  1. Re:Murica Fuck yea! on U.S. Teenagers Are Driving Much Less: 4 Theories About Why · · Score: 1

    If we abolished the Federal Reserve we wouldn't be accumulating nearly as much debt as we are now. For every dollar that the Federal Reserve prints out, the US Government promises to pay the Federal Reserve (a private banking cartel) back, with much interest.

    The amount of available solar energy decreases fast the further away from the Sun you get. This is why most of the planets are cold and lifeless. Jupiter only receives 1/27 the amount of sunlight that the Earth does.

    And there's no subscription fees for using the apps. Pioneer makes some real nice decks that cost about the same as upgrading the OEM deck to the app enabled model.

    Justice Roberts ruled that Obamacare constituted a tax, hence it is revenue.

    The House alone has authority to fund Obamacare lies with the house alone. And Justice Roberts never ruled the bill Constitutional, infact he said quite a bit to the contrary.

    He is not "spot on accurate". Maintaining corporate welfare and propping up the military-industrial complex are Republican policies.

    Then explain why the Pentagon spent over $5 Billion on weapons right before the shutdown with Obama at the helm?

  13. Re:old, really old, news on USAF Almost Nuked North Carolina In 1961 – Declassified Document · · Score: 3, Informative

    Most likely it was a safety feature since nukes have to be armed right before they are used. This is by design so that they do not go nuclear is the event of an accident such as this one.

    And yet here we have photo evidence of his wife firing a rifle in a negligent manner. Notice how she is not wearing any ear or eye protection and is shooting in what appears to be an unsafe direction (doesn't appear to be a backstop in that direction). I brought this hypocrisy to his attention on his Facebook page, and being as open to discussion as his is he simply deleted the post and banned my account from accessing his page.

    You can get better quality 1W lasers for much less from other vendors. Wicked Lasers products are quite cheaply made, tons of complaints about them being out of spec and breaking after minutes of use.
