I agree with most of what you are saying. Maybe I am just dreaming but I believe that some day theists and atheists will be able to sit down and discuss such topics by presenting thier own ideas to stand on its own merit without having to attack each other's.
Atheists/theists get mad when you present ideas other than what they believe and think. They will often attack anything that does not fall into thier own system of beliefs. I honestly don't see any difference between fundamentalis atheists and fundamentalist theists. Just stop attacking people both of you groups and learn to let people have this own thoughts without pressing them towards you own.
Oh yes, let's have them build a functional and self maintaing sewer system and let them eat cake too while we're at it.
First thing I thought of when I read this was the images of a poop covered beach in Liberia I saw in the Vice Guide to Liberia. Watching that it’s hard to understand how things got so bad, but there is so much that needs fixed there. This is a nice simple solution that could help. I really think if you bring in a bunch of equipment and money, it either going to get stolen or misappropriated. It's hard enough to keep the peace let alone embark on a solid construction project.
If I want to be sober, I just won't drink. However, when I do drink, (I won't drive) I want to be drunk and stay drunk. I want to be drunk all night and when I wake upside down in a sleeping bag trying to get it open with my toes, I want to wonder how I got there and not be able to remember. This just takes all the fun out of drinking.
It's not a law yet. They are trying to keep things quiet so that there is not enough time to mount large scale opposistion to the proposal. This will allow them to pass it before most people are aware of the implications. Once its a law it will be a lot harder to repeal or change what they decided in these secret meetings.

That's what I wondered. I Googled around some and it seems that in America there is a lot of pirated anime and the Japanese companies are mad about it and trying to put pressure on the US to crack down. From what I read from commenters on some of the sites, it’s not that they don't want to buy the DVDs, it’s that they aren't imported or sold in the US to begin with or there is some kind of delay in releases between the US and Japan. So, in order to get their favorite series latest season, the otaku have to pirate it or do without.

Although, it would not be inconceivable for Blizzard to have done that. They are all about taking as much time as it takes to get things done and have never shied away from pushing a title or patch back in order to ensure it was as polished as possible. This is why all of their games kick ass and kill Koreans imo. They go for quality over cutting content for a early release (KOTR2) or a pretty release date (Hellgate).
Because this is Slashdot and there are fundamentalist atheists here that rival fundamentalist Christian in the ability to relentlessly attack ideas that are not the same as their own.
This is actually a good thing. Blizzard has the habit of not releasing unfinished games and even cancelling games if they start to look like they will be bad (SC:Ghost, WC:Adventures). I would much rather wait for a full and complete game without content cut out to meet a release date like EA-Bioware does (KOTOR2).
You know when this game comes out its going to be polished and will kick ass and kill several Koreans in teh process.
I think there is a guy that just goes around from article to article asking "Why is this news?" on each of them.
If it was a local report about a murder, he'd show up and say "Why is this news? People have been getting murdered for several years now." Or if if was a report on a politicians speech, he'd say, "Why is this news? Politicians have been telling us lies for years and years now."

You can expect a forecast of vengeance in the near future.

I think we missed the chance for that with element 89 (Actinium), however we will have a chance again with element 144. I like the idea though.

Okay, I get it now.

It totally saw this coming. Or weirdly remembered this post.
