E-mail Is For Old People
Strolls writes "Although the article itself doesn't seem quite as exciting or newsworthy, this headline from Reuters amused me mightily. Reuters' summary is here and here's the original survey by Pew Internet and American Life Project." From the article: "Internet users from 12 to 17 years old say e-mail is best for talking to parents or institutions, but they are more likely to fire up IM when talking with each other, the nonprofit Pew Internet and American Life Project found. E-mail is still used by 90 percent of online teens. But the survey found greater enthusiasm for instant messaging."
I believe that most people think that the US has failed in iraq
Most people are idiots, and think that we went into Iraq because of 9/11.
Contrary to popular believe, the war in Iraq was a complete and total success.
1) It was/is a war, so all of the defense people get their money. 180+ billion of our tax dollars were spent. I know of no other way to spontaneously spend that much money unless everybody thinks its OK so "we wont get attacked".
2) Iraq will not switch their base oil trade currency from the dollar to the euro. So inflation is check for a while so long as our dollars are spread far and wide.
