Re: Creationists teach schoolkids man and Dinosaurs walked t Why does any civilized country have religious instruction classes?

Well if you're teleporting information then you're by definition teleporting energy. Seems to me it's just a matter of degrees.

Oh god someone gag her. That voice makes my ears bleed. Oh and the fact she's clearly stupid.

I wonder if you can use entanglement to remove heat. A quantum heatsink, throw one end into interstellar space and you've got an eternal cooler. Well, within limits of the far end's ability to radiate. That would of course open the door to far more terrifying uses.

How is that an argument for hate crime laws? I mean, do they work until someone has an excuse then not work? That doesn't seem effective to me. Here's laws to protect you, but since they don't do anything, just keep your head down and you'll be fine.. sorta. I mean, clearly they didn't prevent...

Wait, what? When did I say there was no value in prison sentences? Why do people continually tell me things I've supposedly said when I very clearly haven't? To get back to the actual topic of hate crimes, and away from things I supposedly said/believe despite what I've actually said/believe...

Huh, well seeing as I have as yet not outlined my positions in their entirety I offer you two suggestions in their recommended order: 1) Contact James Randi about those fantastic mind reading abilities of yours. You'll be a million dollars richer and we'll have an interesting new field of...

What's the difference again? Either way someone is dead, someone, who, through no fault or action of their own is no longer alive, due to the direct actions of someone else. Why should that someone else get differing punishments based upon whether or not he had some irrational hatred? The only...

I think one of us is either confused or using a straw man argument. Point of fact given what I've said so far only those who kill in self defense get a free pass, and the bigots go to jail as normal. So I think either you're confused, or deliberately trolling.

Sugar is bad. Sugar rots your teeth. Sugar makes you hyper. Hitler ate sugar.

Yeah, one is self defense, the other isn't. If you're killed committing a crime, too bad.

I don't think motivation should be important. When you start that you're outlawing thoughts. I mean, if you're dead, you're fucking dead. It doesn't really matter if they plotted it for months or just shot you. The outcome is the same, so why the distinction? I really don't get it. As for hate...

The constitution is only as useful as the judges who've actually read the damn thing. Unfortunately many either haven't, or like with religious books either claim it says something it doesn't or doesn't say something it does.

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-fcc-indecency-20100714,0,5995911.story The FCC's ability to censor TV seems to be on something of a decline. Yay!

There's a lot of campaign promises Obama ignored. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-june-15-2010/respect-my-authoritah As for the main topic, yes Obama is conservative, not that you'd ever get the Republicans to admit that. It's very frustrating to me, I didn't vote for W to have a third...

Clearly just an illusion.

Wonderful news. Though I was always of the impression that instantaneous data transmission via quantum entanglement was a theoretical no-no.

Re: Australia - internet filtering system on hold for 12 mon Australia, another year as a first world country before the great leap backward, off a cliff.

Re: Who do you Fear More: Corporations vs Terrorists Statistically you're more likely to die due to negligence on the part of some conglomerate than to a terrorist. Terrorists don't subvert the democratic process in this country, terrorists haven't destroyed our environment in the name of the...

When they say, "Limit government power" they really mean "limit government power if we're not in charge". Just to clear up any confusion.
