  1. Shocking, antidisestablishmentarianism . on Supreme Court Overturns Defense of Marriage Act · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Marriage is a religious activity, therefore how can the state discriminate on its basis? If so then the benefits should not be limited to one class. I do have serious questions about polyandry and polygamy but I can see limited the benefits to one "spouse" Anyway go fuck yourselves religious conservatives you are the American Taliban and deserve the same.

    There was a story in one of the Iraq books I read, Rise of the Vulcans or something like that where an amsemtrical warfare game sponsored by the US military was stopped when the Marine commander running the "bad guy team" used things like mopeds to move data rendering all the cool e-warfare shit we had useless. Basically the blue team guys thought they could disrupt and destroy a low tech enemy but it didn't work. Old age and treachery will over come youth and enthusiasm every time.

    It is a damn shame that they didn't slice LOTR into 5 slices for the five books. It is also a damn shame that Jackson had NO idea what he was doing whne he got to the TT. Every story can be reduced to one active voice sentance e.g. Fellowship was, "The Ring tests the members of the company." The Two Towers should have been "The meek use empathy and manners to recruit the strong." (Frodo and Sam recruit Shemgol against Golum and Sam and Merry recruit the Ents.) Every time Jackson violated this is was PAINFUL. Hobbit trick Ents? Go fuck yourself. Farimir takes the Ring? Oh wait you even forgot the premise of the first movie. We need to Phantom menace the Two Towers soooooo badly.

    Chapter Twenty-one
    Down on the dry, red world of Kakrafoon, in the middle of the vast Rudlit Desert, the stage technicians were testing the sound system.

    That is to say, the sound system was in the desert, not the stage technicians. They had retreated to the safety of Disaster Area's giant control ship which hung in orbit some four hundred miles above the surface of the planet, and they were testing the sound system from there. Anyone within five miles of the speaker silos wouldn't have survived the tuning up.

    If Arthur Dent had been within five miles of the speaker silos then his expiring thought would have been that in both size and shape the sound rig closely resembled Manhattan. Risen out of the silos, the neutron phase speaker stacks towered monstrously against the sky, obscuring the banks of plutonium reactors and seismic amps behind them.

    Buried deep in concrete bunkers beneath the city of speakers lay the instruments that the musicians would control from their ship, the massive photon-ajuitar, the bass detonator and the Megabang drum complex.

    It was going to be a noisy show.

    Aboard the giant control ship, all was activity and bustle. Hotblack Desiato's limoship, a mere tadpole beside it, had arrived and docked, and the lamented gentleman was being transported down the high vaulted corridors to meet the medium who was going to interpret his psychic impulses on to the ajuitar keyboard.

    A doctor, a logician and a marine biologist had also just arrived, flown in at phenomenal expense from Maximegalon to try to reason with the lead singer who had locked himself in the bathroom with a bottle of pills and was refusing to come out till it could be proved conclusively to him that he wasn't a fish. The bass player was busy machine-gunning his bedroom and the drummer was nowhere on board.

    Frantic inquiries led to the discovery that he was standing on a beach on Santraginus V over a hundred light years away where, he claimed, he had been happy over half an hour now and had found a small stone that would be his friend.

    The band's manager was profoundly relieved. It meant that for the seventeenth time on this tour the drums would be played by a robot and that therefore the timing of the cymbalistics would be right.

    The sub-ether was buzzing with the communications of the stage technicians testing the speaker channels, and this it was that was being relayed to the interior of the black ship.

    Its dazed occupants lay against the back wall of the cabin, and listened to the voices on the monitor speakers.

    ``OK, channel nine on power,'' said a voice, ``testing channel fifteen ...''

    Another thumping crack of noise walloped through the ship.

    ``Channel fifteen AOK,'' said another voice.

    A third voice cut in.

    ``The black stunt ship is now in position,'' it said, ``it's looking good. Gonna be a great sundive. Stage computer on line?''

    A computer voice answered.

    ``On line,'' it said.

    ``Take control of the black ship.''

    ``Black ship locked into trajectory programme, on standby.''

    ``Testing channel twenty.''

    Zaphod leaped across the cabin and switched frequencies on the sub-ether receiver before the next mind-pulverizing noise hit them. He stood there quivering.

    ``What,'' said Trillian in a small quiet voice, ``does sundive mean?''

    ``It means,'' said Marvin, ``that the ship os going to dive into the sun. Sun ... Dive. It's very simple to understand. What do you expect if you steal Hotblack Desiato's stunt ship?''

    ``How do you know ...'' said Zaphod in a voice that would make a Vegan snow lizard feel chilly, ``that this is Hotblack Desiato's stuntship?''

    ``Simple,'' said Marvin, ``I parked it for him.''

    ``The why ... didn't ... you ... tell us!''

    ``You said you wanted excitement and adventure and really wild things.''

    ``This is awful,'' said Arthur unnecessarily in

    It worked well until they recombined. You just have to do it again and again ad infinitum. Either that or cap the size and life span of corporations.

    Any natural monopoly that is an oligopoly is "ridiculous and immoral".

    Also do you mean liberal as in laze fair or liberal as in Ralph Nader?

    Why is a state run monopoly evil? Because it is not capitalist? The US is not capitalist. Who do you pay every month?
    Power = Monopoly
    Cell = Oligopoly
    Natural Gas = Monopoly
    Fuel Oil = Oligopoly

  24. "A well regulated militia being necessary for the upkeep of the free state,..."?

    The purpose of the 2nd amendment is to protect the public from the tyranny of the government. I would argue that the founding fathers would view the power of multinational corporations as proportionate to that of the state in the modern world. In fact they were very leery of granting limited liability to investors at all, that is why corporations are a function of the state and were intended to have extremely limited rights, (well regulated in fact). A concept lost on oil drilling, coal mining, and other heavily regulated industry that have co-opted their regulators. The current court's reading of the 14th as granting human rights to property and ipso facto corporations having human rights is insane. Your Feynman quote would be well used in testing the results of the 2nd as granting anyone the right to own military arms WITHOUT a well regulated militia to make sure that Bob down the street hasn't lost his marbles and is getting ready to shoot school kids or that Bob is an ass and doesn't lock up his AR and his 12 year old can get to it. But the NRA stopped the funding of science related to gun violence.

    Not to say in anyway that I am against the right to bare arms. (Does bear explicitly demand that they are unconcealed?) I am a land owner and have regularly been in situations where I had reason to shoot people. I use a pistol grip pump action 12 gauge with a folding stock it scares the fuck out of most people. That doesn't mean that I don't think that everyone one in the neighborhood with a gun shouldn't meet up once a month and BBQ, shoot the shit and shoot shit, oh and give everyone a cursory mental health check. I would also go as far as requiring 2 years of mandatory service military or civil to all 18 year olds as well.

    I would also like to point out that your post doesn't actually say anything at all, it is just a snarky little rhetorical question an a bullshit form of debate, if you are a man exercise your first amendment first.
