    oh sure, a little manos goes a long way. i do not mean to suggest watching it the whole way through... just pieces of it here and there, just to keep a little weirdness and a lot of badness near you at all times :)

    perhaps that isn't such a great idea.

    look... this is getting boring.

    i don't give a flying fuck if we are talking about id, politics, sandwich bread. YOU DO NOT GET PERSONAL when discussing/arguing/debating over issues. only small minded little twerps do.

    sheeesh... i cannot believe some people around here JUST DO NOT GET THAT!!!

    If we go after ID'ers personally (which normally I'd be all in favor of, because they're jackasses)

    wow. quite possibly the most telling thing i've ever read. don't agree with someone? go after them personally.

    yeah... what mode do you like? do you stop at verbally assulting someone... or do you take it up a few notches? i hear physical violence is good for that. of course... why stop there... maybe you should just kill those who disagree with you?

    nice to see such an evolved world view.

    p.s. i'm not an id supporter.

    Proof eh?

    LOL! Um, Soviet Union, Cuba... France! (look at unemployment rate)... gawd. The list can go one and on. I know... its cool to think that socialists are all about compassion.

    Conservatism has nothing to do with money, in that conservatives support capitalism, which means its up to YOU to do for YOURSELF... not let the government do for you.

    So, I suppose you proof, i mean aside from tinfoil hat conspiracy theories, that conservatism is "all about money, plain and simple."

    Socialism DOES NOT WORK, it will NEVER work. Its really that plain and simple.

  11. Perspective on Red Brains vs. Blue Brains? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    from my perspective, I'm going to have to call bullshit on this.

    i, started out a radical liberal. But then, as I got older, smarter and grew up, I discovered the simple undeniable fact... that liberalism (in the form of its formalized political ideology of Socialism) does not work, and removes freedom... and those other nasty things like being completely opposed to human nature (the nature to progress, to have incentives to do better)... Socialism removes these incentives.

    So, this concept is total bullshit.

    Oh yeah, I'm conservative, but I am more compassionate than most liberals. The DIFFERENCE IS I DON'T NEED FUCKING GOVERNMENT TO TELL ME TO BE COMPASSIONATE!

    That's the difference -- liberals want to be absolved of their own responsibility to be compassionate and put that responsibility in the hands of a large powerful central government so they don't have to worry about it.

  12. Funny in a sad way on Real Feels iTunes Backlash · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From the article:

    Virgin Mega recently took issue with the iPod, saying its proprietary stance was anticompetitive.

    Um, yeah, this is kinda funny. So, getting the pants beaten off you in the marketplace is grounds for calling a highly successful device and media format "anticompetitive?"

    Ah, but what if the shoe was on the other foot now? Sheesh, the knuckleheads at Real and Virgin need to stop trying to spin the obvious and just get to work on *making* something that can compete.

    yes you are correct, and it should be noted that my original post didn't include the qualifier "extreme" which was a mistake on my part.

    I have many dear friends who are part of the political left, I don't agree with them, but they are so far above the antics of the *extreme* left.

    wow, could you be any more indoctrinated or what?

    Yeah, those evil republicans! I know, lets just stop taking half measures and just commit random acts of violence against them... yeah, i mean, they aren't even human right? So it won't matter... yeah, next republican you see, bash her/him over the head with a brick. They have it coming to them, subhumans that they are.

    You are a liberal, its your duty! To stand up against the inhuman unfairness of a republican.

    This little "stunt" is about as pathetic as anything I've ever heard of... and is just a glowing indication of the inability of the left to engage in the political process in any meaningful way.

    And yes, you with the mod points, sucked into the slashbot group-think, I fully expect you to mod this down as troll, flamebait... or wait... use the ULTIMATE cop-out... overrated!

    Why no meta stories on Slashdot?

    Yeah, i've always wondered about this... is it because taco and crew are just that terrified? I mean... with all this talk of open source and YRO and on and on and on... why not turn that spotlight around on themselves?

    Are they that affraid of what they may learn? That there are legitimate grievances here with users?

    Why the fear of an open and transparent exchange of those grievances? Insecurity on the part of Taco and crew? I think so.

    Yes moderators... this is way the fuck offtopic. But that doesn't mean these things shouldn't be said... heh, and in the context of this thread... it *is* on topic.
