  1. Re:Republican on State Senator Caught Looking At Porn On Senate Floor · · Score: 1

    Republicans have spent much more of your money, and committed you to spend way more (in debt payments, in unfunded mandates, in catastrophic misadventures like wars and deregulation) than Democrats ever have.

    With full democrat acquiescence... There's nothing to argue here.. They a re a tag team. One's distracting you while the other is picking your pocket, while accusing each other of the theft! One of the oldest con games ever, still works like a charm.

    Yes, they are competing for customers, but where people go wrong is that they believe that they, the people, are the customer. No, the customers are the distributors, or other oil companies, governments, etc, nothing to do with us. We are the consumer. Big difference. OPEC is like a car dealer association, where the trading is manipulated.

    ...it shows how somebody is unwilling to stand behind his words...

    That is a meaningless, foolish statement.. Words should stand on their own. If they need somebody(a charismatic, for example) to prop them up, they are worthless, and should be ignored. Try not to obsess on the messenger.

    ...Kernell did the public a service in helping to expose a corrupt politician.

    We don't write law to serve the public.. In fact, some are written to protect the corrupt politician.. seeing as that we let corrupt politicians write the law

    Yeah, after reading what these people do, I am a bit paranoid..

    IE works fine for me. And on business machines, I do restrict third party installations. Maybe it's because I'm lazy, but it makes my job much easier.

    Well, a bit more like you have to buy the shelves and vegetable drawers, the door, and water/ice dispenser from the manufacture, maybe the compressor too. And not too many people are running torrent trackers on their kitchen appliances. But like you can visit any site with an iPad, you can put any food in the fridge..

    I buy it knowing full well it's locked down like fort knox, but it's their control over the thing that makes it as easy to use as possible.

    That's pretty much it. They are selling an appliance with a specific function, or two.. It's like people are complaining because their refrigerator can't fly them to the moon and back
