>>>Black people were not considered people then, just animals and at the time animals had no rights
Careful. In 8 of the original 14 States (I'm including the Vermont Republic), blacks were considered human beings with rights equal to whites. And in 2 states even women had rights equal to a man. It is a mistake to look back at 1789 and conclude that all the states were like the backward slave south. When slaves escaped they fled to the more-progressive Federalist/Republican north since that's where they could be free.

I like how you think. I have a massive lust and can't wait to rule all (women). Or maybe I'll just settle for OWNing them all (a terabyte nudie collection).
It always amuses me that people don't want to give-out "1" on their reviews, but gladly throw-out tons of 10s. The scores are hyperinflated as a result.
I hand out tons of 1's. I figure if the author or movie director wasted my finite time, then they don't deserve any better, and it sounds like this book deserved a "1". I give "6" for stuff I enjoyed but will never read or watch again, and "7" for things I plan to review a second time. I never go higher than that unless it's something I truly love. I gave Babylon 5 and DS9 a "9".
What point are you trying to make? That killing foreign soldiers is a crime? What bullshit. For example: The moment the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, they all forfeited their right to life (upto the day they surrendered). War is hell but to just rollover and refuse to fight when foreigners are shooting at you, or bombing you, is stupid. The president has the authority to order the military to kill these foreign persons from the moment war is declared, or the country invaded, until the end of the war.
>>>In the US, I'd be a lot more concerned if the President were not the one with final say over what the military is up to.
What you SHOULD be concerned about is the President already ordered the execution of 3 U.S. citizens, including an underage minor. I didn't realize the death penalty could be applied without a right to trial (or against juveniles... I thought they were exempt). We live in dangerous days.
>>>this is registered to an individual who worked in 2009 as a San Francisco Art Institute teaching assistant.
So? Art teachers or students don't have a right to make a political statement? How Hitlerian of you. Next I suppose you'll want this site thrown on a book-burning pile because it's "degenerate" art.
Killing foreigners? Okay. Killing Americans? A violation of the president's oath to uphold Constituional Law: "No person shall... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." A kill list may exist, but a kill list that includes Americans citizens is tyrannical.
Yep. Since the fiber optics are already built "in" the roads, along with the sewer and water lines, it makes sense for government to own all of it as a single package.
Just because California politicians are stupid and actually REGULATED the market (companies had to go through the government to trade power) instead of deregulating (no government), doesn't mean it can't work. In the two states I have lived, the electric lines and natural gas pipes are owned by the century-old utility. The customer then decides between ~50 different companies to buy his power. The result is pricing that is ~10% cheaper than it used to be.
>>>Just because people in your age group feel that events 200 years ago have no meaning to them does not mean other cultures feel the same way.
Our soldiers have been showing photos of the WTC attacks to the locals. So far they've found NO locals that even knew what the building represented, or that there was an attack. These people have next-to-zero education, and only care about the present, and their own little world. They SEE the Americans are killing their neighbors but have no idea why..... they only know they want revenge. And they hear Bin Laden and other leaders offering the opportunity.
So I stand by what I said before: . The young men who join terrorist armies are not fighting because of some ancient war. They are fighting because of *present* U.S. on Arab slaughters that are within their living memory

>>>I'm not sure even Windows even gets viruses any more;

I'm confused.;-) Just joking. Obviously Linux will get malware once it becomes the #1 OS (on phones). What about Apple's iOS? Does it get malware? I don't recall reading reports about iOS viruses.
Oh and to add to my "Did it include a plot?" comment..... the movies I've downloaded this past year have mostly been crap. Hollywood is trying to make-up for lack of story with gimmicks like 3D and 48fps. Pirates of the Caribbean part 3 and Transformers 3 are two examples. Subtract the "ooo wow" of 3D and you're left with a flat film filled with flat characters and a story that wouldn't even fill a 100 page novel.
>>>Prometheus. Say what you will about the film, the 3D is not a gimmick
Did they remember to include a plot? I've seen 3D twice and it gave me a headache both times. I think because the glasses didn't fit properly over my prescription glasses, and also the projection was not adjusted properly (it had a weird double-picture effect... like a blur).
>>>Do you know why the US meddles so often? Because OPEC and the Arab world in general hold so tight a fist on oil
The U.S. has been meddling in Arabia since the 1920s..... long before OPEC existed or we were dependent on them (we had our own abundant oil supplies in Ohio and Texas).
Google also censored the 16-year-old girl who was reading from her Bible the passages that forbid gay marriage.

It was a JOKE people. Jeez.
Amiga's moved-on anyway. OS 3 is obsolete, replaced by OS 4.0 and 4.1. Running version 3 today would be like running a Mac with OS9.
If two Anonymous Cowards talk to one another, does anybody hear them?
