Uh, that illustrates the Dixie Chicks' stupidity quite appropriately, thanks.
Yes, stupidity is being illustrated here, but not by the Dixie Chicks. George W. Bush moved to Midland, Texas, when he was 2 years old. Most people are going to identify with the state they spent the vast majority of their lives in, not the one that they have no memory of living in because they were a baby.
Nobody kicked Carlin's ass because he didn't have a radio show on major broadcast networks.
so what if he's for a same sex school?

There are women-only universities, health clubs, vacations, domestic violence shelters, and hotels. Why is female-exclusive ok, but male-exclusive bad? Did anyone else notice the hypocrisy of Martha Burke, head of the Council of *Womens* Organizations, demanding that the Augusta golf club open its membership to women?

Well if you want to argue by anecdote, I haven't heard of very many men killing pregnant women and then tearing the babies out of the women's stomachs to raise as their own.

Well said. Women seem to be equal to men...except when they're not.
Of course, because feminism isn't really about equality, it's about making things better for women. Compare the number of women demanding the right to vote at the start of the 20th Century, and the number of women demanding "equality" in the 60's and 70's, to the number of women who insisted that the draft apply to both sexes.

Women often underperform in co-ed enviornments.
Bullshit. Women are enrolling and graduating at rates far higher then men. It's not uncommon to find a 60/40 split in enrollment.
Then the anal retentive pedants will have something else to do than chase kids off their lawn. The rest of us, that are capable of using one word to mean more than one thing, will get by ok.
And still our troops are exploited on a daily basis for political gain. Whether it be a bold politician, such as John Mccain, advocating support for the surge in the midst of chaos, a weak politician, such as Nancy Pelosi
McCain is bold and Pelosi is weak, eh? How about you have a nice, warm cup of STFU.
You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own set of facts.
Some nut job in Iraq blows up 30 people and it's a civil war. Some nut job in VA kills 30 people and it's a nut job.
Because we'd need a hundred VA shootings a day to come close to the level of violence in Iraq? You're comparing an isolated incident to daily car bombings and attacks from death squads? Just how stupid are you, really?
For the most part the large majority of Iraqi territory is doing very well thank you.
Bullshit. You're more likely to win the lottery than find an Iraqi family that hasn't lost someone to violence. There are women who haven't taken off robes of morning since the war started - before they can take them off, another family member gets killed.
But Islamofacists need to be in control, have everyone toe their line, so they kill to terrorize.
If the Neoconfacists hadn't fucked everything up in the first place, it wouldn't be a problem.
The trooper firing didn't KNOW the Iraqi wasn't lying on an armed grenade or concealing a pistol he might have been trying to reach for. He did not KNOW he was unarmed.
Still irrelevant.
Shooting questionable enemy is historically a normal part of mopping up by any force, because taking the safe tack makes military sense.
And in recent history, the U.S. has shown great relish in attacking military and economic targets. Guess what the Pentagon and the World Trade Center are? We don't get to make one set of rules for us and one set for everybody else. Same applies to torture and indefinite detentions.
People who say that Windows 2000 is better than XP are either ignorant or incredibly stupid. XP does everything that 2K did and more. If you don't like the extra eyecandy, you can turn it off and make the system look just like 2K. In addition, XP is far more stable, compatible, supported and faster than 2K ever was.
Lets see: no, no, no, no, no,no, no and no. The only two things that XP has over 2k is instant user switching and a firewall that came with a service pack. Everything else is straight up bloat.
We're not hypocrites, you're just an idiot. "We don't want to be nagged to death" is not remotely the same as "don't take any precautions against an easy-to-make mistake". Get a clue.
1) you can't tell she's even drinking 2) there are no kids in the photo 3) it's perfectly legal for her to have a drink
They might as well punish her for promoting adolescent promiscuity, when they found out that she had kids, and thus, had to have had sex at least once.
Bunch of terrorists only marginally better then PETA.
1) make a caricature of an organization you don't like 2) find anecdotes to support your arguments, and apply them to everyone in said organization 3) attack the caricature like a pinata 4) ??? 5) profit!
I could make a caricature of Republicans as mule fucking, abortion clinic bombing, racists that believe that the Sun revolves around the Earth. This would of course be ridiculous, but you see this line of reasoning in attacks on PETA all the time, as well as unions, Greenpeace, trial lawyers, etc etc. Those with a mad hate-on for PETA are just as irrational as they make PETA out to be.
"Some" is very vague. It could mean 2 songs in their entire catalog. Mac fans like to believe it means most of the songs.
"Apple fans" is very vague. It could mean one or two people in the entire computer using population. Anti-Apple fanboys like to believe it means most people who use Apple's products.
Just because the Bible mentions those things doesn't mean it endorses those things.
No different than Grand Theft Auto, gangster rap, Ozzy's "Suicide Solution", the movie Kids, Harry Potter, etc etc etc etc, but that hasn't stopped bible thumpers from trying to ban them.
I got through high school just fine by not bringing attention to myself. You go, you put in your hours, and you leave. The people who usually get picked on most are the ones who make it easy and ask for the attention.
Bullshit. Kids that do that can be the most bullied, not the least.
Frankly, I'm looking forward to all the Apple Fanboys getting their ass handed to them over the iPhone.
How much space is left on your Nomad, Taco? A 4 gig nano will set you back $200, a lot of decent phones $200-$300. $200 + $300 = $500. The visual voicemail alone will sell a lot of iPhones. These things are going to sell like hot cakes, so I hope you like the taste of crow.

One major reason is population density. How many miles of cable need to be strung per user in the Netherlands compared to the USA?
That would explain why you have crappy choices in the Dakotas, but not in major metropolitan areas like Boston, Atlanta, NYC, etc.
Languages evolve. Do you also cringe whenever you are reminded of the fact that we are no longer grunting at eachother while living in caves?

This would mean my local teleco could still charge $60 a month for 512 kpbs DSL, but at least they wouldn't be able to advertise it as "broadband".

Think about it for a second, it's night....late at night. How many people do you know work on farm equipment in the dark late at night?
Don't know many farmers, do ya?
When you can't tell the enemy from the guys that aren't the enemy bad shit happens.
Which any semi-informed individual could have told the warmongering chickenhawks, if they'd stopped to ask.
Your either a POW, a suspected criminal, or a civilian. There is no fourth category that allows you to strip all rights from an individual.
