  1. Re:tag: backintheussr on In Russia, 50% of News Must Be Happy · · Score: 1

    And do you know why? Because the US is made up of 50% yellow bellied cowards. Nowadays anything the CIA, or NSA, or the military tries to do is wrong, and revealed almost immediately by the USSR's friendly spy the New York Times. It is only logical, now that the US is no longer willing to commit to fighting anyone, the USSR returns to take over. "The power over something is the power to destroy it" -Dune

    Thats why we need to break the two party system. In a world were A Candidate for most powerful man in the world can actually have a bumper sticker that says he is the Lesser of Two Evils, we are screwed. Just because he is better doesn't mean he is good. Actually a surprising amount of people are Libertarian to some degree. People just don't vote third party because they don't think third party will win, and because the party in power always gives money to big parties. You think that the two parties work against each other, but really they're just fooling you into thinking you have power

  3. Re:Surprising? on Russia's Floating Nuclear Plants Under Fire From Greens · · Score: 1
    Not surprising. It shows the real objective of the 'Greens'. When you have coal fired energy it pollutes. Nuclear is unsafe, and it pollutes. Essentially what they want you to do is not use energy. Why? So they can control you. Much like in Animal Farm, they set up a fear of something, at which point the people demand protection from 'the end of the world'. By the time people realize what happens its too late

    Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
  4. Re:Women Belong In The Kitchen on Women Are Fleeing IT Jobs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Equality these days essentially means that one group is given an unfair advantage over another: It might be women who expect to work fewer hours and get the same pay, or it is things like affirmative action. In both those cases, and others , the action is self defeating: if the group demands help to be equal it undermines the cause because it doesn't make them equal, it just gives them an unfair advantage over others, and admits that the group being helped is lesser because they need help.

  5. Re:Nice indeed, but... on Firefox Usage Near 25% In Europe · · Score: 1

    No they are most certainly not. They are just people who know how to use a computer. They recognize that Firefox IS better, personally I prefer it because of it's numerous add-ons. If you want an example, my father, one of the most conservative men you will ever meet has one machine running Linux (SUSE) and another running XP, but with Firefox.

  6. Re:Help me please... on Iran Launches Payload into Space · · Score: 1

    Simply put: The US has nukes. The US wants people not to use their nukes North Korea and Iran may or may not have nukes. They want to kill you and your children, and just about everybody on the planet

  7. Re:I dunno... on Iran Launches Payload into Space · · Score: 1

    Probably because Iran ignores the Geneva Conventions with regard to prisoners...no..US does that too... Oh wait, the Geneva Convention states Armed Combatants... Do terrorists wear uniforms? oh wait... No
