Re: Republican candidate 'body-slams' Guardian reporter in Montana
Well, there was an incident where a Democratic politician assaulted an interviewer. It happened in my home state, North Carolina. I don't remember ever hearing anything about it back then. Anyway, it takes two to tango. One instigated the altercation, the other escalated, and we have an incident. Ro...

Re: Republican candidate 'body-slams' Guardian reporter in Montana
Here in sunny Colorado, you can mail in your ballot as soon as you receive it if you want to, without ever leaving your own home, but they don't count it until election day, which I think solves everyone's objections. The idea is that the vote has already been cast before a scandal pop up. If it wa...

Re: Democrats backing away from gun control
There is a lot of money going for gun control. If someone gives me $25 million to spout some shit for them, I'd do it from my gold plated Prius all day every day.

Re: Militants who seized Federal Wildlife Refuge Acquited on all charges
The militants are all going to prison one way or another. 1. The justice system will just lead them around a circle until they bankrupt and enter a plead deal. 2. Some militants are going to implicate others with crimes so they get lighter sentences as part of a plead deal. 3. There were children at...

Re: Question about Snakes and Their Eating Habits
4) A black snake got into my dad chicken coop and ate a clutch of eggs but failed to escape through the chicken wire again. I don't know if it counted eggs as individual meals or the clutch as one meal. I'm sure the result would have been the same if it were chicks rather than eggs.

Re: Changing a diaper is now child molestation in Arizona.
I thought bad things tend to happen to people who get thrown into prison on child molestation charges. A plead deal with any length of prison sentence can potentially be a death sentence.

Re: Somalia Pirates Seize British Cargo Ship
Using the fire suppression system seems acceptable to pirates, shipping companies, sailors, and ports so far. And hiding in the engine compartment seems effective as of the recent hijacking attempts. Maybe the sailors can just lock themselves away in the engine compartment as soon as they spot the p...

Re: On orbital garbage disposal efforts
I instantly thought of Dr. Evil using such laser to threaten to punch a hole in the ozone and hold the world ransom for $1,000,000. I don't see it being an international politic problem if it a joint project like the ISS. Otherwise, everyone can just build one, if they want to, and share the cost of...

Re: RAR! Elephants, dolphins and apes become sapient
I say cut them a goodly chunk of land near the Amazon River's delta and call it Narnia^tm. A major portion of their economy can come from tourist attraction. It'll probably get boring quickly with only elephants, dolphins and apes.

Re: Presentation techniques.
The first method is the correct one, just key points that you expand on. Cramming all in there and reading from the slide is a direct sign of incompetence.

Re: Games with good stories
Planescape: Torment. I'm not even sure if I spelled it correctly. I remember playing it as a young teenager. I like the story even though the game is mostly dialogs and relatively little fighting.
