but stifling a valid opinion isn't going to make a lot of people happy
You're assuming that their opinions are valid. Believe it or not, folks have two recourses concerning Wal Mart's hiring practices - one is HR and the other is not working for Wal Mart in the first place. Defacing a Facebook site is absolutely inane and does not to support whatever 'argument' is being made in support of this opinion.
Just about every other nation looks at the U.S. in a bad light these days because we're prudish, invasive, annoying, and hipocritical.
Hate to break it to you, champ, but it's been that ways since 1789. It ain't going to change anytime soon. We've liberated the French two times and they were selling Stinger missiles to Saddam during the arms embargo via the 'oil-for-food' program, promulgating the largest fraud in world history. We cut off their cash cow...of course they're pissed.
Same things happening with Russian and Iran. You don't think this hatred is idealogical or that these countries don't spy on their own citizens, do you? Or are you a naive libera...oh, nevermind.
Their real power lies in their ability to calculate and analyze certain things - namely, Quantum stuff, which it can do much better than your average pentium.
At least that's the explanation I got some time ago from a physics-guy friend.
Your 'physics-guy friend' *cough* faggot *cough* doesn't know shit about systems architecture. Bone up.
Funding is withheld when the feds want the states to do something but the actual topic is something that the constitution specifically delineates the jurisdiction to the states.
Boy, you got the Reserved Power Clause exactly backwards: it states that if a power is not specifically given to the Feds, then it falls to the states which is, of course, subsequent to the Implied Powers Clause which basically says that citizens should not be deemed to forfeit rights not specifically enumerated.
Seriously, half the time the trolls are the entertainment. I mean, do you really give a shit about 15+ year old kernels and a goofy looking European? Seriously.
Alright, it's now been used twice...what the fuck is "COBAL"? Is that like a subset of "COBOL", you twits?
I can see why the OP was always getting screwed and it had nothing to do with the last digit of his student ID and everything to do with his not even being able to name a core five-letter programming language correctly. That you even graduated with a CS degree is nothing short of a miracle.
Does that mean 'spooky action at a distance' becomes 'slashdot dupe' in all the textbooks? Personally, I prefer ballsy scientific names after people like Heisenberg and Avogadro.
- A democratically elected government with 100% transparency - 100% nationalized economy where all work equally and are compensated proportionally to their capabilities - Total freedom of expression and speech
You've never read Marx, have you? The work is not meant to be distributed equally. Really. The proles do the work for the brains so the brains can relax and think big thoughts. Problem is the proles don't like that.
The problem with reaching this goal, which all totalitarianist status that started out with the end goal of communism (Cuba, China, The USSR, North Korea) have encountered, is it is impossible to nationalize the enconomy while having a democratic government at the same time, because it is a violent process by necessity
I should say so. If the State came along and said I had to operate an engine lathe because the State needed it thus, what do you think I would do? Join one of the 100 million folks Communism/Socialism has killed? It has Christianity beat by a long shot in the 'murdering innocents' department.
No thanks. I'll take economic and political self determination any day over forced equality. It's just damnfoolishness that keeps getting people killed. Ask anybody who worked for the Venezuelan press. Or Cuban.
BTW, can you name one Communist country that wasn't totalitarian? You said they're 'mutually exclusive' however I have yet to see an instance where a Communist country was NOT totalitarian.
How many UN resolutions do you think it will take to stop Iran's nuclear program?
Well we now know the US needs more than 18 UN resolutions and 3 Congressional authorizations in order to go to war. That's what Bush had for Iraq and he sure won't touch Darfur or Iran with one jot less than that.
Well, to be honest, in the last 30 years we've only had one President impeached, and he wasn't convicted.
What does this mean? Clinton was impeached. Three times. He wasn't removed from office. 'Convicted' means nothing here. He was found guilty. On three counts. Period. There is no conviction. You are either impeached or not. You are either removed from office or not. People who say 'impeached but not convicted' are displaying an astonishing lack of sense.
Look at how Yeltsin's concentration of powers and suppression of political opponents was vigorously supported by the US -- just as long as he was dismantling Russia, the US didn't care.
Mod parent up as insightful. Buddy of mine had a grad school prof who was a Russian expert that was called in by Clinton. Told Bubba that he should support Democracy and not Yeltsin. Ol' Bubba loved dealing with a drunk Yeltsin too much to do the noble thing and...we have reaped what he sowed. I watched it happen and thought it was a bad idea to support Yeltsin, but Clinton felt he was getting a patsy, thinking short term and not about the future or the damage his actions might have on others.
It's "viruses". This isn't Latin, we don't pluralize with "i"s.
When you're using Latin (even in English) you do with Second Declension nouns, fuckhead. Singular: -us/-er; Plural: -i. Not that this applies to virus, since it's NOT a second declension noun, but it its own plural, like data. The plural of virus, is virus. So you're wrong in English AND in Latin.

Democrats regularly strip off shirts and try to confiscate signs that are critical of them at their rallies.
Or just beat the ever living crap out of them.

I missed two questions.. both were addition problems.
But...that doesn't add up.
Because kids will tell their teachers and the school boards the truth.

Marie Curie? Yeah.
I fucked her.
Ohhhhh!!!!!
Not if this global cooling theory comes to pass...oh no, wait, we're pushing global warming now, is it?
Tough to keep straight...
Ob. 'You must be new around here'
Seriously, half the time the trolls are the entertainment.

Small nit, but if ghosts are involved, it's no long 'sci fi' and is now 'fantasy'.

I agree with your support of private industry, but a fucking tea company?
Please mod parent up as '+1 Ironic'.
Don't you get the feeling that China is the kind of place where every 10th one of them might 'disappear' to send a point?

At least it'd keep the terrorists out of Dodge.
Fucking A right, it would.
If folks were allowed concealed carry on airplanes, you reckon any of those planes would have hit anything?
