    No, actually (we) are going to physical therapy and calling it the gym. Hanging around the pharmacy waiting area and calling it socializing. Going to the doctor and calling it going for a drive. Being unable to eat anything you like and calling it dieting. Napping, reading, watching TV and reading Slashdot sorta round out the day!

    And please forgive me, I have to. What you mean "we" whiteboy?

    In Northern California, they're trying to get everybody to use them for TV/Internet/Phone and send out an unrelenting barrage of snail-mail spam to get you to sign up, at one point they (Comcast) had live operators calling customers to persuade them to switch, I would always reply "so if I was having one of my heart attacks during one of your network problems what should I do?".

    I particularly love it when the shitbags sue welfare moms and people who live in public housing!
    Who are then represented pro-bono by a shyster looking for some free press. Am I wrong in assuming that, as a very poor person, you are in effect judgment proof? you know, "you can't get blood out of a turnip" type of thing. After all it's about money and intimidation, no? And if you have nothing to take and damn little chance to ever get anything isn't "suck this" a more proper response than an attorney?

  13. US Grad students/Phd candidates on Why Is US Grad School Mainly Non-US Students? · · Score: 1

    My two cents worth is that with American schools increasing their fees and tuition, fewer people can afford to go on to grad school. Maybe China and India Finance the tuition of their citizens, America doesn't!

  14. Re:'The Hoff is busy.' on Knight Rider To Ride Again · · Score: 1

    Naw, bring back the Hoff! Let's show him taking his medication, cinching up his Gut-B-Gone, rubbing his knees with liniment and so forth.

  15. Re:Exploit this... on IBM Seeks US Patents For Offshoring US Jobs · · Score: 1

    At my last "real" job, providing support for Linux/Windows2K on Stinkpads and servers/desktops there were several young women (very typical IMHO) who would speak so softly that I continually asked, please speak up I can't hear you, over and over again. Finally at the end of the "meeting" with the young ladies (young American, Anglo ladies) I would say "I'm sorry but I just cant make out what you said, please send me an email.

    It must be noted that other people, men in particular, were perfectly understandable even the Russian and Indian engineers.

    Many young women just think its genteel to speak softly and refuse to speak up to someone who is hard of hearing, and even get mad when you don't understand them!

    Scapegoat, America is #1 in Scapegoating! America RULES at the use of whipping boys and patsies as a quick and easy way to solve crime.

    The problem in the US of A is that judges and prosecutors are elected officials, they have to posture and mug for the electorate (you know that Billy-Bob voter Luuuves to get tough on crime) and the surefire way to have a great record is to charge the first person who you are absolutely sure cannot mount an (pay for an) effective defense.

    In short, an entire nation full of Mike Nifongs.
