There is always a group of people willing to re-classify everything in the hopes that the mere act of doing this either a) causes some real science to fall out, like loose change from the pockets of people being shaken on fairground rides or b) causes some other people to think that what they are doing is actually important. Coming from the medical field, I really don't give a damn if you call it (non-politically acceptable) mental retardation or (politically acceptable, current) chronic non progressive encephalopathy, and I'm sure the patient doesn't either.

Most fatties don't eat breakfast. It's one of the first things nutritionists try to fix. I should know - I used to be a fatty 60 lbs ago. Now I eat breakfast.
It's not prejudice, it's critical thinking. The kind that lets you understand that even though you can write an algebraic proof that 1 = 2, one does not really equal two.
Unlike private debt, government debt doesn't really have to be repaid
It does have to be repaid when its owed to other governments and they want to collect. Otherwise they usually send an army or better yet a coalition of armies to collect for them, like has happened many times in history. It's the debt to the "people" that doesn't have to be repaid because - the bonds are junk and what exactly are you gonna do about it, pal? Get too snotty and we throw you in jail. We're the government.
Because Ron Paul has been pushing for the US to go back on the gold standard for many decades. Maybe if you read up a little bit on potential election candidates, America wouldn't keep electing complete idiots.
No, a real life is one where cause follows effect, where disorder tends to increase over time, where energy is conserved and where you therefore get diminishing returns whenever you do anything.
And don't forget human greed. People with too much easy money thinking "oh, I'll give this guy venture capital for a 90% cut and if it pans out, I'll be a gazillionaire".
The French tried to have a worldwide empire but every time they were making progress the Brits would find another excuse to go to war with them. If it wasn't the Brits, it was the Spanish, who hated the French almost as much as they hated the British. I think they pretty much held their own though. I just wonder what the map of North America would look like had Napoleon not sold the Louisiana territories to the Americans. America would be surrounded by French in Quebec, and French all up the Mississippi river down to New Orleans. Possibly the Spanish would still own the west coast. It would be quite different!
because their own ideas of freedom and liberty, governed by corportations are not accepted by those pesky Canadians.
Eh I live in Costa Rica but I'm Canadian. I always tell people that Canada is what the US could have been, had they not been rebels. It's not so bad. I think the best example is seen by driving in a car from Buffalo NY to Toronto, Ontario. The minute you're over the border at Niagara Falls everything looks - different:)

Congress had nothing to do with this. The TSA is acting all on their own now.

And yet they went on to detonate it anyway, which pretty much sums up how the rest of the scientists viewed this extreme conclusion.

Or having sex with an actual, real female.
Or you could win a whole bunch of money and have to go and buy a lottery ticket in order to prevent the universe from exploding.
That doesn't make it true. The WHOLE universe? Such claims fail to pass my "extremes" filter.
My bad - neither am I, so I assumed that at least one of us was.

You are surprisingly optimistic to think that this much gold is going to a) be forgotten about and/or b) last that long intact.
To assay it properly you need to take core samples?
Why? It's not as if the demand for oil would die overnight even if this was legit, which it isn't.
doh - effect follows cause. It's too early.

No, a little polonium goes a long way.
which would destroy the observable universe.
Equally unbelievable.

Of course. It is your civic duty to do your part for The Cause, citizen. And please let us know if you see your neighbor doing anything suspicious.
You're wrong?
