It was satire. Both sides, whigs and torries have been polarized since the 1790s. And you, posting your diatribe above made the point more clear.
There were whole wars fought over this polarization, and certainly in the past more fist-fights, duels and other forms of fighting than today's potty mouth pricks running for office can think of.
AP, Reuters, BBC are hardly independent organizations. All three have decidedly one-sided editorializing that leaks through to the articles it publishes.
how about the one where that one side convinces it's followers that it's less corrupt than the other side, and (perhaps) takes LESS money from special interests, even though the full disclosure sites show they actually took at least as much, if not more money?
What bugs me about this election, more than any other, is that the sides are polarizing. As a student of history, this is setting off alarm bells.
Republicans and Democratics: Zelotry will get you in trouble.
the pyramids of egypt, surely they know what those are, maybe show them a city on the opposite side of the world, and then zoom in to see people walking around, then show them their school, then ask/explain where the data comes from, how it gets here etc to link the job to the function
actually, not a bad idea, get permission first and do it outdoors, we did this with a pop bottle (plastic one) in middle school about 25 years ago... The teacher laid the pop bottle on a ramp at 45 degrees and lit the nozzle with an aim-n-flame like device.
demonstrate electrolosys, feed the H2 from one side into the bottle and the O into another (fill the bottles with water and let the bubbling H2 and O replace their volume of water)
as a fife and drum guy I can tell you that the people who are often most impressed are the deaf ones. The drums, up close and personal at a demonstration in a school or out in a living history event, penetrate the chest and head quite effectively, and even people without any hearing at all can feel the open rudimental drumming just fine. They also make fine drummers, good tactile response mechanisms and all that.
bingo. While I was posting for lols the point was serious enough. Feed it back into bio reactors and use the resuling bloom to fuel our vehicles ( or more power plants) the algae uses the sun to convert the stuff back into something useful.
wouldn't you love to have an algae stack in your yard for processing any old crud into fuel?
screw college all together, if you have enough of the right stuff to start a successful business that early in life, then just keep at it and coast on the residual income
They were going to get Madagascar. Not kidding. But Hitler found zyklon B and it was cheaper to massacre them than ship them out./the world according to "Schindler's List"
jees, really, they _are_ everywhere. Must have gotten yourself a leftist, progressive, obama worshipping hick for a mod. (now _that's_ flamebait)
Just take a look at every nation on the planet, and their respective muslim populations. Sort them by %. Compare as they cross a certain % of the population and the wack jobs are a large enough force that the non wack jobs can't compete. Get to the other extreme and the wack jobs who float to power get enough power to keep the minor wack jobs in check.
That's not something that can be modded away.
And the first time a "decency police" comes to my door for having coffee with a female colleage, I'll blow their head off. (suffice it to say, I'll never visit Saudi Arabia)
Yeah because the USofA is JUST LIKE IRAN! Our government, by policy and with stunning regularity burns churches with people in them, executes people for being Jews or for sleeping around or liking people of the same sex. We also execute/jail people who speak out against the regime. All those newspapers are closed and goodness, ever look sideways at a politician?!? Right into prison.
So much like IRAN that you can 's/Iran/America/g' at every social, legal, military or historical comparrison
and you are advocating touchy feely notions of a society that just doesn't exist, it's not about value to society so much as it's about who would miss them. Utlimately we're all just dust in the wind, but when we go back to dust is important.
it's not a question of what they deserve, we get what we get because random chance, the rough hand of nature and our own choices cause us the problems we experience, it's not a question of deserve or justice or anything like that
That guy at Tim Horton's (who would have had a great donut 10 years ago, but today, not so much) can choose to better himself.
porn is no where near perfected, there's all sorts of other interfaces left to explore, new media to exploit and new customers to tap, and there's always new holes to , ah nevermind
anyway, remote sensing tactile porn, it's not perfected except within about 3 feet
so what? Seriously? What difference does it make if you, as an old person, live or die IF the paultry sum provided by social security is the difference between life and death?
You're not contributing actively to society anymore, at least based on your income/expense ratios. You don't have family to take you in, apparently so who loses there if your corps winds up in the gutter?
I say artificially prolonging life through the use of too-expensive care methods is a waste of money.
And I find that sort of talk bullshit anway, there's ALWAYS a way to engineer a way out of such a system, no matter how poor a group of people become. There could be large dormatories where the old poor could gather. There could be work farms where the old poor could grow their own food and shelter themselves in clean air (away from the pollution they caused in their youths). There could be church organizations, large social clubs and that's not mentioning the family's responsibility towards you.
Getting to that, your family holds responsibility by virtue of being related. If you live your whole life with no family and just at the end find yourself in a situation where it's a few bucks a month from Uncle Sucker on the 1st or death?
Just because you are older does not mean you know how to spend OUR hard earned cash better than we, nor do you gain the right to steal it from us by force of executive will via legislation.
Fingernail slice my ass, it's every bit the largest chunk taken out of my check every week and I should decide where that money goes, not you.
It's not the government's job to make sure you have a crappy and piss poor retirement.
not everything the pope does and says is infallable. The church doesn't teach that, never has. It wasn't even a concept on paper until 1870 and even then used to define basic Catholic dogma. i.e. not used to declare Monday roman pizza day throughout the Roman Catholic Society.
That's papal decree, and those are used pretty freely. For pizza.
no need for heavy lenses, plastic works just fine, google for plastic fresnel lens and you'll find plenty, a 8x11 lens for old folks would work fine on a roof top, and you can have those for pennies a page

right, that's right, vote for the guy who promises change but is backed by the guys who've held things in status quo for 80 years.
there will be no landslide

Back then they could settle this like gentlemen...

hey, all it takes is one lawsuit to solve that little problem
\ where smy mode pointswhen I NEED them\
and then there's the inevitable flex in the cable and a fascinating sine curve shaped oscillation that results
you could even influence this modulation in teh cable enough to dodge a small moon being fired out of orbit by cranky revolutionaries

yeah, why the heck don't they convert the CO2 into something usable, like C and O2?
Maybe build another generating plant next door that supplies the energy required to break the molocules...

nonesense, I have family and cash to back it up, and won't go bankrupt paying for the doctor visit, and won't have my children starve.
If I was "Retired" and old, and family-less, and had to choose between food and medicine, I wouldn't steal the money from you to pay for either.
