My wife and I went to of these shows once, kind of on a lark. I was genuinely impressed with the process. But mostly I was impressed with how gently the appraisers dealt with telling you your piece of crap was worthless, without taking up a lot of time. For various reasons, I had to spend a couple of hours watching…

Sure it does. We have decided not to kill humans, but everything else, as per God, is fair game. And lets be honest, God isn't really too concerned with the killing of humans either. But if you feel that a clump of cells is human and has a soul, then you and I (and the Catholic Church among others) will simply have…

so the worms are looking for fresh water?

well, God sure doesn't seem to care for them, given that he aborts most pregnancies well before the woman knows she might want to head on over to the clinic.

Here's all the evidence we need. Just try and deny global worming now!

Or maybe a machete gun?

When I was a kid, our Presbyterian minister mused that maybe each inhabited planet had a god, and maybe they all got together on the weekend to play pool and bullshit each other. I always thought that sounded pretty cool. So that's what I'm going with.

"Grey Meat" is the best Whiteskin slur I've heard.

That hasn't been my professional experience. The military is all kinds of interested in this area. That's one reason they have such a cadre of researchers. And have had for many years.

We don't need new studies if we aren't interested in risk mitigation. But the military is very interested in that. That is in fact what their research staff are there for. And they are involved, and likely leading much of these studies. However, the military isn't scared of science and is quite good at…

I used to work some efforts supported by Titley. He always seemed pretty hard nosed about wanting practical operational information. Everyone I dealt with in the military didn't really care what the underlying causes were. They just wanted to know how to plan for them.

The military is "an expert ion atmospheric physics". They need to be, as it dramatically impacts their bases and weapons systems. That's why they have for example, the NRL down at Stennis, NPS in Monterey , and AFIT in a number of locations, but mostly at Wright-Pat. They have some of the best climate scientists in…

This Sterling-Silver thing is pure entertainment gold.

He didn't say "eye to eye". He said "do what I want". For example slaves were forced to do the latter. Do you really think they saw eye to eye with their owners?

How do you know they ran the entire race? Everyone that is chipped can prove they earned the medal.

Did they? Or only part of the race?

I'm confused about the priorities here. If we are getting laid ALL season, aren't we the real winners?

Except the part where the EU GDP is larger than ours, and we've slipped to something like #14 per capita. Maybe a strong (ie lazy) middle class isn't such a bad thing if your goal is to grow your economy.

Honey Maid graham crackers baked with praline pecan caramel on top is good enough to transcend all that hate. Those moms have clearly either never had them before or are no longer human.
