WATER WARS: UN rejects access to water as basic human right — You have no right to live; you are a slave. “A hungry man is never free.” – Even truer for a thirsty man. They actually removed all references that recognized access to water as a human right from their resolution! Bottled water buyers have increased the potential profit so much that there are now likely corporate influences on global politics. The privatization of water has been one of the most important events to happen to us as a species in decades, is a much bigger deal than fighting over oil and energy, and is generally under-focused in the media. It’s only going to get worse. (tags: water rights UN)

LINKS: This Is Your Brain On God, and Comcast sucks.
Posted by Claire CJS under Articles, Biology, Corporations, Hardware, Internet, Media, News, Politics, Psychology, Religion, Science, Technology, Video[6] Comments
This Is Your Brain on God. Very interesting article about research into stimulating your brain to make you perceive God. Other research has already shown that our brain has been hardwired to have religious experiences from the start, so this is the next logical step. By the way, Comcast HDTV sucks. Just look at these screenshots. Comcast is a shitty company. Drop them now. Find alternative ISPs using http://www.broadbandreports.com.

SURVEY: Do you have Asperger’s Syndrome?
Posted by Claire CJS under Clio, People, Psychology, Science, Surveys[69] Comments
Read up on Asperger’s Syndrome at WikiPedia, if you don’t already know what it is. I just took a 171-question quiz. Apparently, I am average, although it is pretty clear that in every category (especially “Talent”), I leaned slightly in the Aspie direction. That is, for almost every section, my neurotypical score was lower than my Asperburger score. UPDATE: 20100201: The test now has a version 2, so I took it again. I will place my new results below the old results.
Your Aspie score: 100 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 96 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits
Version 2:
Your Aspie score: 106 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 107 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits.
Do you have Asperburger’s Syndrome? Take the survey HERE and find out.

Social Experiments at their finest! (Best Buy chaos!)

This is what happens with 50 people wear Best Buy-like uniforms and walk into a Best Buy semi-pretending to work there, but not actually doing any work.
Pictures were taken. Hidden cameras were used. Police were called.
This is absolutely wonderful!
And Best Buy deserves this too. They are arresting people for trying to purchase items at their internet-advertised prices and in one case for paying with $2 bills, even though they are legal tender.
Boycot Best Buy! They screwed me over on my warrantee, refusing to fix or replace my $400 cd player, but not before wasting over 12 hours of my time with me bringing it in for repairs that they later said were only cleanings (they never fixed the unit, not even once). I have since refused to buy any items from Best Buy. I listened to skippy music for over a year.
(And Mom & Dad, I still have no use for those Best Buy gift cards, does anyone want to buy them back from me?)

News Flash: Movies cause psychological dependence.
Posted by Claire CJS under Media, Movies, News, Psychology, Science, The War On Drugs, VideoLeave a Comment
You know.. Movie-watchers always come back for more movies. They must be psychologically depdent on them! Oh no, think of the children!
After some time, they buy more and more movies, and sometimes have to have a dealer supply them with a steady influx of movies (Mmmmm, Netflix). Advanced movie watchers even buy special paraphanilia such as projection TVs, so that they can “draw the movie deeper into their eyes” or “hear it louder”. This obviously causes additional harm to the movie-viewer, so movie-watching paraphanilia should be banned, even when it could be used for legal purposes like watching Fox News. In fact, we should test people to make sure they have not watched movies lately. If someone has a past record of watching movies, they should not be allowed into college in the future. In Thailand, they shoot you in the head with no hearing if you watch movies.
I feel sorry for anyone who has watched a movie just to have fun.
