Comment 3 of the 7 Deadly Sins - Sloth Greed and Gluttony (Score 1) 670

The medieval Christians had their list of the 7 Deadly Sins (Sins that may lead you to eternal damnation). Fat people are the living embodiment of 3 of them - Sloth, Greed and Gluttony. We look down on fat people because they offend our sensibilities at some deep, almost unconscious level, that we have as a bone deep part of our culture. (Not saying it's right, just saying why.)

Solar Pressure May Help Kepler Return To Planet-Hunting Duties 46

Zothecula writes "Last August, it looked as if NASA's Kepler space telescope was as good as scrap due to the failure of its attitude control system. Now the space agency proposes what it calls the K2 mission concept, which may fix the problem by using the Sun to regain attitude control and allow Kepler to resume its search for extrasolar planets."

Not true. Not everyone is web savvy like you may be. Not everyone is knowledgeable enough to seek out all the available alternatives. People depend on the press corps to do their jobs in an unbiased manner. We both know they don't, and that should get someone to seek alternatives. Though it doesn't and yes that may be their own fault. I have been registered independent since I first registered to vote. I primarily vote 3rd party or at least who I think will represent me the best.

You think this is crybaby stuff bullshit? What the heck? Expecting the majority of the population to be like you is shortsighted at best. I mean we already have the democrats dictating who journalists are. This isn't crybaby bullshit. This is a concerted effort by the corporate leadership of this country to enrich themselves and their corporate friends off of your and my hard work. You are a 14th amendment citizen. The enemy. Chattel. Slave!

I am not playing any games. Do you think if those other options on the ballot got equal coverage in the debates and on main stream news that people would see those other options the same? The only parties that are ever covered are the R and D's. Certainly you aren't going to try to discount or deny that.

Are you sure? Just because the system only allows the choice of R or D doesn't mean that the people are happy with that. I don't want to get in some argument about voter fraud, but there is at the very least enough evidence out there to warrant a proper investigation. Although the investigators will likely be republican or democrat. The best way to deal with the opposition is to control it.
