The US has doubled its national debt in one weekend
>> ^SaNdMaN:
Where exactly is he getting the 5 trillion number from?


Together, the two companies own or guarantee $5 trillion worth of mortgages.

The US has doubled its national debt in one weekend
Uh... the US national debt was/is already $9.5 trillion. As much as I agree with his point, his continual repeating of "doubling the debt by $5 trillion" does not make me trust his math.

Counter-Strike - You Got Owned By A Five Year Old
>> ^campionidelmondo:
What kind of argument is that: He knows it's not real. So I suppose you'd let him watch the Saw movies or Hostel, since he knows it's not real. Why do you suppose the game has an M rating? Do you even know what that means?



I think Saw and Hostel are something of a different class from Counterstrike. They are intentionally designed to disturb people. I don't think that CS is likely to give the kid nightmares...

Unless your argument is that you think watching Saw will actually make the kid go out and reenact the things on his friends.

Watchmen Trailer
As someone utterly unfamiliar with the Watchmen, this trailer has convinced me (however unfairly) that it's not worth reading.

Haha, thanks. I wasn't really serious about wanting to change my vote; I was just being snarky. Still, that grammar is pretty painful.

Hi direpickle (love the name!) I think the you tube description is pretty poor, its not well written, I will take some time to write my own synopsis of the video - thanks for the feedback

Wow. I want to change my vote after reading the from-Youtube description. That made my head hurt--and I don't mean from the technical jargon.

Electromagnetic Pulse Attack Threat Raised in US Congress!
deathcow: The danger actually is real, as far fetched as it sounds. We actually did it to ourselves back in the 50s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_altitude_nuclear_explosion

Wikipedia has some details on the number of satellites one of the tests fried (or shortened the lives of), and the power station that were damaged, etc. etc.

Why Congress won't Impeach Bush and Cheney
>> ^srd:
On what legal grounds could the US gouvernment call off elections?


On the grounds of having the military and FBI and who's going to stop them?
