Isn't he that incredibly cruel guy from the dog food commercials? You know:"This is Max. He's 12 years old. That's 84 years old in people years. (throws stick)Here, Max, run boy!"
Man, if he did that to my gramps, I'd kick his ass.
I suppose, what the world needs is a law to say that if you send someone a letter threatening legal action if they don't do something - then if they don't do it, you should be REQUIRED to take them to court - and to be liable for their costs, pain & suffering, mental anguish, etc, etc if they turn out to be innocent.
I think this is already a legal principle called barratry (sp).
Public record or not, that picture just looks too photoshopped to believe... The Chevron logo doesn't follow the lines of the ship where it is, her name doesn't follow the lines, there are no shadows on either... I think its fake. Next?
Uh-oh, looks like you offended one of the local linux only assholes. It simply amazes me that a good post such as this gets modded down as flamebait. Sorry, Linux gurus, its true. You don't see many Windows gurus, because for the most part, they're not needed. Install, go. LInux, on the other hand, has a huge learning curve, enough so that people who become skilled are called 'gurus.'
With Windows, if you want to set up a 100 system network, its point and click. I don't even know where to start with Linux to set up a 2 system network. I've got books and I'll learn, but its not comparable to setting up Windows.
And I can't stand Mickeysoft, for the record, I hope Linux kicks the shit out of Redmond, but this pantywaisted whiney-bitch shit the Linux crowd pulls is getting real old, real fast.
If someone doesn't like this, perhaps they can be adults and debate my points, instead of modding down like shit-chucking monkeys.
"Microsoft had us do an audit last year that took two weeks out of my schedule," Rugg said. "That's two week's work of taxpayers' money to satisfy Microsoft."
I don't know anything about Microsoft's corporate or school licensing schemes, but how can they compell anyone to do an audit? If they call saying "We want you to do an audit," and you say, "Uh, no?", then what will they do? Throw a tantrum? Gonna squirt some?
You can get a lot of the same news stories elsewhere, but it's nice to read an AP version of a story that doesn't have quite the same conservative slant that most papers print.
Ha ha ha ha ha!! As a large percentage of US birdcage liners are owned by the Hearst chain, the liberal slant is much more in evidence.
Only when he got the courtesy call that the semen stains were DNA matched to him, or some equivelent "can't squirm out of the shit this time" type of situation.
GWB lies every time he opens his mouth!
And I am sure you have tons of examples, like you can find on any conservative commentator's website showing the constant lying that Bill and Al have done for the past ten years. Where are your examples, AC? Nichts? Nada? Mafi?
So, now we have a president, who hasn't served in the military, with all his oil cronies, Dick and Condo-Leezuh, and that ilk, getting ready to start WWIII just so they can protect Chevron's profits.
How does this protect Chevron's profits? You know what would help the oil industry? Telling the environmentalists to piss off and start drilling Alaska, and restart the wells in west Texas. Then tell these raping middle eastern assholes to piss off. And where, exactly, are Dr. Rice's oil loyalties? I'm not sure why you grouped her in here, but I'm sure you have, no doubt, as many examples as you have of GWB's filthy lies.
You might go ahead and treat that handy dandy flowchart in the manner it deserves, but if you have toilet paper, then don't bother, it'll chaf.
Fascism and conservatism are polar opposites. "Fascist" is just the ad homineum attack that simpleton liberals use when they are losing an argument with a conservative.;) Whenever I hear a bleeding-heart call this or that conservative politician or commentator a fascist, I ask them first to spell it, then give a definition, because you shouldn't call someone something that you not only can not back up, but can not even properly define.
Plus, the fact that they chickened out and didn't use the filthy stinking arab extremists as the bad guys, when they are more likely to do something like this than anyone on earth.
As is pointed out in the book, the Japanese did not have large manufacturing districts to target, like the Allied forces or Germany did. Civilians were given a drill press and parts and told how to work the parts, and they did this from their home, as part of their contribution to the war effort. When this was pointed out to Truman, he said, "Why should we change our method of bombing just because they changed their method of making bombs?" (not a direct quote) The Japanese were not being 'punished' for their slaughter of hundreds of thousands of civilians, though God knows they deserved punishment; we were simply bringing the war to Japan, and did it to end the war. If 'punishment' was the goal, then why did we let them off so easy after they offered to surrender? 1)Think 2)Think again 3)Then open mouth
