I agree wholeheartedly.

To say that the genuinely mentally ill can "hold" on to political point of view and faithfully (or rationally) express it is to totally disregard their fundamental inability to grasp reality.

It is a contradiction of epic proportions.

Put down your political axes in need of grinding. There is noting to see here but society's inability to detect and secure "crazy-dangerous" people.

Move along now.

The reported gunman in custody is one Jared Loughner.

Here is the youtube channel of a "Jared Lee Loughner" , self identified as a student at Pima Community College.

Smells like a schizo-fruitbat to me.

Brave little rts0008/boy/girl/whatever...

Brave enough to type screedish little schoolyard insults that you would not have the courage to say directly to her, her husband's, or likely even to my face.

What is with you libs that makes you froth at the mouth and spit invectives at anyone in the public arena that even comes -close- to appearing to be an honest, decent parental/leader/mentor figure? Is is just anyone who resembles your parents? Or were your parents un-caring jerks and this is your way at getting back at anyone who looks like a "real" parent for not being your parent?

Help me out here. I'm trying to understand -why- you feel the need to be needlessly and unwarrantably rude and insulting to somebody that you have never met and likely have not done much reading about in all honesty. Is this simply a case pack-dog behavior?

Please explain your internal motivations to me.

Or...you could just do what (hopefully) your mother taught you to do as a child and that is to remember before you write nasty drivel like this, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all".

If you have a problem with Governor Palin's idea's and political views, I encourage, nay welcome, your commentary and debate on those -ideas-, but assuming you're an adult, let's agree to leave the name calling to the local schoolchildren.

Just because this is the internet, doesn't mean that manners don't apply here.

Gravity is not the big problem with Mars.

The lack of a molten iron core dynamo producing a real magnetic field is the killer. The magnetic field produced by the Earth's core prevents DNA from getting sliced up like you're at Benihana's.

Terra-forming Venus would be easier.

Not just -somebody-, but the evil, maniacal, Federal Government (with spending growing at close to 20% a year).

If you let them, they'll take away a few more of those pesky freedoms or yours, and then have the gall to send you a non-contestable tax bill for their trouble.

Non-Local Government is the -Ultimate Monopoly-.

Mike Masnick is a horrible, horrible source of information.

Ummmm.....He speaks well of -you-.

Next to what Obama has saddled both you and I with skyrocketing national debt, this will cost me very little.

The Mississippi River pours as much water into the Gulf of Mexico in -38 seconds- as the BP oil leak has done in two months.

You are displaying classic liberal exaggeration syndrome.

Perhaps you would be more comfortable running in circles, loosing feathers, clucking "The Oil is FALLING! The Oil is FALLING!".

Grow up. Travel some. Learn that numbers mean things.

...Oh..you mean like the office holder (Obama) that unilaterally declared the moratorium in the first place?

Obama has done enough damage to our economy.

His 6 month moratorium was overreaching and a cynical first installment for the anti-civilization, anti-prosperity "Cap-and-Tax" legislation being greased up to force down our throat like Obama's "Early Death Care".

One... --ONE-- well on over thirty thousand in the gulf had a blowout.

With over eighty thousand jobs at stake and a realistic 3 year wait for these rigs to return to the gulf, Obama's feckless, reactionary leadership example after example is showing him to be the empty suited, over-preened, wet behind the ears college boy he truly is.

But other than that, I have no opinion about this.

"I can just imagine what would happen if Microsoft had written the software."

Certainly, feeling you have just been f*cked by Microsoft is not a new sensation!

...the great UK honey bee diabetes epidemic of 2010.
 

I really hate being right in advance all the time.

Seriously, We don't play American Football in Jamaica so I'm a little Hazy as to what 4,244 sq mi (10,991 sq km) translates to in more standard SlashDot measurements.

A more "standard" SlashDot measurement???

What is the area of a typical parental basement?

The vacuum between that girl's ears must be vastly superior to the LHC's.

She must be studied.

Repeatedly.
