I'd bet that most Americans still haven't heard of the Ipod
Maybe not most, but all of the ones that still get birthday and christmas presents from Mom & Dad do.
Anobody who watches TV, especially MTV knows what an iPod is. Most consumers over forty probably don't have an iPod, but there is a huge probability their kids do.
Most of those crossing the border are just looking to better themselves and their families. We need a legal way to help those who want "the American Dream" and kick those listed above out.
Look at both defintions here. Neither is really that objectionable. What has everyones panties in a bunch is who pushing it. The name calling begins, the intelligent design folks are aligned with religon, therefore they are ignorant. The second definition has the word continuing. That must be stupid because we already know absolutely everything about how life and consiousness began. The comments can be mostly summarized as: Anyone who doubts anything about darwin is just ignorant. Look at 90% of the comments here, darwin has become dogma. Nobody seems to question anything anymore. I'm not saying there is an intelligent creator, maybe there is, maybe there isn't. But I really hate all the name calling, and absolute zealousness here. What if their both partially right?
No, I'm a true./'r! If you want facts and statistics , I am afraid you are in the wrong place. May I suggest you buy a Mac mini and try it out for yourself. If it's not true for you you can always sell it on ebay.
Funny, but I have both an iMac G5 and a PC. My two kids are always playing games on the PC. But when they do their homework it's on the Mac. One is in college and the other starts in the fall. I have asked both of them what computer do they want for school. They both wanted powerbooks, like mine. I talked to them about games, they said that their playstations are much better at gaming than either the Mac or the PC. So I guess a PC has alot of games, but to do real work it's best to have a Mac.
Okay, I'll keep it simple for you. Since you comment against something you proudly know nothing about, I keep it at the lowest level. Imagine a checkbook register with hastily entered dollar amounts that you couldn't read what you wrote a day after writing it. At the time you wrote those numbers they worked for you. But later when you tried to add the deposits and debits you couldn't read it correctly and so you bounced checks. That's what happens when the code ain't pretty, after awhile it becomes unmaintainable. Like the before mentioned checkb ook.

911 services are taxpayer supported, employees get paid but there isn't a profit. Same with the paramedics, they get paid from taxpayer funds. They recoup funds from a rescue but that keeps losses down, no actual profit comes from it. I was once saved by a paramedic in Spokane Wash. At that time the total charged me was about $30. To have an ambulance come from the hospital would have been closer to $150.
Freedom of speech is a right. A right can not be taken away.
Many so called rights are taken away all the time.
Ms. Schiavo supposedly had the right to life, she didn't have a living will, so others took it upon themselves to end her life. After Perl Harbor, Americans of Japanese descent were rounded up and put in internment camps. Slavery existed for about 84 years after the Bill of Rights. Gun rights will be a thing of the past if currents trends continue. As it stands right now any of our so called rights can be re-interpreted by the courts. Tomorrow, if a majority of the Supreme court justices were to rule that freedom of speech did not include political discussion, it would take a 2/3's majority in congress to amend the constitution. How's that for power? The checks and balances our constitution provided for heavily favor the courts. Federal judges have almost no accountability accept to the Supreme Court.
As a followup to my post. My friend from Chile advised me, you need a green card. His suggestion is as follows:
You can get a green card INS Form I-151/551. But you have to do it through the US embassy in your native country. An adult relative in the country can assist without it being flagged to to the Immigration Service that your here already. You do have to go back to take care of the paperwork. But if your turned down, or it looks likely to be rejected, they don't know your already here. So you have nothing lose.
Three people I know became US citizens (2 Canadians and one from Chile) and received money for college. It wasn't handed to them. They joined the coast guard. They won't be sent to Iraq and they will earn more money than most illegals could. They applied and got US citizenship while serving. They received training while in and got life insurance, health care coverage and the Montgomery G.I Bill. It is not for everyone. But it is a way to move forward. I got my C.S. degree via the Air Force and the G.I. Bill. I was able to take classes and earned most of my credits while in so it only took a couple of semesters after I got out. I wouldn't suggest regular service now unless going to Iraq is something you want to do.

