  1. Mosquitoes going extinct would be a good thing on Google's Life Sciences Unit Is Releasing 20 Million Bacteria-Infected Mosquitoes in Fresno (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Mosquitoes being eliminated everywhere would have no negative effect on the ecosystems. Mosquitoes aren't a significant food source for any animals and well they are just blood sucking disease carriers.

    Oh go fuck yourself snowflake. Do you even know what a useful idiot really is ? Nope you don't because you literally are just repeating the steaming pile of shit that comes out of the liberal press and hollywood. The only gaming of the system is by the liberal press , oh as far as 'ethical standards', there isn't any that exist on the left.

    No fucking idiot. Yes you are a fucking idiot for not even realizing it is impossible for the legislative branch to prevent the executive from sharing information for national defense. Secondly you are a fucking idiot and the editor for not even bothering to go see what it actually does. The bill is trying to cut funding to a russia/us cyber security group in the future, that doesn't even exist. It would be unconstitutional from the legislative branch to prevent executive from sharing information for national defense.

    *) Winston Churchill disagrees with you.
    *) FDR negotiated the territories such to not be surrounded by German territories if Britain had fallen.
    *) More allies would have fallen or ended in stalemate without supplies from the US.
    *)Very much a team effort, but US supplies put the Allies in the winning category. (luck really in that no enemy was close enough to harm our infrastructure.)
    *)Hitler was also big reason for the defeat, he was idiot for opening up a second front.

  7. So like a business you can be multiple places at the same time? Also for personal income tax you pay taxes to the country you spent the majority of your time.

    Property tax is NOT the same as income tax. A levy is the ability to seize your property for paying off an owed property tax.

    DC doesn't have state income tax . Washington State doesn't have income tax either. I could see an issue with a State income tax and city income tax, but comparing it to DC isn't an equal comparison. I do have a general problem with the "tax the rich" , eventually you will run out of "rich people" in the city.

  20. Question a bit of the accuracy of testing on Airport Security Fails 17 Times Out of 18 In Minneapolis (fox9.com) · · Score: 1

    Only issue I see with this testing is none of the undercover testers would present the typical behavioral clues of a true drug smuggler/bomber. The undercover testers do not have to really worry about being caught, thus act the perfect criminals, which rarely exists. Hopefully the undercover screeners have a few that try to play the part of being nervous.

    It's very easy to get a car to last 20+ years now. The polluting nature of Western world to just want to throw something away just for something new and exciting, that is basically has no real differences in 20 years, and ends up being worse.
