    Speeding cars can kill you. Piracy might only kill Hollywood and in my opinion that is a good thing.

    If they sell you out to special interest groups just one time you should vote them out of the office and make sure you vote someone wo will put them into jail for it.

    This is very interesting. I always thought when I am outside of the country only the law of the country I am in is valid. What if laws in US are in contradiction with the country I am in?

    Those will be closed because they undermine the "market forces" anyway.

    Indeed. This is not only valid in France but in all other civilized countries.

    GE is different in the terms that is relatively easy and fast to create a new seed that can contaminate your crops whom have evolved (I know some people don't like the word but here you have it) over thousands of years in the absence of it and could be out competed in a flash and we will loose the biodiversity of crops in the process. Actually some monsanto crops are design to resists herbicides that non GE crops cannot. And when a pathogen comes in and wipes the new seed (grain, potato or corn) and the biodiversity is not there we might have an Irish famine on a global scale. That's how GE seeds are different.

    Not only that! If your field is contaminated with monsanto seeds YOU are committing copyright infringement.

    17th century! Maybe 17th century BC. I don't believe they can be THAT irrational (17th century BC is bad enough though). What about the crusades? Were they fighting on dinosaurs?

    Touche! I thought it was an obvious atheist joke but it scares me that it wasn't immediately perceived as such. It scares me that some people thought I was serious. Anyway I got a good funny rating. :)

    Is that implying evolution? 10,000 years!! I thought Earth is only 7,000 years old. I declare this article a heresy.

    Well, even geothermal and fusion fuel we use in the nuclear reactor is from the sun, but not this one. ;)

  21. Re:How many pro-nukes have 180'd? on Former Anti-Nuclear Activist Does A 180 · · Score: 1

    Maybe just cheap should be no longer the only issue. Yes right now it is cheaper to just burn fossil fuel but how cheap is protecting the environment. We should be aiming for safe and clean even if it will mean paying more. We should also put some real money into the R&D and move away for 1950s nuclear reactor designs. But this is again the money issue. It will definitely pay off on the long run but politicians are elected for 4 years and the government is planning in 90 days cycles. Also the society at large is not ready to take up the costs now to build a better future for they children. Hell they need that money to buy new SUVs.
