Excellent choice. Few recognize it as science fiction. Few who criticize it have actually read it. Most just share ideological quotes about it from their comfort bubbles. If you like Firefly and say you dislike this book, you are beyond disingenuous, you are completely full of it. It teaches that the only equality we…

You do not "participate in geek culture." One either is, or is not a geek. I suspect the author was giving off a particular vibe, the one that says, "I'm actually here to mock and judge you." You can spot such people when they make eye contact looking for your reaction, and when your reaction is to sense that…

Why not try economic INCENTIVES to not pollute. The only thing that will happen with "disincentives" is that the cost will be passed on to you and me, one way or another. Hence is just a round about way of taxing people.

Scientists in this section have made comments that it is not possible to project global climate accurately enough to justify the ranges projected for temperature and sea-level rise over the next century. They may not conclude specifically that the current IPCC projections are either too high or too low, but that the…

Exactly. I'm sure you got as much as a typical alarmist skull can handle.

What about Vietnam?

Yeah, that show ruined many minds.

To be honest I get so disgusted with these stupid things. I have a phrase. "Data lies. Incomplete data lies completely." I've done nothing this morning but read about the situation between Russia and the Ukraine. No, it wasn't in a book, it was on the Internet. Sites like stratfor.com, nytimes.com, foreignpolicy.com…

This is a really a chart of who has the least busiest people. I'm concerned with the fact that we aren't the bottom. Some of you are slacking off and reading. Get back to work.

I experienced the racism as well. People often talk about how "racist" America is. As a black person I'm proud to say that at least in my country, America, people know that "the-n-word" is considered vulgar and hateful. Other places, not so much.

Laughed so hard I cried when I first heard this as a kid.

Noah is the foundation upon which my faith is built. Because of the story of Noah and the flood I am sure I can convince anyone of just about anything if I try hard enough.

You are absolutely correct about Arrow being Gossip Girl with vigilantism. That's they way the CW does the genre though. It's annoying I know. You're stuck with 10 years of CLANA before Clark finally puts the suit on and that moment lasts for 10 seconds. The thing is, the CW has found a way to create ratings. Women…

Here's the thing. Dr. Spencer knows more about climate than the author of this article or any of the rest of us. I can also provide you with a large list of climate scientists who don't "deny" climate change (as the 'noble lie' attempts to assert), but question the assertion that anthropogenic climate change is the…

Not likely. I don't recall a jumping through the hole event. If there is, I'm going to try signing up my dog!

In keeping with your racist theme, if you breed like bunnies, you're bound to have a few special people out of billions. Not only that but no one excels better at theft of intellectual property estimated to be worth about 300 billion a year.

Won't make it half a season. It's like a TV show about the Milky Way without Earth. Not only is the most interesting part missing, there's no one to watch it.

Back in its day it was more than anyone dared hope for. Today it is puerile compared to Man Of Steel. Superman has finally grown up. Get used to it.

Galactus is a cosmic cross dresser, the ultimate illegal alien. All he wants from earth is citizenship and a job and if he doesn't get it, he'll eat the planet.

It would never work. She's a princess from a mythical island full of women and he's a rich kid with issues.
