Yeah, uneducated consumers (idiots) shouldn't shoulder the blame for making uneducated decisions.
I'm so tired of this blame the corporation shit. Fuck, what happened to people actually READING up on something before making a big purchase.
I remember when people looked at cheap computers as just that, CHEAP. They where relegated to the people that didn't DEMAND performance.
You wanted a real machine, you bought something that costed quite a bit more.
Of course, that actually meant people KNEW what they wanted, what they needed, and they actually researched their purchase.
It's much easier to just go plop the credit card down at (insert_trendy_store_declaring_bancrupcy_here) and buy the cheapest thing. NO research in impulse buying. And computers have become so cheap, they can be considered a an impulse purchase now.
Nope. My HP laptop, running X64 Vista Ultimate, has absolutely no problems, either.
My Ubuntu system in the living room, however, is another story. Getting video cards to work in it is an excersize in futility. Getting pretty much ANYTHING working in it requires reading several MAN pages, getting a wireless ROM code on my hard drive, trying 4 different drivers (3 of which came with Ubuntu, 2 of those cause the machine to lock up while attempting to init the card, vista had no problems with it).
Linux =! user friendly.
Vista is an entirely capable O/S. It only takes current hardware to get it to work capably, like pretty much any O/S MS puts out. Win2k, sucked, until a few months after it came out. XP, NOBODY would run it, because 2000 IS SO STABLE. years later, everyone SWEARS by XP as MS's flagship OS for the desktop.
In the meanwhile, 2K, XP and Vista all work flawlessly here on different systems. Linux, well, that's an excercise in computer engineering, just getting it to boot up, full graphics acceleration and have wifi.
At this time, we are not the only country with space flight.
We can shut the shuttles off, sell them to other countries or scrap them, and let.ru continue to send people to space.

Besides, the shuttles aren't really safe anymore. Why keep something around that has a failure rate of, oh, 20 percent?

It was great. My kids got to go to spacecamp, for 100 dollars out of my pocket.
My kids never had to bring home papers asking for donations, money or supplies. They HAD everything they needed.

Taxes will definately NOT be shrinking under the Obamanation. He has already backpeddled on his taxing and tax increases, from a quarter million a year to somewhere in the lower 100 thousands.

So, of course we won't get what Obama promised. He is nothing more than a lawyer. He is nothing more than a politician. New person in office. New change same as the old change, only this time, it's an african american putting the change in his pocket instead of an already rich white guy.

