Some American: "Hey guys, can we, like, uh, catch a ride to the moon, dude?"
Pilot: "Go away, you filthy swine!"
Some Other American: "Don't bother with them. I got on once. The food is great, but the service just plain sucks... and its all in some dead language. Let's go try flying standby on the German one with the hot chicks."
YES, they are evil because promoting backward thinking in Africa.
Well, TOO FREAKIN' LATE. Many Africans have beat them to it by thousands of years.
I have been to roundtable meetings about the AIDS epidemic in Africa. There are lots of disturbing statistics. Almost 100% of militaries are HIV positive. Why? They have a hookers for the platoons they drive with the men. Brilliant. There are also whole villages that have been wiped out by HIV. What? Whole villages? IS EVERYONE SCREWING EVERYONE ALL THE TIME THERE? Great. I would assume that many now know that sex can kill, but they do nothing about it.
I understand what you are thinking. I agree. The Catholic Church is waaaay behind the times and should not endorse that condoms are bad. But they also say that sex in general is bad, and surprise, celibacy (although not so easy as one thinks it is) is a sure fire way to prevent the spread of HIV and pregnancy. I don't care how stupid or from what culture they come from, people know sex causes babies, and should be able to understand what a disease is... y'know, illness? That thing which makes us sick?
This is a fact: African men with HIV many times rape virginal women as a cure to get rid of the "evil" in them when they have HIV, hoping to "give" it to the virgin. ISN'T THAT A COMFORTING THOUGHT. That IMHO just might be a *teeny tiny* PROBLEM over there.
Also, I recently read in the news that in Johannesburg several people were beaten to death by an angry mob thought those people were freakin' Vampires. *I kid you not.*
So with all of that, Catholicism doesn't sound so bad anymore.
So really, there is no way around this. They are screwed either way. No Catholic Church? Then the shaman tells them to rape a virgin, or maybe there is a vampire to blame. It is all so pathetic it is making my head hurt.
> The internet was created by the United > States Department of Defense.
Actually that is not true.
NO! Actually, that is true. The origin of something is the origin. You CANNOT CHANGE THAT. Yes, it was sold off. But its origin is fact. The beginnings of the internet were created by the US military, trying to split hairs on when it became a different type of network is ridiculous.
Stop trying to put an anti-US spin on everything, you nutters.
I don't hate your differences as much as trying revisionist history, so shut the hell up.
"There really is only one way to secure cyberspace as we know it. We need to create in secret an army of clones to protect us from all of our enemies."
The situation itself is IMO part of the problem with giving the public the right to choose their senators.
Hilarious. I know I laughed. Its so insane, that I can't even come back to it. Here are some other highlights:
Look at Philadelphia, the land of brotherly love, where every black man is a suspect and much of the PD make the Gestapo look subtle.
LOL!!! The last time I checked, the Gestapo aided (with the consent of the SS) in the killing of millions of people on summary judgement. I love comparisons of without merit.
Please sit down. You're embarrassing the truly insane.
Obviously you haven't hopped a chain link fence with a 3 foot rope attached to your hip and sidearm. That is the last thing you want sticking... on a fence top... with a gun most likely with no safety.
If an officer is disarmed, he probably getting disarmed closer than the rope.
Also, many police forces now have lock holsters... that are exceedingly difficult to disarm a man unless you know how to pull it.
Where the cabbies have to pay royalties to listen to the radio. And the Gov't let the corporations get away with that.
Or how about the UK, where London is still the one of the most violent cities in the world, but has no guns.
Or you can go to France, where the government pretty much does what it pleases... and doesn't tell them about it.
Honestly, if this crap keeps up, we'll be just like Europe. Bush is just doing to US citizens what the rest of Europe has been doing to its citizens for years. Why are you surprised?
But if you want to subscribe, it'll set you back up to $159 a year.
And in America if you want to eat, it'll set you back about that much a month.
Honestly people, there is no justification on plunking down a little expense if it is your LIVELYHOOD for goodness sake. After all, this is like saying that textbooks that contain known science should be handed out for free.
Everything costs money to get done if someone is manning the helm. $159 US a year is not bad for a group of people who mull over the interesting in a field and report on it.
After all I know a lot of scientists with $159 calculators.
Personally I'd love to pick up a Gamecube to play with but this arbitrary restriction to the kind of games that Nintendo will licence mean I won't bother
That's funny. I won't pick up a PS2 because I am concerned about the games that they do license.
I guess it is a matter of taste for you. For me, it is a matter of trust.
It's no good being the cheapest if all your games suck.
I agree. You are quoting the Nintendo corporate mantra by saying that you are only interested in the games. Keep that in mind.
A lot of us love Nintendo still, and are not fanboys. Why? Because we still buy Nintendo after we have tried the other consoles at friends homes.
they would rather sit down and surf, watch TV, or even just vegetate rather than driving somewhere for a meeting or to even write a damn letter. I bet more than half the people here will bitch all they want, mod people up or down-but writing a letter takes too much time.
Have you ever thought that the public may not have the same issues as you do? I mean, there are a lot of more important issues in the world short of copyright infringement and the DMCA. I mean there is a whole world out there. You pessimists really think that the public is going to rush out and do all the things these lawmakers and their ridiculous rules tell us to do?
Simply put, most families are a tight rope act. Most people don't have the time to do much besides keeping that ship afloat.
Good luck. Most people have a heavy job responsibility, and a kid or two. It takes all of their time. AND I MEAN ALL OF IT. So the next time you think that the public doesn't care about issues, watch the ratings for the nightly news, Bill O'Reily, and CNN.
Don't assume they are idiots. It is not a crime to be a conservative or a liberal. It is not an assumption of someone's stupidity because they don't know DMCA rules implicitly. The public is not brilliant, but here in America, it is not dumb enough to believe everything it hears on TV, or from some corporate attorney.
Although many of you very vocal, very young ctivist types think we are all losers and you alone can save the world, TRUST ME ON THIS ONE: You will soon see the truth about all of this. The public truly knows which end wags the dog, and who all of the bastards really are. Go ahead, take away all of our rights, see what happens in America.
It sickens me that in the space program (and indeed, in many things) we don't take a chance with human lives anymore. "Oh no! There's a 0.02% chance that someone could get hurt. Even though this could be a huge breakthrough, we can't risk it!" That's not the attitude we had about getting to the moon - we took the gambles, and at times paid for it with human lives.
I got two words for that: INTERNATIONAL MEDIA.
Yes, welcome to the international media age, where blame crosses the globe at the speed of light. You just can't take risks anymore. You will end up on the Daily Show with a funny punch line. You can't lose men in a space program without the rest of the "world's space experts" calling you morons in minutes. Hell-O Senate inquiry. It will be a full on busybody alert.
Besides, the way things are going NOW, the three remaining members of the Al-Qaeda network will get a doctored tape out with some Star Trek bridge sounds and will be claiming that they attacked the space vessel in high orbit with Kalashnikovs and dealth a "blow of TERRIBLE DEATH" to all crusaders that think they can occupy the "HOLY SKY." See it on Al-JazeeraNN tonight! With special DEATH IN THE SKY GRAPHICS!
Sound funny? YES. But strangely truthful. Even funnier and more truthful? The Middle Easterners will FREAKING believe it. Pure comedy.
After all, if you haven't noticed, nobody cares about space anymore. There is no profit in promoting humanity. And honestly people... no money, no Lance Bass getting blown out the airlock sci-fi style. Where has all the fun in space gone without dead celebrities in space? I say nowhere my friend. I WANT WASHED UP BOY BAND LOSERS IN SPACE. I NEED DEAD WASHED UP BOY BAND LOSERS IN SPACE, with "Lance Bass Still Dead" underscreen crawls UPDATED EVERY FIVE MINUTES ON CNN-Jazeera. That is where I want my tax money to go.
After all, if you haven't noticed, the freakin' busybodies run the show now. I would say be thankful that we haven't seen NASA scientists hanging out in front of the Wal-Mart ringing a freakin' bell this holiday season.
Your comments about your father made my whole day.
Honestly, I'd love to meet him. I assume that his mind is a steel trap, and probably has a sense of humor that is so select that if you didn't listen you would miss it all. He's "one of those guys" that you see every now and then.
Isn't it amazing what pressure does to some people? Some people avoid pain and suffering all of their lives to become worthless, and others have so freakin' much that it becomes irrelevent to what they want to accomplish. I am going out on a limb here, but the pain is obviously debilitating, but as far as his achievements are concerned, it is probably as irrelevent as the air conditioner sound in the back of the room right now.
What did all of that stuff do to stifle his success? Absolutely nothing.
It comes down to this with me: I think that all people, ALL HUMANS have within themselves two basic spirits... the ape, and the enlightened man. The ape is angry, lazy, lustfull, disaffected and greedy. The man is in a word, wonderful. The struggle is to see who is in charge. It is truly that simple.
Tell your dad to ROCK ON for me. Good luck. God speed.
I understand your plight with all of this, but you must understand that some people simply cannot be helped. It is not in them to feed themselves. I should know, I am a reporter, and I see that reality every day on the mean streets of America, where the poor clamour for a handout, but not a hand up.
People say it is education, and what they have been taught. Well, what they have been taught does not work. It does not feed them, EVEN IN A PLACE LIKE AMERICA, where they throw away close to 40% of the food out there. Keep in mind that I am not talking about the elderly who cannot work anymore and are caught in an inflation trap. I am talking about people who grow up on a system that allows them to never, EVER think about their future. I cannot tell you how much special help comes into those schools to help poor kids where I am, it is amazing. I honestly don't think that any of this is working at all. If they kept giving me that kind of help, I'd be the freakin' overlord of the planet by now.
This is the greatest example ever: When I have a story to do at 1pm in the poor neighborhoods, I can always get an interview. Why? Because no one has a job. No one is working. That is why they are poor. Not because of some secret government crap or ridiculous excuse. The same time in a suburb? I can bet you that I can't find anyone. And I mean anyone. THEY ARE WORKING. That is why they are not poor. *GASP* They actually have to something they may not like for, *GASP*, MONEY!
Mostly, after hearing all of the rhetoric from all of the charities in the world I have come to this conclusion (and trust me, I do at least 4 charity stories a month): Most charity workers are great people, and the people they serve are duplicitous liars that give you the sad puppy dog eyes, and then take your food or money and sit on their asses and do NOTHING. Just like they did before. Nothing has changed. You just gave them a better coat that they won't take care of. You just fed their hungry mouths another day in a nation where you can easily get all the food you want. Whenever I do a story about these poor people, I hear the words "disabled." No, YOU'RE NOT. Because I know disabled people in wheelchairs that are at WORK RIGHT NOW... grinding away on a keyboard. Working like little ants. You are complaining about your back.
Honestly, why do we need to have soup kitchens when soup is 50 cents a can and I can get that by bumming vending machine money off of people for that? A wiper and some Windex will get you a weeks worth in 15 minutes. Oh, but two hours worth will get you a bottle of Jack Daniel's. Once again. Your choice.
These examples work for all things. Why are the Arab nations (IMHO IMHO IMHO) worthless? They can't get their act together. Why are there people starving on the streets? They never got their act together. Why are these nations ass over teacup with starvation? They never got their act together.
Look around you. It is the 21st Century. Tell these people to either party like its 1499, or stay quiet. AS a citizen of the world and a human that lives in America and works very hard JUST TO GET BY... tell them to sit down and shaddup.
My name is that because it is the ugliest car that caught on with the public, EVER. It hits me on so many levels. Also it is poorly designed. THAT is why it is my name... although "the Edsel" would also be appropriate.
The latest common rail diesels from PSA (Peugeot/Citroen) have particle collectors that periodically burn the particles at very high temperatures.

When was the last time you watched the Simpsons? Next time you do, remeber that it was brought to you by an Australian company...
Ahhh, that explains why the Simpsons all speak in American accent, and live in Springfield, the most common name for a city in the USA. They also make fun of Australians in hilarious ways... as well as everyone else. But honestly, I think that many Aussies may not have seen those episodes.
I think it would be better that you said that the Simpsons were BANKROLLED by an Australian corporation... not brought to you by them.
After all, those are AMERICAN JOKES you're laughing at. You know. Those warhead Americans. Baby killers. But please, continue to bash away, telling us that were all like our "war mongering president" (and nevermind that most of America REALLY WANTS REVENGE, BIG TIME) that hasn't yet started a war... even after being attacked on American soil.
Honestly, how many Bali blasts do you people need to understand that religious based racism isn't solely directed at the USA, but simply is the easy reference card for genocide?
(RAISES HAND) "EXCUSE ME! GOT A QUESTION OVER HERE!"
I thought that the whole point of evolution was to move forward. Who are the Script Kiddies that are running with these ideas?
Silly me. And here we are taking all of this technology to make an known inferior species for mankind... something that they know is automatically inferior. Something that is made of human genes and also occupies status in our dumpsters and basements.
Great plan. Next stop? Parasites.
Please people. Freaking brilliant. I personally vote for nematode-human hybrids, that'll be "kewl."
