Democrats are more likely to approve increased government spending than Republicans.
I call bullshit. Do you have anything to demonstrate this besides you're RNC spin? The answer would be that the Presidents who increased spending the most have been Repubs. Clinton was more fiscally conservative then Reagan, Bush 1 or Bush 2. While repubs like to ignore money that goes to their fave pork projects, it's still just tax and spend Republicanism (although those are actually the same thing).
Uh right dude. Which president used high way funds as a blunt object to force states to up the drinking age to 18? Which presidents created the largest deficits in U.S. history? Let me give you a hint, it wasn't Democrats. Welcome to the new century. You're living the 60's and 70's all over again.
Just get stoned and drunk and it'll be fine. I can't imagine seeing this stinker any other way myself.

Murran is a publicity genius. But the Bell Curve is full of shit. The National Longitudinal Study of Youth was used for the most of the regression analysis in the Bell Curve. The youth in the study did indeed take the Armed Forces Qualifying Test. Where you are wrong is that the AFQT scores vary widely over education levels. Herrnstein and Murray LIED about the relationship between education and scores on the test. Anyway for a thorough debunking of the bogus Bell Curve science read this

A plausible reason is also that many Black Americans don't have better opportunities than being sports stars, while white Americans have a host of options open to them. Therefore they work a hell of a lot harder to get there. As the poor victimized righties like to say, I know that's not right-wint P.C. but I don't care.
Because the messenger is fundamentally flawed, produces shoddy "scientific" works. If the author has an agenda, it should be explored. Charles Murray obviously has an agenda. As the W.H. Brady Scholar in Culture and Freedom at the American Enterprise Institute, author of Losing Ground, The Bell Curve and The Underclass Revisited he has staked his place in the cultural landscape. You may like him, or not. I don't. And I don't trust anything he says. He changes statistics and assumptions to suit his hypotheses. But, that being said, the messenger is important. Attack him at will.
Nice opinion. If anything (using the reviews comments on Murrays work) since Europe produced the large majority of scientific and cultural advancement and European countries are largely welfware states, welfare states produce more useful scientific and cultural stuff. Therefore we should all be welfare states!
In Marx's communism, you don't make shit equal. It happens. It is a natural by-product of the years of oppression by the ruling class. At some point the working class decides enough is enough, comes to a realization that we are all in some way equal and that the system as it exists is just a load. Then they overthrow the existing system and the world comes in to stasis. The point where it comes in to stasis is communism. There is no work required by anyone to get there. That is the point. Communism is the end of history. There is nothing after that. Just a limitless span of human contentment. We're all happy after that. And we're all equal. Don't worry about it, if it happens, you'll be the first to know (your back will be up against the wall). gid-goo
Well, you kind of hit it in your last bit but I'll just reiterate; having or not having money does absolutely nothing to prevent having children. In fact, people who don't have money appear to have MORE children than those with money. It means, having kids and more kids then anyone else. Poor people are incredibly successful at that. Rich people are not very successful at having lots of kids. There is not better or worse, clean or less clean, happy or unhappy, rich or poor as far as evolutionary traits are concerned. Fit means that you survive and have kids. Nothing else.
No, you don't know, you think you know. But you don't. Communism isn't a form of government a country decides to form. Marx never advocated that countries form a Communist society. He stated that the people of the world would naturally and automatically end up in that state. Most of it is just the reasons why we'll end up in that state. But as far as Communism vs. Capitalism. No need to argue, just wait! gid-goo
If you go to the store and buy you can choose what you get. At emusic it's a crap shoot whether albums you actually want are there. The fun of emusic is being able to download any random ass album for whatever reason and check it out. I've discovered some great bands that way (Dan Sartain). And I've listened to some terrible crap. But with only 40 downloads I can't play as much. At the end of the day I can go buy 4 cds of material for around $20 that I know is good at an excellent used record store in Portland. It probably doesn't really matter in the long run but I'm cancelling my emusic subscription.
I had to hire a biochemist and an applicant told me he is 100% certain there is no such thing as evolution because it contradicts the bible, i would not hire him (as a biochemist), because this severely limits his ability to understand the field. If he applied as a software developer, I would have no problem with this belief as it is irrelevant to the field.
I wouldn't hire him as a coder because in all likely hood he'd be an irritating twit who would give the retarded "it's just a theory" speech like a fucking talking doll.
I agree Steam for Natural Selection is pretty kick ass. It's nice not to use All Seeing Eye. The only problem is that HL seems to crash a lot with Steam as opposed to Won. But everything looks kick ass with Steam.
Not entirely true. Steam will allow you to play without a network connection. The caveat is that if you ever play online apparently from there on in you need to have a network connection to play. I'm not sure whether that will affect single player from there on in, my understanding is that it does.
Anybody who's writing a server based multiplayer game and trusts the clients is either an idiot or some kind of freaked out genius. Nobody trusts the clients. In a P2P game (like most PS2 network games) you have no choice.
Hey, give me 2 of whatever you're having! You've been working shit jobs for 2 fucking years and you're still gung-ho Bush. You're a die hard Republican my man. We're hemorrhaging 400k jobs a month, consumer confidence is going down, we're spending more on social services in Iraq then in the U.S., top administration officials are leaking the names of covert CIA agents, we have a humongous deficit and an administration that doesn't give a rats ass. Next November you're going to be enjoying a democratic president back in the white house. I know, the freepers and little green footballers and NRO and all you guys will attempt to smear the shit out of anyone who shows up but I don't think it will matter. Kiss president fucktard good bye.
Half of something like 290 million people in the US have cell phones? Let's see something to back that up. I want decents numbers from a verifiable source. Same with Einar or what his names is. Let's see those studies.
Not to mention that it's too expensive and full of Californians. Why the hell would anyone want to move there. When a shitty house costs $300k but the wages don't match the increased cost of living it just doesn't make sense. I worked for a company in Milpitas (but I got to live in Oregon). The programmers I interacted with were the biggest bunch of no-nothing losers I've ever met. It seemed like CA companies would hire any retard off the street to punch keys and ask stupid questions.
