Our knowledge is nowhere near thorough enough to make a call like that. We've identified 250 planetary systems, all closer than 100 light years, and we haven't even begun to image terrestrial-type planets yet. Saying this would be like saying all the beaches of the Earth are composed of igneous black sand on the basis of the black sand beach in Hawaii. We still only have a couple of pieces, it's a bit premature to say what the puzzle is a picture of.
Bureaucracy and the lack of any kind of desire to improve our crumbling infrastructure. Nobody sees the long term in this country, all they worry about is how full they can stuff their pockets right now. Spend some money now to improve society for the future? Fuck that, you're not eating away at MY profit margin. Short-sighted money grubbing pricks is all that's left of this country. Maybe when our woefully outdated national power grid starts collapsing we'll do something about it, but not before it becomes a crisis. Broadband? Good luck.

Better hope your kidneys never go bad or you never need an MRI or CAT scan. And don't wear those Nikes or use anything with velcro. Don't watch weather forecasts anymore either, in fact, just turn off the TV permanently. And while I'm at it, don't ever play golf, go swimming, fly a plane, wear a helmet, use a watch, use an air conditioner, become a firefighter, or feed a baby. Oh yeah, and get off the computer.
I hoped someone would point this out. We'll wipe ourselves out within 500 years. No more humans, zip, zero, kaputski. We should be more concerned about how we're going to warn the next species that rises up about our mess, assuming that our demise doesn't take the rest of the biosphere with it.
Start assassinating some of these fucking degenerate spammer asshole motherfuckers and watch the junk disappear. Seriously, these cocksuckers need to be burned at the stake. Blackwater would prally do it.
Yeah, and presenting yourself as a holier-than-thou knowitall really impresses people too. I HAVE read it, I don't like it. Neither would anyone with any sort of respect for basic civil liberties. Liberals, conservatives, they're all fuckwits who've used FUD to leverage their own agendas, increase their power and influence, and screw everyone else. Your evidently a conservative, aren't you supposed to be the one in favor of smaller, less intrusive government? Pro-criminal liberal...whatever, Rush.
Has anyone noticed an apparent network throttling issue with roadrunner when running a bittorrent client? I noticed it started a few months ago, whenever azureus is running, web pages take retardedly long times to load, if at all, usually they just time out. As soon as I shut down azureus, everything comes up fine. I've noticed TW seems to be keeping pretty quiet about the issue, I'm wondering if this decision will make my page loads return to normal.
Hey if you want to live in a fucking police state, move to China. Me, I'll take my chances with the fucking terrorists. Unlike you, I'm not pissing my pants in fear about them (guess what, that's what they wanted you to do). The unchecked expansion of the powers of the government, however, scare the shit out of me. Keep your fucking head in the sand, it makes it easier for them to ram that dictator up your ass.

Congress approves the budget, it's drawn up by the executive.
You're right and make a good point, but I just have to say Colin Quinn was never funny. Not even on Caroline's.
Damn, beat me to it. Let me just add, fuck Rupert Murdoch.
What do you mean start? They've been ripping up the dems since they took Congress.
Extreme leftist? Dude, please. Go back to civics class and read up.
Ah yes, hooray for Wikiality.
His gut told him it happened, so it happened.
The Fourth Estate was bought off by the Second years ago. Only in the purview of the court jester can truth be found now.
Damn right. He made accumulating national debt the national pastime.
True. It just reminds me of about 15 years ago when they thought planetary formation was a rare occurrence in the cosmos.

Why...is it against the law to bring a shopping cart full of computer equipment into an airport?
Of course it is. Doing anything odd or unusual or that makes someone confused or uncomfortable is terrorism.
and faggot
Martian Microbrew, hell yeah. Tharsis Lager. Ales Marineris!
Implies? Or implodes?
You'd have more luck sending them a bill for it.
How were they "substantially harmed"?
IMHO, your HO is an idiot.

that's why [insert deity here] gave us imaginations and the ability to fantasize
*sigh* reality sucks
