Fuck that pack up and get everyone out and let the region burn and the barbarians kill each other if they want to kill each other over silly religious beliefs let them but they attack us once we leave them to rot as they seem to want show them the error of there way with bombs and drones if that fails we can always produces several kilometers of glass in a instant till they learn.
I see no point in wasting the lives of our troops on helping people who don't really want it. A supposed silent majority is no majority at all
Then again there is something to be said about stopping genocide which we will probably see one way or another when it comes to the Christians and Jews in the region if we did pull out.
but! If it wasn't for that video our US embassies around the world wouldn't of been attacked/rioted at and the one in Libya wouldn't of been raided the the ambassador killed! Hope and Change demands this!
Good thing Romney's a Mormon and not a Muslim so everyone can all insult his religion and exercise there free speech with out being intimated by the government or threatened with murdered and other fun rage boy things by it's followers.
Autism likely isn't a single cause or disease it's probably multiple causes showing similar effects to different degrees and I wouldn't be shocked to learn a large portion is related to our modern diet and lifestyle and it's interaction with long standing genetic mutations that were less pronounced because we were outside, far more active, and ate different food in different quantities in the past like how we didn't consume as much artificial/modified foods like HFCS or hell we never used to consume as much sugar in general as we do now but that a different larger issue.
IN the end all sorts of things could be mingling to cause the larger amounts of autistic children we see today but people always like simple problems and answers where its just one thing causing the problem which is highly unlikely. Besides autism is begin badly abused as a diagnosis for every child not perfectly normal these days as any introvert child is now basically considered autistic to a degree and any adult introvert would of probably been labeled autistic if they were growing up today.
Several school districts around here in northern Metro-Detroit spent the last 15years building new school or modernizing all the schools with AC by they replacing all the in room heather units with heater a/c combinations units and putting in all new low-e windows while wiring all rooms with internet access. The DPS on the other hand just pissed all it's money away like modernizing the schools that had barely any students and then closing them down after spending millions upgrading them but kept the run down ones open.
That's a nice idea and might work is smaller country and suburban school districts but doesn't work in large inner city school districts they just move the bad teachers around from school to school as it's less trouble then trying to actually get rid of bad teachers or they do what LA did/does and pay the teacher to sit around and do nothing some of it's unions some of it's worthless administrators but it all boils down to the massive bureaucracy that is a large city.
Throwing good money after bad won't fix our current education system we need to rethink the entire system from the ground up because teaching kids just to pass standardized tests is a mostly worthless "education" in the end.
The problem isn't underpaid teachers in general it's low starting wages and bad hiring practices. You don't have to be good with kids you just need a piece of paper saying your a trained teacher which isn't worth anything if you can't get along with kids or don't really care and once you hired it's just about impossible to get rid of you unless your beating or sleeping with your students I don't remember the exactly district but in a large CA city that had several hundred teacher not teaching for several reason but they couldn't fire them so they just sat around and got paid to do nothing.
You can have students attend school even 365/365, but if in end you teach them Creationism I don't think they'll "excel in our global society" anyway.
That is a cute comment but the major failures in public education like Detroit are in deeply democratic areas where there not a single hint of Creationism or other odd ball theories but I'm sure your right it's creationism that's dooming public school...
The F700 wasn't allowed by the judge and apple originally said it infringed until they were told it was released before the iphone then they removed it even thought the F700 looks a lot the galaxy S or least the Epic 4g with the main difference being the speaker location and button shape compared to an iphone.
While it's right to blame Smith for starting it the bill had bipartisan support though do I remember the annoyance on Reddit that republicans were moving quicker and in larger numbers to oppose SOAP then the democrats
Your number aren't totally accurate given the $5.25 is for companies making less then 500k a year and it's $6.15 is they make less then $635k a year and that's only for companies exempt from the federal min wage of $7.25 and only 3.1% of the population in Minnesota makes $6.55 or less and that doesn't include tips and such
The rover has two computers ones a fully redundant back up and I'd hope they didn't build a system that requires both system to be upgrade at the same time...
NIMBY is the major issue with that idea as its hard enough to get towers in some locations as it is and tripling or quadrupling the numbers will be almost impossible.
