  1. Re:Not over four years on Why Do So Many Liberals "Like" Mitt Romney On Facebook? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The media has ignored just about any possibly negative thing to say about Obama over the course of four years; even longer if you include the campaign leading up to the last election.

    They still say negative things about Obama, I think you are just used to the complete fucking failure that was Bush.

    It's like the difference between one of those snap things you throw to the ground vs 5 pounds of C4.

    Just because there isn't enough to make your ears ring that doesn't mean it isn't there.

    True, but doesn't most of the crap bought in the U.S. come from China?

    And India and Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe and even The United States of America.

    I saw video comparing the counterfeit to the OE airbags. If the counterfeit bag even deployed, it was very delayed and rarely had enough pressure to actually prevent serious injury.

    So is that better than it blowing up too much and bursting? Cause that is what would worry me.

    No shit.

    There are other sources for crap besides China.

    China makes a lot of crap, but not all of the crap.

    Considering this device performs a controlled explosion right in front of your face I would rather like my airbag to have had some form of assurance that their manufacturing techniques are sound and that they go though a rigorous QA process.

  14. Re:If its is alien origin on Curiosity Spies Unidentified, Metallic Object On Mars · · Score: 1

    If there was evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars, the USA would have a complete blackout and denial of it. Why? Because they'd want to be the first to obtain it

    It is rather difficult to do a mission to Mars without being noticed. And NASA would not be involved at all, NASA just does Air Force missions that are more civilian orientated so therefor it is the Air Force that would get obscene amounts of money diverted to it.

    If something is found then it will most probably be shared with NATO countries, well shared may be too strong of a word....., but it wouldn't be done in complete secrecy.

    So does being wrong make you the moron, or does it just make you wrong?

    Lets say we went and put a killer whale on the moon, err Mars. For how long do you think the bacteria would be able to live on the corpse?

    Seek help and get on medication. I am not saying this as a put down, this is advice from someone who has sought help. I now make pretty much double what I used to make before I sought help if that might help motivate you. You don't have to deal with your problems on your own, and the correct medication can make a world of difference.
