...tan your god, Sol.

In Soviet Russia, your god Sol tans you!

What about fluoridation of water, the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we've ever had to face?

That article can't seem to make up its mind. First the caption for the first image says, "In the U.S. citizenship test, only 38 per cent of Americans passed [...]", and then below that it says "Although the majority passed, more than a third - 38 per cent - failed [...]". Which one is it? Did 38% fail, or did 38% pass? If Americans don't understand their government then apparently the Brits don't understand numbers, or at least are willing to ignore their meaning if it means a juicier headline.

Those tests were mostly performed in deserts and other remote areas, not "as air bursts in urban areas, [which] could produce so much smoke that temperatures would fall below those of the Little Ice Age of the fourteenth to nineteenth centuries, shortening the growing season around the world and threatening the global food supply.", to quote the paper. Also, I'm not sure what the size of the blips in that video signify. For example, the Trinity test near didn't produce a 40-mile wide fireball, as that video seems to imply.

You don't need a full piece of DNA, just lots of small pieces you can combine into a full one.

And you can fill in any remaining gaps with frog DNA!

It's funny, I've lived in the United States my whole life and only recently can I remember seeing world maps centered on North America. All the world maps I usually see are centered on the Prime Meridian, which is nice since the map cuts off somewhere in the middle of the Pacific, near the Bering Straits.

Well, New York City Mayor Bloomberg has openly said that we need to change our laws and the way we interpret the Constitution, for one. Give it some more time and I'm sure more of the same will crop up. http://politicker.com/2013/04/bloomberg-says-post-boston-interpretation-of-the-constitution-will-have-to-change/

Yeah, but given the guys trying to get you want to send you there anyway, what's the point?

It's less the "someone buying your vote using their own money" and more the "someone buying your vote by promising not to break your kneecaps with a baseball bat" that you should be worried about.

Where I come from they usually provide small plastic bags for you to put your fruits and vegetables in when you're shopping. This keeps them together and grouped by type, making things easier when you get to checkout. Incidentally they're extremely useful afterwards for cleaning up after your dog on walks.

While I agree that it is hypocritical to oppose a system and then turn around and surreptitiously make use of it, the "I don't think this should exist, but I'm taking what's mine" argument could be taken to mean that since she (presumably) paid into the system then she was merely retrieving what was already taken from her in the first place.

Capitalism, just like every other ism before it, is simply doomed.

That sounds like defeatism.

Also doomed.

The same can be said about those judging McAfee as guilty.

The US non-firearm homicide rate is higher than other Western nations, which suggests to me that we have a general violence problem, not a gun-specific violence problem.

But we're not talking about any of those clubs right now. We can show outrage about them when we discuss their respective issues. If people had to enumerate everything they get angry about every time they express some rage then every post would be a mile long and threads would take forever to read.
