Then you are going to have to vote for Browne. Not to mention the fact that he will end the war on drugs, kill of the IRS and basically get the government out of the tech industry. But the supreme court justices he chooses will rule solely on the basis on the COTUS, period. Not on their iterpreatations (sp?) of the COTUS, not what they "FEEL" the Framers meant, but on what they actually put on paper. In closing a few choice words from the man who is the sole reason I will vote in this presidential election.
"If you vote for a Republican or a Democrat, you are giving up. You are basically saying, 'We will never have a smaller government, so I am voting for whoever will take me to hell at the slowest possible rate.'"

That was the most over-generalized, "This is what I have seen in my infinitesimal experience of the world, therefore it is true the universe over." statement I have ever seen. I would refer you to the movie "Orgasmo", even though you probably wouldn't watch it and even if you did your brain would go into offended mode and completely shutdown unable to see the social commentary it presents in places. One such thing is an exchange between Ron Jeremy and the supporting female role. Of course she goes on and on about the "Evil Perils of Porn " tirade and Ron Jeremy retorts that men are equally degraded and exploited in porn. Which the female replies that men are always the one in a position of power. Ron Jeremy counters with the fact that it is mostly men who want the product, so it exploits men's desires. See now someone with your narrow viewpoint of the world would never parse that exchange because your brain will not rationalize past your pre-established thought process. And you know what, I wouldn't want to meet any wymyn who let porn break up their marriage, I don't associate with wymynz who would blame me personally for Joan of Arc's demise and every other "atrocity" that has befallen wymynz in the ages. I am not even gonna go into the nauseating victimz stance you are promoting. If you are weak enough to let pictures break up a marriage you got other problems more important that porn sistah. Read my sig, be one with my sig, live my sig.

"Meanwhile, movies have stolen ever more brazenly from videogames' hyperkinetic grammar, exaggerated sound effects, and disregard for gravitational laws."
Poole got that right. Have noticed how many sound effects from Doom are used in movies. The biggest on was the last installment of the hellraiser series Bloodlines. All the ships operating sound effects where taken from Doom. The sound of the doors opening, the sounds of getting a stimpack etc. etc. have all been used in several different movies.
Well if that is the way you look at it, your entire life is a waste of time, so why don't we all put a bullet in our heads and call it a lifetime? Doing something you enjoy and recieve entertainment from is never a waste time, of course do all things in moderation. Using your hypothesis above one can consider movies, books, sex, friendships and any other for of recreation a waste of time. Man you must live a pretty dull life.
The show has always made as much fun of Christians as it has supported them. The fact that you never noticed is not surprising though. Christians are not known for their analytical questioning of everything around them, nor their attention to detail.
Lisa: What religon are you Dad?
Homer: Ohhh you know, the one that is filed with lots of good intentions, but doesn't work in day to day life.
Lisa: You mean Christianity.
Homer:Yeah that's the one.
That was from episode that is pretty old.
"With witty comentary like that I could be an action hero." -H. and B. Simpson
I hate to see what you think the average family is.... cause it sure isn't the simpsons. The show, to me anyway, has always been all about the laughs, if I wanted to watch a story I would watch chicago hope err something
I have to go with Homer having the Head of a Donut and Chief Wiggum and the rest of the police force are standing around outside the house, holding thier guns in one hand and thier cups of coffe in the other. "Don't Worry Boys.... he's gotta come out sometime." Or
When Homer imagines his evil self "I am evil homer. I am evil homer. I am evil Homer."
orrrrrr.....
The time Bart gets that dog Laddy and finds Santa's Lil Helper and that blind guy's house and the cops find a bag of weed on the blind guy. Then Bart gets sent home, Lou comes over to the house with some hookers and they all start getting high. Man Chief Wiggum doing Bob Marley is just classic.
orrr...... you know there are just to many to choose from...
Ahhhh the simpsons you really have to love it when fine tv programming gets the recognition it deserves. In a tv schedule filled to the brimm with complete garbage, you can always rest assured that there will be a jewel on every sunday night (and in my area 2 times a day Mon.-Sat.) I have never seen a show that could compare to The Simpsons satire, witt and sarcasm. In particular the social satire is what has made the show brilliant. But now I wax pointless... Really I have 2 things to say; 1. The Simpsons are an excellent personality test. You can break people into 2 categories those who don't like The Simpsons and those who do. And if there is a choice, people who like The Simpsons generally don't spend much time with people who don't.
2. Most of the funniest episodes of The Simpsons always have something to do with Conan O'Brien. Conspiracy maybe......

