I'm curious how the "pooled car" thing works. Because, you know, there will always be someone out there who spills a Big Gulp onto the seat and doesn't clean it up, or leaves baby puke all over the floorboards, or who is just one of those freaks who enjoys leaving his own feces for others to discover. What then?
Ah, yeah, go ahead and move to California. You'll be among kindred spirits there. You can enjoy paying their taxes, too, like a good little drone.
It was not anger that resulted in the ambassador's murder in Libya. It was an organized terrorist attack, timed to occur on 9/11. Where are you getting your news from, Mr. Well-Informed?
You probably aren't going to enjoy reading this, but the things that labor unions fought for have been enshrined in federal law. Decades ago. Go look sometime how many union bosses are in prison, or how unions are used to fund one-sided political campaigns that give no chance to opposing voices.
LOL. You sound like someone who's never come in contact with a real open source project before. Let me fix this for you: "Volunteers of a single open source project are beholden to the goals of the open source community, goals which are highly likely to differ from your needs as a user." That's far more realistic. Throw in some rudeness and you've got it. At least with the business you can complain to someone.
You know, that has a lot more to do with you and your fucked-up worldview than it does America. It's like one of those inkblots you look at...some people see flowers, some people see blood. It's called "projection".
Common ignorance. Texas is not a "desert" with tumbleweeds blowing about. West Texas, maybe, but Texas is a pretty big place. Bigger than France. Texas has all of the major terrain types except rain forest and tundra. On the Gulf Coast near Houston, it is watery and swampy. Floods are a common hazard. THAT'S where the rice is grown, asshole. Desert, bullshit.
The newspaper has inadvertently rediscovered Chairman Mao's wisdom: "All political power grows out of the barrel of a gun". One must wonder about where they were educated if they didn't learn this plain fact of life.
So, we were talking about HP and suddenly we get an Aesop about how California is morally superior to Texas? Conclusion: unions are great. Is this performance art or paid shilling?
Strange how business school graduates exhibit this activity, while others unexposed to this culture still cling to ancient habits like "keeping one's word".
Nah, it's not about loyalty. HP saw that workers ended up with a positive outcome, and reflexively concluded that it must have been illegal. Refer to legal department, sue. Workers are never allowed a positive outcome, this is how you know you're doing business correctly. Business as taught in school, of course.
The e-waste thing isn't "other-ization" (whatever the F that is) but rather shaming of Westerners for dumping their garbage on Africa. Can we not disturb the narrative? It's useful.
The United States government gets plenty of taxes already, thanks. What's the figure, something like one-third to one-half of all wealth created in the nation goes to the government? New taxes are not the solution. They aren't even the precipitate. Give them more money, and they will just waste it. Guaranteed.
Nah. This is backwards. You know, the FBI is protecting us (the real people) from OWS (weird nutbags). I would expect them to perform such investigations. If they didn't, then people should be fired for incompetence. After all, OWS did advocate revolution, presumably including the overthrow of the U.S. government. Seeing as OWS couldn't even create a functioning toilet system in their camps, I'm not really sure they were ready to seize control of a nation of 300 million people. I mean, sewage is a solved problem from 100 years ago.
I appreciate the FBI looking out for us. By "us" I mean everyone who didn't attend an OWS camp or sympathize with their goal of revolution. If you did, then I would really suggest getting a wider social circle including people who disagree with your political opinions. Too much agreement results in a narrow, parochial worldview where you can't understand why anyone would ever think differently.
So, "those people" cannot be expected to make decisions like us, and therefore it's racist. Isn't attributing characteristics to people based on race...racist? Hmmm....better not think that direction, there are some inconvenient truths that way.. Better to obey authority and not question our assumptions.
Five root comments so far, and not one of them has anything to do with the topic at hand - mostly they talk about "we are the same if not worse". Off-topicism is really a drag, who wants to go over this exact same territory AGAIN
Putting the "right" in jail just because they have right-wing opinions is freaking scary. The people in prison today committed crimes that put them there, there was no round-up based on race.
Because overqualified people quit out of frustration after you invest in getting them trained just right. Either that, or they try to boss everyone around.

*watch fewer*, Mr. Pedant. If you're going to correct others, at least do it correctly.

I always wondered whatever became of the low budget Filipina horror movie in DC.

There have been no threats. Where is this idea coming from? Can someone post a source?

Agree. People shouldn't be able to choose. It affects union power too much.

Even if it's not true, it's still a useful myth to shame Westerners into doing the right thing instead of dumping their problems on people of color.

So, I'm not getting it. Funneling even more money into the government, where it has been proven to be wasted, is somehow better?

Then it will be 8-10 years to complete a bachelor's. Full-time students are full-time for a reason.

Don't sell drugs, don't go to prison...or am I missing something somewhere? The CIA is forcing them, right?
