    Not necessarily. It seems likely to me that once the reservoirs were full, the oil seeped elsewhere, where it was either oxidized on the surface, or pulled back below.

    Trying to reason that the fill is slow from the fact that the reservoirs exist is like trying to determine the rate of water flowing out of a faucet by examining the size of a water glass.

    Uhhh, that would be no-one, and donation to a private tracker isn't paying for downloads (as not everything on the trackers is pirated), and using some of your bandwidth isn't "paying".

    So stop being pedantic. These "pirates" aren't making any money, except through advertising. If you want to go after someone for doing something illegal, go after the advertisers. Leave the regular people alone.

    What it means is that he can't figure out anything else, so he misuses the term to pretend like there are many more examples out there.

    And you're right, it is neither sarcasm nor irony, it's sardonism. Look it up.

    I never heard of either of them, nor have I heard of this "etc" you refer to.

    "Court orders" could always shut down websites, or do anything else in compliance with the law. If these websites are really doing something illegal, then why this law? Something stinks. Smells like totalitarianism.

    And what procedures are in place to make sure this isn't abused? Can /b/tards get google, whitehouse.gov, or some other random website taken down with this? Sure sounds like it.

    Such revolutionary thought! We could end unemployment! Just take little things that everyone knows how to do, and require several years of school for them to do it! We can have in house sandwich making professionals because stupid us might get some bacteria in there and poison ourselves!

    Think about how rich we would all be with all these servants, and our own drivers! Because consumption creates wealth, right? Jobs are all we need, no need to make anything useful, right?

    Let's start with abolishing the apartheid there.

    Note that prior to the arrival of the first zionists in the late 1800's, Muslims and Jews lived together peacefully for hundreds of years. In fact, a large number of the so called Palestinians are descended from Jewish Israelis who converted their religion. In effect, they are being oppressed by Israel because they changed their religion, something we in America view as barbaric. Yet we condone it, because the blinking boxes tell us Israel good, anything that doesn't like Israel anti-Semite. This despite the fact that Arabs are semites as well.

    They never stopped. Maybe you don't remember, be we were running some 100 sorties per month over the skies of Iraq, and bombing sites on occasion.

    I would argue that YOU aren't rational. When someone refuses to accept the fact that a human is a human, instead trying to ascribe to them some demonic or animalistic characteristic so that they can continue killing them is one of the worst forms of insanity.

    For extra fun, name ONE incident where muslims attacked Americans in America before the founding of Israel. One terrorist incident. Hell, one murder based on religion. There were none.

    Further, Iraqis weren't involved in 9/11. It was all Saudis. Why didn't we invade Saudi Arabia? Because Bush was pissed off that Saddam had tried to assassinate his daddy. Funny that he employed Don Rumsfeld to that ends, since Rumsfeld was one of those responsible for installing Sadaam in the first place. You see, Sadaam was installed by the CIA after they assassinated their democratically elected president. In a very real way, Iraq was a puppet government with the US pulling the strings. Sadaam just got too big for his britches.

    Iraq, Gaza, and the West bank to start. We also overthrew democratically elected governments pretty much everywhere else in the thirty years before that, and we have been propping up the House of Saud for decades as well.

    Or did you think people just kill themselves for no personal reason because the blinking box tells you so?

    And yet they never set off to Attack America until 30 years after we started heavily intervening in their affairs.

    Guess what? If you leave them to their own affairs, they will turn toward killing each other. As much as they believe in spreading religion by the sword, what they believe in more is power, and that lust for power leads to war between their tribes. If they overcome that lust for power, then they won't be a threat anyways.

    Alternatively, you could easily have flights that do have the invasive security, and others that don't. There is no need to have the government involved in this. They hire the worst kind of minimum wage layabouts to do a job that should be done by professionals, as is the case with El Al.

    Understand that since education was socialized in the 70's with the creation of the Department of education, the US has gone from having the best primary education in the developed world, to the worst. Our medical system is already broken from a hundred years of fascism under the ADA (http://mises.org/daily/4276).

    Well, you can tell the good folks at the TSA to be sure to shoot any children on motorcycles.