I applaud etoys decision to drop the suit, and the people of the Internet community that pushed them in that direction, but there is a more significant issue at stake. How did they ever get the injunction in the first place? The mere fact they won a temporary injunction is frightening to me. Based on the fact that they never owned the domain, it was not even the same name, and last but far from least etoy was around years before etoys, how could any rational person grant an injunction, it boggles the mind. At this point it looks good for the Internet community you know, all is well that ends well and that type of stuff. But what is going to be the out come when this happens again? And what will happen when the site in question is not an internationally acclaimed web site? Will that web site receive the same support as etoy received? The fact that etoys is pulling the suit is a step in the right direction, but there needs to be a clearly defined procedure in place that will not allow this to happen again. And it should be defined by the people/institutions who make the Internet thrive and not by those who thrive off the Internet. Maybe etoy should follow through with their suit and put the screws to etoys. If they win then it would be a major coup for the internet community, something that would make Mr. A. Huge Korporation think twice about hassling little Johnny web site owner. Removing the injunction is wonderful, but that only remedies a symptom, the cause is what needs to be fixed.
The diference would be where your physical location is. I just assumed that it was illega where this guy lived, because it is almost illegal every in the us except for very few places. If it is legal in his location then amex and disc have no responsibility.
Question, how is Amex and Disc. supposed to know he was a gambling addicted? Is there some sort of online gambling addict profile test you can take? He would have to look good on paper to some degree to get $25,000 worth of credit. Contrary to your oppinion credit card companies don't just throw out $10,000 - $20,000 credit lines to any joe smoe with a bank account and an address. Obviously his credit history did not wreak of gambling addict.
As for your first point. If an addict (any addicted) hits rock bottom they are just as likely to stay there as they are to get out. I guess you don't know to many addicts. Read Junkie sometime by William S. Burroughs it will give you an insight into addicts. And you can't allways spot an addict just by looking at them, looks can be decieving.
You are taking an all or nothing stand point here yourself. By saying that everything is Grey your saying there is no existence of black or white, when in certain cases there is. What I could gather from your post is that things are always (an exclusive operative here) a combination of faults and responsibilities when in fact that is not right. Somethings are black somethings are white and some things are Grey.
All or nothing attitudes have a great degree of validity in a lot of circumstance. The basis of a free society can be found, to some degree, in the theory of all or nothing attitudes. In a free society you have the freedom to succeed, you have the freedom to fail, and if you fail it is your problem and yours alone. To place the responsibility on other people a long the way for the failure is to say you don't have the freedom to fail. If you don't have the freedom to fail you don't live in a free society. *Side Note we don't live in a free society at least not yet. The point you are making in my opinion is in direct conflict with the foundations of a free society.
The Credit Card Company should assume no civil liability for this mans actions. Apparently he looked good on paper to get $25,000 worth of credit and that is all the credit card company should be concerned with. Now legal liability is a different story, since online gambling is illegal, credit card companies would be directly aiding criminal activity and they would have a degree of legal liability. The reference you make about bars and pubs is skewed. Pubs and bars stop serving people not because of some moral responsibility as you allude to. but because it is the law. And the reason it is law is not because the pub shares the responsibility if this guy drives into a truck full of nuns. But because getting intoxicated and going into public is illegal, driving a car intoxicated is illegal. Serving someone liquor after they are intoxicated is aiding criminal activity. This is the same as aiding and abiding laws. Many people share the belief that this is law because of a shared responsibility, and that may have even been the whole idea behind the law when it was passed. But it is not justified because of this reason. It is justified because aiding illegal activity must be illegal to help stop that type of activity.
Yup I have spent 24 years in this country (never been out of it) and would say the same things. When looking at America, don't believe the hype. In country where some one can get millions for spilling coffee on themselves, where murders walk free and hard working tax paying pot smokers get locked up, you have to see that something is inherently wrong. But some many Americans don't/won't believe it. Because believing it means shaking the entire country's belief process to its very core. It is scary to think what kind of wake up call it will take for this country to realize this. Now, don't get me wrong I love this country, hell I have served this country, I would die for this country, but if this trend of ignorance (not just on the part of the citizens but on the part of the government as well) continues I don't know if I will be able to say that it 10 years, let alone believe it.
That sounds like more a legal case rather than a civil case. At any rate even if it does fit the letter of the law, it is still a stupid law suit. If a person can't take responsibility for their own actions then they have no right wasting my oxygen, let alone legal recourse.
I don't know about other nationalities but we Americans (not all but a majority) for some reason can not take responsibility for our own actions. People always have to pointing the finger at some else screaming "It is not my fault". This has been a problem for so long that it has infested every institution in our country. This has also lead to the solving of problems by tackling the symptoms instead of the cause. Which eventually leads to the corruption of freedom and the disappearance of self-autonomy. The incident in Colorado earlier this year is one example, the war on drugs is another example. This society displays over and over again that it can not take responsibility for it's own actions but some one has to... With freedom comes responsibility society can not have one without the other.

