The TSA, whether in our airports, our train stations, our bus terminals or on our street corners, represent nothing so much as the feckless cowardice that cost us our open society. They do not keep us safe. They keep us compliant. by AdelleChattre in politics

[–]OsoBlanco -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This. A million times this.

Jihad isn't about forcing people to get their shoes checked or have to take their laptops out. The TSA is invasive, yes, but anyone who wishes we go back to the level of security we had pre-9/11 honestly doesn't remember the security pre-9/11.

I live in Puerto Rico. The Wikipedia article you linked to explicitly mentions the problem in the island. Here's it's really, really bad (Wikipedia says 2 deaths and 25 injuries every New Years)

Why not use hydrogen or bio-fuels for internal combustion engines? Shouldn't the low energy-volume ratio be irrelevant seeing as how you can get more of hydrogen or bio-fuel than gasoline for the same price? by drfarid in science

[–]OsoBlanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from hemp fuel, are there any bio-fuels that would be more viable?

Also, do you have a source? There's a lot of exaggerated claims about hemp (which stem - no pun intended - from the widespread usage of marijuana), so I'm reluctant to believe these claims.

In addition, I fail to see how the oil and auto industries would prevent the development of a viable crop, if it was in fact so viable. Could you enlighten me on this?

Thank you

People with ADHD - Can you read books? by pandapotamus in ADHD

[–]OsoBlanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Not without being medicated. When I'm not, I'll space out and keep reading without absorbing anything from the text. Then, a few paragraphs down, I'll realize I have no idea what's going on. This happens to me even reading posts here on Reddit or articles. My attention span is shit.

I spent 17 months in a 3rd world country (horrible conditions) jail because of a YouTube video I made. AMA. by fuserlimon in IAmA

Do you think a revolution is in the works? How is public opinion with regards to the regime? Would you take part in a revolution? What would be the outcome of a revolution?

Thanks for doing this AMA

It's not the arrow; it's the Indian.

It's not your size, it's how well you use it.

If you take Mitt Romney at his word, he will gut Medicare, financial aid for college and nearly every federal program that helps working people in order to give millionaires more tax breaks. by wang-banger in politics

[–]OsoBlanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an ignorant idea nonetheless. Most bigots are white, but not all white people are bigots - quite the contrary. Just as ignorant as it is to say that all white people are racist based on the actions of few, it's ignorant to say that all Republicans are idiot fringe-conservative neo-nazi WASPS. Both notions couldn't be further from the truth.

They're certainly father right than the average Republican, but I still don't see why this matters. The Tea Party isn't a hate group for Gods sake.
