If spies/criminals/terrorists/politicians are stupid enough to use plain language over the phone to plan their dastardly deeds, then they deserve to be put into prison.
Indeed. And remember, Mary had a little lamb, the cow jumped over the moon, but most of all, I did it my way.
I assume you mean Gagarin as in "Yuri" - first cosmonaut. Your point is....?
Of course, if Heinlein is to be believed, then it is more like the first cosmonaut to get back alive. Considering all the Soviets who got killed in their space program, his story is not implausible.

The difference is that Glenn Beck did not accuse anyone of a felony with no evidence what-so-ever to back it up. Glenn Beck at least presents his claims with some factual evidence to back up his positions. This "satire" was borderline slander.
So, when Beck asked keith Ellison if he was a terrorist, that was not slander??? You see, that's how Beck works, and what the site parodies. He doesn't directly accuse anyone, but asks assinine questions like this.
The only refutations of what Glenn Beck says are personal insults against him and his viewers. I have never seen anyone refute what Glenn Beck is actually saying.
The problem is that a lot of his ravings can't be argued against since they are just bizarre conspiracy theories where he draws lines between things. They are the sort of conspiracy theories that would make Alex Jones and David Icke blush.
Olbermann has a sort of analysis of Beck here, though he mostly just let Beck's insanity speak for itself. I thought it interesting, though, that Glenn Beck has a communist paperweight.
Wait a minute.. food isn't a right, but bloody health care is? Are you high? If your logic is that health care is a right because you'll die without it then exactly why isn't food a right? Or a house?
If food supply was controlled by small group of companies who each got together to charge prices such as $10 for an orange, and excluded some people from being able to even enter one of their grocery stores, yes there would be legal reform with respect to food. We don't have that situation with respect to food, but a similar situation does exist with health care.
But keep it up, your distortion of the truth is right out of the communist manifesto.
Oh yeah! That sounds like something HITLER would say!
And, in case your feeble mind does not grasp the sarcasm, calling something progressive that you disagree with "Communist" simply shows that you have shut down all rational thought.
The other day I watched this documentary "Race and Intelligence" in which they asked the same question (and also why certain Asian Americans score higher than European Americans)
The key here is Asian-Americans, not Asians. You see, for a long time, the US largely brought over Asians who excelled and didn't allow just anyone from Asia to immigrate to the US. That's one reason why it is a little skewed. The other reason does have something to do with Asian-American culture. Most Asian parents in America do instill a culture of hard work and learning in their kids. But, if you actually go to Asia, you'll find that they are not any more or less intelligent that Caucasians.
There is a very compelling theory that Autism is a Neanderthal genetic marker coming up in HSS, due to Hybridization.
Read the articles in the link, they are.. VERY interesting, especially if you are or know someone who is Autistic.
So, Neanderthals are responsible for autism! Let's go out and kill those sons-of-bitches!
Personally, I'm surprised he wasn't guillotined for his role in The Count of Monte Cristo. I believe butchering that fine piece of literature should be considered treason against the French Republic.
So then, Bush sucked ass as a president because he was too busy designing rockets? That must be why he ignored Katrina for as long as he did. He was immersed in a stability calculation.
What sect of Islam is that that's against music? If this keeps up... only regulated music can be played... then I'll start wondering if the execs in the music mafia are closet muslims from this anti-music sect executing a long term strategy to deny the whole human race access to music.
IIRC, it's the Wahibi style of Islam. So, if you're with the PRS/RIAA/MPAA/FNC, you're with the terrorists!
In my country there's no student loan, we beleive that a free education is part of equality of chances, so nobody has to pay for getting graduated. If you can't afford a place to live, then the gov. provides it for free as weel a small student room on the campus, plus some money each month so you can eat. Yes, I'm French... And proud that we have this system!
But you don't understand! We have to make fun of the French. After all, you people 1. Don't work yourselves to death 2. Don't die because you have a private insurance company that decides to screw you over when you actually get sick 3. Get guaranteed vacation every year
You see, to be real man, and not some weakling Frenchman, you have to be willing to work yourself into a heart attack by age fifty, do without vacations, and die young of some illness while fighting with your insurance company to get them to actually cover you according to your policy. That's the real Godly American way, you stinking Godless Communist!
Well, I guess at a particular time slice that is true. Unfortunately, the main reason they are moving away from the US is that there are fewer jobs on the whole. So, while a higher percentage may now be available for Americans, there are fewer jobs than before. Thus far, I've had a couple of friends move back to China and one move to Singapore (he's Indonesian) for jobs. The reason: they can't find a job in the US anymore.
So, while I would like to share in your optimism, I'm afraid the future is not so bright for us.

Well, at least it's better than the company that uses exact matches, called "Go Fuck Yourself, Inc."
That was my thought, exactly. Even on lower quality DVD, you can see every pore, as well as the makeup Shatner and Nimoy are wearing.
I'm Captain Kirk! I'M CAPTAIN KIIIRRK!
When there is no alternative, can there really be consent?

But, but, I thought Weiner hated trial lawyers and wanted to stop them. Now, he's using them??? I don't understand! Explain, please!
Well, yeah, true. I like Olbermann's ripping of Glenn Beck, but I look at it more as a "takes one to know one" kind of situation.
Wait, so Glenn Beck killed Kenny???
The problem is that a lot of his ravings can't be argued against since they are just bizarre conspiracy theories where he draws lines between things. They are the sort of conspiracy theories that would make Alex Jones and David Icke blush.
Olbermann has a sort of analysis of Beck here, though he mostly just let Beck's insanity speak for itself. I thought it interesting, though, that Glenn Beck has a communist paperweight.
May I suggest something like this. It seems to work quite well.

Build your own roads. And, if someone seriously wrongs you, don't go to the "Socialist" court system.

Well, considering several centuries of slavery, followed by share-cropping and racist laws, I would say for African-Americans being poor came first.
So, Neanderthals are responsible for autism! Let's go out and kill those sons-of-bitches!
Well, considering some of the more recent Republican votes, he actually does need to emphasize that he is in the anti-rape crowd.
Personally, I'm surprised he wasn't guillotined for his role in The Count of Monte Cristo. I believe butchering that fine piece of literature should be considered treason against the French Republic.
