  1. Re:Why... on US House Science Committee Member: Evolution Is a Lie From Hell · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Seems more likely that the "Big Bang" was actually the formation of an event horizon as seen from the inside. The universe is probably fractal in nature. That is the only system that I know of that can explain time that doesn't have a beginning or end, yet can appear to have a start time.

    A grassroots organization is a parasite?

    What?

    Also, the Tea Party movement got taken over by the big boys in the party. This guy came in in 2007, well before the Tea Party. He just jumped on their coattails to gain political capital, while not ascribing to any of their philosophies, which had nothing to do with religion.

    No, if you believe in an invisible being, then you believe in undetectable particles that only interact with our universe at the whim of some being that contains an infinite amount of energy, yet is totally undetectable.

    I'm pretty sure that everyone that isn't insane is actually an atheist. Those that claim otherwise are a lot more likely to simply believe in belief, rather than actually believing. If they REALLY believed, they would last about twenty minutes in the modern world before they were arrested for stoning someone to death for wearing tassels in the wrong place or some other such insane law from the Bible. Of course, that is Christians. I don't know much about the consequences of true belief in other religions.

    Funny how the "holy" wars continue under a Democratic president. Expand, even. Almost as if everything they say is a lie and they are all pursuing the same sinister motives, ie murdering brown people to steal their gold and maybe their oil, while breeding more resentment and war among those they are oppressing so they have a convenient external enemy that everyone can focus on, rather than realizing that their society is run by a bunch of inv=competent robot elders.

    Funny that you seem to think that the Republicans actually want a smaller government. Next you'll be telling me the Democrats actually want fewer wars and less intrusion into people's lives.

    There is NO DIFFERENCE between the "two" parties. If you want smaller government, you HAVE to vote third party. There is no other option, save to let the motherfucker burn.

    Hypocrite to the max! Not to mention flat out wrong.

    The only company anyone can point to as being a free market monopoly (created during the period that was the closest to a truly free market in human history, the US between the end of Reconstruction and the 1913 founding of the Federal Reserve) is Standard Oil. You know, the company that delivered to consumers ultra-high purity kerosene at a tenth of the price from before they were formed, while simultaneously creating the corporate research and development model that drove the US to become a technological superpower: http://www.thefreemanonline.org/columns/john-d-rockefeller-and-the-oil-industry/

    Microsoft wasn't a monopoly. They had competitors with products that were either inferior or too expensive. Once their competitors stepped up their game, they lost market share. Simple.

    That said, the government did help Microsoft gain market share by issuing and enforcing patents.

    Stop assuming the question. The government doesn't have to prevent the abuses because they DON'T HAPPEN.

    You can set up a pirate radio station for a few hundred dollars, and can set up small scale wireless internet for even less. A big tower and a few thousand will let you service a whole city. Your whole argument is asinine. Telecom works fine in Somalia, despite constant war, invasion, and insurgency for the last 25 years. Regulation is clearly not needed in this space. They made it work despite numerous obstacles we don't face.

    Somalia has the most advanced wireless infrastructure in sub saharan Africa (source: http://www.budde.com.au/Research/Somalia-Telecoms-Mobile-and-Broadband.html).

    So your argument is not based on reality, but rather your own imagination (something common to people justifying government intrusion in private matters).

    Three light minutes is a long way away, and the Cylons weren't infinitely advanced. They were only somewhat more advanced than the humans, who, aside from their jump drives, aren't much more advanced than us. Could you examine 360x180 degrees of sky for a kilometer long object at 54 million miles away within three minutes? I don't think so. Further, there is a reason they kept jumping away. They would make a few quick jumps and the Cylons would need a trillion times as much manpower to find them.
