It will rise with demand up to 300K, which means "the cap is now 300K."
So there's still a cap.

you forgot to say, "no homo."

While you've brought up some interesting points about serial killers, I'm curious if you would also address the fact that school shooters are always young white males.
I think that links quite well to the fact that the hero in pretty much every hollywood movie is a young white male who shoots a lot of people, but that's mostly speculation.

It still really bugs me that people refer to U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T.A. (Uniting (and) Strengthening America (by) Providing Appropriate Tools Required (to) Intercept (and) Obstruct Terrorism Act ) as 'the Patriot Act."
If you want a nickname, call it the "spying and torturing American citizens act", otherwise refer to it by it's name: U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T.A.

KthxBi.

option 1: the entire universe has expanded in the last couple decades, including the distance between every particle, but not the size of protons.
option 2: protons have shrunk in the last couple decades
option 3: one of our measuring methods is wrong for a reason we don't yet understand.
Hint: those are sorted in reverse order by ridiculous over-complication.
If you hadn't misplaced your razor, Mr. Occam, you'd have already eliminated the first one on your own.

I'm with you on this, man.
Bush's warrantless wiretapping combined with running up a huge deficit, thereby increasing taxes long term pissed me off as well.

Ah yes, because "adult" always means pornography. And copyright infringement is murder.
Also, politics is applied philosophy, and philosophy is applied thinking, and thinking is life.
So while life is not politics, politics is life. You deprecate it to your own detriment.

True enough - but there should be a reasonable bright line where you are making, say, 100 times more than the average wage for a worker in %COUNTRY_YOU_LIVE_IN% where we can argue that paying a lower percentage in taxes than said workers is not contributing back enough.

I bring in approximately 5% of what Romney makes, yet I pay slightly more than double the percentage in taxes. That's because his horse and car elevators etc. are business expenses, while my car and clothing purchases are not (also that nifty rule about money you earn is taxed at 35% while money your money earns is only 15%).

And tax rebates are a misnomer - some companies actually receive "rebates," larger than their total tax payments. I will continue to call those subsidies, since they in no way earned that money.

Are you seriously claiming that the wars in Iraq and Iran have decreased the number of terrorists & terrorist attacks in the world?
Now, I'll admit that killing Osama bin Ladin probably had a positive effect on making people think twice about joining Al Qaeda, but since that was a separate event in Pakistan, I'm gonna venture a guess that the money spent in Iraq & Afganistan was a complete and total waste.

Terrorism is a fairytale used to scare children, and it looks like it's working.

I'm fairly sure that by calling a method "logical" the OP did not preclude the possibility that other methods are logical.
If you can present a case for a specific alternate model that is currently in use being logical, that would be meaningful. Meantime, since the USA has completely incoherent and inconsistent attitudes and methods for dealing with renewable energy, the fact that Germany uses any type of logic in their methods is welcome news.

If you think that human beings evolved from monkeys, it's obvious that you did not understand high-school biology.
Perhaps you should rely on someone smarter than yourself to dole out those pain meds for you.

Going to the moon again will cost billions. Running a few isotopic scans on rocks, involves a grant of several thousand dollars.
Do you grasp the difference between a thousand dollars and a billion dollars?

Now, the war in Iraq probably cost more than ten trips to the moon, and was a far less productive use of our resources - but that's a very different argument.

We need a "-1 Racist Asshole" mod. You'd have to search hard to find a Muslim-American who hates freedom more than you.

Muslim countries, political groups and terrorist organizations have killed thousands of westerners in the last couple decades.
In the same time period, the US government has killed millions of Muslims.
But yes, all the problems in the middle east are caused by some video that requires high-speed internet to watch.

I see Harley's that meet all but one of those requirements all the time! All they need to do is quintuple the price and throw an american flag on it and these things will sell like crazy.
