Solitair: There's nothing scientific in my observations. I'm just stating what I've seen. I hang out mostly on sites that are mostly Americans but those who seem to have the biggest problem with the combination of the 3 issues of the origianl article are overwhelmingly European. It could be coincidence but it does seem odd.

Um Nhavar, regardless of the details, the basis of my argument is valid. If you sterilize the men, you won't have nearly the same effect on population growth as if you sterilized the women. 1 woman is only capable of reproducing every 9 months. 1 man can reproduce with any number of women (within stamina heh) in same said 9 months.

Jill: I used my power to delete responses to delete that weird anti-Bush article. Strykar: I was being facetious about being shocked. Also, I was not referring to this blog as being a source of detractors. Andrew: I am not referring to Usenet debates on free markets.
I'd help ya but I'm too busy blogging...
You're walking down a slippery slope. Ultimately, all human emotions are merely chemical reactions in the brain. It's futile to try to argue about definitions of what are essentially brain chemistry classifications. If there ever was a case of arguing semantics, arguing whether "romantic love" exists is it.
kth: Exactly. The issue of depleted uranium has been looked into. Did some of our soldiers coming home get sick? Absolutely. And what does that have to do depleted uranium? If Michael Moore is linking to an article, one can assume he believes it to be true. He is saying it is true in effect. It's not just untrue but it's a blatant lie. Let's pretend, however, that depleted uranium was toxic. For the sake of argument. Do you know what the source of de
I don't think you thought your logic through. If you want to control population through forced sterilization then I'm afraid the blatantly obvious way to do it effectively would be to sterelize females. If you have a population of 100 men and 100 females and you require 90% of the males to be sterilized how many children could be made in 1 year? Answer: 100. Because 10 males can impregnate 100 females. If you sterilize 90 females and all the males are kept normal, how
And Luvscure, as I keep responding, a highschool diploma ALONE is not enough. It takes TWO things: high school diploma and no children until age 25. And, btw, who are these people who have BA's and are still "poor". How do you define "Poor"? The options aren't welfare or stavation. There are other options such as providing food to the poor intead of money. Vasectomies for men? Maybe on planet crazy that might make sense but here on Earth that makes no sense at all.
As shocking as this may be to hear, I have detractors. No really, there are actually people out there that don't like me. Actually, there are people out there that hate me. The reasons are many fold and this article will only talk about a particular group since it would take a lot of time to cover all the different types of people who find me reprehensible. The type of detractor I'm talking about for the purposes of this article are the people who dislike me and my emp
Did it just happen one day? That the editors of InfoWorld and PC Week (before it became eWeek), got together and decided that instead of having interesting magazines that they would instead focus on covering only the dullest stuff out there? Was it their goal to transform their magazines from thick, content rich material to being largely pamphlets that resemble more of a specialty Miller Freeman type publication that only a tiny select group would find interesting or useful?

Bakerstreet - you're many things but a narcissist you are not. ;)
kthxbye: Couldn't say it better myself. Some people crave attention. To get that attention, even negative attention, they will create a crisis. The incident that inspired me to write this was a typical mole hill made into a mountain by a couple who went onto multiple message forums, emails, etc. to attack people both involved and not involved with the issue they were concerned about. It's all about the attention. Once you identify those kinds of people, it's best to simply remove them
Disagreement is a good thing in debating and such. But when people get into, as you say, baiting, thread hijacking, or just plain trying to tick people off for the sake of being mean, those people are poison.
If you spend enough time in a net community you will run into all kinds of people. If you run a net community you have to make some tough decisions very quickly about what to do with some of these kinds of people. Some people, let's face it, are just bad apples. If you met them in person they might be perfectly reasonable, even normal people. But on-line something happens to them. They become aggressive, totally devoid of empathy, manipulative, emotionally needy to the point of de

I can honestly say that there is a heck of a lot of backstory on the Altarians. While I was in college, I wrote the manuscripts for 3 books (a trilogy) that dealt strictly with how come the Altarians are they way they are. The only issue is when I made the post about interest in the expansion pack, we had only had SIX pre-orders. The main problem, budget-wise, is that one feature: 2 new races, is about half the total budget and so if there's not huge interest, I'd rather just
I just finished Politicians, Partisans, and Parasites: My Adventures in Cable News by Tucker Carlson. It's a book that is...well Tucker Carlson's adventures in Cable News. Which isn't necessarily a good thing or what exactly I was hoping the book would be about. But let me start from the beginning... I first encountered Tucker Carlson o
I know what you mean. One day you're hanging out with your friends after class and the4n suddenly you're telling your 6 year old "I'll give you somethign to cry about!"
I think the problem is that most poor people are...well dumb. Statistically anyway. And part of the being dumb part means being unusually UNresourceful. That means not figuring out that you can get shoes for free for your kids. Not knowing that you can get clothes for your kids basically for free. Not thinking of simply moving 20 miles away to the subs since she's obviously not tied down to a "job".
Luvscure1 wrote an article that was very articulate even though I totally disagreed with it (which is why I featured it -- I wonder if Luvscure1 has anything to do with my favorite musical group, "The Cure" but that's a different subject). Amount of sympathy I have for people on welfare: 0. There are only two things you have to do in life to stay off of welfare statistically: Finish high
Woha WAY WAY faster. If I knew you wouldn't beat me up, I'd threaten you with a wedgie! ;)
"Was she supposed to get an abortion"? I'm not proposing anything but the obvious - having children when you can't afford them isn't society's fault. Welfare is essentially coerced charity out of the rest of society. Most people, thankfully, have enough sense not to have TWO children. I didn't say that high school was all you needed. Note I said TWO things: 1) Highschool education AND 2) Don't have children until you're 25. Both of those things. She chose to have 2 children.
