Why don't they bring back RoboTech? That was the most kick ass series when I was a kid. I wish they'd bring it back - the original ones, with Min Mae and Rick Hunter!
I think this mainly shows how politicians just don't get it still. They think of the net in terms of it only being American. They are dead wrong and foolish, as usual. More importantly, our government has what I like to call the Anti-Midas touch - what ever they put thier hands on, turns to shit. This will be no different.
What if, for instance, we used this as a platform to build a ship that didn't have to survive atmospheric contact? We could build something REALLY big from here, and use it to jog from here to Mars - or even to the asteroid belts. *I* for one would love to know what's out in those belts. They could be a PHENOMINAL source of raw materials for us. Just think how much water could be out there? We could latch onto a big big (think small moon sized) chunk of ice and slam it into Mars - viola! Instant water vapor for an atmosphere! There are other applications as well!
... they have what's called "at will" employment. This happened to me at SBC Communications last year. EVERYONE on my floor had MP3's, but my computer had the misfortune to get scanned, and viola! 4 days before christmas, I'm out of a job. WW is right above when he points out that this only happens at the most fascist companies, but they DO have the best benifits. Standard offer at Bell was 43k for a entry level 1st level mgr with other compensation that brings the value of the package (which I have a copy of, as my wife was made just this offer in the same department) to about 61k for the first year - a package that most other companies (think small to medium) have a hard time matching.
So, people WANT to work there because the pay is good, the opportunities are excellent, the benifits are beyond par - but the security is draconian, the policies unclear and termination occurs without recourse.
Go read Dilbert. Scott Adams came up with Dilbert while working at PacBell, which is owned by SBC.
Damn I need to start getting up earlier. I was just going to post EXACTLY what you just wrote! I think he should trollslap or modslap (what ever it's being called this week) himself and quit posting stupid crap like this. F'ing Trolls!
Is that what I am? I've always wondered... F'ing Trolls!

That point is valid, using OSM as an excuse is not. That was my only point.
What it gets OSM is entertainment in some way as near as I can tell. Hey, it takes all kinds, right? I don't like it, you don't like it, but he for some reason does.
OSM DOES NOT COUNT!!!! Please, develop a sense of humor! OSM is a Troll, and yes, he got you guys pretty good on that one, but so what???? It's OVER now, and using OSM's prank as a justification for a "K5 doesn't like us" slam is just plain WRONG!
A lot of this is due to manipulation of the governement by big business. The MAIN reason we buy oil from overseas is so the oil companies don't have to pay hard working americans to drill it out of the ground. I know this for a fact: I own mineral rights in Texas, and you can BET I'd have some good cash right now had gas shot up any higher than it did. I couldn't understand why we weren't drilling already, but it's NOT that it's that much more expensive to get it here, it's that the cheep ass oil companies don't want to share the wealth so to speak with the people.
I don't. It wouldn't suprise me in the least. This is how our government works. I didn't think that either until I spent 8 years in the Navy. No different there. It's not right or wrong, it's who you know and how connected your opponent is. Fawking Trolls!
Thanks for proving my point. Moderation here is totally broken. My post was topical, and not either trollish or flamebait. Thank you for proving that your level of maturity was arrested at age 6. Fawking Trolls!
No, it was a reference to something else that happened to me here a few weeks ago. I posted a short post about a simmilar situation and was modded down, so of course I suspected that I was modded down for saying it.:-)

Take a closer look, it's not me.
This isn't me.
I never post while not loged in. This is not me.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! Dude, that was TRUELY classic! I bow before your superior bastardry.

Click Here. There is also some good information on when the other missions will take place, and what the other modules are going to be named.
I espically love how it will be so loud in the thing, residents will have to wear earplugs! Great! Where do I sign up!

If you FEED the Troll, you have to take it HOME, and keep it!
F'ing Trolls!
No, he was doing exactly what I said. He was using OSM as an excuse (and a lame one at that) to justify the unjustifiable.

To quote Mark Twain, "I have no respect for a man who can only spell a word one way."
Fawking Trolls!
Sigh. Okay, what you say IS *TECHNICALLY* correct, but if you check and see we get much LESS oil from there than Europe does.
Fawking Trolls!
Wrong - Pakistan IS strategically important, but it is not allied with us - that's why we've bombed it.
Fawking Trolls!
And, we produce some of our own, or buy it from Mexico and other places. Unlike the EU, we don't get ALL of our oil from the middle east.
Fawking Trolls!
