  1. I wish they would delete mine. on Is Algeria Deleting Facebook Accounts? · · Score: 1

    The best I could do when I wanted to delete my Facebook account was deactivate it. It occasionally gets reactivated when someone hacks it and I have to deactivate it again.

    Dial-up has lower latency than satellite, I speak from experience, when I play online poker I use dial-up. Factor in the Fair Access Policy and you can download more through dial-up in 24 hours than you can through satellite. Dial-up: 5MB/hr x 24hrs=288MB Satellite: 200MB FAP limit per 24hrs for the $40 plan.

    Shooting a gun in the same situation seem even more irresponsible - the bullet may just go through the critter, and end up into one of your neighbors..

    That is why you use a shotgun.

  12. Re:Wild Animals Should Stay In the Wild on Opossums Overrun Brooklyn, Fail To Eliminate Rats · · Score: 1

    Having encountered an opossum at close range, I am not ashamed to admit it was frightening. I imagine that having one in the house would be very bad.

    You should have used prejudice instead of racist, but I understand the point you were making. Seems like their are a lot of double standards in prejudice, some hate is accepted by society. I'm not even sure if I have ever met a person that doesn't have some sort of prejudice.
