  1. Smells like treason to me.
    50
  2. What bothers me more about this - the guy is clearly not there mentally. That law enforcement took his guns, then gave them back to his father who then gave them back to the guy that's messed up.
    47
  3. Well it is nice to hear it but I find it to be too little too late. I mean this is the same church that called me Intrinsically disordered.
    13
  4. Regards DeVos - she's clueless about education. Hell, when I think what I've done regards education over my life I'm infinitely more qualified than she is. Same goes for Ajit Pai - I understand the reason why we need net equality.

  5. There's a gun in this house - a pump shotgun. No ammo - and it's in it's case in closet in the house. Just cycling the shotgun is enough to scare anyone who comes in here without permission to shit their pants. That's all it's good for.
    6
  6. What she's doing is trying to deflect attention from Drumpf!
    4
  7. And from an EEO perspective - the only discrimination you can do in a workplace is education.
    4
  8. Not to mention it's a sexual assault too. This will be an interesting case to follow. And drive through my location with the windows down or AC on fresh air intake and you smell - guess what - marijuana.

  9. The banks don't like it because they know a postal bank would be more fair in it's fee structure.
    3
  10. Regards Graham - I think this may be the tipping point for the Trump Administration - or what is left of it.
    3
  11. Go look at your power and natural gas providers. The latter in particular, they now multiply the amount of gas used by a thing called a therm factor. Which in my view is nothing but a markup. They say it's the 'value' of the gas. Yeah right.
    2
  12. One thing - total disregard of the rule of law.
    2
  13. It's more akin to rats jumping off a burning ship. And I've got qualifications that might work in this administration but I do not want to have to report to the Orange Goblin.
    2
  14. Well, when you consider most people in the U.S. want single payer too, you begin to understand the snow job perpetrated by the insurance industry in the U.S.
    2
  15. Well - if you go by Kinsey's studies - some 30% of the population is in fact bisexual.
    2
  16. Oh I left Catholicism years ago. It was when the child abuse scandals began. And you have to understand the il Papa is a Jesuit. They tend to be the more highly educated clerics in the church. So it's not surprising he's pretty liberal.
    2
  17. The Acela could do 150MPH. The main issue isn't the track, it's the at-grade crossings. Those seriously limit the speed of the train. In fact the Acela gets up to it's maximum speed in parts of MA and all of RI.
    2
  18. Yeah I know.
    2
  19. Yeah I know. Those people really puzzle me because they have this sheepish vibe too.
    2
  20. From a purely ethical view there's no method of execution that is perfect. And I find the practice highly barbaric. Plus take into account the rates of violent crimes have declined precipitously since the 1970's when tetraehtyl lead was banned in gasoline.Lead of course is a neuro-toxin.
    2
  21. Made a very conscious effort not to buy things with HFCS in them a few years ago. It's getting difficult to get some things. That stuff is in EVERYTHING.
    2
  22. Oh yes, and Boston to NYC in 85 minutes? That would be phenomenal. You could live in Boston, work in NYC, or vice versa. That would seriously dent cars, buses and air travel in the northeast.
    2
  23. Thanks David. You're not giving them a platform, if anything you call them out on their crap! Good job of it too!
    2
  24. Vitamin D is synthesized by exposure to UV light. And mirror can be designed to also reflect the UV components.
    2
  25. Every time I take the test I end up somewhere to the left of Ghandi! My stats: -8.38/-8.31 So you can see why I made the above comment.
    2
  26. I went with Home Chef. After about 5 months I stopped the subscription. The biggest issue was the amount of packaging materials got a little out of hand.
    1
  27. Regards IMSI catchers and the like I've been aware of them for a long time.
    1
  28. Well AI is going to change a very large swatch of the economy. Autonomous cars for example - the auto industry will see large changes in sales, plus cops - you won't need as many traffic enforcement police. Medicine - gene editing particularly CRISPR-Cas9.
    1
  29. So in essence, the bigots can go back to the stone age. Good - I want to see them live by Biblical rules - just for 30 days.
