Comment Re:Well guys if you were passed over for a positio (Score 1) 517

You now have a basis to sue. Have at it.

By all means, I want to see the giant mangina who brings the lawsuit because "White men are being discriminated against".

I bet he looks something like this:

Mangina ? Such hate speech

I happen to love the decision regarding municipalities. It was mindboggingly insane that those laws could get passed anywhere and good reason to bring back the "He needed killing" defense.

Redefining broadband was pointless and little more than playing around with the parameters of an already corrupt system of subsidies.

Title II is better than nothing but not what needs to be done. I don't care if ISP X wants to set up fast lanes or not as long as I can choose not to use them. What we have from the FCC is very much better than just letting the ISPs make the choices but it does nothing about letting me make choices.

And yet, the 8 years Clinton was in office, shit was good in America. Really fucking good. Then Bush came in and fucked shit up.

If you believe that Clinton was personally responsible for the prosperity, and had nothing to do with the economic problems that hit just as he was leaving office, there is very little hope for you.

What exactly is your criticism of my post? Your's is so bizarre and confused it's difficult to tell.

I was perfectly able to understand his post. He pointed out that there are commercial uses for salt. On the other hand your post and attitude seems to scream of a lack of thought. I have no idea how anyone can write this line

Desalination on the level being talked about here would produce huge amounts of salt and other minerals

As if it is some sort of problem.

Researchers have variously suggested that there were from one to three distinct pulses, or phases, of extinction.[7][11][12][13] There are several proposed mechanisms for the extinctions; the earlier phase was probably due to gradual environmental change, while the latter phase has been argued to be due to a catastrophic event. Suggested mechanisms for the latter include one or more large bolide impact events, massive volcanism, coal or gas fires and explosions from the Siberian Traps,[14] and a runaway greenhouse effect triggered by sudden release of methane from the sea floor due to methane clathrate dissociation or methane-producing microbes known as methanogens;[15] possible contributing gradual changes include sea-level change, increasing anoxia, increasing aridity, and a shift in ocean circulation driven by climate change.

Really, the PT event was the perfect storm of extinction events.
