I must disagree. The problem is that correct usage of the English language is rarely misunderstood.
consider the missing comma here:
"Mary had freckles on her but we liked her anyway."
Without the comma, one could infer that Mary's ass was speckled.
Also, the "Pimpin'" remark you speak of was completely correct in grammar and use of abbreviation.
You know, Adolf Hitler made these arguments about the safety of the police and populace, when his fiat when he extended the 1928 gun controls in 1938. Now I know that Nazi's didn't really need gun control laws at this time, but they sure help.
A government fear of wacko extremists who may go off the deep end is a healthy fear to have.
The only problem I have with this logic, (peace is better than freedom), is that once the government controls this access, and peace returns, they will not return these freedoms. It will be a long long time before these restrictions are lifted. I know that Abe Lincoln returned free press to the US after the Civil War was over, but I think that was not the norm.
And btw, I am NOT a Red-Shirt sympathizer. even if their collectivist ideals are benevolent, I am VERY anti-communist, but their right to be heard is MY right to be heard, and I will defend it.
Hell, I even IM the guy in the next cube when he's on the phone. It seemed odd at first, but for important issues with simple yes/no answers, it can be really effective.
They deserve no praise. They have been they are selling ADVERTISING, covering an historical Primary season. The winner will either be the first black man, or first woman to be President. And they have been hoping for Obama, because they feel that is a first in the world. Never has a majority white, powerful nation had a black leader. England had Margret Thatcher, so Hillary would not be a first.
Believe me, they are selling adds, not doing a civic service.
I see your point. A bomb would at lease be in a plain brown box. Maybe with a fedex label. You are correct that some effort would be taken to make it look "normal".
Oh, I really just thought of this! I was sincere in my concession, but I realized, would you question the FedEx box?
You didn't call anyones attention to it, did you? You just confirmed to me that a way to plant a bomb where you work is to just make it look compex enough.
There is something to be said for "fear of assassination". Remember, on of Hitler's first acts of power was banning guns. Knowing that flaming nut-jobs can't have easy access to guns is a comforting thought for tyrants.
For the last 10 years, EVERY apartment or house I have lived in was occupied by a welfare/Section 8 tenant before me, and after me as well. I have LIVED in the US ghettos.
My sister-in-law in Saigon died from Tetnus! You say WE have a healthcare crisis? I am not arguing that the US is perfect, but we are comparing it to fucking BURMA! In the US poverty is living on welfare! In these other places poverty is dying from Tetnus!
I do not stay in hotels in Viet Nam, I stay with family, people with no running water or electricity, and therefore no refridgeration.
NO ONE HAS TO SELL CRACK IN AMERICA!! 90% of the crack pushers in the US have a place to sleep that MY TAXES pay for!
GO TO ONE OF THESE PLACES AND THEN SAY THAT SHIT!!
I am a fervent Patriot but CLUELESS people like you are embarrassing. You disparage American society when it is YOUR worldview that is distorted by your charmed existence. Have you ever seen the shanty villages in places like Burma? It is hard to watch Sex in the City when you can't afford a blanket to sleep on.
Have you ever actually BEEN to Southeast Asia! Do you have any CLUE what a real humanitarian crisis is? I am sure when Clinton was in office all was grand. Or maybe you are such a marxist ass hat that you think the people here have always been oppressed by the Capitalist Pig-Dog.
Go to Viet Nam, Laos, or Calcutta, and look TRUE poverty and oppression in the face! You can't travel one kilometer in these places without seeing a Shantytown of garbage-picking beggars. There is NO socialized medicing in some of these places. No government assistance of any kind.
I can't even think straight enough to compose a reply, so please don't even respond to my post. I'd only be able to type FU over and over in response.

I thought that some American Catalog companies were running call-centers with inmates as well in the mid '90's. Is this really new?

And now microsoft is going to try to buy Hoover Damn. Gotta keep up with the Joneses.
I am sorry, but wasn't the most recent terrorist the son of a well-to-do banker? He reminds me more of Karl Marx than some poverty stricken sob-story.

I remember FAT32 being billed as "New" with Windows 98! The Ministry of Truth is nothing new at MS.
Nothing to see here... Move along....

That is not Censorship, that is freedom of the press (which is limited to those who actually OWN a press).
Have you ever actually BEEN to Southeast Asia! Do you have any CLUE what a real humanitarian crisis is? I am sure when Clinton was in office all was grand. Or maybe you are such a marxist ass hat that you think the people here have always been oppressed by the Capitalist Pig-Dog.
