Comment Re:Where will this end? (Confused Canadian) (Score 2) 986

I'm a Canadian and I'm confused.
As I see it, Americans take pride in individualism. If the U.S. government does too much, or gets too big, it's 'Socialism', or even worse 'Communism'.
The constitution, defends the right to bear arms, so don't even think about limiting rights to guns. The constitution is sacred...

If the government wants to monitor every thought in the country, even through it's unconstitutional, and it's secret...
go ahead...
I'm sure you have a good reason...
WHAT????

I DON'T GET IT.
Where's the individualism, where's the fight for the constitution, isn't the government too big....
What am I missing?

Comment Could Cigarettes Modulate the Effects of Soda? (Score 1) 287

The problem with this type of science is that it only examines one variable at a time.
I strongly suspect that those children that are smoking cigarettes with their soda will be mellowed out, but sadly the study failed to even consider this, which leads to unnecessary alarmist reactions.

I've toured several Asian factories and this is the reality of Asian work life. People live in factory dormatories, work 6 VERY long days a week, and sleep at their desks when they get tired. We can pretend that we're shocked, but we all know that goods from Asia are dirt cheap and yet we never seem to ask "WHY"? Is this willful blindness? Until we start imposing tariffs based on unequal labour standards, this will never change.
