Are you insane??? We didn't even get to elect the fucking president. Why should they listen? We have, and never will have any say in what they do. Ever. They flash that truth in your faces and still you don't see it. Idiots.
Hmm...
I know Frank Miller wrote a few movie scripts, Robocop 2 and 3, also he is scripting Batman: Year One, due out in 2002. (love that internet movie database). Neil Gaiman did Princess Mononokeand an episode of Babylon 5. The internet movie database also has a listing for Good Omens and Neverwhere. Good Omens directed by TERRY GILLIAM! That sounds wicked cool.
Alan Moore's "From Hell" has been made into a film.
Still, I think all of them are still writing comics except Gaiman...
If he were and adult, no police would be involved, and there would be no issue here. If an adult were to say these types of things about a co-worker and his bosses, he would probably just get fired. But since it's a kid, and we're supposed to be afraid of kids and how violent they have supposedly become recently (especially pink-haired kids), the police have to get involved and the kid has to go to jail. I don't think the issue is so much that the kid used the internet to voice this stuff. I think the real issue is that it was a KID who voiced this stuff. If the kid wrote this stuff down and xeroxed it at kinkos and stapled it to every telephone pole in town, he would be just as in jail as he is now.
Let's face it, the kid is lucky he's not from a middle eastern country, or they would be saying he's a terrorist.
That's correct. In a society that values property more than people, stuff like this will happen. Look at how long Kevin Mitnick was in jail without even a trial. Did he rape or kill anyone? We have murderers being paroled in 18 months here in Pennsylvania. I wish some of these politicians would take a walk around MY neighborhood. Then perhaps they would see how backwards this criminal justice system is.
Doesn't matter. If IDG Books can take legal action against anyone who uses the words "for dummies" even if it's clearly not trying to pass itself off as a "for dummies" product, then what is to stop this company from taking legal action against anyone who "uses" the smell of fresh cut grass.
(Apologies to slashdot for using the words "for dummies" on your site. You can forward any legal threats you receive as a result of my post to my email.)
Part of working to change laws is convincing others that the laws are wrong.
Also, if the internet is public, are the phone lines public? If you rent a house, does the landlord have the right to look through your shopping bags before you enter the house?
When I was in Fukuoka, (on Kyushu, Japan's southern island)the taxi cab we took from the airport had a tv and dvd in it that the driver was watching. It was terrifying. There were no traffic lights, just mirrors at each intersection, and the driver was driving very fast and WATCHING TV!!! One of the other things you forgot is bathroom technology. Japan is decades ahead of us in bathroom technology. The toilet seats were HEATED. The mirrors were fog proof, there was a television in the huge bath tub! With a remote control! (Waterproof of course.) Not to mention the many different alternatives to bathroom tissue. You can BLOW DRY YOUR ASS WHILE YOU ARE STILL ON THE TOILET!!! I wanted to stay in the bathroom the whole trip. I wanted to cry when I had to come home to my cold toilet seat and tiny tub with no tv.
Surely the program staff meetings, where every minute is an eternity, and I am begging for the caress of sweet death to end this bleak, agonizing hell, ought to count for more than the "actual" time that has passed? Please?

I doubt Bush is doing much of anything besides keeping his own ass safe...
And trying to figure out a way to blame Clinton for this.

Yes, this is all well and good, and I used to think as you, but innocent people are dying here.

This is getting a little silly.

There are courses based on Star Trek, also. I found a url for one here: http://www.grinnell.edu/individuals/gibsonj/tutor
There is also a course taught by Richard Hanley, I believe. He's the philosophy professor who wrote "The Metaphysics of Star Trek".
I am also going to be teaching two courses based on TV shows. One is based on Underdog, and the other is based on Oprah.
I hope to see you all at my lectures.
Madness is irrelevant.
Resistance is futile.
You will be assimilated.
