The debate was a slam dunk after Reagan uttered the words "There you go again..." after Carter stated one of his many lies. Obtaining Carter's notes!!! ROFLAMO Only an idiot would believe something that stupid. You liberal whack jobs are too much!!
Obviously you were not alive for the Carter administration. Didn't destroy the economy?? He was on watch for double-digit inflation, an impotent Fed, and left a legacy of one of the most far-reaching recessions since the depression and the worst since. It was Reagan who instructed the Fed - Paul Volker - to clamp down inflation once and for all... something Carter didn't have the balls to do. We were thrown into anothe recession but it was the last one for nearly 10 years - something unheard of at the time.
Carter was unfortunate to inherit the mess from Nixon... such as enacting clean air act at the same time the OPEC embargo came into effect. Industry wasn't prepared and it threw things into chaos for much of the 70's. He did get us started on the road to deregulation, so Carter had some good points.
>>The US doesn't talk directly with Iran. Or with Syria.
No shit. They refuse to recognize Israel and their main goal is to eliminate Israel and the Jews from the planet.
I'll give you a quick history lesson... before MySpace, YouTube and IM... there was a guy name Hitler who wanted the same things as your friends in Iran and Syria. And he almost succeeded.
The pro-Microsoft press is constantly harping on the 3-5% marketshare thing without mentioning that *only* 5% equates to billions in revenue. Now that laptops are 12%... excuse me... *only* 12% that equates into even more.
Unless his some nut-job admitting guilt to get publicity. Its been known to happen. His ex-wife has said they were living in Alabama at the time of the crime and he didn't travel to Boulder.
Hey... it hit 85 degrees in the midwest today - 85 degrees in AUGUST for Christ's sake!! - isn't that enough proof that global warming is reality and we should shutdown all the coal fired power plants NOW!!
The dude was a Neo-Nazi for christ's sake and people here are acting like he's the poor victim of the evil corporate empire. Give me a break. The dude is a slimeball - even his girlfriend ratted him out - and is probably trying to cook up something else illegal.
Sheesh... c'mon. Do you have no history of US politics? Why didn't conservatives cry rape when Nixon went down?? Because they never EMBRACED Nixon. He was NOT a conservative, he was merely a republican. Just like Kennedy (John F, not Teddy) was not a liberal, he was a moderate. Just like Bill Clinton was a moderate.
And years from now, these hood-winked conservatives are gonna wonder why the f' they nominated George W. He's more like his father, who was also a moderate.
The Republican party post-Goldwater died in '88 when the Bush family ascended to the throne and have tried to destroy everything Reagan built.
"But on the other hand, we were taught by both our leftist and rightist teachers to enjoy our freedom due to the alliance freeing us from Nazis, a thing which I appreciate very much."
Oh... he appreciates being "freed" from the Nazis. Nice of him. So I guess the "Nazis" were the only group worth going to war over in the history of the planet - and he feels that situations like it will never occur again. I always wondered how a pacifist felt about Hitler.
The VIC-20 was a poor man's Atari 800. The 800 was *expensive* - atleast for me a college student at the time - whereas the VIC-20 was affordable and a modem could be had for under $100 bucks so I could atleast do dial up to finish my Fortran assignments. ROFL!!
And he swears he's never seen some many hot late 30-somethings show up for a gig in his life than at a Duran Duran concert. Of course I ask him if he hit on any of them... "I'm running sound for them dude".
He also said they had an army of laptops running Logic during the show. So... they might as well put on a virtual show, sounds like they already are!
The Lego company just kept doing business as it always had... which was fine when the bricks were selling, but once the video game crowd eroded their sales - they tanked. Since, they have laid off a number of employees - not making the town they reside in happy but the alternative was much worse. They have also moved production off to eastern european countries where labor costs are reasonable and they can compete in the global market. The new CEO means business and I am optimistic they will survive and maybe thrive.
That company started acting like a bureaucratic siv. Towards the end of the glory days, there were as many slackers doing "research" as folks doing actual work. My group was bounced around from project to project with no focus. We were aligned with Bell Labs, therefore AT&T groups wanted our expertise... even if it was for stupid shit like "add some ksh code to our home-grown ksh database system". Like WTF??
I think its checkered past speaks for itself... botched coup's... political assasinations... what do these "do-gooders", even like Valerie Plame, think they are getting into? Like they are gonna change the agency? ROFL!!

iPod updates coming soon. Teenagers "pleased".
Oh yeah... you sure sound like an "ex-Republican" with your veiled references to your hero Clinton.

Did you have to go on Wiki to find out who this Hitler guy was and when he "died"?
F'n LOSER

How do you know if they hadn't confessed they would have been prosecuted?
Its one thing to write while suffering from depression and another to be doped up on smack - which about half of those you listed, were.
No. Actually 2nd place. First place was will ferrell movie.

You mean legalie meth, coke, heroin, crack? That will never happen. Nor should it... I doubt we want any more crackheads around.
Legalize weed? It may happen in our lifetime, but I'm sure the DEA spends vast amounts more on cocaine interdiction than weed.

You wouldn't be able to even pick up the cell phone to answer it! The guy was into LSD for like 20 years!!! Did you ever read his books???

"Now, western secret services are just as bad as the eastern block used to be"
That comment is just plain ignorant. I've yet to see tanks come down my street like in Hungary or Czechoslovakia.