    1
  30. But at 97% they believed 3 points was enough doubt to put up an argument. But at 99.94, 6 hundreths of a percent is a little harder to argue upon. Pus there's the Shell Oil report from 1984 that pretty much tipped it that climate change was man made.
    1
  31. $30K? Wow, makes me glad I'm in the field I'm in.
    1
  32. I agree with liability insurance. It'd cost about $900 a year.
    1
  33. Oil and gasoline prices have been manipulated hard since the 1970's. Blame speculation (oil should NOT be traded on the speculative market!), the constriction of refining capability, and just the general boorishness of the oil companies about spills (BP), and you can see that we need to stop them in their tracks. I estimate if this continues we will see gasoline prices in the $6 to $8 per gallon range by July 2011.
    1
  34. Here's what I don't get. I don't know of a single police agency in the U.S. that isn't heavily unionized. So what's up with that?
    1
  35. Ok, there's news that reasonable levels of Vitamin D stave off a lot of cancers. So this contradicts this study.
    1
  36. Oh they're going to nail her! I love it!
    1
  37. I have seen the video of the 1986 RI Constitutional Convention. I've never seen something come so close to trading blows with each other. It was incredible. And I'll be honest - I could see doing it every 10 years - if anything just to clarify language.
    1
  38. Here in RI we settled the creche case back in the 1980's. So our Governor is correct in calling the trees in the State House by their proper name, Holiday Trees.
    1
  39. Well if we want to split hairs even more, perhaps we should look at the makeup of the hijackers. 17 of the 19 were Sauid Arabian. It means they practice the Wahabi version of Islam. It's one of the more virulent forms of the religion.
    1
  40. I tend to go lower carb - but two or three times a week I will do non-meat dishes or fish. Try for the five services of fruit and vegetable every day too.
    1
  41. One of the biggest? Need I remind Herr Beck that there was the WTC Bombing in 1993 or so, then 9/11/2001, in the body count category Boston ranks, thankfully, very low. While I am sad about the people who died, in the total realm of things Boston was a non-event.
    1
  42. I think Kim Jong Un realized his bluff can't be played out. Therefore he wants to resolve the North Korea issue. And if you ever saw a night time map of the Koreas - North Korea is a dark wasteland. Plus add the brain drain from North Korea. And Kim Jong Un wants what South Korea has.
    1
  43. Just do Google Checkout. 20/2 plan. So if it's $25 it's 20 cents plus 50 cents, or 70 cents. To me that's acceptable, to others it's not so acceptable.
    1
  44. Reduction to the absurd. That's what they're using to try to bolster their conspiracy theories.
    1
  45. Conduct Unbecoming! What part doesn't the Michigan AG not get about that?
    1
  46. And David, you make the point for common carrier status of cable data networks. And here in Providence I have the choice of Cox or Verizon - a duopoly. Neither is a bargain and I've experience horror stories from the former, and really bad horror stories from the latter. So what choice is there?
    1
  47. 1.9/1.5 - intact family until I was 13 then blended family after a death of a parent. Grew up in urban environment.
    1
  48. The problem is that Brown ASSUMES we all believe in the same God. What about those of us who don't believe in any god? Why should we have to live by the strictures of YOUR God.
    1
  49. Yes I have. I've been in the protest for gay rights in RI and in the National Equality march. Can't get much more political than that.
    1
  50. This bitch is Italian? Through marriage, oh wait she's not married. So her mother had to be Italian and her father Irish.
    1
  51. Hmmm.. Phelps-Roper almost seems sane in this interview.
    1
  52. There are literally hundreds of examples of this - from fertilizer plants, foam padding plants, even technology plants - all violate regulation on a regular basis.
    1
  53. Here's what I see happening. He wants manufacturing to spin up in the U.S. But the thing is it's never going to happen. Robotics are a big deal too. Trump doesn't understand this. And this will affect everyone - from the poor to the middle class to the rich. Free and open trade has been what kept the United States afloat. And what do we make in the U.S. - well chemicals, computer chips, and some hardware.
