  1. That outta tick off: on US Interceptor Missile Successfully Intercepts Test ICBM, Says Pentagon (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Russia, China, North Korea, Iran et al. Hitting a missile with a missile... USA USA USA USA

  2. I usually have 3-4 days of unused vacation time. I'm single, have no kids, don't like to travel. Homebody. Other than photography that gets me out, that's about it.

  3. incorrect That way, when I put it in wrong, the box pops up and says Your password is INCORRECT

  4. 8/10 people are MORONS! The globalist have hoodwinked you into believing that YOU must change your lifestyle, or the planet will suffer. Ever notice how these so called "leaders of the world", hollywood morons and leftist uber rich are the ones telling everyone they need to change THEIR livestyle, but, they continue to live in mega mansions, jet set all over the world, have 3-4 houses, 5-6 automobiles? Have you ever stopped to ask WHY they are allowed to "continue on" but everyone else should suffer? Man has very little impact on the climate of this globe. Look up the sunspot cycle and you'll have your answer, if, you are willing to be open minded and believe it!

  5. nothing is "safe" on Study Finds Magic Mushrooms Are the Safest Recreational Drug (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    When you are intoxicated, be it booze or drugs, you can easily lose control and end up doing things you normally wouldn't do. Like: Drive an automobile, have unprotected sex, do crazy things that will follow you the rest of your life. (Employers check youtube/facebook).

  6. Go back to PAPER ballots! on DEFCON Conference To Target Voting Machines (politico.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I NEVER cared for ANY electronic voting machines. It is way too easy to change electronics. All these hack attempts do is give whomever is the opposition in DC, a 30 second sound bite on TV, as to why they lost an election. To remove that, go back to paper ballots. To add to that, after you vote, you should dip your finger in that non removable ink also.

    Well, that's what you get, when you have a war.

    If humans would use COMMON SENSE, restrictions, licenses wouldn't be an issue. Been in the R/C group for decades. I don't take my stuff anywhere near an airport, people, homes or buildings. About the only trouble I could get into is crashing into a tree, or a bird that thinks something I fly is a threat.

  9. Looks like it could be ok, but, if CBS thinks I'm going to shell out MONEY...forget it!

  10. No shortage here! on Where Have All the Insects Gone? (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Every time I drive my Mustang on the interstate highways, I think 2/3 of the states insect population ends up on the front & windshield of my car.

  11. The growth in automobiles on Ford To Cut North America, Asia Salaried Workers By 10 Percent (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Was due to the fact Obama had that stupid "cash for clunkers" program. People traded in cars that were destroyed, eliminating the used (sorry pre-owned) car market. In a few years, people traded in cars, boosting the used car market, and propping up the new car market. Now, people are starting to hang onto their cars for 6,7 years or more. Plus, the NEW cars, even the so called "cheap" ones, are in the 20,000 dollar range! My dad was a car salesman for over 30 years. In the sixties, you could by a BRAND NEW Truck for 2,000 dollars, a "hot rod" for less than 4,000 dollars. Now, a "pick up truck" will run a minimum of around 30,000 (full size). Vehicles are overpriced, thanks in part to the greedy corporations, unions, and government regulations.

  12. Hey professor, ask for a refund on All Fossil-Fuel Vehicles Will Vanish In 8 Years, Says Stanford Study (financialpost.com) · · Score: 1

    On that degree you got from Stanford! If you really think, the global vehicle world, will switch to battery/electric/rubber band powered vehicles in EIGHT YEARS, you are not only crazy, but should be locked up in a mental ward. The petroleum industry will not "collapse". For one thing, even if "fossil fuel" vehicles disappeared, where would you get plastics, pharmaceuticals (medicine)? Yep, a lot of life saving medicine, comes from the petro-chemical industry! Love these egghead "theorist" that have never held a job, outside the academic world. Book smart, common sense STUPID!

