Same here! The Best Buy application was the worst. I took it several times and never could pass, until I did a little googling on the company that made the personality test.
I learned that you scored the highest by answering "Strongly" agree or "Strongly" disagree to every statement, not just agree or disagree. Keeping that in mind, along with the thought, "how would a smiling mindless drone answer this question," I filled out the test and got a call for an interview the next DAY.
Lesson learned: cheaters win. I still work for Geek Squad while I go to college.
The trick is to assume the stupid things first without letting on that you are assuming they are stupid......which they probably are, parents excluded.
Does publicity count as a reason? I know I would switch to an ISP who vocally supported net neutrality. I'd even pay more! Anything so that my bandwidth isn't capped, and my torrents aren't throttled.
Fair enough- a nation has never been truly communistic and succeeded.
Good point on the pure democracy. That is good proof that direct democracy works on a smaller scale.
We can say that pure communism could never work, and to my knowledge, there has never been a truly communist nation. Nations that are considered today to be Communist (upper case "C") do not practice true Marxist communism (lower case "c").
I think it is safe to say that a true and pure democracy (the people directly vote on EVERYTHING) could not work in today's world because it is not logistically feasible.
That's not to say that I support the direction of the US government (the consolidation of power), but I don't see another realistic alternative. It is simply unfortunate that the current system rewards corruption.
Maybe that rich prince knows? I'll be sure to ask him when he gets to America. I sent him that money like he asked a few months ago, so I'm expecting him any time now.
I cannot believe that the NFL's copyright on the broadcast can actually legally prevent people from gathering to watch the game... doesn't that seem a little unconstitutional?

I was only being kind. They are of course, the worst ones.

Let me be the first to say, Hail to our alien overlords!

Maybe someone could write a book about it!
Blackboard is the devil. I imagine a group of CompSci undergrads could put together a better system as a class project.
