  3. 1st post and evil AOL by oktokie · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wow~! 1st post!!!

    AOL is evil as ever. Who needs their expensive per xkbps download stream compared to high speed dsl or cable!!??

    Not to mention that it's very very very hard to cancel AOL account.

    Cancel it and call them next day, and call next day to check on them...99% of time your account is still well and alive!

    What does one need to squash AOL account to death effectively? If you had any bad experiences in cancelling AOL account, please post here!!! :P

  4. The Racial Target by Rie+Beam · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I live in South Carolina, and one of the spectacles that I have to deal with every year is that of the NAACP protesting at the state border. What they protest about anymore, not many people are really sure of, since the flag they were protesting is down and out anymore. Anyway, my point is this - why has no one complained yet about having companies take advantage of this "low income, minority" range? I mean, I don't mean targeting certain groups is bad (although it does continue on annoying stereotypes and such), but I just have this funny feeling like this is going to turn out to be utter bullshit, and will end up making a lot of people look like a lot of fools. Well, at least that's my two cents.

    I'm really gassy today. I think it's starting to piss off the guys in the neighboring cubes. I drank a twelver of Beast Ice last night and had WaWa for breakfast.

    What I do want to understand is: why there isn't a single non-rich OR non-white OR non-christian running for prez in the US of A? why both Dem and Rep always indicate them? Why don't you for the love of $DEITY start voting ONLY in non-Democrats-non-Republicans for every single instance?
