The swastika has never had an innocuous meaning. The swastika is an evil sunwheel. The difference is that a swastika rotates counterclockwise. A sunwheel is a positive sign.
The SS armbands DID appropriate an innocuous symbol for an evil purpose. Hitler was really interested in Odhinnism and Norse mythology in general, but only so far as it could be used as a tool to enslave people's minds.
It is clear that the word Coke has been used to refer to way too many things for way too long for it to be protected by a copyright or any other intellectual property law. Coke is a form of coal, too.
Don't forget: Coca-Cola is named what it is because it originally contained cocaine. Did Coca-Cola copyright cocaine as well? I think not. I'm sure they would rather we didn't remember their origins in what is now an illegal drug.

According to an NPR story, Mr. Kubrick did the editing while he was still alive. "I promised the studio an R rating, and they are going to get an R rating."
Actually, it is NOT the law. The Motion Picture Association ratings system is a set of guidelines, not a part of U.S. law. You can't get arrested for going to a movie you don't aren't old enough for. The worst they can do (if you have at least bought a ticket to SOMETHING showing at the theater) is to make you go to the movie your ticket is for. If they should decide to eject you from the premises, they must refund the purchase price of the ticket!
I would be perfectly happy to abolish the postal service-- then maybe all those pesky bills would stop showing up. I mean, those people want money each and every month! It's a travesty!
... if we would see "@" instead of double-quotes, too, if it weren't so easy to see that difference. (Katz: turn off "Ignore words with numbers" or whatever is may be called in your spell-checking preferences and you will catch these!)
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, when typewriters didn't even have a "1" key and the double-quotes was shift-2, people led simpler lives....
So what you might have said, had sarcasm not been your bent, is:
-begin translation- Bless those black folks for being lazy and broke! And bless them for not trying to determine age-appropriate content for their children.
I don't want South Park on any channel! George Carlin's "Seven Words" should not be playing on every radio station. That would be FREEDOM. If those "immoral" people like it, they can turn on the TV and spend the rest of their lives outside their homes.

I hope that's not what you meant. Sarcasm isn't saying the opposite of what you mean, it is saying things you don't mean at all to make a point.
Oh, and I guarantee you that a pretty large percentage of those poor people you are referring to work a damn sight harder on a daily basis than 99.999% of the people who read this list (including me). And how many of them do you think get to do something they enjoy?
Also keep in mind that when we talk about the poor, we are referring to people who are actually trying. The people you might be thinking about are the indigent, who have no place in a capitalistic society.

I guess that needs to be corrected....
Jesus didn't go to high school. In fact, he didn't even know how to read! And he was a Palestinian!
Hey, I would visit on a daily basis. Be sure to post an announcement on Slashdot if you get something going....
I saw it, but I couldn't believe it.
This guy writes the same way he speaks.
The same sentence, rendered in formal English:
The writer composes in the same manner in which he speaks.
'Nuff said.
No, you both missed the point: it definitely is simultaneous, as well as instantaneous.
Our current computers are to quantum computers as M-80s are to cobalt bombs. No joke!
Times, they are a-changing....

Is NPR lying? Enquiring minds want to know!

Help stamp out and abolish redundancy!

I guess it finishes 0.6 clock cycles per second!

Too bad you can't do two polls at once. Not very many people have responded to the password poll, but a Futurama poll would tell the tale!
