  1. Re:Just another Con Man on James Randi's Latest Debunking Operation · · Score: 1

    If you had just posted this first, it would've save you some trouble. I'm curious as to why you're pissed at this Randi guy, rather than the editor who brought him in. Seems to me he didn't "butted into a science lab experiment". He was invited, and did what someone asked him to do.

  2. Re:News? on The Destruction of Iraq's Once-Great Universities · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Presidential Medal of Freedom is our way of saying "you fucked up"

    ... It's not anywhere near as simple as the press and the bloggers make it out to be.

    What is?

    And we are free to be critical of our government and society, and to express that criticism. That is a one of those great traditions you mentioned.

    Obama is Dubya V2.0. The folks who thought he was liberal got pwned.

    Like the people in power give damn. Look at North Korea.

    I disagree. "The media" may resist, but if enough people get behind this, they will come around and cover it.

    Saying "it's hopeless" only guarantees that it will remain hopeless.

    ...I'm not saying this is the case, but what an excellent marketing plan to get your name out there.

    So, then what are you trying to say?

  13. Re:Strange, isn't it? on Businesses Now Driving "Bring Your Own Device" Trend · · Score: 1

    That would be too much work. Welcome to the new century, where no one wants to do hard, unpleasant things.

    I think the Democrats nominating someone as unpalatable as John Kerry had more to do with Bush's second term.

  17. Re:This is ridiculous on The Painkiller That Saves Money But Costs Lives · · Score: 1

    And it's not that Oxycontin is a 'bad' medication, but it's gotten caught up in our moralistic, war on drugs mindset.

    And methadone hasn't? I know it isn't what the cool kids are using, but methadone has been on the naughty list for awhile.

    BTW, it isn't our moralistic, war on drugs mindset. You can claim it if you wish, I prefer not to.

  23. Re:If they're going to do this shit anyways on Mexican Cartel Beheads Another Blogger · · Score: 1
    So what "civil liberties" are you referring to, then? I'm confused. If Mexico makes a decision in that regard, which civil liberty would you be deprived of, exactly?

    Your implied desire to impose your morals and standards upon other people - in this case the people of Nuevo Laredo - without their consent is what makes you wrong, not your views on the advisability and risks of martial law as a method of dealing with this issue.

    Neither artificial, nor intelligent - at least according to some :). I suspect the reason it - Diaspora (software) - didn't show up is because I didn't capitalize it.
