Perhaps we should collectively purchase a "Geek Island"
somewhere, and found our own nation.
What do you mean "we"? The computer geeks? The math-science geeks? The gun-nut geeks? The hippie freak geeks? The goth geeks?
I personally think it is a bad idea, for you would end an island with a 90% pimply-faced male geeks and a 10% homely female geek population.
Wait -- I would be willing to support a "geek island" as long as you take those Odin's Lounge White Power idiots with you!!!
Kind of like the US but with actual, real, rights embedded so deeply into the constitution that they could never be "got around" or misinterpreted.
Seeing as how most geeks sell out and become "libertarians" as soon as they get a chance, I don't think I can trust "leaders" like Bill Gates, Scott McNealy, Steve Jobs, and Steve Case to do anything for the "greater good of mankind" unless there is a buck in it for them...

Here in Texas, you can get a quarter-pound of some decent Mexican weed for ~$150-$225 U.S. per quarter pound. Gold is ~$265 an ounce, so if you can't get weed for less than $265 U.S. an ounce you obviously are paying entirely too much for it!!! (unless it is some bad-ass Hydroponic weed:-).
I am pro-legalization of drugs. In theory your.sig's heart is in the right place, but I think you could find a better way to phrase your opposition to the War on Some Drugs...

I have long thought that vast awards of "Punative" damages to plaintifs has hurt the legal system and driven up insurance and medical costs, as well as
many other areas
Punitive damages are intended to compensate the plantiffs who have proven in court that they have been harmed...
My idea on what would work right is that the people filing only get the "real" damages. For example in the microsoft case, give them 10 year salary or
something, good but not stupid. Then make microsoft pay the remaining 4.75 billion in punative damages but have it go somewhere else, not the plantifs.?
So even though I am the one that was harmed, someone else gets the money? That is a pretty stupid idea, as it removes incentives for those who have been harmed to go to court to try to get redress . It also removes any incentive the company has to never do something illegal that can be proved in court again... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!

My school, although specifically against affirmative action, does lower its standards for minorities in an attempt to erase
the 75% white, 75% male ethnic and gender divide, and what keeps happening, year after year, is the minorities they admit with the
lower standards fail out, leaving the upper classes 75% white, 75% male.
Nice anecdote, care to back that up those statistics with case studies? Can you find a "less qualified" minority that was admitted to your school so that he/she can verify your fantastic tale?
PS if your school is 75% White and 75% male, then you must be a what? White male? You must like it that way seeing as how unwilling you are to let the school even try to change that statistic... -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!

Don't forget that it is American college students we are talking about here!!!:-> -- You think being a MIB is all voodoo mind control? You should see the paperwork!
Meanwhile, the truly intelligent white college students will still be attending the
schools that any truly intelligent students can get into, the private institutions that admit solely on academic achievements, not on race.

The one downside
is the SUBSTANTIAL amount of financial aid available to minorities that isn't available to whites. IE: A hispanic valedictorian was given a full ride to my
school, although his GPA, SAT, courseload, and extracurricular activities pale in comparison to mine. I was given merely $10k/year of 'assistance',
much of which is comprised of loans.

If someone is actively being racist, yes, that needs to be stopped, but I think that minorities are
using the cry of "Racism!" much like the boy who cried wolf - and sooner or later, they are going to regret saying it when it wasn't warranted instead of
saving it for when it was.
So why haven't we had a minority President? Minorities vote for White candidates, why don't most Whites vote for minority candidates? Maybe because most Whites are Republicans and Republicans don't care about minorities save for the few token Blacks and Hispanics they manage to dredge up.
If I ever come to power, I am going to make it my mission to utterly destroy affirmitive action and make it law that no corporation may hire anyone on

Having "quotas" that grant preference by race or gender instead of qualifications is
just as evil as saying "I don't hire niggers or spicks, and a woman's place is in the kitchen."
I am wondering: were you born an idiot or did you become one later in life? Due to your flawed "reasoning" and use of unwarranted racial slurs, I think it is the latter.
Affirmitive action is racism and sexism, all rolled into one.
