So you think that science experiments should receive punishments and gun crimes should receive slaps on the wrist?

You seem to have completely misread what he wrote. He pretty clearly implied that was ridiculous.

I doubt it has anything to do with race, and everything to do with 'chemicals'. Chemicals are scary and the tool of terrorists and criminals. Bombs, cancer, and chakra depletion are because of chemicals.

I think you may be missing the point of condemning racism if you find it acceptable to casually condemn an entire region as being of similar mind.

Exactly, and that goes on a lot, even among otherwise intelligent people. "That *large diverse group* is so bigoted!"

Not only are comments like that repulsive because of their innate stupidity, they're harmful because they are recasting the basic elements of racism and bigotry in a more socially tolerable guise, against a group that the poster feels it's OK to condemn based on stereotypes.

And I'm not from the south, so this isn't defensiveness. It's irritation. Just think about what you say.

It would still follow the shortest line in curved space; just the opposite direction.

Good post. The anti-GMO crowd is as foolish and dangerous as the anti-vaccine crowd. And, like the anti-vaccine crowd, they are self-deluded, and convinced that they are right, despite the absolute lack of any evidence.

The only point they have in their favor is the questionable behaviors of certain companies, which are a consequence of some bad laws we have, not anything to do with the technology.

If it's effectively random, it'll improve the weather in half the places. If it's not random, it'll improve the weather in half the places.

The world's ecosystem has generally thrived when the planet was warmer than it is today.

Yeah. I switch between Firefox & Chrome, do a fair amount of browsing and gaming, and I don't think I've ever ran anything that used WebGL. Has it just not hit yet, or is it like VML, and will never be commonly used?

Dude, calm down. You're talking to a troll that's just trying to get you riled up. I doubt he believes what he's saying, he's just having fun pushing your buttons. He's anonymous for a reason, a cowardly reason. Ignore him.

Sadly, I think he was serious. If you look at his posting history, this fits in with his other opinions. Kind of boggles the mind, doesn't it?

Wow am I glad I don't live in the US if that's the usual response to a rape claim.

It's not. In fact, the Ohio case is unusual enough that it made national news as a scandal.

Explain what right of yours is being infringed by the conversation you're overhearing? Your right not to be offended? Your right to control other peoples speech? Your right to not ever be challenged?

It certainly is. But...

It also performs better than HTML5 + javascript. If you create an animation or game, it requires a MUCH beefier computer to run it at the same level in HTML5 as in flash. So, doesn't that mean HTML5 is even more of a resource hog?

Although I'll concede flash is buggier.

Note: He's basically retracted that piece. He later admitted he shouldn't have made that judgement because he doesn't know enough about videogames.

Well, maybe they thought they had 'Democrat' covered when they detected drug use.

"how can she be married to someone who could beat her, even though he never has?"
Hey, that's progressive feminist logic.
