  1. But what happens if we stop on New Power Plant Produces Both Energy & Fresh Water · · Score: 1

    the rotation of the core? Won't disaster ensue?

  2. I guess the senate voting it down 99-0 on A Hotter Sun May Be Contributing To Global Warming · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Had nothing to do with Bush's "quick draw" decision? Maybe, just maybe, Global Warming (TM) really does have more to do with solar output than greenhouse emissions. Dogma isn't science, it is superstition supported by conformity. I get the impression some of you guys would rather sweep inconvenient facts under the rug less it undermine your little religious crusade.

  3. Re:Bush is going to use this to ban all cloning on Stem Cells Used to Heal a Broken Heart · · Score: 1

    Way to inject your extreme bias into perfectly neutral argument. I don't recall reading anything about Bush or his "religious right cronies" in the article. Let me guess, this is your something along the lines of your thought process when reading articles: Headline: "Looks like it's going to be rain today", Arvin thinks: "Bush is going to use this as an excuse to attack Iraq!" Hint: you might want to try not to project every little insecurity you have on the evil machinations of Bush or the Republicans. It's not sane bud. End of the World: Minorities and women hardest hit.

  4. posts like this give environmentalists a bad name. on China Wants To Establish Moon Mining · · Score: 2, Funny

    What a mind boggling stupid post. Yeah, like we are going to be able to strip mine the moon down to the point where the tidal effect of the gravity interaction is lessened, somehow DESTROYING EARTH ECOSYSTEMS in the process. Do you have any effing clue how much mass is involved. Never mind, don't bother answering, I already know...you don't know. Science and math were those subjects you were too busy to be bothered with learning.

  5. But don't you understand on Circuit Court Okays Vote Swapping Site · · Score: 1

    Credibility doesn't matter to these people. If they have this vague suspicion and they repeat it to themselves and their fellow travellers enough times, it becomes truth to them.

    "Bush stole the election." - reality is, Gore tried to steal the election. Prior to the actual election, it looked like Bush would win the popular vote but lose the electoral college vote. The democratic pundits reminded us that this was ok...right up until it turned against them.

    "Bush is stupid." - This is my favorite. Right up with ->

    "Bush is evil." - They say these two about every Republican. Reflexively.

    Unless it's someone like Jeffords, who, by all accounts really IS an idiot, but once he crossed the aisle he became "a thoughtful, intelligent maverick".

    First they start out "candidate x is stupid". Then when candidate x wins, it's because he's evil. Phantom police kept minorities from voting. They conspired to make the ballots confusing (oops, ballot was designed by a Democrat...that's how evil the Republicans are! They plant sleepers). He made Congress actually vote on a war resolution before an election, how dare he!

    To Democrats, the only difference between a Republican and a member of the KKK is the choice of clothing. The slightest gaffe by a Republican, and the person will be hounded out of office, but Jesse Jackson can call NYC Himeytown all day long and Lieberman will still be kissing the shakedown artist's pinky at the end of the day. And then there is the little matter of Senator Byrd (D). The only active sitting member of the Senate that really was in the KKK. But lets get real, it's not as if the Democrats were really inclusive about race. How many minority Cabinet level officials did Clinton appoint? Compare to Bush. Oh yeah, I forgot, people like Colln Powell, or Condaleeza Rice, they aren't black, they are oreos, sellouts, uncle toms. Minorities automatically lose their minority status by choosing something other than what their betters think they should choose. No indepedence allowed for the colored folks on the Democratic plantation.

    If you look at the agenda of the left, it ultimately comes down to a will to power and a dissolution of the things that make America America (like the Constitution and it's population). They can't be expected to uphold decent standards of honesty and truth, otherwise they might actually be accountable for their failures, instead of claimg credit for Republican successes.

  7. Genuine Article? on Circuit Court Okays Vote Swapping Site · · Score: 1

    Yep, died in the wool Communist and dictatorial appologist. I'm not sure which is worse, those who have no idea about the people, like Ramsey Clark, they associate, or those that do. The folks this guy has gone to great lengths to defend makes anything that Bush or Clinton did pale in comparison. Hey, but who cares if A.N.S.W.E.R. was formed by a much of Maoists, right? Communism is dead. It's not red anymore, it's GREEN. Lets forget about their support for Milosovich, and Kim Il Jong, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, they are anti-war now, damnit!

  8. Which religion exactly are we talking about? on Circuit Court Okays Vote Swapping Site · · Score: 1

    Jewish (Orthodox or Conservative)? Muslim (Shiite or Sunni)? Christian (Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, Mormom, Baptist)? I must've missed where the government said that Catholocism was the one true faith. And the government isn't endorsing anything, it's saying schools can have children recite the pledge of allegiance. The 9th Circuit said they can't, under any circumstance. If poor Bwani feels a little uncomfortable, or Richard the Atheist wants a little TV exposure because his kid in first grade has to recite a pledge, too bad. Reciting a pledge is not the same thing as separation of Church and State. Last time I checked, the President and Congress were not deemed the ordained ministers of God executing His or Her will on the unwashed masses.

  9. VIVA LA REVOLUCION on Circuit Court Okays Vote Swapping Site · · Score: 1

    I can think of any number of actions to "shake things up a bit". What's so smart about doing something for the sake of just "doing something"?

    Believe me brother, you may not like the present system, but things can get a lot worse. The Irans who thought the Shah's SAVAK was evil incarnate learned another thing when the secret police of the Ayatollah started torturing and executing people on a scale that made the Shah seem like Barney.

    Most attempts to "shake up the system" have faired poorly for just about everyone involved. The only revolution where the revolutionaries didn't consume their own was the American one, and all things being equal, our system works out pretty ok. Besides, you want to shake up the system, we've got 30 million legal immigrants in the US, and upwards of another 10 million illegals, and we're importing another million every year. Trust me, in 50 years, things WILL be shaken up. You just may not like how they settle out.

  10. This is relevant why? on Circuit Court Okays Vote Swapping Site · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The 9th Circuit has the highest appeal overturn rate of any circuit court. We're talking 3/4 of their decisions that get appealed to the Supreme Court get overturned.

    Some of their gems:
    - Declaring the pledge of allegiance unconstitutional because it mentions "under God". Gee, I guess our currency and Constitution are also unconstitutional then as well.

    - Deciding that the 2nd Ammendment didn't apply to individuals, despite the fact that every other Ammendment in the Bill of Rights does, and despite the prepondence of jurisprudence from other court decisions that say it does as well.

    Just about any wacko, leftist cause coming out of San Fransisco gets venerated by these guys.

    Is it any wonder that they approved vote swapping?

    My guess is, they'd probably allow illegal aliens to vote as well. I guess the Democrats are still pissed about not being able to bus in enough homeless people with bribes of $10 and a carton of cigarettes to win the Congressional elections.
