lol you made up your mind long before that and just wanted an excuse to generalize and bash a party you do not agree with. Okay, so you're saying lumping an entire party together and generalizing and bashing them is a bad thing. That's a reasonable argument to make.
That's why we refer to you democrats as "sheeple" and you fit the status quo. And yet you lump both yourself ("we") into one camp, and others you disagree with into another camp, and use childish* name-calling to bash the ones you disagree with and have preconceived notions about? You're either a brilliant troll or have the self-awareness and memory of a goldfish**.

I thought the US was supposed to be a christian country
You thought wrong. The US is supposed to be a country without a state religion. Of course that doesn't stop the GOP from shoving its religious views down other people's throats.
And that would be relevant if the response to 9/11 was to protect the world trade center site. But it's not. The response has been to blow trillions of dollars on invading two countries (losing more lives than were lost in 9/11 in the process), engaging in a basically perpetual and unwinnable "war on terror", throwing out civil rights in the name of "security", and starting and organization dedicated to groping people trying to get on an airplane.
If saving lives was really a driving concern those dollars could be spent far more wisely.
If they did that they would get around this law, but that does raise the bar significantly compared to just buying up junk patents and using them to sue people.
If there's one thing politicians of all flavors love it's jingoism. Maybe what we really need to do is reignite the sense of competitiveness by pointing out how the Europeans are leaving the US in the dust when it comes to making new discoveries like the Higgs Boson, and give them something to harp about to their voters when the US wins the race to make the next big discover.
Iran exports about 2.4 million barrels of oil a day. At the current price of about $100/barrel, $400 million is about 1.67 days worth of oil exports for them. Good luck using that investment as a bargaining chip.
Motorola spun off Motorola Mobility earlier this year, an that's the company that Google bought. That's not the same company that's making Motorola branded set-top boxes or any of the other electronic products that aren't related mobile phones.
Firstly, you're wrong, there is plenty of video evidence of a knife being thrown. Secondly, you're just trying to bring irrelevant issues in here... this is not the case of some guy being shot while running away. The cop involved here is not the one in London or elsewhere, and he very clearly was being aggressive here.
Let's flip things around for a second. When someone attempts to use deadly force, why should they be entitled to be treated with kid gloves? Why should the people responding to a situation take on additional risk to themselves or bystanders instead of taking the most expedient action to end the situation. If you threaten someone else's life as far as I'm concerned your life is forfeit. If they happen to take you down alive with a non-lethal shot or something else you should count yourself lucky. If your "doing something stupid" involves throwing knives at people you absolutely should expect to get shot.
Do you honestly believe police (or anyone else for that matter) should not be allowed to respond in kind against a person who attempts a lethal attack? I really hope you never have a kid because you'd be polluting the gene pool.
Where did you get that from? The guy said it referred to a term in a document *he didn't bother to read*. If you sign any contract as important as an options grant without bothering to even read the damn thing you deserve to get fucked. It's not like this was some obscure term buried in some EULA.

I'd say the "toxic" teminolgy are more for dramatic effect, but it does deliver the message
I'd say far from delivering the message, ridiculous hyperbole like that is counter-productive, because it makes it that much easier for people to dismiss the whole thing as kooky.
That's a dumb argument. The people selling warez are doing so off other people's work without incurring any of the effort or cost that goes into creating the content or software. Taking the cost out of the equation obviously makes it easy for them to profit at price points that wouldn't otherwise make sense.
Please, stop cooling magma. No more viscous magna means no more earth magnetic field, hence no more magnetic shield, ie no more life. Please, don't dig for geothermic energy. Leave alone our earth kernel.
Now let's do some math.
Mass of the earth: 5.9*10^24 kg. Apart from a very thin shell on top, most of that is at a couple of thousand degrees kelvin. Magma has a much higher specific heat, but let's be conservative and assume all of earth has the same specific heat as iron, or about 460 J/kg Cooling the earth by a single degree will release about 2.75*10^27 joules
The total world energy consumption from all sources in 2008 was estimated at 4.75*10^20 joules.
At that rate, cooling the interior of the earth by a single degree would power the entire world for 5,789,473 years.
And that's assuming the earth doesn't continue to generate heat from radioactive decay, tidal forces, friction etc.

You do know that energy consumption goes beyond just oil, right?
Maybe you weren't (assuming you're the AC) but from looking at this thread lots of other people seem to think that's an actual concern.
