You'll have to forgive me. I am a sold IBM resource. Meaning they sold the project along with the work force. Yes, I am a little bitter. But the current settlement should appease that. Even if it is just a few hundred dollars.
...doesn't mean I don't understand. It's not that the right leaning are unaware. It's just that they don't give a rats ass who the rest of the world think they should vote for.
I don't know about the rest, but IBM doesn't make most of their own computers. They contract it out to companies like Sanmina-SCI, Solectron and others. S-SCI has moved most of the work to Mexico. But given IBM's relationship with their contractors, they may decide to slide this in after the contracts are signed.
The same people who bitch about it being too hot and that somebody else should put more clothes on are usually the same ass holes that ridicule people when they do. Why yes, I am cold as a matter of fact. No, I'm not hot with this leather jacket on. No, it doesn't matter that it's only September. A good number of people who are always hot, never think it may mean there's something wrong with them. Yet they shovel away two giant greazy burgers, stupid-size(tm) fries, large milkshake and a diet coke. No, it couldn't possibly be the high blood pressure from eating all those salty fries. If you're cold, put more clothes on. If you're hot, take some off. But don't bitch at people because they fix their own damned problems. m|n
Probably more like hitting on girls long enough to get a hair sample to use as a template for a clone. Or to mutate an already developed fugly girl into this new hotness. Geeks will never have to fantasize again.
The Libertarian party does NOT alighn EXACTLY with my ideals. But they are closer than anything else I've seen. Jerico seems more concerned with voting for someone 'who has a chance' than what will happen after either Dem or Rep win. And Jerico, since you took to calling someone a dumbass based on their opinion, you loose.
The ends do not justify the means in this case. Not that they have to. Nor is it expected that the two parties will follow any rules including their own. In an issue that could be resolved easily, knowingly breaking the law for political or commercial gain is usually considered wrong and selfish. I'm still trying to figure out why the agreement between the two parties seems to be trumping something as solid as a law. They must be worried they will be sued for breach of contract if they let anybody else play.
Have you not looked at the current set of idiots? I'd take a McDonalds 2nd shift manager, public school teacher and just about anyone with an honest job over a bunch of lawyers and businessmen. The people at the bottom have nothing to loose by doing what they think is right. The people at the top have plenty to gain if they do otherwise.
I would assume, as did the original parent post, that not being terminal was on the scale of human life as a whole, not individual life, which is still unfortunate. Take the Bubonic Plague, for example. It had the potential to destroy humanity, due to the lack of technology, specifically the knowledge of how it was transmitted. We know how AIDS is transmitted. And we have the technology to do more than prevent the spread. It's the lack of delivery of the much needed supplies and education in the third world that is killing it. I would also hope that the original parent doesn't think that people deserve to die of AIDS, or any other debilitating disease.
I completely agree with this. My friends think I should use an activity as an excuss to meet women. I consider it disingenuous, and not 'me'. And I would tend to expect someone I may meet to be of the same opinion. I'm sure many women in say a yoga class view the token male as some guy trollin' for flexible chicks.

My suggestion is to not let others, ie your friends and family, dictate to you what you should be doing socially. My friends collectively concern themselves more with my singleness than I do. I know my mother prays for her heathen son to find a nice Christian girl. They think it's a big deal that I've been single for so long, and I'm sure they think I'm getting desperate. Yet one even said I don't look desperate. I actually love not having to answer to anyone about where I am or what I'm doing. Even with the most casual relationship, this tension is apparent. I'm not saying don't 'get married' or 'stay away from women, they're all gold diggers'. Make up your own mind about what you want.
Guess it would be too much to say that neither side played fair or nice in the 2000 election. They are both politicians after all. Either way I'd say we were fucked from the beginning.

I prefer to take mine orally. ;)

Or carry about 100 or so at a time.
What if you claim to have stood too close while reheating a burito?
Or take a liesurely stroll through an electrical substation? Would that be enough?
Here's a thought, turn the TV off. That's what I did for Oprah.

There's actually about 100 people running for president. I'm talking Senate hearings level long and potentailly boring.
Not to mention they'd still have all the illegal international money comming in that the Libertarians can never, by policy, hope for.
What are the requirements to be considered a 'legitimate' political party? Specifically, what excludes the Libertarians?
It's not that. I think he just hasn't found any good hot young asia sex sites.

You forgot genocide, religious and tribal wars and being eaten by lions.
