You know, the term 'African-American' really annoys me, simply because it pretends you can decide someone's roots and nationality from thier skin color. Well, my roommate last semester was 'black', but he was not an 'African-American'...because he wasn't an American! Yet people kept calling him an African-American, even though he was just an African...a Kenyan to be exact.
Also, are there not people with dark skin who's ancestors haven't set foot in Africa for 2000 years?
I hate the term African-American, cause it's making two.assumptions about people, just cause they have dark skin...which the defination of racist.
A DoS attack is not a 'prank', anymore then scattering fourty-thousand nails on the interstate during rush hour is a prank. It's an attack. It's not funny at all. (Sure the nails sounds funny...until you hit the traffic.)
Now, admittedly, 'defacing' web sites can be a prank...but it has to be funny, not 'we own j00!'.
I don't think so. I've lived in Georgia all my life, and the only places I've ever heard 'cracker' refering to white person is when I happen to catch some random rap music. I have never heard anyone say it in reality. But, then again, I mainly live in North Georgia, which is hicksville, redneckville is South Georgia.
You were doing fine with the stupidness of 'semiautomatic pistol', which is some completely silly terminalogy, and the over reporting of '9 millimeter' and 'armor-piercing', both of which are nowhere near the worst type of guns you can have, just the scariest sounding. But then you got:
Accidental Shooting -- No such thing. You put your finger on the trigger, you pull it, the gun goes off. See also: "The gun just went off!" and "Shot himself in the head while cleaning the gun" -- better known as "Suicide, but we can't tell the insurance company that."
Car Accident -- No such thing. You drive the car into something, it hits it, you die. See also: "He fell asleep at the wheel!" and "The brakes failed." -- better known as "Suicide, but we can't tell the insurance company that."
Hey, get over yourself. Accidently shooting happen all the time. I've been accidently shot. (With a B-B gun, luckily.) And 'assault weapon' has a legal defination. You cannot call a shotgun an assault weapon, or a handgun. It has to be at least a semiautomatic (Not sure if they count, or it has to be a fully-automatic).
They are breaking the law, but instead of doing something, we're just giving them a slap on the wrist.
Huh? We are? How so? I don't see us doing anything at all!

Okay, how few links can you take to go from mpaa.org to any copy of the DeCSS code? And we already know about disney->go and typing in DeCSS.
No easy ones like that, no typing anything. Just straight, out-and-out clicking (Or hitting Enter for you Lynx fans). Oh, and it's legal to modify a site if you happen to find your own site somewhere along the way. But no typing along the way.

Density does want to be pretty. Density is naturally pretty, it's only our silly laws and corperations like U-Haul and Weight Watchers that make it ugly.
I don't think anyone should have the right to make any density ugly. Except your own personal density, maybe. But not density that could benefit the population at large by looking its best.
But this is a dumb argument. His notoriety is from how he was treated, not what he did. Should Rodney King be prohibited from speaking about what happened to him, despite the fact he was in fact breaking the law? If so, that means once you get arrested, the government can treat you however it wants, as long as they tacked 'fifteen years probabation' onto the end of the sentence.
Um...no. Farmers do not expect to lose money. They accept they might lose money...but if farming really cost more to put in they to take out, all the farmers would soon be completely bankrupt.
I once thought that Free Speech was a cornerstone of the American Society, I was wrong.
But when you think of all the stupid cases like the woman who baked her cat in her micro wave oven (wanting to dry it off) and won millions, you can't really...stop wishing that the 1st amendment didn't apply to urban legends, and we could lock people up for them? I feel that way sometimes too.
I'd like to see someone become a farmhand without a cell phone. Or delivery driver.
And I'd be amazed if most of the construction jobs on that list don't want you to have a cell phone, or be able to at least use on of the job. Certainly if you're a fore-hire one, trying to get into the business.
Oh, and I think some of the interesting jobs on that list are 'Envelope stuffer for direct mailer' , and 'newspaper delievery boy' and 'Child care'. First of all, exactly 23 people on the planet earn enough money to live on on the first two jobs, and he's a convicted criminal, it's kinda hard for him to work with child care.
As for a minister...that takes 4 years of seminary, or whatever, to get a position at most places.
And living on a waiter salary, or any salary in the service industry, is always fun...and the apparent intent of his parole, to make him live near minimun wage.
Sadly, the E-meters aren't theirs. They out-and-out sold them to people. No NDA, no contracts, no nothing. In fact, you can, ATM, still buy one from them, at a really marked up price. I'm assuming the ones on eBay are simply undercutting their profit.
Riiiight....good shot, but I seriously doubt you have anything to do with CoS. I doubt they would admit 'spinning facts' or 'taking advantage of the US Legal system'.
