I had a much bigger salary, the government had to leave a paper trail if it would spy on me, and we had yet to attack the wrong nation in revenge for a terrorist attack!
Are you calling me a 'quitter' or something? The country is what the people are. The people in this country hate gays and foreigners and non-Christians...they fear whatever the government tells them to fear and they oppress, insult, assault and ostracize their fellow citizens who exercise the freedoms that the army is supposedly dying for in Iraq.
I'm just a dirty, liberal socialist who wants to steal welfare dollars money from white trash families who get the Earned Income Credits and Child Credits for their un-wanted spawn.
Nah. I'm gonna get all the money I can and then let you authoritarian god-believing hateful religious low-wage-earners go down with the ship.
There are plenty of racist little burgs in this country that would happily outlaw black people if not for state and federal courts pressuring them otherwise.
Mainly, that the punishment must fit the crime. 40 days suspension for doing what that kid did? Bullshit. I hope he sues, gets a huge pay-day, and the school board and the town feel the budget pinch for years to come.
I was born and raised here. As an introverted theist nerd, I quickly realized that this country only cares about me because I can perform a valuable service that most cannot. If this whole places shits the bed, I'll be sad but not that sad. All the 'high points' of the USA have slipped down the drain over the last 10-20 years in the name of fear of terrorists and love of gods. *shrug* These days 'citizenship' is like 'employment'...you need it, you want it, but you probably don't have a strong bond to the company/country because your loyalty is rarely reciprocated.
If they are at risk of re-offending, don't release them.
It is really fucking lame to let these guys out as if they had 'paid their debt' like any murderer, rapist or thief and then treat them as second-class citizens. The murderers don't have people telling them where to live! Thieves don't have to sign up for a 'watch list' and tell people when they move, because they might steal again!
What's worse? The death of a human or the sexual abuse of a human? Since I don't believe in that nonsense about an 'afterlife', I must say killing is worse than sexual abuse. Way worse. Way WAY worse.
I've had enough of my rights infringed upon in the name of the 'innocent defenseless children' so that dog won't hunt. Try another angle, brotha!
I hope you too die a painful death for supporting a piece of shit simply because he sports a title. If we can't critique an awful president during a war he lied to start, we could be at war forever. Here's to hoping someone you care about dies because of the Iraq invasion! Cheers, douchebag!
First we had to protect the precious children from boobs and pussies, and now we protect them from everything except violence.
I support these laws, it's sweet sweet revenge on the greedy, selfish and ignorant parents who TRIED to make society responsible for raising their children.
Maybe I'll go to 'family court' and point and laugh at all the parents losing custody of their children. Ha-ha! You wanted special privledges for shitting out babies? You got them and you've sown the wind...
My school (newhaven.edu) uses the 'blackboard' system. This allows professors to make hand-outs and other documents available to everyone without wasting paper. All my professors prefer to communicate through email.
This 'reconnect' fee policy will likely be sue-worthy.
Indeed, freedom means that the RIAA's memeber organizations do not have a secure line of income. Freedom means that you risk violence and attack because you do not spy on and restrict the actions of your people.
You have to pay for the service and the phone, then you need to remember to turn the damn thing on and off. Fuck that. I relish the convenience and privacy granted me by my landline. I have no delusions of being so desired that I must have 24x7 connectivity.
I don't speak on the telephone much. I prefer to either email/chat or meet my friends in person. My work allows me to communicate with email and chat as well. The pay-as-you-go phones were irritating with the requirement to keep track of minutes, and the minutes-per-month plans were way overpriced for what I needed. I don't give a shit about some crappy camera on my phone, or the ability to play a few MP3s when I own a good camera and a 40G iRiver.
My wife and I cancelled our cellphones a few months ago and have been saving at least $80 a month. A year of savings is going to let us go on vacation for a few more days next year.
The service is overpriced, and the gimmicks they use to justify that price do not appeal. I guess I'm a freak, but I'm a freak with $960 more to spend on vacation next year!
The car computer counts how often and for how long the fuel injectors are opened and factors in the injector flow rate and the distance traveled.
Pretty simple and effect. The one on my 9 year old VW still works great. If anything, it reads a bit high compared to calculations done with the Odometer and the gas pump. I suppose the injectors are flowing a bit less and must be opened longer for the same fuel delivery.

I thought that this was the case. Only 12% of the entire Military could consider themselves 'democrat' or 'liberal'.
I write letters with pen and paper, but so far to no avail.
I've shown up to anti-war and anti-Bush protests, to no avail.
I've decided to just 'go conservative' and do my best to work the system and to hell with anyone who isn't my friend or family.
Oh wait...that's right...six years out and the vast majority of goods shipped to the USA do not get checked!
Maybe if our shitty economy turned arround and we started exporting more than we import...this task would get done?

Oh yeah, THAT'S a real compelling feature...
Anyway, I just want music and iTunes is NOT a positive feature. With these vendors I can get all the function I want, and avoid the Apple Tax!
There are plenty of racist little burgs in this country that would happily outlaw black people if not for state and federal courts pressuring them otherwise.
Sometimes you gotta break a few eggs...
Avoiding 'cool' items means you can get the same function for less money.
This is a good thing.
OK, let him sue for a huge ammount, with the requirement that he give 90% to charity.
The real purpose is to punish the decision makers for being shit-bags, not to en-rich a troublemaker who was given a very un-just punish.
Mainly, that the punishment must fit the crime. 40 days suspension for doing what that kid did? Bullshit. I hope he sues, gets a huge pay-day, and the school board and the town feel the budget pinch for years to come.
How yah like that one, jerk-face?
Be they government employess, hired mercenaries, or Haliburton scum.
/yah douche
Kinda puts things in a different perspective, eh? Maybe the Iraq War isn't so bad after all
...yeah...

You truely are funny. Pray a little harder, douchebag, and maybe your crazy dreams about the Iraq Occupation will come true!

Driving a company car does not make the company liable for what the employee does in the car, that is why you buy insurance yah douche.
The political pressure placed on US attorneys before they were fired for resisting the pressure.
