America is more than ready, considering how much we spend on the military. This article is a few years old, and definitely sensationalist, but is still an interesting read-

And on top of that, the US Army just started deploying robotic troop carriers, and is finishing up remote combat vehicles for the front lines so that first contact isn't with soldiers. Yes, we're going to have killer robots on the front line. And soon.

It's like they all watched House of Cards and were like, "Waiiiit a minute.... We could do that!"

Oh stop pulling an OP. Unnaturally high levels of CO2 can be dangerous after long term exposure - hours in an industrial environment that already has a bunch of other crap in the air. Carbon Monoxide from your home furnace at high levels knocks you out and kills you in 30 minutes. Still not the same.

The animated films had a segment of when Sam had the ring and was going to rescue Frodo, and it tempted him that he could use its power to set the world right. I kind of wish Peter Jackson would've done something similar.

"Carbon Monoxide is deadly, you can't tell me Carbon Dioxide is any different!"

Just because things have a similar name doesn't mean they're the same thing...

Because it exposes that someone who is making a living capitalizing off of extremist views that spread mass harm to the populace is a hypocrite that made sure to protect herself while telling everyone else that protection is a hoax, or at the least untrustworthy and harmful. Calling these people on their bullshit is a good thing to do. It's not the same thing as "OMG did you hear Taylor Swift broke up with her 35th boyfriend?!", it actually has real world consequences.

"Come on in and spend $15 on a soda" isn't exactly picking up the tab...