It would be interesting if a cell carrier teamed up with cable providers to build femto-cells into there cable modems or included them as an option with the cell carrier paying the rental fee in-exchange for make it an open site where the environment makes it hard to provide good coverage.
Agent orange isn't realistically considered a WMD since it the side effects from over exposure that can potentially be fatal compared to real WMDs like Nuclear weapons and Chemical (VX and Sarin) and Bio-Weapons (Anthrax) that are designed to do one thing and that is kill en mass
Pretty much this but not sure it its in the sense you meant it... The US is buttering up Vietnam because of China and we Vietnam isn't really against being friends with eh US now it counters China's influence in the region it's also why they're working with Russia it's all about containing the influence of China and the negative impacts i might have in Vietnam
This is true it would add about $70-80million to the fly-away cost of each new F-22 which would be around $240million each if we ordered 75 more but that goes down with each extra jet ordered but hey we can just buy them cheaper F-35s at $207mil a pop though that price seems to keep going up and up... was only supposed to be $133mil 2 years ago
The fly away cost of an F-22 is $170million while the current and ever increasing fly away cost of an F-35A is $207.6 million. The R&D cost of the program adds $242million but that's R&D money that was already spent over the last 20 plus years. The F-22 cost $170million to physically build but people love to throw out the $400million+ figure with all sunk costs that's already been paid out. If we had built 400 of them it would of spread the $34billion dollars R&D costs out more and dropped it to $250Million from the $412million it is now make it 800 and it drops to $212M 1000 and it's $204Million which is $3 million less then an F-35A's fly-away cost as of 2011 and they want to buy 2,200 F-35s and the F-35B and F-35C cost at least $30million more then a F-35A and none of this takes into the account adding the R&D costs of the F-35 program which is projected to be at least $56billion only $22Billion more then the R&D costs of the F-22. As of right now each F-35 built this year costs $304million with current R&D costs added on to the $207million fly-away cost./rants
Uh... The issue isn't the warming but how much real warming there is as most as in all math I know of one does not get.309 from averaging.155 and.248 but I'm not using special man-made global climate change math like you obviously are. My math and logic would indicate something of an average of.201 C/decade in warming or a max average of.248 C/decade if we ignore all the well positioned sites as one does not get a higher average using two lower averages.
The issue as other posters have pointed is that the paper points out an adjustment error. How does one adjust well sited stations showing and average warmign trend of 0.155C/decade and poorly sited stations showing an average a 0.248 C/decade trend into a fully adjusted 0.309 C/decade trend? Is badly placed sites show an average of 0.248C of warming so when I average that with the.155C of warring shown by good sites so how would one come up with an ever higher total average of.309C? I mean something has to be wrong to come up with an average great then the two temperatures put into it
That funny given Obama received $2.4 million in donations form big oil in 2008 compared to the $900k that McCain got in the same time period. So yeah big oils the funding arm of the republican party. In reality Big Oil puts its money on who it thinks will win based on the theory giving them money will influence them in there favor and it seems to of worked since the Democrats controlled majorities in the House, Senate and Presidency until the 2010 mid-terms elections and did jack shit.
The nuclear power industry doesn't build new plans because it's far cheaper and easier to maintain a current one then jump though all the federal hoops while wading though all the lawsuits by the anti-nuke jackasses and not in my backyard types. Most companies aren't going to build something that is insanely expensive and requires 10years or more of lawsuits and regulatory hoops to jump through just to get a permit to even start building which will take 4-8years on its own. Making everything expensive and overly complicated just to get a permit makes it not worth money to build 4th gen nuclear capacity to replace all the current 1st gen plants. They will be replaced by modern coal or natural gas plants until fraking is banned then it will just be all coal. We should allow nuclear operators to build pre-approved new 4th gen plants directly next to existing nuclear plants with streamlined approval process as direct replacements for the existing 1st gen that must be shut down as soon as the new one powers up.

Its not but unless you're talking to atheists well some of them anyways. Hardcore atheists are just as bad as hard core religious types.

so this is how they will drive Solar production in the use ban nukes and then coal and then fraking to drive up NG prices
