So we substitute noise pollution for gaseous pollution. Joy. Am I going to want to open my fridge to hear it chilling at me? The noise of a compressor motor is annoying enough most of the time. Is the cost of soundproofing going to be cheaper than the current insulation? Esp given that you'll need temp AND sound insulation now? Is this going to drive my animals crazy even if I can't hear the sound?
BTW this is exactly what I'm talking about when I say that we're stupid to be chasing Saddam so hard right now. So tell me one more time how it is that Iran and Korea don't get the same war threats?
Funny, the same argument can be used against 'if Bush says he is a threat' that you used against my congress quote. Hm. Funny that.
Just because Saddam can shoot at us in the no fly zones despite his agreement not to does NOT imply that he's a clear and present danger of using weapons of mass destruction. They are not logically linked, idiot.
If the asshole hasn't managed to get a mushroom cloud over tel aviv in the last decade, I doubt he's likely any time soon. Several members of congress agreed that there was "no new information indicating a new threat". He is not an imminent threat in his current state. I don't recall saying we should lift sanctions on him, nor stop patrolling the no fly zones. The point is, Bush is just trying to distract the country from the fact that he failed to get Bin Laden and can't manage the economy to save his life. That doesn't mean I think Saddam is our buddy, it just means he's contained, let's keep him there, no need to waste billions of dollars and who knows how many lives on a grudge match.
If we needed to bomb every place that was that kind of a threat, why the double standard for Korea and Iran?
I never said Saddam had never had any weapons, nor did I even say I believed that he had none now. Thanks for jumping to conclusions about what I believe, and that I 'hate America'. At least I'm not the one willingly giving up my rights to some illiterate moron because he says it's in my best interest.
Yes, I honestly think the brass will let these midshipmen get kicked out, because they were violating the law. Doesn't mean I agree with the law, but I am under no illusions that the brass will want to protect people who have made them look bad.
'Cos you know, there is definitely credible evidence that Saddam is readying chemical an nuclear weapons against us. 'Cos we say so. Yeah, that's the ticket. We Say So. Never mind having to prove it to anyone, like, congress, or the public. 'Cos that would, of course compromise national security (by demonstrating that we're just pursuing a vendetta because of perceived slights against my dad).
If someone refuses to show me their site because I'm blocking pop ups, that means they've lost my viewership. Once they realize that no one is visiting any more because of their stupid pop ups, maybe they'll rethink how they fund their site.
I didn't just drop verizon, nimrod, I just opted not to use them for cellular. Lucky me, I don't live where I have no choice. Many people do, as I pointed out.
In Washington state, where you're probably buying cellular, there's lots of choice.
In any state where you must be a verizon customer to get local service, there is no "right to choose a different phone company". As far as it goes, all the phone companies are doing this same crap, so there's no choice among business practices there either, realy.
And as for opt out...don't even get me started. I don't have enough time in my life to read every "privacy statement" from every company I do business with that proceeds to tell me "we're going to sell you out to the world because we know you want us to, unless you call our magical 800 number". If I got so much "benefit" from them reselling my information, I'd gladly opt in. The only reason for the opt out strategy is that they know that there is no real benefit to anyone but them, and they hope that making it a hassle to opt out means enough people won't that they'll still make their money.

You are SO FUNNY. No government is trustworthy. So where exactly should I move to that has trustworthy government?
All around, it sounds like a brilliant idea.
Break out yer tinfoil hats, boys!
'cos you know, Sun isn't doing ANY R&D, they're just suing Microsoft in hopes that the money gained will hide the fact that they're not innovating.

And I rarely beat children. Oh, wait...
You make as much sense as saying that, since I speed in my car, I probably also take heroin.

Given all the discussion around mom & pop not needing upgrades any time soon, is this really going to affect a large portion of the population?
Exactly my point, thank you.

heh heh. He said "sticky".
I'm thinking you don't have much experience with organizational politics.

Unfortunately, these were just midshipmen, not "The Navy".
Care to back that up with some facts & references?

BTW if someone from Verizon is listening: I was just about to buy YOUR cellular phone service. This just guaranteed I won't. Have a nice day.

So obviously benadryl doesn't work for her. Why would she be taking it then?
I think you'll find most of the no-nukes crowd, decidedly not religious in most cases, are right along with the agenda of no-nano's.
