Well it looks like I'm not the only one partaking in the use of illicit substances then. Clearly more people agree with me than you. Perhaps I was indeed in error when I commented that had a addiction for said substances. Anyone is can make the the comment that the shadow books where, and I quote, "where amazing books" is clearly suffering from something far beyond any delusion that can be cause by artificial means.
I would suggest that you abandon whatever you in the current process of doing and seek immediate medical attention for what ever condition you have. Alas I'm not a doctor, nor one proficient (and grammer + spelling is escaping me today) in the medical arts. I don't even play a doctor on TV. But I would suggest shock therapy. Climbing, naked, into a pool with 6 or 7 live electric eels should do the job. If not it would surly keep your mind off of your other problems.
"Amazing books.." God that was a good laugh.

I really hated Xenocide and Children of the Mind just a little less so. I like Speaker though. As for the shadow books, I sort of like the first one. I just mentally edited out the parts that made bean look like a god and ender like bumbling idiot. I made it halfway through the next shadow book, said "fuck it", and used it to even up the legs on a end table.
Ender's Game was my favorite book for a long time. The "sequel" have spoiled it to the point that I can no longer even think of reading it. Same Card has to piss on it all.

I'm sorry but you need to put down the crack pipe NOW!. It is common knowledge that Xenocide and children of the mind where the worse. Speaker for the dead was the best of the books after Enders Game and Ender's Game was the best and should have stood alone. There should only one and all that jazz.
We won't even bother with the shadow books. Books that never should have been written.
I'm not saying that the Spam-In-A-Can manned space program is finished, I'm saying that it will be suspended for about 100 years or so until the problems of over-population, oil-depletion (energy type conversion), and the aftermath of the Bretton Woods financial system collapse have been addressed.
One good world war should take care of all than then.
So am I the only one out there that hated every one of them son of a bitch's he graduated with? If mom hadn't of held a gun to my head I wouldn't even went to my graduation ceremony. I would have just picked my diploma up at the office the next day. I'm talking high school not college. Once I was out of there I really didn't care of any of them fuckers lived or died at that point.
I got a reunion notice from them a few years back. I though of wiping my ass with it and mailing it back but though that would be in bad form. I sent them notice that there would be a $50 appearance and speaking fee. Never heard anything back. Didn't get my 50 bucks so I didn't go.
It even surprises me some what how much I hated them fuckers.
I doubt he does. Of the half a dozen or so systems that I have had in the last few years all of them but one has been AMD. Every one of the AMD worked fine until I retired it, but one. I killed that one. I was flashing the bios and accidentally put my big foot on the power strip. Yeah, it was stone dead.
All the amd mb but that one still work fine. I have one I pulled out of storage after 2 years and powered it up. Its running perfectly. Hell, even the clock was still within acceptable time for being on ice for 2 years. The only intel board I had dropped dead after about a year and a half.
I think you pretty much nailed it. A few years ago I bought a amd 3000+ for 595 bucks because I wanted bleeding edge. A few days later a friend bought a amd 2800+ for 250 bucks. Less than half what I paid.
My extra almost 400 bucks got me nothing that mattered. Sure I was faster then he was but he could play all the same games I could just as well. Sure the web, read email, view porn. Just as good as I could.
The only place you could tell the difference was when encoding video or audio. I was just a few seconds faster. Well worth the 400 bucks....not.
Fuck the spam issues, even though that was a good thing taking them out. I noticed that a blurb at the bottom said they where in with other criminal activities including hosting child porn sites. I want to know why someone isn't headed off to prison if this is a US based company.
If you see a man getting beat by another man, do you just stand by and wait for the police to show-up 30 minutes later to collect the body?
Well lets not get ahead of our self here. Depends on why the other man is kicking his ass. If the one getting his ass kicked is known child molester and the one doing the ass kicking clams that he has molested his daughter, I would be more inclined to pop open a cold beer watch the show. In the case of a known spammer I might be even willing to lend a hand.
Hell, I was at a fight a few weeks ago that I paid 50 bucks to see....
First of all the moderators need to chill out. Just because you don't like what is said doesn't mean you can label it a troll. Second, there is no reason for the parent post of this one to be labeled a troll.
