I HATE the soviet russia jokes. I almost always mod them down whenever I get mod points. They're unoriginal, and usually sound 'forced' or nonsensical.
But I have to give it to you- this was the best one I've ever seen.
I agree with pretty much all you have to say, but I'm not quite sure I understand what you meant by this: Are these kids skipping American History/Civics and moving into Psychology and Sociology courses instead?
What do psychology and sociology classes have to do with a lack of understanding of the first amendment? You might as well have blamed kids skipping history class to take more math.
IANAIPL (I am not an IP lawyer) but doesn't this statement mean that nobody can make ANY type of baseball game? Not just ones with licensed characters, etc, but anythign having to do with baseball?
Well, no... MLB may own the rights to the players likenesses, but they don't own the sport of baseball.
So I think the original statement was somewhat innacurate... they can't possibly ban the creation of all of those games, as long as they don't include the actual players in the games.
Well, yes, but a vote for Kerry was a vote for split government, and a vote for split government is a vote for gridlock and lack of "progress".
You say that like it's a bad thing... if "progress" is an advancement of the neo-con Republican party agenda, and lack of progress is blocking that from happening, I'd love to see some of that gridlock.
the pre-conditions for communism to arise are not met. there is not a surplus of necessities. we simply can not feed/cloth/house everyone. scarcity still exists, and as such, communism is an inefficient economic system.
I think part of the problem is that for communism to "succeed", the capitalist economy has to be sufficiently developed as to eliminate scarcity, as you said. Once scarcity is eliminated, people no longer feel the need to make the transition to communism, since the system appears to be working well enough as it is.
I don't get it- the main difference between living on the iceberg and living in Sweden is the absence of the hot blonde babes on the iceberg, and YOU CHOOSE THE ICEBERG?!?!
"Wow, Sweden is great, but it would be even better without all the gorgeous women. I'm off to live on an iceberg!"
OT, but try www.epitonic.com if you haven't already. I'm pretty much in the same boat you are- I had no idea what to buy now that I've cut out my music downloading. I find a lot of bands I like through epitonic now.

The only people I can see having a true complaint are the drivers who want to hide their tickets in one state from LEOs in another state.
As someone who has a speeding ticket from another state that is several years past due, I think this legislation is a bad idea.

You are posting on /. hence you can't have a girlfriend let alone a hot asian one.
I think by 'hot japanese girlfriend' he meant his computer. Maybe it's overclocked?

I know a guy that spent $2,000 on a Darth Vader costume (and not for halloween)!
Did he get the version with a button to press when he needs his mom to come pick him up?
John Kerry the haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat, who by the way served in Vietnam,
This sounds like something taken word-for-word from the Queen of Trolls herself, Ann Coulter.
She'd be proud of you for your troll!
Nice work.
My favourite fact was the Al Quaeda secret bases hidden in the Afghan mountains.
You forgot to mention the ninja quarters, the shark tank, the giant laser, and the kung-fu army training grounds.
"What do you mean I'm fired? No one ever got fired for choosing IBM..."
We're changing the saying to "hardly anyone gets fired for choosing IBM."

Well, I hope the 30 char password doesn't have too many numbers on it.
It doesn't.
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US (with spaces)
3+1+4+1+4+1+3+1+6+1+2+1+2 = 30
That's 30 right there.
Next time he shouldn't tell us how long his password is, and I won't be able to guess it so easily.
That is a campaign speech lie.
Anyone have any idea of the theological implications of God's Vessel On Earth telling a lie?
"OMFG CORPORATIONS ARE THE EVIL"
You spelled "teh" wrong...

This is just another partisan political blog.
would it offend you less if the politics of the board more closely matched your own?

I bought an iPod this December and tried to give my 2 yr. old Sony MiniDisc player to about five people, and no one would take it.
Can I have it?

This is the best advice someone could be given. Mods- make it +5!
i've gotten chinese spammers shut down this way, when they laughed at me. they aren't laughing anymore.
Wow, you're right... getting a brutal dictatorship to torture and kill people who send you unwanted emails is *awesome!*
asshat.

Catwoman is also white not black, thank you Ms. Berry.
Well, Eartha Kitt played Catwoman on Batman in 1967, and she's black. So a black Catwoman isn't unheard of, or a new development.
I have the same urge when I'm at a walmart, but what's GTA?

How many 11 yearolds do you know that use the word "faux" let alone know what it means?
I did when I was 11.
Why is USA Today still in business?
It's all the pie charts.
Gotta be the pie charts.
