even if they did dump the stuff in the sea, there's so little of it that it would be diluted so quickly it would be entirely harmless. and chemicals like sarin and mustard gas break down very quickly in seawater.
flying bombs are called cruise missiles, they've been around for ages and they aren't cheap. naval targets tend to be pretty well defended against these sort of things.
They're no different than any other airplanes. If other countries decide to use them outside their borders, and threaten U.S. interests, the U.S. can "counsel restraint" in it's usual manner: with bombs.
Ask the average tea partier how much of the federal budget is spent individually on nasa, welfare, foreign aid, food stamps, obama phones, free abortions and qurans for terrorists and their numbers will add up to about 400%. The other half is spent on obamacare.
You misunderstand what is meant by math skills. I work with people, many of them college graduates, who have trouble adding and subracting, who do not understand that it is possible to convert between different units of weight or length, who believe it is possible to convert units of mass to units of length, and who believe circles have lenghts and widths. My boss very often sends emails that cannot be understood. I don't mean that they require clarification or further explanation, they literally cannot be parsed using the rules of english grammer. Our managing director's memos could easily have been written by a 2nd grader, and she apparently has not yet discovered the existence of spell check. The basic computer skills required in my job description apparently are limited to turning the computer on and off. There are people here with 20 years of experience who do not comprehend the most basic things about our business.
Ditto for anyone who lives near the great lakes. Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, and hundreds of smaller communities drink lake water. Salt Lake City's water comes from the mountain streams that carry snowmelt down from the Wasatch mountains.
I work in importing and all quantities for imported goods must be reported to U.S. customs in metric units, so the U.S. is already using the metric system as it's official system of measurement. It works out well for the most part, except for Canadian goods. Canadians, being our neighbors, "know" that we don't use the metric system, so they try to make everything "easier" by reporting everything in english units. Seriously annoying. And then there is textile fabric, which is customarily sold by the yard even in countries that have been using the metric system forever.
One area that definitely needs to change though is beer. U.S. bars seem to think that "pint" refers to all glasses of a certain shape. Most "pints" sold in U.S. bars are 14 oz, in clear violation of the law. Marking glasses in ml would be a welcome improvement.
They did. Only it was called GURT. Genetic Use Restriction Technology. The so-called terminator gene, which resulted in sterile seed from plants grown from monsanto seeds. The anti-gmo crowd managed to create so much FUD around it that it became a publicity nightmare and they promised not to use it.
Any licensed pesticide applicator that "goes berserk" with their chemicals would be out of business and maybe in jail pretty quickly. And Monsanto's roundup ready crops cut down on the amount of herbicide needed to control weeds. As far as pesticides go, glyphosate is one of the safer ones.
Yes! This is obviously a fiendish plot by Monsanto to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids. And if you think that's bad, just wait until you find out what the queers are doing to the soil.

All the recent mass murders in the U.S. have got the right wing blogosphere screaming for a crackdown on the mentally ill.
you mean like coal, gas and oil pay their own way? They get hundreds of billions of dollars worth of subsidies every year.

A Pythons reunion now would be like a Beatles reunion consisting of just Ringo.
Fool! There's no such thing as a perfectly good airplane.

I mean, books and flea markets. Do such things really still exist?
Nothing resembling "the arctic" is ever mentioned in the Bible.
The average person produces around 30ml of pure ethanol endogenously every day. Alcohol dehydrogenases exist for a reason.
NASA is a cold war era propaganda program.
Rubbish! You're conflating congressional oversight with public oversight and they are far from the same thing.
you seem to be forgetting about that "without due process" bit.
Just like all the crazy theories surrounding all the "dinosaur" fossils that the jews buried in 1924.
there is no shortage of redneck children in the world
Any technology that prevents the accidental death of irresponsible gun owners' children is simply interfering with natural selection.
I'm thinking of converting my Hummer to run on whale oil.

Yeah but you're not like, burning it with FIRE, man, you're burning it with iron! And the iron is recyclable, unlike fire.
