  1. Re:Damn cops on Couple Busted For Shining Laser At Helicopter · · Score: 1

    Do you think the penalty is inappropriate for someone who did this intentionally, attempting to harm an aircraft? If not, then it's a good law. You know that they will never get this penalty even in the unlikely event that they are convicted.

    It's a police state when the police arrest someone for breaking the law? Wake up, the american people want the police to arrest people who break the laws. This has nothing to do with persecution, it's jackasses being irresponsible. And as for stupid pranks, none of the stupid pranks I participated in endangered aircraft, crashed websites, violated airport security, etc. Technology has given tremendous power to everyone in this day and age, and you know what comes with great power, great responsibility.

  3. Re:Viva la french! on France Leading Charge Against OOXML · · Score: 1

    No I won't give up my weekends, I'll find another job. I have no illusions about what corporations are about, and that's what I'm about when I work, I'm not doing it to kill time. The unions fought for our weekends a long time ago, but it was the government that legislated what the unions fought for. I've never been in a union, but I have many friends who are, and as far as I know they all have mixed feelings about their unions.

    It's not contradictory at all, we have an individualist mentality and not a socialist mentality. We also don't consider our employers as abusers, we have freely entered into a bargain with them. If we don't like the conditions of the bargain, we leave it, and move onto something better. Face it , those unions hold the entire country hostage nearly every year. That's abuse.

    I'll bet the trucks they carried the monks away in had some US made parts too. Oh the shame.
