Guys, FYI, Erik Wolpaw is a master of deadpan joke delivery. He's basically just trolling.

The decision to drop the bomb was also partly influenced by the desire to demonstrate to the Soviets that the US had developed a weapon of mass destruction. What they didn't know is that Stalin not only knew about it already but was developing their own version. This late in the war the relations with the Soviets was already shaky and both sides were posturing for a better position after the conflict.

Not a fat fucking chance, bitch!

Drilling in the US won't affect the price any more than drilling anywhere else.

Imposter in what way, sir?

SSRIs have some very adverse side effects in a non-trivial percentage of the population which typically include increased aggression and suicidal behavior. Frankly, SSRIs should be banned. They're often more harmful than good and there are alternate medicines that work as well or better with fewer side effects. For medications such as Zoloft the clinical trials were heavily manipulated where patients that committed suicide were removed from the results after the fact, even though the suicide rate for the control group was significantly lower.

Gun owners on SSRIs should have their guns taken from them until they are safely off the medications (after withdrawal symptoms have subsided) and then returned, no questions asked and no records.

OH NO! 9 BILLION per YEAR!!!! What ever shall we do? At least some of that goes towards HELPING people instead of KILLING them.

Why not stop spending HUNDREDS of BILLIONS per year on the "defense" farce that continues to murder people in our name around the world. What about the 3 trillion dollars STOLEN outright by bush administration friends and cronies at Halliburton? Where the fuck do morons like you get your priorities? You are so fucking clueless. Go take a dive in a wood chipper.

All light is measured as traveling at the speed of light (300,000km/sec or 186,000miles/sec) by all observers. Even those traveling at or near c measure light to travel at c because their perception of time is altered by their velocity.

The misconception that if I'm traveling at .9c that if I shine a flashlight in front of me it will only appear to be traveling at .1c is because people forget to factor in how the passage of time (and space) changes for the observer at .9c. Remember, velocity is a measure of distance over time. Time passed for you is different from time passed for another observer at a different relative velocity. So the light particle travels 300,000km over one of your seconds while they measure it traveling 300,000km over one of their seconds. For each of you 1 second has passed and the 300,000km was traveled by the light particle leading to the same measurement for the speed of light by all observers.
