The US doesn't make anything the world wants except for software and entertainment and weaponry...hmm...where have I heard this before?
Anyway, Bush knows our economy is shit even though he lies and says otherwise. It's propped up by a circle-jerk of 'service providing' that people here can't really afford. The only real revenue stream is selling copywritten content.
It's all about the dollars....just like occupying Iraq.
It's a sad time to be a citizen of the USA, but we will get these scumbags out and try to get lesser scumbags who won't be quite as obnoxious and damaging to our ideals.
Even the most corrupt tax-and-spend liberal couldn't piss away over a trillion dollars on abject failure in the space of 7 years.
If you think Linux on PC hardware can be just as stable or scalable as AIX on IBM hardware...that's just silly. I mean, you could then argue that Windows with the right hardware, software and support can be as stable as Linux, right?
I mean, it's not like there is a deposit fee like with beer cans. What would someone gain by putting extra water in their motor oil?
I think the seller and the manufacturer of these products need to pay for their reclemation no matter how many assholes we have trying to mess with the system. Jerks contaminating the tank are part of the cost of doing business.
But yet they expect me to pay my taxes! The failures of government seems like a red herring here. The government forbids citizens from doing many things that criminals do anyway.
I suppose you agree that Iran and North Korea deserve nuclear weapons, right? I mean, the NPFT is not perfectly enforced...look at Pakistan. So why should Iran and North Korea not have their own nuclear weapons?
So we give everyone a gun, and then the bad guys will think twice? What? That's insanity man...check out Iraq...an armed and polite society!
People still murder even though they know there is the possiblity of the death penalty. Your idea requires that the perp be in a rational state of mind before embarking....I propose that this is NOT the case. Witness how many of these mass murderers suicided at the end...do you think that they were worried about dying?! Do you think they might not go on the rampage if they thought that their high score would be kept low by armed people shooting back? Do you think that the average US gun owner has the skills and training to avoid killing and injuring other bystanders?!
IKEA started this program for free, but you do know that auto parts companies did NOT want to accept old oil, right? The government forced them to do so. I suspect WalMart and HomeDepot, being American-owned will do jack and shit until legislation forces their hand.
...of CFLs being a dangerous source of mercury. The fact is, that old style tubes in landfills comprise more 'dangerous mercury' than every CFL ever created.
Mercury is bad yes, but this is a non-issue...there was no out-cry over the tube flouros. There were no discernable effects from the much higher rates of mercury in those tubes, why should there be from the CFLs? It smells to me like this is the work of an anti-earthist who wants to save a few nickles.
If you buy the cheap ones at department stores, you will be disappointed. Go to a lighting specialist and pay a bit more.
I find this scare-mongering over mercury to be amusing. Have you ever broken an old-school tube flouro? You know, the ones with 10 to 100 times the mercury of modern Compact Flouro bulbs? Yeah.
There certainly are copies of the Bible and other religious texts in public school libraries. Sorry to burst your "I'm a poor oppressed religionist" bubble.
We need more protests. Where are the people protesting the reduction of Habeus Corpus that allows a citizen to be imprisioned w/o trial indefinately on the whim of the President? What about the no-paper-trail spying? What about the use of torture? All these acts were used to demean the USSR when I grew up in the 80s. Only godless commies wouldn't let you get a trial...only evil soviets spy on their citizens...
The generation that taught me to hate these afore mention 'tools' of government is the now piss-pants-scared generation willing to give it all up in order to feel secure.
So yeah...more protests would be good. We can arm everyone and then see how an 'armed society is a polite society'.
Then consensus would be needed to get ANYTHING done. I mean, it's not like we don't have enough laws already...this system could help curb the 'look at me' laws passed to make a politician look 'proactive' but which don't do anything really new.
Well, kinda affordable. Been out of the loop since new expenses have frozen my multi-CPU fetish at a dual Athlon MP. Nice to know that when I get some cash I can still put together a multi-chip system without paying $2000 for a mobo.
They STILL have problems keeping the power on for more than a few hours a day. I'm so tired of these cheerleading articles praising the beautiful new paint on the outside of the house, while the foundation crumbles to dust.
You'll just let the government keep that money, eh? Somehow I doubt that.
Let me explain again...your breeding is not necessary to keep the country running. Immigration is what we need...because native Americans won't work for a sustainable wage. Since we don't need your breeding, we shouldn't be giving you money via the tax code to raise children.
Why should I work hard so low-buck chumps can get 'Child Tax Crdits' and 'Earned Income Credits' to finance their spawn? Your child, your problem. We have plenty of immigrants who don't make ridiculous child-related demands on society like native americans do. They're willing to live a lesser lifestyle to have their children. You're pricing yourself out of the market.
Slashdot Mirror
Since when is knowledge of lawyer jargon needed to make a point about US exports? Thanks for the tip tho.
They'd demand the keys under the auspices of a recently passed bullshit law. If you don't give them up, you're jailed for contempt of court.
Be nice...because they might name you a terrorist and then you magically lose your habeus corpus rights!
But, we're safe from terrorists!

The Swiss keep their weapons locked up AT HOME in case the nation is attacked, not as a system of defense against other citizens.
Do you support Iran and North Korea in their pursuit of nuclear arms? They want the ability to shoot back if some nuclear armed state attacks them.

Seems tenuous.
Nobody went on a rampage in England...killing 33 college students and wounding even more.
Kind of hard to do that with a knife, or a bow and arrow.

He's advocated violent action for years. Oh, but he's not a student in a school.

Ol' Condi Rice couldn't negotiate herself out of a paper bag...she's got three speeds of beligerance.
It's just that nothing happens to them. Often they are released back into the community. Even if you dumped them over the border, they come back.
This ID card will not help with keeping illegal aliens out of the country because we don't DO anything when they are caught.
It WILL allow the government more control and easier suveilance of all citizens. This I cannot abide.
No...that's not cool at all. I would turn that 'feature' off so fast...
The state would have to shut down without the federal tax dollars being redistributed there.

Montana got $1.58 back for every $1.00 contributed in Federal Taxes! (http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/266.ht
The Federal government knows Montana is it's bitch.
