that's very good to know, it seems a bit inconsistent with what is stated on his campaign web site though You are aware that he runs for office in Texas? Texas. THAT Texas. When he talks about immigrants he means the constant influx of poor Mexicans, not skilled workers applying for visas, and that does mean he is "unconstitutional, unlegitimate, immoral, unethical, etc)", as you claim. And I don't even think that "unlegitimate" is a word.
When is someone going to bring up yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre? She called in a bomb threat?
Because THAT would be the equivalent limit on free speech as yelling fire in a crowded theater: Yelling "I have a bomb" in an airport. That's not what she did. She wore a home-made light up shirt while playing with a child's toy.
If a girl with a geeky shirt and a child's toy scares you, YOU are at fault, not her.
you can build a device that looks NEARLY EXACTLY like this one which will easy build up enough voltage to set off a small detonation cap.[...] All you need is a fistfull of explosive putty with small detonation cap embedded in it and to ground the high voltage lead through the detonation cap onece the charge has built up. And you could put that device in a stuffed animal.
Why not point guns at people with stuffed animals, since they too COULD be bombs?
- Ron Paul is an authoritarian power-freak opposed to immigration. Sure he is not an über-authoritarian-power-freak like most candidates but the fact remains that his position on immigration make him despisable.
- Immigration is very important to the tech industry. Recently MS moved a research center to Canada for lack of H1B visas in the US. Voted YES on more immigrant visas for skilled workers. (Sep 1998)
a whole generation of shoplifters. We all know that a good number of these youngsters wouldn't think twice about ripping someone off given the chance, as one can see from the bald-faced filesharing Go back to making sure these "youngsters" from that "whole generation of shoplifters" are off your lawn.
The Fourteenth Amendment is more relevant to the question at hand:
Amendment XIV Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Only citizens get rights. You fail.
Seriously, did you even read what you quoted? Damn!
it is rather assumed that the reader will get the hint. "We the People of the United States of America..." should be enough of a clue. Yes, the fact that you can't even quote the text correctly is enough of a clue. You just add stuff that sounds right to you, in line with your jingo sense of worth.
Your opinions are based in ignorance and prejudice, and it shows.
I ignore your "WRONG" statement end suggest you look at Troll -- A Troll is similar to Flamebait, but slightly more refined. This is a prank comment intended to provoke indignant (or just confused) responses. A Troll might mix up vital facts or otherwise distort reality, to make other readers react with helpful "corrections." Trolling is the online equivalent of intentionally dialing wrong numbers just to waste other people's time.
So I was saying something intentionally false to be corrected? Nope... I was intentionally wasting other people's time? Nope...
Huh, look at that, I wasn't trolling. Guess someone shouldn't be allowed to have mod points if they don't know what to do with them.
To be fair, cricket is a made up sport without any real rules that the British and their colonies play in order to confuse outsiders.
If only you knew the true horrors of the origins of cricket..... That's one reason the rest of the universe looks down on humans. To make a game based on the Krikkit Wars..... Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so.
I ignore your "WRONG" statement end suggest you look at Your command of the English language has defeated me. A man such as you, able to use homophones in lieu of the correct vocabulary, and so engrossed with his own sense of self that he does not need to read rebuttals to know that they are worthless, is not an adversary against whom I should engage myself.
Therefore, you MUST be right! That word you grafted into the preamble must have simply been invisible to an inferior man such as myself. You, born of noble blood and superior to a commoner such as me, have graced me by speaking my name! I feel humbled, and honored that you have shown me the ephemeral truth that my senses cannot detect on their own.
And that was after this horrible nightmare scenario was implemented:
http://archive.salon.com/news/feature/2000/01/13/drugs/print.html With this deal in place, government officials and their contractors began approving, and in some cases altering, the scripts of shows before they were aired to conform with the government's anti-drug messages. "Script changes would be discussed between ONDCP and the show -- negotiated," says one participant.
