    So all those other times the government stepped in and helped save some aspect of the planet we rely on as a species, that didn't happen. Gotcha. Your logic is fucking embarrassing.

    There is everything wrong about wanting to meet in a nice building, instead of spending that money on poor people, and meeting in the barest of buildings suitable for the purpose. I'm pretty sure Jesus was humble, and taught to help others, not spend money on a fancy building (or even a "nice" building) instead of using it to help others.

    Hitler happened because the victors of WWI were (successfully) trying to extract every ounce of energy and dignity from the German people. Ignoring that little bit of information is not going to help anyone.

    You can say anything you want - as long as it's factually accurate, there will be no problem with actual political correctness. The 'C' in PC is far more important than the 'P' (which doesn't even matter). People seem to forget that it is all just an exercise in veracity.

    You should figure out the difference between sea ice and land ice, and then realise why what you posted has nothing to do with this discussion :)

    Are you really being serious? North & south are strange there because it straddles the south pole, but east and west are still there and functioning just as they do elsewhere.

    None of that means anything, as you don't know the difference between sea ice and land ice. Your understanding of this topic is laughable, yet that's not stopping you from vomiting forth more nonsense with every keystroke.

    You don't get it, though, otherwise you would not be proudly telling everyone you don't understand.

    The original poster claimed that "[we aren't] even supposed to have snow past the year 2001", and then you post that article which says nothing of the sort. It says that the snows & ice seen in the UK in the 19th & early 20th centuries will possibly not be seen again, something I doubt you'll find many disagreeing with. His statement is not accurate in any way I can see. Please enlighten us to how a factually incorrect statement can be accurate.

    Read the IPCC reports. Your argument would make a lot of sense if the reports don't exist, but as they do, you sound very unreasonable indeed.

    So you are confusing the scientific findings with the voices on Slashdot? No wonder you are so misinformed about the world in which you live. It is truly amazing that you parade your wilful ignorance around as if it's something to be proud of.

    All of your questions have already been answered. You can feign honest interest in the subject, but when you are so ignorant of the findings of the field in question, your credibility takes a massive, massive hit.

    You don't even realise that you're loudly broadcasting to everyone just how little you actually know about this subject. Staggering.

    You do realise that tirade is completely unnecessary - if their science is bad, point out the faults, and your job as a rational human being would be complete. As it is you can't, so you attack the organisation itself, conveniently absolving you of any hard work you had to do.

    Nope. It's because if there is an accident, it's easy for people inside to see fire outside, and for the emergency services to see inside.

    How about all the kids who never got a chance to complain about safety on slashdot because they died? It's hard to enjoy life a bit more when you're not alive.

    So you are so desperate to attack black people you don't mind showing everyone your complete lack of understanding of cause and effect. Brilliant. Why should anyone pay any attention to your hate-filled drivel when you can't even be bothered to understand the subject at hand?

  21. Re:US South on Interactive Map Exposes the World's Most Murderous Places · · Score: 1

    In your rush to blame black people, you completely ignored the fact that black people are far more likely to be poor, and it's poor people who commit crimes. Ignoring the white poor people who are just as criminal in their behaviour speaks volumes about your real intent in making that point.

    And how many of those small train stations can't reach an ICE station in a reasonable amount of time? I'll wait for you to make up an answer...

    Thanks for showing us - again - just how woefully out of touch you are with the situation here in Germany. It would be hilarious if you were not serious. As you are, it's tragic. It appears just because the US is spending money on education, it doesn't mean it's money well spent. You are a pretty good example of why :)

    And in countries with decent public transport, rail links between remote, small towns and main transport hubs are present, punctual, and good value for money. Where I live you can be out in the sticks in a tiny village, and be in the major transport hub in half an hour, and get directly on your international train to Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Zurich, Madrid, Marseilles, London, etc. etc. etc.

    You are complaining about things which have already been solved. Yes, the trains go to the city centre, which is where everyone wants to go, because from there they can get their transport link to their home. It's really not complicated (unless you want it to be).
