   Didn't we sabotage their centrifuges? I would consider that an act of war.

   I feel alone on this board in thinking this. While I believe the execution of the order was clumsy (why ban green card holders who have already made a life for themselves here and people already mid-flight?), the people of any nation have

   Me personally? If I don't know them, I'm not getting involved. This is not theoretical for me. On a couple of occasions I've witnessed people in the process of self harm. It's scary.

   I suppose it's an American phrase. Given the way the rest of the world is going it may be an American value, too, though the US itself is moving away from that idea, too. I'm not going to rehash old arguments about the virtues of

   I suppose I have to agree with you. You apparently want a nanny state and to tax me to pay for it.

    Sort of. Add knowledge of Kepler's second law that an orbit will sweep out equal area in equal time, and you'll find that you can tell how much the orbit has been rotated, but not in which direction. I think generically, you&#x2

    I understand it's all good-natured fun for you, but I'm glad I'm not in your family. You're making the world a worse place and wasting strangers' time.

    > fruit and vegetables are bad for you Fruit is very easy to eat to excess, especially when you labor under the delusion that it couldn't be bad for you, as you seem to be doing. The problem is that it has a ton of sugar in it. Yo

    "This time, it’s taken just five days, since the hostile takeover of the US by its worst elements" Really? This is they way you see it?

    Meh. I thought the ideas were no longer grounded in what's possible in this universe.

    I only made it through one third of the sequel. I thought the quality had taken a dramatic step down and couldn't bring myself to finish it.

    If people couldn't be bothered with the actual Snowden leaks, surveillance of money transfers to Pakistan isn't going to move the needle either.

    By "certain" you mean child porn, right? I can't think of any other crime that meets the two criteria that 1) it can be done over email and 2) detection can be reliably automated.

    I missed that part in the constitution where it said these rights not available in all areas.

    I didn't mean to troll. I just wanted to point out that it's not true that POTUS is the least free person -- kind of ridiculous to say it. I wanted a quick example of someone everyone knows who is incarcerated. I don't actu

    No doubt! But I'm getting downvoted for suggesting that the POTUS might have a smidge more freedom than a person in jail.
