Is it wrong to work for the civil rights of some people, if you don't actively work for everyone else too?
Personally, if you don't work for the civil rights of all, then you're not working for civil rights. You're working for Asian rights, Jewish rights, Hispanic rights, etc. There's nothing wrong with championing Asian rights or Jewish rights or gay rights or whatever you want. Just don't dress yourself up as civil rights when you're not really in it for civil rights.
As said by Pastor Niemoller:
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
If Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were actual civil rights leaders, they work to benefit all races, not just theirs. If Jackson, Sharpton, and the NAACP (the 'c' is for 'colored') did their jobs correctly, no one would ever be caught asking about the Asian variation of Jackson and Sharpton.
Unfortunately, Jackson and Sharpton are simple charlatans using race as a springboard for their own agendas. Civil rights is color blind. It'd be handy if people we believe to be civil rights leaders would start practicing that.
Has anyone ever heard of a case where Jackson and Sharpton have acted in the interest of the Asian community? Hispanic? American Indian? Arab Americans? Yugoslavs? Romanians? Jews?
Seriously: why does the very same sentiment in the US produce such vitriol?
Democrat perspective: Multiculturalism is good. Embrace different cultures. Don't be so close minded.
Republican perspective: We've got to find a minority voting block to offset the African-American voting block.
Note that I say Democrat and Republican. I can't profess to know what's going on with the liberals but the conservatives don't necessarily agree with the Republican's viewpoints on this issue. I'm with the "l2english" crowd. Saves a ton of printing for the government if we don't have to crank out DMV forms, etc. in a dozen different languages.
Just adding to the parent, Republicans see Hispanics as the new Black. Some members of the leadership strongly believe that embracing this emerging voting block is essential to the party. Other members disagree very strongly. I'd almost say violently but they haven't reached that degree yet.
Democrats are Democrats and are always too afraid to go hard-line on anyone that might be perceived as a protected class.
If you're looking for immigration reformed in the USA, you are shit out of luck.
Well, let's dissect that "terrorists win" rhetoric for a second shall we?
We elected Democrats to the majority in Congress right? And right now the Democrats are pushing for us to leave Iraq. Rightly so. Ending wars is a highly desirable thing. So if we leave Iraq, do the terrorists win or lose?
You have that wrong. Conservatives would have you believe that competition is the solution to all problems. One of the ways that you achieve competition is through privatization since the government is terrible at competing with itself. However, privatization that results in one company doing the work on behalf of the state (as the case above), there is no competition. There is no performance difference in a single private organization doing work on behalf of the state and a public organization doing work on behalf of the state.
But while we're addressing this particular case, you should do your math. If Unspam is sucking up 80% of the revenue and Utah is only getting $37k, there isn't enough revenue in the entire market to even meet $3-6 million. In other words, there is not a $3-6 million market in Utah for this business no matter how much revenue Unspam sucks up. Even if Unspam sucks up 0% of the revenue, Utah still isn't getting $3-6 million in revenue.
Squeeze a rock all you want. There ain't no water.
Back in 2002 or so when the dollar was beginning its early plummet versus the Euro, China was one of the countries working on propping up the dollar. They gave that up as soon as they realized that our government had no interest in propping up the dollar.
A strong dollar is good for buying imports. A weak dollar is awesome for propping up US manufacturing.
This is your fault. You held your nose and kissed 'em, and let politics make strange bedfellows [cartoonsdammit.com], and if you haven't the stomach for a divorce by now (even despite the up-front pain and cost) then that's COMPLETELY your own fscking fault.
Whose fault? Mine? I wasn't born when these events took place so I'm not sure who I'm kissing or making bedfellows with.
As a Democrat, Carter did the right thing to chase these whackos out of his party
Absolutely. It's good for the party but terrible for the nation. If your goal is to make Democrats a better party, then sure. Brilliant move. If your goal is to make this nation better, you screwed up. Which again goes to the point that Carter is a great Democrat but a terrible American.
You ignored Carter's greatest mistake ever, the mistake that has unfortunately screwed over American politics and will continue to do so for ages to come. Carter alienated what would later be known as the "religious right." This group was firmly entrenched in the Democrat Party's side prior to Carter's time. It wasn't until Carter's Treasury Dept. folks decided to change how taxation was going to apply to religious private schools in the south that this particular voting block switched sides overnight.
This resulted in the Republicans being saddled with the religious right and forever screwing up the right wing and American politics. 3 decades later we're still dealing with it.
Google desktop is about a decade too late. The first actual useful desktop searching (as implemented by OS X and Vista) was done with BeOS back in the mid-90's with basically the same features used by those two newer OSes today. Google Desktop is a wholly inferior product because it does scheduled indexing while both OS X and Vista indexes on writes. Your searches are never based on stale data. Google Desktop can't do that because it's not hooked into the filesystem.
So recap. BeOS was first. Everyone else was 10 years too late.
Fundamentalist religious forces are demanding the weaking of science and math education in schools because these subjects don't coincide with their mythology. No wonder U.S. students are so weak in these subjects!
In 2001 Mr. Young, Mrs. Wyatt and an assortment of other well-paid school administrators, defined the new number-one priority for teaching mathematics, as documented in the curriculum benchmarks, "Respect for Human Differences - students will live out the system wide core of 'Respect for Human Differences' by demonstrating anti-racist/anti-bias behaviors."
You need to think a little more clearly on this. They have visibility but if I drop you in the middle of Africa with a 12-pack of Coke and Google T-shirt guess which brand the natives are going to recognize?
Brands are very difficult thing to build. Apple/Google are currently (rightly so) should be monitored but they haven't built their brands to be recognizable world-wide yet.
For the record, Coke still stands as the #1 most recognizable brand in the world. Best of luck toppling that monstrosity.

If Xbox could play my iTunes content, sure. Unfortunately, it doesn't. So I own an ATV along my Xbox. And countless other consoles.
I don't care what other features iPhone has. The ability to listen to voicemail in random access beats everything else that exists today.

Point of order. The impeachment of Clinton was due to perjury under oath, not blowjobs.
Now that we've gotten that straight, put Cheney under oath then get that ball rolling.
Anyone who still repeats the meme that Clinton was impeached for getting blowjobs has never heard of the word "legal brief" in their lifetime.

XBox doesn't have Max Payne exclusively. The key is platform exclusivity. Sony and GameCube has been playing that game forever now.
XBox has Halo and Gotham Racing. That's it. And XBox live if you're really into playing with 12 year olds.
Your binary gets interpreted by the local parser too. It's called a CPU.
./configure, make, and make install? Simple. Not everyone wants to distribute source code. Shocking, I know.
