  1. Good way to start a revolt! on Japan Striving For Energy Efficiency · · Score: 1

    Energy is as just as important as food and water. No matter how much you tax it, the increased cost of running industry will be passed on to the consumer. Also, every citizen still needs to drive to work. Increasing taxes will only piss people off with a perportional increase in crime.

    Want to start a riot in America. Go ahead, go fuck with peoples life blood to maintain the current standard of living.

  3. Do NOT clone that cave man!!! on Ancient Cave Bear DNA Extracted and Decoded · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If cave men start getting cloned and then raised to be (somewhat) productive members of society, I fear the gene pool of the human race would be set back should he/she deside to have children. Evolution decided those genes are not worthy, why inject obsolete DNA into our race?

    WTF are you talking about? Ryan Geiss no longer has total control of the program when he started working with AOL (Winamp devision). So now that it's AOLs property, they can do what the hell they want with it. Personally however, I will donate some money to Ryan to pay my respects.

  8. Re:Wow, they did something right! on New .XXX Top Level Domain · · Score: 1

    I have to agree with the AC post. As an employee of Time Warner, I can for a fact state a good deal of our cable on-demand revenue comes from porn. Thus, it's a good assumption that people with internet access also browse adult websites as well.

    As a company, we could care less what your internet habits are as long as it's legal. We are not in a business to enforce morality. We leave that up to you and children's parents.

  15. Re:A big DUH on pragmatism ... on Funding Promised for Trips to Moon, Mars · · Score: 1

    The most pragmatic thing would have been to KEEP the sanctions going and keep Saddam in his box. Less Americans would have died (1500 and counting) and less IRAQIS would have died (100,000) and counting.


    Your an idiot. Do you not know of the UN oil-for-food program and how it lined the pockets of Saddam and his two thugs he called sons? For christ sake, he was a malevolent dictator that only cares about himself. In fact, that nutcase thinks he's the reincarnation of King Nebuchadnezzar II. But don't let the 200 mass graves get in the way of your rational thinking.


    Fact is, you MUST use military action in these situation were diplomacy fails. Paper pushing doesn't do jack shit to save lives in the long run against people like Saddam. And you can bet your ass that we WILL take care of N. Korea in a military fashion simply because the world knows of NKs track record of breaking treaties and diplomacy (and continue to do so). Last thing western civilization needs is for NK to be selling nukes on the black market to a bunch Islamic militants.


    The REAL motives of the Iraq war was to acquire the Iraqi oil resources (it was the ONLY asset protected after the invasion), and to create permanent bases with which to frighten and intimidate Iraq's Arab neighbors.


    Oil is a natural resource around the world and it's also the life blood for America and western civilization. So yes, ousting Saddam and setting into motion a democratic framework was indeed the goal for national and economic security. As for the bases; they are there to compleate an objective. We will not remove those bases until we purge Islamic militants (terrorists) from that region.


    You seem to think this little Iraq excursion is protecting Americans. I think you've been watching too much Fox News.


    Have I got a tinfoil hat to sell you for $19.95. Act now however, and I will give you not 1, not 2...but 3 tinfoil hats! Wear one yourself and share the others for your family and friends. It's a great bargin, so act now today!!!


    There is NOTHING about the occupation of Iraq that will deter terrorist action. To the contrary. The Iraq invasion is only heightening anti-American sentiment in the Arab world. We have effectively EMPOWERED Osama Bin Laden by assuming the role of arch villian that he FALSELY painted the US as.


    Good, I'm glad! Let those that are and would be Islamic zealots rise to the surface from the Arab population. There are only so many Arabs that can imbue such irrational hatred against us. Rather then letting a wound fester, it's best to pull the poison to the surface and eliminate it while we are able too now.


    The Bush administration is systematically undermining pro-American, pro-Democracy dissdidents in the Arab world. Iran was a country on the verge of liberal Democratic transformation from within UNTIL we invaded Iraq.


    Because of the Bush administration, we are seeing democracy take root all around the world. Just hear of the democratic crys from Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Ukraine and yes...still Iran. It was because of Bush and his democratic support that emboldened these people to step out in the open to voice their desire for democracy and freedom.


    The prople with you liberals is that you're all cowards. And because of such, you would rather appease the enemy then fight for what is right and pure in this world. Pefect examples are the war on terror today and Vietnam. Once you start or engage in warfare, you NEVER pull out. Doing so only emboldens your enemy with confidence. Now that North Korea really thinks it can win a war with America today (because of Vietnam), I fear that our only option against them is to drop a few nuclear bombs on them and wipe out the major cities. So congrats to liberalism for making things worse.


    Remember this. You can NEVER have peace without victory. However, you can have oppression and tyranny through appeasement (and often do). Freedom has it's price and that price is a tax on life on a few for the greater quality of life for everyone else. And I personally, would gladly give up my right to life in the pursuit of freedom for myself and neighbors.
