"country that is herding Palestinians into ghettos and slaughtering them"
Let me guess, if I will research more about it, it will end up like any other radio Yerevan news?

"Other are doing it too" is most shittest excuse in existence, Get lost, monkey without most of hair.

Aren't you cute little crackpot.

"The US government is about as uncorrupted as you're going to get."
"we're still one of the least corrupt governments in the world."
Nice goalpost moving there.

Hey, dipshit. I do not like USA, but this is just retardd.

Capitalism - while ridden with its own problems - still fare better than anything other in history of humanity. This is exactly reason why China did not end up like former USSR or North Korea.

"Falcon 9 experienced a double engine failure in the first stage and that the entire stage blew up just after the first stage separated.”
Funny that I did not seen that in live feed of any F9 launch. And I watched them multiple times. Must be this SpaceX kool aid.
I will not even mention little details like telemetry, feedback and that NASA can indepedently detect when something blows up, thankyouverymuch...

Launching rockets is not very safe in general. But some rockets can be safer than other rockets.

Singularity is point of view, not some absolute Holy Grail (people treating technology like that are no better than religious crackpots). For peasant from middle ages we are deep, deep in Singularity.

Wow, I predict this comment to be Godwinned fast.

Kurzweil? Same guy that "predicts" achieving immortality (accidentally, I swear) just before his own death? Wishful thinking is strong with this one. Do not take him seriously.

No shit, sherlock.

Yeah, equalize murder with smoking. You will go far, retard.

Why? They as for now can deliver circus and bread and will be capable of this for any predictable future. Just that.

"tyranny coupled with the lack of economic development is going to end in revolution. It's inevitable."
So what? Dictators are not most sane and/or reasonable lot.
"at some point the cost of revolution that I mentioned above will be seen in the eyes of the man on the street as less than the cost of allowing the regime to persist."
Like in Tunisia, Egypt and most dramatically Libya. Other examples seem to be destined to failure.
