I find it heartbreaking how fucking stupid ass ACs don't understand that "green" doesn't mean "this product was the result of unicorn shit and fairy farts and no fossils were burned to make this".
Well, first of all NatGas is extracted through pipelines, so no. Also, oil is shipped long distances via trains. Finally, until you can drill a well through a pipeline, then you're you are missing (by far) the largest road cost: the 600-1600 truck loads of drilling equipment required for EACH well.

Methinks you lack imagination or a basic appreciation of history. Humans existed for quite some time before the advent of the fiction we call "corporations", and there is no reason we cannot invent other systems of capital organization that have different operating characteristics.
What it is you find so amazingly wonderful about the Corporation that you feel we simply cannot survive without?
Spare me your condescension and don't get all pissy at me because you said something stupid and demonstrably wrong. I don't need an explanation of how it works. I can read the 12th Amendment.
The EC exists to give votes from smaller states more weight in the total. I get it. But that means by definition, a vote from Rhode Island is worth more than a vote from California. Eliminating the EC would give those votes the same weight. Note that I am NOT calling for the elimination of the EC, or even it's reform. I'm only pointing out that 1 equals 1.
What you want to do is eliminate the college so California votes will count for much more than the rest of the county
Actually, eliminating the EC will make California votes count exactly as much as the rest of the country. 1 vote in California will equal 1 vote from Rhode Island or Alaska.
Not all physical conditions are expressed via genetics. We have things like epigenes, proteins and environmental factors and about a gazllion other things that change someone's "physical condition".
Without observing a person's behavior or asking them, how could you possibly determine sexual preference? It is not an objective condition
What difference does it make if sexual orientation is objective or subjective, or both?
How does the observableness of a thing affect it's subjectivity/objectivity?
Who (other than self-righteous assholes) gives a flying fuck if being gay or straight is a choice?
Has it ever occurred to you that the act of sex is a choice, but the preference for sexual partners isn't? I.e. someone is capable of choosing a sexual partner that isn't their preference?
You seem to be confusing "perfect" with "good". There is no such thing as a silver bullet possible in any of the problems created by the Second Amendment -- only useful tools. Like serial numbers. Nobody claims serial numbers are always useful; only sometimes useful, and that's good enough to justify their existence.
Typical Clintonian excuse. "As far as we know" doesn't mean shit
Typical Trump 2016 response. "As far as we know" means exactly that. You going on to state a list of (uncited) indicators does not mean we know things were stolen. Since a negative can never be proven, your attempt to introduce a probability into the equation is fallacious.
But being a leftwinger, you probably do not understand the word "obligation" in this context
I'm curious how you identified an AC as a "leftwinger" for your condescending remark? As far as I can see, the only thing you have to go on is his logical repetition of the facts of the matter disagree with your dislike of Secretary Clinton.
Tell the FDA to stop requiring the same drug to be re-approved by each vendor in a very expensive and years-long process and instead switch to the presumption that THE DRUG ITSELF
They already do this; it's called the Abbreviated New Drug Application. This process was created as a result of an act of Congress, so if you have a problem with it, talk to Congress.
It was a further government encroachment and step to even further government meddling that keeps making things worse, and would only exacerbate the core problem created by our "friends" in places like the UK and Canada who do it.
lolWUT??? Every corporation in the world that negotiates prices is an efficient enterprise, but when a government agency does it, it's "meddling in the free market"? What the fuck kind of idiocy is this? Do you honestly expect people to be stupid enough to believe that if foreign governments were as stupid as we are in drug pricing policy, that the pharma companies would lower our prices? Do you honestly expect people to be stupid enough to believe that the prices charged have ANY relation to R&D costs? Have you seen the Pfizer, Novartis or Roche P&Ls?
We're getting pedantic. The vast, VAST majority of "autopilots" in the world today are 2 or 3 axis (pitch, roll and possibly yaw). They aren't "intelligent" in terms of doing anything more than taking inputs from the VSI, compass, altimeter and autogyro and leveling the wings, keeping a set altitude/attitude and centering the ball. Just because a tiny fraction of autopilots can do Cat IIIc autolanding and some hook up with TCAS and/or ADS-B doesn't make them fucking aircraft pilots. And yet this little magic black box is still called an "autopilot" and nobody gives 2 shits about it, even when it's the cause of a crash.
In the same manner, people losing their shit about Tesla's use of a moniker that's been used for 50 years for something that was less sophisticated than my ancient IBM Selectric typewriter are fucking morons. If the name was "DoobaDooba" instead of "Autopilot", the same idiots would STILL be doing the same dumbfuck things and getting into the same dumbfuck accidents.
The "autopilot" in a plane is not a pilot, and the "autopilot" in a Tesla is not a driver. Please stop perpetuating this monstrously stupid double standard.

Meanwhile, in the real world, adults debate without resorting to absolutes and straw men. You should try it.
In other news, scientists proclaim that water is wet.
YouTube is your friend (unless you're an artist).

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the idea of "history"?
Those things will never change. So yea, he will always get the blame for them, because that's how history works.
Good lord! A FACT! A FACT! Right here on /.!!! A goddamned, honest-to-goodness FACT!
You must be old here.
Aw jeez Donald, don't you have a business to bankrupt? Here's a clue, you can't have it both ways. You can't in one breath say
and than in the next breath say
Because action "A" is directly contradicting claim "B".
Damn, I never have mod points when I want them!
Ha! My videos get more than TWICE that many views!

Or, you know, able to see.
Islam is a religion, not a race. It's something you believe, not something you are.
Donald? Is that you? Don't you have an intelligence briefing to blow off?
That's what I love about Trump supporters -- they are so gracious in victory.
Washing with Ad Hominem soap gets cleans nothing. It only makes you look like an AC idiot.

Seconded @jcr's point (who gives a fuck if he signs or not?), and only an asshole trolls the point.
