Alright dude, if one day the UN wrestles domestic law making authority away from the constitution of the the largest, most powerful sovereign democracy on earth then you can come back here to this thread and say "I told you so".

No it really is. When the first reply to the thread was a conspiracy theory about UN mandated gun control it was all downhill from there.

I didn't address his point because it's a non-issue. From the text of the executive order there's nothing for the president to abuse. The actual text of the order is very bland and appears fairly harmless. It's an action plan for emergency preparedness that defines roles and responsibilities...

The jig is up. I'm a French-national working the system to spread socialized medicine and government mandated baguette lines to America. Viva La Revolución!

They already have a mole inside the offices of [H]ard|ocp?! How could we have been so blind to this?!

This must be in preparation of a joint Chinese-Kenyan invasion force floating just over the horizon in the Atlantic... To your Rascal Scooters brave patriots! They may take our lives, but they'll never take our FREEDOM.

Clearly this means the usurper-in-chief is about to send out his ACORN thugs to take our guns and deny us access to foxnews.com

The impression you give is that you're posting from somewhere deep inside the Alamo, draped in a lone star flag, eating chili from an upturned 10 gallon hat.

Why are you so upset about texas not making the cut? Does everything have to turn into a dick-waving contest?

Care to source that claim? There are different motivators for "going green", some altruistic, some not. It's true a lot of corporations are doing it for image reasons. They're motivated by money. They learned there's more money for them to make when their customers don't have to feel guilty...

That's not a solution, that's a hassle that I don't have to deal with now. Why would I want that trouble? With a standalone client I can have more than one inbox open on the same screen where I can quickly and flexibly do what I need to with my mail... Like easily saving messages to local...

No, webmail solutions aren't good enough, not by a long shot. How are they supposed to handle multiple accounts? I don't want to have to log into a different site or open another app each time I want to check a different email.

If there's one thing [H]forums posters hate more than Apple Inc., it's the environment.

That persons post wasn't advocating socialism in the slightest, so why even bring it up? By losing side of history, I'm talking about movement conservatism. Instead of the empty "love it or leave it" rhetoric, why not offer him a more substantial alternative viewpoint instead of insults?

No of course not, lot's of people develop basketball sized tumors. Those are pretty heavy.

Way to cheerlead. Too bad it's for the losing side of history.

My heart doesn't bleed for lard asses. If it did, they'd be jealous because of their constricted arteries and they don't need that kind of pressure.

Free markets can't exist, and there are no rational actors so he doesn't need to back up his opinion there. What your side of that argument needs to do is present a compelling case for why humanity should take the plunge into anarchy on behalf of objectivists fantasizing about a world they...

It's perfectly relevant. For the same reason I won't have a Steam account until Gabe Newell loses weight, I can't support this guy until he starts exercising regularly and eating more leafy greens. I can turn a blind eye to copyright infringement as long as the person doing it has an athletic...

I can't take a person with a BMI over 24 seriously. Go run some laps Kim, then tell me you're being persecuted by the highest echelons of international government. Maybe it is a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top? Who knows? All we can know for sure is that guy is pretty fat.

Funny. In NC we always had to drive to SC to buy actual, blow your hands off, fireworks.

I'm a responsible gun owner, and I support the second amendment as much as I support the other constitutional amendments. Which is to say it's not an issue worth getting worked up over or investing any time protecting from imaginary threats. Redneck yokels shooting rounds into the air on the 4th...

Hi :)

Actually they tend to bring out the nutty overzealous "yeehaw guns and explosives are awesome and if not for the gubmint you'd be free to shoot someones eye out" types.

A lot of departments officially do use that label.

I agree. I'm just wary of morphing our traditional BA and BS programs into something they weren't intended to be. I also worry some would devalue the benefits that come with those programs. Lesser, career specific programs in a traditional college setting would be great thing so long as we don't...

Elementary education is there to lay your mental foundations. Broadening your horizons is part of it, certainly, but the core goal is to educate you to a basic competency sufficient for participation in society. Once you have that foundation, higher education is the best place to explore new and...

Racism on twitter has been and is definitely a problem for major brands, celebrities, news outlets, etc. Their follower's tweets aren't invisible, and there is a guilt by association effect they would like to avoid if possible.

We're not talking about a government mandate so why bring that up? We're discussing a private company instituting a policy that only affects their business ostensibly because of market pressure or popular opinion. You have a problem with that idea. Which is ironic, considering the libertarian...

Your point is stupid. The public forum/opt-in distinction is utterly meaningless. You're the one saying just because Twitter's format operates a little differently than the rest of the web they shouldn't be able to make their own rules. That's asinine. And why? Because you don't like it? You...

Because without those classes you wouldn't be educated. You'd be trained. We round out mathematicians and engineers with liberal arts studies because they'll be dealing with people throughout their careers who aren't mathematicians and engineers. Having a broad educational background to draw...

You're inventing a distinction to argue a dumb point. If I've subscribed to your twitter feed it's not because I want to read hate speech.

It's literally no different than if you started posting NSFW images in this thread. Those posts would be deleted and you'd be banned. By having a forums account here I haven't chosen to view NSFW images just because you decided to post them. [H]ard|OCP is potentially protecting my job in that...

It does make me go "Cool! Good job government!" The rest of your post really makes me think some people will find any excuse to detract from anything when it suits their agenda.

Chill, It's Greece. Gunmen will ram a van into building over a soccer match there.

What a load of bullshit. Paying out a fair pension to teachers is due compensation for spending 30 years in a near thankless job making a peasants wages. All the while having to deal with irritating little shit stains in the classroom, their moron parents, elected administrators who couldn't...

Wrong.

I'm just making the point that it's out of the realm of possibility to model a physical system beyond certain fundamental limits. There is inherent uncertainty present in every construct of our universe. It was a long held belief in a deterministic universe that inspired Einstein to famously...

Computationally simulating the birth and life cycle of a star or even a universe is well within the realm of possibility. Determining based upon measurement the previous or future state of any matter existing in an actual universe (ours included) is impossible. Alternatively, "There is no...
