...terrorists act the way they do not because they are crazy and evil, but because they believe they have legitimate grievances and that their cause is worth fighting for.
It's kind of sadder that we can never expect the US to keep any promises, and that its principles (as opposed to its interests) are a complete illusion.
You people make me wanna puke! Ew! he is still better than the alternative... How the hell are you going to know that if you never vote for an alternative?? And fuck your lesser evil crap. There is no 'lesser' evil amongst democrats and republicans. They are a single evil on the same team.
What I'm saying is that they'll maintain a niche market, like a lawyer with one client.. I believe they want to disappear from public view. Sort of their own little 'dark net'. It will put them in a good position in our ubiquitous surveillance society.
Can we please stop blaming corporations and governments for what is in reality a natural disaster?
Natural disaster? No such thing.. It was a natural event that became a disaster due to lack of foresight and the decision to take a gamble that didn't quite pan out. Disaster, like beauty, is in the eye...
No, Nixon did, when he floated the US dollar on the commodities and derivatives markets. It didn't hold up so well, took pretty big hits in '73 and '79...
Oracle is in the midst of creating a closed ecosystem, helps keep prying outsiders out. And maybe it wants all traces of anything 'Sun' that's out in the wild to be made extinct. I am sure that many of its customers, like banks and governments are very satisfied with the services they provide.
Sometimes simply detaining a person is not enough. It attracts too much attention. Gotta take it to the next level. Good luck trying to prove anything.
Yes, and the chosen solution will be to outlaw masks. And we all know that bank robbers will balk at violating that law. But most of today's biggest bank robbers are wearing suits. They are even so brazen to keep an office in that bank with their name on the door!
It was fully funded before the coffers were emptied. Are you just playing dumb? And what does karma have to do with anything? I didn't know we were playing some kind of game. You should've told me, I would've prepped and put on a suit.
No, it's the 'feds' (you know, congress?) that authorized the theft. And 2005? Please! The coffers were emptied in the late 70s early 80s. Maybe you weren't there...
I too can have a big bank account and still carry over credit on another account, using the first as security. That money is what was stolen by the very people who owned and/or managed the institution where the first account was kept. You don't have to believe it, but the money was there before it was stolen and the thieves made up the story that all of you are parroting today. Such a shame to see you people pushing this austerity bullshit with hundreds of trillions of dollars swirling around Wall Street. How much are the feds feeding into it? 50-100 billion a month?? Actually doubling the insult... None of you will admit that you've been and are being taken for a ride, and will make each election season a little worse than the last.
Yeah well, in most places in the US, if you rear end somebody, no matter what the reason, it's you're fault. And I could not agree more. Fuck all tailgaters... Like the bumper sticker says, "Go ahead. Hit me. I need the money."
This was submitted by cold fjord, Slashdot's resident neo-con who supports waterboarding, said the Iraq war was "worth it", and said Bradley Manning deserved to be tortured for 'faking' feeling suicidal.
Oh please! It's nothing that elaborate. All indications are that he has been hired to write this stuff, which really smells of professional marketing. He's damn near a 'bot.
The public sector workers of Detroit, in concert with the local officials, were trying to steal from future (often too young to vote, or not even born yet) tax payers when they negotiated their packages 20+ years ago.
That's a load of crap. The pensions were fully funded, and the money was stolen by Wall Street gamblers, the people entrusted to manage the pensions. So now that money vanished into the derivatives markets. The government has the power to zero out those accounts and put the money back.
For as long as I can remember, the general elections have been more about picking the lesser of two (or rarely three) evils...
Well, that is where all of you fall down. I've belabored this point far to many times to care about arguing it anymore. However, when crooked people are reelected over and over pulling 40 or 50 year long careers, I will always maintain that that is what the people want as a matter of convenience to be on the side that's winning. It is truly that simple.

...terrorists act the way they do not because they are crazy and evil, but because they believe they have legitimate grievances and that their cause is worth fighting for.
Please... Nobody does this shit for free...
If voters really wanted to do something about this, they would.
Sorry...

As always, follow de Monet...
What, robbing banks from the inside? I suppose it works everywhere.

So in other words, Reagan didn't start this mess.

Fuck you. I don't believe it then.. Or it's just better to assume the worst, that they all give up your info while putting up a show of 'resistance'.
Whatever... This is what you people voted for so maybe you should redirect your feeble outrage.
It worked, more or less, for a little while.
More or less during the revolutionary war. As soon as the papers were signed the party was over.

You're making a good argument against the concept of free will :-)
