    dipshit. "strongest" isn't meant literally. Do you think he meant the Microsoft corporation can benchpress more than sun corporation?

    Undoubtedly. Nothing else could handle the complexity without becoming unstable.

    But who voted for them?
    They may be stealing it, but it is the older generation (more prone to voting) who are getting rich, and the upcoming generation has to pay for it. Sad but true.

    This is an example of democracy as the worst form of government (except, of course, for all the others)

    I don't know about elsewhere, but in Canada, the baby boomers got $1 in services for every 70 cents in tax, whereas people now get about 70 cents in services for every dollar in tax (approximate #'s, can't remember exactly).

    So in some cases, it actually is our money.

  7. Re:The US is not ahead in technology on Europe Net Users Now Outnumber US/Canada · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure about this, but I suspect Australia probably does have greater population density than the US, if you consider land area that actually has a signifigant amount of people on it. As far as the economics of cell phone coverage goes, you can't really include the middle and probably many other parts of Australia as there are next to no people living there. Or am i wrong?

    "I haven't heard of anything linking WTC specifically to the Iraqi's."

    No, but the expulsion of the arms inspectors from Iraq is justification enough to do something. Otherwise, why does the UN even make such deals if Iraq doesn't have to adhere to them? Be honest here, do you not think there should have been an "or else" clause to the arms inspection agreement, or should Iraq be able to do as it pleases after its hostile invasion of Kuwait?

    "don't like the idea of killing the rainforest for paper"
    Paper isn't what's "killing the rainforest". Besides, forest is a renewable resource. Never mind trees, do you know how many acres of corn are cut down every year? Look it up and you won't be able to sleep at night any more.

    I'm sorry, but I just don't buy these numbers. If they are indeed true, then there's one hell of a conspiracy theory going on here.

    Are you sure these numbers haven't been adjusted to include the cost of environmental factors?? This is usually the case when pro-wind power advocates are quoting cost.

    Perhaps, but this doesn't erase the fact that they are the most direct cause of the problems.
