so even if (and i'm doubtful) most people are conservatives right now, intelligent ones would still read well written liberal/left-wing articles (and vice versa.)
however, the key thing is that these sites all suck (no pun intended.)
their articles are rarely even entertaining, let alone informative or thought-provoking. consequently, nobody bothers reading them.

this has to be one of the most retarded 'reviews' i've ever read.
jesus christ, it's just some woman gushing about some guy. i have no more reason to believe either of them knows anything than i did at the start of reading the review (which means the review was totally unsuccessful.)
comparing this guy to einstein, galileo, copernicus, etc. is laughable.
uhh, no, they don't. did you not read the part where he said he did not sign anything stating he could not say what he wanted to about the company?
i myself have never signed such papers either and i've had quite a number of jobs. while some places do *request* that you sign such documents in order to get your severence pay, they can never force you to sign them, and many companies do not have such documents in their severence process.

i have railed against SUVs and the falsely-held belief by many that they are somehow safer than other cars on slashdot and many other places. just about any time the topic comes up. but there seems to be little that can be done to combat the fad other than just trying to steer friends and relatives away from purchasing trucks and SUVs unnecessarily (trucks have genuine uses, but i fail to see any needs that a 3-ton SUV fills that a smaller and safer minivan or better yet, wagon, cannot.)
this is a social problem, it's a dangerous, stupid and wasteful fad. while i'm usually very pro-darwinism, owning an Audi TT myself, it's always a little disconcerting when an Excursion comes speeding up behind me when i'm stopped at a light.
the misconception that he is 'safer' in that excursion comes from the fact that he's safer than i am in that collision, but if he's not any more safe than he'd be if he was in say, an Accord, Camry or Taurus.
in fact, he's less safe, he's unable to stop in a reasonable distance, swerve around obstacles to avoid collisions, etc. add to that the fact that when two three ton vehicles collide the resulting impact is far more violent than say, a collision of two Festivas or even Mustangs.
what's your view, thoughts and suggestions on this issue?

for daycare so they could go fuck hookers and smoke crack i would say you are right.
but they want the daycare so they can both go earn money to support those children and pay for their college.
that's great you are happy with your child going to community college, driving a neon and eating ramen pride, but not everyone is so lay off.
now asking for government-sponsored daycare, that would be another thing,.. this is just asking for more compensation from (rich and greedy) companies.

a) if you have a name attached to all of your posts i can see if you're a hypocrite, i can understand your point better by having read your previous posts and associating them with your current one.
b) it's *always* arguing with the person, because the person creates their 'point'.
etc. etc.
you're obviously a newbie or you'd have gone through this a long long time ago.
i'm not going to argue with someone who is actually stupid enough to believe that posting as AC is no different from posting under a single name all the time.
this is one of the oldest piles of bullshit cowardly anonymous posters always bring up.
it wasn't true on usenet and it's not true on web boards.

oh no, i had no idea i wasn't using the shift key.. it was totally on accident. you caught me, i really type very slowly and if i stopped to press the shift key glaciers would cover north america before i finished a single post!
