The guy, Jeremy Glick, you brought up tried to claim, like most of you kooks in the far left, that the President was directly responsible for 9/11. I take it you believe this as well. Well I have a bit of advice for you. Keep espousing this. Shout it to the world for all to hear. Raise the roof. I support you 100% in your effort to bring this idea to the attention of the populace. You know why? Because you are a KOOK! I want EVERYONE to know how you guys think. It only makes it easier to beat you.
I dont know whats so "magician" about getting me to talk about O'Reilly. And yes, he is one source of my news and information, but certainly not the only one. The guy is unpopular among you libs because he, unlike you, thinkgs people are directly responsible for their own behavior. A father murders his little baby, you want to offer him therapy and treatment. O'Reilly and others like myself would do the proper thing and drop the guy in a hole and pave over it. Same thing for the Terrorists.
Keep it up. Keep espousing hatred, loathing, and contempt for your own country. Keep siding with the terrorists sub-humans (I assume you are American) I implore you. It only serves to show others your wackiness.
'Ever heard the phrase "those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it?"'
Which is exactly why we have stopped ignoring terrorism and have decided to go after it full steam. The modern era is full of atrocities that were at least attempted to stop. Mogadishu, the Balkans, etc...I believe we have learned from the past, though the lesson is slow.
...and I couldnt care less about what people like you think. ( I am reasonably sure you feel the same about me ) I am a big fan of O'Reilly, not ashamed of it whatsoever, though i did miss the interview you are talking about.
But for the sake of the discussion, lets break down what the Islamo-terrorist is committing savage murder for:
1> to get the "great Satan" out of his homeland. - The fact is, we are in Saudio Arabia at the behest of the Saudi rulers. We are there for economic reasons that, no matter what the average arab says, benefit both parties. If it wasnt for US and Western money, the whole of that country would be in the stone age, not just the lower class.
2> to martyr themselves to get into a heaven they believe will provide them each with 75 virgins to pleasure them on a bed of diamonds - This points to a distinct issue the average Islamo-terrorist has with the womanhood. I would gladly send them on to the afterlife to see if its true or not, but only if they die alone.
3> to unite all of Islam into a holy war against us - Well, so far, real Islam believers arent being quick to follow along. And I believe its because the average Muslim doesnt believe in their 'spread the faith by the sword' rantings, nor do they believe we are the 'great Satan'
Its prety cut and dried. Terrorists are scum. They are less than human and they deserve nothing less than death.
I defend the right of freedom of speach, but demand action against those that seek to destroy our civilization. Occupationalist regime? We are bringing back human rights to a country that has had a serious lack of them. Democracy is what will end the oppression that breeds the kind of resentment and hatred that breeds these lowlife scum. Murderous elite? In compared to what? The terrorists themselves? If we were a murderous, war mongering society we would have rolled over 3/4 of the world right now and none could stop us. But that isnt what this society wants. It wants peace, and not just here at home. I am sickened by what I see occuring all over the world and in every case its happening in or because of suppression of basic human rights, or hatred of another religion, or ethnic background.
I work with African Americans every day. We discuss the past and the future and I will tell you this. I feel outraged about the evils of the past. And this idea of Canada being the only country on Earth not having gotten their hands dirty is ludicrous.
I live in the -now-...and right now terrorists are causing needless deaths over religious and economic issues that are should not be laid at our feet. Their society is the culprit here. Its simple. They have no free market. The richest 1 percent keep getting richer, the other 99% live in poverty the likes of which is unseen in most other countries. The poorest person in America still most likely has access to electricity, clean water, etc. Not there. If democracy were to really take root their you would see a drastic change. If not, we are in store for more lunacy like we have been seeing.
And by the way, 50 to 100 years ago I was not here. Those that lynched and comitted other atrocity WERE animals. Had I been there I would have said the same things I am saying now.
I condemn ANY and ALL murder, rape, torture, etc...I fail to see how you came to a conclusion about what i think of people dying in Chechnya, Rawanda, etc. I believe murder is evil. Fighting a war, on the other hand, is a neccesary evil.
And I never said that what we did with the Afgan guerillas was a good thing. If anything we should have done MORE for them, and not abandoned then after the Russian pullout.
I am so sick of people equating any government action agains TERRORISTS as silencing free speech. These animals murder innocents in the name of their god. Whatever the governments of this world do in order to stop them is A-OK with me. If the websites they are talking about are associated with Al-Qaeda, shut their asses down. No question. But I challenge all of you who throw your hands in the air and whail about free speech every time the government cracks down on them to show how YOUR speech is being hampered. They are criminals, operating a murderous enterprise. They dont have rights to freedoms at that point.
I honestly doubt you would be so quick to condemn the actions taken if your loved ones were butchered by these monsters.
What is so bad about someone getting a job based on their skills and talent? The fact is, a hightly skilled field like IT needs to stay union free, because of the nature of the work.
Consider...a person who is not as skilled at, say, network design and implementation as another worker shouldnt get guaranteed a job just because hes in a union! It should be the best person for the job that gets hired. I have come a long way in my career in networking because of my skills...not because of some group affiliation that only considers seniority over talent!
Also, unions claim to be about quality of work, guaranteeing that the work was up to par. Well, the very practice of guaranteeing somone a job simply by seniority flies in the face of that notion...
Tim
Yes exactly...completely outlived their usefulness! The unions today do nothing but drive prices up, and force companies to employ AND PROMOTE individuals that wouldnt normally be deserving of it. Its akin to the afirmative action laws. Dont give the best person the job, you have to give it to someone else for a forceable reason.
Yeah, unfortunatly I am management there too though I dont have to go anywhere, I still have "strike hours" 7am-7pm 7days a week. Ugh...
And those union people put on their website that they are "The Union for the Information Age". Puh-lease...they turn screwdrivers, pull cable, and punch down wire...and they want us to guarantee them jobs to do do VOIP and WI-FI installations...And this whole "outsourcing" thing is bunk as well...I do VOIP installations, not some guy in Pakistan!
I have personally seen applications that used so much bandwidth accessing data accross the network that a completely stable network was reduced to a non-functioning state. Case in point is one of my customers (I work for SBC Datacomm) who built the WAN/LAN they are now running on approx 3 years ago, with the knowledge that an outside software company would write a web-based application to run accross it. The app uses DB2 data from the mainframe and then uses XML to present the data and edit it by the end user. Long story short the application was WAY bloated and was found (by me when the network was reduced to jelly) to pull about 4 megabits per second when it was processing data....with something like 2000 users all accessing it at the same time you can do the math and see that is a recipe for disaster.

Look, lets say this goes through... and its correct in the assumption that AOL wants to use RH resouces to build AOLinux to replace M$ on their users PC's. If there is ANYTHING in this world that people of the technical caliber of AOL users HATE its CHANGE!! It will fail MISERABLY...then next think you know RH goes the way of Corel, with their parent company slashing the budget and closing up shop. Its happened before...it can happen to them.
Really, Linux will survive it...but RH has been an innovator in this are for a long time now and the setback will hurt our cause badly.
