Someone just explained separation of church and state to him.

Jeeez dude, you are about a party-liner ain't ya?? Texas would be the first state to "separate" from the diseased political system you so faithfully believe in and, as we observe, believe in as fervently as any bible-thumping proselytizer determined to beat a moot point into oblivion.
As the government of the U.S. continues down her retrograde path, churches will become for many, a last bastion of sanity exempt from a really retarded form of totalitarianism and fascism. Retarded, because folks who talk shit from the comfort of their programming who belie intelligence with their words should have seen the shit coming from miles away but were too comfortable in their delusion to see the boots and badges-

I was gonna...but then decided it's not worth it, then changed my mind one last time.
I suspect aAnyone who can call religion "the last bastion of sanity" is too far gone to make sense, but... Religion supplies a cushy lifestyle for priests...that's the sum total of it's accomplishments. Churches have, if anything, helped push the government down the path you so self-righteously condemn...and they preach and stump political issues all without paying any taxes. Yet more corporate welfare.
It's time for the -real- welfare queens to start paying their share...churches, Wall Street, Defense contractors, big Pharma, etc. Time to either start contributing to the upkeep of society, or be broken up (or strung up, as the case may be).


No, you misquote me and then infer bullshit in that same smug manner that libby there used and that anyone on the receiving end of such smug could expect after reading a gajillion similar quips. I said CHURCHES and meant the members of the same whose communal efforts keep the building's physical plant in order and supports the members in time of want or need. You know...The first places to get raided and ransacked when the jackboots come??

This didn't start about about religion: I started it when Potato-libro there took a jab at Texas and lighted upon another opportunity to bash "them ignernt conservatives, etc.", NOT UNLIKE a shitload of folks with "holier than thou" attitudes concerning politics and government. QUITE laughable really, because the opinions they have and the conclusions they have arrived at, are based on limited and incomplete information or worse, they have been programmed to do so through systematic efforts by do-nothings in colleges or universities.

Stormsinger, YOUR rant began with religion and politics and manically concluded with corporations and Wall Street....WTF??!! By the way, my solution as an anarchistic, soon-to-be expatriate is to use the BIG TEX method on governments and corporations. You hate em so much, be like the Hulk. SMAAAASH! Then burn, repeat.

Can we talk about how fucking progressive IDAHO is now??? Jesus Christ, Allah Mustapha!!
I suspect anyone who can start with anti-religion rants, switch to blaming churches for the state of America's demise, bash tax-exemption and somehow blame corporate welfare (whatever the fuck!??...see where this is going?) and arrive at a total solution by blaming BELTWAY INSIDERS AND THE SENATORS/CONGRESSMEN THEY HAVE BOUGHT for pharma, defense, etc. shifting the blame to people without any power or influence???....I'd have to call them schizophrenic! Which is how most rabid concerning politics ion one side or the other are to me. ALLL OF THEM, conservative or liberal. I could give a fiddler's fist-fuck about working within a failed system. I prefer to keep to the fringes of this broken machine and put as little of my resources or mentations into it.

But some, like stormie and libby here...well, hopeless fiends and junkies for the dance politic. Playing right into the hands of the corporations iffn ya axe me!

Science isn't 100% or nothing. Creating someone who is 95% neanderthal would still be scientifically useful.


Well, thats not really how genes, genomes and sequencing works. You can sequence a genome 100% , but the accuracy might not be perfect, then you can sequence bits and peices to determine familiarity etc and that might be close to 100% in accuracy. The point is that just because someone says "we have sequenced the Neanderthal genome" that doesnt have to mean that that sequencing is even remotely useable as a cloning template or whatever.

And you cant just make a "95% neanderthal" and expect it to be "almost neanderthal".

The devil, or neanderthal in this case, is in the details, and what we have to work with, regardless of future technology is degraded bits of DNA thats tens of thousands of years old. Again, think about it like a video in recorded in low quality, its not going to be HD just because you have a fancy computer.

I googled this stuff to see if my skepticism was warranted: Here is a quote from one of the people who actually did the sequencing (taken from Wikipedia):

In February 2009, the Max Planck Institute's team, led by geneticist Svante Pääbo, announced that they had completed the first draft of the Neanderthal genome[3] An early analysis of the data suggested in "the genome of Neanderthals, a human species driven to extinction" "no significant trace of Neanderthal genes in modern humans".[17] New results suggested that some adult Neanderthals were lactose intolerant.[14] On the question of potentially cloning a Neanderthal, Pääbo commented, "Starting from the DNA extracted from a fossil, it is and will remain impossible."

So there you have it. Naku is, once again, talking shit, and should stick to his own field of study.

