I'm with you, but for exactly the opposite reason. I'm a streaming fan, not so much a DVD fan. It's going to cost me $2 less a month now!
I wish people would realize that not all great movies were made just in the last year. There are tons of movies I want to watch that were made in the last fifty years that are very good, not to mention television shows I missed or want to watch again.
Whenever I see people lined up around the block to see a movie's premiere, I always want to yell out at them, "Hey, they'll be showing the movie again tomorrow night!"
I lived without the internet for the first 42 years of my life.
It wouldn't be an easy thing to do now because I pay my bills online and do a lot of my shopping online, but I could go back to the old-fashioned way without too many headaches. Life would go on.
I'll keep my titanium frames. In nearly 50 years of wearing glasses I've never found anything stronger and lighter than titanium. Eyeglasses have to be dependable for those of us who actually use them to SEE, not just use them as a fashion accessory or political statement.
Seriously, I am in favor of random drug tests for all elected and appointed Federal officials.
As for this ruling, I expect the Court to go along with any kind of Fourth Amendment violations. They seem to be on the other side nowadays, i.e. against we the people.
Real chicken wire is rather flimsy. What you want is generally called "hardware cloth" with 1/2" square openings. You can find it at Lowes for less than $10.
Yep, we raised chickens when I was growing up. Tasty!
Nobody ever notices the most important part of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, namely Article 29.
(1) Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible. (2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society. (3) These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
THAT'S the problem! When your rights come from government, then the government can limit them or even take them away entirely. Do as we say or lose your rights! Still want to depend on the United Nations to protect your rights?
"They sell to people who laugh at the ineptitude of Best Buy's Geek Squad."
Truer words were never spoken . . . I mean uhh . . . written.
The only time you'll catch me in a Best Buy is if I have to have something right now, and I mean this very day. Newegg can get items to me in a couple of days, so usually Best Buy (if they even carry the item!) is left out in the cold.
Oh, and I'd never let anybody from the Geek Squad touch a computer of mine.
Huh? I just looked at it and it looked fine to me. The scroll when I browsed was so fast that you could call it nearly instantaneous. If you blinked, you'd miss it.
Back in the old days women would be working in the fields, stop and give birth, wrap the baby up, and go back to working. It's not that hard to believe a woman could use a computer or phone hours after giving birth.
You people are grasping at straws . . . . as usual.
It's Tennessee politicians who offend me. No, wait. It's ALL politicians who offend me.
Maybe if we limited sessions to one week a year they wouldn't have so much free time to think up crap like this particular law. That would go for city councils, county commissioners, state legislatures, and Congress. I wouldn't pay them a dime for public service either.
Do your jobs - pass a budget and protect our rights - then go home and work for a living like the rest of us.

I have a better idea: Only screen for terrorists, and let passengers who have concealed-carry permits take their weapons aboard the plane.
Not very politically correct, but very common sense.
Oh, and I agree about not needing the TSA.

Who writes the headlines and can we send him back to kindergarten?
I usually trust people, too. But I carry a loaded .45 just in case I run into one who can't be trusted.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for I'm the meanest sonofabitch in the valley.
Yeah, it makes me sad, too. When will two-thirds of consumers realize that government is one of the biggest problems in their lives?
The Fourth Amendment means nothing to the Feds.
Let's track all our elected officials, too!

It's all borrowed money anyway, money that will never be paid back.

When I have it all, then we can quit.
Worse yet, all too many parents are willing to leave the responsibility of rearing their children to government.

I can live with the interface just like it is.

Better yet, where's Obama's college records?
WikiLeaks won't touch that one I bet.

Can body panels change color by themselves?
Why would body panels explode just because they got lighter?
