You're making the assumption that these people had no choice but to deal/use drugs in the first place.

The war on drugs is dumb, but as long as it carries the force of law it's just as dumb to get caught and charged with a felony because you had them in your possession.

I'm also tired of hearing "the corporations" used as boogeymen behind every problem with the world. How exactly do you think they benefit from the war on drugs? Legalized marijuana would create a huge new market with a lot of money moving through it-- a few people would get stupid rich, and a whole bunch of people would make a good living.

This is simply not true, as there is no such thing as this "gold" you speak of in EVE. Also, math fail.

You can buy roughly 10 F-16s for the price of 1 new F-22. You know that in training exercises the F-22 had triple digit kill to loss ratios against our own F-16s?

erm... you know that the atmosphere more or less rotates with the earth? Wind is by definition a difference between the velocity of the air and the velocity of the surface of the earth. For convenience, the earth is used as a fixed frame of reference. If you want to bring relativity into it, i'm happy to play ball... If you have such a poor understanding of physics, maybe you shouldn't be so condescendingly sarcastic when correcting people on it.

Just FYI -- A properly flown barrel roll is a 1g maneuver, which means that the passengers wouldn't even spill their drinks. Any airplane can do a barrel roll.

And is also an incredibly complex piece of equipment that relies on thousands of parts (some of which can fail silently and lead to incorrect output), has zero common sense or reasoning capability, and is only as good as the program it's running.

I drive a stick... I'd take your bet. Only stipulation is that I get a compass.

You're wrong. There is no physical connection at all between the cockpit and the control surfaces. EVERYTHING is filtered through a computer. And I have no idea where you got the idea that the computer will automatically "guess" at the correct airspeed in the event of a sensor failure... In a Boeing, the pilot is in command. In an airbus, the pilot must ask politely...
