There are lawyers who do good work. We cannot just assume that all lawyers are scum of the earth. Consider DAs who work to have the law enforced, they have law degrees too.
Just as your post appeared to me to be anti-business which is all too common around slashdot, many lawyers will appear like scum sucking bottem feeders.
Right, we haven't had a single advance since the '80s I've noticed. I mean, here I am on a laptop with an LCD, 20GB hard drive, 640k^W256MB of ram and gigahertz processer.
What the idiot who posted this article meant was that they hate giant corps and thought this article was interesting but could not find another way to make their political view points known without making up a false accusation.
Yeah, they are not using the Imperial March when Vader is on screen anymore either. They are switching it to Gustav Holst's music from his Planets Suite, "Lucas, the Bringer of Crappy Prequels."
Ever notice on the radio *cough* Paul Harvey *cough* where the person reads an advertisement every couple stories. Or one I have noticed a lot recently is where the news caster interviews a company advertising on the station. Those ads are the most obnoxious.
We are not out to kill muslims, the folks we are fighting happen to be muslim, and also happen to be attacking us because they are muslim and we are not. However, if you look, we are not killing all muslims, inface we are killing specific people, who happen to be muslim, because they are trying to kill us.
We (as a USian) desire to see USians live. Period.
You kill us, we will kill you. You use terrorist method, we will kill you. You allow terrorists to be harbored in your country, we will kill you. You support terrorists in your country, we will kill you.
The, on the ashes of your former terror supporting corpses we will create a country that is more to our liking. Ideally a democracy or republic and then turn your bass ackwards, hate teaching, anti-human rights country into one that respects human life and freedoms.
This is \. where anything American is EVIL! Forget about a fair shake, crucify the American government!
Actually, I am quite surprised that this even was posted though. Certainly not by michael, but his mini-michael (timothy) actually posted it.
Truth to tell though, I do not know who to laugh at more with this article as atleast \. is being internally consistant here, or you (I don't know who you are) insisting that the French government may actaully be right.
Good question, only you so far as I see. Did you see the word "French" in the write up? Who is complaining? Nope, you are just a pre-emptive prick. As far as a better distro that is up for debate.
Hmmm, if you would take the time to actually listen to any of those AM talk shows you might actually see that there is quite a bit of independent thought going on.
For instance, both Rush and Sean were vehimently against the Bush plans for the amnesty plan for illegals, also both were against Bush's prescription drug plan. The talk radio actually is not a bunch of yes-men on the air, they hold more true to conservative principals than our leaders.
Also, the talk shows claim to be right/conservative oriented. Slashdot simpley is left oriented, but claims to be news for nerds. With michael behind the wheel it is less and less about nerds and more about michael's political agenda.
Yes, there are a few people who genuinely care about the life of the infant, as opposed to caring about their need to spread the religion. My counter-argument to this is that the life of people who already exist and have worked hard to establish themselves takes priority over the unknown. (And if they haven't worked hard, then how are they going to support the child?) Think pragmatically, not at moral extremes.
Good point, old folks have proven they are useless now. It is established that they cannot work as effciently as others, so the pragmatic view is to abort them.
If we were able to remove the welfare side of government, I would agree with your assertion that we could remove most laws dealing with moral issues or value issues.
However, until I do not have to pay for someone elses smoking habits because of medicare, or do not have to pay for the rehabilitation of drug addicts, do not have to pay welfare for those who abuse gambling and acrue debts and need help.
So, until I get my ideal world where I do not have to cover everyone else's sorry butt when thys screw up their lives, or am not in danger of some shmuck drunk driving and killing me or mine, then you are going to have to deal with me imposing my value system on you because you are imposing your lack of value system on me financially to cover you through government enforcement and taxes.
Just because michael does not put a comment in the articles he picks, there is usually a common theme among them. Granted this one is a rarity as it does not seem to have any political slant. Props to michael for his first non-I-hate-corporate-America article.

Only because Bush was putting it forward. Had it been Howard Dean proposing a manned space mission we would have everyone here drooling at the possiblity.
Photographs do not make very good SVG, in the same way that a live concert recording does not make a MIDI.
Remember a couple days ago when we had the games article on how the Doom screenshots seemed too sterile? We get the same thing here. You could easily make a mock up in SVG of a city block, but it is not going to contain the dirt on the ground, oil stains in the street, leaves and newpaper blown into the alley.

Nod... and that was proving my point.

Good thing we have you here to read minds for us. It makes life much easier. I'll keep in mind that all slashbots must be michael clones.
Right, we'll be out of oil in the next 20 years...
Just like the last twenty years...
But not to worry, cold fusion will save us by then...
Cause its only 20 years away too.
Perhaps we need a sample size of more than 20 years?

Use these as initial filters:
Those couple filters alone block probably 80% of the ads.

I was reading your post then saw the sig. I was like, hmmm... Did I post that? Nope...
