I agree. I went to a poker party, and got trounced when I announced that I voted early and voted for Obama. The hilarity of it was a friend said she does nothing illegal, and so the gov't wiretapping doesn't bother her. She shut up when I mentioned that the gov't would frown on her use of ISOHunt for illegal movie downloads. As a native Texan, I am ashamed of the job Bush has done, and I fear more of the same from McCain. I have a problem with bailing out banks that are raping me with compound interest, a govt' that is more interested in what i am doing than I actually am interested, a tax system that punishes me more the harder I work, and rewards those that do not contribute to society. Possibly the worst part is that I am almost ashamed I served this country for six years as a US Marine. I hope my vote for Obama is a vote for real change.
If this happens, I pity the girl that rejects that cop with little mans syndrome, as her every movement will be tracked, with or without a warrant. How about that dude, Drew Peterson, a cop who's wife has "disappeared". I doubt he would bother with a warrant to track his wife. How about that angry mother that "claims" her kid was "abducted" by its father, because the divorce is not going her way? This is so wrong on so many levels... damn
No, it is not someones right to grow up and be worthless, dumbass.. That worthless person takes my tax dollars as welfare and jail expenses and prevents the kids that I raise not to be screw-ups from getting a decent education. That same worthless person carjacks my wife on her way to work.
I put my ass on the line to defend that Constitution, so dipshits like you can spout your ignorant liberal rhetoric. Civil liberties should be earned, not jut "given". Because you are in this country does not mean you deserve the protection of the Constitution. I bet the same subjects of this article fly a flag other than that of the US at their home.
I have been here since I was born. Dallas & Dallas County has the most corrupt, ill run municipal government in history. Where else can you have situations like this make the NY Times, but not the local news outlets? As long as we are on this, I wonder why we can put more laws and ordinances like this in place, but we cannot enforce our current immigration laws, which is one of the driving forces behind the need for this big brother mentality?
I had to go through the same thing to get my Insurance License. I believe it is federal law (SEC), since it would be really easy to abscond with lots of cash.
Texas is a right to work state. This sounds like a scare tactic more than anything else. Tell them best of luck, and countersue for defamation of character and mental anguish.. IANAL, but that would work for me.
How can anyone that reads/. support anything from $ony. Due to the whole root kit issue, I will stick with my PS2, and skip out on the PS3 entirely, since I have no need for any device on my network which will most likely spread the trojans and root kits $ony sees fit to include on their media. If the entire/. clan does that, it will have a profound impact on $ony. sometimes it is best to take the lesser tech than to allow one company to control the entire chain. The mass media isn't getting involved, since it is owned by the same evil coprorations that want the DRM encoded disks. I will buy HD-DVD simply because it is not $ony.
OK, so I rambled on...
I personally see the relevance as, if they can take your single most prized possession, then no other freedom is left to the individual. They are already planning to track you with your national(RF)ID card, not to mention your cellphone has GPS functionality. Oh, and that is tied to your SSN, so the Gov't can easily track anyone they want. That would sure be relevant to/. Aside from that, how is a football stadium or a hotel better for the common good than a neighborhood? None of the persons being displaced will be able to afford to enjoy any of these "common good" venues. Hell, I make good money and cannot afford to take my family to a football game, even in the cheap seats...Oh, and for those of you that are something other than Christian, look out... next up will be an official religion.. but still no official language
Get fucking real dipshit... the poster is only pointing out that in the case of dubya, it is a matter of live by the sword, die by the sword... (sub Bible for sword, and you will understand). dubya claims to be a Christian, but he seems to be more of a fascist to me... he makes me ashamed of being a Texan...
I have near perfect vision, but my wife... she had hers done at a place called Key Whitmann in Dallas. She says it was the best thing she has done. Only a couple of follow-ups were necessary, and she was seeing perfectly as I drove her home. My neighbor went to one of the guys that advertises low prices on the radio, he is now blind in his left eye. My wifes surgery was twice as expensive as his, but I think the higher price was worth it.
What happened to the GOP's Contract with America? What happened to Term Limits? He as been in office since 1976. Twenty eight years by my math. Is it any surprise that SCO is based in Utah? I do pity the upstanding persons in Utah, and I think if I were with the mormon church, I would excommunicate Orrin Grant Hatch for bringing shame to my church, and having no moral turpitude.
either way, AutoZone has deeper pockets than SCO can ever dream of...and there is no way IBM is going to let one of their bigger customers go this alone. In addition, unless there was a security breach, how does SCO know exactly what AutoZone is running?
I am a SYSADMIN! And the problem I see is a lack of leadership among programmers. I see amazing programmers with ideas that would help my company profit in many ways, only to be told to "Do your job", which does not include making the jobs of sysadmins and programmers easier, but give the managers something more to argue about in their meetings, as well as something to hold against their programmers for not applying "integrative thinking"
Sorry...but even though I love Mandrake and think is it the finest distro out there, when their gov't puts my brothers in arms lives in jeopardy, I have to say "No Thanks" Looks like I will be waiting for RedHat
hmmm.... concrete...bodies...since they would not be exposed to air, why would they decay? Does that mean at somepoint your uncle that irritated the mob boss would eventually lose his cement shoes?
but...what if you are denied a job because you have bogus info on your credit report? or, like me, you have a common name? You are guilty till you prove yourself innocent...then the position is gone. In addition, divorces, deaths, and other naturally occuring phenomena cause bad credit... does the fact a woman has never worked, raised 3 kids, then hubby leaves her for his secretary not deserve a job? She doesn't have a bad credit rating...she has NO credit rating...which can be much worse than bad credit.
No, Unions are for political jackasses and for themselves... They do not benefit the worker. You ever tried to file a grievance? More paperwork than your taxes, and in most cases you never get updates, let alone resolution. Drive by the union hall sometime, and look at the cars in the reserved spaces. As you look out the window of your 78 chevette, you will see lots of Lexus and BMW's. Those are your union dues at work... As for Certs, my MCSE got my no degree'd ass in with a big three consultancy four years ago. I am leaving that company for a Bank with better bene's, all because of my MS credentials. I am not bowing at the altar of BillG, but I do bow to the almighty Dollar. Labiator
Isn't Prodigy owned by SBC (Southwestern Bell)? So that would make this Big Telco vs Big Telco. Kinda like Pennzoil vs Texaco. Sue your competitor into oblivion
I wish this worked for me. I get about 3 calls a night. One night AT&T called 3 separate times. I now just hang up after asking who they are and telling them I will not buy anything who resorts to telemarketing.
