  1. Re:Why we should spend 1/2 of 1% of our budget on Why Space Exploration Is Worth the Cost · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm so disappointed that you won't play anymore. But hey, maybe I'll go invent a flying car with all the free time I'll have now instead of joining you in whining about the future of the planet! After my Mommy changes my diapers of course. Cheers.

    Profanity? Please. Did I offend your virgin ears with a word like, "shit"? Or maybe it was the "dammit" that offended you.

    Please explain how "our environment" is being "screwed over". Is that one of those "we're all in this thing together, so you'd better agree with me, or else" attitudes?

    I'm a troll for expressing my opinion that much said on this topic is fuzzy-headed, misguided science-fiction. OK, gotcha. I see where you're coming from and now understand the nature of your response.

    So what? Do you know who your great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents were? Do you care?

    Do you think humanity at large gives a shit about you, me or Einstein? One day this big ole rotating rock is gonna be without living stuff on it, but it ain't gonna happen anytime soon (or it could happen tomorrow). Spare me the long-term, we-are-so-important self-congratulatory global benevolence attitute and invent me a flying car, dammit.

    I have more humour points here than I know what to do with. Some people say that laughter is a sign of an advanced society.

    I have a 30 incher for my Windows desktop and a 17" MacBook Pro. I bought these to overcompensate for my extremely small penis. I currently masturbate using a microscope and tweezers. Wait, did I just say that last part out loud?

    I don't see what the concern is. I'll take a wild guess and propose that trained security types already know to look for body language and behaviour that indicate nervousness. People do this all the time when dealing with others; the only time this is not observed is when typing on the internet like I'm doing now.
