    As anyone who lives in a bordering state knows. Unfortunately yes Ohio is part of the US. Get out of the fucking fast lane.

    Hell I didn't know he made $500,000 my bad. Bringing in that kind of cheddar he is definately a star.

    I guess my definition of "star" is a little off. Apparently a "star" is someone who most people have never heard of. I've never played Portal so I didn't hear the song. What would someone like Micheal Jackson (what I would consider a "star") be, a "supernova"? Mr. Coulton may have written the best song I've never heard, but calling him a "star" is a bit much.

    In many rural areas satelite is the only available option and the pricing is definately in the rediculous category. $40 for up to 1MB down speed 200 MB/day cap. SSL is dialup speed.

    I have seen "true poverty" where I went to high school. Their are lots of children that only eat when they go to school and get a free lunch. I remember one kid in school who the teacher bought a pair of shoes and a coat for him. He came to school the next day wearing his old shoes and no coat. The teacher asked him about it and he said his father had taken them for himself. Maybe you grew up in a nice suburb but there are children in the US of motherfucking A that do live in poverty.

    Where I live there is one high school in the county and its about a half hour drive from where I live and I'm about half way between the school and the county line so it's further for others. The only broadband we have access to is satelite. I also imagine there are quite a few children in this county that do not have a computer. Also I do not get cell service.

    Though I have never read the Turner Diaries, I knew that's what I was reading after the first couple of sentences. I start by saying I am a Socialist if I have to label myself and a gun owner. Where I live guns in the US gun ownership is a part of the culture. Everyone learns how to responsibly shoot and handle a gun at a young age. It is legal to openly carry a gun without a permit and is no big deal if I see someone carrying one (you dont see it very often and it just looks goofy). But, looking at my pocket Constitution (thank you Heritage Foundation for the free one, but as i've told you many times I am a Socialist and don't want to donate, so stop calling) I'm not conviced the Constitution guarentees individual gun ownership. The second amendment is about as clear as mud. To bring my post on topic I am posting this from an iPhone but I use Windows on my PC. maybe if I got a Windows mobile phone or a Mac desktop I would be able to finally decide how i feel about the second amendment. PS NRA please quit calling too. The propaganda about how the Obama administration is taking away gun rights is getting old. Especially since none of the self proclaimed NRA member callers can name one piece of legislation signed by Obama that has taken away gun rights.
