succeed in stemming the damage from ACLU. I'm willing to give up some of my freedoms and rights for a while. I have no problem with it. Also the none of my civil rights have been broken. I don't know why everyone feels the government will be listening to EVERY phone call that gets made anywhere in America. Its just not possible to monitor them all. They monitor incoming international calls from certain people and outgoing international calls to certain people. They aren't listening to you talking to your grandma and could care less about that.
Its all find and dandy that the ACLU is trying to protect my civil liberties but when they are pushing to have a cross on the side of a road where someone has died be removed or pushing to have a stone ten commandments be removed, how are these civil liberties away from anyone? Also the ACLU standing up and demanding that all prisoners of war, regardless of what they did be released if the evidence against them is not made public.
Search for year 2000 election and the state of florida. Seems people can't punch holes either.. Maybe a machine that has a sharper cutting surface and not some piece of plastic poking the holes would be better. One can only hope
Very true.. We can split an atom, send remote controlled robots to Mars but can't make s simple voting poll system.. I guess this means all the Slashdot polls are flawed as well. Oh well..
Whats so hard about making a touch screen system thats not connected to any other computers or network. You vote and the machine then spits out a card that IT punched holes in. You can then look it over and hand that card in. Easy touch screen and has the paper trail and can't be hacked into from the outside.
Every time there is a vote in my state that passes and the liberals don't like it.. they just take it to court and get what the people voted for thrown out. So why bother even voting anymore.. What the majority of people choose no longer counts.
Who's going to help the ISP's pay for whats needed to do this? I know some ISP's *cough* like the large cable providers and Ameritec who is now know as SBC who is now known as AT&T are swimming in money... but there are many others out there that can't pay for the drive space to store this crap on.
BTW didn't I just see some article all about how the computer tech people need to educate the older mainly government people about computers and how the internet works?
I don't care what anyone says.. There is always a way around it. First thing that popped in to my head was stolen credit cards. Secondly.. I can decrypt the file and re-encode it to some other format on the fly then hand out the new file.
Doesn't matter what people do to try to stop this, there will be others to break around it.
Republicans want to censor whats against them.. Democrats want to censor whats against them..
It goes both ways.. Anyone that says other words is full of crap.
Both political parties are full of crap up to their eyeballs and only care about throwing their own feces at the other party rather then doing anything worthwhile to HELP this country.
I'm an independante conservative... I think for myself and don't let a party tell me whats good for me and whats bad.
But the oil companies want the SUV's and Hummers on the roads.. I have a feeling the oil companies will back the auto makers on this one. If this happens then the state will lose.

I really wonder why charging of ALL sorts of gadgets which run on one lithium-ion cell isn't automatically done when you anyway connect that thing to the PC to transfer data?
The iPod does this already over USB or firewire. At least from the iPod photo on. My 3G won't but Video does.
the Firefox plug-in "NoScript" works wonders for your average site. I recommend it for all Firefox users. It disables all javascript on every site unless you allow it. Check it out.
Porn should be banned in public place where underage children have access to a computer... Yes this means schools and libraries. Our evil friends over at the ACLU won't allow this though because they support the feeding of such content to children. If Ben Bistline wasn't doing polygamy in the name of a religion then the ACLU would be defending him saying its his right to marry as many women as he wants and to arrange weddings for underage children, but because he's doing it in the name of a religion the ACLU won't touch it.. seeing they are working on shoving anything and everything that has to do with a religion into the dark shadows.
And no I don't support polygamy and the guy needs to rot in jail.
You mean you shopped there before this? wow.. seems that place was always dead when I went there years ago.. I haven't shopped at a Radio Shaft in so long..
Do you see Israel holding these gatherings after prayer and shouting "death to all muslims" and "destroy all muslim countries"? No you don't. There are at least 5-6 muslim countries around israel that wish to destroy it (and have tried in the past). What do you expect israel to do? Make rubber bullets to shoot back? Or is that to much.. maybe just pick up a few rocks and throw them.
Umm.. did you ever think that COULD be done but countries like Iran won't follow this? How are you going to enforce that no one can have nukes? You would be right back in the same boat as we are right now, only YOU wouldn't have nukes to fire back when Iran sends their nukes to a town near you.
Chemical weapons were banned but Sadam used them in the 1980's against the people in his own country.
Read up on the Korean War and you will see that in fact it never really "ended". If the US wanted to invade there then it would have but it doesn't. If these countries would just say "ok we don't want nukes or nuclear power and wish to just do business like peaceful countries" then everyone else including the US would back down and leave them alone.

the ACLU needs to be investigated in my opinion.

I just encrypt my entire /home partition. Its another way to help.

I've been doing this for a good 3-4 years now. does this mean i have to pay you for your stupid copyright?
What!? No European Civil Liberties Union (ECLU)??

Enjoy!

So you're saying if the US was to send all its nukes into space never to be seen again there would be world peace?
Back that conspiracy up for each country you listed there with some facts and I might believe you.
He is praising the destruction of groups of people that are killing others over their religious beliefs, not countries.
Listen to what he says not what the media translates his speeches into.
