I'm not concerned with whether something is a threat or not. I'm simply interested in the idea that the government can assist you in living your life as if you are contained in an antiseptic bubble for your entire life.
Yes, the limits to which the government should go in an effort to protect its citizens is a complex one. The problem is the vast majority of the electorate doesn't see it that way. It pretty much boils down to save me gub'mint Jeebus!
Absolutely. We should immediately begin crowding all citizens of the US into 10% of the land mass in order to achieve Japan's population density so we can reduce these costs.
California would be good. I already live here and don't want to move.
Well-well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
I am still an environmental advocate, since there is also no reason to make things any worse,
This is my feeling exactly. There are enough good reasons to lower pollution we don't need such a controversial one. Just as there are enough good reasons to be nice to each other we don't have to need an invisible sky-Daddy watching us with threats of burning.
Actually, both belief systems tell us we must repent our ways before it is too late lest we face high temperature torments. Interesting.

...what the rest of the world says. Bush made it policy that the US acts unilaterally when the administration believes it is in our best interest.
As Obama has made clear with warrantless wiretapping, he intends to hold onto Bush's powers.
Try being colorblind. I've seriously had to walk away from websites where it just wasn't going to happen.
You know what ticked me off? The appointees who "had problems" paying taxes never paid a dime of interest or penalties.
Yuck.

9/11 changed everything you insensitive clod!
Awesome, it's like a dictatorship with an extra choice!
I feel bad for you.
I am referencing betamax, sdds, super audio cd, minidisc, umd, memory stick pro, and other sony abortions).
Yes, that'll definitely get you some mod points around these parts.
(Hint: I am referencing the fact that you are making hyperbolic statements to get attention.)
Hating the entire company is like hating Obama because Bush was president for the last eight years.

And thus, horribly, we realize that our government cannot protect us from every tragedy, both public and personal.
But damnit if we won't keep handing over our civil liberties to try!
People seemed to want big fat SUVs for a looooong time. Detroit just didn't give enough other options.
I am not sure why this is.

So hey, keep let's keep blowing our wad in Afghanistan. Thanks Mr. Obama.

If it's not an Xbox, they will probably hate it.
Sure, make it angry.

No, real Trek fans are feeling burned out too, and are tired of Paramount 'effing up the franchise with trash like Enterprise.
Enterprise actually picked up well in the last season. I was sad to see it go.
TNG started out pretty craptastic too. I think Enterprise just got too aggressive too fast with big storylines.

I'm sure this discussion will be flooded with global warming deniers,
I don't think anyone denies that's it's a gotten warmer over the last decade. The question is whether that is man's fault.
and calling yourself jesus or some other mythical character
I'm pretty sure Jesus existed, though I'm more sure that if he did he wasn't divine.

If by awesome you mean tediously pandering to professors' subjective biases, then yes, always awesome.
Sounds like perfect job training for CS to me.
Depending on how much you pay per month, you get a set amount of refundable credits to spend on the games.
Credits? Tokens? Just as long as no one lines up to put quarters on my desk.
I am NOT a fanboy! How dare you say....

Awww damnit. You got me.
