    Malouf should be in prison for a number of reasons including armed robbery and battery.

    Should be going into another ice age? By what standard? For what good? How long do you think civilization lasts when the entire globe looks like today's Antarctica?

    Florida is eliminated, easing political issues from there, but at the same time frees up billions in social security liabilities and 401K assets.

    Unlike social security, 401K assets are invested by the institutions holding the money, so it isn't being "freed up" to anyone but the leeching inheritors. From your attitude, I gather you are a prospective member of that group.

    Name brand products at WalMart are the same as elsewhere, and they usually cost less. They aren't going to fail sooner, WalMart doesn't process their goods through a hex machine so that they disintegrate rapidly.

  6. Insurance companies on Most Doctors Don't Think Patients Need Full Access To Med Records · · Score: 1

    The patient can't see the records, but the doctor has no qualms about showing an insurance company everything, every false diagnosis, every suspicion, every disease you've ever had, every medicine you've ever been prescribed. Insurance companies will then use this (mis)information to deny coverage, increase rates, or refuse payment after-the-fact.

    Automated photoprocessing equipment produces near perfect results as far as dust, fingerprints, and scratches are concerned. Furthermore, the dyes used to retouch photographs fade very badly even in darkness, so their use is very bad practice. There is something quite peculiar about your post.

    It was a political loan, and the premature announcement of payback is political payback.

    As the US share of the world economy is shrinking, we do not have to be the perfect capitalist example anymore.

    Not that we ever were, but you have just neatly reversed cause and effect.

    Worldwide crude oil production is 31 billion barrels per year. Afghanistan's 3.8 billion barrels would supply the world for less than 1.5 months, and then it would be gone. BFD.

    Government steals $1e12 from venture capitalists, so they have no money to lend to startups.
    Government gives hoards of money to worthless businesses, and by chance $5e8 to a business that appears to be succeeding, while draining off a large portion of the stolen money into government employee wages.

    Toyota, Honda, et. al. have successful manufacturing plants in the US. The key is the elimination of featherbedding, corrupt, menacing, overpaid unions (i.e. Obama's friends, at least until he can find a way to stab them in the back, too.)

    The salt on your skin that a dog licks is salt that has already been excreted as a part of sweat, the water portion of which has evaporated.

    The hazards of low salt are immediate and deadly

    First of all, that's not true, it takes time to wash the existing salt out of your body.
    Second, you've missed the entire point of the article, which is about chronic high salt consumption, not emergency events.

    A quick internet search suggests that sea salt is about 4% potassium chloride (that's good) and likely to contain other impurities (both good and bad.)

    If there were no such thing as free will, it would be logically inconsistent to insist on punishment for any behavior, no matter how heinous. Argumentum ad baculum is valid in this instance. Or, to state it a third way, if there is no free will, you cannot have any objection if I punch you in the face.

    Why is it so hard for people to understand? The ten commandments are basically summed up as "Love other people as if you would want to be loved and love god." It is bloody simple. Another way to look at it would be "Be grateful for what you have, be responsible and don't be a dick.".

    Would you like to explain how that agrees with "don't make statues" (2nd commandment) and "don't work on Sunday, and prevent everybody else from working then, also" (4th commandment)?
