You know that Blue-ribbon committee that will propose solutions for taxes to Obama AFTER the election? There's a rumor, unsubstantiated of course, that they will propose a 22% reduction in Social Security. Really?
I got them all false on purpose.Harmor wrote:

The first one is hilarious. I can only assume they're counting shale oil in that... in which case my answer is "Yes... and?"

I'm aware of both points, but I just found it funny - their argument is basically, "you thought we're running out of oil, but all of a sudden we've found out we have twice as much as before!"JohnG@lt wrote:

An engineer I knew at Ford was convinced oil was produced underground in a never-ending magical process, the supply was unlimited, in fact the faster we used it the faster it would be replaced.
He couldn't explain why Texas was empty though.

It's not empty. There are working derricks dotting the landscape all over northern and western Texas.Dilbert_X wrote:

It's not empty though, just less productive than other areas. Was that engineer an idiot? Yes. Your example just wasn't entirely accurateDilbert_X wrote:

I was talking to some nuclear propulsion officers some time back and one of them knew this guy on their ship that thought that the steam used for the aircraft carrier steam catapult was loaded onto the ships in barrels. Barrels of steam. wtf? Dilbert's story reminded me, lolJohnG@lt wrote:

Has anyone been following the Ecuador riots? Its pretty exciting stuff,, the president was held captive by the rioting police force but the Army remained loyal and the two have been clashing for some days now. Shots fired and tear gas is flying.
I'd make a thread but it'd surely die, what with not being about Obama/Muslims/Illegal immigration/etc...

thought it was a bit wierd that the rioters were rioting in SUPPORT of the president
that's somewhat uncommon

So what's up with all this talk of this proposition 19 in Californae trying to legalise and regulate weed
Then I read today that Arnie has signed a law decriminalising weed so you only get a fine and no court/arrest and all that. Not bad California, not bad.
