Shows how hated the health insurance industry really is. A murderer has become a folk hero in no time flat because of who he killed. Granted the man he killed is likely responsible for many more deaths, just in a more indirect fashion. Of course I'm of the mind that the entire health care...

I fear he's too far gone to gain perspective. He thrives on creating hate. It's his thing. It's all he has. Just a little bearded ball of phobias and vitriol.

There are other implications to this. If she pretended that she was man and was wearing male armor, that would also imply that the rohirrim are all rather *ahem* poorly endowed, or that they all are masters at the art of tucking, even the cis ones.

Last test I unlocked the chronophaser, a tool used to modify rocks into different forms by melting or compressing them. I used it to melt some overhangs on cliffs and watch the resulting molten rock fall down to the land below(I feel this could actually be useful in certain combat situations in...

She's the least biological of all the Borg. Really, it seems that the only biological parts to her are some skin and musculature on her upper torso and head and maybe a little bit of neural tissue(not even sure on that). It could be that she's more of a control node in the network that...

Axaday, We don't want him. Only place he belongs is some random cave far from the rest of society.

They aren't weather, per say, but they can be both triggered by and affect the weather.

Changing the weather as a side effect of trying to get rich is fine. Changing the weather because you actually want to change the weather, not fine. I know intent is important, but....

Fair enough, we(the US) loudly told our parents off and ran away from home. Canada stayed around until the British Empire was so disgusted with them they kicked them out.(Which is saying something given the crap the British Empire did) (I know that's not why Canada got it's Independence, I'm...

Don't make me pull out the history book. I'LL DO IT! I'VE DONE IT BEFORE! Remember Canada is the offspring of the British Empire, just like the US is. They are just better at hiding it.

Yea, no warp flight, no first contact with the Vulcans, no Federation. The Alpha and Beta quadrants would have been a very different place. Remember the Vulcans and the Andorians were quite hostile to each other until the Humans came around and were able to get them to work together against...

Probably not a good idea to ask, Axaday. Canada might have a reputation for niceness, but they have some pretty nasty skeletons in their closet

So the trick is to just not go back to Idaho then... Doubt the state where the abortion occurs would allow extradition in this case.

Or not, Paladin. Bulk of the country supports same sex marriage, and it's not a major issue most people, outside of religious zealots and actual gay people, think much about. Heck, in 2025 the Governor and the Senate of Michigan will both be controlled by Democrats and the Republicans will...

Indeed. Assuming pre-crime becomes a crime.... There ARE ways to use this for good, but I have little faith that it would be used for such. Instead of "We predict you may soon commit a crime, so we will find constructive ways to steer you in another direction that will benefit both you and...

Well, Trump DOES want to devalue the dollar in a poor attempt at bringing manufacturing back, so that checks out. The rich will be able to move their investments to other currencies before he does, so they'll be fine, but the bulk of us....

Disagree with the pardon(actually, disagree with numerous things Biden has done), but can't say I'm not smiling a little at the Republican's getting a big middle finger from Biden on his way out.

I'm not 100% sure on that. The Supreme Court has been a bit of a wildcard since Trump left office the first time. They'll tow the line on one case and then make a surprise decision on the next. We shall see. Not sure why the President would even have the authority to force congress into...

That's exactly what it is. They morphed from from authoritarian-socialist to authoritarian-capitalist over the past 40 years.
