But you are still basing your belief on a combination of unsubstantiated (made up) constants and statistics deprived from those made up numbers. We only have one data point of planets with life, namely the earth. Everything in the Drake equation is fictitiously speculation.

Fine, imperialism. ISIS has taken significant portions of two countries already and has vowed to conquer more. Should that not be enough to motivate the nations to crush them?

Yeah, so many do not realize that ISIS and groups like them are acting like Nazi Germany. The world went to war against Germany to fight Nazism knowing that not every German was a Nazi but something had to be done to stop them. All of the silent muslims are either secret supporters or complacent in their silence to the atrocities committed much like how the germans that refused to stand up to the nazis in germany are partially to blame for the holocaust.

The terrorists want as many people as possible to live in a non-specific paralysing fear where you are afraid to provoke the enemy rather than having a desire to take the fight to them. Self-censorship only serves their cause. The west needs to see them for the monsters that they are and admit which religion/ideology drives them. They are simply following the example of their prophet because he did similar things. If you call them non-Islamic then by extension you are calling Muhammad non-Islamic as well which is ridiculous. What the terrorists do not want is the public in the western nations getting angry and calling for a coalition to defeat ISIS like the allies defeated Nazism and fascism in WWII.

You are a special kind of dumb aren't you? You are simultaneously talking about your unsubstantiated "religious" belief in alien life while attacking other religions because they do not believe what you believe? Bravo, you are as bright as ISIS.

Sorry but what the hell does response time have to do with photography and viewing the resulting photographs on the monitor? Go back to playing your FPS.

That might or might not be so bad. It really depends on the cost of living where you live. You might be better off than someone making 100k where the cost of living is really high.

Some activist idiot ran a script on Wikipedia changing all references non-trans to CIS destroying the integrity of articles discussing historical TransJordan and non-TransJordan prior to the 1967 war with Israel.

Will the autonomous cars crash if you get out without paying?

I did not realize that Chinese was a race. I thought it was a nationality. Is this like how people who question Islam are called racists? Islam is also not a race but a religion and potentially an ideology. Should people oppose communism be called racists too?

Equality? Marriage? Marriage is a social and societal construct which is granted certain collective rights and privileges in exchange for some loss of rights and freedoms. The governments roll is supposed to only recognize marriage. It did not define traditional marriage in the first place. If the government wanted to create a civil legal construct like say "civil union" to include non-traditional marriage then they could do that but to suggest that individual jurisdictions have the right to redefine marriage to include same sex couples is preposterous. You cannot change what you did not own in the first place. Marriage is a construct of all of human society and is not at the whim of any single government authority. You are not any less equal if you remain unmarried, in fact your individual freedom of movement is greater.

So basically you are saying that you are saying that voted liberal or NDP and that you love the CRTC and that harper's people are mean for challenging them and you possibly work for one of the companies that makes up ROBELLUS? You seem also be a fanboy of "science" which is a field of study which wants you to stop anthropomorphising it and stop assigning political or idealogical bias to it. Science is a useful tool for discovery but you need to learn to think for yourself and not be afraid to not believe everything someone tells you just because they have a specific title. Don't be so damn naive.

Why does it make sense? Because America? Even with this token gesture, it will likely be the last Boeing plane used for the president's fleet.

Sorry but how is it a miracle? Have you not seen the commercials from the Harper government about changing the wireless industry in favour of the consumers? Did previous governments even attempt to reform the CRTC or how the wireless industry treats consumers? The answer is no so why the anti-harper rhetoric? Previous governments either did nothing to improve the industry for the benefit of consumers or made it worse by appointing industry cronies to the CRTC board. If you want to blame why it was bad, look at previous liberal governments.

Yes and that was implemented by a Liberal Prime Minister named Pierre Elliot Trudeau. The left like to talk about how they believe in rights and freedoms but once they get in power, their tune changes.
