  1. Re:It's finally time on Feds Say It's Time To Cut Back On Fluoride In Drinking Water · · Score: 1

    No, only foolish doctors want single payer; the rest realize the obvious end game-- doctors becoming government slaves, completely dependent, poorly paid and with minimal decision-making capacity for themselves and their patients. The healthcare marketplace should be a FREE market with full price competition, like any other. "Insured everywhere for everything".... so naive. Look at Medicaid and Medicare--impossible to get good care with the former, and doctors dropping coverage for the latter. Good hospitals will become average hospitals; good doctors will become average doctors, because there won't be enough money to maintain high quality care.

  3. Re:Hell No Hillary on Hillary Clinton Declares 2016 Democratic Presidential Bid · · Score: 1

    And I hate that liberals set such a low standard for every aspect of governance, leadership, personal integrity, moral concerns...such that you are content with the status quo of people being killed every certain period of time. So much for 'progressivism.'

  4. Re:FFS on Researchers: Alcohol Health Risks Underestimated, Marijuana Relatively Safe · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Your arguments are invalid. You are incorrectly equating heroin to morphine. Heroin is both a stronger opioid and more short-acting, making it more addictive. Morphine and other opioids used for chronic medical conditions are not addictive in the same sense because the brain does not receive a pharmacologically intense pleasure signal, which is the basis of addiction. (They do cause physical dependence, which results effectively in addiction.)

  5. Re:Knowledge on How the Internet Is Taking Away America's Religion · · Score: 1

    You are clearly not aware of how the Bible "described things". It speaks extensively of knowledge and often teases the reader of 2000 years ago about the poor scientific understanding of those times. Generations of scientists were inspired by it to unravel God's mysteries. For today's cold-hearted scientists to reject that source of inspiration is a loss, not a gain.

  6. Re:Whatever on Religion Is Good For Your Brain · · Score: 2

    I do think this is about the solitary aspects. Faith and prayer, in its true form, is personal and a very cognitive process, like solving a problem or writing. It involves the mind much more than social activities.

  7. Re:science has no defense against hooliganism on Publishers Withdraw More Than 120 Fake Papers · · Score: 2

    Peer review, which does not protect against purposeful fraudulent papers

    We aren't talking about fraudulent papers; we're talking about joke papers that aren't even reviewed, so much as proofread and rubber-stamped.

  8. witness Sony's death throes on Sony Selling Off VAIO Computer Business · · Score: 1

    Vaios are good looking, well-engineered, well-built. (Not considering what another said about repair accessibility.) Unlike all other Sony products, the Vaio brand exceeeds the offerings of the competition. With this move, Sony is now entirely irrelevant.

  9. Re:Please pray with me for Curiosity's wheels. on Rough Roving: Curiosity's Wheel Damage 'Accelerated' · · Score: 2

    It is not remotely a threat to religious doctrine because it will never find life.

  10. a change is gonna come on AMD Unveils New Family of GPUs: Radeon R5, R7, R9 With BF 4 Preorder Bundle · · Score: 1

    I am starting to distrust the Radeon brand. Look at their decrepit website—clearly AMD is under poor management. They are a near–penny stock and haven't even thought to improve their marketing image. I've always bought Radeon cards, but an idiot could see that the GPU market is ready for a landscape change.

  11. Zuck don't care on Facebook Could Spawn Thousands of Milionaires · · Score: 1

    I think it's dishonorable that facebook has no intention of offering its first users ("customers") purchase rights in the IPO. It would be nowhere if young people hadn't adopted it eagerly all those years ago.

  12. Re:well duh. on Hawking Picks Physics Over God For Big Bang · · Score: 1

    Believing that gravity has always existed is no different than believing that God has always existed. Both are an all-encompassing force with no clearly defined origin.
