Or they could just move to a country without the freedoms that they fear so greatly!

Except back then even cannons were owned by private citizens. Had a battle coming up and needed a cannon? Start talking to the well-to-do in the town to see who can bring out their big weaponry.

This is about the stupidest response I have heard. How long are you going to wait while being killed or raped for the chance to get a phone to call the police and then wait some more for them to show up. If you get the chance to grab the phone, you also have the chance to grab the gun. One situation you might save your life, the other is where the police inspect your dead body for clues as to who did it. Police don't prevent crime, they chase after it when it is all over.

Yeah, us Americans had such an easy time with those simple minded desert dwellers in Iraq, didn't we. Just take a look at the combat we have been in lately and you can easily see that a bunch of guys with AR-15s can do quite a lot against the full on US military.

And in this very case the people that were first put behind bars were thought to be innocent and the police did a horrible job at actually using evidence to figure out who did it. So yeah, being innocent does not mean you won't end up in prison.

Cats also display wave-particle duality when stuck into a box with a radioactive particle, Geiger counter, hammer, and a vial of poison gas.

To me it sounds like everybody can just get an extra 40 minutes of sleep each day. What is wrong with that!

Kids who were raised with cats don't have allergies. Some of them develop a sensitivity when they go off to college and aren't around cats every day like they used to be. I think your medical research needs work!

You go ahead and listen to the people that tell you what to do. They told you to avoid peanuts when young so you won't die from an allergic reaction. Well it turns out they created a bunch of allergic people who now have to worry for the rest of their life about dying if they touch a peanut. They certainly know what's best, don't they.

You can avoid every germ out there and we'll see who ends up healthier. I will take the germs, because that makes your immune system stronger.

Right, in third world countries. How many die in countries with hospitals that can give simple things like fluids and antibiotics. . . almost none. That is my point. If they have to lie to you to try to get you getting the vaccine, then there must be some alternative reason besides it is just a good idea!

The premise is that they are coming to Earth to attack it. They must have a reason to attack us if they are doing it, right? Then what could that reason be? Material, food (including us), planet to live on, possibly a few others. If they would like to live on what we would consider an inhabitable planet and want nothing from us, then they would not be attacking us in the first place and you missed the whole point of the question.

That's right out of Wallace & Gromit's "The Wrong Trousers".

But we still should all go out and get every damn flu shot that they say we should. Because even though there is fraud, it is still very sound science and there is no fraud going on. Their trust is and always will be at the highest levels. And if you don't have the required levels of trust then you must report for your social mind reconfiguration training.

Thank you citizens!

I don't mean to imply that I feel that vaccines are not great things. I agree they did huge benifit to health and our society in general. In fact, I plan on getting my daughter immunized to some things.

When this measles thing started up in the news, I even thought it was time for MMR. But a little research and I find the stats they are touting all over the news are such misleadings that I feel they are lying about it. The death rate they give is for the world, where our country has nowhere near the problems with getting the disease.

So, if they are trying to mislead us that much, then I know it's for alternative reasons. Trying to cover for their horrible fuck-up with the flu vaccine, or they want to make even more money by telling us that it is going to need another booster to be truley efective. I'll save my limited number of injections for the truely serious.

The rate of measles infection was going down drastically before the vaccine was created. The antibiotics are for the secondary problems, not the measles. Better general health and healthcare will also have atbig impact on modern cases. Just because you aren't aware of the latest studies on the effectiveness of multiple vaccinations does not make it incorrect.
