Since I'm not deaf, I listen to the radio myself through an earplug. You know, the way they do it now. And the radio is about the size of a stick of chewing gum.
Actually, we're treating them a lot nicer than we have to. According to the recognized rules of warfare, non-uniformed combatants in military operations can generally be shot on sight as spies.
of course it's "a business." A very poor execution of a shoot the messenger fallacy on your part.
Whenever someone mentions Nazi, of course they are thinking white supremacy. That's all people think of when they think of Nazi today.
Calling the kook left WASP haters is simply a statement of fact.
To have a battle of wits, you actually need to bring some. Better luck next time.
- What's your solution to the problem of the voting public being swayed into voting for whoever spends the most money and gets the most face time on television?-
Your profanity aside, the statement clearly implies your belief that money spent dictates who wins elections. If you meant otherwise, learn to write. (Hint: Profanity does NOT make you sound intelligent or passionate, but rather, crude, classless, tasteless and uneducated.)
Well, you might start by stopping spreading that myth around. Do a little research and you'll find that total money spent on a campaign, past a certain minimum amount to get the candidate name and message recognition has a minimal effect on who gets elected.
I'll get you started. Gray Davis beat Tom Mclintock even though McClintok outspent him about three to one.
Only if you're a Democrat. You may then donate if you are from any of the following nations:
France Germany Canada Communist China
You may also donate if you are any buddhist monastery.
Communist China is the preferred donor, because they will give you big bucks in exchange for a few little US technology factoids, and they are very good at laundering the money (ooh, a racist joke!)
Then, why don't you start a PAC to express your views and influence the politicians in the direction you want them to go.
PACs are a legitimate expression of the desires of like-minded people in influencing elected officials. Jefferson called them factions and considered them part of a healthy representative government, since they gave like-minded people voice and influence in government.
Here's a fun research project for you. Find the number of candidates in the last five years who were defeated by individuals spending LESS money.
Be prepared to be surprised at the results.
You'll find that past a certain level of money required to get the candidate's message out, the amount of money spent on a campaign has little effect on the final outcome.
If you understood what facism is, you wouldn't make this statement and show the world what kind of fool you are.
Facism is a governmental system where the state nationalizes all industry. The very idea of a Republican wanting to nationalize an industry is so hysterical as to be complete lunacy.
however, the idea of a democrat wanting to nationalize an business is a documented fact (national health care).
Of course, you could make the claim that the white supremacists are on the kook right, therefore republicans are closer to the racial purity nonsense of the Nazis. But you could also make the claim that democrat kooks are rabidly anti-white and are closer to the racial bigotry of the Nazis.
So, which is more nazi-like? White supremacist movements on the kook right? or rabid anti-white put them in the concentration camps WASP haters of the kook left?
Oh, please. It was the great politician, lovingly referred to as Mr. Sam who said it best:
No good politician would ever take a donor's money and then feel obligated toward him in any way.
I always get a big kick out of people here ranting on and on about how corrupt, dishonest and untrustable politicians are. Except of course, when it comes to honoring the wishes of the people sending them money. Then they are as pure, honest and trustworthy as can be.
Um, the electoral college was put in because STATES elect the President, not the people.
Theoretically, at least, we're a federal republic.
BTW, Jefferson and a number of the other founding fathers were terrified of pure democracy, considering it, rightly so, to be nothing more than mob rule.
The Dems have handled this brilliantly. They have completely turned the focus of this from the contents of the pilfered material to the act of pilfering itself.
Everyone is all in righteous rant over Republicans raiding Democratic staffer computers, and not a peep is heard at the racist rants against Estrada and other minorities in the documents themselves.
And, of course, the fact that the US signed some stupid treaty saying that any profit in space belongs to the "community of earth," or some such other socialist crap has nothing to do with it.
And this is why robots suck when it comes to exploration. They cannot react to the unexpected. The scientists didn't anticipate this, and now they're trying to figure out how to macgyver something so they can take a look at it.
With human explorers the scenario goes something like: Bob, look! Olivine! Grab me a shovel and let's see what's underneath.
Except that the train will have to slow down when in the city, so there goes most of your speed advantage.
I rode the Shinkansen regularly when I lived in Japan. Once you got out of Tokyo, the thing screamed, but when you were in the city, it chugged along just as fast as every other train for safety reasons.
These are addictive substances that will rot a society to death from the inside out.
You want a case study? Try the following. These are excerpts from a Washington Times article Dated June 11, 2002, written by Robert E. Sullivan.
It discusses the Miskito tribe in Nicaragua. A communal society of 25,000 that made the decision to enter the drug market when they found some cases of cocaine washed up their beaches.

Actually, conducting electricity simply requires a flow of electrons. Gold is incredibly inert chemically, and is a superb conductor of electricity.
Helium as a gas conducts electricity poorly for two reasons: 1) The electrons are in a very stable configuration, and, 2) as a gas, the atoms are too far apart for electrons to move from atom to atom, which is required for an electrical current.

In other words, you don't work for free. You write software as part of your job. Working for free means you don't get a paycheck for ANYTHING you do.
Come back and tell us what that feels like six months from now.

Yeah. It uses a device called a ballpoint pen.

Um, the Communist Party USA quit running presidential candidates about ten years ago. They now instruct their members to vote the Democratic ticket.
This is not a joke. You can look it up.

Never let the facts get in the way of an opinon.
The US has an excellent record of keeping treaties. We even exited the ABM treaty according to the terms of the treaty.
The reason the senate has been so active in NOT ratifying Kyoto, is precisely BECAUSE the US adheres to treaties.
Find some other reason to hate America.

And we wonder why NASA is a joke?
Then, in a century, Earth would be a third-world planet, and you'd all whine against the wealth and power of Mars.
