I'll be happy when people get bored enough with so-called 'smartphones' that they stop even buying them in the first place and go back to just plain-old-dumbphones, so they stop walking into stationary objects and other people, and driving dangerously, because they've got their eyes glued to the gods-be-damned thing.
You, sir, are 100% correct about Pence.
One of my great fears is that the GOP knows Trump won't survive and get impeached, and that maybe they WANT Pence instead, he wouldn't have won the election as the candidate, and this would be their back-door way of getting Pence as POTUS.
Yeah sure let's militarize every gods-be-damned thing, as if we aren't already living on the War World. Endless cycles of war, what a great way to live!
We should be so lucky. The mere appearance of interstellar aliens would be a game-changer for our species (or so I'd hope). Being threatened by an interstellar alien race would most certainly get us over all this infighting bullshit in short order, giving people a common enemy has a tendency to do that. I'd rather deal with that than this Dominionist bullshit of trying to bring about the apocalypse.
Also who wants to live in a world that seems to be locked into a continual cycle of war or threat of war? Would be nice if we'd evolve past this bullshit.
Know what will happen because of this? Every other nation on the planet that has a space program will now be compelled to do the same. Likely won't be long before there are nuclear warheads in orbit from one country or another. So much for peaceful space exploration. More fucking Dominionist shit from Pence and the Trump administration. I hope Congress votes it down.
Yeah, what you said. I'm betting (s)he's probably the micromanaging middle-manager type where (s)he works, and the thought of not keeping everyone under his/her thumb all day long makes him/her feel like they're going to piss themself.

What's next? Bring back DDT? Deregulate formaldehyde? Radium jars? Start letting tobacco companies advertise that smoking is healthy?
You're quoting from the Dominionist Handbook (aka 1984).
Nobody else has a 'space force' at this point in time, why are WE the ones who has to break the seal on that? Why precipitate the whole mess? Why???
I said, PROVE IT, not fling half-assed theories around. FACTS!
Your optimism is both endearing and saddeningly naive. :-(

You are correct, and you're also one of the very few around here who actually understand it's a Real Thing.
We're SUPPOSEDLY sentient now and should be able to THINK our way around stupid-ass violent 'instincts'!
Why the ACTUAL FUCK do you believe we have to "overcome weaker nations"? Are you also forgetting the tags around your comment?
<sarcasm>Nuclear weapons = peace</sarcasm>
FTFY
You've got pretty good distance vision for an AC.
sez you
No, it's destructive and wasteful and only shows that we're just gods-be-damned animals and not truly sentient.
We shouldn't be doing it at all. I'm hoping Congress votes this down.

Your philosophy, such as it is, sucks ass. You're clearly no better than the people you're describing.

Prove it, FUD spreader, PROVE IT.

This isn't a video game.

Blow me.
Hitting a bird with the drone prop would most certainly break the prop and crash the drone.
