"Congress has given the President the authority to wage war at his discression."
BTW, this, legally can't be done. Check the constitution. It states something to the effect that congress shall not delegate it's powers, etc. etc.
Legally or not, it's been done. Granted, the president has to get congressional approval once his 90 days are up, but our military can kill a lot of people in 90 days.
Apparently Congress thought this was important enough to override Nixon's veto. They don't let the president declare war but he can legally kick the shit out of anything he wants for 90 days. Smooth, eh?
Wow, you're right, I AM a tard. I guess the C++ quirks are right for me after all. =)

Demise of C++?

Yeah, I've noticed that for the last couple of years I've used C for crunchy stuff and C# for everything else. C++ has become superfluous for me.
Of course I always figured this was just my weirdness, I never realized anyone else felt this way about it. I sure don't miss those retarded C++ references and stream operator overloads.

1. The government could assemble a squad of assassins to kill off all of the white AOL users. This would serve two purposes; it would even out those percentages a bit and would raise the average IQ of internet users by at least twenty points.
2. The government could confiscate computers from white families and distribute them among minority communities. Optionally, the government could require all manufacturers of computer-related equipment to set aside a percentage of their products to be donated to non-pigmentally-challenged citizens.
3. The government and private institutions could provide scholarships and grants based on merit and/or financial need in an effort to make sure that all students have an equal chance to go to college and learn the skills that they will need to survive in our changing society. Oh, wait, they're already doing that.
4. People who can't or don't want to learn how to use computers could work construction or drive trucks or work on an assembly line or. . . no, this one's already being done too.

Or GNU's, http://www.gnu.org/music/free-software-song.html. I haven't heard it in years and I still cringe just thinking about it.

Personally, I prefer choice #1.
