  1. Re:We are a bunch on Air Force One Flyby Causes Brief Panic In NYC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Indoctrination"? They did the right thing based on the history of hijackings until then. If you would have done something differently based on the knowledge available at the time you would have been the fool.

    Don't you mean the decision to shoot it down has not been taken yet? If it wasn't still an option what would the jets be there for?

    But is that due to the text messages alone, or the increase in phone traffic that also happens at New Years?

    What's absurd about studying how our food supply reproduces? You know there are a lot of fish shortages we are currently dealing with.

    I believe Kucinich was also interested in cutting military spending.

    And by the way, most conservatives were unhappy with George W. Bush's spending.

    Then why did they reelect him in 2004?

    That's not true anymore. Last year they opened some shops in Mexico. That said, they still suck.

    The reason that won't work is because how do you get a computer to dynamically generate these puzzles? The trick is to find something that is easy for a computer to create but not easy for it to reverse. Most common sense AI type puzzles require as much AI to create as they need to solve.

    I see. That makes a little more sense. Hardly seems worth the effort though. Coastal southern California is very dry itself, it's not like there's plenty of moisture to go around before the mountains squeeze it out.

    No. The faults in California are lateral so an earthquake will not result in Arizona Bay, sorry to ruin your well thought out plans.

    Let's quit pretending anyone thinks Obama's the savior of the world. You only make yourself sound idiotic trying to sell that strawman.

    Nothing about the war in Iraq is beneficial to us. Just because the oil isn't flowing still doesn't mean it wasn't part of the original reason for going in. It's just one more failure on a long list of them.

    Has it occurred to you that people may be critical of the electoral college because they understand how it works and think it's a terrible system?

    It was a joke. The previous speaker at that event had a problem with teleprompter so when Obama started speaking he made a joke of it by pretending to read his introduction.

    These desperate attempts by the right-wing to pretend Obama is as dumb as Bush are really pathetic.

    It's unfortunate you feel the need to say "even Maddow and Olbermann" are critical of these policies. They were critical of them under Bush, so of course they would be critical of them under Obama. We've become to accustomed to partisan hacks like Limbaugh and Beck.

    That does not diminish the fact that the Beck/Hannity branch of the right-wing have gone absolutely batshit since the election.

    And the crowd yelling, "DEY TOOK OUR JAHBS and sent them oversez" loudest are the leftist/big labor(must pass card check) crowd.

    Complaining about outsourcing is not a partisan issue, and that's entirely a separate issue from the people complaining about the immigrants taking all our jobs. I think you are not paying attention.

    I don't consider building a massive wall an acceptable way to protect the border. It can't be done without a huge environmental impact and even if it was done it would still be passed quite easily without constant patrols.

    Securing the border isn't a good idea because it's impossible. Legalizing drugs is the only real solution. That doesn't change the fact that American guns are regularly used in Mexico.

    No they are regularly used in crime in Mexico. In case you haven't noticed there's been a lot of violence down there and they use our guns because they can't be bought in Mexico.

    Yeah, lefties are so vindictive. Remember that president they hated so much that they concocted an impeachment just so they could tie his administration up in legal proceedings? Those lefties have no shame, do they?
