Good were lucky then. The shit wil be crashing all teh time and they will not be able to make criminals out of regular citizens who disagree with the goverment.
"Incidentally, capitalism in the US hasn't worked all that great either... remember the red scare in the 50's? Or how 'bout the terroism paranoia of today? A non-socialist country is every bit as vulnerable to paranoia and rhetoric as any other.."
You missed the point. All the socialist states mentioned commited mass murder and genocide. Socialist states have a bad track record of going bad and doing this. I do not want to live in a socialist state. Why do socialists think that everyone else want to live like they do? It's not worth the risk.
The county I live in uses punch cards. I have a hard time seeing how you can screw up using a punch card that is punched out by a lever actuated punch. The package the ballots cards come in says in big letter in english and spanish "Check your cards and make sure your vote counts." If you can't do that maybe you shouldn't vote. Absentee votes are paper ballots which are counted by hand. The machine read votes are fast and cheap. But who ever said elections should be cheap or easy. Don't vote? Don't bitch! sounds pretty good to me.
There were many messages and the moderators of the antispam foum at dslreports/broadband.com have deleted all but a few of them.
I am really having quite a laugh about so many/.ers not knowing anything about dsl reports/broadband.com. It's like the consumer reports of xDSL and Cable broadband. There is even offical online realtime tech support provided in some of the ISP forums by the some broadband ISP's . ISPs are rated by the consumer there as well.
So do I. I am a right leaning, gun owing, Bush supporter. The only people who love her are a fellow Joe McCarthy loving mental defectives with repressive tendencies. It's funny how being on TV makes people think someone actualy gives a fuck for what people represent. The only safe place for this woman is on an island all by herself.

You are wrong human rights infringement is bipartisan. Liberals will tell you it's for the children. Conservatives will tell you it's for security. Neither excuse is good enough. The push for masive invasion of privacy is just the latest instance of this weakness of both ends of the political spectrum. To bad they often agree when it comes to infringing rights.
I didn't know that Canada and Mexico were also supporting Dean.
America happens to be the big chunk of dirt we are all on. I think it's called a continent. There is north American and south America. America is not a country.
The United States of America is a country.
America is a chunk of dirt surounded by water and ice.
Don't be stupid and lazy like the press and politicians. Use the right name.
Canadians and Mexicans are just as American as you are. People in Peru are Americans too.
Please use the correct name for your country not the word American or America. It's incorrect. Don't be wrong.
Proud citizen of the United States of America who can take the time to type it's full and correct name.
Hey I have a pair of C64 with drives in my closet. they work.. Big box of software and games.. They were so much FUN. I still burn PROMs with them too when needed. Now where did I put that tape drive.
I agree. I wonder how this might effect OSDN now? I want Open source to thrive and prosper. I don't think getting to behind one person or party is a good idea from a Open Source stand point. Lets SCO ourselves.
"we just need to shut up the ones we disagree with"
Fuck you very much as well. Just how will you do this by making sure any comment you disagree with is modded down to hell (the current state of afairs I think LOL.) Running us off because we disagree with you. Perhaps just killing us? Hey Another leftist gernociode in the making and it started right here on Slashdot.
In Europe and Canada you may wait weeks, months or, years not hours for life threating conditions to be properly dealt with. Most US states require that hospitals treat anyone who shows up weather they can afford to pay or not. There is no rationing of health care. Health care in countries that mandaite state sponsorde health insurance ration care. That is the difference.
Social Security is a clasic Ponzi scheme. If you or I tried to run a private retirement system the way the government does we would be doing time in federal prison. It is a scam. I am not counting on it being there when I retire and no one else should. The Social Security trust fund is empty. Democrats since LBJ have stolen every dime and squandered it all. LBJ was the first one to realize he could steal from it and no one would notice.
Other than the fact they fund and train terrorists and have an active nuke program and hold "death the rallys and call the USA "The Great Satan" Nothing. I actually like the people. However since these stupid mullahs who run the country have a program going to destroy my country and kill me I think we could stand to be a bit proactive.
Nazi Germany was a socialist state. The former Soviet Union was a socialiat state. Pol Pots Cambodia was a socialst state. China is a socialist state. More dead have piled up due to socialist states than capitalist ones. Hitler,Stalin, Lenin and Pol Pot. Wonder why educated people think socialism is bad news?
They are equal in their infringements. which means they both suck,.
For a historical note. Most of the racist politicians in the south were Democrat party members. All those cops out with the dogs and fire hoses were Democrat. The Democrat party controled the south. This is why I find references to Republican being racists a laugh. Lincon freed the slaves. Lincon was a Republican. George Wallace stood in the school house door to block blacks from atending "white" schools. George Wallace was a elected Democrat party offical. I saw this going down with my own eyes. The Media (Mostly democrat party mermbers) never point this out.

No reason to sue. Call the FCC and they will be fined into nothingness.
Thats not Christian broadcasters its "send money" broadcasters the shit they spout only rarely has any christian context.
Boy! we are just all holding our breath for that.

When you "mark" the choice you don't get chads.

Fair and easy election systems use paper ballots.
Electronic and machine voting are incitement to commit fraud in my opinion.

Socialism= National Socialist Party (Adolf Hitler and the NAZIs)
Socialism= The Soviet Union ( Stalin )
Socialism = Pol Pot and Camboida
Socialism = Cuba
Socialism = 50% to 100% taxation
Socialism = rationed health care
Don't tell me you are "not that kind of socialist" Every one of these wonderful socialist experiments started out that way.

Last time I checked China was still a Communist dictatorship abet with a smiley face.
