The good thing about strawmen though, is that you can always declare victory, and then pretend to be uninterested. Most people who don't wish to participate in a flame war don't start one. I'd have really been happy to let you get in that last jab, but you have to keep inviting me back in, don't yo...

He/she is mad that I called him/her out on being a bigot, so he/she responds by upping the ante and being an even bigger bigot. It's true, I didn't really need to say anything. Di dug a hole, jumped in it, and loudly advertised his/her nature as a poor human being. Wow, just look at that exchange. I...

My point is, it's in the eye of the beholder. For some reason you consider a skank to be a negative thing. Why are you promoting intolerance? :) You're an idiot with an indefensible position. You might as well call Obama a nigger and say it isn't racist. Our language allows us derogatory ways of sa...

The commentary on the woman's sexual activities is neither here nor there. Why do you propagate this intolerance? Should Bernie Madoff not be called a crook for breaking his contract with his investors? Should Elliot Spitzer not be called a philandering bastard for cheating on his wife with a hooke...

I think most people don't consider automotive transport to be a niche application for liquid fuels.

In my current state many establishments prohibit entry with guns, even the non-concealed kind. This is also a state with a high level of gun ownership. People mostly use them for hunting, and don't have such a big need to drink their coffee with a revolver in their pants. For personal defense, I lik...

And the "knowledge" that genetically engineered crops is harmful to your health? I remember seeing a label on a product in Whole Foods once. It said something like, "No additive X used in this product* *additive X has not been shown to be harmful to your health " The organic food movement is as much...

I think this ties into another implication for the social environment. I think that, in general, people don't trust technology, and view it as a force for evil in the world. I think that the technology=evil is an older generation thing. Because the younger generation is convinced that technology ca...

Re: Polywell Visions: Food

So why not just get a huge Oil Tanker, put a few Polywells in it. Make it fly and dispense Mana from heaven with pot and beer for the masses? Even a sophisticated technology like this would appear to be God-like to the radicals in the Middle Eastern deserts. Ah, that's why everyone is quiet on poly...

Unless the aid was on 24 standby in the air. What? Every country would just have some "aid" hovering above them in case they need it some time? Why not just give the stuff to the country and let them stick it in a shed on the ground? Or better yet, let someone start using it immediately. People are...