The parent post is right to a degree. A pharmacist has no authority to deny you a drug because of religious beliefs. There was one case a few years back where a pharmacist was refusing to prescribe contraceptives because of some bullshit religious belief. He was fired and stripped of his license.
I could. There are many ways to refer to them but I'm going to continue using the term "these people." Mainly because I see no reason to change. If that annoys you then I'm sorry. No one is forcing you to read my posts. You can just drop me in your freak file and move on.
Absolutely. Just because we can't treat the world, yet, doesn't mean we treat nobody. I heard a quote on the radio of 50,000 AIDS patients in the U.S. Don't know if that number is accurate or not. While 50K is no small number its chump change compared to 33 million in africa. I could actually see us making this available even on public funds for that many.
To bad we can come up with genetic neutral bone marrow source.
Of course the odds of HIV+ Africans finding a compatable marrow doner aren't that great
Okay, now that the africans have been brought up the question has to be ask. Who is going to pay for this? This is not a simple drug to be given, this is a full blown medical procedure that can cost several thousand dollars. A real quick google search shows there are 33 million infected with AIDS living in africa in 2007. Based on cost alone there is no way we can treat that many people. Then there is the logistics.
Then there is the moral and ethical costs to be considered. A lot of AIDS is being spread in africa because they refuse to act responsible on a individual and government level. Even though they have AIDS many people still continue to have sex with out precautions or even being on treatment. There are so many of them and given the lack of technology it's impossible to track these people.
My favorite thing to hear on Fox was a discussion going on to do with the state of the economy, and how "we are only now seeing the full effects of the Clinton presidency".
What the fuck are these people smoking? Well they don't have to be smoking anything. We just need to ignore people like that. They just don't want to admit that Bush is a failure. He'll go down as one of the most unpopular presidents in American history and they want to shift the blame on any one but their favorite monkey.
I don't think that Clinton was the best president we have had but I will admit one thing. He knew how to delegate. He also was smart enough to surround himself with people who knew what they where doing. That is what made the Clinton presidency so successful.
I didn't vote for O'bama. I voted straight independent across the board. I didn't think any of them would win but I voted for what I though was right. I was positive that O'bama had this election in the bag and the republicans can thank one man, Bush.
I'm still not sure if O'bama will make a good president. I'm still thinking he is a 4 year Lame Duck. But I will admit that I liked that speech he gave last night, almost sold me. I'm willing to give him a chance.
Anti-white racism in the African-American community is ugly.
Yes, but your forgetting something. According to several university policies and many many black in America, Blacks can't be racist. There is no such thing as Black on White racism because they can can't be that way. Only the evil white man can be racist, not black people.
Sarcastic, yes it is but there are people out there that believe that black people can't be racist. So since a majority of the black people voted for O'bama that doesn't make it racist. Bullshit, but there are actually people that believe that.
So what your saying is this is a horse of an entirely different color? Well maybe this is pretty spiffy other than same old rehash.
But still, it would be nice to see some practical developments as well as theoretical applications. We'll see where this goes. I just hope it doesn't go in to hole never to be seen again.
Blah Blah Blah. Its just another way to produce bio diesel. Whoopie wonder fuck. There are so many ways to produce biodiesel that its not even news worthy anymore. Seriously, biodiesel can be made from just about anything, algee, french fry grease, raw sewage. Time to stop harping about it and do something with it.
I am of the opinion that the votes should not be counted (or at least, the counts not made public) until all the polls have closed. If that means waiting until midnight Hawaii time, then so be it. That way, people's votes won't be tainted by results from polling stations in more easterly time zones.
You are indeed a wise man... err.. woman... err thing. That would actually make sense, and not just any sense. That should be common sense.
That is a fine and good but all the favors and ass licking won't mean squat if he fucks up the first 100 days. Both the Dems and Reps will simply ignore him if he doesn't get anything done in that time. I'm not ready to rule out the obama presidency yet but he still as all the signs of a lame duck to me.

FiveThirtyEight.com jacked up Obama's odds of winning to 98.1% I like those odds.
My bookie is giving 10 to 1 on McCain.
