Re: Good Review Of "Ender's"
While I'm a big big fan of the book and most of Card's other works as well, the movie didn't quite live up to my expectations. Don't get me wrong, it was well worth seeing, and I still recommend it - it was visually phenomenal, well cast & acted, and they did manage to condense the plotline and merg...

Thorium Powered Cars
A new take on thorium power ideas; use it to laser a steam engine. Hope it really makes it to prototype.

Done. Thought it might be worth the effort to draw out at least one half-civil, descriptive post from the nut. Sorry for the clutter.GIThruster wrote:I highly recommend the ignore option. It restores sanity to the forum.

Re: Koch bros, Libertarianism, and Holocaust Denial
So do you always make up lies about how people who disagree with you "hate" you? "you're still rebelling against mommy and daddy?" "can you count?" "wall-to-wall meshbacks" "paranoid psychotics" I'm sorry, which armband should I wear? Rebel? Lying liar? Meshback? Mentally Unstable? Perhaps you've a...

Re: Koch bros, Libertarianism, and Holocaust Denial
A libertarian is an anti-authoritarian. Based on what I'm reading of your writings; you're not a libertarian of any breed. You're a full on statist of the harshest composition. A hive mind collectivist. A true anti-authoritarian would be deadset against the ACA and everything it stands for. Tyranny...

Hey, Schneibbie, any relation to Bill Schmalfeldt? You write a lot like him.

Would you consider Winston Churchill a coward for refusing to stop the bombing of Coventry in WWII? I presume the Coventry reference is to the thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory that Churchill was trying to protect the fact that Enigma had been cracked, even though he'd already previously used i...

Grab something massive like Mercury, speed it up to smack Venus hard and right where you want it. If you do it right, Venus gets a moon, spins up so it has reasonable day lengths and a magnetic field, you strip some atmosphere away, and what's left will be inundated with enough dirt and minor impac...

A company in Israel was seeking funding for a similar concept engine, but I can't find anything written on them more current than 2008, so I presume they failed to find investors.

It was once considered a part of the Republican Party until Nixon drove them out with wage and price controls. It started much earlier than that with Teddy Roosevelt and the Progressive infiltration of the Republican party; that's where the first major splinter occurred between libertarian R and Di...

Actually, the stupidity feedback loop is clear. We poison/damage/destroy ourselves thus increasing stupidity leading to more incidences of acts which increase our stupidity. There should be a law for that! There is no cure for stupid, so why legislate it? I want to add: every single linked example ...

If you have the tech to move mass around the solar system, why limit it to hydrogen bombs and mineral rain?

I think the chanting was taken out of context, but as I wasn't there and I didn't see what what caused this chant I can't say. I did notice how the person recording cherry picked what to show. Same old tactics, but that really doesn't matter. This nation is to ideologically split, I don't think the...
