  1. Re:When will we realize... on Arizona H-1B Workers Advised to Carry Papers At All Times · · Score: 1

    "When will we realize that immigrants, "legal" and otherwise do not cause problems but rather raise the standard of living for -everyone-?"

    Nice asserted conclusion.

  2. Re:Leadership? PFFT!! on Are We Failing To Prepare Children For Leadership In the US? · · Score: 1

    Leadership is a concept as old as recorded history.

    "they can participate effectively in decentralized groups."

    Describe your vision of participation and how that differs from leadership.

  3. Re:you're all worthless and weak on Are We Failing To Prepare Children For Leadership In the US? · · Score: 1

    Part of making tough people is not coddling the slower zebra.

    That's following Nature's example, and it works.

  4. Re:Ugh, this makes me mad. on Nvidia Engineer Asks How the Company Can Improve Linux Support · · Score: 1

    Great!

    When bad companies self-damage, everyone else wins.

  5. Re:They are even dumber than they seem. on Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution · · Score: 2

    If you are of a superstition, you enable ALL such superstitionists thereby even if you personally disown them.

    Christianity, Islam, Judaism are simple. Either you are a fundamntalist or your are a hypocrite making your own rules.

    There is no reason to believe in God, so how dare you defend it?

  6. Re:They are even dumber than they seem. on Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution · · Score: 1

    Christians have no evidence for their God.

    Prove it exists and I'll recant now and kiss his/her/its Noodly Appendage.

    No proof? Then ALL believers are in the same boat enabling Fred Phelps and other loons.

  7. Re:They are even dumber than they seem. on Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution · · Score: 1

    ALL religion is arguably delusional because there is no evidence to support it.

    Atheism isn't based on ignorance. Your asserted conclusion otherwise is part of your game and I'm calling it out. There being no evidence to support Theism, Atheism is logical.

    "Only the mystic has Truth (due to experience.)"

    Another asserted conclusion. "Evidence now" or fuck off.

  8. Re:They are even dumber than they seem. on Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution · · Score: 1

    "OK, seriously. Religion is what you believe. Mythology is what "unenlightened" people that believe differently than you believe."

    Absent proof, BOTH are scornworthy and insupportable.

  9. Re:Was Jesus riding Nessie? on Fundamentalist Schools Using "Nessie" To Disprove Evolution · · Score: 4, Insightful

    At the core, Fundies are pure White Trash and never forget it. They wallow in their degenerate backwardness like the Taliban. They are perfect examples of what religious thinking produces.

  10. Re:This needs to stop on How the Militarization of the Internet is Changing Warfare · · Score: 1

    That Genie has left the bottle. Any country, or any INDIVIDUAL, can play.

    The bright spot is that it will COERCE immune responses and we'll have harder systems in the end.

  11. Don't regulate the "firearms", regulate BEHAVIORS. on Fires Sparked By Utah Target Shooters Prompt Evacuations · · Score: 1

    We don't ban cars because of car accidents, but if you negligently run someone over there are punishments for that.

    It's not a Second Amendment issue.

  12. Re:Incoming... on Georgia Apple Store Refuses To Sell iPad To Iranian-American Teen · · Score: 0, Troll

    "Raw, unbridled racism from Apple"

    What "race" is "Iranian"?

  13. Re:Meh! on U.S. Gas Prices Continue To Fall · · Score: 1

    The prices on the West Coast are the choice of the voters, for good or ill.

  14. Re:Office Starter ISN'T "worthless garbage" on Microsoft Phasing Out Office Starter Edition · · Score: 1

    You'll still buy their OS, so no loss to them if they dump Starter.

    If you need backup copies, torrent sites will provide.

  15. We need demand destruction. on U.S. Gas Prices Continue To Fall · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Demand destruction benefits the US enormously. We now export gasoline and now care about fuel economy.

    Use less fuel, keep more of your money.

  16. Re:Good plan. on Cyanide-Producing GM Grass Linked To Texas Cattle Deaths · · Score: 1

    Their hunger is due to the deliberate and relentlessly sustained refusal to control their birth rates.

    Nature ruthlessly punishes "overgrazing" no matter the species.

  17. Beats actual work. on Apple Store Employees Soak Up the Atmosphere, But Not Much Cash · · Score: 1

    Go hump boxes on a loading dock or be a parts puller at a salvage yard, then tell us how bad the Apple workers have it.

  18. NOW they'll get off my lawn! on Cyanide-Producing GM Grass Linked To Texas Cattle Deaths · · Score: 4, Funny

    Also:

    "Moo!" (thud)

  19. Re:There are some REAL problems in the world. on Sexy Female Scientist Video Draws Fire · · Score: 1

    "How about we look at those real problems first before we get our panties in a bunch over something so trivial?"

    Because when we get involved in trying to break up the locals fun, they kill our folks in addition to each other!

    I've been watching the global circus for decades, and now I not only don't care about the vermin going hacky-stabby on each other, it amuses me and I view them with bottomless contempt.

    If YOU want to intervene, join Doctors Without Borders or some other group with huge balls and no sense.

  20. Bring a notebook or netbook. on Ask Slashdot: No-Install Programming At Work? · · Score: 2

    Problem solved.

  21. Re:No television then? on Ask Slashdot: Good Low Cost Free Software For Protecting Kids Online? · · Score: 1

    TV has always been a toxic push-content stupidity pump.

  22. Re:Teaching kids the ability to discern on Ask Slashdot: Good Low Cost Free Software For Protecting Kids Online? · · Score: 1

    Put the PC where you can watch him.

    If you can't do that, then disconnect him or have a minimal whitelist of sites he can visit.

    "Localism" benefit NO ONE.

  24. Re:lose track of all of them on Bryson Crash Reveals Threat of Headless Government · · Score: 1

    "Because we're supposed to be a civilized nation that doesn't kill people for difference of political opinion?"

    That supposition ignores there is zero hope for peaceful change. All we have is the illusion elections matter.

    Vote for Obamny 2012! Yay!

    I'm much too comfortable to take up the hopeless fight for a backward, degenerate American public I despise more every year, but would certainly have found it amusing if Flight 93 had drilled Congress and sent those pieces of shit to a toasty demise. There is no reason to give a fuck.