Rick Mater, the WB network's senior vice president for broadcast standards, acknowledges: "The White House did view scripts. They did sign off on them -- they read scripts, yes."
The arrangement, uncovered by a six-month Salon News investigation, is known to only a few insiders in Hollywood, New York and Washington. Almost none of the producers and writers crafting the anti-drug episodes knew of the deal. And top officials from the five networks involved last season -- NBC, ABC, CBS, the WB and Fox -- for the most part refused to discuss it. The sixth network, UPN, failed to attract the government's interest the first year of the program; it joined the flock this current TV season.
Which leads us to the obvious conclusion that the White House, under the authority of Karl Rove (and now his successor, new boss, same as the old boss), is in charge of editorial influence on the content of network news.
"We the people of the United States of America" [...] just because it doesn't SAY "citizen" or "resident" or whatever doesn't mean it covers the world's population. Wrong.
And whenever a right is not granted to a person who is not a citizen of the united states, those conditions are explicitly enumerated:
Article I: No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen.
Article II: No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
And more importantly, article III says: Section 2. The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;--to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;--to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects. http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.articleiii.html
Kerry's opening statement: "To make sure that is really is a dialogue, I'm gonna try to shorten my comments up front and see if we can't lengthen the amount of time that you all get to ask some questions."
Are you assuming that he meant so that each individual got longer to ask questions instead of that more people should get to ask questions? If so, it's not supported by what he said there, and the behavior of the moderators and the crowd should make pretty clear that that's not how they interpreted it. It's a huge stretch to argue that that's what he meant. Considering that he was trying to answer the question, that he said it was an important question, it's a huge stretch to assume the contrary.
And since you're arguing that asking a question that is longer than 15 seconds is an offense worthy of police intervention and arrest, I don't think you're in a position to lecture anyone about how to interpret events.
as a Brit [...] Cricket incompetent Austrians. To be fair, cricket is a made up sport without any real rules that the British and their colonies play in order to confuse outsiders.
That number is never truly OWNED as it is recirculated once the book goes out of print; many books have the same ISBN but only one in print book at a time can use it. If a book wants to come back into print, it must be reissued another ISBN. Whaaaaa? Wow, I did not know that! Thanks for the information. That might explain why I was looking for an old book by ISBN and couldn't find it. Now I'll know that there might be another explanation than "I took down the number wrong"! Seriously, you've saved me a moderate amount of future grief, thanky!!!
Actually, I have a pay-what-is-advertised plan with Bell Was that a special limited time offer? All the plans I've seen on their site have Extra monthly fees System access fee - $8.95 + e9-1-1 emergency service fee - 75 :(
You get extra points (or at least you should) for the Next Gen reference. Chain of Command, wasn't it?;)
I forget the name of the episode, but that might be it. It's the one that was going to be associated with Amnesty International until Paramount nerfed it because they wanted all their shows to be palatable to the lowest common denominator.
Firefly gave us War Stories, but it's just not the same without Picard:)
Virgin Mobile's Nokie 6275i. Run Diego on it to hack the restrictions out of it, and I've got mp3, java, mp3 ringtones, everything. $10 / month, 10 cents a minute, no bs That's pretty cool, I was wondering if they had any hurdles to access the phone's capabilities... so, they do, but you had no problem getting around them?
Not available as GSM. Stupid backwards wireless phone system that we have.
Do Virgin operate over here like they do in the UK, or more like the incumbents? For instance my PAYG account with Rogers expires my credit after a month, not six months like Virgin Mobile UK does. Check out what this other reply says http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=302703&cid=20675289 I think you two need to talk : )
His is the first I've heard about the notion that money you have paid them has an expiry date, the whole concept is quite alien to me.
Last I checked Bell did as well. Check again (I'm shopping around for cell service these days, and Bell's additional service charge is well hidden, but it's there).

at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, Mr. Rove briefed the executives on the war effort, White House officials said, and discussed how Hollywood might contribute to spreading the Bush message. Officials have offered no specifics.
And that was after this horrible nightmare scenario was implemented:
