Blah blah blah. I think +5 funny qualifies it as a joke.
>The religious right has declared it
What are you, like 12 or something? Do you know anything about American history at all? The religious right are not the people who are trying to dismantle every single element upon which this country was founded and upon which it existed for most of its history.
I agree that there is a cold civil war, but if you think it was started by the religious right, you are even more clueless than you initially appeared. Quit buying into the "vast right-wing conspiracy" and accept the fact that while our current leadership is not perfect, they are far from the extreme zealots you seem to enjoy making them out to be. You also need to meet some real conservative Christians and quit taking all your cues from Jimmy Swaggert and company. But mostly, I think you should quit while you're behind, because you clearly are incapable of nothing but parroting the worst cliches of the left. It's an insult to true liberals, who while I may disagree with them, are thoughtful people of intellect and integrity and, unfortuantely, increasingly rare, as a vacuous form of hateful socialist dogma has claimed more and more of what passes for liberal philosophy in public discourse.
I would hate to be a liberal today in America, because while the Republican party has not served its conservative base well, the Democratic party has completely abandoned all pretense of being anything but a buch of reactionary cry-babies and sore losers. I think the true liberals are far more out in the woods than the true conservatives. Too bad there is no chance of new parties gaining influence in America, because this could correct the problem.
You know it's funny. I"m always amused at how many people on the left can act so bigoted and narrow-minded despite that being everything they supposedly stand against. It amuses me even more when they fail to see the hypocracy.
I was making a joke that from the Republican point of view monkey-men would "obviously" vote Democrat, but you and several others took the worst stereotypes of conservative and religious types and are acting like they are unquestionable, unchangeable and ubiquitous.
Yes, and of course it never would have occurred to terrorists to poison the water supply or infiltrate nuclear power plants or destroy the Holland tunnel if they hadn't heard someone discussing those possibilities on Fox News either.
Wow! Idle ramblings of a bunch of mostly adolescents. Better not let anyone hear this incredible font of devious ideas.
Destroying it wouldn't be so bad. It's a Ponzi scheme and you and I are on the fat part of the pyramid at the bottom. You know, the people who get screwed.
Nothing wrong with having your own taste or opinion. If we were all the same it would be really dull.
But if you are really interested, some day you should broaden your music horizons... you'll be pleasantly amazed and surprised and what's out there. Put it this way... the best music never gets on the analog radio (perhaps classical, but certainly not any form or rock or jazz, not these days).
Well, she has a round pudgy face which makes her look like a little kid, but most importantly, she has no hips. Grown-up women have curves. Nice curves.
That latest picture of her that I am assaulted with when I go to Tower Records to look for the Vinyl Kings, Karmakanic or Mike Keneally which makes her look like some kind of trailer trash centerfold has has her wearing these ridiculous tiny shorts. The woman has no hips. I don't find her face pretty and she looks like a little boy from the chest down. No number of bubblegum music or gyrating with albino pythons is going to change that.
I dunno, I like adult women. Maybe that's why I'm not into anime.
Maybe she's a good singer; I've never been able to listen long enough to tell, but these days all that seems necessary for fame in the music world is big boobs and the willingness to thrust your pelvis in public. With folks like her, looks are the important factor. No one would listen to her if she was dumpy and old. Therefore, I think criticising her looks is fair game.
Really, it's not that big a deal to me, but since you asked...
When it comes to female vocalists, I more prefer Annie Haslam, Sheila Chandra, even Linda Ronstadt. You know, people who can actually sing.
If by good-looking you mean "looks like a ten-year-old boy with boob implants" then yes, I'd agree with you.
Britney Spears is to good-looking what Twinkies are to nutrition (not taste, nutrition).
It was a fun time to watch from a distance because it was obvious that many of these companies would fail miserably, what wasn't obvious though, was the fact that almost all of them would.

It amuses me even more than that that I constantly misspell "hypocrisy".
Oops.

Congratulations.
I'm sure Orrin Hatch is drafting the legislation as we speak.
Nah, this is more likely because of the republican administration and the likely implication of granting this patent.
What? A bunch of human-monkey hybrids that will certainly vote Democrat?!
Besides, by the time AI is powerful enough to take over the world, it will be fighting grey goo, not us.

Oh, the horrors!
Don't worry. By then it will be tattooed on your right arm or forehead.
Canada's waiting. Don't let the door hit your butt on the way out.
...and keep the Republicans in power for another generation or more.
Good old Mr. al-Sahaf was more eloquent...
Killing them all is a start.
By your logic, any time someone is a terrorist, he must be right. Remind me not to go in any building you've been in.

But the Democrats are now claiming that Social Security is fine.
They would never lie about that simply because the President is making an issue of reforming it, now would they?

Yeah, I tried it last time /. mentioned it. Neat trick, but far from usable for actual work, but at the time it was alpha code. Probably still is.
Some day it might be a real window manager, and when that happens, I'll consider using it.

Maybe you don't think so, but I do. She has absolutely no secondary sexual characteristics (that we can see) other than that rack.
I'd say more than 50% of adults, including many in Congress and the judiciary, don't understand the First Amendment either.
That high school kids don't understand it is a given. There are so few people who can explain it.
After all, no one with a goofy haircut could be evil...
Also, Lucas shoe-horns an hour's worth of plot into five minutes so we can watch pod racers for 83 more.
Adams completely dispensed with plot so it wouldn't get in the way of a fun story.
Lucas has great vision, but is a lousy writer who takes himself too seriously.
DNA had great vision, was a very good writer, and didn't take himself too seriously.
Lucas gave us Sy Snootles.
Adams gave us Vogon poetry.
Lucas gave us Carrie Fisher in a metal bikini.
Adams gave us... OK, Lucas wins that one.
Don't bust on the poor Javascript guy, he was a CEO worth $100 million 5 years ago.

No, it's Lucy when she's in trouble.
Vi-i-i-i-iv!
Yeah, I realize that. I just found the idea that there are cartons of Windows 2.0 packages mouldering in some warehouse somewhere quite amusing.
I remember Windows 2 (well, 2.1 anyway). It was butt-ugly. Even worse than that Playskool theme XP ships with.
