  1. Re:No, tuition is for education on Email Offline At the Home of Sendmail · · Score: 1

    At my university we split it into tuition and student fees. Fees go to all manner of things like clubs and activities and the rec center and other stuff.

    Links to a bunch of Youtube videos and a link back to Slashdot that doesn't go anywhere besides the front page.

    What is all that stuff? Looks like a bunch of obsolete patches and utilities without any descriptions.

    Allegedly there was still ballot fraud in United Russia's favor, or so at least one opposition source has claimed, so UR's popularity might be a decent bit smaller.

    You must be using small values of 4/5.

    St. Reagan (pbuh) would be too liberal to be an elected Republican today.

    That we do, but he's a moderate. The ones calling themselves Republicans now are extremists.

    The proceedings would take too long, and before it would be finished we'd have a Republican in the White House again.

    There is an ignore option of sorts. Click on that funny gray bubble next to his name and make him a foe. Next you go into your preferences and tell it to give all your foes -6, so there's no way you'll see what he says unless you click on the deal to show you hidden comments.

    More trouble than Usenet's good old killfiles, but still workable.

    They somehow never want to admit that libertarianism has that core failing in common with communism.

    and I'm astonished that it's as high as 9%. I'd love to ask that 9% why in the hell they thing Congress is doing a good job. It'd be good to know their education level and how much they pay attention, and if they're all wealthy campaign donors.

  17. Re:No scarcity of land for landfills. on Should Composting Be Mandatory In US Cities? · · Score: 2

    You have to transport all that garbage to the Sahara (that's a lot of diesel), make sure it gets into the ground, and that it stays there. Then you have to worry about sandstorms burying your equipment and blowing garbage everywhere.

    It's a lot better overall to reduce the amount of stuff that goes into a landfill.

    I'm happy to let you die of chemical poisoning. However, the thing about toxic chemicals is that they *don't stay in one place*. They leak into the water table or blow away with dust.

    You can't guarantee that your own shit doesn't stay on your own property in perpetuity, therefore we have a right to stop you from polluting. For a few excellent examples of this, look up Picher, Oklahoma.

    No, it's the simple retardedness of accusing people who disagree with you of worshiping the state.

    You're too stupid to have a conversation with if you really think that.

    That's great, but you're ignoring the fact that landfill space is inherently limited, and it's stupid to waste it on stuff that could be recycled or composted, and compost is basically free fertilizer for crops and lawns, /and/ those fertilized crops will convert carbon dioxide to oxygen.

    Don't forget that the idea of America going communist is more popular than Congress these days.

    That's why you put your recycle bins in the garage or out back and have one for each type for the entire house.

    You're reaching for reasons to be selfish and lazy.
