Who says TV is a "need" at all? It's just one of many forms of entertainment. If you're "saving" money by taking the money you'd have wasted on TV, and wasting it on other bullshit instead, you're not really saving any money at all now are you? Just like all these ringtones and other crap people waste money on. The Internet just makes it easier for people to waste money.
Funny, I don't seem to have any problem saving money using the Internet. Why drive to the grocery store, when I can buy 80% of my groceries and other basic essentials on Amazon.com--with a far wider selection and better (bulk) pricing--delivered straight to my door? Now when I do go to the grocery store I can just walk (or go to the corner store), since there's only a few things to get like milk and bread.
I understand that UR mad, bro etc. But seriously, how long do you think Obama will remain in office? I'm going to go way out on a limb and predict that he will leave office either in January of 2013 or 2017. If the former, it will be because democratic voters chose somebody else.
Or perhaps it will be because things only go bad enough that the people were finally able to overcome the machinations of the system and put someone real in office; like Ron Paul.
If the latter, it will be because of written law superseding leaders' preference to stay in office
Or it could be because said "leader" and his cronies have circumvented said law, while continuing to assure the people via their media tools that everything is as it should be.
Seriously: I get that the US government commits constitutional abuses from time to time. But that is a long way from dictatorship.
Sure it is. Just ask all those folks who had their doors and kicked in today in a SWAT style invasion, their dogs shot and wives and children harassed, on suspicion that the house might contain plants.....despite over half of the U.S. population now agreeing (despite full propaganda efforts to convince them of the contrary) that possessing or drying and smoking plants isn't and never should be a crime.
Not a dictatorship? Sure, just ask the people who come under Uncle Sam's radar for some minor thing, and now find themselves charged with 50 other "crimes", which of course they can't afford to hire a lawyer to fight. "Public defenders" are the biggest fucking joke of our "justice" system (beside the name), considering they pretty much do jack shit for you and in fact are often cronies of the judge and prosecution, getting a kickback for more convictions.
Meanwhile that speed limit sign out there still reads 55, and everyone still does 70 because that's the actual safe speed for this road....yet those cops still do sit on the side of the road in their brand new Dodge Chargers, pulling over people in their Escorts and banged up Chevy C10s.
What's that sir? You needed that $300 for your light bill? Well sir, I'm sorry, but the state needs it more.....and we can throw you in jail and fuck your life over....so I think you better start stocking up on candles and maybe some firewood....supposed to be cold this winter, and it's a damn shame they sent you that disconnect notice before the winter "no shutoff" date.
Let's not even get into talking about the for-profit prison industry, where men and women work at 49 cents per hour doing skilled labor for corporations. Or not; they can choose to just sit in their cells and twiddle their thumbs with no privileges if they prefer.
It's all a sick fucking joke. Let me tell you, tyranny and oppression is alive and well in this country. The difference is our "leaders" are masterful at hiding and legitimizing to such an extent that the very victims will even get on Slashdot and praise the system and scoff at anyone who suggests this isn't the freest country in the world, God damn it!!
Bro I agree with you that the U.S. has committed many crimes. It has also excused others of crimes so it can benefit. For example, we let Japanese and Nazi war criminals go free in exchange for their medical "research"; for example, Nazis who put prisoners in a cold room and carefully recorded how long it took for them to freeze to death and die; Japanese who did such horrible fucking things to people (such as hacking off limbs or removing organs while unsedated, just to give doctors practice) that I don't want to bring it up in polite company; go read up if you want.
If you want to make people see the evil and reject it, stop pointing to the nuke thing. We had good justification for using those bombs. We have done a million other things before and since which are NOT justified, and that's what we should be focused on if we're going to wake people up and make them see just what hypocrites this country is.
What's the difference between a nuke and a conventional bomb? Oh yeah, the nuke is more likely to end your life completely, via just blowing some arms and limbs off so you'll have scars to remember us by.
That's funny.....I could have sworn that this is a festering shithole of corruption. Maybe I'm just totally, totally off base.
The US is not a dictatorship?
That's funny, I could have sworn the entire news media is desperately trying to convince us that Ron Paul has lost and has absolutely no chance.....despite the fact that he is still in the race and looking more and more likely to win.
But of course, one person or group of people having control of a) events and b) the message, with no requirement for making a and b match, isn't tyrannical at all. As long as we can point to that there "Constitution", we're a democracy....doesn't matter if the President wipes his ass with it or not!
The country where they all come together and shout "Death to America" every single day? For over thirty years and counting?
For the same reason they shout "Death to Taxes"...and "Death to Traffic"
Overreaction is far worse than underaction. Enjoy your little World War; I'll be hiding waiting for you all to blow yourself to kingdom come, so me and my offspring can start picking up the pieces.
