  1. Re:Yeah but... on Gas Prices Jump; California Hardest Hit · · Score: 1, Insightful

    For years oil companies' profit margins have remained about the same, in fact, much lower than most industries. Government makes more off a gallon of gasoline than the oil companies.

  2. Re:But that's not the real problem. on To Encourage Biking, Lose the Helmets · · Score: 2

    We have too many assholes here in the U.S. who are looking for any reason to sue somebody and hit the lawsuit lottery. The lawyers would love it and they would be advertising 24/7 for clients.

  3. Re:Glenn Beck is a fucking moron. on Glenn Beck Reports CIA Plot Between Embassy Killing and Something Awful · · Score: 3, Informative

    In fact he even says not to believe him until you do your own research. So much of what he does is pure comedy and sometimes it's hard for the slower ones amongst us to tell the difference.

    Remember that sometimes he gets his point across by using hyperbole and comedy. You have to listen to several shows and learn his method before you judge him.

  4. Re:Romneybot to lose debate on The Fastest ISPs In the US · · Score: 1, Insightful

    One thing I've noticed in my 59 years on this Earth. socialists and communists will always deny that anyone other than themselves are socialists or communists. And they will always say that nobody but themselves know what the terms mean.

    According to some here on slashdot the Communist Party is not communist and the Socialist Party is not socialist. Say what?!?!

    And the sky isn't blue.

  5. Re:This guy gets added to my list... on New Content-Delivery Tech Should Be Presumed Illegal, Says Former Copyright Boss · · Score: 1

    If you're going to hate somebody that much, at least get their name right. It's Bill O'Reilly.

  6. Re:For sure! on Iran's News Agency Picks Up Onion Story · · Score: -1, Troll

    Few here will believe you. They're so biased against FoxNews (though few have actually watched it), that anything said in FoxNews' favor just flies over their little adolescent heads. They'd rather get their news from Jon Stewart (or worse, MTV).

    That would be iSugar.

  8. Re:Law Enforcement at Work on Nebraska Sheriff Wardriving, Sending Letters About Unsecured Wi-Fi · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you think Obama is right of center, you're deluded.

  9. Re:Good times! Clearly, he's a dirtbag on Innocence of Muslims Filmmaker Arrested, Jailed · · Score: 1

    No need to go to youtube. Just watch the last half hour or so of Bill Maher's Religulous. That's a well-made popular movie that is even more insulting to Islam.

    One wonders why Muslims didn't go apeshit over it. And one wonders what Maher's life expectancy would be if he lived in Iran.

    The simple fact is they don't like us. Didn't a hundred years ago, didn't a year ago, and won't like us tomorrow. And now, thanks to Obama's apologies and bowing to everybody he gets near, they don't respect us either. Look for things to get much worse before they get better.

  10. Re:Inquity ? on ASIC Seeks Power To Read Your Emails · · Score: 1

    That is precisely the right word. Iniquity is premeditated sin which is engaged in with full knowledge, often with a measure of defiance - and even contempt.

    Governments all over the world seem to have nothing but contempt for the people and they are grabbing more and more power despite what the people want.

  11. Re:And it will go down if you get rid of Obama on Electronic Surveillance By US Law Enforcement Agencies Rising Steeply · · Score: 1

    Of course it won't go down if you get rid of Obama. He's just a symptom of the disease. The start of the cure is to get rid of all of them every election. We should be the ones to implement term limits. Holding office should not be a career. For those who don't keep up with current politics, try this method --- if you recognize a name on the ballot, vote for the other one.

    Then, maybe, we can start getting at the root of the cancer - the unelected and overpaid bureaucracy that holds way too much power over our lives. Congress can pass one law and then the bureaucracy gives us tons of regulations they think are right for us. It's time for this process to end.

    His other brother Franz was a better composer.

  13. Re:reflects well on Torvalds Uses Profanity To Lambaste Romney Remarks · · Score: -1, Troll

    What Obama budgets? At least the last two were soundly defeated by a majority of Republicans AND Democrats. We haven't had a budget passed in over 1000 days.

    Yes, Congress shares the blame, but a real leader in the White House would get things done.

    Face it. Obama is a slacker and would rather lead from behind.

  14. Re:Sounds like defeat on Appeals Court Caves To TSA Over Nude Body Scanners · · Score: 1

    You tell the truth and they mod you as a troll. Yep, slashdot users lean heavily towards the left.

    Islamic philosopher? Not quite. You need to do some more research. I've read all of his writings. Have you?

    He was born to a Maronite Catholic family and was educated in Maronite schools. He was "influenced" by Islam, Sufism, Hinduism and by the Bahai Faith. It's true that both Christians and Muslims like him, but he was a Christian.

    Four different names for Oxycontin. The unpronounceable chemical name, the generic name, the brand name, and the mispronounced name.
