Petraeus is a part of the elite. The elite don't get real punishments. Now remember who your masters are, and beg them not to punish you for your impertinence! Oh, and Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
Well, thanks for showing up to tell us. It's so good of you to come on to a topic that you believe completely does not belong on
America needs people like you!
For a second I thought a member of the elite was actually going to be significantly punished, but these wise prosecutors have preserved the Aristocracy from shame!
Now, let's get about castrating Edward Snowden!
Wow! That's like crapping out a used turd.
Oh come on, Killer Joe rocked!
I'd rather have two Satans than Satan^2.
Because the only energy available anywhere is fossil fuels. Yup, there is no alternatives whatsoever.
Why is it exactly you assert the options are binary? Please elaborate.
And here come the psuedo-skeptics to attack anyone who even dares suggest what is in the interests of commercial entities may not entirely be in the interests of the wider society. I mean, God would never allow a universe to exist where humans could fuck themselves over. God wants unconstrained industries doing whatever the fuck they want, and we should just go and fucking kill anyone who ever even hints that maybe unconstrained resource extraction might possibly kind of potentially cause problems. Environmentalists are the only evil, and God loves money, CEOs, Koch brothers and AC's who post on Internet sites to condemn any concerns.
Oh, and Al Gore rapes bunnies!!!!!
I don't think we're poor at evaluating externalized costs. I think we're just very damned good at completely ignoring them, attacking anyone who tries to remind us of them, and undermining any kind of political or social solutions that might be brought forward. We are easily lead by the nose by those willing to tell us what to hear. We're cowards.
No, it wasn't useful. Promoting bullshit pseudo-science "cures" is not useful, it's vile and immoral.
HPV Vaccine? Just what is going on at these schools anyway...
The same thing that has always gone on. Kids have sex, and the HPV vaccine means that they are protected from a pretty nasty cancer.
According to the CDC, they are 93% effective http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vp...
That's pretty fucking close to 100%.

What a delightful little oxymoron.
You may find your black and white ideological extremism comforting, but in the real world, where real people live, collisions of liberties means there are no absolutes. In general terms, your freedom of action ends at the tip of my nose, so your liberties are not absolute.
Children have the same fundamental liberties as their parents, but are not deemed to have the emotional or cognitive maturity to exercise those liberties responsibly. The child's guardians is thus given considerable legal and moral authority over the child, but that authority is not absolute, because to make it absolute would essentially render the child's liberties null and void. And thus the courts can force a child to have life-saving procedure like a blood transfusion despite the protestation's of the child's guardian.
