You are wrong, water increases volume when heated up. Sorry, the discussion was not volume change between warm water and hot water. It was volume change on ice/water equilibrium going to an all water scenario. There the volume change is negative, don't believe me try it with some ice cubes and a glass of water.
And the new DLC has like maybe a dozen or less small areas, each, added to play. and anchorage had ultra boring gameplay (like a crappy FPS with NO roleplaying), and mediocre loot at the end (except maybe the chinese spy suit). Actually, the best part of the Anchorage mission(since the gauss rifle is buggy) is the ability to wear power armor well before you are half way through the game unlike when you get the power armor training perk in the vanilla game.
Uhh, the Roadster is built on a Lotus Elise body and frame. If you are looking at a $50+k road hugging high performance vehicle full of win and awesome, the Lotus Esprit screams it at 8000 RPMs. How a post that confuses an Elise with the Esprit(which hasn't been made since 2004)got +5 insightful I'll never know. I'm pretty sure that of the entire market of vehicles on the market today, only a tiny portion of them can be viewed as at all resembling the vehicles from Lotus. Check out the god awful kappa platform from GM(ie. the Pontiac solistice and the Saturn Sky), those were elise/exige inspired.
You gotta catch up with the wingnuttery, dude. These days it's all right-wing whining about FEMA internment camps for Patriots, terror that the gubmint will take away their AK-47s, and the xenophobic "DEY TOOK OUR JAHBS!" ranting about immigrants.
The left sounds positively sane by comparison. No, 9/11 truthers make everyone look sane by comaparison, and a new assault weapons ban would make obtaining AK-47s difficult, thus not an unrealistic concern. And the crowd yelling, "DEY TOOK OUR JAHBS and sent them oversez" loudest are the leftist/big labor(must pass card check) crowd.
Why the fuck would someone joke about kids getting autism?
Since they(the medical community) changed the definition of autism to the autism spectrum of disorders, such that according to some statistics 1 in 150 babies are born w/ autism. At that rate, 0.67% of the population, autism becomes funny since the term has lost its orginal meaning.
PS. Captcha-> contrite, wow I think the slash code has absorbed the evil AI from nethack.
Yes, and USians brag and boast about living in a democracy, where everyone has equal chance to be president, and many other imagined "virtues", despite none of those things being true. I was unaware that the University of Southern Indiana Association of Nursing Students spent so much time bragging about living in a democracy. Oh, you meant Americans how droll you are.
Time to stop letting Hollywood think for you. People are smart, yet humanity is not currently enslaved. Why? Because people are intelligent enough to know that's a bad idea. If robots are ever more intelligent than us, they'll also be intelligent enough to make good decisions. Frankly, I'd rather have the more intelligent beings in charge. They would actually make more intelligent decisions! It's humans that should not be trusted. They're just consistently intelligent enough. Repeat that little rant while listening to Porno for pyros "pets". If robots are ever more intelligent than us, they'll also be intelligent enough to make good decisions. Depends on whose value system you define good. Angus cattle make "good" hamburgers but I don't know if that is any consolation for the bull.
But the thing is, the definition of libertarian in common usage requires that a person be what I would call extremist. I'll try to avoid the semantics game, as to usage etc. here's the statement of principle of the libertarian party.
"We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose." Well, that doesn't seem too extremist now does it? Now, if you do view tha above as extremist then we'll just have to agree to disagree. As for strawmen, I quoted you verbatim, no strawman anywhere.
It doesn't really make sense to be since if Slashdot it anything, it is Libertarian The year 2000 called it wants its/. back. Slashdot has been overrun w/ "progressives" since 2000 and the most recent election has shown they're more likely to get a little troll happy as well. Maybe if Republicans can see they become popular doing things intelligent people want, they will stop with the hatred of gays, the poor, and minorities and start coming back to the center again. Q.E.D.
