    You just have got to be a persiflage of yourself. Honestly. Are you now really complaining about safety regulations when dealing with extremely dangerous nuclear materials?

    Consider that the level of security for nuclear warheads you've just described costs money. Tons of money.

    Now contrast this:

    If security really were the issue with nuclear, it would be easily solved.

    with this:

    I know you said we don't actually build "modern" reactors, but ANY design of reactor can fail, because people run them, boards that demand profit oversee management, and sometimes people fly airplanes into buildings.

    If it cuts into profits, someone will want to cut costs - and corners. That's what frightens me, personally. Not that we can't make things secure, technically. It's human nature at it's worst that will cause a reactor to blow up or be blown up, not problems due to lack of understanding of the science behind it.

    Solar can provide about 5% of our energy needs, but for the vast majority of our power, we can choose between oil, coal, natural gas, or nuclear.

    Wait... what? So the people who spoke out againt Mr. Eich didn't exercize their right to free speech? Now I'm all confused. Is it only free speech if YOU agree with it, and otherwise it's "Political correctness bullshit"? Rather interesting interpretation.

    How would a law allowing same-sex couples to marry have had any effect on him? Such law would not have forced him to marry a man, would it? So what the hell are you drivelling on about?

    Solid logic, espcially considering that thinking about something and actually doing it is the same thing!

    You can also get shitloads of additional songs for Rocksmith and Rocksmith 2014 from online communities. For learning purposes only, naturally. Kind of like mods for other games. Only songs that are not released as DLCs, naturally.

    The Nazis were democratically elected into power. If you supported democracy, you had to support the Nazis in 1939 (prior to their invasion of Poland in September).

    You are aware that one of the Nazi regime's first acts was the abolition of democracy, right? Nobody had to support those shits. And you don't ever have to support or respect a government that suppresses, tortures, imprisons and kills its own people. Neither in Germany nor in South Africa.

  23. "Everyone would do it" on Feinstein and Rogers: No Clemency For Snowden · · Score: 1

    Maybe, maybe not. But can't we at least agree that none of this, not even one measly percent, is about security, least of all for ordinary citizens? It's about hegemonial goals. It's about having an edge over the competition (both the guys you call 'friends' as well as the guys you call names), both in terms of politics, policies and economy. It has nothing to do with crazed terrorists or bomb-carrying Iraqis. Can we please agree on this? That'd enrich the whole debate with at least a smidgeon of honesty.
