Comment Re:You mean like Ireland's blasphemy laws? (Score 2, Insightful) 187

The article from which it looks like you drew your facts is here. Also quoted therein:

"Atheists are now eligible to run for any office in South Carolina, which means the provision against atheists is unenforceable."

The only defense I can offer for over a third of the South Carolina legislature voting not to overturn their anti-miscegenation laws is that, since the legislation was elected democratically, perhaps the constituents of South Carolina have exactly the kind of government they deserve.

Comment Re:Corrupt Republicans hate freedom/truth (Score 5, Insightful) 316

These politicians are liberal and that is where the corruption abounds. (They are also known as RINOs).

I don't disagree that corruption is party-agnostic, but I take umbrage to terms like Republicrat or RINO that marginalise the centre right and left. They promote a "with us or against us" mentality that was famous with the United States' last president.

This is kinda cool. Not so much that it was an iPhone, but that it was a handheld device. How much longer until these phones replace a laptop for most of our day-to-day computing?

Much of the appeal of a laptop is the screen real estate. You can use your iPhone as a laptop, and you can can use your laptop as a phone, but seriously. Use the proper tool for the proper job.
