<i>I'm still baffled by the concept that anyone with a blog would say anything even remotely worth plagiarizing.</i>
Considering your generalization of blogs and obviously unitiated point of view, I find it baffling that you would have anything worth quoting or referencing in any publication other than Jack Ass Monthly.
They are teaching you HOW to do a job, a process. I wouldn't consider it brainwashing unless they were trying to convince me of an idological perspective. When you join, you know what you're in for, your brainwashing happened all through your childhood. You know the part that suggested America is great and that you should offer your life up for the country by joining the military.
As a veteran, I resent your "brainwashing" assertion. Maybe to some it has that effect, but "brainwashing" in the military is no different than the "brainwashing" in any training. The fact is, in the military the stakes of your training are much higher - you are training people to deal with real life or death situations. The emperative is on accomplishing the mission, much like anything else you could learn to do, the difference is you could die if you fail in the military. Yes, this requires a certain amount of faith in leadership, but that is the nature of the military.

I purchased mine BEFORE the video ipod came out. I bought it specifically because there wasn't ipod video available, and I dislike the closed nature of the ipod. Additionally they already have a successor to the x5 called the a2 due out soon, which even the most zealous of iPod lovers have to admit blows the iPod away. http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/cowon/a2/ Yeah, the ipod video has ALMOST caught up to their old offering, but it isn't even close to their a2.
There's iAudio x5 that beats the shit out of iPods all day...has an fm tuner, line in recording, video, supports MP3, OGG, WMA, ASF, FLAC, WAV, MPEG4, JPG, TXT, AVI and it's comperably priced. Oh, and you can use it with windows, Linux and a mac. http://eng.iaudio.com/
So you are telling me that what has happened in these corrupt societies is a reflection of the original visionary? Without the little dictionary, there would be no communist societies - since the term would not exist. Since the term does exist as a produt of a vision, you should probably understand the original vision if you want to engage in broadbrush condemnation. Not doing so is like condemning various methods of transportation since people often die using them. Condemning commies went out with McCarthyism.
You are confused about communism. Communism doesn't neccessarily surpress freedom. Human nature surpresses freedom. Those in power seek to maintain their power - in any government. Communism is flawed because it seems to encourage mediocrity. Capitalism conquers that, but encourages greed. Most governments are flawed in one basic way or another - there is entrophy in any system, the flaws will amplify over time. As Thomas Jefferson said:
1787 Nov. 13. "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure." (to W. S. Smith, B.12.356)
Basically to retain freedom, you must reset the system from time to time. Radical? - maybe. Undeniable? - definitely.
I think if you had my ex-girlfriend you would understand the separation of logic and emotion. Yes, emotion drives decision making, but the more extreme the emotion, the less logical the response. Since women have been socially conditioned to be emotional, they embrace their emotions. This causes chemical reinforcement from the pituitary gland and an addiction to the peptides responding their emotions. This process reinforces itself until there is an inability to think logically for the most part as you are always juiced on emotions.
You do realize that the whole discussion of speed was with regards to saving gas - and not due to weather conditions or any other circumstances. In the case that is relevant to this discussion, e.g. driving 5-10 under the speed limit during normal weather conditions, my original point stands and I am still trying to understand the relevance of your post.
I do however agree that the average american driver sucks and those that would impede traffic would fall into the category of sucky drivers, as would those jackasses that drive excessively fast during inclimate weather.
First people driving 5 - 10 under the speed limit is unsafe - especially when everyone else is going 5 -10 over, second you would NOT drive with the windows up here without ac - good god it is 116 out there. As I said, it may be different where you are, but you are still an anal retentive weirdo.
Someone needs to talk to their therapist. To sacrifice safety on more than one level, and obsess so much about something can not be good for your home-life. Seriously, lighten up a few miles a gallon and get the hell out of the way. I live in Phoenix, so it may be more critical here, but if you see someone in the middle of summer with their windows down - they are hot and likely very irritable.
Aside from the fact it could send a message of "bankrupt the sue-er, and the sue-ee avoids court". While I am in complete favor of SCO dieing a horrible death, I would prefer it come after all of their frivolous bullshit is countered, squashed and McBride is frog-marched out the building. But until then, let them spend freely, and enjoy themselves, they're going to end up paying the tab if they are proven wrong anyway. Of course likely won't get all of the revenue they should have, but issue will be resolved. I'd rather go about it correctly, instead of waiting for "SCO 2: Vegenence is mine" and start from the top.
Yes, this scenario is in direct conflict with reality - - Justice favors the rich - The greater good are those that can afford representation
Nonetheless, feels a little sticky sweet to have SCO die due to lack of funds and not due to their behavior. This could also usher in an era where you win a lawsuit just by rendering another broke....where's the justice in that?
If you call it judgemental to recognize a mean-spirited liar and a hypocrite, then I guess I am judgemental. If you call it prejudiced because I dispise mean-spirited liars and a hypocrites, - guilty again. If you think it is exclusionary to include everyone but liars and hypocrites, well you've got me pegged. So I guess you're right, but I couldn't be any other way.
Up until "Ahem.", what you meant as sarcasm is truth - except the description of the "sweatshop-animated, 22-minute television sitcom" - since when is Klasky-Csupo a sweatshop?
A non-bushie gets that one tv show will not save us all and is but one piece of a larger point. Kinda like the poles melting suggests more than warm beaches in the artic. A bushie doesn't get it. This is because they're idiots. What these guys [The Bush Crime Syndicate] do is lie to the gullible, saying Jesus loves them and the "intellectuals" and other dissentors hate America. Thus, they [the gullible, child-minded, Bible thumping hypocrites] jump on board the Bush train in the name of Jesus
- only it isn't going where they [the gullible, child-minded, Bible thumping hypocrites] think it is going.
BTW, I hope your condition soon changes from "nearly" sick to just "too" sick of this place. Maybe then you'll take your "snarky, flamebait comments" and move along to hang out with the rest of them [the gullible, child-minded, Bible thumping hypocrites] because your trash is definitely not as valuable as your fragile ego may think.
Wow, it seems to me we need a verifiable vote, and more measures to ensure the accuracy of said vote.
As an independent, I welcome this change. Every Republican tactic suggests they do not. I wonder how many Red states there would be if/when the elections are fair. In fact, I wonder if the outcome of the last 2 PRESIDENTIAL elections would be the same. You think the reds in WA are pissed, I wonder if they are as pissed as every non-Republican in the country.
You wishing for a "fair" election reminds of the phrase "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it."
I know this is not what you said - I wouldn't expect any Republican to wish for a fair election. It might reflect the true will of the people and illustrate just how out of touch you are. Then you would have to go through that whole wrestling with your world view being wrong, then justify changing to the new winning side. We know how Republicans hate to be wrong.

I thought he had a pretty good point, even if he was a dick about it.

No, I don't work for them - but I love mine.
As much as he could.

It had to be said. Thanks.
That doesn't work, they just outsource to some IT firm...trust me. When they can have 5 guys for the price of me, it was an obvious choice -

Is this a spelling troll?
To "solve" a question, wouldn't it need to be asked first?
not4chan.org == "drawn" kiddie porn, you sick fuck.
The only thing I dispise is dishonesty.

Looks awesome - except, what about video? I can imagine video codecs, the site doesn't even mention video.
