What? Are you serious?
Firstly, no matter how economically you drive, the same driving will yield DRAMATICALLY higher milage with a hybrid. The information is out there. In the real world, nothing even comes close to touching a Prius without being tiny and or diesel.
Second of all, the Prius isn’t a race car. Any car will […]

When I was in high school we had class competitions, and one of them was a basketball-related game. They’d line 4 basketball players along one baseline, blindfold them, give them a ball and spin them in circles three or four times. Then they’d cut them loose and the winner would be whoever dribbled to the […]

It makes me laugh just thinking about how events from the past would be politicized by one political branch or the other, for example the Sahara desert was a jungle 6000 years ago, if that was happening now everyone with a point to make and a point to move would be blaming everything and everyone […]

This was why I dissed Bob Barr yesterday regarding the Chris Wallace interview. Seems a lot of people are willing to quickly thumbs down my comment without thinking, as well as eagerly defend his recent flip flops. I refuse to overlook Barr’s attempt to outlaw medical marijuana. It’s like taking Dylan seriously if he had […]

Again your exchanging one set of “risks” for another. Even vaporizing it doesn’t negate ALL the negative health effects.
If that were the case then all the tobacco idiots would be using vaporizers or eating it for the “health benefits”.
Why not just embrace your disease and get on with it. There is always the […]

Just because he’s liberal *for a mainstream US politician* doesn’t mean he’s a leftist.
Obama is opposed to NAFTA but only wants to reform it. He’s opposed to telecom immunity but he’ll still vote for the FISA bill even if he can’t remove that clause. He supports federal funding for health coverage, but not […]

HUME didn’t think you could come to any knowledge about God because you had no experience of the metaphysical! Why do you think that Hume somehow abolishes all of science and epistimology as well?
You sure are a one trick pony.
Why don’t you read something modern, like “Meaning Postulates” by Carnap or the Foundations of […]

I always thought it was funny how everyone says smoking is bad for you, but never says what quantity a person has to have before it becomes bad for you.
It’s like saying red meat is terrible for you, fruits will give you diarrhea, chocolate will destroy you, and food in general will give you heart […]

This is the final nail in the Creationist coffin.
The only real argument Creationists ever had for not accepting evolution was the idea it seemed improbable that complex and useful biological attributes could be evolved. They argue that the random mutation of a complex useful structure is unlikely (it is), but they also argue that the […]
