Abortion doctors get shot, gays get crucified, blacks get dragged behind pickup trucks, planned parenthoods get bombed, black churches get burned.
Republican tend to resort to violence early and often.
First off, only two wars in the history of the US were initiated with Republican Presidents in office: Gulf Wars I and II. Every other war from the War of 1812 on were started by Democrats (I'm including the Civil War in this, as it was Southern Democrats who seceeded from the Union and sparked the war). So to claim that Republicans "resort to violence early and often" is just plain assinine.
Secondly, no political persusasion is free of nutjobs out to hurt or destroy innocent people (incidentally, the nutjobs who burned down black churches and tried to blow them up in the South in the 60s were all Democrats, as was Nathan Bedford Forrest, the founder of the KKK). Trying to paint all conservatives as violent maniacs is hateful speech, pure and simple.
Why is it that liberals constantly feel the need to attack conservatives and their principles in such crude and childish fashion?
Not in America, it's not. Truth is considered an affirmative defense against both libel and slander over here. I hear that Europe is bit behind the times on this issue, though.
For conservatives & libertarians, that often doesn't register...
You do realize that libertarians are usually the ones screaming for completely open markets, don't you? Many conservatives are also in favor of outsourcing to reduce costs. It's mostly liberals and populists who are against it (though not completely, I consider myself a "conservative", but don't like offshore outsourcing...the national security concerns keep me up at night).
Oh sure, W spends $500B and it goes on my credit card (at 10%, no less) - that's fair! If I'm going to pay for the deficit, then I get a veto too.
I think that was the point of the original post. If Joe Sixpack American had to pony up extra money out of his wallet every year to pay off the deficit (and not just through withholding taxes, I mean having to write an actual check), how long do you think it would be before there was a full scale revolt?
In the OP's position, I would immediately ask to have one inserted in place of the current wording, mentioning my situation regarding the existing other business if necessary.
Be sure to point out that, as long as that clause is in there, if you injure yourself on your own time, you can file a claim against their worker's comp insurance. Make sure you phrase it in such a way that you are trying to protect the company (eg, "I do such-and-such after hours, and the way this is phrased if I get hurt doing it, the company's worker's comp would have to pay me. You might want to change that, so the insurance rates don't go up.")
What racist bullcrap? Bin Laden is dirty (living in a cave does that to you); he is old (in his 60's, IIRC); is hiding in a cave (though probably not for much longer); and could very well be a camel fucker (who are you to judge? the love between a man and his camel is special).
Just because FOX news says he did it, doesn't mean he actually did.
Nevermind the fact that bin Laden claimed responsibility hisownself. Guess you didn't catch the al-Jezerra tape where he applauded the success of the mission, and basically gloated over getting away with it. Besides, name one reputable source that doesn't think bin Laden had anything to do with 9/11.
Hmm, but what if you harnessed the power of the Internet? I smell a winner!

However, the Russian gov't needs to wake up and do something about all of the criminals it harbors.
Bwa-ha-ha!!! Considering how many criminals are in the Russian government*, I don't think anything's gonna change any time soon.
* Yes, yes, I know this is true for most governments, but the line between organized crime and government power seems blurriest in Russia at the moment.
...poking fun of your use... See, it happened already.
No, that's the correct use of 'your'. Remember, pronoun possessives never use apostrophes (its, their(s), your(s)), contractions always do (it's => it is, they're => they are, you're => you are). Something which would've given Chaucer problems, but not us modern speakers (one hopes).
Unless one spelling was used when the word is the object of the sentence, and another when the subject? Maybe that sort of thing was more important back then.
Either that, or Chaucer out sourced the project to India and didn't have time to go through and clean it up before the ship date.
You put the bluetooth card in, configure it to connect to your GSM/BT phone and your on the net.
What's an "on the net"? I can see how you'd connect the collar computer to your phone via bluetooth, but what's this other thing, the "on the net"? And how do you use it?

Or the Pinto. If you drop it on the wrong side, it may explode.
Speaking of which, isn't Nokia coming out with a Pinto themed phone?
Y'know, not everyone with Tourette's Syndrome swears up a storm. Educate yourself.
You're right, some sufferers merely lack a sense of humor.
Strictly speaking, your text was not a link. A link requires 'a' tags, such as encase this paragraph, so that the browser knows how to present them. Also, due to the Slashdot lameness filter, your string had a gap in it, requiring anyone copying and pasting the text into their browser to hand edit the string to be in compliance with URL specifications. Next time, take the little extra effort and encode your link properly. It isn't difficult.

Take someone's money and make their penis longer?
Sure, no problem, prostitutes have been doing that for years.
This was the first and only time I've seen someone killing something simply by mimicking a gun.
Don't tell the anti-gun nuts, they'll ban fingers next.
Sure, we know Arnie is from Austria. Great country, pretty good salt.
Did you know the grandparent is from Australia? Note the '.au' at the end of his domain. So, which country are you from, so we can mock you now?
Why not check out the Peace Corps? Maybe they can foot the bill for you.
You really should can that racist bullcrap.

Now if we can only get those pesky religious and cultural factors to go away so the poor will use it...
You could always force people to accept it. After all, it's for their own good.
Well... Imagine that, instead of getting modded up, you would end up in court for describing how to decode a DVD. That's the U.S.
Funny, I thought DVD Jon's court cases were all in Norway. Silly me.

Also not a good idea to go diving while wearing one. Unless you've got it in some sort of watertight pouch.
How about the MSN watch? I've been seeing billboards for the things all other town, and they look interesting.
Stick a 802.11 or bluetooth card in there and your ready to go.
What's a ready to go, and why would he need to put a bluetooth card in it?
