Comment Re:Coal power cars make little sense (Score 1) 257

You are right no one can change my mind, only facts can. And 40 mpg is efficient fossil fuel equivalent not hybrid - i can't take you seriously when you fail to read at a 3rd grade level. I used that study because it is highly biased toward electric vehicles, if they admit it it is quite likely true, if not overinflated. The reality is modern diesels far outperform electrics in 80% of the worlds population. Not everyone lives in Finland. Just keep closing your mind to facts and you can continue be part of the problem with global warming and this planet in general.

Data puts it at 0.6% in the UK: http://www.theguardian.com/com...

In the period of the review, there were 5,651 prosecutions for rape and 111,891 for domestic violence. During the same period there were 35 prosecutions for making false allegations of rape, six for making false allegation of domestic violence and three for making false allegations of both rape and domestic violence.

So you know, there's some conclusive research you can look at.

That's not research its public records which aren't very accurate. I'm not sure about Europe, either in case law or in social pressures, that's true. However you can be assured the actual false claims were higher considering that it takes a pretty high level of evidence to convict someone. Assuming no false convictions (a dubious assumption) there is around a 30% margin of people who are acquitted - some may be false accusations with no substantial evidence. In the United States its so taboo to even suggest the claim is false you need incontrovertible evidence to even stand a chance. The reality is a study would likely reveal a false reporting of rape much higher than actual conviction rate.

Comment Re:STDs? (Score 1) 369

And still to this day aids is a huge concern to homosexual males simply because they equate not being able to knock their partner up with safe sex. So we know with absolutely certainty that that will not happen, a large significant population will use this instead of using a condom; And many of them will die, but not until after they spread AIDs to even more people. There are no technical solutions to anything that are worth a damn. The onyl solution to pregnancy and STDs is common sense, unfortunately this "solution" will only act as a smoke screen for many.

So let me get this straight (no pun intended). You are saying gay people will use the male pill as a replacement for condoms thus increasing stds? Wtf lol. Education, free birth control and free condoms are a much better option.

Glad you agree stall torque is irrelevant because it says nothing. It's as bad as a voltage rating on a drill or a c discharge rate on a battery. The stats you give for acceleration can be had at a lesser price also so I'm glad you are helping me prove a point, thanks.

yes i freely admit I am biased against electrics. It's because people, the media, poorly informed enviornmentalists, etc, have been lying for years. No one seems to want to talk about co2/distance and the fact in the majority of population centers electrics are nearly as bad at polluting as gas cars and underperform economy cars especially diesels. This misinformation hurts the environment by people thinking they are doing the most good when they are not. Note I said nothing about the charging network, but yes the recharge time also hurts performance.

while the tesla is a good car, what gets me is saying it is good for the environment. Just like the SUV that tesla is going to make. It's not, it will likely also underperform an economy gas car.

Condoms, when used correctly, are around 70% effective. Besides a vasectomy males have basically no other options. This, along with a condom, would finally give males a chance at being responsible for preventing unwanted pregnancy on their own.

if you actually cared about stds you probably should be promoting banning alcohol as I'm quite sure that leads to the majority of bad decisions

The claim that a male birth control pill is in stages of awaiting approval for testing are likely true. Many other types of pill have been tried, it's quite plausible one will come soon. I'm not astroturfing. If you read the comment i said 'when the day comes' meaning it will likely be someday. Perhaps you are getting paid by a women's group to detract from the benefits of a male pill.

In before parent gets modded into oblivion. http://www.bloombergview.com/a...

false rape claims are between 2 and 40% depending on who you listen to, personally I think its around 10% despite no real conclusive research done on it. Given the castrate and murder then check facts mentality America has degenerated into (thinking of rolling stone here) its a serious concern for males everywhere (at least in the us)

Comment Reminds me of the B ship (Score 5, Informative) 233

Can't help but think of douglas Adams when i read about this venture: These tales of impending doom allowed the Golgafrinchans to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The story was that they would build three Ark ships. Into the A ship would go all the leaders, scientists and other high achievers. The C ship would contain all the people who made things and did things, and the B ark would hold everyone else, such as hairdressers and telephone sanitizers. They sent the B ship off first, but of course the other two-thirds of the population stayed on the planet and lived full, rich and happy lives until they were all wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone.
