2. What you said was just inherently wrong. There's countless nuclear waste spills across the country. Read up.

You're right, I misspoke. I meant to say "there hasn't been an incident of theft, leakage, or loss of spent fuel rods in America in-transit to disposal since modern regulations (the past 30ish years) were implemented." I was addressing a common fear that it's dangerous to truck nuclear fuel away from a power plant, or that it's susceptible to theft by terrorist or otherwise criminal organizations. I used a shorthand that normally works for the people I talk with about this that would understand what I meant, and I should have been more clear.

3. I'm not an expert on nuclear physics, meaning there comes a point where I have to choose which source I'm going to listen to. In the sense that garbage incineration isn't actually an environmentally safe procedure as it's often claimed to be, the same generally goes for nuclear power. And seeing as all you've done is ramble about how safe it is without providing any sources to your information, and seeing part of your knowledge on nuclear power and nuclear waste is wrong, I can't simply take your word without knowing which organizations you get your information from.

What do you want a citation for? That spent fuel rods are encased in steel or concrete then buried? Okay, here you go, just pick one:

https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=how%20is%20nuclear%20waste%20disposed%20of

I didn't read any of this on the internet; I don't have sources bookmarked for every statement I make.

Or rather, nuclear waste is only easy to dispose of if done improperly, which the United States currently does, so yeah I guess I could give you that it's "easy" to dispose of.

Please do educate me, O Wise One, on the proper method of disposing of nuclear waste.

A caveat to your response is that there hasn't been an incident of theft, leakage, or loss of spent fuel rods in America in-transit to disposal since modern regulations (the past 30ish years) were implemented. It's also fairly simple to dispose of: encase it in steel and concrete, then bury it in the ground.

There's a booty reference to be made here.

If I've learned one thing from you, it's that booty is everywhere. You just have to look.

No, however I don't think prostitutes should be charged with a crime, rather they should be given help. Rehabilitative justice is something that is desperately necessary and lacking in modern society. Currently, prostitution laws evoke a cycle of abuse, stemming from sex workers' inability to leave their profession because of arrest records and psychological trauma.

Legal prostitution removes that barrier, which I wholeheartedly support. But it's also true that legal prostitution does nothing to protect women from abuse. I'm not sure how you can see a study that demonstrates nearly 70% of legal sex workers have PTSD, or more than half are victims of abuse by their customers and still support any form of prostitution. Pimps and johns are the criminals, and the prostitutes (men or women) are the victims, and legal prostitution institutionalizes abuse, rape, and violence against men and women alike.

Tesla is currently two years away from releasing an economy model of the Tesla, and even the ones available now are competitively priced for the long-term benefits they provide.

Charging stations are due to become very common, and Tesla claims that they'll have chargers that are capable of charging the battery in two minutes. We used to think that battery life was the roadblock, but if electricity is readily available throughout the country, it no longer becomes such an issue. The cost of electricity is about a tenth of the price for gasoline, joule for joule, and there are increasingly more ways to harness electricity without burning fossil fuels. Electric cars have also proven to be significantly safer than gasoline-powered cars because there's no longer a huge engine directly in front of the driver seat to be slammed backwards during a collision.

So it might be an exaggeration, but I really do think that in 30-40 years we'll see gas-powered cars on the same level of novelty as rotary phones and blatant sexism in the workplace (the good ol' days).

Yeah, because if a series doesn't stick to its stale, dated genre then it's shit.

Did you even play the first two Fallout games?  They're great.

Yeah, they are. So is Republic Commando, but any game made in the same style (without the easy-sell LucasArts logo) would be crucified for being bland and lacking innovation.

It's about as easy to transmit ebola as it is to transmit HIV.

You understand how astoundingly, horrendously, downright dangerously wrong that is, right?

When you remove it from the context, yes. I was referring to the point in the OP about being able to infect passengers just by sneezing on a plane.

On the other hand, politicians on both sides are forced into extremism by the pressure from the media to show a constant "us vs. them" mentality. The idea that one side is always wrong and the other is always right, believed by both sides, is very detrimental to the democratic process.

IIRC we already had a thread on this and it was confirmed by another user on here that this isn't the real Revan. It's a pretender or some shit.

What the fu­ck.

Here's a list of some other doctrinal conflicts:

-The Book of Mormon's supremacy to the Bible
-Satan and Jesus are "spirit brothers"
-God used to be a man
-You may become a god in the afterlife
-God is married to another goddess and literally procreates with her to make spirit children
-The Trinity is three distinct beings, rather than a trinity of one.
-Denial of the virgin birth, a critical fulfillment of prophecy heralding Jesus as the Messiah
-Without Joseph Smith there is no salvation, and no salvation outside of the LDS church
-Lack of believe in salvation by grace alone
-Lack of believe in the adequacy of Jesus in the act of salvation
-No salvation without accepting Joseph Smith as a prophet
-Acts are greater than grace in salvation

But about half of those are correct, the others are off.

I've got citations for all of 'em.

Who has been denied public office because of those defunct laws?

I'm sure a lot of people not reported about. There was a black woman who got recorded during a phone call saying she wouldn't hire any white people, and I'm sure the reverse has happened plenty of times as well.

Okay, that sucks, but it doesn't have anything to do with people being denied from running for office because they're atheists.
