It's not nice to redact posts after replies have been made.

Unfortunately, although he was kept out of the vice-Presidency, Ryan wasn't voted out of office.

Will we have to wait that long for you to do more than make vague accusations? What is the "fiasco"?

Also, Maryland passed the statewide version of the DREAM act.

That does not follow. Also, it assumes belief is a matter of choice rather than demonstrating it. I cannot choose to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but that doesn't mean I don't have free will. Free will only applies to things that are a matter of choice. Or, one could argue that I can in fact choose to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but I just cannot actually perform the act I chose to perform. This is acceptable, but it still doesn't help you at all, since the same reasoning allows for the possibility that one can choose to change their beliefs, but not be able to. If you think belief is a matter of choice, try John's experiment:

It's his second term; hopefully, he'll learn how to use his Veto stamp and wear it out.

Even FOX "news" is now saying Obama won. Good job. Other big wins: Elizabeth Warren won, Todd Akin got legitimately raped in the polls, and Colorado became the first state to legalize marijuana. Also, Maine legalized gay marriage. Man, are some conservatives going to be PISSED about this election.

And there's the bit where the "glitches" are extremely one-sided. This one only makes selections of Obama for Romney. Other "glitches" only "lose" votes in particularly ethnic or low income areas that tend to vote blue. Even with rampant cheating, Obama won. Rigney, try not to have a heart attack.

Video description: My wife and I went to the voting booths this morning before work. There were 4 older ladies running the show and 3 voting booths that are similar to a science fair project in how they fold up. They had an oval VOTE logo on top center and a cartridge slot on the left that the volunteers used to start your ballot. I initially selected Obama but Romney was highlighted. I assumed it was being picky so I deselected Romney and tried Obama again, this time more carefully, and still got Romney. Being a software developer, I immediately went into troubleshoot mode. I first thought the calibration was off and tried selecting Jill Stein to actually highlight Obama. Nope. Jill Stein was selected just fine. Next I deselected her and started at the top of Romney's name and started tapping very closely together to find the 'active areas'. From the top of Romney's button down to the bottom of the black checkbox beside Obama's name was all active for Romney. From the bottom of that same checkbox to the bottom of the Obama button (basically a small white sliver) is what let me choose Obama. Stein's button was fine. All other buttons worked fine. I asked the voters on either side of me if they had any problems and they reported they did not. I then called over a volunteer to have a look at it. She him hawed for a bit then calmly said "It's nothing to worry about, everything will be OK." and went back to what she was doing. I then recorded this video.

No.

What indicators of photo manipulation are there in this image to make you think that?

Fun fact: We know how crop circles are made. It's not extraterrestrials; it's people with ropes and boards.

If the moon landings were fake, how did our stuff get up there? We can bounce lasers off of the retro-reflectors and we can take pictures of the lunar landers.

Yes, because you're no longer dealing with a flat space. Geometry is different depending on the curvature of the space.

They are deliberately entangled in experiment, so it's not exactly an assumption.

If we're going to choose to believe fiction, there's better fiction than that. And without the, you know, guilt trips: "You, mathematician, are like a monkey who, with heroic mental effort, has figured out how to count to three. You find four pebbles and think that you have discovered infinity. You differ from a chimpanzee by a mere two hundred genes. How could that miniscule difference enable you to comprehend the universe, when the chimpanzee cannot even comprehend a grain of sand?"-Douglas Preston "No one is saved because no one is lost. No one is forgiven because no one is accused."-Douglas Preston "Once you know what people really want, you can't hate them anymore. You can fear them, but you can't hate them, because you can always find the same desires in your own heart."-Andrew Wiggin "I’m not one to despise other people for their sins. I haven’t found one yet, that I didn’t say to myself, I’ve done worse than this."-Andrew Wiggin "No human being, when you understand his desires, is worthless. No one's life is nothing. Even the most evil of men and women, if you understand their hearts, had some generous act that redeems them, at least a little, from their sins"-Andrew Wiggin "Ignorance and deception can’t save anybody. Knowing saves them."-Andrew Wiggin "You won't even remember me. Well, you'll remember me a little; I'll be a story in your head. And that's ok; we're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one."-The Doctor "What's the point in them being happy now, if they're going to be sad later? The answer, of course, is that they're going to be sad later."-The Doctor "You spend all your time thinking about dying, like you're gonna get killed by eggs, or beef, or global warming, or asteroids. But you never take time to imagine the impossible. Like maybe you survive."-The Doctor "Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch we are free...An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us."-Valerie "I find it more comforting to believe that this isn't simply a test."-House Hmm.....maybe my humanism influences the fiction that I enjoy.

Danke schön.

Oh noes, that affects the rep I've accrued since 2004 so much and I care so much! </sarcasm> Seriously, though, I'm not sure how this obvious voter fraud and voter impropriety isn't getting more traction. You'd think this sort of thing would be something that would cause (and probably should cause should the cheater win) riots.

None. Electrons are leptons. Quarks are the constituents of hadrons.

Pi is an exact number. As is e as is Phi. Irrational numbers aren't fuzzy wuzzy things; they're just numbers that cannot be represented as ratios of whole numbers. And since pi is defined as a ratio, that means for every perfect circle in a Euclidean (the ratio that gives us pi varies by the curvature of the space in which you're doing the geometry) geometry, the circumference, the diameter, or both are themselves irrational! On a side note, I like the "and so on" there; it implies a pattern where there is none. If it were a regular pattern, it would be rational. One must take care to distinguish between the description and the thing being described. Mathematics is an abstract description of reality, so it shouldn't be terribly surprising that it accurately reflects how the universe behaves; that is what it was designed to do. It seems that the issue here is when people ask why mathematics describes reality so well, what they really want to know is why reality behaves so regularly that it allows for description via formal languages and systems.

Since Romney tries to make Obama look bad by asking "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?", you may have a point.

You chose an odd way to go about that. You know, making vague accusations and whatnot. Such as?

With the new "experimental" software patches installed on Romney's machines in Ohio, it's hard to see how this is a fair election. After all of the voter purging. After absentee ballots being thrown away. After "glitches" lose thousands of votes in low income areas. Have no delusion about this being a fair election. The GOP makes a big stink about the nonexistent problem of voter impersonation, but they don't bat an eye at the real and rampant voter fraud. Why? Because they're the one doing it and the restrictions they can make in the name of voter impersonation help them do it.

It's exceedingly clear that they are guilty of apartheid. And how about you watch Occupation 101 before pushing more links on me? It's only fair.

Since you seem to be a fan of YT videos, check this one out. It's relevant, and unlike some of yours, is not spammy personal attacks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_jvXnPG9Xc How would you react if Canada invaded and occupied the US? Would you sit there and take it? How about after they restrict your access to movement during their occupation? How about after they restrict your access to water during the occupation? What if the Canadians tore down your home? Apartheid is a bad thing; it's about time you stop getting your news from FOX.
