Two brothers modified their Toyota Prius to reach 100 MPG. Are you mad that automakers are not making cars with 100 mpg?
48 49

Answered: YES --- If 2 guys who are not professional auto engineers can modify a car to get over 100mpg, why aren't the car makers giving us 150mpg cars or at least with equal performance?

Answer Comment:
The Prius modifications have been known for a long time. This is not news. American car makers deserve every bit of misery the marketplace is inflicting upon them. They are capable of making fuel efficient cars, but choose not to do so. The Republicans also deserve a lot of blame in this regard. Instead of giving tax breaks to automakers in order to finance the development of fuel efficient cars, the Republicans pour money into ethanol produced from corn. This increased oil consumption by providing a disincentive for efficient cars, and it interrupted food supplies by driving up prices for corn. Ultimately, the problem boils down to incompetent businessmen and corrupt politicians.

Obama's Former Pastor Speaks Out. Do you think Wright's critics have been fair?
305 810

Answered: NO ----- Get off his back.

Answer Comment:
His comments were taken out of context. He was saying that if America is going to behave as immorally as it has been, then America should be damned. You have the white evangelists saying that Katrina was just punishment for New Orleans (a very black city), and no one cares. This is the perfect manifestation of how corrupt and "conservative" and racist our media have become.

Should Planned Parenthood accept donations specifically for abortions of black babies?
114 178

Answered: Undecided

Answer Comment:
The choices are both terrible. There is no logical choice between the choice presented and the consequence. Planned Parenthood probably should accept these donations. With greater reproductive freedoms, blacks and Latinos will probably have children who will be as successful as white children. So, why not?

The UCLA solution is perhaps the perfect solution. You are given one chance to fail, and your internet privileges hang in the balance. If you still screw up after one fair warning, they report you. It's as fair as it gets. We don't need the morons in Congress passing additional useless laws. Existing laws address the issue adequately. http://www.resnet.ucla.edu/dm...

Are Mac users more self-centered and needy than Windows users?
63 73

Answered: Undecided

Answer Comment:
Alright, I took the bait. I'm a pretty computer savvy guy. I dumped Windoze for Mac after experiencing OS X for a week. I dumped Micro$soft because, yes, my Mac just works! I no longer maintain my computer, I don't worry about viruses, when I set up a web server, it works exactly as promised. When I use Apple software, it works exactly as promised. FWIW, those personality traits that the study found correlate better with wealth than with Mac use, and we Mac users tend to be wealthier than the average Windoze user.

Could this be the cure for drug addiction?
96 79

Answered: Yes. No high = No addiction.

Answer Comment:
It remains to be seen whether this treatment will overwhelm the psychological factors that drive people to do drugs in the first place. Other questions that loom large have to do with the drug industry's response to these vaccines (maybe they will sell new drugs) and the government's response. Don't forget that the war on drugs is a very popular (though utterly ineffective) government program. Will the feds want to give up all this power? Will the cocaine cartel start blowing up addiction vaccination clinics? This could get interesting. :)

Answered: Economy & Jobs

Answer Comment:
Nearly all of these issues are critical. We need to get out of Iraq, and government needs to focus on the process of governance. The fiscal stimulus package being advocated by the President is the ultimate proof that his--and the government's--economic policies have failed catastrophically.
