  7. The most ridiculous liberal myth on Mind Control Delusions and the Web · · Score: 1

    It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy's Roommate? God Almighty!) Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors .. the next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt .45 and a .38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you. Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night! Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.

  12. Re:Food, water, shelter not necessary. Nokia 6220! on Cellphone Banking Helping To Fight Poverty In India · · Score: 1

    Food and water are necessary of course. I haven't heard of any recent famines in India.

    You guess correctly. India hasn't had a famine in recent memory. The last one was in the 70's I think.

    I suspect that "shelter" as defined in India is different though. I bet they don't have car dependant McMansion neighborhoods there.

    You are mostly correct, but it depends on whether you are talking about urban or rural places. But generally people walk or take the bus. Railways form an important part of Indian life. More people=less space for each person. Everyone generally lives with their families/friends, and it is rare for people to live alone.

    You probably have smaller apartments, denser cities, and I bet their public transportation doesn't suck.

    The major cities (Bombay, Delhi) have excellent public transport. Over 80% of people use them everyday.

  13. Re:Food, water, shelter not necessary. Nokia 6220! on Cellphone Banking Helping To Fight Poverty In India · · Score: 1

    Cheap phones in India cost less than $100. It is a valuable investment especially if you use the phone for conducting business. Farmers can get updates on the best areas to sell their fruits and vegetables, women are empowered to start more small scale businesses.

    But judging from your post, I'm guessing you wouldn't know anything about investments.

    The flash players on the Colbert Report and The Daily Show sites require 1Mb for uninterrupted viewing. In fact, I think all of comedycentral.com has that requirement. I'm not sure what they do with that much memory(I dont trust Viacom). Its not mandatory, but they show an annoying prompt each time you load a new video, unless you agree to raise the limit from 100Kb to 1Mb.