I know most of you probably use gamepads for 1st person shooters, but as far as I am concerned you can't beat the free-mouse look in games like QuakeII, Unreal, and Half-Life.

I am not a programmer, it bores me. I am a Sys admin 8 years expiernece MCSE+i (necssary evil) A+ and currently working on my cisco cert. I am the freakin plumber of 21st century man. No worries about my job prospects. The job market won't decline, technology advances so fast it always opens up new niches. People have been saying the job market will decline for the past 15 years, don't beleieve cause it isn't, Barring any social breakdown/civil unrest. The economy might breakdown but communications will always be hot, and in a few years all comms. will be IP based. As far as I am concerned college proves one thing your a sucker. As far as prgramming goes I learn enough to get by, but I can learn more in 2 weeks by reading a book and messing aroud with it then I could in 3 months of college. And being a college grad is nothing special either there a millions out there just like you as well (if your a grad I don't know if you are or not).

Yes you did hit a nerve what did you expect with a post like that. And man no one bags on people for typing, I could say the same thing about the typing on your first post. And if you had the skills you wouldn't need a degree. Go ahead waste your money on college. The reason I get a 1 is because I am a registered user. All registered users automaticaly get a score of 1.

Well I was refering to basically all crusades which had nothing to do with protecting christianity, but to further wealth of engalnd and other countries. 15 people died in the inquisition? What!!!???? Are you smoking crack? I Bet you don't believe the Holocaust happened either. 100s of thounsands of people died by the hands of your christianity. And oh yes being burnt at the stake is such more a civilized way to mame murder and torture someone. Thank you for that quantum leap in civility christians. Oh but if it is to protect the church that it is ok. You said bring facts? Why don't you bring the right facts instead of regurgitating propaganda the chuch has taught you to spew forth. And yes there many other whitch trials far more worse then the one in Salem. Salem is just the most noteable. And if you payed attention to my post I said I could go on and on and on and on, but I thought you would get the point. I guess I was wrong. And whitches do exsist today I know quite a few of them. Thank the goddess you believe they don't exsist or else this whole country would look like mississippi during the 60's with a body hanging from every tree. See you prove your intolerance by agreeing with c.s.Lewis' statement. "Ohh, these people think differently let's burn 'em at the stake". Typical christianity contridicting itself at every turn. You want fact I will give you fact. More blood has been shed on this planet by the hands of christians then any other group in history. Period, weather you believe it or not.

See you prove your intolerance by agreeing with c.s.Lewis' statement. "Ohh, these people think differently let's burn 'em at the stake". Typical christianity contridicting itself at every turn. You want fact I will give you fact. More blood has been shed on this planet by the hands of christians then any other group in history. Period, weather you believe it or not.
