If you want to enjoy skillful art, you're far better served at a farmer's market or country fair than at an exhibition in the city. And it's not about folk art, either-- I'm referring to adept use of color, figure, and light to depict a variety of scenes and subjects.
The opponent that the socialists prefer to attack is the one that is the cold, unfeeling, and selfish straw man, rather than the (classical) liberal who believes in the able taking responsibility for his own livelihood, but also in the moral responsibility to protect the weak.
If they have substance abuse problems, we should be helping them conquer those problems. Then they should start earning wages, and eventually become able to move out of the shelter on their own. I'm not interested in treating able people like wards of society. The mentally and physically disabled are a different matter, but the rest of the homeless must be put on a path toward independence.
It does seem to be more expedient to simply PAY A WAGE to the homeless "hotspot". After all, aren't we supposed to be helping the homeless get out of their tough situation? If they're not interested in improving their situation, it's pointless for them to participate.
They are an emotional and over-reaction group of people. But the US made them that way.... the US did it to Germany as well. When we 'pacified' them over the decades, we shifted their thinking and their sense of reason. So instead of saying "okay, here are the causes of the problem, let's fix them!" they are more concerned about who is to blame and are focusing on the fact that nuclear energy is an awesome and powerful source of energy which is also very dangerous.
Because we didn't let them have an army, they lost the ability to make decisions and solve problems? Seriously? What else are we going to blame the US for now?
If you want people to sacrifice, first you have to have a goal. Great sacrifices were made to stop the Axis powers in WWII, and that goal was clear. If there is no goal, then there is no clear end, and the people will rightfully identify the proposition as a mere power grab-- and when rights are taken away, they are very difficult to get back.
I've not really paid attention to Santorum, but listening to Obama speak
You've only heard what the mainstream media wants you to hear. Trust me, what the President says to small groups of people is frightening compared to the bigger venues the media actually reports on.
A stolen credit card number? "No problem, provide us a list of suspicious charges. Oh, this suspicious charge on your list...you actually made."
"I did? Sorry, they're hard to understand, these cryptic entries."
"Too bad. Our policy is to force you to pay for all the fraudulent charges, if even one of those charges is mis-identified."
"Fuck!" (My honest friend's story.)
What does this have to do with protests? You're dealing with an unethical company, here. Get the BBB and your state's consumer protection department involved.
No really-- there is a term "less than lethal" used in the industry to describe products which are designed to be nonlethal. A typical.22 LR cartridge, while low in stopping power, is designed to be lethal. Pepper spray is designed to not kill. Because sometimes products designed not to kill occasionally still do-- because nothing is certain in this world-- the term "less than lethal" was coined.
He may have had the Zoom 14.4 card I had. It had no error correction or compression on the card; there was some Winmodem-like interface to a very limited number of terminal programs that would perform the V42/v42bis functions for you. Mine actually came with one such app, but as I recall I only used it with really big downloads as I had to reboot into Win 3.1 to use it (it wouldn't work under OS/2 for some reason). What was weird is that for the short time I used IBM's internet service, their dialer seemed to do its own compression because I used it with that modem and got over 2 KB/s all the time.
Most music has always sucked. The "90% of everything is crap" has always been true.
It's like the adage, "they don't make them like they used to." Well, they used to make lots of junk too, but it all fell apart and went in the landfill so all we have left is the good stuff.
OK, we're not talking about just IBM PCs and XTs here. We're talking about Commodore VIC/64/128, Apple ][ (to some extent), TRS80, Atari 400/800, etc. Their RAM checks and bootstraps took mere seconds.

Tentacle porn?
FTFY.
Remember, this is the land of the mandatory home inspections by the police. Let's not hold them up as the model of a perfect society.
Great... we have politics trumping both science and democracy.
Who let Janeane Garofalo in here?

You discredited yourself with that clearly laughable statement.
Actually, you are supposed to be judgmental about those who profess to be Christians-- and only they. 1 Cor 5
If these amateurs keep getting butthurt and attacking people just for calling them "childish", they won't last long.
I am not an expert in the area of child abuse, and am therefore unqualified to make a determination. How's that?
... buffer bloat...

So ethical behavior requires training? I think the responsible citizen should know not to throw feces at other people. Monkeys do that.

Well, then that explains his problem. He was using an early alpha build!

Apparently public schools teach kids about 1980s history by showing them "Miami VICE".
Just like you can discredit any OWS "member" by airing an unedited recording. MISS THE POINT MUCH
