  1. Re:No problem, long as they charge at night on Electric Cars Won't Strain the Power Grid · · Score: 1

    The problem we have is that much of the US population lives in the suburbs or rural areas-- and we're always being heavily taxed and regulated to subsidize the utopian urban planning of the progressives.

    Toilets did and still do need to be flushed multiple times to work, wasting more water than a properly designed toilet that uses a properly engineered (rather than bureaucratically or legislatively selected) low-consumption design. Progressivism is a failure wherever it is tried.

    The load of one plug-in recharging (about 2 kilowatts) is roughly the same as that of four or five plasma television sets.

    Five plasma TVs? Time to put a stiff tax on electric cars; look at all the carbon they're adding to the atmosphere!

    Right-wing Republican? ... just erase Obama from your world.

    That seems to pretty much be the opposite of what a conservative or a libertarian wants. After all, they observe the realities of the world and deal with them while the progressives like to implement their own idealistic policies, regardless of the consequences.

    I sense much anger in you. Really, the people in Washington are much worse than the fatties (especially the ones that are also the fatties). BTW, I know you just woke up from a 5 year old nap, but gas prices and the recession have pretty much killed the big SUV.

    That's some REALLY hardcore porn. I'd be against that, too. At least, it deserves its own .xxxxxx TLD. IANA will have to get right on that.

    Let me start by getting Slashdot banned. The Qur'an is flawed because we have proof that it has been corrupted. After all, Mohammed's wife Aisha claimed, "During the time of the Prophet, the chapter of the Parties used to be two hundred verses when read. When 'Uthman edited the copies of the Quran, only the current (verses) were recorded." But then, she's a woman and her testimony only counts as half a man's (Sura 2:282, Bukhari Vol. 3, Book 48).

    You should tell this to the progressives who have been controlling the US economy for 90 years. Fiat currency was created by the Federal Reserve. It used to be based on real assets, namely gold. It could be based on any durable thing with intrinsic value, but it's really based on nothing but promises.

    I'm aware some people may omit such a point out of an excessively overdeveloped sense of wanting to follow "political correctness" or whatever, but I didn't - for me, it simply wasn't a detail that entered my mind when describing him.

    This seems meaningless to me, as noting someone's skin color is about as racist as noting someone's hair color-- unless you are paranoid about "ginger kids".

    A bunch of people stand still on an oddly shaped field for hours. Once in a while someone throws a small ball at someone else and a few others run around the field, then everyone stands still again.
