OR the stormtroopers really ARE the bad shots we see onscreen. It's just that sandpeople are truly pathetic shots, like 'a whole tribe couldn't hit the broadside of a sandcrawler even ONCE' pathetic.
Nice Inquisition strawman there. No sarcasm; it was cute - hey, I like Monty Python references as much as the next geek - but no thanks.
It's simple, really it is. Just do exactly what I said. Be LESS quiet.
Why are all Christian political campaigners, all Christian platforms of PUBLIC communication (radio, TV etc) such loud and constant megaphones for bigotry?
Why are the moderates you see in your congregation so utterly different from the hate-filled public, politically active face of your religion?
What exactly is stopping those like your congregation from making themselves heard in the public arena with the same effectiveness as the nutjobs?
The facts are clear: the folks you talk about are either not as committed as the bigots, or not as common as they are, or both.
Ever think you should maybe be a little LESS quiet to your fellow religionists who constantly parade their hate around until they whip each other up into murderous frenzies?
If a large, vocal and well-funded segment of society loudly declared that not collecting stamps was EVIL and IMMORAL, and wanted to trample the rights of anyone who didn't parade their stamp collection publicly, then you better believe you'd see non-stamp collectors reacting in protest.
There's a reason why legumes + grains (the combination you need to get complete protein) are VERY commonly combined in cuisines from all over the world. Just a few examples off the top of my head: hummus + pita bread, dhal + rice, frijoles + tortillas.
You're right about oysters and mussels, but eating shrimp does not mean you're eating guts, unless the shrimp hasn't been properly butterflied (split open and the intestine taken out).
This is why I eat shrimp (that I butterfly myself or check carefully), but won't eat oysters, mussels, snails etc.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this rec! I never would have run across these two without your mention, and I rather enjoy their banter (and was very pleasantly surprised that bbc.com's iPlayer didn't geoblock my US-resident self).
Agreed on the deliciousness of German beer. I've never had it skunked, because I always stock up on it when it comes out in mini-kegs at this time of year (for Oktoberfest of course).
It's hilarious that you've deluded yourself into believing that your desperate little attempts at changing the topic might actually have some sort of significance.
Here, have a reality check: unlike you with your pitiable fixation on selective quoting, most of the rest of the page is actually managing to talk about about the topic of TFA, the literally life-and-death issue of the recent rise in entirely preventable diseases killing people, traceable to the equally the recent impact of antivaxxer lunacy on public health.
*yawns again* I suppose this is what I get for feeding a troll. No more food for you from me. Toddle off back under your bridge and starve.
Do you have any evidence that shows that 'can't' is less dangerous than 'refusal?'
Easy, what are the numbers of anti-vaxxer morons vs. the numbers of people who have actual medical reasons not to vaccinate? Dimes to dollars the former is more numerous than the latter.
Even if anti-vaxxers aren't more numerous, they have already had demonstrable negative impact on public health, as shown by the obvious fact that infectious diseases were not recurring in the population prior to the recent rise of anti-vaxxer lunacy.
*yawn* All of which is why I said almost every other case. Do at least try to keep up.
Since you obviously need these things spelled out, none of your three Ever-So-Significant points are the direct causes of otherwise perfectly preventable deaths.
Since you seem to need this spelled out too, we weren't discussing people who can't get vaccinated, we were discussing people who can get vaccinated but who are idiotic enough to refuse.
Got any other nits to pick, or would you like to try staying vaguely on-topic for once, instead of these pathetic attempts at derailing?
Since all you can talk about when people are DYING of PREVENTABLE diseases, is a tired old tone argument, do feel free to eat a bag of infectious ward waste.
Infectious diseases don't pay attention to your religion or any of your other crackpot obsessions about autism or mercury or whatever this week's flavor of craziness is.
So the prevention of said diseases shouldn't either.

Tell that to Kiribati, you brainwashed, gullible wingnut.

Yup, and it was every bit as much of a disaster as Zombie Fatcats would be. COINCIDENCE???

"No one does that"? More like everyone does it.

GUILTY! Instant Death Penalty!
*muffled Grand Jury applauding in the distance*
Well, then, if it's 'just "science"', I'm sure you wouldn't EVER use conventional medical treatment if you're ill.
Nope, just placebos for you, Mr. Internet Tough Guy.
Riiight...

Unabated, huh? Sooo, how many countries do these "unabated" Nazis run these days?
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Wow. Did you achieve liftoff with all that handwaving?
What part of you =/= society do you fail to understand?
*standing ovation for a brilliant bit of fact-finding* My kingdom for mod points!

Since you're obviously an antivaxxer moron, I'll spell it out.
In almost every other case, the bad effects of bad parenting stop with the kids.
But in this case, their precious little walking sacks of infection can toddle off outside of home septic home and spread their diseases far and wide.
And if you don't think that's a problem that needs solving, you don't think at all.
Since all you can talk about when people are DYING of PREVENTABLE diseases, is a tired old tone argument, do feel free to eat a bag of infectious ward waste.

...I would've thought that fact alone would be enough to discourage anyone (who's not actually suicidal) from stuffing around with onboard systems.
After all, if you win air miles, aren't you and/or friends & family that much more likely to be onboard when a hacked system goes titsup?
Or am I giving the average hacker too much credit for common sense?
