Given: Humans cause warming. (for purposes of argument) Consider: Tropical rainforests exist in the warmest parts of the world. Tropical rainforests are among the most beautiful places in the natural world. Global warming will cause more parts of the world to be amenable to rainforests. Ergo...

Unfortunately you can't parthenogenerate a dude (XX + 0 != XY), which just leaves "really really good at sticking to her story."

If it's overpriced, we the market have a duty to tell them. As it stands, we have a binary Hobson-oid choice - pay ~$10 to watch it or don't. Now, given that we've already decided "don't," what harm is done by watching it for $0? I have sent Hollywood the important message that "I am willing to...

Because you were caught on spy satellite using a downed power line as a lasso to retrieve a baby from a burning building? That'd be awesome.

If you got to actually watch someone die, I have two points about living with it: 1) Unless you're a high-level medical provider (trauma surgeon?) it's unlikely you could have done anything. 2) You're not complicit in the act of death-causing; that burden lies squarely on the shoulders of the...

You're mostly right and partly probably right. I'm reasonably sure (having exposed myself pretty thoroughly to academic atmospheric science, that they didn't fabricate it. I'm also reasonably sure that they aren't forthcoming with uncertainties, predictions, etc., for fear of losing funding and...

But, for the love of god, spare the GT California.

That's not true! That's impossible!

How about the magnetic south pole? I'm pretty sure no military in the world is equipped to conquer a south polar base.

A 50 trillion dollar unregulated insurance market is a good idea. Is this an insurance crisis? No. Is this a banking crisis? Yes. Are banks regulated? Yes. Q.E.D.

That's OK, the ability to think is beyond the skill-set of your average Kansan.

100+ on the interstate is fine IF and ONLY IF it's completely deserted, you have no passenger, and you understand that your hazard to life increases exponentially with speed. Have I personally (while wearing a helmet) exceeded 75mph over the speed limit in a race-prepped rally car (AKA safe at...

Don't be a dick in traffic. Don't drive at speeds beyond your ability and road conditions. The former includes running red lights, tailgating, and refusing to allow people to merge. The latter involves speeding moderately, since many car/road combinations aren't designed to be stable at above...

I think what you mean to say is that university education produces LESS open-minded individuals who lean a LOT left as a result of leftist indoctrination by bleeding-heart professors blathering unchecked. How many college-students for Obama did you hear saying "Oh, yeah, John McCain has the...

:+1: Switzerland is a lot of things America used to be. Too bad they require a bachelors degree to get a work permit, even if one has a relatively high-level job offer with BMW-Sauber.

4 hour bump FTL

Obv. negreps have nothing to do with free speech or democracy. There's no negative effect, except for some small effect on reputation, of being negrepped. If, now, being negrepped resulted in banning, that's no dice.

No Coke, Pepsi!

Because you touch yourself at night. (Think about it... [supply and demand {large political lobbies}])

This is the internet. The only women we've ever seen are in photographs.
