"Now we can go back to looking forward to opening our inboxes in the morning because we'll have notes from our friends rather than herbal supplements and mortgage offers," said Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M.
The only weak mind in action at the moment is the original poster that sought to link this useless bill to his paranoia of "librul" politicians. Or perhaps it was a carefully crafted troll designed to look like an idiot?
A cursory search of Google turned up the relevent statute. Obviously you couldn't be bothered to look and would rather disparage my understanding than use facts yourself.
(6) If the unofficial returns reflect that a candidate for any office was defeated or eliminated by one-half of a percent or less of the votes cast for such office, that a candidate for retention to a judicial office was retained or not retained by one-half of a percent or less of the votes cast on the question of retention, or that a measure appearing on the ballot was approved or rejected by one-half of a percent or less of the votes cast on such measure, the board responsible for certifying the results of the vote on such race or measure shall order a recount of the votes cast with respect to such office or measure. A recount need not be ordered with respect to the returns for any office, however, if the candidate or candidates defeated or eliminated from contention for such office by one-half of a percent or less of the votes cast for such office request in writing that a recount not be made.
Please provide evidence that every county in Florida carried out a recount. Provide before numbers and after numbers.
Here's a hint: if the two match, they didn't recount.
I'd call you clueless, but you know exactly what went on and are just trying to distort the truth that your boy and his brother cheated.
Of course, the problem was exasperated by Gore deciding to only have recounts in counties he won, rather than across the whole state.
I'm not sure if that's the whole truth. Under Floridian law because the votes were so close a recount should have taken place. The Republican controlled counties simply resubmitted their original numbers. This was illegal, against voting regulations and the perpetrators should have been prosecuted. The official overseeing the Florida election (Katherine Harris) should have insisted that the law was followed, but she chose not to. Of course we all know that she was rewarded handsomely for her law-breaking.
Gore "choosing" which counties had a recount may have been conservative spin. It's possible that those recounting were the ones where a Democrat official gave the (legally required) order to do so.
That's right. I generally happens every 10 years (in Texas at least). The last time it happened, the situation had to be settled by a district court judge. That was in 2001. Now the Texas Republicans want to redistrict again. They didn't like the last result so they're changing parliamentary rules in order to get their plan shoved through. This is all at the behest of the Bush Whitehouse. It is not normal to redistrict every 2 years. This is what you do when you want to guarantee getting elected, because you've fscked the economy up so much that you can't get enough of the popular vote to carry you into office. It's a bit like getting your brother to block minorities from voting in the state that he's running. State Police headlight checks in minority neighbourhoods near the polling station on election day? Perfectly normal. Scrubbing thousands of citizens from the voting rolls because their name sounds like that of a convicted felon in another state? Nothing to see here. Stupid fsck.
I believe a lot of the Horizon episodes are shown in the US as well. But they're repackaged under a different name (names) and the commentary is over-dubbed with an American accent. You frequent see Horizon credited in the closing titles to scientific documentaries here.
Spammers are not thieves. Yes they are. They steal bandwidth and server space. Your local supermarket has to pay out of their own pocket for printing and advertising. They also have to pay for delivery. With spam, you pay for all of that.
Email is protected speech That may well be so, but my choice not to listen to that speech is also protected. If I want to block any and all email coming in to my server I will do so. If I choose to let another entity (like an blackhole list) tell me which email to block I will do so. This is my choice. For an organisation with such high ideals, the EFF is really clueless with regard to this simple point.
I remember reading that the majority of crimes were committed with guns obtained illegally (i.e. stolen or bought off of the black market) I'm curious as to where these "illegal" weapons originally came from. Do criminals have their own gun foundries in order to produce them? Or is it that lethal weapons are being sold to people who don't have the common sense or ability to keep them out of the hands of criminals?