In the immortal words of Samuel L. Jackson in 'Pulp Fiction,' "You a smart motherfucker!" The thing about ClintonTheClown's (tm) cabinet appointments - he picked people to make him look 'diverse.' Donna Shalayla - lesbian, woman. Dr. Joclyn "MonkeySpank" Elders - black woman, and if that stupid idiot is not someone you can look at and say "Political payback," then no one is. Now look at Bush's picks. Colin Powell - 'nuff said. A General, self made man from Brooklyn, member of the JCS.... Dr. Rice. I'll tell you, if I were 10-15 years older and had the chance, I'd seriously want to bear her children. Smart, elloquent, speaks fluent Russian, talented, driven, successful at an early age, very classy.... Nothing not to like about this lady. That she or Powell are black are not the reasons they are part of Bush's cabinet. It is due to their imminent success and ability at the jobs they do that gives them the power positions they currently hold; their blackness is a complete side issue. Dr. Rice is without doubt or need for explanation Bush's right hand (wo)man and top advisor.
Of course, Clinton had Jessie Jackson as his 'spiritual advisor,' so maybe I'm full of shit.
After looking at your website, I feel you should do your own homework. Bush *won* the election, the supreme court didn't give it to him, as countless recounts showed. Time and again in this country, it is Dem's who practice ballot box stuffing, giving cigs/money/whatever to homeless people to get them to vote (documented cases of them taking vanloads of retarded adults to the polling places and 'helping' them fill out their ballots), enrolling the dead, keeping Dems who have moved out of the voting precinct on the local rolls, enrolling felons, non-citizens and even illegal aliens - the list goes on and on.
If you want to remain credible, don't preach about others educating themselves, when you carry such wild-assed claims as "the supreme court gave the election to Bush."
Does anyone else think it ironic that the only thing this guy has as a 'reference' is that he was AG under Johnson - the very man who got us into the Vietnam debacle? So, its ok for democrats to do it, but if Repubs do it, its impeachable? Tres typical.
Heh. I'll get us back on topic a bit. Beer is 'peevo' in Russian. One should know how to ask for alcoholic beverages in many, many languages. This word works in Czech and Slovenian, too.
I fully admit that I'm an odd bird in today's world. By *my* standards the guy who barely scrapes by with his own pool cleaning business is of a higher status than a corporation president, no matter how much he "makes."
We're fully in agreement on this point. If you work for someone and are rich and fat, but not happy, you are miles behind the guy who wears a t-shirt/shorts/Tevo combo to work every day, drives a beat-to-hell pickup, and smiles his ass off at not having to do the boss's bidding.
I certainly plan to do just that. At some point, I may need to employ people to help in my business. Once I do that, according to you, I become a slaveowner, and my employees are slaves. Makes sense.
The brainwash has been very effective if you believe working 12 hours a day is anything but slavery.
Wrong, buffalo lips. I work 12 hour shifts; I prefer it. As my username, faggy though it may sound, will indicate, I am a nurse. I and most of my coworkers prefer working 3 12 hour shift, instead of 5 8 hour shift. In fact, if I believed in brainwashing at all, I would believe you poor 5 day per week schlubs were the brainwashed ones. Lawyers: I hate 'em. But a lawyer who works 12 hours a day, 5-6 days a week, will make about 4-5 times what I make in a year, just in his first few years out of law school. Nice BMW, dude, too bad you're such a slave.
This sounds like American Socialist Party bullshit, to me.
A person who works for a living is hardly a slave. How can you even compare the two? A guy gets up in his house that he owns, takes a shower, has coffee, gets in his car that he owns, drives to work. Puts in his 8-12, depending on what he does. Comes home, picks up groceries on the way, calling his wife on his cell phone to ask what they need. Where's the slavery part? And could you please cite something that the founding fathers said that would indicate that they were worried about this sort of thing? How does a company stealing another's proprietary information - illegal - and selling it through fraud - also illegal - have *anything* to do with capitalism, tyrany, or slavery?
Not a chance. The only thing keeping the shuttle from burning up on reentry is the heat-tile on the leading edge and underneath. Once it breaks up, the rest will be immediately enveloped in 2000+degree F. plasma, which will crush it like a tin can. Those folks probably never knew what hit them.
Air-brake? Dude, that's what reentry is.... Slowing speed from orbital speeds. They were 38 miles up, going 12,500 miles per hour. There is no escape when things go pear-shaped in that situation.

Since nothing of the sort ever happened, I guess not.

Quit your job and start your own business.

In retrospect, what a stupid post.
Not a chance. The only thing keeping the shuttle from burning up on reentry is the heat-tile on the leading edge and underneath. Once it breaks up, the rest will be immediately enveloped in 2000+degree F. plasma, which will crush it like a tin can. Those folks probably never knew what hit them.
Air-brake? Dude, that's what reentry is.... Slowing speed from orbital speeds. They were 38 miles up, going 12,500 miles per hour. There is no escape when things go pear-shaped in that situation.
The parachute system isn't designed for the aerobraking part of reentry - they're still going about 12,000 miles per hour.
At any rate, a very depressing start for the day for many of us.