    1
  54. If a fishing expedition and nothing more.
    1
  55. Klingenschmitt can stuff his bible you know where.
    1
  56. Medicare is hands down the best way to cover medical procedures and surgery. Their overhead is LESS then 3%. Whereas private insurers have overhead of 20% or more.
    1
  57. Just drop a baby like this from Boston to Virginia and I'd be happy!
    1
  58. I too was via the agencies of a friend. Let that subscription lapse. As to my username I do keep my amateur radio license though.
    1
  59. Well I could load blanks into it. That would be fun.
    1
  60. I think you've been reading the NRA magazines Armed Response column.
    1
  61. The old saying, go gas go boom is applicable here. Natural gas as a rule has a fairly low energy density. When we did the redundant power at the RI Sec of State's office that was mentioned. But get enough of it concentrated somewhere and pow!
    1
  62. Mercury is a neurotoxin. So there is some credit to high exposure potentially causing certain diseases.
    1
  63. I'm sorry but pharmacists are part of the health care system and as such should not be able to refuse service to someone because they disagree with their sexual orientation, or whether the pharmacist believes they've done something morally wrong to require those drugs. Policy should be any pharmacists who wears their faith on their sleeve like that should be out looking for a job post haste because under the policy I propose, they'd be terminated.
    1
  64. It allows you turn the kids over to authorities. The question is which authorities. And I can say, as a kid I was very stubborn - I'd be dead sure as shit if we live by Biblical law.
    1
  65. That's because Pat Robertson is an old fool.
    1
  66. If I recall under Rabbinical law isn't the Jewish identity passed down through the mother and not the father? That's how I've heard it anyhow.
    1
  67. I once worked in a DNA Laboratory and there was a huge liquid nitrogen canister there. It would vent out every now and then and there were oxygen monitors - if the percentage went below 22% and alarm would sound.
    1
  68. The thing you are bypassing so to speak is this: The autonomous vehciles - they have better sensory apparatus than humans do. So why not just set them loose?
    1
  69. Nope - it isn't true that we get more conservative as we age. I'm half a century and still pretty liberal myself.
    1
  70. Unbelievable - look the U.S. has been a polyglot nation for a long time. If you cannot get over that then you shouldn't leave your home. Me, I understand a little bit of Italian, a lot more of Spanish. I don't care what language you speak. Long as you understand money is green and you're a good person we're good.
    1
  71. I think part of it is your take down of a lot of anti-gay people. That alone - but you never triggered any sort of gaydar for me.
    1
  72. Sing with me... "Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is good, and every sperm is needed in your neighborhood!" Of course this is hypocrisy on the part of the Catholic Church. And it proves that the church is only about protecting its own wealth.
    1
  73. I think the correct and appropriate term is persona non grata! That is what former President George W. Bush is, persona non grata!
    1
  74. Think about it for a moment. FIrst North Korea cannot even provide widespread electricity to its population. And then think about South Korea - they have Hyundai Heavy, Samsung, and a multitude of other big tech companies. North Korea has none of that.
    1
  75. Did they even realize that this gives whole new meaning to horseplay?
    1
  76. Oh wow - Catholic - yeah my first 12 years of education were in Catholic schools. What really tore it was the year in high school we examined the Bible. And I do mean examined. It's then we learned of translation error, copy error and editorializing by scribes and the whole upshot I came to was it was all based in only so much bovine effluent and nothing more. And that caused me to step back and look at the church and I realized it was a sight, sound and smell factory.
    1
  77. Yeah, to hell with Time Warner. But then Comcast isn't anything special either. And I'm rather pissed at Cox - my monthly bill just shot up $10. They say it's energy costs but electricity has been stable so what the hell.
    1
  78. Well, I peg it at 29% of Americans but we're only 9 points divergent so int he same general ballpark.
    1
  79. What is more interesting about Curiosity is that she is more autonomous than past rovers. That in itself is pretty fascinating. And I agree with Louis - defense spending is excessive.
