DISCLAIMER: I may be a republican, but I had no joy at that ballot--I hated all the candidates.
And again - which ones are they? Joe Biden as VP? That's hardly any worse than Sarah Palin for VP. And if experience is a requisite for being president, then how the hell can you elect Sarah Palin as the VP candidate? She had less experience than Obama to begin with. And being a mayor of a city with 8,000 people is hardly indicative of ones ability to lead a nation. I'm not judging, just curious about why "these people" don't settle for one standard instead of two
The double standards piss me off to no end... For starters, consider that Sarah Palin is actually Governor of Alaska, in addition to having been a Mayor once. But people forget about that point. They'd rather focus on how little responsibility a Mayor has in comparison to VP. Despite that, that is STILL more executive experience than Obama, Biden, & McCain put together. None of them have ever served in any sort of executive office. And say what you will about Alaska, but last time I checked, a governor is not only over the people in the state, but is essentially in charge of the lands of the state, and makes decisions about it too. That makes Sarah Palin in charge of more land than any other governor in the U.S. It is also one of only 2 states that don't border any other U.S. states.
That aside, Obama has been for "Change", as his campaigning slogan suggests. He talked of doing away with the old bureaucratic processes that prevent change. If that's so, why have the longest running senator, who's been doing those very bureaucratic processes longer than anyone else, as your running mate, and VP?
This block is being put into effect by someone who clearly doesn't understand exactly what bittorrent or file sharing is. I'm sure he will be thoroughly informed soon enough.
Aren't these people of the same caliber of those who don't understand GPL and don't understand how something can be free, so they therefore think (read: "insist") that Linux is actually illegal? Such people would also question Blizzard's wisdom in their choice of tech, and could possibly tell them to suck it up, and use http/ftp for game updates, leaving in their mind no legitimate uses for P2P.
How lame and rude.. Why are half of the comments on here already making lame and inappropriate comments about the passing of a wonderful woman who has captivated our minds and our hearts for 40 years?

Double standards, indeed.

On the bright side, the breeding stops here (for him).
