    I like you're views. Not sure about the whole monarchy thing, but the 2nd amendment is to be used as a reset switch.

    All the cable and electrical repairmen I know love to go out during and after storms. During Katrina, a friend of mine made over $60,000 during a two-month period restoring cable. I think you were getting the shaft.

    One question, what exactly has this admin done "wrong" or "illegal"? Please explain.

    Well it's easy to blame the republicans when even Slashdot points a spin on the summary. Can't we at least pretend geeks understand what bias is. I feel like I'm reading a regular news site.

    Touche' I was referring to the Clinton's scandals and corruption.

    Huckabee is not the corrupt government official from Arkansas. I won't say there isn't corruption here, but it's not from him. Maybe you should start looking into the admin before his. Just saying.

    Now that makes a lot of sense, instead of trying to get healthcare for everybody, maybe Mr. Obama should listen to you and try and reform the healthcare we do have. And bravo on being a good doctor.

    The second amendment it part of our government oversight laws. That's why defending it is so important. I realize it's a little harder to overthrow the govt. now, than back in 1700's but I'm all for trying.

    Please explain it to us. If you can't see it, and can't feel it, it don't exist. I see little hard core science in astronomy. That's why I dropped that major.

  10. Re:Bad summary. on Dark Matter Discovered Near Solar System? · · Score: -1, Troll

    So like much of astronomy, they are pushing snake oil, and those who wish to believe are buying it by the bucketful with little to no evidence that it will cure all their ills. Astronomists are truly the new priesthood. They have as much basis in fact as astrologists. Go ahead mod me down as a troll.

    As a parent of 5 kids, I will probably attend church on Christmas morning to thank him in person. And all my kids toys are coming from Amazon.com.

    Good points. The only game forums that I belong to are the Wizards of the Coast Magic Online forums, and everybody should know that game sucks right now. So I'm not used to being in trouble for complaining about how terrible a game might be.

  15. Re:Awwww on EA Forum Ban Will Now Mean EA Game Ban · · Score: -1

    I agree that it is my responsibility, but letting our random expletives in an online forums is really just about common courtesy, which is what we are lacking in the world today. That's all I'm saying. A little more courtesy would go along way.

  16. Re:Awwww on EA Forum Ban Will Now Mean EA Game Ban · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not really, if you're that immature in the forums, you'll definitely be even more immature in an online game. I for one don't want my children exposed to such conduct. If people would just act like civilized humans, this wouldn't be such an issue. Thumbs up, EA.

  17. Re:Poverty on Cellphone Banking Helping To Fight Poverty In India · · Score: 1

    This is something that I agree with. In my opinion, it would take generations to do away with such a system. I know in Little Rock we have abolished segregation for over 50 years, and we are still having problems with it even now.

  18. Re:Poverty on Cellphone Banking Helping To Fight Poverty In India · · Score: 1

    See that is interesting. I had read that the govt. had suspended the caste system, but it didn't really go over well with the people. I guess I would be pissed off if my govt told me that what I was working on for the last thousand years was now null and void.

  19. Re:Poverty on Cellphone Banking Helping To Fight Poverty In India · · Score: 1

    You are absolutely correct. That is why I posted my comment in such a manner. You are right I am not qualified, I blame it on my western education. My government thanks that two semesters in high school and college is enough to learn about foreign cultures, whereas I know that it is not. Please pardon my misspeak. I was not trying to bait you, but just making an honest (as I've been taught) opinion.

    Last I checked India was still in the caste system, where upward mobility is not encouraged and not really possible.

    Now that is an argument that I can agree with. I just don't agree with unlimited immigration. I do wish American companies would stay on American soil, with American workers.

  24. Re:I know the perfect solution on Report Indicates Widespread H-1B Visa Fraud · · Score: 1

    Remove the immigration laws, and every job turns into unskilled labor. Educated people from India, Russia, or any third world country would gladly move here and work for half of what you make. That was the parallel I was trying to make. That's why you can't get help from English speaking people when you call tech support. Stop whining about how bad America (specifically xenophobic) is until you've tried to make it where cheap labor is the norm. By the way, I am working on my education, and I live quite comfortably in rural America unloading trucks, an unskilled labor job. I bet I make pretty close to what you do.

  25. Re:I know the perfect solution on Report Indicates Widespread H-1B Visa Fraud · · Score: 1

    So you must enjoy working for $7.00 an hour. Try living in Chicago where the average unskilled job pays $7.00 an hour, you work 12 hour shifts, and you work 7 days a week. Oh yeah, and the cheapest place to live is over $800 a month for a rat infested 2 bedroom apartment. Don't bitch about how bad Americans are until you've tried to live where a majority of the people are illegal aliens, and the employers know this.