So, nerds, get some balls!
wait, I beat up a bully in jr high school.. WTF is MY time machine.
Seriously. Putting the video of beating a kid up on utube is over the top. It not only makes you a bully, but sets you up legally as you are now premeditated.
All you have to do is kick the living fuck out of one of the bullies once. Even if you get the crap beat outta you, you will gain the RESPECT of those bullying you (respect and fear have a fine line. Typically, those that bully others don't understand or want to recognize that fact). Once you have respect, others leave you alone.
Simple fact, and one that carries over to LOTS in life later on.
They tried that way with me, after hitting someone in the head with a piece of wood.
My mother brought in the letters she had written to the school and the board. That pretty much closed that problem. The incompetents that buried their head in the sand decided it was easier to deal with a bully firsthand, than have some lunatic mother bully them around.
Incidentally, I was never bullied again. News of the attack on my went from school to school within the district, and when we moved, it was known I wasn't particularly muscular or large, but you fucked with me, you would end up in the hospital. Period.
Life is that way. Iron man, the statement is made "is it better to be respected, or feared..? I say, why not both"... Simple sentence, simple statement, and SO much truth in it.
Give a bully what he gives back, and you get left alone. Period. It's a time proven fact, and no amount of psychological bullshit can hide or paint over that fact.
When I hit the bully in the head with a 2x4 piece of wood, they wanted to haul me in for a friggin military tribunal it seemed.
At that point, my mother brought in my 2 instances of being put in the hospital and copies of the NUMEROUS letters she had sent to the principal and school board.
That pretty much closed it up. They decided it wouldn't be worth it to go to court and be shown for the incompetent fucks the school admins and board actually where.
You want to stop being bullied, stand up for yourself. Don't want to stand up for yourself, get used to it, because life and human beings are cruel.
Waaah, Mommy, Johnny called me a luser on myspace.
Remember, anonymous asshole, we came from your country to escape the persecution your pretty much talking about now.
So, anon ass, seems Irish and English bullying have been going on longer than whats that? AMERICA HAS BEEN IN EXISTANCE?
Stop with the veiled assinine attempts at throwing stones. Yes, it's a major problem, but it's not a problem for legislation, it's a problem for people to grow a pair of nads and actually take some personal responsibility.
I'm sorry, would you like to come back to earth, where the rest of us live?
Bullies feel bad. The only bully I knew that felt bad was the one I hit upside his head as hard as I could with a piece of wood.
Also got me out of being fucked with by people with IQ's smaller than their dick size.
Grow a pair, grow up, and learn to deal with your problems, instead of thinking it's everyone elses problems to deal with.
That's what got the world into the mess it's in now, nobody takes responsibility for themselves or their actions. Hence we have a bunch of idiots running around in larger proportion than before.
Cyber bullying. Find out where they live, and go fuck them up. GOOD. Then there is no more problem. Relying on Mommy and Daddy to protect you doesn't work anymore, because Mommy and Daddy are trying VERY hard to keep the Hummer and the Escalade, the three quarter million dollar home and send Johnny to college. All making 14 dollars an hour.
You can't teach manners. Manners are something you learn by watching others you respect.
Bullys typically have respect for no one, they are taught out of fear. Teaching one out of fear means they won't learn by typical methods, because they are always being scared of something.
Typically, a bully has a father that's an asshole. Typically. Or no father at all, and a mother who is a whore. Either way, a simple 2X4 upside the bully's head will work wonders. It DID for me in 7th grade.
The whole you are glad something is being done scares me.
When I was a kid, I got bullied, too. To the point of being put in the hospital, twice.
I didn't learn about the legal system, I learned about a fucking 2X4 piece of wood.
After that, no more bullying problems.
The problem with kids, and this solution, is it breeds pussies. For lack of better terms.
We have kids KILLING THEMSELVES today because someone talked "smack" about them. Honestly, are you THAT F U C K I N G mentally weak, that someone who says your a piece of shit actually causes you to KILL yourself?
Seriously, folks. The problem here isn't the bullies, the bullying, or anything else. It's the problem of people insisting that their children not do anything, insisting that their children just "run to law enforcement" for EVERYTHING. It's a total ration of shit, enforcing in your children that it's up to EVERYONE else to solve their problems.
People, you need to grow up, and stop with all this "bullying" crap. We've brought up an entire generation of people incapable of serious thought, people that think it's up to the entire WORLD to PROTECT them, no matter what, and a generation of people with a general sense of entitlement.
Yeah, this is a good thing, sheesh!
