• These Photos Of a Giant Marlin Sinking a Fishing Boat Are Supposedly Real

  January 31, 2013 at 6:26pm

  In reply to Slowman101.

  the results of JPEGSnoop in this case are meaningless… it will return that answer if you did nothing more than crop the photo and even in some cases the simple act of uploading it will cause it to come back with that answer.

  I have over 5000 images on my drive that will return that answer, not because they are fake but because I shoot in RAW and by that fact alone must process them in a photo development program such as Lightroom.

  The photos are not fake, but the marlin did not sink the ship, the Captain screwed up!

• Poll: Republican Party Is The Most Disliked Political Institution in America

  December 13, 2012 at 6:56pm

  In reply to benahan davids.

  well, they wont get my vote (again, 3 elections running) until they tack right towards true fiscal responsibility, smaller government, and freedom… actively move to strike down the patriot act as well as NDAA, CISPA, etc… I vote principal, not party.

• Remember Those UFOs Captured on Video in Denver? News Station Rules Out One Possibility

  In reply to wordsofwisdom.

  Searcher, that is not likely at all. Any civilization advanced enough to get here would have the means to harvest resources from the depths of space in volumes many order of magnitude larger than the whole of the earth. Asteroids, dust clouds, comets, uninhabitable worlds, etc… There would be no need for the paltry resources on this puny backwater world. If they were here it would likely be for curiosities sake alone.

  Even our species with its limited technology is already investigating the mining of the asteroid belt which we know would provide resources far more vast in scale than anything we have already found here on earth.

  Not to say there might not be a hostile species out there, but it wont be over our resources.

• Mean or Funny? Prank Features Screens Placed in Elevator Making It Look Like the Floor Is Falling Out

  October 23, 2012 at 1:55pm

  Unfortunately the prank is fake, done with actors and a green screen and not the real screens being advertized. If you don’t believe me, just watch one of the analysis videos on you tube.

  And here I officially cut all ties I may have had with the Republicans and the RNC, the fix is in, those in power are determined to stay in power at all costs, The Republic and its citizens be damned. They are not conservatives, they are not Libertarian (in principals not party), I am done with these clowns

• Will Marijuana Legislation Impact Obama’s Re-Election?

  In reply to ALL-IN.

  ECTECH I respectfully disagree, we have seen what happened after the first prohibition, the cost of alcohol was through the roof and organized crime was making a fortune. Now with the second prohibition we see the same thing. There is no evidence to support that the results will not be similar when we end the current prohibition. I can say that in California most of the Cannabis sold in dispensaries is grown here in CA plus those with a green thumb and a license grow their own and do not go to dispensaries.

  There is evidence that smoking Cannabis is not nearly as bad for you as smoking tobacco. Those who are studied who only smoke cannabis do not have any significantly decreased lung function or increased rates of cancer compared to the general population of non-smokers. However more study needs to be done before any real conclusions are made.

  At this time I think it is safe to say that we will have to agree to disagree and I thank you for a courteous discussion.

  ECTECH, I am not talking about health issues from smoking it, never mind that the damage from Cannabis smoke has never been proven or even strongly inferred and all cases of serious damage to the lungs are in the lungs of tobacco smokers. But since it is so important to you take the smoking it part out of the equation, use a vaporizer, or bake it into edibles; smoking it is only one method.

  The government should have no say in what citizens do in the privacy of their own home or property unless it infringes on the liberty and rights of others. Time to shrink the size, scope and power of government and this is as good a place to start as any when working on the power part… I would address your other points but others are doing a stand up job on that front.

  ECTECH, All of the current medical evidence and the research that was briefly allowed in the 70′s points to Cannabis being safe. President Nixon’s own blue ribbon panel, the Shafer Commission in 1973 recommended decriminalization of Cannabis however Nixon was intent on pushing a tough on crime agenda and basically threw the recommendations of the commission in the trash. I know people from all walks of life who smoke from time to time and lead full, active successful lives. Doctors, Lawyers, Scientists and professionals in all areas from finance and business to public safety smoke.

  What you and others of your ilk seem to do is assume that if someone is going to smoke Cannabis that they are going to do it all day long every day of the week… that’s like saying since alcohol is legal that people who may drink it will drink all day long every day of the week… we have a name for that, it is called alcoholism. Clearly we have a functioning society and I do not think the body of our population are teetotalers.

  As a small anecdote, my uncle was prescribed Cannabis by his oncologist as a last ditch effort to fight a brain tumor after all the big pharma chemicals did not work. Some initial research has shown Cannabis to promote the growth of healthy brain cells and ****** the growth of cancer. With a 6 week life expectancy they decided to give it a shot. He survived 9 months before the cancer finally won.

  actually Screw, most people who smoke pot are generally the ones off doing there own thing not following anybody around and certainly not being sheeple, unlike so many of those oh so clear thinking people on here with their brainwashed “reefer madness” responses to Cannabis use.

  Like so many on The Blaze you speak of things you clearly have no knowledge. Now with that being said, people are what they are and if they are inclined to be sheeple they will be sheeple whether they are stoned or not. The use of Cannabis is not a factor in that equation.
