I'm exactly advocating for the federal government to do its job and protect its citizens and their property from foreign enemies. It's not my job to protect my house from a foreign military that might want to come into it and

I agree with you. I'm not shunning the controversial views, but rather the publication classifying them as such. Before even presenting those views, no less.

Yes, there are vast numbers of them. I know doctors who do not believe the dog at the door wagging its tail when the person arrives to be experiencing emotions. I believe the dog is happy and excited and eager to greet its friend of another

They are certainly aware . At the simplest level, we know for a fact they respond to their environment. On accelerated time scales, it is also fairly obvious to see them compete with other plants and branches of themselves . We also kno

No it isn't. Arguing with people like this is just boring . Not interested.

You still think there's only one other option? There are probably at least dozens if you think about it.

I don't think that's a reasonable expectation. There are countless books on the topic and it's unreasonable to expect they have this level of knowledge. There's a reason a we don't say, "Well, if the bridge col

Bitcoin was a stupid at a penny. $60,000 doesn't make it somehow smarter. Everyone knows. No one is buying it because it's worth anything. They are buying it because they think there's someone more ignorant behind them to bel

A) It's not a halting problem. B) Digital borders exist all over the net. We use them every day to secure all sorts of things.

It's absurd to suggest there is only one option.

The main purpose of government is to protect its citizens from foreign invaders. I don't see any difference here.

That's not the society I want. I don't want stronger doors everywhere. Tougher locks everywhere. Onerous security everywhere. I prefer a society where passengers are free to chit chat with the pilots when they aren't busy. Wh

Not unsurprising to me, I have a contrarian view to most of the comments here about this. This project is supported by, among others, https://www.farmfoundation.org/about-farm-foundation/board-o... which includes US Ba

I think I understand your POV and can see why one might find some peace in it, but I don't. More crime, or I suppose mroe news about it, so we know how much crime costs? More attacks make us safer? It's a means justify the ends ar

I wonder if this has anything to do with the Colonial gas pipeline leak? It's been a problem for over 8 months now. Was in the news recently again. Over a million gallons spilled, but they don't really know how much. https:/

I remember traveling around some islands with a new acquaintance on his own journey. I remember him saying, "It's amazing and romantic. Most of the folks here have never left. All they need is right here." Fast forward a day.

That is a terrible situation. We are overrun by vampires, leeches, skimmers and thieves. People with zero ethics or conscience. They have an advantage. Lauded in silicon valley, politics, corporations. Sociopaths and psychopaths. I don&#x27

So then fire them. Not only did they mess up. They lied. They were too incompetent to know better, then they bullied the person who was. Gone. Period. Zero tolerance policy on bullying and harassment. It's never good. Ever.

"Policies." I remember lots of policies. If you're rich enough, the policies don't apply to you. That's not a scandal, it's just how the world works.

I'm not sure it's that you're a woman or that you're empathetic, good natured, choose to avoid conflict, in addition to being technically skilled. There does seem to be a correlation between the two, but in my experience

The "last guy" is the scapegoat. In toxic companies, deadlines are the date at which you get a new deadline. The effect is that people hustle to make the deadline, constantly having the rug pulled out from under them by the deadli

Yes. You think Harvard is going to fail the son of a senator or legacy donor? A lot of folks I went to college with did nothing but party, drink, hang out. Education didn't matter to them at all. They were going to get a job at their

I actually had my friendships with the folks there used against me. If I thought something was wrong or shouldn't be done, my boss would say, "You like your friends here, don't you?" W.T.F.?? There's really no corre
