glad to be a catharsis for you. you needed to get that bile out. actually, i'm not a, how did you put it? "fucking imbecile". i'm a snarky sob, though. you apparently needed to vent your disgust more than get a laugh though.
you should thank me, i probably added a year to your life.
and for the record, the thing i'm most against w.r.t. any government program is its implementation at the federal level. when you don't think that panel is impartial or have some other beef, if it's federal the government has to let you sue. if it's state/county you always have the next higher level's courts. plus federal programs are centrally located for easier subversion by monied interests. not that that's ever happened before or anything...
actually, i feel safer when among people openly carrying weapons. the crime statistics for legal gun owners are lower than for the general population. so, one of those gun owners might just save my ass.
why does a blue uniform change your judgement so that you feel safe with that person carrying a gun? in the cities i've lived in cops have a history of brutality and other criminal behavior, including selling seized guns in DC (when it was illegal to own a gun there). Philly, PG county MD, DC.
cool, so we can all agree that anyone should be able to get automatic weapons? no? guess people are only willing to go so far down that road of "it's not the technology itself".
Dr. Emmett Brown: I'm sure that in 1985 plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by.:p
what would be a good thing would be partially desensitized to pain. that way you get the information ("hey, you should pull your hand off the stove burner") without the incapacitating effects.
clearly this is wrong because it doesn't begin with 256 and end with a power of 2.
e.g. 256KiB, 256MiB, 256*2^(10^90):p
you need to realize that Microsoft is the one true religion, and its leaders channel god's thoughts. sometimes their human frailties cause them to get the exponent wrong.
in fairness, many of those same people were calling for an armed revolt against the last president too, an event you would probably have met with considerably kinder words. I don't see how that's racist. It's equal opportunity hating of perceived oppressors. Whether there was, in fact, oppression occurring and the extent to which any real oppression occurred is another matter. yes, there are still racists in the world. you fallaciously conflate all people who want smaller government with the racists. i posit that there are more racists that are big government types than would even consider opposing big government.
neither party gives two turds about us or the constitution other than whatever power it has as a rhetorical bludgeon over the other side.

Same policies. Better PR.
Seen any antiwar rallies recently? a bit smaller than in years past, huh? heard about any on NPR recently? no, didn't think so. dead issue, dead promise. pretty much the only leftish opinion source calling Obama on his BS is Greenwald http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/ who is alternately ignored and excoriated for being "fringe" left. apparently holding someone to account for promises broken is "fringe" now.
i didn't say it was well directed, effective, or good satire, but clearly it wasn't a violation of copyright, even as ridiculously overpowered as copyright is today.
but if i were to look for meaning in that image, perhaps it means to say, "you voted for me, the joke's on you." or, since the maker is a Palestinian Dennis Kucinich supporter, "you thought you were getting a progressive, well instead i'm as insane as the last guy."
on a side note, it's amusing how many on the left decided it *had* to have been racially motivated, to the extent of police forces arresting people in the hunt for someone who happened to be more aware of current popular culture and not at all aware of the parts of our history that made some think it had to be racial. quite sad, really.
and the reason i brought the first amendment into the discussion is that it was the reason for the exemptions in DMCA for political speech. Otherwise the DMCA would have been struck down long ago. Apparently that linkage was lost on you. Clearly the server owner has the right to take something off their site, but DMCA gives a third party the right to force them to do so whether they care to or not. The issue at hand is the misuse of the DMCA takedown process by parties unknown to stiffle political speech. So go stuff your attempts to misdirect the discussion.
As to the DMCA, follow the money. it leads to disney, hollywood, and new york.
Political satire is one of the foundational reasons for *having* a First Ammendment, troll. But then in your world, everything your side does is art: they are infallible, even when they fail to deliver on key campaign promises. o.O
Satire's main advantage is that it helps break through our blindness to the negative sides of the group in power, even if we're supporters. It's one thing that helps change who's in power. This is a good thing(tm).
would you be surprised that i very nearly agree with you? i think our society needs to destigmatize apprenticeships, trade schools, and other non-college career training paths. but that's a separate issue from the topic under discussion and the current political and actual reality that comprise it.
i thought the US needed to encourage more and better American citizens to go to college and become scientists and engineers...
looks like our educational institutions have said, "f that".
i say, "f them"
(i'm not opposed to immigration or people coming to get an education and leave, but i don't think my tax dollars should pay for these colleges to actively sabotage my kids' chances at getting a job.)
if you get rear-ended it is highly unlikely that the accident is your fault from a legal perspective, even if you did cause it. so your analogy doesn't quite work.:(

cool. we're glad you agree that we need to exist, but that doesn't change the fact that we've decided you need to die.
easy there. you should still preferentially dine on the free range rude.

$1.25 is pretty steep given the numbers probably present in the bulk material tested.

there are people who cannot feel pain.

how do we submit bug reports?
when we die, i guess we get garbage collected or freed back to the heap.
meh.
troll for interrupting the flamefest of overated mumbo jumbo with reason and facts. it is intolerable.

and if stories about furries or tribble infestations sell more ads, then they'll saturate the available bandwidth to your tv/computer with that.

i wonder if estuary ecosystems depend on this energy TFA proposes we harvest.
what effect will exploiting the "green" energy have on the environment?
will it actually be green or is this going to lead to 1000s of mini Aral seas?
