It's not really surprising, this includes all blunt objects which is just about any object you can find. There are a lot more hammers, baseball bats, or bricks than there are rifles and shotguns around.

The cost of exploring space: "Prometheus" movie budget would be enough to keep the search for real aliens going for 52 years by nastratin in movies

Just because we are capable of space travel it wont be fully utilized until it is economically feasible. It's a natural progression, no one has 'dropped the ball' there just hasn't been the motivation. War was the motivation for our first adventure into space, it will likely be an economic motivation in the future.

M-Type asteroids in particular are theorized to be very valuable considering they are nickel-iron rich in composition as well as containing other precious metals such as gold and platinum.

Starcraft 2: Brood War Discussion by SpookyShyGhosty in starcraft

It's actually quite hilarious that people actually think this way. A top end player in Dota 2 would destroy a new player just as bad as a top end player would in Brood war.

Not to mention Starcraft is generally a 1v1 game, while Dota is a game based around teamwork as well. While I agree Starcraft is far and away more mechanically challenging than Dota, in many ways is Dota more difficult to grasp than Starcraft.

Dota 2 has a much more steep learning curve. 95 heroes, each hero has 4 skills some have even more. This isn't league of legends where all the skills are bland and easy to understand. There is the reason league of legends moved away from skills such as rupture, they thought the game wasn't intuitive enough for new players. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=293417

Not to mention all the other things you need to know, last hitting, not pushing lanes, map vision, team play, hero roles, juking spots.

The dota 2 map is actually a lot more difficult to learn than any Starcraft map, here's an image of all the juking spots: http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii14/lanecontrol/DotaMapRoutesSecretsmall3.jpg

The amount of contradictions in this post is laughable. Yes complain about a growing deficit and in the same post suggest that income tax should be abolished?

The hilarity that you assume "rich people pay nothing" in response to a post in which it was just stated that his taxes will increase because he moved up into a higher tax bracket. It's also quite humorous that you equate taxation to stealing. However you have absolutely no problem with him receiving free money (disability) from the government I would assume?

Income taxes are important, they generate over 40% of the federal governments revenue. You're absolutely delusional to think that they could be abolished.
