It would help if your descriptions actually gave the impression that you had sny substantial knowledge of the subject, as opposed to the impression that they currently give, which is that you are getting your information from the lowest-common-denominator hysterics on conspiracy talk radio. I mean, it's completely impossible to take seriously someone who claims we can split the Earth open with nuclear bombs.

I hereby charge every Australian $5 for "just being.". They can get the money back when they actually come and visit.

Your suppositions now completely contradict your previous assumptions. If China declared war on the US, it would be completely fucktarded to believe the "invasion fleet" was destined for anywhere else. You cannot build an aircraft carrier with slaves. Exceedingly complex technology requires complex skills, which slaves do not have. Even with Chinese aircraft carriers materializing out of nowhere, the US enjoys immense air superiority over the West coast that cannot be overcome by any realistic number of carriers that could be fielded. We have missiles designed to bring down enemy carriers from over the horizon. We have a vast numerical and technological advantage in attack submarines. Your scenario is completely unrealistic in virtually every aspect.

There's a scene in an old JLA comic where something is affecting the minds of all the inmates at Arkham asylum, causing them to feel crushing remorse and regret as Batman watches. Later, Wonder Woman asks if he learned anything from them (about what was happening). Batman responds "Yes. I can still feel joy." That's about it for me. Happiness? Eh... Satisfaction, maybe.

As for vaccines causing sterility, I think someone's read the SF novel "Saturn's Race" and thought it was a real thing. The Taliban also believes that conspiracy theory, hampering attempts to eradicate polio in Stupidland.

You can say chemtrails are billshit because they are. Pure idiocy on par with believing in young-earth creationism. But then, so is being anti-vaccine. The ONE study that purported to show a link turned out to have been faked, and was exposed 6 years ago.

The problem is when NK starts to believe its own hype. Three generations of brainwashing can do that to a country.

Just This.

I donate blood regularly. Next time is actually this Saturday. They've asked me to give plasma this time (usually I do what they call "double reds," where they take twice the amount of blood out of you but pump the plasma back in - I guess this time it's the opposite.) I'm also registered as an organ donor.

The Baker's union's stated goal was to shut Hostess down. They WANTED this, in the hopes that some other company will buy Hostess and give them their jobs back, in the Glorious Worker's Paradise. Of course, that might happen, or the company that buys them may just decide that it would be easier to outsource those jobs somewhere like Mexico (Bimbo is Mexican), where it would cost them less. Which would be hilarious. "Yay, instead of 8% less of something, we have 100% of NOTHING!" On TVTropes, this falls under "Nice Job Breaking It, Hero."

If you're going to fight someone, WIN. Everything else is secondary.

Showtunes.

Out with family/ friends. Suddenly, ominous music. Borg invasion. Mass carnage. Entire buildings pulverized. Strangers dying by the hundreds. Then, my arms are also miniguns. I can haz unlimited ammo! I can haz shields! I are hoomin deth macheen! Die, Borg, die! BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Best friend picks something up off ground. Is personal photon gun! She blow up whole cubes with one shot, tells Borg "Cry some moar! Hahahhahaha!" in voice of Heavy. Think I do too much internets.

Try Pastafarianism. Or any of a number of Trickster gods. My favorite, I may have mentioned, is Coyote.

I'm just going to leave this here. US predicted to become net EXPORTER of oil. http://money.msn.com/business-news/article.aspx?feed=OBR&date=20121112&id=15782571

Mars would have to have MUCH more pressure to be breathable. We could create such an atmosphere, but it would have to be continually replenished at a low rate because Mars has no magnetic field, so any atmosphere would slowly be tripped away by the solar wind.

Erectin' a Sentry, an' Reportin' a Spambot Swarm. This thing ain't on autopilot!

Wikileaks is Scientology for Anonymous. Or, it was. Now, apparently, there's been a schism because wikileaks wants PAID. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2012/10/wikileaks-implements-paywall-anonymous-does-not-approve/57839/ I laugh.

Turns out the diamonds are industrial-type, not gemstones. No good for jewelry, so nobody may even bother trying to dig them up.

I quit drinking in 1997 after I, for the first time ever, got in a car and drove drunk. Now, I only drove about 200 yards before going "crap, I can't drive like this," pulling over and waiting two hours until I was sure the buzz was gone. But still, I took that incident (plus my increased tolerance, increased desire to drink, and the fact that I have 2 alcoholics in my family) as a clear sign that it was time to stop. Except for a single glass at my brother's wedding, I haven't had any since.

Don't worty, I'm sure you'll find out, since you are currently on the internet pretending to be superior.

How many of those are naturally in tobacco, and how many were added once the companies got ahold of it? Incidentally, somewhere there's a list of the 400 chemicals in marijuana, including hydrogen CYANIDE, but I was supposed to be asleep 2 hours ago, so find it yourself.

That would be a huge waste, when we can reprocess it.

If they legalize it, I expect that the first thing that would happen is the Tobacco companies use their pet Congresscritters to wrangle themselves cartel-like control of the industry, with regulations and low prices to squeeze out the independent manufacturers. (Just like there isn't much in the way of small cigarette makers nowadays) Then they'll start adding stuff to the pot. You know, for "quality control" (read: "increased addictiveness and more carcinogens), eventually doing for one smokable weed what they did for the other. THEN taxes on it go up, and we have a new crop of psychologically addicted consumers. Conform. Consume. OBEY.

In brief, I follow these two rules: 1. I will never, ever, under ANY circumstances, hit a lady. 2. A woman who would hit me, is clearly NO LADY. Now, of course, I believe in proprtional response. The one woman who has hit me in my life, got a slap to the face. Just enough to bring to her attention that was she was making a poor life choice at the moment. (In exactly the same way that you should swat a 2-year-old's bottom if he's about to touch the stove, because what you're doing is both getting their attention and preventing much greater pain.)