Cybe Bullying. What a crock of fucking political shit. Grow up, grow a pair, and take care of your personal (that's the key word here) problems for yourself. The self respect YOU get, and the general respect the rest of society gives you will go MILES farther than any law will.
Not to mention, hitting a kid upside the head with a 2X4 that has kicked your ass a couple times really gets the message across. I NEVER had a problem again, for 5 more years of school. Yes, violence sucks, but for some, it's all they understand.
Actually, I do know what I'm talking about. 15 years in the industry gives you that.
I'm not talking about an establishment's license, I'm talking about a servers license. It's complete bullshit.
And as far as liquor stores going through a distributor, they do. Yet, it is ILLEGAL for a bar to go to the local liquor store to get a bottle of something they ran out of. You think your distro guy is going to get it to you in 20 minutes?
Do you know what your talking about?
15 years in the industry in what state?
Each state defines it's own liquor license laws. In Ca, the ONLY people that don't require a license are waiters / waitresses. You have to have a certificate to sell fucking alcohol at 7-11 (you did when I worked there fresh outta high school).
A liquor store (see, that entire STORE thing means they pretty much are catering to the END Luser) is designed to sell to the people consuming it. Not to someone doling it out to others. Should you get a bottle of liquor that's tainted somehow, now there is no verifiable chain.... It could be ANYONES guess as to how it was tainted (I know, VERY uncommon, but it could happen).
But, bitching about a retail establishment not being able to purchase from another retail establishment a controlled substance is kind of... Well.
Hey, ya know what? Pharmacies can't do that, either. Guess it's a controlled substance issue, huh?
Come to think of it, neither can CIG companies.
Oh yeah, those pesky tax laws. GUESS MAYBE THAT'S WHY A RETAIL ESTABLISHMENT CAN'T SELL TO ANOTHER... Their has to be a tax stream as well as a way to ensure taxes are paid.
Do you think it's ok for a store to sell a bottle of alcohol and collect TAX on it, then the restaurant / bar NOT pay any taxes on the people they are selling it to (ie, not charge their end users tax), or is it better to just not pay tax at all? Or have the liquor stores (remember, they are not wholesalers, just retailers, so they don't KNOW tax law) decide who to tax and who not to tax?
Again, 15 years in the industry, and you don't know it's set up just as a taxable income base? And you can't figure out why the feds have ensured that you can't beat them?????
OK, MDMA was given to people as a mood elevator in the 70s and 80s.
MDMA is a methamphetamine derived chemical. There is (if memory serves me well enough) either 2 or 3 differences in the chain.
They also DID prescribe methamphetamine as a mood elevator, as well as a brochiodilator.
Methamphetamine was given to our troops in Viet Nam. A good friend of mine actually has a bottle of it (the empty bottle, the contents where LONG ago consumed). His argument for having it is: I'm a methamphetamine addict. I had never touched it, nor heard of it, until Viet Nam. My government gave me pretty much all I wanted then. So, they gave me the FUCKING habit. Should I ever be arrested, this is a DAMNING piece of evidence. I don't think he would do very well, but it still serves as evidence of Methamphetamine ABuse from our government in the 60s / 70s.
Matter of fact, Methamphetamine is STILL legally prescribed in the United States. It's used for SEVERE obesity as well as narcolepsy. VERY few people get it for ADD/HD as well.
Cocaine? Yup, we have that as well. Most opthamology shops set up for surgery (not your basic eyeglasses plus type place, or julios lasic clinic, but REAL eye surgeons), they get Cocaine. It's one of, if not the only anesthetic used IN the eyeball.
Coca Cola ALSO STILL uses Coca in their drink. The Coca BASE (which is cocaine, after refining) is whisked away for no apparent reason (I'd say, more than likely, for the production of legal cocaine, for eye dox, but I'm sure they don't say for security reasons) is brought to the states. Matter of fact, Coca Cola Bottling is the BIGGEST single purchaser of Coca in the world.
Care to anonymously talk about this some more? I tend to know a bit more than the average idiot about drugs, drug use, pharmacology, and the such. Growing up in one of the largest methamphetamine production towns in the world during the 80s kinda does that for ya.
While an interesting story, I hope you don't believe that anyone put away for dealing illegal drugs is a "bad" person.
I disagree. A drug dealer is sometimes simply capitalizing on another person's addiction. They are as "evil" as any other greedy person who keeps another person down for a profit. Not always the case, but I would say the majority.
Like the tobacco companies and liquor companies, right?
"With a little research into what the papers were putting on the front page, you will notice a couple of things: All violent crime was assumed to be mob related, regardless of the evidence. The fact that crime was down was overlooked or buried."
In Ca, to sell alcohol, you have to have a certificate.
The establishment needs to have a liquor license, but that doesn't mean shit to the people actually selling the alcohol.
Why do they go through distributors? Because so do the liquor stores. WHY THE FUCK would a restaurant / bar purchase their liquor at retail price, instead of at wholesale.
