Several years ago, I was splashed with gasoline and set on fire while wearing a polyester Hawaiian shirt. No damage was done to me or the shirt. I slapped it out. It happened twice because the girl I was with thought it was funny so she did it again. It was funny. I'm sorry about what happened to you, that looks like a lot of damage, but fire does strange things.
What makes you think that their level of poverty is any worse than the level of poverty in the ghettos of America or the UK?
How often have you been in shitholes over here? Probably never because they're not so tourist friendly and if you're white, there's probably going to be a problem. How do you think "garbage picking beggars" is any worse than having to sell crack where you have to worry about being shot or thrown in jail? Is it because American have television sets?
How do you define your poverty and oppression in VietNam, Laos, or Calcutta? How is that different from the class and race problems here?
Next time you're over there, spend time with the people that you make such judgments on. Not just walking through their streets buying tourist goods, and then back to your hotel.
Selective reading, Doc. I said that if all the weapons were available for anyone who could afford them, then weapons like nukes wouldn't have been made.
My belief on the 2nd Amendment is that it's there to keep the gub'mint in place. That obviously didn't work so no use crying over spilt milk. It's supposed to be a deterrent to the government going crazy, not an excuse. It'd be a much better world without weapons.
In my dream world we all get along. My fetish isn't guns, it's Terri Garr in latex. Thanks for asking.
People should have any weapon they can afford. The weapons aren't there to keep Joe Criminal out of my house, they're there to keep The Man out of my house.
People should be allowed to buy nukes. If the law was open like that, I don't think there'd be nukes. What's the point of inventing something like that if I could win the Lotto and drunkenly nuke Texas? The Germans were developing nukes but the US would've been forced to step in and STOP the development, not encourage it.
If American people had heavy arms, the government would be forced to be a bit nicer. No point in the ATF firebombing the Branch Davidians, if those kooks could've responded with heavy weaponry.
At this point though, it's too late. Soylent green is people.
Give the internet a chance? Not worded how I wanted to, but got bugged at work where I browse slashdot the most. Give the internet ads a chance, I meant.
I used to use adblock and would block most of the cookies I'd get. Then I figured that if they're looking through my cookies to show relevant ads, then I should unblock it all. So I did.
If someone is going to show me ads based on my browsing history, that's fine. It's like picking up a motorcycle magazine, and the ads are motorcycle based. I like that. So why not give the internet a chance?
I was in Sacramento looking for a specific hotel. I went to 2 other hotels (that shared the same parking lot), and asked if I could look at their yellow pages for the number. Neither of the hotels had yellow pages. One 20-year-old didn't even know what yellow pages where.
How can you work a front desk at a hotel without knowing what yellow pages are? That right there says the end is in sight for the yellow pages.
eBay has been getting worse. It drives me up a wall that they don't list bidders identities. Bidder 1, Bidder 2. Screw that. I'm looking at old motorcycles and cars, and I know people shill. Why the hell did eBay make it easier?
Before they did that, you could spot the shillers.
Honey, do you remember how I spent $800 to remove used tampons from the dog's insides? Just think about that when I'm playing Robotron on our new MAME.
A rat is an animal with a fairly limited number of interests, say: survive (eat/drink/not get killed) and reproduce.
That's not true at all. You are assuming rats only live to survive and reproduce in a way that's different from people. People use architecture and books as a way to survive and reproduce. Architecture can be looked at the same way as peacock feathers -- chicks put out to people who build (or live) neat buildings. By Whatshername the author of Harry Potter, by writing books, she's increased her chance of finding a good mate.
People are animals and our interests interest us more than rat interest. I'm sure rats have tastes that increase their ability to mate, the same way people do. Rats push bars for food to increase their reproductive ability. People push bars for money for the same -- to get laid.

You're getting a physics minor and you don't know the difference between "theory" and "hypothesis"?
Are you graduating from Pat Robertson's Regent University School of Law? It puts more lawyers into the Bush administration than Yale and Harvard (and probably those two combined).
The huge amount of difference between "theory" and "hypothesis" that Americans don't seem able to understand amazes me. No wonder that people such as yourself, who post to/. so I'd think would be reasonably intelligent, are part of the reason why they US is a laughingstock around the world for the huge percentage of people who don't believe in evolution. (one helluva a run on sentence but I hope you get the point).
F1 is for car factories, not for drivers. Such a huge disappointment when I watched Fiat's highest paid employee, Michael Schumacher, win a race when his teammate hit the brakes.
Slashdot Mirror
I was just kidding. I work in a movie theatre. I'll give anyone who says "slashdot" free popcorn!
I work for TSA. You're not what we're looking for. And being "polite" isn't what's going to get me/us to stop you for a second screening.
I wore a lot of sarcastic Hawaiian shirts for a while. Retaliation for a good zinger that I can't remember since the fire was even funnier.

Aussies and the kiwis use stone as well.
I thought it was 15 Australian books and I couldn't figure out that the Aussies wrote 12 more after "The Road Warrior" trilogy.
Sorry, Ozzies, but I kid, I kid. If only we could get Little Creatures Pale Ale in the US.

They only show the times Bad Shit happened to McClain. Why am I going to pay $10 for a ticket to see McClain pick up his kids from school?
Sure, we all know McClain is constantly filmed for his documentary (like a modern "Seven Up!"), but thank god, they only show the good stuff.

What's the point of using 2 ways of finding something when you can just use google?
And having the education to know when your monkey is feeding you bananas.

It looks fine on my lynx.
Frankie say: Relax.
Screw encryption. I just back-up everything on cassette tapes. Just the way my TRS-80 like it! Go Tandy!
My only encryption is labeling the tapes Wham! and Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

But the overwhelming majority of 9/11 hijackers were Saudi Arabians.
