For no reason what so ever, I’m just going to leave this right here.

Simple question. My dad punched a white guy once. Am I responsible for his actions? What about what my granddad did? Am I PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE for another persons actions? Yes, or no?

If each state could be trusted to uphold the same basic set of environmental ideals, then sure. They could probably do the job cheaper and more effectively then a federal agency (whether or not every state could afford it is another matter). The problem is, that they can’t be trusted to do that. Environmental…

It is the end all be all for a product that has low production costs and high initial investment. It’s why a movie ticket or dvd for Bridesmaids cost the same as one for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, even though the latter cost 10 times more to make. The profit is made through the number of sales, not…

Yes, but as has been pointed out, all those extra costs were upfront, not on going. Producing the actual discs and packaging is quite cheap, meaning the more units you sell, the greater your profit margin for each unit is. The mistake Paramount made was that they wanted to recoup their investment upfront with a…

A better answer for IMDB would be to put out a call for volunteer moderators, and put in place easy to follow (and highly visible) community rules. There’s value on the IMDB boards that isn’t readily found elsewhere. They just need to prune the garbage. There are plenty of healthy communities that do so. No reason…

Read it like this:

“That could very well be the case though.”

I don’t think it’s that people want to believe that “going green” is the only solution, it’s that they don’t want people to get the idea in their heads that the damage is already done, so there’s no point to “going green”. Obviously pursuing engineering solutions is important, since at least some damage is likely…

Eh, there’s enough cross over that I can forgive the lapse. Genomics is just the study of a set of genes that make up an organism, where as genetics is the study individual genes, more or less. Plus, it could also just be a typo.

While blindly rooting for one’s party of choice is a bipartisan issue (seriously, political parties need to be abolished. It wouldn’t solve the problem, but it would go a long way toward limiting it), Plenty of people on the left took the Obama administration to task over the NSA, the drone programs, and their…

Thank you. Exactly my first thought as well.

It’s not about what I (or you) believe, it’s about what the police can prove. If this person knew something about the plot, then they should be arrested. If they didn’t, then it was just a couple idiots hanging out, blowing shit up. The point is, that someone shouldn’t be arrested unless they’ve actually done…

If the authorities can prove that relative knew he was plotting something, then yeah. Sure. Arrest them. But recording your cousin or whatever setting off a “cool explosion” doesn’t necessarily mean you knew that cousin was also planning to try and blow people up. Hell, if you’re from the south, or anywhere rural…

I flip my keys all the time when I’m out. Though, when I do it, no one feels the need to point a camera directly at my hand and zoom in super obviously.

Where the hell did you go to school that you were still doing duck and cover drills in the 80's!? I started school in the late 80's and didn’t do them... matter of fact, my mom didn’t even do them, and she was born in the early 60's. Her oldest sister was the only one in the family who had to do them, but she…

I’m still waiting for Chinese superhero movies to start casting Americans in substantial roles. For too long have we been underrepresented in Chinese cinema!

Nitrogen glaciers and basins... don’t be stupid. It was clearly Hancock.

Maybe they should integrate a Q Collar into the costume, to prevent CTE:

And of course ignoring that his IT “degree” is worth less than an A+ cert that could be had for $200 or less lol.
