Soylent Green and others of its ilk are the retarded offspring of a brain-damaged intellectual elitist. The author of "The Population Bomb" should be publicly flogged and then dragged off in chains for the damage his pseudo-intellectual, humanophobic, fact-devoid fearmongering book has wrought in th...

It's called a RUNNING GAG, people.

(Nightmare on elm street)"I'm never never never never NEVER going to sleep again."

(Animal Planet)"Can't sleep, Dingoes will eat me..."

(Viva Pinata) "Soylent Green is Pinatas...."

Actually, it's just a standard revolver--- modified to operate in a vacuum (oxygen in the bullet propellant, special lubricants that won't boil away in a vacuum, alloys and ceramics that resist expansion or contraction due to cold or heat....)

Commissioned, actually....

the reason most people "get it wrong" is because they WANT to get it wrong. It's more personally convenient that way. And I've noted before that the first defense of someone wishing to do what they know is wrong is to play dumb. "Define 'sex.' " "But you didn't SAY that." "Why did you do that?? 'I d...

In this situation it's more a matter of
"never underestimate the average person's ability to explain away the unusual, the alarming or the inconvenient."

I'm trying to decide which annoys me more. The head-up-the-butt insistence that "Socialism isn't communism", or the petulant attempt to equate Christianity with Islam.

Wanderer, McCain Feingold forbids people from spending their own money on campaign ads--- political speech--- within a given number of weeks prior to an election. Libspeak: "Special Interest Group"--- any group stumping for conservative politics. "Concerned Americans"--- any group stumping for liber...

As someone pointed out some time ago, "Relativity, Causality, and FTL. Pick any two." General Relativity is probably the most thoroughly and exhaustively verified theory there is. However, they've been finding quite a few gaps and flaws in it for quite some time. (the theoretical tachyon particle i...

Keep in mind he's a sci fi author, and although his speculations are feasible they would be far from inevitable. Yes, it might have gone badly for Americans, north AND south, had the CSA seceded. (Though I submit that if the North hadn't been a hypocritical ass about it and just let them go, that wo...

Who was it that said that the Confederate flag was a eulogy for the Tenth Amendment?

The Pelligrino-Zembowski gambit http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/rocket3x.html#rbomb Does have a few flaws. 1)<B>For every ounce of destructive energy released at impact, an equal amount of energy must be applied at acceleration.</b> There is still no free lunch; every joule of energy you wish to de...

ah, hypocricy, we shall declare ourself independent, and justify it with these principles, but then we shall live in opposition to them (or, as Rincewind put it in The Interesting Times "Revolution changes nothing, the leaders are always in power" altough i may have misremembered the excact wording...

actually, it's a handsign used by american troops--- "soldier under duress."

There are photographs online of a soldier using it in a 'photo op' with Hillary Clinton.

source of quote?

It is. Partially.

But an unduly long Indian summer can delay it... and the weather changes, as I recall, can alter how brilliant or dull the coloration is. (A sudden cold snap supposedly brings out the brightest colors, as I recall... tho take that with a grain of salt.)

ACtually, less than 3-4 days away from it on foot.
Mind, that's a lot of territory for that trading post to be hiding in... but he's searching in a radius outward from his landing spot.

Fantastic idea, but the ONLY way they're going to allow it at first is for sworn law-enforcement officers and soldiers. After a while, common sense and good results might expand the plan. The gun practice ranges in major metropolitan areas would have to build airliner mock-ups for training drills -...

I watched the news earlier tonight with dismay... as I've said in other threads, I'm praying that my flight isn't affected by this recent situation. What I've heard is that it's restrictions on fluids (beverages, gels, lotions, etc.) and obvious remotes (car openers were mentioned). I don't know ju...

I sat down and calculated it up. At earliest, the first harvest from a watermelon patch is early June.... So my estimate placed his departure somewhere in the end of October to the beginning of November. The balmy climate inside the mistwall (or one should say under the mistwall DOME) would have del...
