No. The purpose of your government is NOT to do what you want. It's to do what the Elected Officials want. See, what Americans do is elect "leaders". These people don't have to do anything right, as long as they do it in a strong manner. I admit, I used to think that we elected representatives who did what the people wanted. But that is not evidently waht the majority of Americans want. Check out Jeb Bush. The people of FLorida voted themselves a bullet train. As the Executive Branch in FLorida, he should have made sure that happened, right? WRONG! He LED a massive campaign against it. Because him and his buddies are smarter than the stupid electorate! And so it goes.

Uh-oh, you know how to use sysprep and other tools! YOu possibly have spent as much time reading Windows manuals as recompiling your kernel! You are the great Satan! You will be banned!
Yes. Yes it should be. On the other hand, when you sign up they don't promise it, so caveat emptor, read the fine print, and understand that you can really no shit be sent to die and that you may die disconnected from those you love. That's what the contract says.
Yeah, disagree with you and I'm a troll. Why do facts hate America so much? And you resort to ad hominem atttacks, because you have no facts, and you're an anonymous coward as well. Gosh I sure have been put in my place.
In my car, while I'm jogging, anyplace like that is really the only time I get a chance to listen to music at all. In those environments I cannot tell the difference between the lossy and lossless formats due to ambient sound. 99 cents for legal copies at a tolerable fidelity is fine. Then if I really got to have the fidelity and the rest of the album I buy it.
The post office really very rarely screws up. The alleged problems are mostly just lazy incompetent jerks blaming their failure to do their job on the PO - like that fake commercial (from SNL?) about the delivery company that you called just so they could claim they screwed it up not you? "When it absolutely had to be there yesterday"?
a few nutjobs paid by the oil companies is not "a lot". And exactly what good, properly conducted, peer-reviewd science that disputes global warmning do you know of? Or did you just hear this "fact" on Rush Limbaugh and repeat it because it conforms to your view?
"They're bad so we can be bad too" is a stupid, conservative argument. Plus, they haven't sone it yet, so they may not, so that's another stupid point. But as an American you beliive that it's OK to bomb the hell out of people and kill them for something they might do in the future without evidence, so just go about your day.
Synchronicity does not equal correlation or causality. A coincidentaal drop in crime rate when gun permits were issued does not necessarily mean theat the permits had anything to do with it. Or do you have a separate universe handy where you observed EVERYTHING ELSE that happened at the same time to be exactly the same, and gun permits were not issued, that being the only difference?? If you don't have this separate universe, your assumption is just an opinion. It's not a scientifically testable fact. That probably won't stop you from spreading it as fact, because like most people, you most likely just form an opinion and look for sources that back it while ignoring opposing views, unlike looking at all the facts then forming a hypothesis. (see Scientific American, "Why smart people believe stupid things")
Bolt is just a paid troll who gets his money by saying what retards want to hear. Good for him! But don't expect me to believe his blatherings - because they ain't science.
No, you're not the only one. But it's hard to get too worked up, believers don't like atheists, because as soon as you say you're an atheist, you are implying that the believer, his parents, family and everybody they go to church with, are nitwits. People don't like that. Call yourself a Buddhist or something intead, it's less stressful.
$400 for a p4 with XP Pro and 256 meg RAM expensive? Yeah I know I'm supposed to hate Microsoft but my employers don't and I don't care enough to change their mind and I actually know how to set up Windows properly, so it's no skin off my nose.
It takes a different set of skills to GET dominance than it does to keep it. Also, naturally, once you're number one, everyone is taking a shot at you, not just a few people.

Nuh-Uh! THe government is BAD! Except when it is giving me other taxpayers' money! Cuz I don't pay taxes.

Just wrong. Try getting facts from someplace other than the bible and Rush Limbaugh, then you'll be able to argue with the smart people.
No, just about 51% are ingnorant rednecks. But they are loud and they are proud of both being ignorant and being rednecks.
Ah, he disagreed with Bush, he must not have credibility. I get it now! And as a Republican he's a Liberal!
Works for Bush, why not here?
The ancients actually repositioned the stones to take care of the precession over hundreds of years. Cool, huh? Like y2k fixes :-)

As far as I can tell everybody who complains about paper MCSE's just wasn't smart enough to pass the tests.

Sometimes I want to surf while watching a DVD,sometimes I like to have a sports event on TV while I play video games at halftime, etc etc.......
This country gets stupider with every second. If only Canada wasn't so bloody cold.
You're citing Newsmax as a source? Crap, you can do better by doing numerology on the bible.
Why can't North Korea?
