Sarah Palin attended a motorcycle rally and took a deep breath. "I love that smell of the emissions," she exulted. That's more the smell of random toxic shit and unburnt fuel, and the dreaded cancer-inducing particulates. CO2 hasn't a detectable smell. petrol sniffing? i guess that would ...

But aren't there socially constructive uses for binding oaths? How about having politicians (or noblemen/monarchs, not to picky here) swear to represent the interests of their people to the best of their abilities ... yes, not to be picky, but i think your understanding of monarchy is gravely disto...

"This is a failure of education, the first purpose of which is to 'propagate morality'," said one comment on Hong Kong's Phoenix TV website, "This teenager's stupid behaviour is a manifestation of his radically materialistic values." If anything, giving away the kidney that chea...

What they didn't say was that NO german NPP has a core catcher. The SNR-300 does, possibly the safest nuclear power plant ever ;), mainly due to the fact that it never went online and is now a theme park. strange how upon the list of nuclear power plants successfully blocked by protestors in europe...

Asse was before that law. I am not saying the regulators are blameless (far from it and there is plenty of corruption to go around), but really, it is a bit disingenious to take a law you say was passed under the greens and apply it to a situation from the previous government, no? sorry, must have ...

- dumping nuclear waste in leaky containers and then stopping caring about them - have you seen the pictures from Asse? (3) Die Länder haben Landessammelstellen für die Zwischenlagerung der in ihrem Gebiet angefallenen radioaktiven Abfälle, der Bund hat Anlagen zur Sicherstellung und zur Endlagerun...

um, pretty sure 'feeder' plants are currently illegal due to their products being easy(ier) to weaponise. I must confess I am not familiar with the term "feeder plant" in this context, neither do I find any literature on it. My concern is that the vast majority of the nuclear plants curre...

How about I build a couple dozen CANDU-6 reactors and run them on a thorium-uranium fuel cycle with full reprocessing? It'll be a hell of a lot cheaper and still give you as much power as you want for tens of thousands of years. Plus unlike solar, we have the technology to do it right fucking now. ...

how about static linking?

is the program precompiled or do you have access to the source with the Makefile?

no flankers?

If we are going to play the free speech card, on the flip side, the vandals were perfectly justifiable to vandalizing the art, since after all, it is their free will and speech to make a response to something they find offensive. Certainly, they could have gone another way to express their free spe...

Some things, such as life and personal freedom, tend to be held as morally desirable in and of themselves across the majority of modern moral codes. Do you hold any similar things to be axiomatically good? If so, would not the collection of such things be a moral code itself? In order to there not ...

Some of the highlights from the campaign: Modern art and other "corrupt" art should not get any funding from the government at all, only "acceptable" art (such as national romanticist style and other classical styles) should. No bailouts of EU countries under any circumstances N...

Let me put this in simple words: morals are subjective, law is objective. Laws are created by the state by virtue of its authority as sovereign to enforce a common peace. Laws can be changed, due to differing circumstances or ideas about how to protect the social order or even because of moral conc...

yes, if only there were a way around the costs to this fair trial thing.
i know, maybe you could outsource the death penalty to china. =p

It's sad that society is so ignorant and stupid that flawless, humane methods of execution that would preserve the body perfectly have existed for quite some time go largely unnoticed. the death penalty simply isn't humane in the first place, that's why humane methods of execution are uncalled for....

Also, this is the long distant past and not the future.

Burning a Koran is well known to incite Muslims. Just as well as homosexuality is known to incite homophobes. Society must not in the slightest bit concede going bat-shit crazy over getting your religious feelings hurt. If you are illicitly inciting a riot you are usually at least trying to stir up...

SRGs might be a better idea. You would probably still need to separate DU first.

So in your opinion, "the purpose of this tax would be to equalize birthrights obviously." What is the moral, ethical, or cultural justification for this? Why is it necessary to "equalize birthrights obviously?" That's not an answer, you know. No, it's a legitimate question. You'...

Sorry but you just failed the turing test.

What, in your opinion, is the purpose of taxation? What, in your opinion, is the purpose of seizing all property and assets in excess of 80000€ upon a person's death? What do you mean? The purpose of this tax would be to equalize birthrights obviously. Also I am in favor of taking away peoples hard...
