Two beers, especially two of the relatively high-alcohol "micro-brew" style beers popular these days would pretty well flatten me, cause dizziness and cause me to pass out within an hour or so. I'm...

But this is all handwaving and expense. Where is this power coming from? How can it possibly be cheaper than PG&E? Is that a guarantee? Will it stay cheaper? Who are the Board members of this new...

First, a quibble. You said "one state is pushing hard to legalize industrial hemp ..." There's a little more interest than that:

Toxic, do you even read this stuff you post? A quick search of the UCS site shows NO documents on fluoride and the sheet you linked to had this as the most salient piece of information: "• Nearly...

Even that lovely video doesn't capture how amazingly good he is live.

If you ever get the chance to see him, go for it.

Leonard Cohen rocks.

So, where do you get the tasty Irish babies?

Oh damn. I hate it when that happens.

Obviously I'm not caught up on my Wacco reading.

In the immortal word of Rick Perry: "oops."

Wow podfish, you have swallowed some of the biggest lies of the corporate controlled right wing and can spew them forth word for word as though the mighty Rush Limbaugh himself was posting here.

Eh, I don't think you've proven yourself a troll, however, your presumption that anyone on this forum is "educated" by Murdock is ... pretty ignorant. I don't and have never watched, listened to or...

Only someone who hasn't seen the news in the last ... dozen years would think that. Or ever seen any news.

We are about the farthest thing from a Marxist country.

No Miles, what I'm saying isn't all hogwash and BS. I've been following the antics of this crowd since the '99 Seattle protest. I was watching a text feed live when the Black Block came out the back...

The whole anarchist / Black Block is put in place by the police (or possibly the feds) to split the loyalties and cause infighting among the Occupy movement just like you're seeing on this thread....

Is this thread really from 2007? My how time flies.

I'm certain there is a statute of limitations, but if this is a current issue (and it sounds like it is) of course you have the right to file in...

Except that Roe v. Wade isn't a law. So, no problem.

Thanks for your time.

I should have added, "... Holy Writ, no matter how absurd, no matter how lacking of fact, no matter how divorced from history, no matter how divergent from reality."

I'm so done with this thread.

You can't teach a true believer. Facts are not important to a person who is sold on Holy Writ.

Bye,

Jobs are created by money moving through the economy. When corporations and the extremely wealthy hoard their money, as they have over the last 10 years, there are job losses, as we have seen. I'm...

You have a laughable grasp of history.

Please do the math for us and determine how much each job the "job creators" are charging We the People to create. "We'd" like to know.

-Jeff

Here I go, quoting myself; but really, it's a good idea. We should separate any jobs "created" by the "stimulus" spending as well.

So people, how about we create a meme? Let's audit the Bush tax...

How about we go back to the W. Bush tax cuts and figure out how much each job has cost the US taxpayer?

Of course, layoffs and firings due to plant closings and outsourcing should be subtracted...

The gold being mined now is used to replenish the supply that is constantly being used up. Putting more money into that supply and demand chain gives the mine owners more money to get at increasingly...

Yes, Americans are using credit cards to buy gas ... and paying them off each month in record numbers. Personal debt is going down, not up. That's one of the economic problems right now is that...

That article makes a powerful statement. Thanks for posting it Patrick.

Glia, nearly every sentence of that post is without merit. Rather than shoot holes in every point I'll suggest you find yourself a better expert. Here's what Science Based Medicine (a website with a...

Really? I've looked over this thread and I haven't seen that. I see nothing to apologize for. Please point it out for me if I've missed something.



I've probably read far more medical research...

Perhaps the Republicans will bring up this theory as a possible solution to global warming though they didn't believe it 30 years ago.


The graphic did come up for me.

You know I'm with ya Dixon; he who dropped the ball!

I'll bet nobody was grateful for the lesson. Oh well. Good thing you waited until the guy was healed. Probably the cosmic process required you...

This notion expresses a naiveté about the real world. We live in a time of multi-national corporations that dwarf some countries in their power and wealth. We need global regulation more than we need...

I can help Dixon.

You can try some of my homemade coffee liqueur over vanilla ice cream.

That will be a good start.

Chin up. There's hope for you.

I get it that you don't understand what rights and freedom are all about. I don't think I'll convince you. But riddle me this: what if businesses are allowed to be segregated? Where does it stop?...

More science, if you can stand it, below. This article discusses the very real consequences suffered by adolescents who come down with the illness. This isn't about the 300 who die, it's about the...

I never said my reasoning was off. I did misread a sentence. My points stand. It was a poorly written and unsupported article.

I do respect your opinion and I like reading Laurel's posts as well, so I'll try to respect your request here. I do get tired of responding to baseless allegations about vaccine safety but I suppose...

My Canon inkjet has no problem in this department. It reports a specific cartridge is low or empty and then prints the document, usually with no obvious degradation in print quality.

Roe v. Wade isn't about making abortion safe and legal in California. It's...

The fact that neither Ron Paul nor his misguided offspring would have voted for equal rights for black people is enough reason to shun them. The additional fact that Ron would make it a crime to have...

Wait a minute! I just caught a little mathematical sleight-of-hand. So 300 deaths out of 300 million people is one in a million, right? How about 300 out of ... how many under one-year-old people?...