Points, condenser, coil. That's it. Also my radio is a tube radio so likely somewhat resistant to EMP. I only drive vehicles '60s or older.
Who would have guessed that the survivors of the apocalypse would be.... grandpa?
Nah, that's just whose car you'll need to steal.
That may not be funny. I have an acquaintance who is a self-defined survivalist. He stockpiles weapons and ammunition. I asked him why he didn't stockpile food, fuel, communications gear or any of the other stuff survivalists usually have in their garage. He said because with weapons, he can acquire everything else he needs. I guess that includes a car old enough to have mechanical ignition.
Yeah, that strategy will work great in the short term, right up until the moment his ass gets blown away by the first guy who had the foresight to stockpile food, seeds, plus guns and ammunition, and allies to boot.
My guess is your guy, if he's lucky, will end up joining some roving band of thieves which steals and plunders, generally making a nuisance of themselves and holding up progress, until their inevitable capture, trial, conviction, and hanging.
If he's not so lucky, my door will be the first one he knocks on.
Good luck upsetting the publishing business with your brilliant views! Burst forth, you need only say these words and hundreds of years of international copyright law will crumble!
Good luck upsetting the publishing business with your brilliant views! Burst forth, you need only say these words and hundreds of years of international copyright law will crumble!
Funny, cause I was under the impression that if a large enough and growing percentage of the population wants things to be a certain way, then that's the way it becomes, regardless of what the shrinking minority "declares" is "law."
I like how mod my comments are modded as Troll when I'm trying to explain why the situation is what it is yet your profanity laden brash response without any understanding of the concept is moderated as "Insightful."
1. Statistically speaking, 43.5% of Slashdot moderators are morons.
2. The parent's post said basically the same thing yours did, but with 1/8 of the words. Your big block of a paragraph was convoluted, and took its sweet time getting to the point. It was easier and quicker for people to understand the parent's than yours, which is why it got the upmods and you got the one moron to downmod Troll.
The reason child care laws came into place to begin with was that so many children were born to guys who went around fucking like dogs in the street and then left when the kid popped out
That's right, put all the blame on the guys. Because there were no instances of women "fucking likes dogs in the street" then abandoning their own children, now were there? Or are there? Giving them up for adoption, or straight up throwing them in dumpsters for another hit of crack?
If a woman makes a poor decision about who to fuck and be impregnated by, and has a child by that man, its her own responsibility to either raise him or find another man to help raise him. Trying to "force" a guy to care for and raise a child he doesn't care for or want is stupid and wrong. That's the whole reason lesser males exist--not necessarily to propagate the species themselves, but to serve a purpose by marrying hot women who were first fucked and impregnated by a greater man, and raise his kids. At least that's the only thing I can figure must be their purpose, considering how often it happens and has happened throughout the millions of years of human history.
(I'm in the "acceptance" stage of having learned how the world actually works, not "denial" or "bargaining.")
Shoulda got a prenup bro. I'd ditch her fucking ass and tell the government to fuck off, deport myself to a nice freedom-loving "third world" country such as Urugyay. Something tells me though that the personality which got you into this situation isn't the kind that will get you out of it. I hope you prove me wrong, and elevate your life beyond the bullshit the government has helped you make it. Best of choices (not luck) to you, bro.
Why should anyone waste their time sending NASA anything? We already have enough goddamn ideas already. What we need now is someone to put them into action, not more meetings to plan more meetings.
I think I was pretty direct about the fact that I think intentionally publishing misinformation on a wide scale should be THE highest of crimes, and why.
And who decides what's misinformation and what's fact?
Clearly you haven't though the implications of your grand idea...
You have to question why black and Hispanic males and females of all genders avoid the technology field?
Because Hispanic and African peoples are (generally speaking) more creative/visual/spatial thinkers, rather than logical linear thinkers such as Englishmen and Germans.
Moderations undone to post this, because I think many light bulbs will click on in people's heads when they understand what I'm saying here and how it applies to soooo many things in life. Yes, different peoples really are as genetically different in how they think and act as how they look.
(I'm part Irish and part English, so I see both sides of the coin.)
My surname is Cline....there's a little graveyard in Aurora, AL FULL of my fathers' graves, where they settled after they came from Ireland. I'm as much genetically Irish as any other Irelander.

Your mindset is the reason why you are poor. $60 a month certainly is a hell of a lot money regardless of where you're from.

Try ecstasy. It works. I didn't have to go through 40 years of hell; I escaped in my early 20s.
Why not just use a drug that's known to work....like MDMA (aka ecstasy), to treat these people?
