Accepting vandalism does not lead to accepting suicide, murder, bombing (even if "no one is hurt"), etc. The fact that you managed to make the conclusion means that you probably need to seriously review your premises, as a lack of perspective of that magnitude could mean you end up causing considerable harm to yourself or others.
If you can't see how vandalism does harm to normal people, then it's you who needs perspective.
If you think Google fiber = electricity, then you truly are a fucking moron.
If you think that it is acts of petty vandalism which have a deciding influence on your electricity bill, rather than the whims of a few very powerful energy companies, then I'm not sure how you even managed to crawl out of the slime and onto your computer chair.
Let me guess, you're the one encouraging people to ram their small aircraft into government buildings, since that's what really makes a difference.
Fuck you people and your attitudes of indifference to the monolithic pharmacological complex that permeates your lives and controls you with its intense advocacy of mind and body-altering drugs. You have only yourselves to blame for your inept decline into an ignorant stupor where you would sooner stare at the wall than engage in significant conversations about reality.
"Take one guy who read a lot of novels and one guy who solved a lot of differential equations. Which one is more likely to be able to feed his family?"
The guy who solved the equations, of course. Since he still lives in his mother's basement and has only himself to feed, he doesn't need much income.
Short summary: The PSP has more games and better gamse, yet still loses on the market against the NintendoDS, most likly due to far to much PS2 recycling on the PSP.
Uhh, how about: "likely due to the fact that the PSP costs twice as much as the DS."
Imagine, a country which actually plans for its future!!! I recall once living in a country like that....that would be when Kennedy was still president.....
You must have a very short-term memory.
I suppose you don't recall the Bay of Pigs. Yay! Let's all go back to the Cold War mentality! "Missile gap" anyone?
How is it not arbitrary? If it's not arbitrary, does that mean the definition that 40% of the voters were calling for is arbitrary and this definition isn't? I think not. The line at which the definition for planet is drawn is arbitrary and has nothing to do with science.
What a brilliant piece of intellectually stimulating discourse you've evoked with your highly-elucidating statement. I highly anticipate whatever subsequent commentary may be forthcoming.
Not true. The term "planet" is an arbitrary definition. There is no objective scientific truth regarding what constitutes a "planet" until humans give the term a certain meaning. The arbitrary meaning assigned to the term is what determines the objects that fall under a given classification. In this instance, the new arbitrary definition, replacing the older arbitrary definition, suggests that Pluto is not a "planet." Whatever that means...

I resent that, but I concede your point.
Loose lips sink ships my friend, mine excluded, of course.
In any case, I'd suggest being a bit more circumspect with your opinions. You never know what terrible misfortunes might consequently arise.
I'm not so bad once you get to know me.

Equating vandalism with suicide and/or murder?
Obvious troll is obvious, Sir.
Nope, I'm just taking your crazy nonsense to its logical conclusion.
I'm guessing if no one is hurt when the piper cub takes out the side of a building you'd be okay with it?

These schools go to eleven.
Scientology is at best rather absurd, but I don't see any clear way of distinguishing it from other more conventional religions
Two words: FOR PROFIT

Those who would flame me today, will simply burn tomorrow, and deservedly so.
God, you "all natural" medicine freaks are about as bad as those Scientologist.
I'd rather be called a "medicine freak" than a "druggie."
The blame lies squarely on his own shoulders.
It's certainly easier to think that than to confront the culture of violence and racism that permeates every aspect of American life.

What you say is very true. I'm still using the new interface, but it sure is slow as hell. Hopefully, they'll improve this with time.

If you are an American, please don't support your current administrations drive to cause yet another war by believing their propaganda about Iran.
Yes, instead we should believe in Iran's own propaganda about their nuclear program.
What exactly is wrong with allowing the UN to inspect Iran's nuclear program?
The real question is, what happens then
Are you kidding me? Iran would be wiped off the map.
Except it's not arbitrary
How is it not arbitrary? If it's not arbitrary, does that mean the definition that 40% of the voters were calling for is arbitrary and this definition isn't? I think not. The line at which the definition for planet is drawn is arbitrary and has nothing to do with science.
People didn't vote for the Earth to be round. Don't confuse science with semiotics.
Oh, and by the way, before five-hundred years ago, most educated people did indeed already know that the Earth is round.
Guys, it's called science
A vote on an arbitrary definition is not "science." It's politics.
I think Snakes on a Plane won't win an Oscar.
What a brilliant piece of intellectually stimulating discourse you've evoked with your highly-elucidating statement. I highly anticipate whatever subsequent commentary may be forthcoming.
Because we were wrong.

Don't fret it. Long ago Romans learned it was a god. They didn't have to unlearn it. Their empire simply collapsed.
Yeah, but not before they converted to Christianity.
It's still just a buck fifty though.
Yah, a buck vs a buck fifty, or 1 billion vs. 1.5 billion. Seems like a buck fifty per capita goes a long way if you have over a billion people.
