Again, complete horseshit.

Noone has to have a photo ID to live in this country. Show me the law where this is true. You do have to have a social security card, and that's the only requirement to being a US citizen.

Millions and millions of people in this country can barely afford to pay their bills, and while $20 may seem like nothing to you, it is to millions and millions of people. Many who are disabled and many who are senior citizens. So I guess you just hate disabled people and seniors. Nice. (oh, and poor people. And poor, disabled senior citizens.)

Please the next time you pollute the air with your garbage - Don't.
An ID is something everyone has to have in today society. If you cant afford the $20 bucks for an ID then you have bigger issues in you life than voting.

Winger doesn't know what a poll tax is and why it was already deemed unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court.
Dude, seriously, you need to educate yourself. You drive yourself crazy over things that are entirely made up, or dead concepts killed over 100 years ago for very good reasons. I'd personally be embarassed if I were you, and would probably start shutting my mouth until I took some rudimentary political science and political history classes.>> ^bobknight33:
Voter Id should be mandatory because it matters. If some one really desires to vote they will get the id, which they most likely already own.

He only helped push the Internet (aka super information highway he kept using). He did NOT invent it.

I wake up about noon, eat breakfast, putz around on the Internet, do some research toward PhD, go practice my martial art, come home to continue doing research toward PhD, go to bed around 4am. Repeat. It's a thrilling ride!

And imagine our Gross National Product if we STOPPED tossing money at these other nations.America need Noone in the end.
But,I dream. America was an interesting experiment:give common people the Vote and they'll vote for the happiest Fiction they are shown,and soon our politicians will just do away with that illusion of choice and bring us into the new Corporate Feudalism where we'll be serfs enthralled to the yokes of global conglomerates.


I agree with the corporate feudalism.. With dubya the republicans already rediscovered medieval European monarchy.

As for tossing money at other nations though, 50c in the dollar is tossed in the form of explosives and shrapnel. It doesn't make friends. And that's why there is such a need for security, and THAT's why control is being lost to fear at the political level. (nothing demented right wingers like more than a red alert situation).

It's never too late to stop killing people. Eventually, they will stop trying to kill you. Then you save half your money!

I would call America the Greatest,but I judge Greatest by different criteria.

Resources,and the management of them,basicly. How self sufficient a country can be if the raw materials the land posesses were properly utilized. We have farmland,oil metal and other harvestable materials ,industry and tecnology ,and the space for a huge population. If our corporate masters had an interest in it,we could provide ourselves the highest standard of living for all citizens if these phenomenal potentials were focused to that end. What other country commands such wealth of assets? And imagine our Gross National Product if we STOPPED tossing money at these other nations.America need Noone in the end.

No.
That was facts. As far as I could make out, every one of these claims are well-documented with mountains of evidence and hard science to back them up.

We have no idea how many planets there are in the galaxy. We haven't discovered enough of them to determine any sort of pattern. So claiming that we "know" there are 1.6 planets per star is indeed speculation. Similarily, suggesting that "The Big Bang did not need a cause" is speculation. We don't have nearly enough information about how it happened, or under what conditions it happened to be able to do anything more than theorize at this point.
There are other examples, but I'm too lazy to go through them all. Claiming certainty about things for which we have insufficient evidence to make such claims is poor science.


He doesnt say "we know there are 1.6 planets" he specifically says "an ESTIMATED 1.6 planets" so its an estimate based on the available evidence, which is that we've discovered 770 and counting planets, and we know that its currently very hard to detect planets, yet we find lots. From this we can extrapolate, and the 1.6 ratio is probably at the low end of an estimate.

I wont pretend to understand how the big bang didnt need a cause, but the lawrence Krauss talk I linked to explains this in some detail. Notice that he does NOT say "the big bang didnt HAVE a cause", he says it didnt NEED one. In other words, physicists have worked out ways the big bang could have happened without a cause. That doesnt nescessarily mean that it didnt actually have a cause. Its like saying "Cats dont need owners" It doesnt mean that noone owns a cat.

wtf, uh-uh, this party aint over.... take that coat back off i have another keg showing up at noon

When I said no-one is talking about Zimmermans side I meant the people on this site not the police.

I have empathy for all living things regardless of race or species.

>> ^longde:

If you had a little more empathy, you would see why people are so upset and angry. Anyone with a darker skinned kid (like me) is upset and concerned that murder can be so easy to commit and get away with.
And you're completely wrong when you say noone is looking at Zimmerman's side. For god's sake the guy killed a kid and he's walking free. The police and state attorneys were on his side from the start. That's the problem. If they had arrested Zimmerman from the start none of the protest would have happened.
