Anyone who has been following this issue for the past six weeks knows good and well that the audacity of the elected officials to ignore, debase, and belittle their constituents created the massive ground swell of dissenting voters. To claim that the Nation ID idea caused the defeat of this bill is ludicrous. But if the blurb had commented on talk radio and conservatives, this wouldn't be Slashdot, now would it?

After reading through approximately 60 posts out of 150 posted, it is obvious that since the program being criticized was of the conservative view, Spork/Sprock/Whatever was justified in his presentations to Visa and other sponsors. If someone wants to complaint to a corporation about the content of a show that company sponsors, more power to them. I will be hard-pressed to contain my humor, however, when some conservative goes to a company for advertising on a show like "Will and Grace", for example, and Slashdot readers will be sure to criticize that corporation for withdrawing ad dollars.
Content is content. Some people will like it; some will be upset by it. However, one must be consistent in their stance on this issue. Is it acceptable for a corporation to withdraw advertising revenue after political heat is applied, or is it not?
As for the commentators, anonymous and otherwise, people are not sheeple. Using that word only makes you appear elitist and condescending.

C'mon - nuclear energy is past due in our country. There are two power sources on this planet not dependent upon the sun: geothermal and nuclear. America needs more nuclear plants; hell, we needed them twenty years ago. Stop throwing money into ventures that are not going to produce the dividens, and start putting money in the nuclear power plants. And please save the FUD about nuclear catastrophes/Chernobyl for someone else, or for another thread. It makes you sound like a fundamentalist*. *gasp*

What the fuck is this garbage? I've been with the same woman for nearly five years and just married her this weekend. If anything, porn/videogames has STRENGTHENED our relationship through mutual viewing.
Are they trying to say that porno searching online/gaming online is a "gateway" to become some sort of "sexual/gaming deviant"? Give me a fucking break. Just because people's conservative sexual/gaming knowledge and behavior is the prevailing behavior (and IMHO negative) it doesn't mean that "graduating" to a different behavior is heinous.

I'm sorry, but 100 people aren't going to tell the tale of ALL those that enjoy porn/gaming either in solitary viewing or in group situations.

An older couple began to notice that they were forgetting things, so they decided to take a memory course together. They took the course and were simply thrilled with the results. One day while shopping in a local store, they met a friend. "Bill, you just have to take this memory course. It's fantastic ! It's changed our lives," the husband said.
"Wow, that's great ! What's the name of the course?"
The husband turned to his wife and asked, "Honey, what's the name of that flower with the long stem and thorns?"
"You mean a rose?" she replied.
"Yes, that's right." (PAUSE) "Rose, what's the name of that memory course we took?"
