• Commented on Courage (and training) defined.
  Can anyone explain why the first armed person to the scene (on an army base) was a civilian police officer? Why not MPs? p.s. what's wrong with the word heroine?...

• Commented on Do chimps grieve?
  If that picture is the only evidence for grieving then it's fairly easily dismissed. (I realise that it probably isn't the only evidence at all.) A chimpanzee is being taken away by non chimpanzee creatures on a wheelbarrow, the observer...
• Commented on Man with transplanted hands heads home
  However, vis the health-care debate, the man does not appear to be at all wealthy (he worked as a manager in a Borders bookstore), and likely had the service performed pro-bono. I have to wonder, were the man in fact...
• Commented on Man with transplanted hands heads home
  #9 Interesting. This man's finerprints (presumably) have now changed. There must be myriad situations where that does not compute...
• Commented on Man with transplanted hands heads home
  #7 I wouldn't be surprised if costs were lowered due to it being experimental work. Any doctors/experts able to comment? (Please hurry up and remove the false reference to England, this story is being mined by insurance shills.)...

• Commented on Man with transplanted hands heads home
  I think this story has nothing at all to do with England (as in the United Kingdom) This seems to be from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA. (I actually looked cos I was waiting for anti healthcare reform people to leap on...
• Commented on HOWTO flout the flavored tobacco ban and make DIY homemade clove cigarettes
  #63 Salright, it was informative for me too;-). And you may have a point about skiing being safe for experienced practitioners. (I admit to not knowing, but I am sceptical that it wouldn't be a bit more dangerous than the...
• Commented on HOWTO flout the flavored tobacco ban and make DIY homemade clove cigarettes
  #57is only going to make this type of nanny-state idiocy much more common. I believe that flavoured tobacco is not illegal in britain, and we have dirty socialist inefficient free healthcare here. Smokers get treatment, too. (I suspect that both...

• Commented on HOWTO flout the flavored tobacco ban and make DIY homemade clove cigarettes
  Jphilby ...and the skiers... I believe that skiers will pay an extra premium for their insurance, whereas in certain parts of the United states of tobacco peddlers it is illegal for insurers to ask if you use tobacco. (NY state?...

• Commented on HOWTO flout the flavored tobacco ban and make DIY homemade clove cigarettes
  Maybe I should support early years smoking, if only smokers died of cancer before they reproduced. ;-) Unfortunately anonymous coward #39 your argument is the argument for legalising marjuana, cocaine, heroin etc. etc. We only need to prevent heroin users...
• Commented on HOWTO flout the flavored tobacco ban and make DIY homemade clove cigarettes
  It's like some of you believe that the addictive quality of cigarettes is so powerful that once hooked you'll never be free...it's called willpower, and or determination. I suspect you weren't raised by a smoker mother (smoked during both her...
• Commented on HOWTO flout the flavored tobacco ban and make DIY homemade clove cigarettes
  freedom is the ability to make bad decisions I enojoy a wide variety of freedoms, and include in that freedom from drug peddlers targeting children. I do realise that what this legislation represents is as many limits against nicotine pushers...
• Commented on HOWTO flout the flavored tobacco ban and make DIY homemade clove cigarettes
  TLS1) There were already laws against selling cigarettes to minors (and in some states, against minors possessing cigarettes). Why do we need new ones? Because we can be aware that not all laws will be enforced. Some will in fact...
• Commented on HOWTO flout the flavored tobacco ban and make DIY homemade clove cigarettes
  Smokers deserve every single quantum of their increased risks from cancer and everything else. Nothing fills me more with rage than the idiotic teenager smokers who are convinced of their coolness and the non smokers fggtry. There is a special...

  dhalgrenI hate the "Assault" method of stores that when you walk in immediately someone is up your ass. That's why walking into a shop with your headphones still on is a very useful thing to do. No-one asks you anything...

• Commented on Augmented iPhone app shows you crappy fast food joints
  Aldasin, Quite right. Unless this app will only show you directions to fast food chains this is unnecessarily snooty. As for why people eat in chains: they might be in an unfamiliar place and want a place where they know...
• Commented on Report: Mercury found in every single fish tested in study of US rivers, streams
  I think as an example of how wrong our priorities are, you can't beat this: How much more mainstream press attention will the cocaine on banknotes story from a few days ago receieve than this one about people's involuntary consumption...
• Commented on Barney Frank pwns crazy lady at "town hall" meeting, effectively invoking Godwin's law.
  It seems a lot of people here have assumed the "Nazi Plan" woman is a right wing fear monger. If what I have read is true, this is not the case: http://www.larouchepac.com/node/11111 and watch the whole video at the link...
• Commented on Barney Frank pwns crazy lady at "town hall" meeting, effectively invoking Godwin's law.
  thankyou Boba Fett Diop for a most informative link! As a European who (more than?)occasionally succumbs to anti-USian prejudice I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonableness of much of the discussion in the complete video. (In case you missed it...
• Commented on Anti-health-care loon says Stephen Hawking wouldn't stand a chance under British health care system
  Difficult to m say this without sounding very anti American: It seems that no matter who the US public elects their government will not be allowed to change health care. Too much profit in private healthcare. Your government was designed...
