The bombs dropped on Japan were ground bursts. EMP can be a serious threat only with a high-altitude burst. It occurs because the alpha and beta particles released by the explosion energize the ions in the stratosphere. If the burst is too low, the particle concentration is insufficient to give the stratosphere enough…

Abortion in the 232nd trimester?

Japan has the world’s strictest gun control laws. It also has he world’s highest rate of murder using edged weapons. By your “logic,” their problem is a blade control problem. Why don’t you start agitating in Japan to tighten access to pocket knives?

Lady, you’re the one who needs therapy. You obviously can’t step outside without thinking that everyone else on the street is just waiting for a chance to ambush you. Deal with your spinelessness in a way that doesn’t interfere with the lawful pursuits of law-abiding citizens.

It takes a particularly fanatic mind, a mind steeped in dogma, unwilling to engage in debate in an honest manner, to not give a damn about truth and accuracy when you talk about something important. And every time gun laws come up in an argument, the anti-gun side proves again and again and again that they hate and…

Trying to tighten access to automatic weapons is utterly useless bullshit. Of all the big-news shootings that you worry over, NOT ONE was done with an automatic weapon. I am God damn sick and tired of you anti-gun goons yelling for laws to “control” something that you literally can’t even bother yourselves to define…

What’s this “should be” shit, you moron? There are already way too many people who aren’t getting enough to eat, or who are forced to eat cheap crap that is unhealthy, because they can’t afford better. You have any idea how much it costs to feed a family these days? Take your “we should pay more for food” stupidity,…

Transmigration of souls. Today, 90% of the living things on Earth are “human”. In ancient times, 90% of them were animals. When a creature dies, its soul has to go somewhere. Today, there’s not enough animal bodies for all of them. Lots of the creatures walking around that look human actually house souls that were…

The Republican party’s anti-intelligence stance has been going on way longer than 10 years. When they ran Shrub they surrendered control of the party to the demographic that hates and fears anyone who knows words of more than two syllables.

Jesus Lord. The judge is a woman, who would normally be expected to be sympathetic to a female abuse victim. And her method of handling a female abuse victim is to declare the beating will continue until morale improves. Does she have children? That’s a scary thought.

I’m surprised at the lack of reaction I’ve seen on this board and others. Usually when there’s a big-news shooting, there’s a freaking tidal wave of posts from people screaming about how we have to overturn the 2nd Amendment and confiscate all guns in the country. Compared to how they usually are, the anti-gun crowd…

Both of you should use your heads. They’re perfect for breaking up old buildings, since there’s nothing in them but concrete. You could hire out as “human” jack hammers. Do you really think this is really a left-wing/right-wing thing? You’re both knuckle dragging morons.

Did you have to go to a special school to become a worthless shithead? Is it fun being such a stupid piece of garbage?

Obama is damned if he does and damned if he don’t. If he says nothing angry about the situation, pinheads like you throw crap at him for being weak. But he knows damn good and well - and assholes like Joe Walsh prove it - that if he said one word in real anger about the situation, millions of racists and shitheads…

Any engineer can tell you that positive feedback will cause any system to oscillate out of control until it self-destructs. Well, it works with people too. These idiots get on the net and they keep feeding their lies and delusions back to each other until what few brains they had leak out their ears.

You always have to consider the source whenever there’s a horseshit “controversy” like this idiocy. The world is full of pinheads who welcome any excuse for spouting shit about someone else. There are millions of phony assholes who will foam at the mouth about someone supposedly violating laws against mistreating a…

This would not have happened if the woman had shot him earlier. Unfortunately, I can understand why there are so many horror stories of insane guys being abusive and killing a woman when he can no longer have his will with her. What I can’t understand is don’t women in an abusive relationship decide to quit taking his…

If either one get elected, anyone who is worth less than $100 million will get f**cked. Both Drump and Hellary are selfish dogs who don’t give a flaming s**t about anyone who isn’t rich enough to put big contributions in their campaign chests. The same is true for all politicians or rich people. Vote for any of them…

She’s a corporate whore who has promised Goldman Sachs that if she’s elected they can rewrite the Constitution to please them. That’s why she refuses to release transcripts of those speeches she gave them in secret.

I think the effecton this country of either Trump or the meteor would be about the same.
