  1. Re:HOLY SHIT! on Global Bacon Shortage 'Unavoidable' · · Score: 2

    the doctor told him "Bacon should come with a skull and crossbones on the label..."

    Then his doctor is a retarded monkey.

    Too much water will kill you, too much oxygen will kill you, too much sugar will kill you.

    Anyone with more than half a brain knows that TOO MUCH (of anything) is enough to kill you.

    Or perhaps the good doctor somehow believes that for millions of years the ancestors of mankind ate only fish and lean white meat?

    How can you not love this guy?

    He's great at publicity. Let's talk Mars when he's got people doing regular low-orbit flights.

    That's a completely retarded attitude.

    These are LONG TERM development projects, think like 10 maybe 20 years before liftoff.

    Waiting for the current coolness to be live and in production before starting development of the next one leads to lack of momentum and failure to kickstart the next project.

    Really, what was the point of bothering with the resolution-independent screen positioning in their API's in the first place if they were just going to go and produce a completely different screen size that the programmer is going to have to write extra code to account for anyways?

    The problem is not that people read the Koran. The problem is that people read the Koran, take it seriously, and then decide to live their lives violently enforcing its bigoted dogma.

    As if that's bad enough, in reality what's actually going on is people who

    decide to live their lives violently enforcing a selection of its bigoted dogma

    And here's a clue, it's not just The Muslims who excel at picking a favourite selection to enforce and ignoring the vast majority of their Holy Book (yes Christians, I'm thinking of you in particular here).

    We desperately need to squash the idea that anybody who disagrees with you is an idiot who needs to be shouted down.

    And the first example that comes to mind is The Grate Climate Something Debacle. And the second thing is (un)Intelligent Design.

    Sometimes allowing The Opposing Party to entertain the concept that there's any possibility of them being even remotely rational let alone actually correct in the matter does nothing more than add fuel to an already burning inferno.

    I'm sorry that you feel so desperate to appear "politically correct" and all that but SOME ARGUMENTS ARE ABSOLUTELY AND FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG.

    Conservative MPs have a long record of perverted activities! - Perhaps we need to ban conservative MPs!

    MP or otherwise, you will find that (more often than not) a "conservative" is just a "pervert" (by the standards of at least one society-or-religion) who hasn't been caught yet.
