It will immediately cause a drop in oil prices before a single drop of oil is extracted.
it wont. even if you legislate it now, the first drop of oil to come from offshore drilling is to arrive in no earlier than 5 years. everyone and their dog knows that, and markets are not stupid either.
being free to discuss something opens up possibilities for many points of view, in which there would be a noticeable number of teachers who would express favorable views of creationism. which would be little different than letting them teach it.
its the same as saying nazizm should be allowed as an ideology. because, its just an ideology.
stuff starts that way. if creationism is even 'discussed' at schools, it gives a bonus to the segments of the society who are trying to brainwash kids with it. +5 to persuasion, for it was also in school, so it should be credible.
as an idiot, i have the balls to post my opinions with my identity attached. you, on the other hand, insult people while remaining anonymous. lets see, in my book that trumps up whatever you have to say.
it was totally a lack of regulation and oversight. ie - LAW's rule.
it doesnt matter whether the event stemmed from a malicious intent, or with the best of intentions. what matters is, regardless of intentions, it happened, and it is bringing the whole world down.
Moneywise, I can't support a candidate who promises to tax the bejeezus out of my bracket, give the windfall to a bunch of clowns with a 14 percent approval rating (Congress), and hope they spend it wisely.
Unfortunately, the alternative to the guy who promises to pillage my wallet is a lukewarm cadaver. I'm in trouble either way.
if you check out those sentences, you may think that the republican administrations up to date, especially this administration, havent taken cash out of his pocket. and democrats, supposedly, take cash from your pocket, and give it to senate to waste. how simple. but also, how stupid.
yea republican administration didnt increase your taxes, up until now. but what did they do instead ? they used EXISTING public funds and wasted them on foreign wars and crap, totaling to $400bn/year for iraq, ALONE.
spent money, has to come from somewhere, right ? sure. and since these republicans are the puppet of big business, and they cant tax them, and since they wont tax you also, what can they do ? they used existing public funds from ELSEWHERE. juggled all kinds of government funds, issued bonds, sold bonds to chinese and so on.
i dont think there is anybody among you who would be stupid as to not understand that these spendings, these debts are going to be paid from somewhere.
from where ?
not the little green men, for sure. YOU are going to pay it. EVEN IF it doesnt come directly from your pocket in the form of taxes.
and here you have, a financial disaster, in which you not only sank yourselves, but dragged ENTIRE world down with you. what a shame, what ignorance, what foolishness. EVERYone of us on the globe, suffering because of this.
'deregulation' 'hands off business'...
economy is another SOCIAL aspect of human life. as with every social aspect of life, because there are more than one person involved, there are going to be opportunists, schemers, bastards, criminals, fraudsters, every kind of people.
if you do "hands off", that basically means that all these ill willed elements of the society will be free to roam as they like in that field of life.
and so it did happen. some smartyboys came up with a scheme to make quick bucks over another segment of society, painted some high risk loans so nicely that low income people were lured to take them, and then also sold bonds tied to these high risk loans not only nationally but internationally. and, because 'hands off business', they werent regulated, overseen, controlled and checked if they were attempting anything fishy.
way to go.
now we are all headed towards the bottom of the trash can, globally.
and yet, a person like scott adams, STILL talks about 'take money from my pocket with taxes'.
HELLOOOOOOOO !!!?!?!?! with this goddamn global crisis, more cash is going to get out of your pocket than democrats can EVER tax out of you !!!
holy cow.
people, it happened. it should NOT have happened, but it happened.
so please, this time, be smart, think long term, and elect someone who is not as idiot as to still say "deregulation" every other sentence.
the stupid paranoia you employ in u.s. towards other ethnicities or countries, do not exist elsewhere in the world. at least not in the psychopath form you have in the u.s.
each country in this small planet are neighbors of each other. rest of the world wants GOOD NEIGHBORS. nobody likes a bad neighbor. think of your neighborhood and what kind of person you would want to see there.
bush was a bad neighbor. mccain, is not even a neighbor, he is probably not for long on this world. one foot in the grave. if he lived, he would be a stupid, and a bad neighbor. the hag he has in his ticket, is worse. a religious version of a crazy cat lady.
we dont want that kind of shit. we want people who are REASONABLE, who knows to talk, who we can trade with, and ally with.
choice is yours. world can do well without united states - there is eu now, and there are southeastern asian economies. a lot of economies are emerging in africa.
you can either join in with the rest of us and prosper together, or you can elect a dead man and a religious hag and isolate yourselves. your country, your call.
the trash in administration as of now have weakened your country in every aspect of international relations to the extent that everyone hates you unanimously. as a result all your positions ranging from military alliances to trade relations suffered.
mccain, is more of the same crap.
with obama, you have the chance to prove youre a good neighbor. nobody likes bad neighbors.
many would be torrenting it anyway. many PAY to rapidshare and like services to get storage to let friends dl.
instead, they will just pay 15 bucks to the provider, and they'll get unlimited high quality stuff.
shared web hosting outlets are going through hoops to sell $3/mo hosting to people, by giving them whopass space and transfer.
DESPITE that, shared web hosting industry is a huge industry.
and, the amount of transfer these people would make while using this service would be negligible compared to what the shared hosting industry having to give out in order to earn 3 bucks a month.
FIVE times the income, at a fraction of cost. thats a whopass deal.
It would serve as a good reminder to corporate interests, domestic and abroad, that they operate at the will of the citizens of countries that protect them.
excuse me, WHAT are you doing as citizen to protect them ? pray tell us.
as of now a number of filthy bastards you name senators are in the process of putting out SO bad a law that, it will almost kill all kinds of businesses on the internet, 'to protect jobs'. it has a good name too - copyright cops.
what the hell are you 'citizens' doing, to prevent google from this onslaught.
hell, what are you doing to protect YOURSELF from this ?
google's cash can buy them defense assistance of any country. they can go to french guyana, and you can find french frigates guarding them. all it takes is a good investment, or another form of financial incentive.
the copyright cops crap, other anti net neutrality and privacy paranoia they are pushing etc, it was inevitable that google (and soon others) would say enough of this crap.
the bastards who are pushing copyright cops crap are saying it is "to protect jobs". imagine the jobs that are lost when google datacenters (and others too) moves offshore.
how many 'jobs' does music industry provide anyway ? a total load of crap compared to the internet services. yes it is.
but they brought this on themselves. they should explain to their constituents how this will 'protect jobs'.