How's that? Feel better now?
Gray Davis was not recalled over stem cells. The stem cell initiative passed, and Arnold, who won the election supported it.
Gray Davis was recalled because California was going Bankrupt. That is what I stated, California can't afford it!
3) Again, not relevant -- the issue is which projects the NIH should fund, not the availability of private money.
4) It is the job of scientists and administrators at NIH to make funding decisions based on scientific grounds. Since stem cell funding was restricted by the Dickey Ammendment (Republican) in 1995, Clinton had been working on NIH regulations to allow stem cell research. When the NIH was about ready to come out with the regulations, Bush decided to put in the additional restriction that there would be no funding for lines created after the announcement. Had the Clinton plan been followed through in the natural way under a Gore administration, there is no question that new lines would have been allowed. Government funds always come with restrictions, the question is which restrictions are placed on them. The restrictions Bush placed on stem cell funding are unwarranted and religiously motivated.
Again when has government money ever been free from political strings. That is the problem with government funds, they always have strings attached. Whether they are restrictions on who's state gets the funds or any other political consideration. Where the government funds, the government dictates. That's why I don't advocate Federal Spending for these types of issues. I'm not Republican, I'm Liberatarian.
The US Congress and President puts tax cuts into place that cost the US billions upon billions of dollars and it's what? Good economic policy?
You assume it's the goverments money to begin with. Reduce spending, do you have a clue how much pork is attached to any funding initiative just to get it passed? That includes the Bush Administration, don't spend what you ain't got. You have to pay sometime and that is always done with taxes sooner or later.
Private grants are few and far between. Most high end research gets done on the government's dollar. I wonder how far the Manhattan Project would have gone on private grants.
A search on Guidestar of Stem Cell research yield 23 organization with a total private funding of almost 1/2 a billion dollars. American citizens and corporations fund billions of dollars for medical research. Last year the Jerry Lewis Telethon netted a $60.500.000. The Manhattan project was for a weapon of Mass Destruction, I'm sure you could get Osama Bin Laden to provide funding today. That was a stupid analogy.
The Clinton administration certainly allowed and funded stem cell research. In fact here is an article from what would appear to be a rabbidly right wing site decrying that the Bush administration didn't do enough to GET RID of stem cell funding programs enacted under Clinton.
Nice propoganda, but "allowed" and actually "funded" are two different things. Clinton allocated no funds whatsoever.
What the actual effect of Bush's ban has had is to push funding for this research to the states, which is highly inefficient, because now you have professors moving to different universities in order to be eligible for state funding.
1) The purpose of the Federal government as laid out by the constitution is not for funding medical research at colleges.
2) California passed an initiative to fund Stem Cell research, something that the state cannot afford. I guess they forgot why Govenor Davis got recalled? Moneybags Bill Gates and Barbara Streisand both lobbied Hard in California for it. The amount of funding passed by the state could hhave been funded by only Bill Gates himself using his Charity Fund, the amount in that fund would have funded the research for the next fifty years.
3) Ever heard of private grants?
4) For the last time you moron, he didn't ban it! He is the only President to fund this research. When was the last time any government funds came with absolutely no controls or strings attached? You have been swallowing the Democratic Party Kool-Aid. What Bush did would have been praised by Democrats if Clinton had done it.

Statements that appeared on rueters did not coincide with the vitrol spewed forth in the local media of many of our so called allies. The crap that we blew up our own buildings or the Isreali's were tipped off started immediately and even made Canadian press. Every single day hundreds of anti-american posts are posted here on slashdot. And long before 9/11 ever happened the European press on any given day sounded more and more like Al Jazeera.
And by Pakistan, I mean a nuclear armed country which has demonstrated its willingness to proliferate WMD technology, whose intelligence services and military are thoroughly penetrated by Islamic radicals, whose President's life is under constant threat, and whose feigned ignorance of anti-India terror cells is tantamount to tacit support.
India is also a nuclear power, the population far surpasses that of Pakistan. Are you saying you want the US to provide India with security? It seems to me that if Pakistan is such a threat to India, it's in India's best interest to eliminate that threat. I personally would rather that my son and nephew not have to risk their lives for every territorial dispute that comes along. I supported the war in Iraq, we left Saddam in power when I was there. That was a big mistake, we paid for it for 10+ years of deployments to monitor a no fly zone that became "Where shall we drops some bombs today?", while the UN fattened there own and Saddam Husein's wallets with billions made from the oil for food scam .

I would like to see more enforcement along the borders. Both of them. But one positive benefit will be that illegal immigrants won't be taken advantage of by heartless money grubbers who could afford to pay a decent wage if they wanted too.
Most of those crossing the border are just looking to better themselves and their families. We need a legal way to help those who want "the American Dream" and kick those listed above out.
