  1. What does global warming have to do with carcinogens? First Class Citizen Twice Over
  2. Ah, the only fond memories I have from high school.... {swoon} First Class Citizen Twice Over
  3. If my information is correct, no one noticed for two weeks. I think what you mean is no one panicked for two weeks. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  4. Ahh, I'd almost forgotten the pleasures of your personal attacks. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  5. You miss his point. In the war on terrorism, any injustice is justified, so long as an authority benefits. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  6. If someone wants to make an invisible bomb now, all he has to do is stick it inside a box with an LED figurine on the front. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  7. Does anyone actually read the novels lucky posts? I just scroll past and figured everyone does. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  8. Oh my god. Nobody posted in this thread between 5am and 7am? It must be a conspiracy! First Class Citizen Twice Over
  9. Place all liability on the doctor would be a better solution. If he screws up he should lose everything. How do you think this would affect the shortage of physicians? First Class Citizen Twice Over
  10. And it's not required that everyone reply to every post. In fact, it's downright annoying. Pick the good ones and FOCUS. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  11. When I see long strings of Lucky posts I just keep scrolling. Miles of unedited quoted materials followed by a smile is just misusing the medium. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  12. That's one of the effects of health insurance. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  13. There's a 4th option which is a more ambiguous situation: Doctor evaluates the request and thinks "This will not improve my patient's condition but is NOT actually a health risk" -- and writes for it. More than likely no medical harm comes from this but it costs somebody a lot of money. I've seen it happen. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  14. I think you've lost track of the meaning of the word "true". First Class Citizen Twice Over
  15. Whoops! Biden spoke casually and said something that's really easy to jump on carnivorously, extract from context, and misinterpret. So much for him! First Class Citizen Twice Over
  16. Your ability to consistently recast everyone's intended meaning as a strawman argument is astounding. I wonder if there's a market for that skill. If so, I think you've found a niche. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  17. I have to admire your tenacity. You singlemindedly struggle to maintain an adversarial consistency no matter how twisted your position is forced to become. Is this a game with rules or is it just innate instinct for you? First Class Citizen Twice Over
  18. Are you having trouble concentrating today? First Class Citizen Twice Over
  19. I enjoyed reading this paragraph more than anything else on dropzone in a month. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  20. Because he staked his self-esteem on being right. It's an unfortunate psychological effect when it's so important to be right that one becomes willing to lose ALL attachment to reality to maintain the illusion. It's like end-of-the-world cults whose prophecy dates come and go harmlessly. The cultists typically become MORE attached to the cult afterwards. Except in this case even the leader of the cult is acknowledging the initial predictions weren't quite right. This is how leaders lose control of their cults. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  21. I'd be surprised if they could do that. My primary amusement in Speakers Corner is watching the extreme Bush apologists make stuff up and attribute it to me. It goes on and on and on and on... First Class Citizen Twice Over
  22. Keep in mind the US doesn't say what the approved methods are -- it's a secret. There's actually no reason to believe the US is more humane. The citizens feel in their hearts their government is good and wholesome. It's a faith-based system. First Class Citizen Twice Over
  23. It's amazing how bullshit frauds like this just keep on kicking around, huh? First Class Citizen Twice Over
  24. You're in good company. LOTS of people are lost. First Class Citizen Twice Over
