    Will Interstellar inspire a new space race?

    Star Trek is less about moral issues and fighting evil than Star Wars is. Well, until maybe DS9 but Cisco does some shady things in that series. Star Wars exists in a setting where most of the known galaxy is discovered, colonized, industrialized and within communication. Star Trek is set in...

    Will Interstellar inspire a new space race?

    Good thing we have things called "brains" that let us bridge the gaps. Furthermore, you are assuming there aren't other places we could thrive or ways to make them thrivable. This planet is not going to last forever, especially at the rate we're taking care of it. If the species is to survive...

    Bible says Noah's flood was regional.

    Because we have zero evidence of a flood story before the black sea traders headed south. And we have evidence of the Epic of Gilgamesh well before the traders headed south. It is logical to conclude that the area that did in fact have the story first with archeological evidence and that spread...

    Putin warns Russians of hard times ahead

    Putin will systematically target minority after minority to maintain popularity. He's doing this with cultural issues and he's doing this with business. But that cannot be maintained forever. Really have to wonder what Putin's end game is.

    Reporter Suspended For Defending Evolution Comes Back, Gives Immediate Middle Finger

    Re: Reporter Suspended For Defending Evolution Comes Back, Gives Immediate Middle Fin Indeed. I often will ask Creationists to provide examples of commercialized products their "science" helps product that aren't media propaganda. 99% of the time Creationists will run. 1% of the time they'll...

    Guidestar is better but it requires registration....and sometimes professional tax experience to dig through 990s.

    Romney Insider: Mitt's Running...

    Which is little more than your opinion. Note you didn't discuss Romney's problems. You just turned this into an Obama bash.

    Even Reagan knew it. [W:197]

    Blame Bush and the GOP for that. It was their tax reform that reduced the rates and increased the exemption amount that effectively rendered millions of people out of the tax brackets.

    Romney Insider: Mitt's Running...

    Romney got hamstrung by the GOP primary system. He had to abandon most if not all of his positions as the former Governor of Massachusetts to adopt wildly different views. And then he had to drop those views to compete in the general election. All of that cast Romney as a candidate who really...

    Romney Insider: Mitt's Running...

    This is a myth. Generally CEOs are used to dealing with a few people, namely a board of directors. A president has stunningly little actual power compared to a CEO, and especially a CEO who holds a sizable amount of shares. A CEO can essentially change policy and actually enact that policy...

    Romney Insider: Mitt's Running...

    He still has to get over the perception that he has no actual beliefs other than he should be President. Mittens in the 2012 campaign would say almost anything to anyone just to get their vote. At least you knew what Obama believed. When Mittens changed his tune sometimes within the same day...

    Which charity should I give to?

    The Salvation Army's History of Anti-LGBT Discrimination*|*Zinnia Jones Last I checked, SA's charitable expenses were about 82%. Which is pretty good. But 18% administration fees is still kind of high to me. I'd prefer to see that number around 12-10% at most.

    Which charity should I give to?

    Child's Play This one. $0 fees, $0 management leeching, 100% guaranteed buying what sick children in hospitals want. When you can buy exactly what they want and have every cent of your money go towards that, I'd prefer that over a charity that may take as much as 40% of your money for...

    Reporter Suspended For Defending Evolution Comes Back, Gives Immediate Middle Finger

    Re: Reporter Suspended For Defending Evolution Comes Back, Gives Immediate Middle Fin Actually, Apes get chosen because they are genetically the most similar living organisms to humans these days, not to rile up the Creationists. I compare mankind with starfish to remind people that we all...

    Does Obama get blamed for hostage rescue failure...

    What Obama DOES get credit/blame for in OBL's liquidation is authorizing the act of war against Pakistan. Remember that every drone attack we do in the Middle East now is in some way backed by the local government. What Obama did in OBL was authorize an invasion of Pakistan that was completely...
