I agree. These are excellent recommendations. Ive even given Upgrading and Repairing PCs as a gift to people who were interested in computer repair.
And at the very least, it will give people coming out of the system something to look forward to, becoming productive citizens and be reintegrated into society.
For those who arent in for very long, 5-10 years, it gives them a trade where they can employ themselves, or have a valuable skill that will allow them to be hired and support themselves.
Its very unfortunate that there are those who come out of the system that are "institutionalized" to the prison system, under-educated, incapable of coping in society, lost without direction, incapable of funtioning without a regulated regimen or just lacking ambition who put themselves back on track to get back into the system almost immediately. I have known people in this very situation.
Having relevant skills and income lead to self respect, self worth, self support, and a decrease in recidivism. I've never seen anyone in the outside world support themselves making license plates.
yes, but dont forget that people have been killing each other and repressing each other in the name of their respective gods for thousands of years.
The Roman Catholic Church had the Inquisition starting in the 1200s to persecute heresy, which the Popes saw as a threat to their power in Europe.
Women only "recently" gained equal rights. In 1979, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women was passed by the United Nations. Not exactly a long standing history of women rights. Oh, and the United States is the only developed nation that hasn't even ratified this convention.
And lets talk about freedom. California has passed Proposition 8, along with other amendments in Florida, which removes the civil rights for gays and lesbians to marry. Replace the words "Gay" in Gay Marriage with "Interracial" and all of a sudden its something completely different to people. Yet its the same thing: removal of the freedom for people to choose who can visit them in the hospital, who can make medical decisions for them, automatic inheritance, spousal/child support, support to sue for wrongful death of a spouse and so on. And while religious groups claim that marriage is a holy sanction, remember that Freedom of Religion is also Freedom FROM Religion. When you allow religion to choose your civil liberties, you are no better than the muslims who stone raped women accused of adultery in stadiums because its in their religion. It wasnt long ago that African-Americans had their own schools, doors and drinking fountains.
And considering we just had 8 years of Bush, a United Methodist, with him invading sovereign nations, I find "peace is un-islamic" a bit of a narrow definition.
Actually it doesnt. It may for you but it says "Website Optimization" for me as well.
Maybe your screen is 'shopped. Its a common occurrence on the intarweb.
Just create a video game that starts with: Greetings, Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Cyber Command to defend the frontier against Al Quida and the Middle East armada. (apologies to Jonathan Betuel)
Oh and for the record... I'm not insensitive, I just dont care. http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/text/bloodninja Its robe and wizard hat. At least if youre gonna correct someone, research it first.
Obviously, youre someone thats opposed to "Change." Besides, its LARPing. At least theyre not going "lightning bolt! lightning bolt! lightning bolt!"

I know for a fact that the internet is subliminally trying to control us all. Look at all those buttons that say SUBMIT on them!
Actually, I believe this idea was invented by Shampoo.
That, and twitter. Cause you know, if you have Osama Bin Laden following you on twitter, youre pretty much guaranteed those virgins later on.
Those are called Shanks.

Just use left over tin foil from your hat.
Sham Poo. Both of which are applicable to his emails.
I say wash, rinse, repeat.

Well you are what you eat.
What about transgendered people and hermaphrodites? I mean, really how exactly do you classify a hermaphrodite?
I always thought the marines were a bit dyslexic.
Its also +10 to dorkness
Playing by yourself is pretty fun.
You mean playing WITH yourself is pretty fun.
It'll mostly consist of hacking the Gibson, using virtual reality displays on 486 laptops.

And 5/4 people have problems with fractions.
Actually it was from some emo kid's Live Journal.
"Things an android would say" I think was a category on $25,000 Pyramid at one time. I vaguely recall Brent Spiner being a guest contestant on it.
They just used Shrinky Dinks and cook up those processors in the toaster oven.
Didnt the Greeks invent anal sex?
Just turn them off and see what stops happening. When people complain something isnt working, you know what they do. Easy solution.
