...we'll release the virus into the population and all the fundamentalists who won't let their children take Guardasil and the AIDS vaccine will watch their genetic line dead-end! That's what you wanted to hear from this god-less progressive thinker, right? Silly trolls.
I wasn't born poor, but my parents were. I've plenty of stories from them about how they grew up in the projects in NYC, and how their neighbors kept having kids despite having so little money that those neighbors would burn fires in ashcans to heat their apartments. The scum and trash they shared these tax-payer funded buildings with would simply destroy everything they could. They moved in when the building first went up and within a year the elevators were iffy and there were practically no working hallway lights...all smashed and vandalized.
Believe me, I may have not been poor, but I have an understanding of what it is like.
As to your 'economy of processed food', I would call it a false economy. Consider the salt and preservatives in these meals. Isn't it worth your time to cook up something healthy?
You want to piss off and psych out your opponent, so you use the words you think are most likely to upset them. I'm amused that you think 'fag' is OK but 'nigger' isn't.
They have to, there are way too many laws already. Ever wonder why the guy on the side of the road only gives out speeding and seatbelt tickets, but nothing for following too close or unsafe lane change? They're told to concentrate on certain laws. The Police already decide whether to give someone a ticket or a warning. What was your point?
'both sides of the coin' is supposed to mean that both parties have supporters who would rather the government told them what to think and do, so they don't have it.
Handwringing by asshole parents over DUI deaths and 'house parties' where some misguided parent lets other children drink alcohol has resulted in this ban. What happened to punishing only the person who broke the law? It'll come soon to your state, just like the blanket smoking bans and now the trans-fat bans.
The system is unjust, and getting worse. I simply obey the laws I agree with, and disobey the ones I don't agree with. If the chance of getting caught is high, and the penalty stiff enough, I MIGHT not do the illegal things...but then again I might.
Can't let my 18-year-old son have a beer with dinner? Fuck you, bust me. Can't trade DVDs in person with my friends? Fuck you, bust me. Government using misleading statistics to incite fear (and then over reaching legislature) for issues like drunk driving and terrorism? I simply make misleading statements to police when given the opportunity. Alas, it isn't often I get that chance since I moved out of the city.
The myth that the common man can become 'rich' in the United States is just that...a myth. It happens extremely rarely, and most people who are rich now came from rich parents.
They'll claim the unitelligable patterns of encrypted data indicate that you are a terrorist. Or that your traffic was routed through countries known to harbor terrorists. Of course, explaining how they know this is a state secret and if it comes out in trial it would weaken the USA's protection against terrorist. Therefore, you don't get to defend yourself very well. In addition, they'll simply seize all your assets anyway.
Or...leaving terrorism out of it...they'll claim an anonymous tipster informed them that you were dealing drugs or kiddie porn. Once accused of one of these crimes...good luck clearing your name!
Please, the conservative authorotarian politicians took away plenty of freedoms in the name of 'Protection from Terrorism' and 'Protection from Drug Users'.
They all do it, because there are plenty of Americans on both sides of the coin who crave to be told what to do.
Now it is the Southern and MidWestern states which benefit from the federal government squeezing the Northern/Coastal states for tax money to re-distribute to the Southern and Midwestern states!
Perhaps the North should rise up, buy our food from South America, and stop giving welfare to states that can't compete!/partly kidding
My roles are often architect and developer and I love these tools for finding a quick and soon-to-occur 15-30 minute timeslot for conversations which cannot be handled over instant messaging.
Shit, I want one to set up at home as we have one car and it would make scheduling usage of the vehicle much easier.
It's easy for the average clod to understand that the CEO gives millions to poor and hungry people. It's hard for that clod to understand the sneaky business practices, and upgrade cycle that brings little but costs lots.
At least, not to me or anyone else I know. Nobody wants advertisements sent to their residence unrequested. Now the LAW might say these unsolicited advertisements are ok...but we all know that the law != justice.
I don't like junk mail in my mailbox that I have to sort and recycle. I don't like junk mail in my inbox that I have to inspect and delete.
Spam sucked in the 90s, and it sucks harder now. It sucks so hard now that people ( like the parent ) are waxing nostalgic about subject lines that clearly spelled out "Increase you penis size!" in all Roman characters!
I am befuddled that the American People would not vote for Hillary because her husband cheated on her in the White House and he might get to go back to the white house. I'm assuming you mean Republican voters, right? The same voters who re-elected Bush in 2004 despite his lies to them?
Parents should not have the right to raise their children 'no matter how much some may disagree with your parenting tactics.'
How about parents who want to teach their childred from birth that religion X is th eonly true way and that everyone else is a sinner and needs to be converted? What about parents who teach their children to be sexist? racist?
Until we can control who breeds and who doesn't breed, laws regulating parenting tactics will continue to grow more numerous in response to irresponsible parents. Or, we recgonize that our conceit that 'all life is precious, especially innoncent children' is a pipe-dream with no connection to reality.
...then the US people would rather have a man who lied to us about potential for Iraq to harm the USA, and then lied to us about having a plan to deal with the known-issue of sectarian strife......than a man who cheated on his wife.
If this is true, then I am disgusted by what the USA has become.

You smell like one of those people who is OK with the USA using torture...becauase at least we don't chop their heads off! Freakin' moral relativism.
You know, an ass load! Duh!
Mortgage is a luxury. Owning a house is a luxury.

In five years, when I finally buy into HD television and content, there should be an assload of free content out there to download.
With that much money coming in, a single person or even a couple could afford to eat better.
Did these 'working poor' have children when they couldn't afford to have children?
Did these 'working poor' get raped on a mortgage because they really couldn't afford to own a home but wanted one anyway?
Did these 'working poor' simply not get educated on how to eat affordably?
Buy a whole freakin' chicken. Buy the 30lb bag of rice. Buy the huge bags of frozen store-brand veggies. There you go.
I don't care if Microsuck won't release a DST fix for W2k, I'll be running that sucker until the Civilization series requires an OS upgrade.
Therefore, I've got a few backup copies of my w2k pro install disk, and I will be putting the original in a safe deposit box at the bank next week.
I didn't see a damn thing in XP that warranted the time spent, much less the money spent, on upgrading. Vista is no different.

I don't think they would fall under this ban. Up until a few years ago, HIDs were even more energy efficient than flourescents!

Fools who truely believe they will live forever after death are much more likely to blow themselves up for their imagined reward in 'heaven'.
You don't want our children to grow up to be terrorists, do you?
