    I know right?
    I mean, since when did a pirate never sail the seas drinking rum and killing people for their loot? I mean they actually worked for it!
    But now a days, you got these kids sitting at home, browsing sites, looking for software that is outside their financial reach so they can learn it to get a good job.
    What a bunch of ass grabbers!

    The number of people who have 150 mill to drop is pretty tiny as well, then you factor in who of those that would actually want to go.

    Interesting rant.
    So, one would rather have a mindless zombie with the old style "dont question authority and stay on that production line" from the 50s.
    Pray tell.. where did all the thinkers come from then?
    You know why China's kids want to be more innovative and inventive like American kids? It is because they teach like you are preaching.
    You want innovation, critical thinking, you want drones to put tube in hole, you teach as proposed by Texas.

  6. Re:still... on Immigrants Crucial To Innovation · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Your information is correct, up until the end.
    Unless you are joking, we force imported people from Africa, we took Irish off the boat to fight in the Civil War for legal status, we have allowed and exploited illegal immigrants for many years (See 1980s/1990s Asian importing of illegals).
    Do I wish everyone was legal? Yes. I think they can and are exploited, used as slaves, held for ransom, and paid small and illegal wages because of their status.
    To top that all off, if you increase your immigration without control, you will soon find yourself in a situation where food is not highly available, resources are strained, and governments can collapse. There are cases in history where this has happened.
    So... if you want to tie it up into a neat little package of "racism" or "prejudice" you are dead wrong and highly uneducated about the issue.

    Actually AoL was/is a self contained network, so it wasnt really on the internet.
    It did provide a gateway to it, and when I was on it in 1993, I found out after a year that it wasnt the internet like I thought. Instead AoL was nothing but a controlled network with a filtered and censored gateway to the real internet.
    Then i got a real ISP and enjoyed freedom ever since.

  9. Enough! on More Hot Weather For Southern California, Says UCLA Study · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Enough of these ignorant blurbs.
    I dont care if this shit is accurate or not, I am going to attempt to do what is right, not what is cheaper.
    History has proven that cheaper is not better for us, for the environment, or for our future.
    If it were, we wouldnt worry about lakes catching on fire, cancer eating our bodies, and carbons heating up the earth (this is true BTW, look at historical evidence, and not just 50 years ago, more like 5 million years).
    So shut the fuck up, make your decision, and die in your environment, or live in it.

    I dont think people give a fuck about others owning fire arms. It is more about people giving a fuck that if they are this stupid to shoot in dry grass, they are stupid enough to do other things.

    The medical industry has found that it is best to take advantage of the sick by reducing production and increasing demand.
