The context was a conversation between Bruce Wayne and Morgan Freeman's character, who had evidently been a CIA agent in Southeast Asia. He told the story of how they were going to win the hearts of the natives by distributing rubies to the native leaders, but they kept getting stolen. One day Freeman's character sees a little girl playing with them, which is when he realized the thief was throwing them away.
Explain the context of Michael Caine's jewelry thief story, please.
"Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CaCO3. It is a common substance found as rock in all parts of the world, and is the main component of shells of marine organisms, snails, and eggshells. Calcium carbonate is the active ingredient in **agricultural lime**, and is usually the principal cause of hard water."
These "journalists" don't slant their coverage to reflect their personal preferences?
The Fairness Doctrine, in practice, required that anytime a conservative/Republican was given air time, a Liberal/Democrat had to be given equal air time.
The Liberal/Democrat "journalists" air time didn't count. No equal time was required.
AM radio was dead while the Fairness Doctrine was in force. It's alive and well now because conservatives listen to it and provide listeners for advertisers.
Liberal talk radio can't make it, not due to some conspiracy, but because the typical Democrat voter would rather watch Oprah.
To Liberals, anything is unfair that doesn't put them in charge.
PS - When Obama loses, how will you say the election was stolen this time? Or will you just say that his loss just proves Americans are racists?

Wish I'd known that before I upgraded.
...which could probably come in very handy.
...than one of battle-fatigue.
After two or three continuous days on WOW I need a shrink, too.
And a lot more fun.
I tried Cuil, and it seems awfully lame to me.
I didn't get any results I was looking for, all I got was a bunch of links to companies that were obliquely related to my search.
Cuil is an advertisement delivery platform.
A bunch of people have responded and said that it was Michael Caine's character who told the jewel thief story.
I distinctly remember Morgan Freeman telling it.
Am I wrong?
What was the context?
Was Caine a former CIA agent?
Ummm. No.

I was thinking of agricultural lime:

"Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CaCO3.

No.
Morgan Freeman recounted the tale of the jewelry thief who stole them only to throw them away.
Lime (or calcium carbonate, CaCO3) is a base, which is the opposite of an acid.
Ah, that's right.
Morgan is great in that role.
If it said Bush sucks, it wouldn't be just a movie though, would it?
...about the jewel thief, as well.
I don't specifically remember that. Could you refresh my memory? Thanks.
Anybody else catch that?
Anybody else think of Bush when they caught it?
Well, we're comparing this to a company that's engaged in R&D before it turns a profit...
They claim to have a functioning process that produces more energy than it consumes.
Do you mean to say that they really don't?
Do you mean when Apple incorporated that Steve, Steve, and Mike already had a profitable business that they gave to Apple Computer, Inc?
What else would I mean?
The founders never borrowed penny one. Jobs sold them as fast as Woz could make them.
They could just start making fuel and sell it on a small scale, then plow their profits back into their production facilities.
Apple was profitable from Day One.
This would be too, if it actually worked.
The fact that they're not just doing it means they can't.
We cannot trust students to believe the correct things if we allow them to be exposed to ideas that we disapprove of.
Mainstream print and electronic "journalists" overwhelmingly support Democrats.

Climate models, as we all know, are infallible.
Consensus, don't you know?
"Boy Scouts Ask Open Source Community For Help"
I don't see BSA there.
I support the Boy Scouts by designating them as the recipient of my annual coerced United Way donation.
The parent doesn't say BSA.
It says "Boy Scouts of America."
You have just proved that belief in AGW is a religious belief.
The idea that global climate is never supposed to change is as primitive as any creationist idea.
