    Are you sure? The harder they fail at fixing the current mess, the harder it'll be for them to get hired afterwards. Nothing disillusions the supporters of a broken system like its colossal, unmitigated, blatant failure.

    In total agreement.

    Both sides are constantly blaming the other for the deadlock in Congress. They haven't passed a budget since April 2009. That is one of the things the Constitution requires them to do, and they haven't done their job in almost five years.

    Both sides blame the other. And both sides are right. It is like the expression "No individual raindrop believes it caused the flood."

    Just like the raindrops, it isn't an individual drip that caused it, it is ALL of them together. Even the ones that are trying to make it better, they still bear some responsibility for the problems. Because ALL of them are responsible, ALL of them should be fired. Many people say "Not my congresspeople, they represent my views!" No. All of them contributed to the mess, ALL of them should go.

    I don't want to see things fail. I would much prefer to be watching a colossal success and the establishment of policies that the entire world holds up as monuments to human achievement. Instead we are watching doomsday debt clocks, there are discussions about global economic collapse, and millions of people wonder about losing their livelihood. I don't like watching things fail, but if they do fail, I hope it fails in such a way that people will again seize control of government, rather than letting government seize them. The best failures are the ones that lead to change and future success.

    Very well stated.

    Obama did not write it. He has no idea what is in it.

    And yet he signed the bill. I think every person that had some part in the passing of that bill is equally responsible. There should be more responsibility, integrity, and intelligence in the creation of new laws.

    It's always the same thing... Push bills, laws, projects, software, etc that are unfinished, untested, and generally not fit for public consumption. Did the public REALLY want to alpha/beta test this crap?

  12. Did you just hear that? on Cyborg Cockroach Sparks Ethics Debate · · Score: 1

    Reminded me of the dorms in college. Roommate had been eating Doritos while playing on his XBox. The lights were currently off. I'm on my computer. I hear a crunch. I think nothing of it. I hear it again. I proceed to ask him if he heard the sound as well. However he had his headset on while playing said XBox. So we turned the light on and saw a chip that had fallen underneath his chair. First I thought perhaps he crunched the chip with his chair, but that was not the case. On closer inspection there appeared to be a roach nibbling on the Dorito. If anyone was wondering what sound a cockroach makes when eating, I can assure you it indeed makes an audible crunching sound when eating Doritos.

    “If it was discovered that a teacher was having students use magnifying glasses to burn ants and then look at their tissue, how would people react?”

    When I was in elementary school we had to collect 25-50 different insect species per child. We then killed these insects with rubbing alcohol, and preserved them with hairspray. We were graded on the number collected, accurate identification, labeling of parts, and presentation. The 5th grade hallway was an insect holocaust every year. I never heard anyone in an uproar. I'm not sure this is that much different minus the technology. It's still for education, and it isn't like they are doing this to domesticated pets. Would I go out of my way to kill a harmless, relatively clean insect today? No. Would I kill an insect that posed a threat or possibly spread disease? Yes.

  18. Hmmm... on Do Comments On Web Pages Ruin Science? · · Score: 1

    Require signup to post? Ban after obscene or blatant misuse? Close comments after a certain period of time? Allow for reporting of abuse? Incorporate moderation? Allow voters to push comments up or down? In most cases you cannot change those who act without showing respect and dignity for others opinions or beliefs. Ideas should be debated respectfully. Sadly, you can't remove the human aspect.

  19. Re:Dissident Speech on Do Comments On Web Pages Ruin Science? · · Score: 1

    This is a brilliant example of how comments don't work. It's emotional, obscene and grammatically incorrect. Comment sections don't foster debate, they tend to foster name calling and repetition of the same damned arguments over and over again.
