You are missing the prime principality of the matter. The guy is human scum, pure and simple. He knows that he is out to scam people and he doesn't give a moment's consideration about anybody but himself. He doesn't care who he inconveniences or who he scams.
What you fail to see is that it's not what he's done in and of itself, so much as what sort of person he is for having done it. There are enough people in the world right about now. One less piece of shit would do the world better!
This might seem off topic, but I like how being American has become synonymous with "wasteful and willful negligence" as well as corporatism and greed.
You make a rather valid point, in that, many an unsavory attitude is considered American and basically popular. And when you look at the heart of the matter, this ties into a root cause: stupidity is popular.
Think about it. How cool is it to call it as you see it when somebody has a completely retarded belief? My friend's wife believes in fairies (no shit) and of course, it's considered rude if I laugh at the matter, or worse yet, if I were to challenge her beliefs in any shape or form (a proper debate would be out of the question!).
An offshoot of this, as you alluded to, is that calling people on their abysmally stupid spending habits would also be rude. I get people that come to me with their money problems and then turn around and attack my audacious lack of "having fun" or "living life" after I point out the flaws in their financial habits. How did they think I managed to stockpile all sorts of money on middle-class wages? It's like they think I have some magical way of fixing their finances that will allow them to continue spending negligently!
I think Bill Engvall was right... stupid people need to wear signs or something.
Its easier to plunk down $2000 instead of wiping the computer clean.
You wouldn't happen to know anyone like that, would you? I could really help them, you know.
I can magically summon an exact copy of their computer without the bugs and even bless it with protective spells to keep further spyware off. All I have to do is take it home and sacrifice their old computer to the mystic gods of computing. I'll need about $1000 for spell components, of course, but this will amount to considerable savings.
I also have some magic beans that are a really hot item these days. They might be interested in these as well as my services.
No really, I'm a bit confused. You've got Bush and Cheney as bad guys and Kerry and Edwards as good guys. Okay. This would suggest you lean left. But then you throw Saddam and Bin Laden in as good guys and things really aren't making sense. Are you suggesting Bin Laden and Saddam are innocent victims of our current administration?
If this is the case, I think you are taking the 'enemy of my enemy' premise a bit far in aligning yourself with folk far more malicious than anyone in the Bush administration. Most likely, the only people who would be interested in your edit of Star Wars would be terrorists, anti-western religious fanatics and those who support them (as you seem to).
I'm pretty rusty on programming and haven't done anything in years, but I'm wondering: is there anything new in the way of some sort of a structure that meets arrays and linked lists halfway? Sort of a dynamic array with the flexibility of linked lists and ease of arrays?
While internet access is doubtful for this guy, he's certain to have a snail mail jail address. If only we could get it and post it on the web... now THAT would be justice!

I'm not obsessed with the game, but I rather like it. Why?
1. I dig the vehicles. 2. Plenty of snipe space in places like Blood Gulch. 3. Decent look and feel.
I champion gameplay above all. I don't give a damn about the storyline. And since you mention fighting "hoards of monsters", I'm wondering if you've played it in a LAN party? I played single player for about 10-15 minutes before getting bored and quitting... it appears that you liked the game even better than I in this regard.
I tried AOL once for some free access and had no problems at all with cancelling. Perhaps you lack the mocking tone that I used when talking to the rep?
Next time, try asking the rep why on earth you should stick with AOL and then proceed to attack with counterpoints. Eventually they will read something in their script and when you call them on it, they will stumble. I recall the rep mentioning a revolutionary "7 layers of firewall protection" or something of the sort. When I asked what in the hell he was talking about and started getting technical, of course he didn't have a clue.
Se if you turn around the frustration factor and sound like you're having fun at their expense, they'll probably be more likely to want to hurry up and get you cancelled so they don't have to deal with you instead of the other way around.
You know, come to think of it, Marvel was smart to make an Invisible Girl. I'd imagine an Invisible Boy probably wouldn't get around to much 'super-heroing'.

Sucker. Here's the real scoop. (Assuming Army)
Your assumption is incorrect. 2E2 is Air Force. And it's a rather cozy job.
Be afriad. Be very afraid.
Does this mean you've stopped buying your tinfoil from Walmart?

Imagine the torments you would have to undergo if every single wrong you have ever done in your life had to be repaid in kind.
What is it you've done to people that would make karmic justice such a torment? Are you that much of an asshole?
Personally, I wish the whole world was filled with duplicate of myself. It'd be mucho awesome.
Justice as retribution is only ever advocated by hypocrites, because all of us have committed offenses against others.
Uh, no. How about it being advocated by people who are actually decent?
And Darl is that one Peon who is trying to repair it at the same time!
Oh, I see...
You certainly didn't capture the humor of the original comment.

In the early days of Apple versus Microsoft we had a real culture war, command line versus GUI. Windows won.
Isn't this statement misleading? It makes it sound like Apple was stuck in command line while MS forged ahead with GUI.
