Republicans vote for "Conservatives" like Jan Brewer when they promise things like "less intrusive government". Then the "Conservatives" get power and force the government's clutches right into your digestive tract.
There, I'm now a hater. And I'll defend my right to hate anybody I get a hankering to hate to the death.. although as a non-pacifist I'll vastly prefer the death of the other guy if it comes to violence. Of course, being a friend of Liberty I'll also defend your right to hate me right back.... just as long as it's just words in the arena of ideas. So long as the factions are just waving signs in the street it's all just a 'frank exchange of ideas.' You really are an idiot, aren't you? The laws are intended to be applied people who incite hatred against a group of people. Yet you conflate that it's about not being able to hate people individually.
To reiterate, the laws have no beef with you hating a guy because you think he's a jerk, it's another thing to spread hatred about a group because of something they can't help, like race.
While this is technically accurate, it leaves out an important detail - namely that these channels weren't added to available plans, but rather they were added to everyone's bill. Rogers went to all of their customers and gave them all the channels; when people complained after getting their bill, Rogers insisted that they should have called to cancel the channels if they didn't want them. I remember this, they even coined a new term for the practice. It was called "Negative option billing", where if you didn't want it, you'd have to have to remove the service or they'd bill you extra.
I talked to some aboriginals, and they said " That, we just throw them all in the garbage." Not one case of any native person ever being charged. Just "plain ole white folks" who are too chicken-shit to stand up for what makes this country decent.
I find that odd, since First Nations are very much over-represented in our prison population. In any case, don't complain if your municipality doesn't get enough federal funding for your pet service, as each withheld census form takes away thousands of dollars from the budget.
People in cities generate excess revenue for the federal government. It's the people who are in rural areas that are revenue sinks. In other words, your argument should be the other way around.
Well, "Anonymous Coward", that is something else that only works at stores on reservations. From the previous post, there's two gas stations on our rez. It means I can buy (very marked up) junk food without taxes, even though it would be cheaper to buy it at the nearest town's Wal-Mart. Go back to race-baiting in real life, or whatever it is you do for fun.
You're overstating the "benefits" of being native, being a Status Indian myself, I should know.
Natives certainly do pay taxes. You can avoid paying income tax provided your job is on a reserve. Unfortunately, most reserves have been placed in far-flung areas where the land had low productivity, any windfalls were mere oversight. On my own reservation, there's two gas stations and the Band Office for work, almost all the people work in the nearest town and pay taxes just like everyone else.
I hear about us not paying taxes all too often, so it's not common knowledge, but should be. I'd probably deal with a little less racism if it were so.
Personally when I'm hiring (as I'm a geek in a high position; that scares you doesn't it) I dock people if they show up in a suite and tie; I assume they are trying too hard to cover up some lack of skills.
If they're wearing a suite, I think one of the basic skills is not knowing what clothes are. I'd dock them a bit more heavily.
With the effective monopolies in many markets, and the removal of equal access provisions by the FCC, it's more likely that the supply will be constrained artificially, making bandwidth more expensive. I'd be cheering too, if I were a shareholder.
"Except the changes in CO2 far exceed any measurement from the last 800,000 years"
i stopped reading right there. anyone claiming to have accurate readings back to 800,000 years is a liar
I suppose he can dig up the more correct figures for 6,000 years ago, the same time when dinosaurs were walking the earth and Adam and Eve were getting started.

Wouldn't a satellite named "QuickScat" be properly used for improvising jazz lyrics?
You're close. It does both. That way the weather forecast is more entertaining. Who doesn't like it when a middle-aged white guy starts belting out "skeep-beep de bop-bop beep bop bo-dope skeetle-at-de-op-de-day! "
I agree, a member of the police respects the law, jurisdictions and is accountable to a third party (say, judges). The us clearly wants nothing to do with those. "World Vigilante" is probably a closer term.
Sorry, I'm not quite following your phrasing here. Are you for or against the government getting one last shot at looting personal wealth, after taxing someone all his life?
How are the dead paying taxes? It's the person who inherits it (i.e. reports the inheritance as income) is paying the tax on something they didn't work for at all.

That or your reproductive system.
Not quite right. It's an IPS panel LCD screen, with an LED backlight .

Charter is obviously angling to become the new email provider for White House staff. This shows that they have the moxy to do the job!
I suppose there's a reason why "Ignorant" is part of his ID.

Ahh! I was just about to post the same thing, but read the thread to make sure no one else thought of it, drat!

It's not losing weight, it's losing mass!. The kilogram is not a measure of weight, but mass. Silly pound-centric editors :p

Well, 30 watts *is* less than 30 kilowatts. The TFS is (technically) correct.
Technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
Well the US is not the World Police.

I believe the Brits have an expression for situations like this: "Fuck off!"
I think we in the states used to have that one too..
When a Brit says it, it sounds cooler and classier.
