To which I can only reply, nice non-sequitur, see that figure your link cites is close to the one citied here but wait, there's more, what's at the top of the list in the link, why it's social security(aka Bread and Circuses). Q.E.D.
Big Government is that what gave an edge to the USA since around 1940,...
And what research was "Big Govt." funding? That's right kids, it was weapons research. Now what's "Big Govt." funding? Bread and circuses. After all, "Big Govt." isn't some abstract entity no, it is tied to the voters, and grandmas (the only group who votes often) don't care about shiny new rocket ships, she just wants her check to turn into chips to pull the one armed bandit. And no one could honestly say that George W. Bush tried to end "Big Govt."
You have to admit, there'd never be another war on this planet if this happened, and crime would be rare.
The Victorian Age called and it wants its antiquated notions of the female sex back. Since after all a woman head of state never went to war. Then google female gangs and see just how much sugar and spice there is.
Since most of the RIAA members are publicly traded companies, merely check their filings with the SEC and see if they claimed losses due to piracy in the range of the figures they quote to the press and Congress. If a!=b then they "cook" the books. Afterwards do a google search on royality payments, and see if some artists think they might not be getting their cut due to bizarre accounting practices.
That people don't rise up and tear him apart explains, in a nutshell, why, historically, democracies don't last.
Actually, democracies don't tend to last b/c "the people" or "the mob" figure out they can legislate themselves more "bread and circuses"(or prescription drugs)from the public treasury.
Perhaps some of you bicyclists need to learn that stop signs apply to you as well. Since most bicyclists I've seen riding around don't stop at the signs and just plow right through.
Hah! The USA couldn't invade my *ass* let alone Antigua!
See abu ghraib before you bite off more than you can chew. As for invading an island roughly twice the size of DC. Please well just drop some MOAB and then declare victory.
Did you notice the Italizied text? That was the parent's post I was quoting , so to answer your question, yes I did read the post. I avoided the obvious conspiracy crap, and pointed out the scientific problem with his premise. Good job of adding a non-sequitur(mentioning the ease of finding Hydrogen in places other than plant earth) while accusing me of not paying attention. Touche, or were you not trying to be ironic with But it was also completely irrelevant to what he was talking about. To the chocolate meet peanut butter guy, hydrogen still has energy density problems.
Take hydrogen. The day someone figures out how to easily produce hydrogen the days of energy monopolies are over - anyone with access to water
Ok, one last time hydrogen is a carrier of energy not a generator. H20 -> H2 into whatever storage device -> H20(exhaust frm fuel cell) not really going to gain a ton of energy. Sure it's relatively clean(although you are turning a bunch of liq H2O into water vapor) but hydrogen has energy density problems that need to be solved. So basically, stop getting your science info from Keanu Reeves movies.
It is truly a classic government buearacracy, very wasteful, not entirely straight about what they are doing, and you have to have personal connections to get money from them.
In other words, just like 90% of the rest of the world.;)
I am not from USA And yet you begin with dear fellow Americans? I don't think it means what you think it means. As for the election, pay no attention to the ill informed "progressives" who believe if the Dems take control of the US Congress it will usher in the age of Aquarius. Trust me, Nov. 8, the factions in Iraq will still be fighting for power, Darfur will still be a disgrace, and entitlement spending will still be heading towards a major meltdown. To quote the Who, "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
He refrained from anything way too bad in the last years.
Google "no fly zones" and you'll see why he "refrained from anything way too bad". Yep, those big bad americans were preventing him from killing people.
It's kind of like sitting back after gorging yourself on multiple plates heaped with food at a huge banquet, and then complaining when someone who arrived late for the feast gets up from the table for their first plate.
That would be true if you hadn't built the table, grown and prepared the food, and a bunch of guys strolled in to say thanks for the food, but then complained about the sauce. See without the West's help most of the developing nations would still be at a feudal stage.
Oh, it's even fucking better than that. Who was Saddam's other great friend? Why Jacques Chirac. Yep, those ever so enlightened Europeans were buddy buddy with the "Lion of Islam". So recognize it's an imperfect world.
Actually, I believe liberal==pejorative came about the time politcal correctness had gone quite so crazy, and everybody and his^H^H^H her/his brother/sister was a hyphenated something or other(eg. vertically-challenged american). Of course the pushing of special group rights over the rights of the individual really didn't help either. And before we started calling them "Greens" the PETA types fell under the Liberal umbrella. Oh and people don't like paying taxes so that's another reason Liberal == bad.
I am curious when was Posse Comitatus suspended recently? I didn't see anything on the news about the military performing regular police actions w/out the consent of congress
Uh huh. Gas is over $5 per gallon in a major part of the civilized world, and no one's starving there. Magic ?
When the price of gas doubles in that part of the civilized world, then perhaps we shall if it is magic.
Since we won't make the mistake of comparing apples to oranges, as the post I was replying to was talking about the US where the avg. price ~$2.70 gal, thus the economic shock of an inelastic good doubling in price causing a disruption in the economy. But don't reality ruin that smug feeling, since you missed the other part of my reply, namely this silliness of the private jet crowd crowing about their hybrid vehicles.
When the gas is 5$ a gallon people will take the bus or buy electric cars, use solar energy etc.
Actually, I believe they'll be too busy starving to death, but don't worry your favorite prius driving celeb will still be able to jump in their private jet.
I am supposed to believe that the women voters in this country are to blame for our heavy handed,...
Look up prohibition, see whose wonderful idea that was. Then ask yourself that question again.

The tagging system might be a better example, or at least an example of mostly useless meta information.
It's a trap!

the US has enough land to sustain only about 1/10 of it's population considering its current way of life.
Riiiight, that's why the US is a net exporter of food stuffs, b/c we are running out of land. Good job!

Japan in economic terms are quite small compared to United States
Right, they're #2, I guess that is pretty small.

The USA played a part in the attempted Venezulean coup in 2002.
Hey the US was just celebrating the ten year anniversary of the Coup held by "friend of democracy" Hugo Chavez.
I'm not optimistic anyone that's in my camp has the guts to steal an election, we'd rather give it away
See Johnson, Lyndon B.
