Re: The Earth is full

I remember my father telling me 20 years again when I was a kid that every animal has a habitat, and every habitat has a carrying capacity. The Earth is our habitat, and it has reached its carrying capacity. People talk about humans destroying the Earth, but that's not what is happening. We are destroying ourselves. One day, we will be gone and the Earth will re-balance itself. Until then, we're on a downhill slide.

Re: Romney wins Illinois primary, gears up for Louisiana

Now that Romney has definitively won, is the media going to stop with the ridiculous "but is Romney really the front-runner?" headlines. I've got news for pundits: he's got the most delegates, so yes, that makes him the front runner and unless Santorum miraculously wins California, it's going to remain that way!

It seems the people of Puerto Rico are smarter voters than those in Mississippi and Alabama combined.

Are you from Mississippi?

Just because he's a good father doesn't mean he'd be a good President. Vote with your brain, not your melting heart.

I wish there was a dislike button on here. Narrow minded people like you are a scourge on America. I do believe Jesus preached love and tolerance. Any Christian who can't do the same needs to re-read the Bible.

He didn't exactly get a knock-out win, these are proportional primaries which means Mitt Romney's delegate count continues to rise no matter how many married first cousins voted in Mississippi!

I say this in total honesty and without a hint of sarcasm: I can understand voting for Romney, Gingrich or even Ron Paul, but I do not understand how anyone could vote for Santorum. He is just so . . . not a normal person, and definitely not anyone I would want running my local 7-11, let alone my country. Religious zealousness aside, he's made millions as a lobbyist and is as much a Washington insider as any other politician and panders to the far right base the same as them all. There is nothing new there, he's just a more fervent version of Bush. And we all know how well those 8 years turned out for us.

I'm sorry, but you can't apply 1776 logic to the year 2012. Industrialization, globalization, scientific advancements, world trade, capitalism - none of these things existed during George Washington's life. He would have no frame of reference to deal with them. You should find another comparison.

I knew Republican voters in Missouri and Minnesota were cracked - I mean, they border Iowa and Minnesota has been electing Michele Bachmann to public office since 2001. But I had no idea there were so many fringe lunatics in Colorado. I've got news for these ninnies voting tonight: Every vote for Santorum brings Obama one step closer to a second term.

I find it disturbing that Farmer Wants a Wife even got a 2.1.

I've said it twice, I'll say it a third time: iTunes downloads mean almost nothing. They don't have advertising, they're not live, and they're not even close to a quarter of a million. Just because you type in caps doesn't make it more true.

Not only that, there HAVE been shows with bad ratings that do well on iTunes. Before NBC yanked all of its shows and affiliates from iTunes Battlestar Galactica -- a show with similar ratings to Gossip Girl -- was #1 on iTunes. Didn't mean didly squat on a donut.

Okay, I guess I was exaggerating. I watched three or four episodes when it was on after Grey's Anatomy, thought they were all boring, and then I stopped. I just couldn't get into it at all. But I am strange. I often can't get into shows other people seem to love. CSI/Law&Order/BostonLegal? Can't stand a one of them. But I love Bones. I don't know what that says about me.

I actually thought the show was consistently boring . . . no loss here!

Re: Tragedy Strikes the Derby — So Sad

There is already some discussion that she had not gotten a full work-up before the race and her ankles were already fractured and she was drugged so she wouldn't feel it--that's why it seemed so sudden when strain of the race snapped both her legs.

I honestly don't understand the sport. I grew up with two quarterhorses (different breed, I know, but same animal) and I can't imagine having put them through something like horse racing. We did a little bit of competition (the stock type did barrel racing), but they were older and it was not very often. And it did not involve whips or riding them to the death. Horseracing is the equivalent of dog fighting to me. They drug these horses to the gills with anti-inflammatories, steroids, Lasix . . . you name it, they are doped on it so that they can continue to compete. And as Chex said, these horses are basically "children" whose bodies can't handle it. No 3 year old horse's heart should need to give out, nor should their legs snap.

The racing destroys their bodies quickly - they race for about a year and then they either break something and die, are used for breeding, or sent to pasture until they are put down (that's why you see new horses in the Derby every year). They rarely live good adult lives or become someone's beloved animals.

This is why I hate horse racing--it's humans using horses for fun and gambling. If this horse wasn't racing, its ankles wouldn't have broken and it would still be alive.

Re: BSG - Whining About Battlestar Galactica In HD, Part II

That sucks. I've had Comcast HD and it is very hit-or-miss. All of their digital service is, actually. It never looked very good. I've got RCN now (which gives out one free digital box to each household) and their HD is great. The only thing is, in order to really feel the full effects you need to use an HDMI cable to connect to your tv. The regular composite connections sometimes don't reflect a change between regular digital and HD as well.
