I like this one: Just a note. Naming your kid “Trig” but nicknaming him “Trigger” is kind of like naming your kid “Bob” and giving him the nickname of “Robert.” :-D

Drugs war goes on in most of the rest of the world, and gun violence is still at the levels it is. Reason if due to different culture, but also gun policies. Does not mean drug guys do not kill...

China has everything to play for. With skill and a blast of freedom, it can take its rightful place at the forefront of world affairs. But nothing is foreordained. Depends on them whether they can...

Fair is fair, it is US citizens that elect their politicians and not the Chinese, so why would Chinese have to suffer first if US defaults, it should be the people who are the culprits in the whole...

The truth is that if you can buy marijuana in the same way as tobacco - that will have no ill effects, but for higher level drugs you may need legal prescription, and perhaps even "place of use",...

I also support legalization of drugs, any kind... just different level of requirement for legal access. Similar case should be with guns (different level of requirement for legal access). Even if...

That is an interesting take, even though the balance is moving, perhaps slowly for a "human lifetime" timeframe, but it is moving pretty rapidly from evolutionary point of view. In principle this...

First point - are you doing anything about it? Want to spend others people's money? So my point of putting money in my life where I think it's right you come back with "Gestures are pointless" ......

In my opinion not at all. For example, let's just take 1tn that US spent in Iraq during last 10 years (and add another three for the duration of other effects), you can easily switch to nuclear...

Interestingly enough, I have cheap light bulbs, am driving a Prius (paying less for petrol to Saudis and spending on other stuff), and eventually it is in my plan to be "solar powered" ie for the...

I actually support Scottish independence . I think it is the best idea for Scotland in centuries, for some reason majority English do not want that, but it should not be their call. They anyhow...

The issue with this particular point in "self correction" is that after a certain point there is no self-correction (or in a timescales that humans care about).  Check out Newfoundland cod, as a...

Doing something about the environment is not the same as living in 1800's... On one hand the ignornat population is just fine with 4tn wars, numberous trillions worth of effects of banking...

You appear not to be too old - I am sure you will enjoy the benefits when full costs comes down to you, a lot of it irreversible in thousands of years, you many be lucky enough to see it too. It is...

I always thoght UK was a better fit for 51st state, UK gets guns and Americans get the Queen :D .

Space Station cost = 150bn, and you get a space laboratory enabling us to learn how to explore space. Iraq war cost = 4tn, unstable country, hundreds of thousands dead, etc... yes, we need to...

Ideally, yes... but cool heads in a human slaughterhouse... I cannot see a good outcome here. The only stablilty left is really Iran?!? Saudi Arabia (even worse, and really if people had their way...

Good method to kill their own business.

:-) That is an interesting conjecture, but I think you will find that overall, if there is a sample taken it will be the same as market share, ie liberals/conservatives will use the same proportion...

Yes, I think I can speed this up for you. Please move to Somalia and survie, I am sure you are fit. You will be very free and happy. If that is not free enough for you, Congo I hear is truly...
