Comment Re:SCREW EVERYONE ELSE (Score 1) 2416

Yeah, all those previous, generous generations provided free health care for all Americans. But this selfish generation just hates Obamacare. No, wait... Then again, all those previous generations paid most of their bills. We are putting the next generation so deep in debt so we can get what we want without paying for it ourselves, they are born bankrupt. The most selfish American generations looks at their children and says SCREW YOU.

Money has to come from somewhere to cover people with pre-existing conditions, (people that will cost the insurance company more than they will ever pay in). That money can only come from you. Health Insurance costs went up 9% in 2011 because of the first phase of Obamacare kicking in. Welcome to the largest Tax increase in history... now that Obamacare is officially a Tax.

Comment Bias is rhetoric. Apodixis For Example (Score 4, Informative) 221

Apodixis: A rhetorical device that stealthily inserts a false pretense of general knowledge. For example "As everyone knows..." Or, as this article does: "expected political slant - civil rights tends Democrat" The Republican Party was formed for the sole purpose of overturning Democratic Legislation that allowed slavery to expand into the Western Territories. The first Republican President freed the slaves. Every Governor of every state that let loose the police, the fire hoses and the dogs on minority students was a Democrat. Republicans broke the Democrat's filibuster of the Civil Rights Laws of the 60's Study rhetoric; don't fall for it. We are most vulnerable to the rhetoric we agree with. So, that's where we should put most of our scrutiny. Being tricked by an adversary is bad enough, being tricked by someone you support is truly insulting.

And so the data is of course paired down to three core samples... only three... to give the exact match they were looking for... It would take a suspension of disbelief to follow that. Pathetic try. An enormous volume of data is tossed to find an anomaly - Trillions of dollars at stake - on three cores with all the rest disqualified. The fanatical out there need something to believe, and it was kind of you to provide it for them. Global data shows that any warming trend ended 11 years ago. So now instead of quoting the data, people like you are quoting anecdotal evidence. That might work with the uneducated masses, but I doubt it will wash here.

1. It wasn't a few suspect emails 2. Logically, yes they can - it's like saying a few minutes of blank audio tape can't take down a sitting president. Read them, read the source code and comments used to generate the falsified data. Read the enormous number of emails to the Peers to falsify the review. And then look at the roll these same journals played in this scheme. Your statement is inaccurate and shows your agenda. More lies to cover up the lies that have been revealed. Nothing new.

FCC Backs Net Neutrality, Chairman's Full Speech Posted 270

ArmyofGnomes writes "FCC chairman Julius Genachowski delivered Monday on President Obama's promise to back 'net neutrality' — but he went much further than merely seeking to expand rules that prohibit ISPs from filtering or blocking net traffic by proposing that they cover all broadband connections, including data connections for smartphones. Genachowski stated: 'I understand the Internet is a dynamic network and that technology continues to grow and evolve. I recognize that if we were to create unduly detailed rules that attempted to address every possible assault on openness, such rules would become outdated quickly. But the fact that the Internet is evolving rapidly does not mean we can, or should, abandon the underlying values fostered by an open network, or the important goal of setting rules of the road to protect the free and open Internet. ... In view of these challenges and opportunities, and because it is vital that the Internet continue to be an engine of innovation, economic growth, competition and democratic engagement, I believe the FCC must be a smart cop on the beat preserving a free and open Internet.'"
