The logic behind using safe forms of nuclear power has been clear for a long, long time.
The real problem lies in determining what is "safe". The regulations for safe nuclear power will be written by the same sorts of people who let Enron write US energy policy. Can the US Congress, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of corporate interests, be trusted to enact legislation that might negatively impact the earnings of GE? Are you willing to bet your life on it?
I don't see talent coming out of college and moving to the Midwest (a very profitable IT sector), most are instead moving to the west coast, taking a big salaried job,...
I've hired a good many of those people you mention having moved from the Midwest to the West Coast. More often than not, they are non-white, non-Christian and/or non-heterosexual. They are thrilled to finally live in a place that doesn't try to outlaw them. And they are highly skilled. People with options will exercise them so maybe you could make it a little friendlier for them to live in the Midwest and you'd have an easier time with the hiring.
I am kind of surprised and disgusted that you chose a forum that is essentially about FREEDOM OF SPEECH to label an opinion which disagrees with yours as LIBEL.
This is not a free speech issue. Your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins. The original poster claimed that Clark was "actively" aiding child molesters. Were someone to say that about me, I'd have their ass.
Yeah, but as that famous philosopher Meat Loaf noted, sometimes you just CANNOT sleep on it:
I couldn't take it any longer Lord I was crazed And when the feeling came upon me Like a tidal wave I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave That I would love you to the end of time I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
Unless you are already living off the grid, growing all your own food, and never traveling farther from your home than you can walk, you have no moral standing to criticize my choice of vehicles.
Sure I do - I at least make an effort and am willing to try harder if I can. So let me just add my, "go fuck yourself, you self-centered bastard", to the rest of the chorus.
As well, it also ignors that the conviction in rate in China is over 95% and there is no such concept as Jurisprudence or Miranda Rights.
Yet, in China, nearly everyone is treated equally under the law while here you only get as much justice as you can pay for. If your name is OJ Simpson or Patsy Ramsey, the cops ask permission to interview you. If your name is Abner Louima and you're poor, you get a stick rammed up your ass in the back room.
China has many times the number of people imprisoned which would possibly be classified as "political dissidents"
Who get sto do the classification? If it's George Bush, then all the Chinese prisoners are dissidents and none of the US prisoners are.
So do you think it's OK that the USA has more people in prison than any other country in the world? Doesn't that tell you that something is wrong?
Fair housing laws are pretty much all lip service, IMO. It's not like employment laws where you can judge by qualifications-- there is no real way to measure who would make a good tenant
Possibly true. However, if two people with EXACTLY the same background and references show up to rent a place and the black/hispanic/gay one never gets "qualified", that says a lot. There are groups who do this exact kind of thing and they've whacked corporations like Wells-Fargo pretty hard for it.
There is an endless list of useless and/or misused software products being purchased by business today. If your SaaS can get some cool buzzwords and lots of hype, the PHBs will line up to buy it, nevermind the risk.
For the obvious reason that it's not capitalism but corporatism. Capitalism is the greatest way ever invented to lift the most people out of poverty. Corporatism, on the other hand, is more about litigation and repression and gaming the system by any means necessary. What the faceless, soulless repressiveness of communism was to the last century, the corporations will be doing this century.
No, just repressed. Just because someone is conservative doesn't necessarily make them stupid. Stupid people, however, are nearly always conservative due to their limited abilities to envision change.
With blocking software in place it's likely that that our future, the youth of the world, will grow up yanking it to "graphical information about vaginal yeast infections."
Could that be any worse than yanking to images of women who've had so much plastic surgery that they only vaguely resemble human beings? Hard to say.
That solution will neither help people find porn nor stop the christians from whining about it. The problem isn't about segregating porn, but determinig what porn is. Are 18th century impressionist nudes porn? What about Playboy? Is graphical information about vaginal yeast infections porn? If we set up a system where all "porn" goes in the.xxx domain, then someone has to decide what is and is not required to go there. That "someone" is likely to be a Republican so that means all sex education material and anything relating to birth control or LGBT issues will be classified as porn and forced into the ghetto.
Since I don't have any ideas for you, here's my trucker joke:
A truck driver stopped at a roadside diner for lunch and ordered a cheeseburger, coffee, & a slice of apple pie. Three bikers came in, and one grabbed the trucker's cheeseburger out of his hand and took a huge bite from it. The second biker drank the trucker's coffee, & the third biker wolfed down the apple pie. The truck driver didn't say a word, just paid the cashier & left. When he was gone, the bikers snickered & congratulated each other for being such bad asses. As the cashier walked up, a biker growled, "He ain't much of a man is he?" "He's not much of a driver neither," replied the cashier. "He just backed his 18 wheeler over three motorcycles."
Why do God and Science have to be mutually exclusive?
They are not "mutually" exclusive. The exclusion is completely one-sided. Scientists (rational scientists anyway) make no claim one way or the other as to the existence of God because she is unprovable. Whether or not we feel the Big Bang Theory to be accurate has no bearing on our belief that the Creator caused the Big Bang. It is entirely the work of the ID crowd to claim that science is trying to disprove God and, as such, are "anti-God". By the same token there is no "war on Christmas" as a war requires there to be two sides.
Not really. Of all the chicanery that requires law enforcement resources to investigate, this one ranks pretty low. There are any number of reasons someone may have legitimately invested, including run-of-the-mill nincompoopery.
Five hours of sleep per night is NOT enough. Despite what you think and what you hear from your friends, you need more sleep. From wikipedia on sleep deprivation, "Lack of sleep may also result in irritability, blurred vision..." Go to bed.
That seems like an awfully short time period to have leached out enough material to allow current to flow. I wonder what they did to clean the circuit boards of residue prior to filling the box with water? It probably says in the article but I'd hate to defy etiquette and actually read it.
Why, again, do we care about the cesspool that is MySpace?
Exactly. And why should we be surprised about their censorship? It is, after all, owned by the same person who runs the Republican propaganda machine known as Fox News. I'm shocked. Shocked I say.
I was just thinking that it might be a worthwhile investment to buy a copy of my Senators' phone records and mail it to them. It might be the best way to make a point about privacy.
Nonsense. You don't trade stocks based on their current worth. You trade them based on your estimation of their future worth. Unless, of course, you don't understand the concept.
No matter what I think or so, no matter how much time is thrown away some judge somewhere is going to say that my deliberations were worthless.
That's not actually the case. The overwhelming majority of jury actions are upheld. I think your misconception probably is the result of the attack our judicial system is under by the radical right. They would like you to believe that all judges are usurping our system and that the most trivual lawsuits result in huge awards being made by "activist" judges. The truth of the matter is that our judicial system still works pretty well. Judges apply the law in a fair and impartial manner and the jury system works. Not always, but for the most part.