    1
  80. I see a 1st amendment case coming from this. By the way, you make a mistake talking about it being illegal. It is clearly UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
    1
  81. Of course it is fear mongering. Or bluster if you really want to get down to it.
    1
  82. Actually, being a bigot is more a birth defect than anything. Their limbic system is off.
    1
  83. And I'm an InfoTech/InfoSec guy and I say security is accomplished sort of the way an onion is constructed. Security must be multi-layered.
    1
  84. A headline if you will "Prayer Kills"
    1
  85. I'll give you one Ajit Pai - he has no business being the lead commissioner at the FCC. And Ben Carson, Rick Perry et al are all morons.
    1
  86. I see a 1st amendment case coming from this.
    1
  87. A lot of Heinlein's books are excellent reads.
    1
  88. Oh man, a bigot cavalcade! Nice job David. You almost lost it a couple times though, hell I couldn't keep myself from calling them assholes either. But you do a good job! And please, interview Maggie Gallagher and Brian Brown. And in the case of Gallagher, tell her love and kisses from her least favorite opponent.
    1
  89. I understood a long time ago how stupid vast swaths of the U.S. population happens to be at this time.
    1
  90. He's got name recognition and that counts for something. And he could be a serious threat to Quinn. It'll be interesting to see how he fares in the race.
    1
  91. She really is a piece of work. And I read about her drunken grope with a guy. That was more than I needed to know about her.
    1
  92. Iran-Contra story is a good one. I recall a cake was sent to one of the Islamic clerics along with a shipment of arms.
    1
  93. That one about 5 years of more. What he completely neglects is how many reverted to homosexuality in less than 5 years. Ooops!
    1
  94. Recall too that Tillerson called Trump a "Fucking Moron". An accurate assessment on Tillerson's part.
    1
  95. In all the numerical analysis I've one about the electorate I find there's a core of 29% or so that are the bat shit crazy.
    1
  96. I have the same t-shirt as Louis. Got it off Woot.
    1
  97. Oh and the other thing about Randy - he loved water and loved to play fetch.
    1
  98. Where I live they recently went to single stream for recyclables. In other words paper, glass, metal can all be mixed. Much better. But we could generate a lot of our energy from trash. Hell, they just VENT the gas from the landfill here and only recently started burning it for energy production.
    1
  99. This is going to be interesting to see how it pans out. The city has a solid case and the church has no case at all.
    1
  100. Puritanical repression never works.
    1
  101. Actually I'll offer one other benefit of NATO that I think is interesting. It prevents Germany from re-arming to the point where it takes over all Europe. Recall that twice in the 20th century they tried. I doubt they've bred that out of the German populace by now.
    1
  102. Go read the Arms of Krup. That's one recommendation I can make for you.
    1
  103. Just google "Ladder Theory"
    1
  104. And believe me CBO has all these numbers, they know too but they refuse to publish!
    1
  105. Get ready for the price gouging! And recall American was in shaky shape a few years back. So this merger is interesting. And recall the biggest airline prior, one Pan Am. And where is Pan Am now?
    1
  106. It's a careless mistake. And here in RI, to get your Blue card that allows you to purchase a gun, you take a gun safety class. Never assume a weapon is loaded, and always be sure to check the chamber. That's drilled into you.
    1
  107. Prosecuting the 10 year old was a complete miscarriage of justice.
    1
  108. This makes a very good point and I would hope the guy gets a good attorney to hold the courts feet to the letter of the law interpretation.
    1
  109. It's obvious now that the Bush Administration is guilty of crimes against humanity. So why aren't our elected officials done anything? Because some of the policies continue into new administrations.
    1
  110. It's because the flow of progress is logarithmic, not linear.
    1
  111. There is a reason a U.S. aircraft carrier is parked in the yellow sea. Sure, it's for military exercises with South Korea. But I think North Korea is just stupid enough to try to attack an aircraft carrier. What they don't know is there is probably enough armament on a modern aircraft carrier to lay waste to MOST of North Korea.