what about a good number of teachers who would express positive views of creationism when the topic is brought up ?
being free to discuss something opens up possibilities for many points of view, in which there would be a noticeable number of teachers who would express favorable views of creationism. which would be little different than letting them teach it.
jesus of nazareth says that there is a single 'god' entity, it sent him as its ambassador, and it asks you to obey some rules. thats no philosophy.
its the same as saying nazizm should be allowed as an ideology. because, its just an ideology.

anyone who puts religious convictions or beliefs higher than their science, are not worthy of any scientific post.

he would do a very good planetary president, or un general secretary.
come on. this is will wright. somebody else was gonna fund it, be it ea or another.
spore idea was on his mind for a long time. but it didnt mature into fruition until lately.
ea didnt take any chances with mass effect. it was funded by microsoft.
the trash in administration as of now have weakened your country in every aspect of international relations to the extent that everyone hates you unanimously. as a result all your positions ranging from military alliances to trade relations suffered.
mccain, is more of the same crap.

you should take some time to develop the balls needed to voice your opinion with your own identity.

EA has a bad habit of screwing everything they put their hands on. look at spore and how did it end up.
so what did they accomplish ? nothing.
they could be making effortless billions by now. morons.
such is the way of the self centered. while trying to get their own way all the time, they damage their own interests.
and it sucks hard. takes too much time.
It would serve as a good reminder to corporate interests, domestic and abroad, that they operate at the will of the citizens of countries that protect them.
