I disagree. I find irony in America's constant pursuit and judgment of those that smoke cigarettes. Yet there is this huge push to 'make everything legal'. As far as health goes, smoking cigs is much better than injecting heroin or smoking meth.
I think the people that will suffer the worst are the poor. Intelligent, normal income people know what drug use leads to. The people in the poverty underworld (those which will never post to/.), will be hit hardest by easy to reach drugs. That leads to many things, more deaths, more high school drop outs, and less employable people.
No they are humans. When the commanders of Hitler's army were tried for killing 1000's of people, they claimed they broke no laws for the people they killed were not human.
Saddened to see us go right back to this mentality.
Not sure what world you think you live in, but this is the same with goverment anything. I know plenty of people that don't work IT for any goverment contract, too boring. No body works, everyone stands around the water cooler and gossips all day. I am saddened that you think that goverment anything wouldn't waste money.
Same here. It is very sad that people simply believe all the negative comments about Christianity without ever researching them. I enjoy the work Ray Comfort does and I am truly saddened when I see him street preach to someone that claims to be atheist or believe in evolution and when he asks them why they believe that, they usually can't answer. And if they do answer, it is usually not much of an answer (ie. it makes 'sense', there are contradictions in the bible, ect). People seem to put so little effort into their beleif these days, whether Christian or atheist.
Actually, the bible teaches critical thinking quite well. From needing discernment of what is God's Will to identifying false religions and cults, there is plenty of critical thinking to go around. Too bad it is practically banned from public now.
Evolution destroys all that though. Ask any high school or college age person why they believe in evolution and they won't be able to answer. They were just told that it was 'true', no thinking needed. Plus text books show us that pretty hand drawn family tree looking thing.
My Grandma has been running the debian stable line since 2006. I have not really had any issues that couldn't be solved. For the most part, depending on the sites/emails that she goes to, you will have to jump through hoops to get videos to play right/automatically. But it is possible. With facebook replacing email in the older generation (it seems), you might just get away with having only flash for videos. The other issues are getting pictures off of digital cameras. I wrote a quick script that can be ran when you plug in a camera and it will get any new photos and copy them to a special directory. It is smart enough to not download pics that are already there.
Surprisingly, when company has come over (it is grandma's house afterall), I have never notice anyone comment while they are using the linux computer. They just seem to all use it find. Never asking "What the heck is this?".
I mean really, it is like the 21st century. Why can't cars get better gas milage? I am not an engineer, or very good at physics, but it seems to me that we can do better than this.

Weird, I would not have thought that one would be down voted for such a post...
Perl++ 3
Also agreed. Seen plenty of startups go down because they want to use the latest when the latest doesn't solve anything.
The lack of 'ribbon' is exactly the reason one should stick with linux...
I'd rather have more kids than risk my wife having adverse side effects to birth control (stroke, death, blindness, infertility)
and I don't agree with birth control. So I'll be in the market soon.

I am posting this from a wireless internet provider in my (rural) area.
And well, the service is pretty crappy.... I couldn't imagine trying to browse the net by connecting to a satelite.
Didn't even know he resigned. Shows how much I care. Hopefully MS will be able to do something cool now.
I am happy.

Well viagra is treating a medical condition. Trying to prevent pregnancy, well that is not a medical condition....

Exactly, you believe flat out lies that everyone has a different opinion on.
Agree.
What ever man. Top of the line AMD cpu: $250. Top of the line intel cpu: $800.
My gpa was 2.88. Is there still hope?

If you want to harbor good critical thinking, lets start with what they teach in schools first. http://www.unmaskingevolution....
I investigated evolution but I can't buy in to it.
Most grandma's don't know any software. I have to (re)teach mine how to use copy/paste every month.
