Map makers have messed up the world for years. Most maps distort the actual size of the continents.
All anyone would have to remember is the old "Asia, AFRICA, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, Australia.
Africa ranks behind Asia for a reason...but years of kids looking at maps, they most of the time show North America larger
than Africa. that photo you posted, puts it in realistic perspective.
I would have loved to have one of her nanoseconds she use to hand out when asked how long was a nanosecond.
I remember when she was on the tonight show with Johnny Carson and told that story. She use to keep a bag
full of them with her all the time and would hand them out, when someone would ask how long is a nanosecond.
One smart lady!
You won't change most of their minds....they've had over 20 years of indoctrination in government schools, colleges & universities,
not to mention the bias in the media.
I volunteered as a 911 operator, for a sheriff's department (county population around 400,000) for over a dozen years.
When cell phones started to take off in the 90's, it was quite COMMON to know that something was going on when the
phones lit up pretty much at the same time. Also, with the stupidity of the average U.S. citizen, they would call for
some of the dumbest things, that were never an emergency. I remember once, I already had fire & ambulance ON SCENE
of a 2 car injury crash on an interstate highway. In other words WE WERE ALREADY THERE, and the phone rang and
some idiot called to tell us about the wreck we had ALREADY arrived on, 10-20 minutes earlier.
Now, give everyone the ability to text to 911, and they will have to send the bulk of dispatchers to school, to learn how to
type "in text talk". With young adults & kids speaking "in text" most dispatchers will have to be trained again LOL.
I wouldn't be too worried about Zuck....I'm sure his "gift" was also a nice tax write off.
Again, this just goes to show you that if you want to IMPROVE education, throwing
more MONEY at it, will not work!
can it, it should be DOES IT.
Pretty much any media source can have influence, it all depends on the "sheeple" be they on the left or the right.
If a person is not an independent thinker, then yes, media can have influence.
I consider myself a constitutional conservative, but, I also think for myself and don't do something just because
"everyone else does".
Never really have, his politics is way to left for me, but, NET NEUTRALITY must be upheld or
the web will end up censored like everything else in the world.
Grow up you teenage to college age idiots. Just because you are out of high school, or college,
TRUST ME, you do not know everything. You only know what your moron teachers have indoctrinated
your minds with. You have no real world experience in anything. You believe fracking is bad, because
they have told you so, and that you are still under the myth that man can destroy the planet with fossil
fuels "greenhouse" gas called Co2 all the while not realizing that if we get rid of Co2, green plants die and
so will we because of a lack of oxygen.
So, go back to playing your Xbox and leave the running of things to the adults will ya?
Ok, the "bottle" can be eaten...but is the "bottle" placed in a sealed box or other container?
Or, before use, do you have to sterilize it before use?
Plus, not that it is healthy to reuse a water bottle, I see a lot of them being refilled around
colleges, businesses, parks etc...
I just wish all the enviro-wackos would crawl back into the caves that they
came out of. It's obvious that back in the cave man days, that not only did
the strong survive, some of the weak minded ldiots did too!
So, ma & pa down on the farm, are suppose to pay for overprice 4G service?
Might as well give up trying to watch netflix, amazon or do anything useful!
I did 911 dispatching, off & on for 20 years. You know how many "anonymous" calls we received from payphones
(back in the day) about someone having drugs in a car, house, or their person?
Officers might keep an eye, but unless there was ANOTHER reason to stop and search, there wasn't anything
LEGALLY they could do, as it should be!
I went to college in the late 70's. Heck, the grocery stores in that town couldn't keep
cup-a-soup, Ramen noodles, ketchup, hot dogs, bread in stock when we were there.
It's about priorities! Some kids today have the ever increasing "entitled" mentality that everything
should be given them. Hipster types that want everything NOW instead of working for it.
Quit going to trendy clubs, buying the latest fashions and prioritize your damn lives! Easier to
figure it out now, than when you are in your 40's!
You think the multiBillion dollar a year prosthetic field, along with the doctors that perform the operations will
"allow" people to use their own computers, printers etc to have DIY hands, limbs etc to flood the market?
Hey, if someone wants to do this, more power to them...but you know there have to be lobbyist flooding DC
with their billions, stuffing corrupt politicians to put a halt to this "dangerous" idea of 3-D printing.
and the government has UNLIMITED taxpayer resources, power of the courts (if they even bother) to take anything.
Under the "old outdated and needs to be redone" Constitution, innocent until proven guilty, the ability to face those
accusing you of anything, are being unconstitutionally done away with. And how is this possible? Just watch any
"man on the street" interview where people mostly below the age of 45 can't tell you who their representative, vice president,
ANY member of the supreme court, how a bill becomes law, the number of amendments called the bill of rights there is and
so on and so on.
Our (lack of) REAL education in this country, coupled with the sports/celebrity culture that puts that as the #1 topic around
the water cooler, and you will see how easy it is to distract the "HEY LOOK! SQUIRREL!!!"
ldiots in this country!
It's called A HANDICAP!
Why would you NOT want to hear or see?
Has anyone NOT seen some of the videos, of people who have never heard, when they switch on their implant,
and they hear for the first time?
What a bunch of wacked out people who would rather be HANDICAPPED. Oh wait, I'm sorry, "sound impaired".
If the internet destroyed your faith, then I would assume your faith wasn't very strong to
begin with! I've been on the net since the early 90's. I read many many articles & sites
that are not Christian based, but has this caused me to be less of a Christian, or have I
lost my faith? Not in the least!
Oh no! We're all gonna die if we eat BBQ'd meat.
As with anything like this, the worry warts will probably buy into it.
Remember when they said: Saccharin, DDT, and the zillion of other things that are suppose to be bad for you?
Heck, there was even a guy who ate DDT, didn't bother him, but now we have Malaria running wild all over the place.

They pay a fee to be a member, but then think it is ok to NOT pay the transit fare?

I remember when the AMD K6 came out. "AMD is preparing to give Intel's pentium a run for its money with the new K6".
EXACTLY! The "cloud" could disappear one day, or they could hold your data hostage for whatever reason. My data, my servers...PERIOD!

Don't you mean...."A new hope"? ;)
The poor families of those that were on this airplane. If it wasn't for that aspect, the media "coverage" of this would be a huge joke.

They can't! Didn't you ever watch the 70's sci-fi show "Space 1999"? ;)

is good for, is if I want to take a nap on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Put it on the television, and within a 1/2 hour, I'm asleep. :)
