"Of a caliber" is a statement of comparison. Neither Ladas nor Yugos are good cars, but you can still say that Yugos were not of the same caliber as a Lada, because a Lada is crappy but better.
Uhh... those pretty much look the same as McDonald's. But Burger King's do stink. Regardless, I'm intelligent enough to realize that others' tastes may vary from mine.
"Stale" lettuce? First of all, it can be "wilted", but not "stale". And how does one keep a stock of "stale" foot items in a volume business like fast food? It's not stale.
Pictures and articles depicting George W. Bush as a monkey: not racist.
Pictures and articles depicting Barack or Michelle Obama as a monkey: racist.
Why?
My 1995 Skylark had a gearshift that was not physically attached to the transmission, and my Alero has an RFID chip in the ignition key. Your rant against US automakers is amusing, but wrong. That being said, GM is smart enough that the fail condition in tranny-by-wire is to go to neutral (which I found out with the Skylark, unfortunately) and I expect Ford is the same.
You are teaching religion as science, I don't even think fundamentalist muslims do that.
Neither do Americans. Try not to get your "news" from the left-wing blogs.
Then you sort-of ban freedom of speech by forbidding blogging, of all stupid things to ban
When did that happen?
(whatever happened to land of the free?)
Congress is working on "correcting" that right now with "Cap and Trade" and universal health care bills. Naturally, the average Slashdotter who claims to love freedom backs these bills.
introduce laws like DMCA, and are actively trying to destroy the whole worlds intellectual property laws.
The world, right now, is working on "harmonizing" the IP laws by forcing everyone to abide by the most oppressive ones by treaty. Everyone is part of the problem.
Bill Moyers isn't exactly a fount of insight. This is the guy who said Karl Rove was a closet agnostic because he said he wished he was a better Episcopalian, and claimed that the right would stage a coup if Kerry won the 2004 election.
Two, that actual bankers that committed fraud to the tune of trillions were punished by (at most) being handsomely paid off and sentenced to go golfing for the rest of their lives.
No, actually those guys are still working on the universal health care bill.
If you don't have any kids in school, then it's welfare. Regardless, Congress doesn't have any authority in the Constitution to regulate schools, yet they do through the Dept. of Education.
Indeed. The Amish do without it, voluntarily. Let's face it, we just don't WANT to live without it. And the configuration of most modern homes depends on it. People don't even need television! A radio and a telephone are still adequate to receive vital information and call for assistance in an emergency. The lawyer Henry Anderson cited in the article was right: we adopted socialism to allow government to "undertake the manufacture or supply of the ordinary subjects of trade and commerce, or to impose burdens upon the whole community for the supposed benefit of a few."
The problem is, the Senate writes the tax code, and the guy in charge of that committee has been caught cheating on his income tax without suffering prosecution or even PENALTIES or INTEREST.

You're entitled to your opinion, but you are greatly outnumbered by both experts and lay people.

You forgot the Gameboy COLOR!

That's a pretty silly supposition, don't you think? It's beef. They claim on their own site that it's all beef with just salt and pepper seasoning.

He should get ducking lessons from George W. Bush.

Someone already has that covered.
It doesn't say "neutral", but I bet it's one he tried.

The first rule of spam club is that you don't talk about spam club.
No to mention that allowing non-law enforcement (the Sony reps) into a residence on a warrant without any justification is absurd.
Yes, thanks to the TARP that the federal government passed.

Why? Because national defense and mail delivery are EXPLICITLY authorized by the Constitution.
Gee... maybe we shouldn't have those. Socialism seems to be the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems (like beer; thanks Homer Simpson).

Stepin Fetchit was black. Was he racist against himself? Or is this just another example of "progressive" hypocrisy?
But he doesn't look like any Jamaicans I've seen. His skin is not the right color, for one, and he lacks hair.
Kick your "friend" in the junk for using your real name. It won't solve anything, but you'll feel better.
