Don't be a moron. Letting your kid watch the same goddamn movie in a loop is about as stimulating as letting them stare at a wall. I would wager that kids who are guided by their parents grow up with the ability to sign in to a web account. Kids who get to watch Cars or whatnot 5x/day grow up to post AC.
It's satire within hours of it's relevance... while not necessarily briiliant or gut-busting humor; give a troll some respect for being topical, non-abrasive, quick and decidedly and satirically on topic. most are vulgar and petulantly ignorant.
they're mod points. you've got nothing to prove... use them on something less thoughtful and more irreverent.
This reminds of of a story from earlier this week regarding a poker company called "Full Tilt Poker," only difference being that this one sounds like it might involve a "Ponzi Scheme."
my mom may not ever charge, but; there's a good chance that she'll stop slop-jawing the neighbors long enough to enjoy the delicious meal which you've just helped to pay for. happy meals for all!
also; there's some guy talking to another guy out on the street where i live. he eats marbles. only union truckers brake for breaks!!
Actually, if your initial statement wasn't enough proof of idiocy, the name calling is a giveaway... Beyond the printed word, mass communication is engineered and required to be such as that which can be blocked.
On the topic of name-calling; Shut your idiot whoremouth and go learn something.
"Do you know what it means if you think you can all authorize government to tax me for my wealth? It means I am selfish and single-minded as well as narcissistic."
Mods... just because you disagree with a point being made doesn't make it the comment a trolling comment... I'm about 30 comments deep into this thread... logged in and engaged. If that's trolling, then I'll stop sleeping with your mother.
Let's say we find the cure for cancer... and then proceed to not implement the treatments which facilitate that cure. We will have the ability to state that we've cured cancer, but people will still be dying from cancer, right?
This is precisely what we are doing with regard to feeding and medicating those who aren't being fed or offered treatment.
"Populations will grow exponentially, while resources are bounded." - A solvable dilemma.
"our food productivity is so high only because people wasted money and time tinkering with science" - And it's high and nigh past the time where we can employ the results of that science to realize the initial premises of such research.
Ignoring natural science by way or embracing theoretical science... I'm not complaining about anything, so much as pointing toward the obvious. The warlords and weapons and soldiers and all of that are symptoms of a solvable problem. Looking for an abandoned spacecraft does represent a problem worthy of diverting resources toward.
Please don't permit your own narrow perceptions to lead you to believe that mine are similarly limited. It's the difference between what is conventional and what is transrational.
"Blaming developed countries for third world hunger"
Straw man much? This is a global problem with global solutions. Meaning; the whole globe. Go to the nearest major metropolitan area which you can access... People are starving there, too. We're far better at hiding them than we are at feeding them... and we invest far more resources into hiding them than we to toward caring for them.
You're throwing "if" around as though the solution isn't already at hand. That we have the resources, at this moment, to utterly and permanently eliminate starvation is not an if.
The fact that people who seem to be so heavily engaged in science are capable of ignoring that fact is disturbing.

Why would you let them do that?
No disrespect intended, but seriously... Want remarkable children? Learn to tell your kids no.

Offtopic? WTF mods?

oh come on, -1? it's a little bit close to funny.
it made me chuckle, at least... which may explain why i'm not a moderator.

Is that life? Really?
That is a notably weak ending to and otherwise pointless post.
Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave,Dave, and Dave beat you to it.

yes! your response just helped me win a $20 bet.

FTFY, no need to thank me.
Money, eh?
People like to buy cheap crap. Unless this new phone runs Windows 7 Phone, it'll never appeal to anyone.
Education cures many things.
Thanks for the name-calling... Always a suitable substitute for a qualified response!
AD is the dumbed-down whore which has replaced systems administrators with wizards.
Are you a wizard?
In what way is this comment trolling?

That's not an "if" but, rather, a "why."

This is a discussion. Save your rule-making decrees for people who aren't actively participating in it.
So... we should just ignore all of that and move on, right?
Again... people are dying. They do not have to.
"Welcome to life" doesn't feel so callous a statement to you because you don't know the people who are suffering and aren't personally effected...
Callously pretend that you do and that you are.
Welcome to compassion.
