"Even our grasp of science is much the same despite your probable assumptions on that issue."
If you don't believe AGW, then you do NOT understand science at all. SPORT.

No, it in no WAY UNDERMINES THE COUNTRY. science has NEVER UNDERMINED THE COUNTRY. IT allows us to make change BEFORE THE COUNTRY IS

and yeah, I am a hell of a lot smart then you. You know what? it doesn't matter becasue the scientific facts are the fact, regardless of how smart I am, or how mind numbingly stupid you are.
DESTROYED, SPORT.

The facts of AGW aren't even hard facts. Any college could build test that falsify it, hell and decent 8th grade lab could test it. You even notice the deniers NEVER GO AFTER THE FACTS? Always making things up, always ad homs, always cherry picking but never address the scientific fact.
Simple basic scientific facts.
You people need to be rounded up and taught basic science and critical thinking, you are LITERALLY hurting the country.

They are for EVERYONE. it not there fault of greedy psychopaths refuse to believe facts.

The drug war is bad enough, but when the DEA waits until just before harvest to destroy fields they know about... really gripes my cookies. They let it consume all that water, *then* they destroy it. And of course they'll destroy small backyard grows that don't even push people into the next water usage tier. When Joe Sixplant's grow is pushed over, where does he buy weed? From big growers illegally diverting.

Comment Re:Elective surgery on a critical organ (Score 1) 550

Someone who shall remain nameless once told me I looked so much better without glasses, I should get the surgery.

I place LASIK in the same category as nose-jobs, breast augmentation, etc. Unless you are truly freakish (e.g., Golf-ball shaped nose or something) I have a hard time justifying it. If you're normative in appearance, IMHO any ethical plastic surgeon should refer you to a psychiatrist but they generally don't because MONEY.

Anyway, totally not going to get a laser in my eye. Those ads for dry eye medicine you see? It's because of one of the most common complications. No thanks.

Glasses. Hundreds of years, reasonable outcomes. LASIK? Maybe it'll be proven as risk-free as glasses some day, but probably not until I'm long dead and buried. Vanity isn't worth the risk to me; but I understand others think differently.

1) Something might go wrong

That's a pretty weak excuse. Something might go wrong while wearing glasses to. Maybe you'll get hit by a buss on the way to get new glasses. Oh MY!

FYI: there has never been a case of blindness from LASIK.
