If you're slinging semen, step up if it actually hits something.
Hm. I've been in the market for a new tag.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Don't get me wrong; I looooove pockets in skirts. Just not formal dresses/skirts. Because....they're *formal.*
that's what decolatage is for, isn't it?
Things are much more complex than that, Gud. Most of the science funding my group gets is from the military. The military funds some great science.
And lots of highways too. It would be nice to fund those directly but we can always seem to justify it in the name of national security. If we could fund education adequately in the name of national security that would be keen -- but we're too busy being anti-science (stem-cell research, global warming, sex education, alternate fuels, evolution, AND NOW FUCKING VACCINES ) and then whining "why are we falling behiiiiiiind" to even attempt that shit. Agh. t /rantypants
Of course, we can afford to fund studies that prove conclusively that spring break leads to drunken hook-ups...

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Doesn't it depend on what the bullets are being shot into? And for what reason?
Well, I understand that bananas don't fly 1 kilometer with any kind of accuracy (although it would be awesome if they did!), but, a banana-sized bullet is kind of the textbook definition of overkill, don't you think?
Unless there is such a thing as brachiosaur hunting, that I don't know about.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, not if you're not killing things.

Agreed. But that's not how it is. It's something we have to work toward, and right now, in a country where ID is being debated, I'll take the funding hidden under cover of night until senses are come to.
My country is messy. It's like a sea of diarrhea coating everything, and it's going to take a long time to air it all out. Decades, maybe, before the pendulum swings back.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Heh, don't you think I should have the right to defend my home and family from attackers? Shouldn't I be able to use whatever weaponry I need to protect the lives of my loved ones, including heavy machine-guns, flamethrowers and nuclear weapons?

We've solved this by owning rottweillers.

Then what will I use to defend myself against the rottweillers?

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Shouldn't the rottweillers be nuclear capable? You know, just in case.

To defend themselves against the sharks with friggin' laser beams on their heads?
Have we all heard about the government research into controlling sharks, turning them into weapons? This is cool, as it resulted in the coolest blog title ever: Shark and Awe.