This coming from Swedish girls isn't by accident, Sweden is soaked in radical feminism, have a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yta55u2zP2U
There's a big difference between anonymously talking shit on the internet and talking shit in a wining short sponsored by General Electric. Now, was it so important that they'll bring up misogyny, where they so oppressed by hoards of men that they needed to put it in a short about a bicycle helm? Allow me to doubt that.
Also, that invention looks like might be able to break your collar bone or squash few vertebrae if not just snap your neck.

skip to 2:35 to see the actual product and avoid listening to them tell you how spectacular they are especially because they are women and all men think that women are incapable of even the most basic technical abilities.....
Also....trading a bike helmet for a sweaty neck brace.....maybe not so awesome. I would have to argue that a dorky and guaranteed bike helmet > a dorky, expensive, probably heavy, not 100% guaranteed function & definitely sweaty neck brace.
Practicality for anywhere that gets above 70 degrees F = 0.
Still....its undeniably neat.

I think they're entitled...all I hear about is how shit women are from men on the internet. Just because it doesn't describe you doesn't mean their own personal experiences with men doubting them aren't valid.

{edit} gah im breaking my golden rule of not arguing with retards on vs, ah well. You think everyone should research the vagaries of common assault vs battery before commenting on a video about someone trying to grab the olympic torch... hokay. How about I stick to commenting on the video at hand and leave the shouty shouty nerd rage to the people like yourself, who try to turn every post into an emotional battle, presumably because thats how you get your emotional needs met rather than learning how to interact in the real world. Im sorry you feel that way, hope you get fixed soon. Im going to leave you alone now.

>> ^Auger8:

If I spit in your direction with the intent of hitting you and I miss it's assault. Look it up. If you try to hit someone with your fist and connect it's battery. Maybe you should actually learn about laws before you talk shit about them.
>> ^thumpa28:
That was assault was it? The bit where she had to hang onto the torch? Actually the torch was assaulted. Maybe you should shout about olympic torch rights in block! Angry Angry huff huff.

Good for this guy, Hate the olympics, not usually but im a londoner. Not allowed to wear pepsi t-shirts, eat non-mcdonald fries, use a mastercard in the olympic village, zil lanes, not allowed to link to the locog website with 'derogatory' comments, locog refusing to release ticket details because all the prestige events sold to sponsors... All organised by that smug git Lord Coe. The sport comes a distant second.

For the sake of argument, let's agree that the Olympics was a once great idea hijacked by corporate marketing and political interests.
Now tell me where you think that gives anyone the right to fucking assault some poor woman.

Well said I'm glad I'm not the only Texan here that knows that our state isn't embodied by the spirit of "King of the Hill".
>> ^chingalera:

Shouldn't we be talkin' shit about countries when no-one's here to defend said country???.....Feel the same when someone talks shit about Texan's in lame-ass generalizations. I got a general-i-zation for yas....Most people don't know shit about Uzbekistan OR Texas!!
Awww MAN!! That little Uzlett tried to throw his fuckin' grammy down the escalator!!??

just another chickenhawk pussy talking shit.
isnt this the same guy that berated a woman at a coffee shop for making him actually have to formulate a counter argument to her question?
yeah...that was classy.

and wasn't something similar done to a congressman in georgia a few years back? i cant remember his name but he had lost two legs in vietnam and they made him out to be a pinko commie.

ah..politics.where only the true blue whores reside.

i like it when he isnt talking shit about other people...

Clearly you've missed a good argument cause of anti-fox bias. It's kinda understandable tho..

Shep's point is: Wow, that's a strangely polite and creepy response considering Romney and Newt have vehemently opposed and talked shit about each other up until a few days ago.

e.g. -

"In the most negative primary season ever, Mitt Romney is outspending Newt Gingrich 5 to 1 on attack ads ahead of today’s primary in Florida, stopping the ex-speaker’s momentum coming off a South Carolina win."

"In honor of Newt Gingrich's impending endorsement of Mitt Romney, the Obama campaign has compiled several clips reminding voters of all the nasty things Newt said about Mitt during the GOP primary."



>> ^Trancecoach:

reacting to Newt's withdrawal the way a sane person would.

I'd never criticize anyone for avoiding getting drafted into that war. It ended a couple of years before I was eligible for the draft, but I definitely had my escape plans ready. What I criticize are those fucking hypocrits that start promoting wars and talking shit as soon as they were no longer at risk of having to serve themselves.

I'd honestly love to see every last chickenhawk sent over to whatever war we are currently involved in...at least then our innocent youngsters could be spared. I'm for damned sure that our wars would be far fewer and far smaller, if those who called for them had to serve in them.

>> ^Ryjkyj:

Now I'm not one to call draft-dodgers cowards, and certainly not "the biggest coward in America." Dodging the Vietnam draft can probably just be chalked up to critical thinking, but it certainly is interesting to hear this story. As someone who threatens to kill people every day of his life for various reasons, it truly shows Nugent for what he really is: all talk and no cock. It also puts his "hunting makes me so tough" schtick in an entirely different light, namely: "I can kill a bear from really far away with a gun, but I'd never put myself in any actual danger."
