Why be informed when you can blindly follow what your preacher/McCarthy told you in the morning about the evil Russian empire and its love for unicorn blood.
Funny:) As a centirist, atheist, Canadian citizen originally born into a communist nation, I can honestly say that the willful pig-headed ignorance of the Tea Party is only eclipsed by individuals such as yourself.
If we can spend over $600 billion per year on the military, surely we have a couple of billion per year to develop the energy sources we're going to need this century.
Yeah, and if you can afford to spend $20,000 a year on rent, utilities, and food, you can afford to give me $5,000 so I can do... stuff.
The phrase implies the existence of a time when things were better. You don't go around saying "what a sad time we live in, when only 90% of us can have broadband access". It would be retarded. So no, assuming that he meant what he wrote is not "non sequitur at best" - it's common fucking sense. Whereas being a silly pedant is useless, at best.
The 6 billion or so half-evolved pink monkeys currently infesting it might not fare so well, but the planet will recover once they die off. We. I mean... "we"... die off. Yeah.
Meh. It wouldn't be the end of our species either. Even if we lose 5 billion to thirst and starvation, the remaining 1 billion will be just fine. No, momma nature can't kill us off at this point - if we go, it will either be death-from-the-skies, or thermonuclear warfare.
Robot Chicken had it right. If someone like that showed up to protect me, fighting Terminators would most definitely not be her primary job.
Yeah, an awkward sociopath hovering halfway between completely emotionless and typical-emo, with a face the looks like it caught fire and was put out with rusty chains. I could think of lots of other uses for her. Scarecrow. Halloween decoration. Chase-those-damn-kids-off-my-yard tool...
No. If you take a test and score too low, you get rejected, so we've already established that you're allowed to discriminate by IQ / intelligence. If you're saying that it's discriminatory to disqualify people who score too high, then you can't justify disqualifying people who score too low, either.

I agree - you don't need a new car, so the US obviously doesn't need a military. Please disband it. We promise to protect your borders for you.

Amen! Preach it brother! Down with Palin; vote for Stalin!
Thanks for demonstrating the ease with which a fool can be separated from his money.
Personally, I wouldn't be waiting for the government to tell me to move far, far away from a nuclear disaster site.
Personally, I welcome the opportunity to buy you house for 1/4th the pre-disaster market value.
It's a win-win situation!
See, this is why the human race is doomed
No, this is why the human race is FUCKING AWESOME!!!!
I forgive you.
Here, have a quarter.
You are simply adorable, trying to insult me by implying that I am unemployed.
I did no such thing - I'm simply asking you to go do your "work" on a different car.
Last I heard it was going to be more expensive than the F-22.
A source would be nice. Even the most pessimistic estimates I've seen still put it at less than half the price of the F-22.
I totally do not work for Lockheed Martin and have no interest in promoting their excellent products...
Obviously. Now put away that squeegee - I already told you my windshield is fine.
Sprechen Sie English?
It wasn't my cat, but Schrödinger might be a bit miffed since he preferred it both alive and dead at the same time.
That's just something he came up with so he wouldn't have to explain death to his kids.
"Daddy, what's wrong with Mr. Whiskers?" ..."
"Well, see, if we put him in this box
This is the kind of comment that gets you slapped with a trout.

It's some sad times we live in that such a concern would ever cross the minds of a regular citizen who is not a career criminal.
Right; because innocent people never got hung back in the good ol' days.
What planet are you living on, anyway?

... but didn't think there would be this social need for a low uid until later ...
Seems like a silly trend. Honestly, I've never understood why anyone would want to advertise being senile ....
+1 Completely-missing-the-point award. Double nice.
*facepalm*
Hey, people used to decorate plates with uranium, so all your plates are probably bad. Better toss 'em out.
I think he may have been joking. But I'm not certain enough to give you the ol' "WHOOSH".
I resent the presumption that asking for alternative points of view puts you on the lunatic fringe.
Yeah, all lunatics say that.

The Earth nutters just bitch and complain about nothing.
