Dear jgardn: There were some spelling errors in your wonderful letter. As such, please note the corrections below.
I'm sorry folks, but there is a line, and it is called "censorship".
Pornography is enjoyable. I think any sane person agrees with that. What people do with their life that doesn't affect other people should be left alone. If someone doesn't like pornography they don't have to watch it. It pays both men and women well. No one is forced into the life of a porn star. It glamorizes sex. That sounds like a good thing to me.
I guess if you believe that sex is something that should be hiddenm not talked about and generally repressed you probably have a problem with pornography. If our nation turns into one where the majority repress their sexual urges and pretend they don't enjoy it it's going to lead to some pretty messed up people. I think the taliban would approve. Once Americans start behaving like the Taliban, we're going to have some serious problems.
Lewd talk and foul language have no place in public discourse. You can express yourself better if you use clean language. Fortunately, lewd talk and fould language aren't necessarily pornography and anyone who attempts to link the two is probably being disingenuous. But, there is no need to use sailor talk in front of women or children, or even men for that matter, unless of course your the president talking about a reporter, or the vice president talking to a senator. Baby Jesus cries when people make false analagies such as: "It is a crime to defecate in public places, so it should be a crime to defecate foul language with your mouth in public places."
I know this may peeve you so-called "Religious wackos" and Taliban supporters out there, but let's face the facts. America was founded on the separation of church and state. So called religious principles, rights that supposedly come from God are subjective at best. After all our forefathers left England because the current religious based govermnent would persecute them for not behaving exactly as they would like. Those rights include free speech, but some people want to take that away too! You have as much a responsibility to excercise your freedom of speech as you do to vote. (For now at least)
And not comparing this with the totalitarian regimes in places like Afghanistan and Iraq (until not to long ago, thanks to President Bush), is just stupid. We have been able to maintain a good balance, and if we go too far the *EITHER* way, the public is free to correct the course of events with their votes. Or just go knock a few thousand people off the voter rolls in a tightly contested state.
Not only on *what* you broadcast, but also *when* you broadcast.

I don't know. It doesn't sound like Bush is too eager to do things very well over there either.
However, you can't really have a meaningful debate over the motivation of an individual, i.e. Bush or Kerry, only of the actions and consequences of those actions which either might take.
Given that, I'd consider that if Bush or Kerry or Kermit the frog really wanted stabilization in Iraq, they'd send in an assload more troops and put the place under lockdown until elections.
I just don't see Bush as having the belief in the cause or the will to abandon it either, hence the half assed governmental "hand over" in july or june or whenever.
Just fucking around with homoerotic torture isn't going to do much good. You really do need to win the hearts and minds of the people or you need to crush their spirit with fear and brutality in the same manner as Hussein. Tell me, where do you think we are now in that regard?
In my opinion (and that gets you squat) they should have had small scale local elections, e.g. in the vilage or city block level, immediately after Hussein had fallen; these people would have been given some form of responsibility and the people could have had a better appreciation for the effects of democracy (for better and worse).
Likewise, they should probably hand out a few more of the reconstruction jobs to iraqi citizens and business rather than Dicks old buddies. I don't know about you but I'd rather make a few bucks a day and feed my family or myself than not. Whose more likely to blow up an oil line, someone being paid to build it, or someone who sees money being made from their countries natural resources with little benefit being given back to the country?
I can't guess the motivation of Bush in going to war. I know I don't believe the imminent threat, I don't think the neo conservative movement is entirely to blame, but I do think they played a role. Some people think Bush did it for religious beliefs. You probably don't remember back in the 60's people were afraid to vote for Kennedy because they thought he would take direction from the pope. I really hope it's not because of religious beliefs. So, whatever his motivation was, the place is *screwed* now. It happened under his watch at his discretion, with important decisions having been delegated to people he chose. I really doubt it would be much worse under Kerry. My guess is that he, having spent time in combat, probably has a better idea of the realities regarding war than Bush does.
"Why would you put *any* unpatched box online, whatever the OS"
Well, there's a reasonable answer to that question in the article itself. Trying to patch it requires that the user go online. Maybe he didn't want to wait the 2-4 weeks that microsoft states as the delivery time for the CD.
A better question may be why didn't he turn on the firewall?
Why Bush is considered a republican? Amendments to the constitution, reduced civil liberties, eliminating state rights, huge deficits...Oh yeah, thats right he's a fucking religous nut.
"A massive experiment in distributed computing and data management, the fruits of which will be phenomenally valuable... Nit-picking aside, your second reason is a community service"
No, he's right. Community service may fall out of that, but R&D is an investment and one of the ways a company stays in business in the future.

Way to go. Can't wait to see what wacky stuff the second term of his presidency brings about.
Fun hijinks for all!
How about the fact that the Saudi royal family owns about 23% of euro disney?
Also of interest is that the Saudi royal family owns 23% of euro disney.
hippy

Yea, I remember that one. Written for a 1.0 JVM.
And since JVM's haven't really improved it must still be hopeless right?
Jane, you ignorant slut.
I believe that the mplayer plugin does just that.
Doesn't solve my (and the posters) problem tho.

Seriously, A friend of mine, in an icq conversation told me it wasn't true. Plus my mom said so as well.
