"If people were given the plain truth about some things, they simply couldn't stomach it. "They can't handle the truth" and I believe that to be the truth."
Well, yes, I agree that disinformation is actually way worse than just saying the truth. But prohibition does make the drugs in the streets unhealthier than the should.
Go look for friedman's video in America's Drug Forum. The old bastard had it so well thought out, that he has me convinced that people die from bad drug use, mostly, because drugs are illegal.
I agree. Bushes idiocy has nothing to do with coke.
On the other hand, Winston Churchill was an alcoholic through and through and id make him eternal despot king of the galaxy if I could pull it off, bringing him back from the death.
He wouldnt accept, which is the whole point, isnt it?
Then again if there is something the size of earth it would be two small for us to read it, no? So even in that method, we can only "see" star systems with majorly big ass planets anyhow?
No to be just, if all you have is 250 points, you try to make the best of them and put a footnote: hey, we have only 250 points.
Scientists are doign what they have to do. Its people that comes up to conclussions that the scientists have not arrived to what is irking and non-scientific.
The question is: for the kind of cash they pull in, and their sheer size, one would expect SOME SORT OF DECENCY in the design of their shit, specially if its the second out the door.
I was also the proud owner of a tibook 400... yeah, the one that spontaneusly broke appart from heat due to the "TI" part (although it did look cool at first).
Even if I agree with almost every single word you say here, and certaintly with your final stance, I think you have not taken the time to understand how did the soviet regime evolve, and what could be rescued (and was rescued to the point of positively affecting life even in america) from the socialist ideals.
Id recommend, from an anglo-centric perspective, the biography of the great G. K. Chesterton, a social-liberal of the early XX century that youve certaintly heard of and probably read (the "Father Brown" books). Id also recommend freud and marcusse while we are at it.
I agree with you: occident and liberal democracy is superior than anything else the world has come up with.
But that doesnt mean the "other side" is not also gray: I think it is in many ways.
But it sure as hell is no divine entity that has all the moral authority in the world to speak or impose democratic values: there is no good god of anything, my friend, at all.
There is people, who are just evolved monkeys and make huge mistakes all the time, and make cruel disgusting acts all the time, and are capable of love and understanding and art just as well all over the world (yeah, even in "soviet russia").
I dont know why some people always want to see things black or white.
I live with japanesee and am a very close political relative to a japanesee family: I really think I can make this judgement on that ground: iknow them as a family member.

Well no, i really meant i hate her little readheaded ass i would wish she had never been here in the first place.
An even better idea: A pertinent end to the little bitch.
I HAIL
Your script does not scale.

Bah, who knows, im just yappin.
Very cool idea!!
Expensive too.
Can we send an iPhone?

Shut up whingeiner
I really don't wanna know how can you be so certain of all that.
The question is: for the kind of cash they pull in, and their sheer size, one would expect SOME SORT OF DECENCY in the design of their shit, specially if its the second out the door.
+1 hilarious
Now I wont be able to sleep.
I knew i shouldve waited.
Again bitten by Jobs's first-out-the-door gizmo.

I guess some of us will never learn.
And hell, while we are on our best seller list: Ginsberg, Burroughs and the beatnicks in general.
And some listening to the beatles might help as well.

"Commence the "troll" moderations, and "insightful" responses on how the US is just as bad..."
Really?
This "natural law" does not appeal to me at all. Specially since its variable and everyone may have their own.
I fully support your statement otherwise: China should not be welcome to our party if it wont play ball.
Its not "just as" bad.
But it sure as hell is no divine entity that has all the moral authority in the world to speak or impose democratic values: there is no good god of anything, my friend, at all.
There is people, who are just evolved monkeys and make huge mistakes all the time, and make cruel disgusting acts all the time, and are capable of love and understanding and art just as well all over the world (yeah, even in "soviet russia").

Not true. You only need to develop procedures for dealing with them once.
Of course, there are more than five licenses, but most say basically the same things.
Furthermore, OSS licenses do not restrict use, ever, they restrict distribution outside your company.
simply not true, my friend. Commercial Distros support all the sw they provide and that's much more than the os.
