oh NOES!

That's actually what that clapping noise in the theme song was! Hard slaps, delivered quickly!

Hey man, thanks for taking a pause from ironing the brim of your fedora to reply to my comment. With that kind of elaborate devotion to conversation and wit, it's no WONDER you're out of the greys.

Whimsical twenty-somethings need to be whimsically slapped. Hard.

Considering his awful, degrading treatment of women, I think perhaps - we must.

That link doesn't really mean anything in this case. It's a specific response to a single map compiled off a small survey. That doesn't imply anything about the well-known and well-documented xenophobia of Japan.

Aaah, yes one of the most ethnically tolerant nations there is! ANYWHERE!

True. As a Canadian, I am amused at the idea that "Northern Europe" only dipped below 13 celcius for long periods during "the coldest winters".

I think pauling was a MEGA-doser, wasn't he? Like he would take hundreds of grams of vitamins a day as if the body would use all of it in some super-process.

Do they enjoy crystals, and have really stupid theories about the economy. I always knew literature professor to have terrible economic opinions. Economics professors have truly stupid opinions about literature, but that doesn't really translate into embarrassing real-world conversations.

Margulis herself was quite a scientist, with quite a mind. And later in life she fell prey to the delusion of false beliefs.

The decision to use Atomic weapons against highly populated cities should rank at least as high as the firebombing of Dresden. Or if you regard Hiroshima as necessary for shock value, then at least Nagasaki should be regarded as a punitive bombing. And allied command had an infrastructure in place to systematically…

That's idiotic and this conversation is over. I'm not even going to debate this further, as it's worse than a waste of my time.

The ice cream cone, especially the waffle cone. George Bang, owner of the Bannery Creamery allegedly ran out of bowls for his ice cream at the fair, and started using rolled up waffle shaped Italian cookies called pizzelles.

That article you linked to is a just excerpts from a historically awful economist. Rothbard? Seriously? First of all, that book is more than 60 years out of date. And whether its Rothbard's poorly-regarded work, or just him being archaic, much of what he says regarding the economy is silly. "The only viable definition…

This isn't really meant as criticism, but just as a factual statement: you genuinely don't have any idea what the relationship is between a regulator and a company. I mean, not even the basic relationship. Neither do you have an idea of the structure of government vs. capitalism which in the telecom / digital world…
