Yhe US Constitution is very strong as well, it's just that people are braindead sheep and won't stand up to defend it, instead, it's all about feeling good about yourself. If the people don't pay attention, no Constitution is worth the paper it's printed on.
The solution is obvious. The good people of the country of South Africa must have the right to bear arms!
Actually, that isn't a bad idea. The people haven't had that right since DeClerk and Apartaid were disposed of by the current bunch of commies. Guess what? Crime has skyrocketed, go figure. When guns are outlawed, only the outlaws will have guns, duh!
Nobody is saying the SA government can't control the.za ccTLD. They are saying that if the government wants it, they have to go through ICANN and follow the rules, just like anyone else.
Canada recently adopted new rules as to how the.ca domain can be used
My guess is Canada already set up their committee within the guidlines of ICANN.
that we are at war in Afghanistan for oil reasons (gee, you don't think September 11 could have had something to do with it, do you?
No, the idiot probably thinks W piloted those planes himself, just like certain Senators have been implieing "What did he know, and when did he know it?"
The Parche was replaced by the Richard B. Russell (Senator who got the Navy a lot of money). Then the Carter sub, if I'm not mistaken.
You are mistaken, The Parche is still in use (she's the last 637 class boat still in service). She will be replaced by the Seawolf class Carter following her commisioning. I don't know the dispostion of the Russell, but I believe she has been decommed.
"And you'll never know how comforting it is to know that 'There's far more oil in the USA then in all of the middle east,"
While I can't readily locate the stats, there are massive amounts of oil off the coast of CA and in the Gulf Of Mexico. Let's also not forget Teapot Dome and Alaska's North shore, and I seem to recall a recent discovery in the Rockies. As an aside, all of the Earth's oceans have oil and gas fields, most of which have not yet been explioted.
"if I ever find one of those luddites you're talking about"
You can start with Greeanpeace, Sierra Club, and Earth Liberation Front.
Never mind that the Times is run by the Unification Church and is a mouthpiece for the right.
Never mind that ABC, CBS, NBC, LA Times, NY Times, Washington Post, Time, and Newsweek are all run by socialist commies and are mouthpieces for the left.
Why is it Greenpeace doesn't actively protest oil drilling in the Persian Gulf? Why doesn't Sierra Club lobby and protest these countries?
Oil production overseas is not nearly as clean as it is in the USA. Why don't these "environmentalists" make a big deal out of this? It's enough to make me wonder if certain oil producing countries are bankrolling these organizations.
Obi-wan: "When I first knew him, your father was already a great pilot, but I was amazed how strongly the Force was with him. I took it upon myself to train him as a Jedi. I thought I could that I could instruct him just as well as Yoda. I was wrong."
I am assuming you read some of the stuff above in the books. Which books have the Skywalker children?
Uh, Almost all of them have Han and Leia's kids in them. In fact, most of the books deal with people trying to kidnap the kids and train them as dark Jedi.
I have a sneaking suspicion that it's a "jews eat muslim babies, and the US bankrolls the dinner utensils" story.
And you would be correct, it's the website of a group called "The National Alliance." Basically it's Aryan Nation bullshit. The main page includes a link to every Nazi's wet dream: "Ethnic Cleansing: The Game." ("No, you can't shoot those pesky sub-humans in real life -- but you can in Ethnic Cleansing: The Game! Enter the virtual race war!) They also appear to try to link Commies and Jews in a conspiracy or some such bullshit. ("BOLSHEVISM FROM MOSES TO LENIN") There's a few other links to still more Nazi propaganda BS.
I can't believe some people actually still believe in this bullshit. I think this pretty much explains the firewall blocking access. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to load up Wolfenstien and blast some Nazi MFSOB's to the stone age.
Until the constituency starts holding elected officials responsable for the actions, nothing is going to change. The biggest problem is so many people are apathetic and ignorant they will vote however the Union bosses and media people tell them to.
My dad had once had a problem with someone using his SSN. The overly bloated bureaucracy at the SSA tried to give him the runaround about it, until my dad called our Congressman. Rep. Henry was able to get the SSA of their asses pretty effectively. Too bad he has since died of cancer.
Moral of the story: call your Congressman, they can often times provide a swift kick-in-the-ass to Federal agencies. Same goes for state and local levels, call your Representatives, they can help.

IANAL, but unless I'm mistaken, even if they only have a branch or office in an area, they are accountable to the local laws of that area. Which is why companies such as Kmart have to collect sales taxes in each state they do business in.
It sure did. The editors must have a short memory. As they say, the first three things to go with age (or smoking a certain plant) are memory, uh...damn! What are the other two?
It must be a real slow day for them to have to resort to recycling. And to think, some people are actually paying for the privilage of reading recycled material.

Remind anyone of a Slashdot article a few days ago? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/05/02/055021 4&mode=thread ("Turner CEO: "PVR Users Are Thieves")
I always went to sleep right as the bell rang, even though Channel One was sometimes more interesting and intelligent than my government and economics teacher. Come to think of it, I don't think ANYBODY ever really paid any attention to the TV, they all just talked for 15 minutes.
Were did you find this out? That would work great the next time I get home on leave. $12 in gas, no 20's, just 50's and higher. "I'm sorry sir, I can't accept any bill larger than a 20." YIPPEEE!

"What truth?"
Perhaps the site isn't REALLY /.'d. Maybe it's a conspiracy to bury the truth and bitch-slap anyone who tries to get it out.

You realize of course you may have just given some jackass an idea. Sysadmin's everywhere will curse your name and spit upon your grave....
