what kind of "political dynasty" has a senator beget a president and attorney general, both assassinated?
Well there's the senior senator from Mass. And before they started dropping like flies, the Kennedy name and "Camelot" had a large amount of pull. Btw Kanye West doesn't like poor white folk.
It should be noted that these weapons are not the pitiful 1-5 kiloton weapons that Korea is detonating. It is likely they are 10+ megaton city-killers.
It should also be noted that the thing that separates a 1-5 kiloton weapon from a 10+ megaton city killer is tritium which has a relatively short half-life of ~12 yrs thus after 40 yrs approx. 12.5% of the original tritium is around to create that megaton nuclear event. Thus these bombs are no longer "city-killers". Though the uranium and plutonium primaries should still be usable.
The power to tax is the power to destroy. So if the Indian govt. wants to destroy their "information" economy by taxing ISPs for light generating, then they are on the right track.
Nukes are the most useless weapon any country can have,
How this gets moderated +5, I can't even guess. Nukes are not useless, since it keeps big countries from invading smaller countries half a world away. The threat of a nuclear reprisal to an overwhelming conventional attack tends to keep nuclear nations from getting attacked. Of course it also helps if China is your neighbor and doesn't want lots of your refugees flooding its countryside. Another wise man once said, "The only way for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing."
If you're looking for sob stories about nice people falling on hard times, there are for more worthy cases than Robert Anton. Didn't you hear? They beat the women in Kumar! Hopefully, that snapped you out of your moral superiority with your snarky little comment about the local VA hospital or Children's Wish foundation. If not, shine on you crazy diamond.
Don't like it? There's the door. Punk ass kid. As your local walmart employee, thanks for making my job a lot harder since when you kid goes Erik and Lyle on your ass, I'm going to have see 3 pieces of id before I can sell the double ought buck shot.
Why is it that they should deemed to be less responsible than say two powers who have about 60000 pieces between them? One, the British didn't draw all our maps. Two, the US and USSR haven't had 3 "hot" wars in the last 50 years.
First Canada wants tourists, they publish advertising saying come visit Canada. Secondly, if you purchase anything while in Canada you are paying for the salaries of the customs agents. And yes this has to do with middle level bureaucrats thinking they are Jack Bauer and can do whatever they please to stop them terrorists.
You do realize you sum the masses of the ohjects so as long as you don't send the moon mass out into space then the moon shouldn't run wildly out of its orbit.

It's not the iPod's fault how it's used, but the military might want to reconsider its missions if it needs to lure people in with the "comfort" of their music players to get the job done at all.
It's war people, not Boy Scout Jamboree, there's no campfire sing along just dying and killing. Would you rather the soldiers smoked some hashish, or perhaps a strong hit of sake before going into battle?
But the tricky part is keeping it from getting a fourth methyl group onto the benzene ring (or third onto Toluene). If it immediately exploding isn't a concern, the chemistry becomes quite a bit easier....But benzene and Toluene really should already be banned substances.
I am not sure where you are getting your extra methyl groups from, anyways I think the concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids are far more dangerous than benzene and toluene. And you use toluene instead of benzene since it is easier to get nitro groups onto the ring.
Not in the US. But in Germany where it's Opel not chevy, you might be surprised. Oh and try to buy a carbureted push rod V-8 in a BMW, you can't. Similarly try to purchase a normally aspirated V-10 that gets ~100 hp/ liter of displacement in a chevy road car. So perhaps this is nothing like Dell and Apple selling Intel based computers.
Actually, It would probably be 95% Ethanol since the azeotrope with water, makes simple binary distallation impossible, also 100% Ethanol is hydroscopic enough to pull moisture out of the air, so it won't be 100% ethanol when you put it in your tank.
The Arabs don't believe Isreal or the Jews have any right to exist on this planet.
Not entirely true, most Arabs would be happy if Israel, was moved to Canada, then most Arabs wouldn't care. So remember, not liking a mass migration of European Jews into your neighborhood != to seeking extermination of all Jews on the face of the planet.
It's the same as in their military doctrine: we insist we have the right and means to kill you if we please, and you have no right for a deterrent.
See, that's what happen's when you are the last remaining super power and you spend more on your military then the next 5 or 10 guys combined. It also saddles you with the responsibilty/burden of fixing every little problem created by British map makers and French Colonialism.
At least if the net was governed by an international body, it would be more difficult to outright bully...
The irony in this statement is after saying you believe the Internet's "neutrality and transparency need to be preserved at all costs." You want an international body to govern it. Well, when China, Iran, Singapore, or some other nation-state you don't agree with get its "turn" at the head of this "neutral body", I ask "Quid custodiet ipsos custodes?" After all it's not like Libya got elected to head the UN Human Rights commission...oh wait.
...the idea that "black" person are overpowering a "white" person, is absurd on the face of it.
Check out post-apartheid South Africa for how unabsurd that thought is. But, don't let the facts get in the way of your guilt trip. Or are you saying that power only corrupts white people? Can't we all just get along?

I said nothing about Bush Jr, except that his grandfather was a bigot (and a Nazi collaborator),
You mean like the patriach of the other american political dynasty, Joseph Kennedy?

I think that this obsession with control will profoundly hurt bith nations...
Does this mean the end of "the Modal Nodes"?
The entitlement disease is rampant on Slashdot...
You mean like the taxes on blank media, so that no matter how such media is used I still get paid? Oh, I see now.

Does your mommy still cut up your food for you? Or are you still eating Gerber, so that it "just works right out of the box"(no chewing business)?

At 14 yrs old it's too late. Or you could try to reason with the child rather than kicking his ass.
