    Connector has never worked for me or many others. I'm sure it's probably worked well for you, but for many, many people it does not.

    Why don't they patch all their bugs? Probably the same reason they don't do lots other things. They don't see a financial gain by doing so or a financial loss by not doing so.

    Hey buddy, while you're busy feeling guilty over your feelings of superiority, did you even read the submission, never mind the article?

    It's about Ashkenazi Jews. Not Jews in general.
    Likewise your families prevalence of depression, cancer and in grown toenails wasn't mentioned in the article, only Tay-Sachs, Gaucher, Niemann-Pick, and mucolipidosis type IV.

    Now, perhaps you actually are a Askenazi Jew. If so, nevermind.

    We probably do need new parties.

    But anyone who thought this was the election to try and make a point or thought there was no clear difference between the two is just plain wrong.

    You may not have liked Kerry, he wasn't my first choice, but the election should have been realized for what it was: For more years of typical American government under Kerry, or four years closer to a theocratic oligarchy and the death of America with its core values of freedom, privacy, rights of the individual, equality and peace.

  22. Mod this offtopic. on Spitzer Takes On Record Industry Payola · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I figured you'd have some complaints about "America Bashing"...and after reading the modded down replies I see I wasn't wrong.

    I hope that each of those people whining about "America Bashing" stops to think about their knee jerk reaction.

    First, when whining about "America Bashing" do you see any similarities between your complaints and those of the politically correct? People whinining about the actions of others rather than ignoring the incorrect complaints or correcting the valid ones?

    Second, why do you think the bad mouthing of America is on the rise? Is everyone just jealous of us Americans? Bitter, disenfranchised Europeans sick of our economic and fiscal might? Smelly brown people upset that they have to clean toilets for a living? Those two things haven't changed, they've always been so. Except at one point those people used to want to come to America and/or look to it for strength, opportunity and equality. Why do you think they no longer do?

    Third, Being in some sort of a cultural, military or econimic slide is one thing, pretending you aren't and not taking steps to correct it is another. Living in any sort of a vacuum is only going to increase the rate and depth of that slide. Insulation is not healthy. It breeds ignorance.

    Wake up America: Being born in the U.S isn't enough, it never was. Respect, strength, prosperity and support come through actions and shared values, not nepotism and patronage.

    Look outside Fox News and CNN. Try to *understand* why those outside of the US are offering so much more criticism. Don't rely on faith or others to do your critical thinking, that's lazy. Being lazy is not a virtue.

    It's a small world, and a new one. And the new world didn't start on 9/11/2001.

    The activities described in the stories are a federal crimes against Americans.

    For christs sake, just because a federal crime is committed against someone you have a political disagreement with does not make it ok. These are your fellow Americans. Do people hate their political opponents so much they're willing to destroy democracy and America to win?

    What's the freaking point?

    Do they see the irony of Americans being killed and maimed in Iraq to provide democracy for people who don't want it while attempting to kill and maim democracy for those people who wanted it enough over here to actually register?
