Pretty much agreed. Already a higher proportion of people in their 20's are living with their parents. Just pack more family members into a single living space and do with less. It's possible to go pretty far in that direction. :-/

This is one of the great geek myths. People have been claiming this for over 100 years, but the overall trend is that average hours worked isn't changing (or specifically increasing for women; see link below). I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader why technological advancements tend to give added benefits to the richest parts of society and not the rest.

Good god, take a remedial writing class, please.

"On the other hand, you have the realm of vitamins and other alternative treatments which may not necessarily be shown to be effective in FDA-approved studies, but seem to offer genuine anecdotal evidence to their benefits."

Where "genuine anecdotal evidence" = "lies and misunderstandings".

Incorrect. Half of his DNA (on average) is copied in his sister. Therefore if the "male gay gene" as expressed in women causes them to have about twice as many children (as per the article), then just as much of his DNA gets into the next generation as if he himself had kids.

"It's not more work. It won't take more time out of your day than the way you gather food now."

Sounds very nice, but this is easily falsifiable. I order my groceries online (takes about 5 min per week), and receive them by delivery (about 2 min to unbox and put in the fridge). That's less time than it even takes to get dressed to go outside.

"When a Judge says the same thing you're legally required to believe him."

Unless they're a higher-level judge. Like the FISA court with its earlier ruling..

Don't be a douche by calling them "death taxes".

You miss my point. It's the exact same argument that the NSA put forth a week ago that FISA shot down at that time. If a lawsuit was determinative this week, then it should have been last week as well. The argument of why didn't change, yet FISA flip-flopped when it happened in practice.

Seriously.

Holy crap. Thanks for your link to the Tea Party News Network (TPNN), all is made wild-eyed clear.

Because the former is sustainable, while the latter is not.