  13. man made climate change is a hoax on Many Nations Pin Climate Hopes On China, India As Hopes For Trump Fade (reuters.com) · · Score: -1

    It's nothing more than a way to get wealthy nations to pony up money to poor nations. It's a way of reducing productivity, decreasing the standard of living for EVERYONE. You want to look at REAL climate change? Look up during the day, into the sky. See that bright shiny object in the sky? It's called THE SUN, or, a star. THAT is what affects our weather. They have these things called sunspots. A disruption of the magnetic bubble on the surface of the sun. These spots, can emit coronal mass ejections. Think of it as a giant burp, or fart. These particles travel and can impact the magnetic bubble of our planet. (Causes that greenish glow in the upper part of the atmosphere called Aurora). When the magnetic field around our planet is disturbed, this can change weather patterns. Go look up the sunspot activity for the past couple hundred years. Important ones to take note of are the Dalton Minimum, the Modern Maximum. You will see a direct parallel between sunspots, or, the lack of, and the global temperatures. The period of the 90's to the early 2010's was when all of the hysteria about man made global warming kicke into gear. Since people are not smart enough to think beyond their own age, whatever is happening NOW is their reference point. We saw ice melting, temperatures heating up, and, the "stop progress at any cost" types that think the worst thing that ever happened to this planet, was MAN, jumped on the bandwagon and started preaching to the children it was mans fault. Your mommy and daddy's SUV, BBQ's in the back yard, burning coal, Co2 emissions ,etc were causing the poor polar bears to die. Now, these 20-30 somethings think man is causing "climate change" because it's been shoved into their heads like some sort of religion. One good burp from a volcano screws up the global weather, more than anything man could do, short of an all out nuclear war. Co2 in fact, is beneficial to plants & humans. Plants take in Co2, and give out O2, oxygen, which humans, among other carbon based lifeforms, need to survive.

  14. It will cost close to, if not over $1,000.00 for the good one. Phones are crazy expensive, for something a lot of fools toss down money for, every year, or 2-3 years.

  15. Mental issue on Chelsea Manning Set To Be Released From Prison, 28 Years Early (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Thinking getting a chop-a-dic-off-of-me, or an add-a-dic-to-me can change your gender is about as smart as thinking you can change lead into gold. It's a MENTAL disorder. Unless you figure a way to change your DNA from XX=female, to XY=Male just because you may or may not have a penis doesn't mean you can change it to the other. The rare case of XXY would be about the only exception. Until the late 70's, the DSM book considered gender disorder as such, a psychological disorder. But, with the age of political correctness, whatever these snowflakes want, they get.

  16. phase out cash, BAD idea on China Is On Track To Fully Phase Out Cash (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Hard currency gives a person SOME freedom over goods and services they purchase. Make all transactions digital, no matter what, and the banks and governments can control what you buy, how much of it or denies it. Once it goes digital, the government can change a stupid law, tying anything to "healthcare". Sorry Bob...you last health check shows you to be 25 pounds over what WE SAY you should weigh...you can't buy that burger and fries, but we will let you buy a tofu salad and a glass of water (at double the price). Sorry Jill...according to our records, you have 2 accidents within the past year, both in SUV's, plus, you are spending way too much on fuel. You can't buy this new SUV, but, we have authorized purchase of a bicycle, and, your loan has been approved, but not for that house in the country. We think it would be best, if you have a smaller cramped apartment, near your job, so you can bicycle to work. This will also cut your carbon footprint, and help you exercise. Laugh now, but don't say it won't happen.

  17. Germany land area: 348,900.0 sq. miles United States land area: 9,147,420.0 sq. miles Over 26 times the land area. In other words, it's easier to get the power from the source to the people in Germany, than it would be in the USA. It's the same argument, people complain about, when talking about internet speed. "Japan & South Korea" have x times the speed and x cheaper price of internet, than in the USA. Japan land area: 364,560.0 sq miles South Korea land area: 97,480.0 It's easier in smaller countries to build out, than the USA. Ok, so the liberal logic would say, move all the people to large urban population centers, and make living out in the middle of the nation illegal. Yeah, that would be the way their liberal minds would work. After all, it's "for your own good". You want renewable power, fine, but leave coal, gas & nuclear alone.

  18. The longer they go on with this, the longer the left looks like the FOOLS they are.

  19. NASA, lost its way, when they scrapped Apollo, and went with the stupid space shuttle. IT NEVER WENT ANYWHERE, except to orbit Earth. If you want to EXPLORE, you need to leave our planet, and go elsewhere.

    I was doing a ride-a-long with a local police chief in my hometown. We were driving around "the hang out spot" looking for kids firing off fireworks, which were illegal in the city, and called "littering". Saw this kid, teenager, firing off a bottle rocket. Had the headlights off, rolled right up next to him. Chief lowered the window, looked at the surprised kid, said..."I could write you a ticket for littering". Kid NEVER missed a beat. said.."how do you know it landed?". Chief looked at me, raised the window and we drove off, he said "well, can't argue with logic like that".
