Perhaps you are the one in need of a reading comprehension lesson.
Nowhere did I say I represent 49% of the US. Quite often the other countries the US forces it will on have no choice less they be economically sacked into the stone age. They aren't yet "foisting" it as you say, but you know the UK is already considering it. You can bet your sweet ass if another Republican gets elected it will be foisted. Kind of like the new passports with the "Hey, I'm an American" homing beacon built right in. That didn't get foisted did it?
You didnt say it, but this is awfully close to blaming the US for most of the world's (current and future) problems.
If another country decides to follow in the US' footsteps, thats their choice. The US isnt foisting this on anyone else. If its a bad idea, then maybe the other countries that adopt it need their citizens to rethink who they elected last time around and not blame the US for their own weird politicians. You're trying to tell us that the US doesn't force their will on other countries?
Note: When I say US I really mean W's administration, because believe it or not the other 49% of us are half way intelligent. (The implication that voting for W makes you a moron was intentional.)
This is kind of a moot point if you don't believe in intellectual property, which I don't. I see open source as a means to an end. I support it just the same because its open and free. That doesn't change the fact that I don't respect any copyright or any other intellectual property non-sense. Copyright licenses on open source software is just attempt to play the same game with someone else's rules and ball. Its the "can't beat 'em, join 'em" addage.
I think what's really going to be interesting some day is when we discover an alien culture that has already invented everything we've invented and patented it with the inter-galactic patent bureau. They will more then definitely have prior art on any concept. Then I think people will realize how pointless it is to own an "idea".
gods do not exit because I have faith they do not exist. I know without a single solitary doubt in my mind that there is no god.
This is truth.
I wish with all my heart I could get religious peoples reactions after they die, just so I could laugh, and hard. Unfortunately that won't happen because when you die, that's it. You're a useless lump of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen mixed together.
So I'll take this chance now to laugh at all those who think they are going to heaven/hell, Valhalla, get your 72 virgins or what have you. Because it's not going to happen, ever. I apologize, but to this point you have wasted your life following a worthless religion. Take this chance to realize the truth spoken above and better yourself by forsaking your "god" and living for yourself.
As for who I am, it really wouldn't be hard to find out. If you want to go ahead. I don't care about my slashdot karma, or I wouldn't make posts like this.
The point of my original post was this: Don't harm (or let harm come to) your children because of your ridiculous beliefs. Its just stupid christian logic to think that a virus vaccine would make kids want to have sex more. Teenagers are going to have sex if they want to. No promise ring will stop that. The best thing to do is make teenagers comfortable with the subject so you can discuss it with them. Once you have a report you have a much better chance of reaching them with the message of abstinence.(which isn't bad, just unlikely)
As for me being a hypocrite in pushing my ideals on others, I'm really not. I have this strong urge to correct people when they are wrong. You have been so corrected.
in closing, as if I haven't pissed off enough of you nuts here's a little conversation I had with my father when I was 15, in the car on a road trip. We had just left, no turning back.
Dad> So Sid do know about how true love waits?
Me> *Stupid questioning look on my face* Huh?
Dad> Its waiting to have sex until you are married.
Me> Huh?
Dad> See if you make a promise to me not to have sex until you are married I will give you a "Promise Ring" that symbolizes it.
Me> *moment of silence* Oh, wait you think I'm a virigin?
*more awkward silence for the next hour until we reach our destination*
Me> Glad we had this talk Dad. //sorry for the double post but I got owned by the submit button.

It is possible to mod up someone with whom you disagree. Its called respect. Anyone who believes in any religion or god deserves no respect. Christians specifically are a pox on this society. They push their views and ridiculous morales on others with no consideration of the fact that they ARE unwanted.
That guy got modded as a troll because there isn't a modding for "Complete and Utter Moron".
I have to say I support this drug if it does what its cracked up to and has no ill side effects. If this is actually the case then it should be mandatory just like any of the other vaccinations required for school. I'm really against the nanny state, but I'm even more against children paying the price because their parents lack a frontal lobe with which they think with themselves.
I also think its rather lame the governor of Texas took a bribe to sign it in and make it a requirement.
//Yes I know my karma is going to hell for this post, but at least I have the balls to do it with my login.
Um... You mean Yahoo right? They are the ones that gave up a dissident reporter that more then likely got him killed.
So far the only faux pas that google has committed is in censoring search results.
Your welcome, for the free ticket on the clue train.
so much for moderating in this thread.
That title is really misleading. Personally I was expecting it to pertain to libraries and schools, but that wasn't noted in the sensationalist headline.
This is total spin and should have never been posted on slashdot, my god.
Here is a link with a statement from the real owner of the Tolkien rights saying that Jackson will definitely do the Hobbit. The rights for the movies revert back to him sometime within the next year.
This Shaye guy can sit on it and spin himself, greedy fuck.
I never agreed to shit. I clicked a radio button that says "I agree" but only because I knew it would serve up a response that I wanted, if I choose "I do not agree" the outcome would not be acceptable. This is the same with any software that I install on my computer.
Furthermore I have absolutely no responsibility to anyone to let any network traffic past my router and into my computer.
My computer is my own. I own it, bought and paid for. Its mine, I can do whatever I want with it. No advertiser has a right to transfer media to my computer. If I choose to allow it is a privilege. If that privilege is abused, then it certainly will be revoked.
Advertisements are the equivalent of someone coming up to your house and stuffing garbage in your mail slot(a federal offense btw). I didn't ask for it. I don't want it and if I happen to nail that mail slot shut that is my right.
It's just a data collision. In my job working for a cab company I answer the phones. If I get a call for a cab at the same place twice in a day I double check it to make sure I'm not making a duplicate or something that will conflict.
I don't see why this is so amazing, you are just putting two and two together.
Switch hands. Don't like it? Tough. Beats having a repetitive stress injury.
Think about all you do in a day with your dominant hand.

I don't really see the Series of Tubes missing Utah. They are welcome to create their own Series of Tubes without keywords.
I know I'm not going to miss them.

Eh you got me, wrong on two parts. Teach me to stick my nose where I don't know the subject. I thought it was a good quip though.
Who do you thinks going to get the credit when they finally invent fission? The person who thought it up or those that actually made it?
In hindsight I'm glad I never installed Google Desktop.