I didn't say libertarianism = ism = religious extremism. I said libertarianism is like religious extremism because the followers have the same behavior pattern of ignoring inconvenient facts and going into denial to preserve their belief. Actually, you said and I quoted, "You hit the nail right on the head there. Libertarianism is another form of extremism, just like religious extremism." See is != is like. Certainly there are extremists in any point of view, had you stated, "some libertarians behave like religious extremists in their ignoring inconvenient facts and going into denial to preserve their belief." No one would have accused you of leaping to conclusions, instead a wikipedia link to cognitive dissonance would have been appropriate. Now, to the mod who wasted point on calling my previous post a troll, really? Remember kids troll mod != something you disagree with.
You hit the nail right on the head there. Libertarianism is another form of extremism, just like religious extremism. Wow, that's quite a leap, you should be cast as the next superman. So how easy is life when you have such a simple philosphy that any -ism you don't like or understand == religious extremism.
Hell, I've got karma to burn so with a -1 Troll mod, let's add a -1 offtopic, b/c the kosdot mods don't have a -1 disagree option. Seriously google jobs bank uaw if you don't believe my claim of sweetheart deals. Next google merit pay teachers to see how that union is making reform difficult.
enlightened atheists shall have no remorse in discriminating against the religious, and making it known That word, I don't think it means what you think it means. And if you were so truly enlightened you recognize how two wrongs do not make a right, or the irony of your dogmatic discrimination against those who disagree with you.
demonization of unions. Made far easier since the world has seen what sweetheart deals the UAW set themselves up with and how difficult proper education reform has been due to the teachers unions. Really, unions and their leadership are their own worst enemies.

Within reason. I don't have to put up with being raped. Society as a whole doesn't have to put up with embryos being aborted over hair/eye color if it deems it to be immoral. You really think this is going to fly? Why not? We allow abortions based on sex. And you clearly don't understand the technology here. It's not embryos being aborted, it's embryos not being implanted, much like current IVF technology that already exists.
It feeds on the closeted shame most men feel for the horrible way they treat women. It's the fear that someone might treat them the way they treat others. Oh, crap you found me out! I really am afraid someone seeking to have sex with me will open the door for me and pretend to listen when I prattle on about how cute my cat is. And perhaps they'll even purchase things for me like dinners, flowers, and candy. Please someone wake me from this nightmare.
And, also, when the police search his house, they found weapons ammo. This is presumably relevant somehow. Of course it is, weapons ammo in a house in San Fran is like having an autographed copy of Mein Kampf in Jerusalem. He's evil don't you know?
Libertarianism is great on paper, but I don't think it could make the jump to real life. Did I miss the meeting somewhere when it was decided that/. would characterize all libertarians as either wild west cowboys or mad max wannabes looking for ultimate law of the jungle? After all one quick way to get a neg mod is to make the assertion the we're on the slope from creeping socialism to full on Soviet style govt., but anytime someone says,"Heh, I don't really think govt. knows best at this point." The aforemention caricature of libertarianism is brought up. So I guess the question is when did libertarian become a pejorative?
The electoral college was put in place so that there would be a check on the power of the uneducated masses...Originally the EC didn't have to vote with the state!
Nice tinfoil hat you've got there. If by tin-foil hat you meant accurate reading of the US Constitution(as written), then it is nice. The electoral college, and the selection of Senators in the Constituion was put in place to avoid the tyranny of the fickle mob. The founding fathers had studied history and seen the problems demagogues had caused in the Roman Republic
Let us pray that Obama can wipe public references to deities into oblivion. Oh, the irony! Yes let us pray. To whom and where shall we pray if not in public? PS. Also as the Brits say God save the Queen!
That fucker up there said it very simply over two centuries ago. Just to put that into perspective, the man credited with drafting that phrase also owned slaves, and many of the signers of the document quoted also owned slaves, and/or supported child labor, indentured servitude and a whole host of other non-liberty things. Please get some perspective.
