A lot of people thought this was a pretty well thought out middle of the road decision. It was not, it was silly and in no way reasonable. Period! Well I guess we're open minded about this! You think allowing continuing research on 10 available existing embryonic stem cell lines is unreasonable ? W...

This comparison is exactly what a true christian rightwinger would do, exactly my point. Thanks for making it more clear. It is the same point that GW Bush made. Killing babies, hahaahahaha! Can you please get any more lame! You can let this stuff loose on Sunday in church, but please leave it out ...

What planet have YOU been living on ? First of all Bush is hardly a right winger. He was a fiscal spendthrift. The only right wing position that he put forth was strong support for the military, but when it came to spending, he spent like a drunken democrat. (edit. I take that back. At the top of h...

How exactly did Bush do this ? Please explain. I am all ears.

And, to make this clear, I want - NO I REQUIRE- the leader of the most powerful nation in the world, actually anyone who wants to have authority over me, to be better educated and more intelligent than me. I've always suspected no one was fit to rule me. Now I know for sure. Seriously, though, inte...

It is planetaria of course. It is a word of latin origin, like many words in the english language. Just like it is pizz(a)e and not pizzas and just like it is cacti and not cactuses. But I am sure that hick would have gotten those cacti right, but then, maybe not. Definitely no hope for Palin thoug...

While I am not sure what Obama is doing right now is ideal in any way, I would like to point out that the current crisis came about in 8 years under a right wing conservative government... That did not go to well either, as we all know and can feel now. It took Bush 8 years to ruin the economy, don...

Well yes. I'm a contrarian. It comes from my engineering habits: This won't work. That won't work. This costs too much. After you keep slashing away at "not this" and "not that" you are left with a working design. And you absolutely have to be ruthless. It is easy to get hung up on "what an interes...

Life seems to fill every niche in whatever habitat nature creates. As long as it is evolutionarily beneficial, a criminal class will continue to exist. It is like the bottom step of a set of stairs. If you remove it, the next step becomes the new bottom step. True. But you can get more people to fi...

While we're on the topic, i've always postulated the existence of a class of people which I refer to as "Contrarians." These are people who don't know what they think until they find out what other people think so that they can be on the opposite side. Thats stupid. People aren't like that. You mak...

I think John McCain was unquestionably better qualified than what we ended up with. Does that mean I think he was the best choice. Not really. I preferred Fred Thompson. A better qualified crook is not necessarily a good thing. Both of them sucked rocks. Ask yourself, if you had the choice, wouldn'...

Are you REALLY of the opinion that it was best to vote for either O'Bama or McCain? Do you REALLY think that they have good policies and ideas? I certainly don't think either of the candidates were worthy of support. Both their ideas and platforms SUCKED big-time. Voting for either of them would ha...

those people who currently occupy themselves with the illicit drug trade, would very likely be occupying themselves with other illicit activity were the bottom to fall out of the drug market. There's some evidence that the market creates the behaviour. Once upon a time, Britain used to transport co...

Are you saying they should have meddled in Europe's affairs to undo the damage caused by Wilson's meddling ? And because they didn't They are to blame ? Had the Euros been amenable it would have been good for the US to get involved. And yes. The withdrawal from the world was a big error. Proof of t...

Sorry. Double Post. My internet failed as I was saving, and I wasn't sure if it saved. So I saved again, just to be sure. (wouldn't want to lose any of my words of wisdom you know. )
