We have NEVER elected by popular vote and both you and Algore know that (and knew that before the 200 elections).
You can sit there with a straight face and equate the law in Communist China and the law in the USA? They have NO freedoms. Assuming you are from the USA, you have simply failed to appreciate what God has given you through your birth into this great country (even with its problems).
And when dismissing the truth doesn't work, you
folks always resort to name calling. You are
SO predictable! Read the book. I know it doesn't
have any pictures, but it also isn't that long.
Or is your mind so closed that you are not even
open to the possibility that I am right?
You can't possible prove that first statement.
You know very well that drug users do harm others.
Usually family and friends, but not always.
Yes, when you can't counter the truth some (you)
find it easier to dismiss the evidence and hope
other will remain as ignorant as you. That is
the true source of the power liberals have over
others (ie, keeping them ignorant). Keep it up!
And, FYI, I agree with your screen name. You are!
I find it interesting that the same people who
blindly trust the government on one thing (ie,
the moon landings), distrust the government on
another (ie, homeland security matters). After
8 years of that jackass W.J. Blythe [Clinton, SIC]
I don't trust anybody... except Ivanova.;^)
I am PAYING for my bandwidth (first via dialup
and now via cable HSI). Also, I PAID for my
computer. In addition, I PAID for the software
I'm using. I have NO problem with banner ads.
I have a BIG problem with pop-ups, pop-unders
and e-mail SPAM. Those who use those to
"advertise" their products or scams are the real
thieves! They are stealing from me!
I have the right to self defense, and that
includes preventing them from stealing from me
(my time in having to close their ad windows and
sort through their e-mail, and my money which
paid for the items listed above).
It sounds to me like Mr. Shatner is just upset
that there was no campaign to bring back T.J.
Hooker. It is people like us that watch the
stuff people like him do that earns people like
him the money he makes, so that he can afford
to go around tellings people like us to get a
life. I would suggest to him that he keep
quiet and just enjoy the ride!
You have my sympathies. What you failed to
mention is that this deal includes living in a
country where they can drag you to jail at any
moment, shoot you in the back of the head and
then bill your family for the bullet. No thanks!
By the way, you folks just announced a change in
leadership. Did the guy you voted for win?;^)
Looking forward to the day when you are REALLY free!
My understanding is that the provider can simply
stop the service if they detect a problem. I do
not understand why that was not done here.
Surely that would have hurt the people violating
their contracts, as they had become accustomed
to the extra speed (on top of the already higher
than 56K modem speed). Sending them packing
back to a 56K modem ISP seems like punishment
enough to me, but then again it wasn't my product
that was stolen. I have had things stolen before
and I know that felt awful. I signed up for
broadband at the end of July (cable, 3Mbps DL
and 256 Kbps UL, for $35 a month, also in Ohio).
I love it, and I'm not going to do anything to
jeopordize my access to it. These people obviously
felt they were entitled to more than they paid for,
and they are getting that, in spades!
Some of you don't appreciate the freedoms you do
have. Be glad you don't live in a country where
they put a tire around your neck, fill it with
gasoline and light it on fire (ie, necklacing).
You bitch and complain and things you don't
even understand. This is NOT Nazi Germany and
it isn't even Castro's Cuba. We are blessed,
but you would rather complain about silly things.
Liberarians are okay, except for their stupid
stance on drugs (ie, legalize it and crime will
go down). The same things could be said for
rape or murder (ie, legalize them and crime will
go down).
As for the ACLU, if you think they are the good
guys then I'm afraid for your children too! For
a detailed description of the true ACLU you can
read the excellent book "Trial and Error: The
American Civil Liberties Union and Its impact
on Your family" by George Grant. The ACLU
supports: Legalization of child pornography,
Legalization of drugs, Tax exemption for satanists, Legalization of prostitution, Abortion
on demand, Mandatory sex education, Busing,
Ideological testing for court appointees,
Automatic entitled probation, Public demonstrations
for Nazis and communists, and Legalization of
polygamy. I doubt the founding fathers would
approve of any of those things.
The ACLU was founded in 1917 by Roger Baldwin, who
said "We are for Socialism, disarmament, and
ultimately for abolishing the state itself as an
instrument of violence and compulsion. We seek
the social ownership of property, the abolition
of the propertied class, and the sole control of
those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal."
Many other ACLU founding members went on to lead
the Communist Party USA. To this day, ACLU board
members read like a Who's Who of the American Left!
The ACLU (All Communists Love Us, or American
Criminal Lawyers Union) is still staffed by
communists and socialists who work almost
exclusively on the left or extreme left side
of the political spectrum, but occasionaly take
a case on the right or extreme right side just
to create the illusion of moderation (ie, the
Nazi's march through Skokie, Illinois, years ago).
You have been fooled, but you were not alone.
Read the book! And FYI, the left always name
their groups that way (like People for the
American Way, etc.) Know what you are getting into!
Slashdot Mirror
I have to agree on that issue. That was Clinton,
:^)
right (that did Waco)? [Answer: yes it sure was!]
Am I dealing with two different "Anonymous Coward"
posters here, or are you schizophrenic?
Suck on what? Feel free to start making sense
any time you are ready.
If you are talking about China, they persecute
Christians all the time. Try paying attention.

No, unfortunately you liberals are everywhere.

Thank you. We have enough morons as it is. :^)
