Is that you, Mike?

Still, we try.

Is that few enough for ya? ;)

Mike, is that you?

They have found a way to game the system, and then found others who will finance and follow their criminal model. Eventually with time and money the foam rises to the top of the septic tank...

I'm just going to come out and say it: you're a fucking idiot. That huge amount of scientists (i'd love a list of them, by the way) ends up being a handful of actual scientists in remotely connected fields who get a large portion of their income from oil companies; some scientists in completely non-related fields...also many of whom get money from oil companies; and then a bunch of idiots like you who have your head up your ass who are nothing more than whining, simpering idiots that are too damn stupid to even know what science is.

The problem is too many stupid idiots who want to remain as stupid as fucking possible, but then think their ignorant, full of shit opinion means something. Go out and be as stupid as you want to be... but don't expect anyone to think anything more of you than that you're a fucking idiot.

It's now the non-pay camera system works. They take every car's picture, usually driver and license plates, then discard the snaps after you successfully pay and clear the booth. That way if you decide to stop and feign paying or take off, they already have your picture rather than trying to snap a quick shot as you bolt out of the gate...

I am often amazed at how these radical conservative evangelicals who blindly profess that God exists because they have faith, turn around and try to suggest science proves their "faith."

Obviously their "faith" is a bunch of bullshit, and they have neither faith in God, nor faith in their own faith in God. Ive also often thought that is a God is so insecure he has to have a bunch of uneducated idiots running around professing his existence with every breath they take... he must not be much of a God in the first place.

Sure, although the name actually wasn't Jesus until got Romanized... but sure, i get your point. I'm sure there's a number of people named Jesus in the town i currently live in.

No, people started doing that long before those days. Since the early 1980's, I would always avoid checked baggage so it would make the airport arrival much less of a hassle, not having to go to baggage claim and wait for the suitcase-go-round. Also, then I could go out the "Departures" level which was completely un-crowded when all the traffic was at the "Arrivals" area level, and jump into my prearranged ride. Unless I had a very large suitcase, for a trip of over a week, I would never check luggage. Plus, it avoided the "lost luggage" horror completely that way.

Of course, eventually that led to jerk-offs trying to bring their entire baggage as carry-on, even if they had 3-4 bags per person. This led to over-stuffed bins and extended boarding and leaving sessions, so after it got to a certain obnoxious level, the airlines started first limiting the size and number of carry-ons, then eventually charging for them.

You're talking to one now. A long time ago, back in the 1980's, I went to San Mateo, and my luggage went to San Jose. That sucked - it took the airline about 3 days to track down, find my suitcase, and deliver it to my hotel. Luckily, I was staying 2 weeks, and I had (very little) extra cash to go buy a pair of underwear and socks, a toothbrush and a coat (it was a bit cold in the evenings at the time). I used to travel frequently back then for work, and this was the only time in hundreds of flights they ever got it wrong, but holy crap, what an inconvenience!

I'm guessing that due to economies of scale, the more popular and longer routes are run more, so since there's more of them and more competition, they drive the prices down on them. The shorter in-between flights aren't as popular so they are more "Specialized" and cost more?

If you're "life" is almost entirely constructed by committee to serve as a figurehead, as Jesus' was at the Council of Nicaea, there's a pretty good chance that most all of it is nothing more than bullshit. The Romans kept fantastic records, and were probably on that border between anally retentive and accountant level.... yet they have no records of any of the bullshit that makes up the new testament. The only remotely contemporary is a notation in one of Josephus' works, except that is widely considered to have been added in by someone else at a much later date (the information was not found in previous works by Josephus, and the writing style is radically different than Josephus). For such a massive event that the Bible portrays it to be, you'd think someone there would have written down something like: "Socialist hippie rises from the dead; papyrus at 11."

The balls of someone suggesting we celebrate some nut who packed a bomb in his underwear!! That's enough to make a lot of people testy.

I am saddened in a way that the guy didn't have a partner so we could label them a pair of nuts...but you can't have everything.

You can't be as much of a fucking idiot as your post makes you look, can you? Are you so stupid you think that a label defines people?

The democratic party of Lincolns time was the rural conservative party who were opposed to the idea of a "United" States. You'd have to be a complete fucking idiot to compare the democratic party of today with the democrats of Lincolns time. Those same-minded conservatives fled the democratic party in the 60's to join the republican party....are you too damn stupid to have even a basic understanding of history?

You might also buy a dictionary and use it... you clearly do not have a basic understanding of "communism" either. Your anti-intellectualism is on full display.

And here less than a month ago i got modded as a troll for saying how much of a piece of crap the F-35 was, and pointing out it's massive overruns in budget bullshit. This has been in the news for years now. I can't believe there are still idiots who think this program is worth a shit.
