uh; isn't this "imprinting" along the line of Lorenz's work?

I remember becoming the mom (dad?) to a quail in HS Biology class...(and nope, we didn't kill them; they went to a quail reserve)

I have bobknight on ignore. But I read this last post. Thought -- hey, surely he can be a nice person under these circumstances.

Nope. Is it some kind of brain damage? Certainly it is some kind of emotional damage.

So sad.

"We" being life on earth.

Nope. Making someone's dream come true has destroyed the planet. The question for me is, did you make things better, worse, or neither for the place everyone lives. If your desire is just to make thoughtless people temporarily happy, it's a certainty you've made things worse.

Nope, it's sorcery plain and simple.
Burn them. Burn the witches!

NOPE!!! So close to that wall/roof/whatever it is.

Nope....that's what you would expect....and nobody expects the Newty inquisition.

Nope...this was a peace offering for Bob, who of course believes this is really how Libtards are born.

Nope, ever see DAAS live?

My thought process: "Oh, I liked the campy 80's Swamp Thing movie, and this looks interesting. Only on DC Universe? Hmm... let's see... $8 a month? Yeah... nope."

There has to be a streaming video market contraction. It's insane to think people are going to sign up for a ton of individual hyper-focused channels. I guess if you're super into DC this might seem like a great deal, but it completely loses them any casual or only mildly-curious viewers.

Let me count the ones I remember.
1. Godzilla
2. Mothra, giant silkworm and moth
3. Rodan, dragon
4. Gydra, the 3-headed monster
5. Gamera, the flying space turtle
6. Son of Godzilla, blows smoke rings

Nope can't think of 17 monsters.

There are a few problems with that, and they all end up at the same issue, lobbying.
Police unions are incredibly powerful lobbyists and do lobby against the public's interests, and they use the threat of striking, leaving the public with zero law enforcement, to squash any attempt to regulate them.....and when that fails, the sheriffs and chiefs often just ignore the new laws, like they did about making discipline records public in CA, they just said "nope" and refused to release them, many departments held bonfires where they burned these records to ensure they would never, under any circumstances, become public knowledge....still today, even long after the law went into effect Jan. 1st and has been upheld in courts, the A.G. just outright refused again to follow state law and release these public records. Pretty damn hard to establish an effective oversight body when police have the ability to erase all information they wish by any means with no repercussions.

Second, the prison guard union is the best funded, most powerful private/union lobbying group in America, and they do actually write laws for representatives to present. It's clearly in their best interest to force the desperate to be criminals, it's their bread and butter. They fight to expand minimum sentencing, incarcerate 14 year olds as adults for life, continue and expand the failed drug war, oppose any rescinding of criminal laws, have tried to reinstate debtor's prisons, criminalized multiple civil crimes, etc....incarceration is their business, and business is good.

So while I agree, there are numerous better systems that serve everyone much better with less money , less incarceration, and less recidivism, until we revamp our political system to make it illegal to bribe politicians (and make no mistake, it's perfectly legal to bribe them with campaign donations or promises of massive support), there is no way in hell it's going to improve and a near certainty it will continue to get worse because there's money to be made by locking people up.

Blaming Mountain Dew drinkers as radicals.
Brilliant logic buddy.


Nope. We have folks that believe in the Constitution and see it being ignored by 1/2 people and the Democratic party is right there trying to tear it down. Flaws and all, this is still the greatest country in the world and your side wants to destroy it.

So when 1 proud American snaps, Its understandable, not tolerable and they should be punished.

When your side steps out, all is OK. They are advancing the cause. No punishment should be taken.

So....now you believe in evolution.

My question to deniers like yourself, what difference does it make if it's man made, it's happening, and we have the ability to at least mitigate it, but you and yours would just say "nope, ain't real" as your home in Florida goes underwater. Why not take control?

Since it's not real, can we have your children's names to deny space in refugee camps? They can stand outside and laugh at the dry folks, secure in the knowledge that dad said it's natural.

Nope, sorry, it's looking more like they got caught, held off an interview about this topic, ran to remove the most offending videos before they were exposed, then tried to pretend it was their idea by making this video because it's so important to get things right, when reality is they knew they were wrong for years and did nothing until it was going to be exposed elsewhere.
This isn't intellectual honesty at work, it's the opposite, ass covering and self congratulatory back patting.

See the linked video above about why this is just about brand damage control, not honesty or truth.

Nope. I am implying that in the late 1700's, the wealth inequality in France was combined with widespread poverty and starvation, and such conditions do not exist today in the US. The suggestion (Newtboy's) that we should fear a revolution today is unsupported. Back then, half of all children then died before the age of 10, many due to the famine they were experiencing. We just don't have the kind of poverty today in the US that the French peasants endured in 1780.
