Haven't you heard? Everyone who doesn't walk in lockstep with the Repub party line is an extreme leftist. I'm a conservative, and have repeatedly been called an extreme leftist (and worse!) for having such leftist views as "multi-trillion dollar debt is bad" and "warrantless wiretapping is wrong" and "Duke Cunningham is a crook".
You're totally missing one of the biggest reason that Apple setup their application store on iTunes.
They wanted to create an easy to use application market that was unlike the myriad of shady sites...
And here I thought they just wanted to make money and ensure future sales by locking me into a single point of service. Now that I realize they were benevolently saving me from myself by preventing me from patronizing the myriad of shady sites that they don't have absolute control over.
It's more that they haven't grasped the full implications of things like YouTube.
I think they're getting it now -- according to the Washington Times, McCain's YouTube channel has beaten Obama's 11 of the last 14 days.
Even if he's just paying people to set around all day and click on his videos, it still makes for a nice statistic. Even if Paris Hilton crushes both of them.
So sure, I could go into a public restroom at my office every day, snap covert pictures of my co-workers who have small dicks, and post them on the internet. But I don't.
But if you sent out an anonymous letter to your co-workers asking them to send you pictures of their small penises, and they did it, and you posted their names and penis pics on the web, that would be kinda funny.
No, but the dramatic price increase over the past 4 years doesn't have a correspondingly dramatic demand increase or supply decrease, compared to previous years.
If you don't think it's fair, don't buy the product.
I get 55 miles per gallon, so gas prices don't bother me by themselves. Unfortunately, when the price of gas goes up, the cost of shipping goes up, so the prices of *most* goods go up.
Saying
No one is making any one else buy gas
is just dumb -- unless you're a farmer or live on a commune, eating requires that you pay for the gas needed to get the food to you.
How about when "some jackass" like me CAN afford a house, but his wife and her job leaves him and his teenage daughters for another man, and he is left raising and supporting those daughters without her income or help, and loses the house that he no longer can afford on his single salary? Or some "jackass" not like me gets his job outsourced? Or gets crippled and can't do that job any more?
Unless there's been a massive boom in wives leaving their families in the lurch, outsourcing, and people being crippled, none of this is at all related to the current problems in the real estate market, which is pretty clearly what GP was referring to.
He summarized the debate from a political perspective to explain why 'spotted owl' appeared in the search. This isn't the same thing as 'glossing over'.
However, if you'd like to enlighten us as to the intricacies of this divisive issue, my sockpuppet would be happy to mod you off-topic.
How about we reduce their power by going back to one representative for every 50,000 people instead of one for every 600,000 like we have now?
I'm not in favor of this (nor do I think yours is a bad idea), but the logical end to your suggestion is this: Why not just do away with the concept of 'representation' and just let every individual vote on every law?
We only have representatives because 200 years ago it wasn't feasible to get everyone who's eligible together for voting and discussion. Today it is (sorta).
So let's just have a democracy and do away with the republic.
In my opinion, anyone that celebrates his death ignores his final crime and should be held in the utmost contempt.
Which 'final crime' are you referring to? I celebrate the death of anyone who kills his family. If you're pro-death penalty, wouldn't the killing of his family 'warrant his death'? If not, then what crime would?
Instead of delivering power to remote areas the government would cut them vouchers for batteries
Actually, rural electrification was a massive government initiative (signed into law in 1936 by FDR) that was met with great resistance from conservatives.
Please don't assume that the government can step in and run it for anything reasonable. Hell, just look at Amtrak which has never in it's entire history, posted a profit or went one year without needing tax payer money to support itself.
You're making the assumption that Amtrak WOULD post a profit (or at least less of a loss) if it were privately controlled, yet there's no evidence of that.

Burning karma to point out a pet peeve:
It's not "besides the point", it's "beside the point". Think about it.
The '90s are over; Amazon makes a lot of money.
These Mac vs. Linux arguments get really tiresome.
Too soon!

Thank you, Apple.
DNF designers are in a great position -- 10 years of "Vaporware of the Year" awards have to count for something.
Sadly -- and perhaps deservedly -- President Lover would be elected by the widest margin in history.

Here's what I think should happen as a result of this lawsuit:
Fortuny doesn't have to pay the $75,000, but DOES have to honor the offer of S&M sex with any of his victims who still wish it.
Lessons learned all around.
Did you expect the price to stay even?
No, but the dramatic price increase over the past 4 years doesn't have a correspondingly dramatic demand increase or supply decrease, compared to previous years.

While I know you're right, I feel much better and safer knowing that it is no longer possible to trade kiddy porn online anymore.
The ends justify the means. Thank you, Mr. Cuomo.
The Church, if anything, managed to save some of the knowledge that would otherwise would have been lost.
You mean, the Church managed to coopt the learning already well-established in the Muslim world that would otherwise would have been lost in Europe.

you can't excuse corruption by pointing to corruption
and
a transparent attempt to excuse great crimes by pointing to petty misdemeanors.
Please explain how pointing to 2 criminals is an attempt to excuse the crimes of one of them.

If you honestly believe in something, you'll stick to your guns and NOT compromise.
In this case, Congress could have ended the war by cutting off funding, effectively overriding the veto. They chose instead to sit down and shut up.
There are about 5,000 american soldiers dead in Iraq...
And there are a crapload of Democrats in Washington not lifting a finger to stop any of it, so you've proved GP's point.

A cop got killed in the process of this moron committing a felony -- that's 1st degree murder everywhere I've ever lived (even if it's not a cop).
The only problem with the justice here is that the taxpayers of PA have to support this shitsack for the rest of his life.
Here's hoping it's a short one.

I fail to see the connection between being a spammer and being a murder-suicide in the making.
Lack of empathy. Kinda like this:
Do I care about your wellbeing? Not really. Do you care about mine? I doubt it.
The fact that you think everyone feels the same way you do speaks volumes.
If it were up to government
It is.
