It's for real. The author is delusional.
Somehow I doubt this. Homeschooling is a growing trend.
If you don't trust what the government says about vaccines; do you think you would trust the education from the government?
The biggest problem with vaccines was their unbridled success. Because vaccines eliminated those terrible diseases and all that remains are distant memories from a dying generation; you have functional retards that publish crap like this: http://www.amazon.com/Melanies...
the value of general science research that isn't chasing a short term profit.
you must be some sort of communist.
Each grain of sand is useless by itself but with enough sand and water you can build sand castles.
And company's never build off of government investments? Fed Ex and Amazon should build their own roads and postal system or else they are just as bad as the government. Google should have to build their own internet or else they are taking advantage of government thievery right? Obviously the government prevented private entities from investing their money into such research and development.
What about the money made back by some of those investments through businesses that were created? Roads, postal systems, internet, etc foster a larger/healthier economy which is good for everyone and why everyone pitches in!
Company's need an environment with which to operate and that is usually provided by the government in the form of various projects, infrastructure, research, defense, protections, courts, etc. Because those things are boring, expensive, and not profitable but help nearly everyone.
Provided at gunpoint? More like mutual understanding; businesses are good at somethings and governments can do other things. You are an idiot if you think your taxes do not provide anything useful.
It's also easier to reread something ambiguous or poorly worded to get the meaning as opposed to seeking back a few seconds.
this good post comrade. deny, derail, and diminish.
we will spill the ketchup onto the french frys and salt the plates to make those capitalist pigs our bacon for breakfast!
is akin to "you have no evidence that homeopathy works, despite searching for it, but it could still totally be true". Sure, it might be true, but that's a ridiculously banal position to take in an argument: "I win because I don't need to assert anything".
Ummm.... No. The validity of homeopathy is testable and verifiable by scientific rigor. The question about God is purely philosophical and personal. It cannot be tested, verified, or even acknowledged by science. That question is a non-sequitur in science because it doesn't change the laws of nature that we have observed.
Seriously, if Odin, Zeus, or Jesus came from the sky and said; "Yep it was me all along, here is proof of me. See ya next millennium! BTW, be excellent to each other." Would that change the data observed from the LHC? Or would it change the theory of the Higgs Boson? (it might change what it is [It's really just the love touch of his noodley appendage which gives matter mass])
It is all speculation and speculation has no place in science. Agnosticism recognizes that anything outside of reality is unknown and water is wet! However, instead of defaulting to the disbelief (atheism which is scientifically aligned) or belief (theism) they err on "outside of our reality anything is possible however unlikely therefore I don't know without evidence."

they succeed in "falling on their ass"
I am an expert at sitting on my ass you insensitive clod!
Why should I run and jump when there is a perfect capable (and awesome) robot that can do it for me?
Robots will take our jobs and our exercise routines!
issue with the kernel, sysvinit and/or php
So, what you are saying is that I can blame systemd? Or did I miss it and systemd is our savior?
I am confused and unsure how to be outraged by this. I am going to go eat ice cream.
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