    1
  112. Yeah it's a magistrate in RI too. But it is a CIVIL offense. You might want to consult an attorney though. And look up the MA general laws.
    1
  113. Like the new studio! And good show. Glad you're talking about the DOMA situation. It isn't going to necessarily change anything but it is going to set legal precedent.
    1
  114. Here's hoping that Robertson suffers an 8.5lb blockage in his transcending colon!
    1
  115. You're act as conservative doesn't ring as sincere. After all if corporations other than insurance companies thought about it, they'd realize that a national health care system would mean employers would have MORE money to hire other employees.
    1
  116. Well, you answered WHY the FDA has dropped the ball. It's an industry insider group now. They're not going to to anything in our interest.
    1
  117. The Koch brother should be up against the wall and shot!
    1
  118. Oh sure, having an abusive parent around for a longer time will definitely keep a family together. If you believe that, well, I feel sorry for you.
    1
  119. This was a breaking of the union and a looting of the company by venture capitalists.
    1
  120. Porno Petey needs to understand that a lot more ex-gays have come out as being gay all along than those who've allegedly 'changed'.
    1
  121. BTW, regarding R&D that's DARPA. DARPA has been doing some VERY interesting work. From autonomous vehicles to advanced emergency medicine. And the payoff to investment with DARPA is extremely high. BTW, we could re-apportion what we spend prosecuting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and instead sink $100 Billion into energy solutions like advanced batteries, etc.
    1
  122. Consider that newspapers in the U.S. are mostly written for a sixth grade level and you see the issue.
    1
  123. Let's say a pizza is $10, adding 20 cents would be a .0002% tax. Apply this to all fast food and the tax revenue would be significant. In 2010 there were $184 Billion in fast food sales, so the tax revenue for health care there would be $36.8 million a year. Tiny but good for us overall.
    1
  124. Yeah but just because Ann Romney is so nice is no reason to vote for her husband. And in Ann Romney's case - they may have once been 'poor' they certainly haven't been for some time. And they got rich on the backs of the middle class workers. Remember that.
    1
  125. She is clearly insane. She didn't win, and she didn't change the Deleware system. But she's right, the Republican party will never be the same because it's gone off the edge and into the abyss.
    1
  126. This is just one aspect of regenerative medicine. So far they've now done bladders, esophagus, and they're on the cusp of liver, kidneys, and heart regeneration.
    1
  127. PC and Android here.
    1
  128. Until such time as North Korea's own military decides to end it all. They'll turn on their leaders given the right motivation. And think about this, North Korea is losing population. People are actually escaping into China and South Korea.
    1
  129. Here's my thing. When you brush by someone accidentally you say "Excuse me.". If someone does it, teach women how to wear heels and teach them how to use them for defensive purposes. :)
    1
  130. The culture in the U.S. is based on fear - so the guns everywhere makes sense in that respect. But the thing I found out is that you have nothing to fear at all.
    1
  131. Yeah, Iraq was interesting. Consider that 17 of the 19 hijackers in 9/11/01 were Saudi Arabian you can see what I'm talking about here.
    1
  132. My first cat - his name was Randy. When someone knocked on the door he wouldn't run away, he's stand in front of the door and growl.
    1
  133. That's because the people who wrote the Bible text didn't have access to infrared micro-spectroscopy. They barely had bronze tooling!
    1
  134. Yeah I remember when I turned 18 they had boosted the age to 19. But once I turned 19 I could drink like a proverbial fish if I wished.
    1
  135. New Hampshire is a beautiful state but it's got such wingnuts representing them.
    1
  136. I'm not so sure. Here's why: There is increasing evidence of the damage done by alcohol to the developing brain. Add to that the fact that the frontal cortex doesn't complete growth until approximately age 26. Then add toxicity. The effective to fatal dose for alcohol 1:10, in other words if two beers gets you buzzed, 20 will kill you. Marijuana on the other hand is 1:1000, and that thousand is literally impossible to smoke.
    1
