  1. Re:Perspective of a US Marine on Pentagon Creating A Database Of Students · · Score: 1

    Isn't that fairly inconsistant with your other post, then? If you don't know how the services protect you, how can you claimed they are bullies?

    Never claimed such a thing, though I wouldn't consider planting a roadside bomb fighting, either.

    What do you think would have happened if the US lost WWII, or never joined?

    >>Considering how poorly the Americans have fared in Iraq

    In a stand-up fight or vs. an IED? I'd imagine the US has done very well in stand up fighting. It's very difficult to fight an inanimate object, right?

    Doesn't that also mean you have to keep your morals away from him?

    Of course I know ;-) I went to a Catholic HS. But, it was near Boston so the Catholic Church around here is about to be very poor. (And yes, I know the Archdiocese of Boston != the Vatican.)

    I was just seeing what your reaction would be. You made a heck of an assumption, though. I thought Slashdotters were smarter than that? :-)

    Nice bitch slap. That'll leave a mark. Grats to you and your mother for making the best of a less-than-ideal situation. I also like how the other poster hasn't replied yet.

    They have powers and authority. Only people have rights.

    Slashdot, where telling someone what to say is bad but telling someone what to drive is good.

    You're aware that not every HS has economics courses, right?

    Mine didn't. At least, I never took 'em... (can't remember at this point). Took theology instead ;-)

    Really, you should only be taxed for what state you live in. All your NH co-workers shouldn't be paying any...

    Nope. I agree with you 100%. I just wasn't sure which angle you were taking. Thank you for explaining it.

    Have a good one!

    I'm sorry, but the raw data was spread out by state, I'm not sure which state was red or blue, and I was waiting for WoW to get back online. I will try and take a peek later.

    In any case, it's usually polite practice that, when introducing an argument, one provides the sources they used in order to come up with the argument.

    Imagine, if you will, a trial. One lawyers says, "We think this happened. You can look the evidence up yourself." Don't think it would go far, would it?

    Besides, facts are meaningless. You can use them to prove anything that's remotely true. And NH breaks all the molds, anyway.

    That's also a very intolerant .sig you have there. I thought non-Republicans were supposed to be tolerant? Isn't tolerance like virginity, you have it or you don't?

    So what is the term used to describe a citizen of the United States of America?

    My dictionary says, "American." What does yours say?

  20. Re:Here's the actual numbers on EU Sleuths Think Microsoft Sabotaged Windows · · Score: 1

    To take into account currency fluctuation, don't you think that economists take a certain year (no idea, but let's say 1950) and then base everything on percentages compared to that year?

    Thanks.

    NH was a red state last time, barely a blue state this time, and gets something like $0.65 for every $1 it sends to Uncle Sam...

    The US isn't about a system, it's about the individual. If you can afford it, you can easily get the best. The "system" isn't designed to be for the little guy, it's designed for the big fish.

    And I'd rather die early than live a long time in Cuba, but that's just me ;-)

    Hypocrisy only counts when all other things are equal. The Internet is an interactive medium and radio is broadcast. Hence the regulation (censorship) of radio but hardly any on the Internet.

    That said, you're right, censorship is stupid. As the wise Shawn Carter says, "You don't like the lyrics you can press fast-forward."
