If you eat right and exercise, you die too. No way around that...
It isn't about dying, it is about living. I couldn't have been bangin' hot hard body chicks on a beach in Spain at age 20 if I looked like a fat slob. Trust me, it has been more fun living as thin and in shape.;) True, I'll die too but that's later.
Wait, am I being shallow for thinking a body image is important? Perhaps, but what you have to remember is, it isn't how other people feel about you, it is how you feel about yourself. Before dismissing someone's objectified experience as shallow and trite, try not to be so envious and think about what happens during your day that is so special. That's where it counts. That's where you spend time living.
With the way people run red lights here in Detroit, I'm surprised there is a market for this kind of product. I just saw a pack of five cars run a red cutting into left-turn traffic last night. Got the huge SUV? They'll stay out of your way. It used to blow my mind but I've gotten used to it.
I hope this isn't taken out of context because I mean no insult nor do I mean to belittle what the USA has done but am I only the only one that thinks the USA has a massive inferiority complex?
They seem so desperate to prove to the rest of the world that they're not backwards or technologically inept or whatever it is. They're obsessed with getting into space, building skyscrapers that are taller than those in other countries and they sunk billions into modernizing Salt Lake City, Atlanta, and LA to impress the world during the Olympcs. If all this results in a higher quality of life for the USA people, I'm all for it. Unfortunately, I don't think it will.
I was a lieutenant in the Microsoft Army during the browser wars. Rumor has it I was next in line to be one of those little office assistant thingies. We kicked Netscape's azz and left the survivors to build bars and lament.
Are you really so naive that you believe that telemarketers needs that list to get peoples contact details?
Abosolutely not. I undertand that spammers constantly refresh their resources. What a great place to get some really fresh info all in one place. If I were a spammer I would be very interested in that list.
I never signed up nor would I ever. The whole idea is dead to rights wrong from the start. If it gets struck down for whatever reason, how valuable would this list of contact information be? I mean shit, here are 50,000,000 potential customers and we have their phone, email, name -- this is great! That much information in one spot up for sale or mismanagement is scary thing indeed. No thank you.
I personally fail to see how it is some great inconvenience to have telemarketers calling you every so often. Its putting food on someone's table, and is better than them being on welfare.
The logic of your post makes me want to vomit. Telemarketing is the answer to a welfare state? Um, there are other jobs out there other than telemarketing. Second of all, these fuckers have NO GOD DAMN RIGHT to trespass on my property and time. The morality of the issue is sickening. It is an invasion of privacy. They should have to pay me to use my personal information. I should have to tell them I want to be contacted, not the other way around.
I should be the one to make the choice to deal with their spam-ass-shit. I don't have to watch TV, or read magazines, or browse websites but my phone rings and my mailboxes get crammed with their crap. I don't have a choice in whether to deal with.
I AM NOT BY DEFAULT OR BIRTH A CONSUMER IN A TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC! By law I should have to "opt in" not "opt out". The whole thing is bullshit.
Heistad grilled them on their tech needs--really, all they wanted to do was send digital pictures of the kids to Grandma. Heistad came back with a shopping list that would get them that, plus a home theater, a wireless network, new computing, a tricked-out music system, and GPS positioning capabilities.
Not only did the family not want the technology but had what they didn't want "forced" on them. This is the problem with mass consumerism of entertainment technology. You don't need it. It isn't even cool if you think about it.
Crappy pop music doesn't sound any better on outrageously huge speakers and expensive audio system.
The TV show "Friends" certainly isn't any funnier on a 90" plasma HDTV.
GPS is only helpful if you don't know where you and you know where you want to go. Besides, who needs to know the lat/lon of the dry cleaners?
Computer and console games like Grand Theft Auto X, Everquest, Star Wars Galaxies, and Sims still suck and disconnect you from society whether on a slow computer or fast one.
The parents should do their kids a favor and sell all that crap. Keep a decent notebook and digital camera around for the pictures to grandma and email. Buy the kids some books, take them to the parks, get them involved in their community.
All of that useless tech is going to kill your culture.
Read that. She doesn't really answer the question there which is why I asked it here. Leadership experience can come from many different sources -- not all of which has to be public office politics. The governer of the fifth largest economy in the world will need leadership skills and experience. She had to be able to get things done. What, in her words and experience, can she describe that demonstrates that she can get things done?
Regarding Arnold, I don't see how Arnold's or any other candidate's qualifications (or lack thereof) have anything to do with Georgy's. Someone else's lack of experience certainly doesn't equate to a reason to vote for her, or anyone else for that matter.
Based on your comment, I doubt that you have seen the total cost of uninsured health care especially in a state like California. Here in Michigan it is crippling. In this case they do take something from the rest of population.
Your point is valid, though. If they were all to be declared "legal" overnight, this issue would not go away.
In addition to being the co-founder of a storage software company and an avid dancer, what other qualifications and leadership experience do you have to politically lead the fifth largest economy of the world?
... I've pondered how waterbugs move around on top of the water. In my naivete, thinking there could possibly be no connection between something that actually matters like a cure for cancer and water striders, I dismissed this ponderance for something shiny.
The shiny thing was a small robot that could possibly make use of this method of propulsion. Then I realized there were only 10 of us in the world and rejoiced as this great find was made public and made available to the popular geek culture. Now thousands of others can wish they had the required nanoseconds of their life back that was spent to dismiss this headline.

B. Invent an SUV that gets 100 miles to the gallon (preferably a gallon of H20).
Working on it.
