I personally agree that the US foreign occupation policy is not currently causing any issues with people in those countries. In fact, about a year ago I got to visit with one of my state congressmen, who had taken a trip to Iraq himself. He says that many, many people came and actually thanked him for the help the US had

[quote who="Draginol" comment="6"]Don't put too much stock on exceptional intelligence. [/quote] Sure, if you consider high IQ and SAT/ACT scores the sole measure of intelligence. I say that [un]common sense is perhaps a more accurate measurement of a person's intelligence. An exceptionally sensible person sees the need to work for a living to avoid being poor. You've pretty much said yourself that even "intelligent" people can lack this sensibility.

IVF is expensive (like all things medical), and followed by the cost of having 8 kids in intensive care for... I think 3 months, she's probably given her fellow state citizens somewhere bewteen $1.5-2.5 million in hospital bills. That sounds about right. ~ $3000 per kid, per day, 90 days = $2,160,000 total. Lucky Californians!

Reply to Bushnell WeatherFX looks compelling to me in Gadgets & Electronics Stardock Forums

It reminds me of the digital thermometer we have here at home. It's supposed to update the time of day by the Atomic Clock but it's about an hour off, the sensor outside needs a new battery so it doesn't read outside temperature anymore, the display LCD faded and now it's hardly readable, etc. I guess that's what we get for not checking consumer reviews out first.

Well you shouldn't have voted for Obama, because socialism will utterly destroy our economy. It's not Bush's fault this happened, he's just the scapegoat people want to blame everything on. Really, everyone should have voted for Ron Paul, because he knew what he was talking about. Too bad everyone hates him. I suppose he's ahead of his time.

Reply to NASA Tries to Remain Relevant in Current Events Stardock Forums

I'm of the opinion that all of these space exploration probes and the search for planets that may have been habitable at one point is silly. I mean, we keep looking for just water on Mars. If we haven't found it yet, chances are there isn't enough there to support complex life, maybe a few bacteria at best, yet NASA keeps sending missions there to try and find water in rocks. We've got the ISS, the Hubble Space Telescope, and a few space shuttles with ~60 Mhz processors.&n

Reply to Wrong way Pres. Obama, turn those vehicles around please in Politics Stardock Forums

I can see wanting to reduce the production of certain pollutants, such as the aforementioned lead, but CO2 isn't an issue. CO2 in the atmosphere doesn't kill people, it actually saves lives by reducing the chances of a wildfire. California of all states should know that, and know that global warming has yet to kill anyone. More people die in cold winters than hot summers. So my opinion is that if they're after lower CO2 emissions, forget it. Go for other th

Reply to Morality-Where Do We Find It? in Current Events Stardock Forums

I personally believe that people get their morality from whatever it is that they serve. Everyone, even atheists, serve something - maybe not a supernatural God, but a god nonetheless. For example, in my experience most people who are atheists say that their morality comes from society. What is right and wrong to them is relative based on what everyone else thinks about it. In their case, society is god. I imagine this could easily give rise to an interesting p

Reply to The Word on Creationism in Religion Stardock Forums

There is a very large difference between languages and life. Using language development as proof that there is no species border doesn't make sense. Besides, even the most complex language is far simpler than even a basic living organism. Do you remember my little speech about the mole developing a human eye? The mole doesn't have the information necessary to make that eye, or even enough genomes that a mutation could result in said eye. The mole doesn't ha

Reply to The Word on Creationism in Religion Stardock Forums

1. I gave you a reason that species borders exist, and why they cannot be crossed. 2. Evolution has to be about chance unless you believe something is guiding it. 3. You're conveniently dodging the question of where life came from. It just so happens that most creationists have to include at least one of the 3 features of "GHASP" because a majority of evolutionists think this way. I would think that makes you the one in error - or are