Criminologists believe that a note of caution needs to be introduced into analysis of the data, because of the different ways in which UN member countries record crimes. Why let scientific examination of the data get in the way of a biased write-up from the Torygraph? Conclusion: England and Wales record more events they classify as crimes than other countries.
It's funny, I drove the 20 miles downtown and double parked in order to buy concert tickets a while back. I still got charged a "convenience fee" although it was the venue's box office. WTF is that all about?
They had a great interview with this crank on The Daily Show.
The interviewer showed him the video footage of Aldrin punching him and then proceeded to question whether or not it was faked.
It was amusing watching him squirm when she said "His fist doesn't actually appear to make contact with your face does it? Could that have been faked?"
It's instructive that the BBC prints Bin Laden's statement, but the BBC had a ban on Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams voice from being broadcast on the BBC, and it was only the English press that censored Sinn Fein statements (Sinn Fein being a political party with MP's regularly elected to parliament, and which has a good chunk of the Catholic Northern Irish vote). Adams was speaking out against the English army's presence in Northern Ireland, the paramilitaries shooting of civilians on an anti-internment march in 1972 and other such things, the BBC simply did not want it's viewers and listeners to hear his voice.
Actually the ban on Sinn Fein activists' voices being broadcast in the UK was enacted by the British government, not the BBC. The BBC would still carry video pictures of SF activists and overdub their voices with those of actors. The effect was to still get SF's message across and make the ban look ridiculous.
Such a ban had been in effect in the Republic of Ireland for some time before the British government followed suit.
Oh, and I don't believe England has had its own army in a few hundred years.
However, I think you have a different idea of what Christianity is from this other joker. He says that Jesus will change your life, and makes no mention of you having to put in any kind of effort yourself. Apparently if you don't change then it's because you didn't believe in Jesus enough.
Kinda reminds me of that bit in Peter Pan where Tinkerbell will die if all the little children in the audience don't say that they believe in fairies.
I'm not trying to belittle Christians, but those kinds of arguments are just too weak to pass up.
Oh I get it now. That explains why so many Christians are unrepentant, selfish bastards who would no sooner help their fellow man than drink their own urine. They're waiting for Jesus to change them.
That's a pretty cool philosophy. Ignore all the teachings of your savior, live an evil life and wait for him to change it all for you. No need to put any effort in yourself (apart from giving money to that nice man on Sundays because Jesus wants you to).
The US constitution does not apply to only US citizens or corporations despite what the current resident of the White House his cronies would like you to think.
If you do a search of the document you will find that the only time the word "citizen" is mentioned is in the qualifications for public office. Only US citizens can run for office.
US citizens regularly provide funding to terrorist organisations. Go look up NorAid. You will find that it is a 'charitable' front for the IRA. Does this mean that the British government has a legitimate excuse to nuke the US?

How about locking up the people that cause trouble? If they're doing time then they can't be down the pub, picking fights with law-abiding drinkers.

Again, we don't know if this is the same guy. Maybe someone should call him to find out?
This may be the same guy link [summitoh.net].
Might be worth checking some of this information before sending him some useful marketing that he "expressed a desire to receive".
On a side note, I had to defend McBride the other day, when someone said he wasn't fit to sleep with a pig. I said, "That's not true".
Yes, I'm not saying I wouldn't cross the street to spit on him if he were dying in the gutter.
I would, of course, consider it my duty.

No, I saw the word stolen.
Stolen from someone too stupid to keep their weapons locked in a gun safe.
I remember reading that the majority of crimes were committed with guns obtained illegally (i.e. stolen or bought off of the black market)
I'm curious as to where these "illegal" weapons originally came from. Do criminals have their own gun foundries in order to produce them?
Or is it that lethal weapons are being sold to people who don't have the common sense or ability to keep them out of the hands of criminals?

What precisely was childish about it? Remarkably sarcastic perhaps.
Too scared about losing karma points so you post as an AC? Doesn't your god book mention anything about taking responsiblilty for your own actions.
