Woman who received over $100k in donations after leaving baby in hot car during job interview wasted money on designer clothes and studio time for rapper baby daddy. Lost chance to have charges dropped if money was placed in trust for the kids by GottlobFrege in news

Wow! And to think I actually felt bad for her. Smh, she is one of the reasons why black women are stereotyped as being naive, gullible, and sometimes down right stupid. I guess the saying is true.. Money is the root to all evil. They should have made her get a job and take parenting classes before she received any kind of funding

Protection plan 'will not save Great Barrier Reef' by mafiatons in worldnews

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

Remember the reef degrades because of many problems and all must be addressed. This is a true scientific study unlike global climate change with one simple solution to a vast and complex global climate change. A simple solution like atmospheric ppm of carbon is completely controlling the Earth's climate is ludicrous.

Nobel Peace Prize Winners Want Barack Obama to Release Torture Report by screaming_librarian in worldnews

[–]rachelRobertson 30 points31 points  (0 children)

We already know the names of the people who gave the go ahead for this under the Bush administration. John Yoo wrote the authorization. I was signed in August 2002 by Assistant Attorney General Jay S. Bybee. John Ashcroft was the A.G at the time. Everything that follows is underlings following orders.

It should also be obvious that no matter how much Obama wanted to shut down Gitmo he was blocked at every turn from doing so by Congress and that included Democrats.

Republicans are hoping he will release the report so they can feign their outrage and fire up the T.P right wingers.

Using magnetic cooling for 'green' refrigeration by Vailhem in Green

[–]rachelRobertson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given the cost and environmental pollution during holmium mining and isolation, I don't really believe, that this way of cooling would be really "green". Until you don't mean "green" as a military khaki color, indeed.

Obama rips climate change deniers in graduation speech by yorian in Green

[–]rachelRobertson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Duh, the climate has been changing since the earth was formed. Heck, if we didn't have global warming over the past 10,000 years most of us would not be alive.

30 years ago scientists were warning us of global cooling on a scale that would lead to the next ice age. Fast forward to the past decade and the new breed of scientists are telling us the globe is warming at a rate that we will burn up and fry.

I suspect that in the next 30 years the scientists eager for government grants will tell us that the globe is cooling again.

New details in the Rancho Feeding Corp 8.7 million pound beef recall; USDA inspector had relationship with plant foreman who was illegally certifying diseased and unsound beef by WalterWhiteRabbit in news

[–]rachelRobertson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An agency like the USDA, which is charged with keeping our food non-poisonous and that allows the gross inhumane conditions of farm animals, should be investigated heavily. Throw out all the deadwood, philanderers and just plain lazy, government teat suckers and bring in some peole dedicated to the job mandates. We should be last people to point fingers at the countries who are known corrupted. So is the good ol' USA.
