While this might seem like it reduces aging, US is 45th or 46th in life expectancy globally. Other countries are not using these treatments, and men live an extra 10-12 years in some of them
Ugg, So much wrong info. 1st US is 36th in life expectancy, 2nd our neighbors to the north, Canada lives 2.7 years longer and they're #11. So as you can see there's a not really a difference in living 3 more years yet those 3 years span 25 other countries. Taking these treatments isn't going to kill you that much faster.

Remember Sarah Palin's sad story about the little girl who "came down" with autism after getting some vaccines?
No, I do remember Michelle Bachmann's story. But hey, it's easy to confuse which conservative woman from fly-over country said which stupid thing when the only place you get your news is from the Daily Show or the Colbert Report.

Part of the problem is that Lollipop offers little new, but does destroy existing functionality. Google Calendar is much less usable than before. Personal and business email is now handled by the same application, making it much more difficult to keep private and business separate. Etc..
Never really used the calendar function, but I did used to use the bluetooth connection in my car which was broken by Google's switch from the Bluez stack to the Broadcom one. So I actually like the change to lollipop since every Nexus device that ran anything newer than Froyo refused to work nicely(i.e. at all) w/ my car's bluetooth. Unless I could find a version of cyanogenmod to run on that device.

Well, why shouldn't the government save that group of idiots from their own actions? The government does it for so many other groups already. It seems to be its default action nowadays.
Zen fascists will control you. 100% natural! You will jog for the master race, and always wear the happy face.

The Telegraph and Guardian are respectable British publications. They all agree that Hungary is leaning fascist.
That word, you keep using it, I don't think means what you think it means. Seriously, the grauniad is anything but a respectable British publication. One should ask precisely why Hungary is heading towards fascism.

Normally I would be able to find equally absurd mutually exclusive contradictory view points held by Democrats to "balance" the posting and burnish my credentials as a "neutral" guy. But it is getting increasingly difficult. And I no longer care to be the "neutral" guy. And I have karma to burn.
Allow me to save you the trouble, you chose guns, like your absurd nuclear tipped bazooka, yet I bet you've never noticed or asked yourself why there aren't rifles sold in greater than 0.50 caliber? Hint, 1968 firearms act. Now, since you like talking about technology and time travel, I'll accept flintlocks as long as a "free press" applies only to presses and printing technology from the 1790s. See how hard that was? The sooner you recognize the boot stomping on your face isn't any softer when worn by someone with a D after their name, the happier you'll be.

Zen Fascists will control you, 100% natural!

So why has every environmental initiative in the past 40 years been pushed by the Democrats and resisted by the Republicans?
How the fuck did this get +4 insightful? The Kosdot is strong today. Let's go back less than 40 yrs ago to the Byrd-Hagel resolution that passed 95-0 in the US senate prior to Clinton signing the Kyoto Protocol. Do you honestly believe there were 95 republican senators at that time? Hint there wasn't.

No, the original intent was to ensure that slave owners could form militias to prevent slave revolts. The Founders were well aware of the inability of militias to stand against a professional army as consistently demonstrated in the American Revolution.
Federalist #46 would be to differ.

being a USian
American, you jackass, United States of America, shortens to American. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland shortens to British, not UKian.

like Scooter Libby outing Valerie Plame
You misspelled Richard Armitage. Btw, no one was convicted of outing Valerie Plame, Scooter was convicted of lying to investigators, and his prison sentence was commuted, not pardoned.

Regarding the lost 1410 lbs of the deadliest substance on Earth,
By what metric do you declare Plutonium to be the deadliest substance on Earth? I only ask b/c not all Plutonium is created equal, and if the stuff remains Pu for ~100 minutes is it really all that deadly?

Steyer actually does what Reid claims the Kochs do...)
Buys Republican politicians?
No, that would be Sheldon Adelson, another individual that "brave" Harry Reid won't say anything bad about.

So what you are saying is that whoever can buy the largest megaphone and drown out all other voices deserves to be heard more?
Yes, just like anybody with sufficient means can purchase or start a newspaper. Or do you not believe in freedom of the press either?

how we continue to protect them by paying them at lower rates than equivalently trained and experienced males. Them so lucky.
Seeing as how they account for 8% of workplace deaths, I would say, yes they are lucky.
