Ah the beauty of YouTube, anyone can throw anything on it and claim it as fact. Apparently, this woman has never seen footage of a nuclear detonation. She also seems convinced that the towers were solid structures and there should have been more debris. She should have watched the show on the History Channel that addressed all the conspiracy theories point for point. Hope she leaves this off her resume, otherwise her next job might be an Occupy Wall Street position.

Brad , I believe you could have kept the "Impulse" moniker in the deal with GS (just in case). They seem hell bent on trying to erase every aspect of it over there. With GS's poor reputation with the PC gaming community, I believe they are making a big mistake. It probably won't be long until they are offering console games. The increasing number of "Steam" offerings on Impulse is definitely raising some eyebrows. I did save the Impulse Icon to replace the ugly GS one. But, I gue

One persons perversion seems to be another's normal. I will never be convinced it is nothing more than a personal choice at least or an abnormality at most. I may feel different when the first anally conceived child or orally inseminated (no spitting) woman makes the front page. Yeah, yeah I know it happens in nature and all, so does small pox, palsy, downs syndrome, and on and on. That doesn't make it a normal human condition. These folks don't bother me, just don't expe

How about reducing the "lottery" like windfall settlements that medical lawsuits provide for the patient (and there lawyers, who strangely enough overwhelmingly support Democrats). Doctors don't need a subsidy, they make a good living, but they shouldn't (nor the taxpayer) be saddled with those outrageous malpractice insurance payments. Too much is wasted on unnecessary tests from fearful doctors. 35 hour work week... sounds great until you need your car fixed on the wee

This little, yes admittedly simplified, example pretty much sums up how taxes in the US works: "Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would

Funny of all the times I went to NY as a tourist, I never went up the WTC. Always went to the top of the Empire State Building. That opportunity has passed into history. I wonder how many will have that in the back of their mind when the new tower is completed? Wrong place at the wrong time.

The CBC got together and decided to make the Tea Party the "enemy". They are afraid of the taxes dollars which usually disproportionately goes to their constituents (to maintain the status quo vote, people to practically give their lives for the table crumbs) will dry up. They fail to tell these people that the Tea Party elected Allen West and Tim Scott. The CBC knows their base well and racism is a fan favorite that plays well there. It's much easier to blame someone/something else
