Hmmm, and how do you know that the people who choose not to participate are republican?
According to the review above, the choices people make in choosing to answer exit polls has been considered. By serious statisticians. In my view, that overrules any "I did this job and I don't think republicans answer exit polls".
Maybe you want to find some serious evidence to back up your argument, rather than anecdotal stuff?
Sorry to be suspicious, but whenever I see people asking for charity saying 'don't give us equipment or services, give us money', I get suspicious regarding what the money is really going to be used for. Maybe it's just me.
Oh and, the inventor of Aluminum wants it spelled (and pronounced) Aluminum, that's why we do that. But we're not defensive, oh no.
Aluminium was invented now? I've heard of people inventing elements before, like the first discovery of 118. However, when accepted by the scientific community, the process is normally referred to as "discovered", since the element generally exists (or has existed at some point) long before the discoverer comes across it.
The Netherlands and the the UK (the other place I spent considerable time) are great places, but it's not home. Life in other countries is very inconvenient (yes, I know, an American comment) and the people are generally much more orderly and nicer in the US. This may seem like a shock to people in the US (and a shock to people outside the US too) but I truly believe that is how it is. Simple things like standing in a line to wait for services or having a quick meal do not exist here. I know that for some people that is a charm, but for me it's an annoyance.
I can't possibly comment on the Netherlands, but using queuing as an example of why the US is better when the UK is one of the two comparison countries? Come on, we Brits are queuers too.
Yeah, ok. So I'll second that, Iain banks is the best sci fi author alive. I was just trying not to put potential readers off by dissing their own favourite authors.

What is your reasoning for facing the Flamewar / Rampant Hostility of the Slashdot crowd to talk about IE7?
Yeah, ok. So I'll second that, Iain banks is the best sci fi author alive. I was just trying not to put potential readers off by dissing their own favourite authors.
Ok, so I know he isn't published in the USA, but Halo was at least partly inspired (http://marathon.bungie.org/Story/halo_culture.htm l) by an Iain M Banks book, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Consider-Phlebas-Iain-Bank s/dp/1857231384). I think this means that comparison's with films like DOOM is kind of unfair.
Btw, Iain M Banks is one of the best sci fi authors alive. If you don't believe me, read it. An awesome book.
