    Wow. Did you come up with that crap yourself or are you just aping something you heard on talk radio?

    ...why should I take even the tiny risk of having a vaccination to protect some idiot who refuses to get vaccinated...

    Pot. Kettle. Black.

  7. Re:Seems reasonable.. on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: 1

    How are they violating "do no harm" by getting rid of patients who are harming their children (and their children's friends and schoolmates) by rejecting vaccinations? The harm is being done by the parents, not the doctors.

  8. Re:Relevant portion of one of the documents on Leaked Heartland Institute Documents Reveal Opposition To Science · · Score: 1

    What turns me off from the whole AGW camp...I just tune them out...If you'd just admit it then perhaps you'd gain more supporters.

    With, what, 97% of climatologists in agreement with AGW, it's not enough for you to be just skeptical. You need to hold your side up to the same impossibly high standards you have set for AGW, eh? We all await your "incontrivertable facts" supporting your "skepticism". What's that? You don't have them? Sounds like denial to me.

  9. Re:"Smart" TVs? on Television Next In Line For Industry-Wide Shakeup? · · Score: 1

    Keep dreaming about a-la-carte. Content creators won't allow it.

    I dunno. Apple has $100 billion in the bank. They could use some of that to make content creators very friendly.

  10. Captain Kirk to the Rescue (again) on Erasing Neuronal Memories May Help Control Chronic Pain · · Score: 4, Funny

    "You know that pain and guilt can't be taken away with a wave of a magic wand. They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my pain taken away! I need my pain!"

  11. Re:first post? on Perl Data Language 2.4.10 released · · Score: 2

    The language wasn't really designed, but happened by urban sprawl and accretion over the years.

    It's called "evolution". It works well for complex things.

  12. Re:It is getting hotter on 2011 Was the 9th Hottest Year On Record · · Score: 1

    The point is that 130 years is not enough history to start calling trends on global climate shifts.

    There are lots of creationists, too.

  14. Re:But Yahoo shareholders got such a good deal. on Jerry Yang Resigns From Yahoo · · Score: 2

    Given the billions of $ in shareholder value lost because Yang valued his pride more than the shareholders, that $1 cost way too much.

  15. Re:Kind of a bummer on Jerry Yang Resigns From Yahoo · · Score: 1

    I really have to wonder if Yahoo should have accepted Microsoft's $45 billion bid, which Yang was roundly criticized for rejecting.

    Really? You wonder whether Y! should have accepted $45B with their current market cap less than half that? Really?

    Really?

    But perhaps we are being unfair to former President Clinton. After all, in inflation-adjusted terms, Clinton had overseen a total spending increase of only 3.5 percent at the same point in his administration. More importantly, after his first three years in office, non-defense discretionary spending actually went down by 0.7 percent.

    The Christianity that Jesus proclaimed is not like that at all. Catholicism is a human distortion of God's plan--the same could be said for all "versions" of Christianity.
