Such a charming display of simple faith... her daddy is her preacher, you know, and I'm sure that she spends all her days desperately trying to make da-da happy. But daddy is stern like the patriarchs of old, and somehow she's never quite good enough. So it's over the knee and down with the panties.... whap! whap! whap!... "You're not good enough for daddy-god!!"... spank! spank! spank!... "You'll have to do better if you want to make daddy-god happy!" whap! whap!... "now get down on your knees girl, mouth opened in PRAYER for the holy communilinugus!! And prepare to recieve the blessing of the LORD, even though he hates you!"
How dare you sir (or madam)!! How dare you!
It is clear from the title of your post that you were not so subtly casting aspersions on an organization who I hold dear -- namely the Hirsute Dungeons n' Dragons society. You can frame your remarks in some obscure racial epithets, but to those of us who twirl our mustaches or stroke our beards while rolling dice, your insidious implication is brazenly clear.
As the leader of a group of men (and women) With decorative facial hair who play Dungeons n' Dragons every Wednesday night, I cannot help but express the strongest offense to your euphamisticaly delivered hidden acronym. In the future, should you have such thoughts I would urge you to Do Not Say them.
of course you're right... and if I might add some bile to your rage...
IF ANYONE AT THE SO-CALLED DEPARTMENT OF 'JUSTICE' had any balls they'd be trust-busting the RIAA instead of Intel!
Freedom is a big part of this issue. There are many uses of the word 'free' and 'Free' markets are not necessarily congruent with a free society. Businesses in free markets don't care about personal liberties. They care about making money. In the absence of any regulation they will do it any way they can. Not because there are not honest moral people in the business world. But because unregulated capitalism is an inevitable race to the bottom. Yes slavery is wrong, child labor is wrong and sweatshops are wrong. But if my competitor is doing it, and he's producing the product much cheaper than I, then I will have to find a way to reduce MY labor costs to zero or go out of business. In the US, we have workplace safety laws, environmental dumping laws and child labor laws, all brought on by the historical excesses of the free market.
Anti-trust also has a firm grounding in history. Because of the breakup of Standard Oil we have much more freedom of personal transportation that we would have. Because of the breakup of AT&T I no longer have to call the phone company if I want to move my phone to a different room in the house. Because of anti-trust litigation against IBM we have cheap personal computers and, ironically, Microsoft.
What is this, rt.com?? The same site had a story about a Ukranian guy who was building his house from stolen tombstones and another about a hairdresser who forced a would-be robber to be her sex slave... entertaining, but not exactly a place I'd go for credible journalism.
Well, if you are a member of InfraGrad and your boss isn't, then he suddenly has to be aware that you might snitch on him at any time. Now he has to treat you with some respect for a change! Or if the boss is already a party member, then as a fellow Infragrader, you'll be preferred for promotions and raises. Maybe you were a weak little sniveling rodent before, but now you're a member of INFOGRAD and you can strut around in your imaginary jackboots because you're just a little bit better than those common people!

Marx called religion 'the opiate of the people'. Not being a Communist, I just think it's crack.

It will be a great day for mankind when the first zero-G bong is tested. "That's one small puff for a man, one giant toke for mankind"

There's one in Charleston Harbor ... the USS Yorktown, 'Fighting Lady of WWII'. Still floats. In need of some repair.
