I'd almost take that deal. My wife and I have a combined debt of almost $70k in student loan. Partly for living expenses, but a good percentage of that is school costs (like fees), and books.
That's the truth, I wish I would have taken some of the y2k jobs I was offered in '99. I would be much better off now. Without a paper, I can't get a job, even if I know more than most of the grads that have jobs.
Now that's the best concept I've ever heard on slashdot. Makes the internet really nice. Nobody knows what race you are, or education, or even sex. And none of it really matters in the end.
Why does so much of science come down to, we found something similar and we tried it, and it worked, therefore it will work elsewhere too. Anybody confused?
My $.02 worth. Both of my parents have master's degrees, one brother has a bachelors, one sister has a master's, one brother is 4.0 in college and my other sister is still in high school. I have five kids, work full time, and have been going to college for the sum total of 8 years. I don't have a degree, barely have a 2.0. My wife dropped out in the 11th grade, and now has a 3.5 in nursing school. We have over 70,000 in student loans, not including huge amounts of grants every year. We've recieved wic, food stamps, free daycare. What color are we?
Thirdly, there is no oil monopoly. Oil companies do not calude with each other, they compete. The oil industry is infinitely deeper than Exxon, Chevron, and BP. There are hundreds, if not thousands of independent oil and gas companies in the US alone. The people that have interests in the Bakken in North Dakota are not the majors. They are companies like EOG, Marathon, Kodiak, and Questar. These companies do not have refineries. They sell at the market price, they have no say in what their product goes for. They do not have enough reserves to make any impact on market prices even if they wanted to. This is a contradictory statement. Since most of the independents do not have oil refineries, and they have to sell at market price, this almost precludes it from being a free market. Right? Care to explain further in detail your ideas?
The NRA pushes all or none mentality, cause that's all they can do. When you start giving up little rights, you give up all rights. What part of that statement is hard to understand. Today it's guns, then smoking, then internet porn, then linux, then slashdot, then life. Wake up people and smell the gunpowder.
Apparently nobody has ever seen Red Dawn starring Patick Swayze. Yes, the people can hold off the govt if it becomes tyrannical enough. Or what about Star Wars eps. 4-6. You don't think Palpatine placed a ban on all lightsabers? Sorry, just finished watching spikes star wars weekend, and those movies make me feel like fighting for my rights.
You bring up good points. I think we should drop the crime/crime prevention angle. I own guns, cause I like to kill small and large furry animals. Yeah, maybe it's a power trip, maybe not. But I do so love the way furry, feathered, and scaled animals taste.
School shootings are a far and between thing. You're right taking away my gun rights will stop alot of them, but then again, when I was 14 going to a rural school in some podunk town with less than 4,000 people, I had connections to get illegal guns. So I'm sure anyone could do the same thing if they wanted to bad enough.
Again with the ac crap. If you can't post your comments attached to your name, go back to your mom's basement and sleep it off. If you beleive in something, then stick up for it.
It seems he was very big on personal rights. I never knew he marched on Washington with MLK jr. That's pretty interesting. Just because he believed in the NRA doesn't make him some sick twisted individual. I wish geeks would wake up and smell the coffee. Once we start losing one right, we begin to lose them all. You might consider joining the NRA yourself.
It seems more useful to have cows that can live in the sea, then whales that live on the land. At least from Japans viewpoint. That way they can use their land for people instead of animals.
Ahh, now I see where I messed up. I should have read better. I've not watched the BBC, but maybe I should. I would much prefer a more unbiased opinion than MSN or Fox News.
Does Microsoft not make enough money? Why do they need a search engine so bad? Can anybody please explain that to me. They can't make that much more money off of simple web advertising, or can they?

It don't matter most of europe will be going in about 6 more years. See giant asteroid is going to hit us. http://kh-mmk.blogspot.com/2008/02/london-england-reuters-giant-asteroid.html. I'm buying a bomb shelter and generator right now.
It was my first time, and I was very nervous. The second one went down on the first shot.
Hitting the rabbit ain't hard, but killing it is. Trust me I've tried. Third shot, and he was dead.

Yeah, sorry about that. Thanks for correcting me.
Please don't talk bad about John Wayne, he was the greatest actor, even if his personal life sucked.

No guns on ebay, I've checked. Otherwise they would be the "Black Market".

Being objective does not mean elitism Looks like you said objective to me, when you were discussing the news media?
Who said the news media was ever objective. Everybody is out to push his own agenda. Just look at the coverage Ron Paul gets.
Does Microsoft not make enough money? Why do they need a search engine so bad? Can anybody please explain that to me. They can't make that much more money off of simple web advertising, or can they?
Points well taken.
