  Statements like this shouldn't be made without factual backup. If you want to persuade people: 1. don't post flamebaits - this will make people NOT want to believe what you say. 2. Evidence! 3. get your readers' attention - don't just jump into radical-sounding statements.

Thanks.

I submitted an "Ask Slashdot" a few weeks ago. If it had been accepted, we'd all be looking at hot chicks now. Damn editors.

Whose freedom? The Blacks, too? If I remember my history classes correctly there was this thing about the British banning slavery a couple years before the Americans. yep, those kids fought for freedom, but not everyone's freedom.

We've had those smart cards in use in Finland for many years now. Most are city-specific, so you can't use them outside that particular city they are for.
The uses for those smartcards are in electrical identification, so you don't need usernames and passwords, only a card and a pin number (and a cardreader), and mass transportation. You can also pay your purchases in some shops with those cards.

I GUARANTEE you the neighborhood children beat up that kid the second he gets out of that thing. Hell, I knew kids who got jacked for their Power Wheels jeeps, and this is fifty times cooler. PS - Sarin doesn't have any smell, or color. All the better to terrorize the Japanese subway system.

Re:Americans DO like war by ELCarlsson · 2003-03-15 10:08 · Score: 2, Offtopic

This reminds me of a great quote "we like war. we're a warlike people. we like war because we're good at it. you know why we're good at it? cause we get a lot of practice. this country is only 200 years old and already we've had 10 major wars. we average a major war every 20 years in this country, so we're good at it. and it's a good thing we are, we're not good at anything else anymore. can't build a decent car, cant make a tv set or a vcr worth a f*ck, got no steel industry left can't educate our young people, cant get health care for our old people, but we bomb the sh*t out of your country alright... especially if your country is full of brown people... oh we like that don't we, thats our hobby... thats our new job in the world... bombing brown people... can you remember the last white people... can you remember ANY white people we've ever bombed? the germans, they're the only ones... and thats because they were trying to cut in on our action... they wanted to take over the world... bullsh*t... thats our job!" -George Carlin
