    I think it's a bad thing to repress free speech. Without hearing your ignorant invective firsthand we couldn't appreciate how fucked up you truly are.

  2. Re:No surprise on Religion Is Good For Your Brain · · Score: 1

    It's easy to focus on the negative. I can find negativity in any area at all. That is a major problem with a lot of religious people, they focus on the negative instead of the positive. It's best to worry about your own negatives and concentrate on positives externally. It's alright though, go on and condemn all you want. It's interesting you take essentially the same stance toward those you condemn.

    It's clear you have no understanding of religion. Everyone likes to focus on the nutcases running around foaming at the mouth. Any group has a percentage of these people who are unhinged. Many people who attend church do not, in my opinion, truly believe in a God. Many are there for the social aspects of it. A lot of people are there because it feels good to be around people of a like moral perspective. They like performing charitable works and helping others. It's a community. I've been to lots of churches and every single one of them had a different focus. Some are no more than glorified country clubs. The best ones though are the ones that have a strong faith that focuses on the soul. Not the ranting on and hatred of sinners but the love of others and the searching of ones own heart. Silly to you it may be but I know I've seen amazing changes in the lives of people for the better.

    Don't go there. It's not about politics it's about money. I'm as far right as anyone around but I can't see where it's any government's business to regulate to this level. The only possible purpose this law has is to squeeze one business out to protect the established ones. I'm tired of these so called "conservatives" pushing more government regulation. He's not conservative he's a monopolist.

    Many auto manufacturers own members of Congress it seems. Tucker already tried busting into this business ages ago by out innovating the established companies and he got stepped on. I can't see Tesla succeeding here either. It'll be one rule or regulation after another until they are buried.

    The statement that they export 100 billion gallons of water in alfalfa is silly. There is a sod farm down the road from me and they water grass like crazy. Is all that water in the grass? When they cut, roll and ship the sod does the water go with it? Nope. Some of the water is used by the grass for it's growth, a lot evaporates and a lot goes into the ground returning to the water table. This is pure propaganda of the worst kind. What about the cattle? How much water is in a pound of ground beef? Hundreds? Of course not! It may take hundreds to grow it but the cows piss out almost all the water they take in. That water doesn't ship with them. There is a cost to grow these things and it does take water but water is replenishable although if you overpopulate an area (California) it will become scarce. Maybe deserts were meant to be dry? This article is sensationalism.

    Not that amazing. The US government has been sold off to the highest bidders. They just interpret the Constitution to mean what they want it to mean so it doesn't get in their way anymore. At least they're smart enough to know there are limits to what they can do without waking up the apathetic majority. As long as they don't go too far most people are content to ignore the danger of a government that has slipped it's leash.

    Actually selling firearms is mostly legal. Some States have certain regulations you have to comply with but generally compliance isn't that difficult. I don't know why they'd use Facebook though as there are much better places to advertise their wares that are known to people interested in buying and selling firearms. This is just a lot of hysteria as people who like to bitch are looking for an excuse to be offended. Facebook is privately owned and can ban pretty much anything they want.

    I find it hard to believe that I've been using Nvidia for almost a decade and I see none of these problems either. I keep hearing people ranting about linux sucks and 3D on it is broken while I happily keep rolling on. Either I'm smarter than I think or a lot of them are trolling. Regardless Google can suck my dick. I support those who support me. Chrome isn't that special anyway. Sure it's faster. I've seen that but it's not like it's 30,000% faster.

    I don't get this nVidia doesn't work on linux stuff. It's the only video card I've ever gotten to work, well not counting Intel which had until recently abysmal 3D performance. Two ATI cards returned because they just killed the machine but 9 years running Nvidia on linux. I think the problem with Nvidia on Unity is more because of Unity which is still pretty buggy.

    Somehow Intel is able to do this but AMD is incapable of writing decent drivers. Great hardware is useless without software which is why I don't own any AMD gear and with the exception of an old PowerMac 9600 never have. I do use Nvidia and put up with their closed drivers on Linux because they do at least function unlike AMD's.

  25. Already There on PETA Abandons $1 Million Prize For Artificial Chicken · · Score: 1

    The chickens they mass produce today are artificial. They're so full of synthetic hormones and other chemicals they grow to 5 pounds or more in 6 weeks. I used to raise chickens when I was a kid and the average chicken breast in the store today weighs almost as much as an entire fryer from my flock used to. It's incredible. I flipped through a poultry catalog and they have things like "brandX." BrandX has to have special supplements in it's feed so their legs don't break because they weigh too much too fast for their bone structure.
