Re: Muslims Wait a loving minute. I know there are Muslim names listed among the troops who fought in the revolutionary war, and I'm pretty sure the captains of the Nina and Pinta were Muslims.

The "drill baby drill" remarks are making the rounds on facebook again. (WE COULD HAVE STOPPED THESE GAS PRICES OMG!!!) Anyone have a link to that graph of projected oil extraction from the deep water drilling? The one that shows it's like a 1% increase in output 10 years from now?

Zwabu posted:By arguing with her, you were basically just spoiling her right wing fun. The people who indulge these email/FB forwards really couldn't care less about facts and verification, they're just reaffirming prejudices and preconceived notions (Christianity good, government bad, black people bad, Republicans good, Democrats bad) and membership in the Fox Nation tribe. I've got this going on facebook right now about Obama being credited for the OBL kill. "Obama didn't kill OBL, soldiers did! And just weeks ago he was considering not paying them!" I responded by asking where she'd heard anyone suggest that Obama actually pulled the trigger and whether or not she was aware that it wasn't Obama holding up the soldier pay. "I'm entitled to my opinion! Everyone needs to back off!" Yeah, it isn't about debate or discussion.

Oxford Comma posted:Would someone mind explaining how America's debt is different than the debts of a household? My family uses this analogy all the time. I know its wrong, but don't know how to refute it. Most of the "household's" debt is held by the people living in said "household." (Americans own most of the Federal debt) Household's routinely borrow many times their income - check your mortgage The US government can borrow pretty much unlimited funds at near-zero interest rates "List the ways that a family of four is similar to the United States Federal Government."

It's nothing. There is a highly localized effect of extra air mixing. It warms up ground temperatures slightly at night in the immediate vicinity of the wind turbines. Ask him what effect on local temperatures he thinks a coal plant has.

sicarius posted:I'd support a movement like this. I'd like to see kids in schools a bit longer - maybe even something like 9 to 5. I'd like to see less take home work, because it can lead to confusion and more time with teachers in things like study halls and "academic after hours". So yeah, makes perfect sense. If I had my way the only things kids would really do outside of school is assigned reading because that, to me at least, makes sense. You don't need to be on campus to read "Catcher in the Rye". College is a lot harder if you never learned how to study on your own.

archangelwar posted:These countries, as far as I know, do not have a deep history of using ID as a means to disenfranchise voters. Combine voter ID with a robust national ID program that was targeted at going through great lengths to ensure everyone has free ID. Then maybe you will see stronger support. Not from Republicans you wouldn't. Protecting the electoral process isn't their goal.
