Please outline the beliefs of atheism. Please outline atheistic morality. Please define the atheistic purpose for life.
If you can't do these, you're spouting bullshit and really out to shut up and let the adults talk.
Rigorous as they are, scientists can also be awfully arrogant. Sometimes the skeptics and the unwashed public turn out to have been right after all despite decades of being dismissed by scientists. There is any number of examples like this. Examples of people in the scientific community whose work cannot be second guessed, even by other scientists, because they "have a huge reputation" and are "big names in the field".
Please, please, PLEASE go back and read the link you just posted, because it was QUANTIFIABLE DATA, not just skepticism or public opinion, that proved the scientists wrong. The AGW skeptics have no such data, as goes for most skeptics of the consensus theory in any case.
One belief is that heavy consumption of turkey meat (as for example in a Thanksgiving or Christmas feast) results in drowsiness, which has been attributed to high levels of tryptophan contained in turkey. While turkey does contain high levels of tryptophan, the amount is comparable to that contained in most other meats. Furthermore, postprandial Thanksgiving sedation may have more to do with what else is consumed along with the turkey, in particular carbohydrates and alcohol.
The problem is that people's memories are not permanent. If you show them a bunch of different (but similar) images of people, it may well completely change what they remember about the suspect. A police sketch artist doesn't show any faces until they're done.
Before you spout off about Chernobyl, you might want to consider the fact that the type of reactor, shielding, and countermeasure systems used at Chernobyl are over 40 years out of date. Nobody makes reactors like that anymore. Not to mention that Chernobyl only happened because of the incompetence of the staff.
"The only societal rights that Americans possess are the rights laid out by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I am unaware of any portion of those documents that gives a citizen the right to health care."
Bullshit. You clearly haven't even *read* the Constitution, because it goes into explicit detail about the fact that there are rights not enumerated there which are also protected.
Nope. Sorry. You're the one who made the claim - that "our economy was doing GREAT during the short time we had a free market". You get to support that claim now.
Except not at all, because "lunch" isn't a goddamn right, and you aren't enslaving anyone by requiring a service, because people choose to work in service industries. He's a troll.
Please do us all a favor and tell us when that was. Pre- or post-industrialization? Had we invented international communication yet? Do you honestly think that, because something worked decades ago, it will continue to work in a world that has changed far beyond what the system was built to handle? Your faith is NOT founded.
I used upper-case text because your reading comprehension apparently involves "stop reading once you see something you disagree with", and I wanted to make sure you saw the point.
Regarding the farmer, what an insipid question to ask. Since when did you have a right to eat farm produce?
Regarding the physicians, you're the free market guy here, right? Wouldn't you just assume that they'd be replaced by people willing to do the job?
And that is unqualified bullshit, because THE PEOPLE PROVIDING HEALTH CARE HAVE CHOSEN THEIR PROFESSION. I don't know why that is so DIFFICULT to understand. You are not FORCING them to become doctors. They do it OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL.
Also, if you honestly find that your concern for corporate incomes trumps your compassion for your fellow human beings, I pity you. Health care is a right. If you think that people who provide for things that are rights are somehow enslaved by the fact that they're rights, you're out of your mind. People always choose what they do.
Did you even bother to look at what I was replying to? No, clearly not, since it wasn't even on the subject of the health care bill. It was some idiot AC yammering on about one of the tenets of his religion of objectivism. If everyone followed his idiotic little maxim, we would not have a military, let alone a government.
If you think that free market forces will magically make everything perfect, you've got more faith in your economic model than a fundie Christian has in his god.
Your entire argument is in doubt based on the fact that you have no idea how long the bill is. It is actually less than 600 pages long. I can only assume you've just been accepting what you've been told about it and have never looked at it yourself.

What size glass and what size serving? That makes about as much sense as "muscle weighs more than fat".

Sit down, have a pint, chill out a bit. It'll all be okay.
No. Sorry. No way. This is vaporware. It could not possibly work in a standard DVD player.

Same old bullshit from the right, "me first, fuck everyone else."

Didn't check the subdomain, did you. Welcome to politics.slashdot.org.
And this is why Ayn Rand was a useless bitch. Take your broken pop philosophy somewhere else, please; the adults are trying to make things better.
You'll notice I said "part".
