Yeah, but it's messing up my plan to vote 5 on the same crap entry every day for years until it's one of the highest rated ever.
Once it started to get close it would eventually just stop anyways.
Don't be so sure, I've already taken it from 1.07 to 4.03, it only took two years.
For the last few days whenever I've tried to vote on four specific submissions it says I've already voted that day (I haven't) but every other submission lets me vote just fine.

You should read Flatland, It's by something A. Abbot. It is almost required reading for understanding hypergeometry.
We had to read flatland in geometry class in my high school, it's not bad, and it's a quick read.
The age of nuclear weapons is over, they'll be phased out soon enough by the first world. It's simpler now to just make Mass Ordinance Air Blast (MOAB) class bombs, which can rival the explosive force of nuclear weapons, without any of the fallout (nuclear or political).

You must have been the bright one in the family, huh? tell me, did you ride the LONG yellow bus to school or the SHORT one?
You speak with a lot of bravado for a guy who thought there were a law against talking in elevators, and no law against murder.

oh so stoning your son is better and more tolerable then going on a holy crusaid. and the other part you dont get it the bible does just not srait up god comanded the jews to kill the naboring nations because they did not beleive in the same god. so i dont see much difference between the Quran and the bible or more specificly the old testament.
You have no idea what you're talking about, it's obvious you've never read a bible, a koran, or an elementary school english textbook.

There's a law in NYC, where if you are in a elevator you have to look straight towards the door and you can't start conversations.
Why don't NY make a law making it illegal for people killing each other out of random acts of violence.
There's no law about elevators like that in NYC...you're a moron.
..and murder ("people killing each other") is illegal in every state, by the way.
Perhaps, but the bible never says to make holy war on gentiles or non-christians, whereas the koran dictates the world being converted to islam, by force.

The Bible is mis-represented by the KKK, etc. and Bin Laden mis-reads the Koran. No difference, really.
No, bin laden is taking exactly what the koran says. It's very clearly a violent scripture. Just because not all muslims are violent, it doesn't change what's actually in the koran...but the koran encourages and promotes violence and war, the bible does not.
Those quotes mention acts of violence which may or may not have happened to illustrate biblical content...the koran quotes are actually encouraging new and ongoing violence.

Who says the Earth is overpopulated?
more than one third of the population is in two countries, China and India. Everywhere else there is an abundance of space.
In places where there is food shortages, the cause is not the lack of food but but government corruption and war.
You're exactly right in a lot of ways. Everyone wants to assume overpopulation is an imminent threat..it really boggles the scientific community as to why.

I already gave you those in an earlier reply, you really need to pay more attention. I've read the koran, I lknow what it says...you merely assume it's open to debate and vague...there's nothing vague about it.
The man has fought terrorism his entire life, now he's burned out. Like many Israelis, he probably doesn't want to fight anymore...which is fine, but he should resign his position.

the current approval rating is actually below 50%, aka the majority doesn't want him anymore.
Where did you hear that, the voice in your head? Made up poll results don't count, show me some proof, especially since they just had a 67% approval rating listed on CNN.
