And I've always wondered why people think that it is cool to use single width fonts in their posts. If people wanted to read text like that they would configure their browsers to display text that way. I suspect that it is just another form of karma-whoring, formatting posts so as to grab attention.
You seem to be missing my point that calling alcohol harmless in the context of a substance abuse discussion is so fucking ignorant it's absurd.
But it is amusing to see how many times you will respond to me, digging yourself deeper and deeper into the hole you are too blissfully stupid to be aware you are in.
But it's amusing how many times you will call *me* stupid while not realizing that was the original point.
The syntax of that sentance seems to indicate that your original "point" is that you are in fact stupid. If that is the case then I can't really argue it, though you seem to have been to stupid to properly word that point initially.
Oh who am I kidding, I've met dogs that appear more self-aware than you.
When I was on my highschool swimteam, a well known trick was to hyperventilate prior to diving underwater. Apparently hyperventilation temporarily decreases the CO2/O2 ratio in your bloodstream, allowing you to comfortably hold your breath longer. Eventually you will feel the need to go up for air, but if you are not careful you can begin to blackout before the sensation is overwelming (whereas normally it requires an incredible amount of willpower to drown yourself in shallow water.)
For obvious reasons, I don't suggest you actually attempt this while underwater, but try timing yourself while sitting at your desk.
This is where I educated your pathetic ass. It is not a question of what you should have said, but rather what you should have not said. I should have realized such concepts are far above you though.
Playing an idiot and being corrected is hardly in intelligent troll. Barely worthy of the moderation flamebait really.
Of course, everything is relative. I think the real meaning of the quote though, which the person to which I was responding seemed to be missing, is the importance of the presumption of innocence.
using animals for experimentation with no ethical concerns whatsoever
You make the common mistake of confusing "no ethics" with "ethics that differ from my own".
For example, I would personally slaughter every last kitten on earth if it would save a single child with cancer. That does not mean I am without ethics, but rather that according to my concept of ethics, a human life is worth an incredible ammount of animal lifes.
Well then what is your threshhold? Is it better to let 5 innocent men suffer than let 10 guilty men go free? Is it better to let 10 innocent men suffer than let 10 guilty men go free?
Why don't we just imprison everybody, just to make sure a handful of guilty men don't get through the cracks?
Ah of course, all of those PhDs and researchers at Oklahoma State University have been wasting their time. They should have just asked robinstar1574 on slashdot if it was possible.
This is certainly true, but at least then people could chose to ignore the Factually Incorrect moderation. Right now if people chose to ignore troll or flamebait, they get crapflooded by all the stuff that deserved to be modded that way.
I always figured sarcasm was a form of humor, so I mod good sarcastic posts +1 Funny. If the post is not actually funny, then chances are it's a troll, or at least flamebait. Barring both of those, and if it makes a good point, then +1 Insightful or Interesting work well.
What we really need is a -1 Factually Incorrect. (and no, Flamebait/Troll don't cover it. Overrated is... well, an overrated mod)
Wow, you clearly are not a rocket scientist are you? Rockets always carry their own oxidizers. How do you think we landed on the moon, that place doesn't even have an atmosphere.
Comparing alcohol with coffee or marijuana when talking about addiction makes you very very stupid. Unlike coffee addiction (or marijuana addiction, which does not exist in the chemical sense), alcohol addiction is a very serious affliction which affects millions of people worldwide. The situation is only exasperated by idiots like you who like to downplay it, intentionally or otherwise.
It is little wonder that people don't take the legalization of marijuana seriously, with dumbasses like you advocating it.
The Patriot Act is intended to focus on groups of people organizing to carry out a planned action. It doesn't do anything for single crazy acting on their own.
And yet the FBI had plenty of tips about the hijackers before the actual attack.
I don't disagree with your general premise, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how your statement logically contradicts his.
I'm presuming that the 'hijackers' you are referring to are the 9/11 hijackers. That was a case of a group of organized people, not a single crazy person. The failure of the FBI to act indicates something wrong with the system as it was at the time. It does not seem to indicate that the patriot act was meant to counter single crazy people, nor does it indicate that the Patriot Act not was at least intended to to focus on organized groups of people. (I do not believe the GP was attempting to make any sort of statement about the effectiveness of the Patriot Act in its apparent intended focus).
I'm just not seeing how "the patriot act was not meant to catch individual crazies" and "the FBI failed to stop the 9/11 attacks despite tipoffs" are mutually exclusive. Genuinely curious as to what you were driving at here.
1) Competition in the private rocketry sector is a good thing, for all of the reasons capitalism at all is a good thing. 2) It would not terribly suprize me if part of this new budget went towards new contracts with SpaceX for a new HLV. They already have numerous contracts with them, hardly "getting in the way". 3) You can't get shit done in space without a HLV.
Sentences should be given for deterrence or containment. Not retribution.
How about we kill the fucks. Nice, clean, and painless. The illness in society they represent is contained and those hurt by their crimes can feel some sort of justice.
In that case, I stand corrected. Regardless though, a statement calling Isreal a "self declared state" is in bad faith. Their legitimacy as a country is questioned by few, boarders are certainly disputed, but they are in fact a real country that is recognized by the UN.

Pretty annoying if you ask me.
I would assume he meant he was agreeing with with his GP, not with himself.

An ammendment to the bill requires a second tattoo, explaining the dangers of cancer associated with tattooing.

He is making blanket statements without qualification and I am making a point that ethics are perspective.
Would I slaughter every kitten on earth for eye-liner? No. Would someone that would be "without ethics"? Of course not.

No, you brought up alcohol, at the same time you brought up coffee. Go read your post.

By "get shit done" I of course mean "make progress", not "maintain the status quo".
1) Competition in the private rocketry sector is a good thing, for all of the reasons capitalism at all is a good thing.

Methinks he did that simply for the benfit of the reader. throttleBandwidth(50); could mean any number of things.
How about we kill the fucks. Nice, clean, and painless. The illness in society they represent is contained and those hurt by their crimes can feel some sort of justice.
Best of both worlds.
You do realize it was resolved less than a week after being discovered right?
Not that it wasn't a big deal, as a Fedora user I can honestly say I was livid...
