The US seems determined to turn itself into an empire.
I totally disagree, but as with most disagreements, we're basing our arguments on different definitions of the word 'empire'.
I don't think the US is trying to conquer the world, however I do think that it is trying to spread its 'faith', ie. democracy and capitalism, as its way of promoting world peace. One could argue Christianity is part of that bundle also, but that will fade as the old guard dies off.
Sorry sir, but you are a total fucking idiot. It sickens me that my countrymen die so that you have the freedom to express your uninformed views about the world.
If it wasn't for US foreign policy, Europe would be one big Germany.
If it wasn't for US foreign policy, there would be no "South" Korea.
Shall I go on? Too bad, you aren't worth any more of my time.

I suggest you shit-fart over the entire chair, then attempt to clean. This will ensure a even coating of shit, which will in-turn ensure a consistent layer of post cleaning residue/stains, regardless of your cleaning method.
Reduce your browser window size, or change your font size. You have full control of those (as per proper usability guidelines).

Yoda is no longer cool.
Quoting Yoda will no longer result in (5,funny), but instead (-1, Offtopic)
Appropiate Gollum quotes should now be used in place of Yoda quotes.
Remember, Slashdot is a business. More site traffic means more $$$. So which headline will generate more site traffic: UK councils dump Windows for Linux
or UK council doing feasibility studies on switching from Windows to Linux
Most of my mail (not email) goes straight into the trash/shredder. Why? its junk mail. And last time I checked, the senders of junk mail have to pay. The game will change, but the results will be the same
Someone tell me again why I'm not allowed to like Flash? And is it safe to like Homestar Runner? Or is that only for farkers? We really need an official "Slashdot Manual of Ethics and Conduct" to spell out exactly what we can and cannot like. I mean, like what if I happen across some Anime, but its in Flash!?!?! I don't wanna lose my badge!!
But seriously, this goes a long way to prove the panspermia theory. Or atleast to disprove all the nay-sayers. If a pencil-tip-sized worm can survive that impact, then bacteria should be able to survive the impact of a comet.
All this proves is that worms in a locker can survive a shuttle crash. That's the problem with all these conspiracy theories and wacky beliefs about the world. Someone looks at two statements, one of which is fact, and they conclude the other is fact, because it just seems like it might be true based on the first one. They then use their new 'fact' as a basis for proving other things, and away we go.

Pity those people who talk with their hands.
Pressing a button or turning a knob cannot be misinterpreted, waving a hand can

I'd be curious to see if whoever modded my post as troll considers themselves a liberal, likewise if the insightful moderator is a conservative.

Good luck.
Wouldn't 'Clint Eastwood' fall under rule 5's jurisdiction? I'd say 'Clinte Astwood' would be a better candidate for rule 11, myself.
How about Clit Asswood?
I think I'm gonna get this game just to see how many naming rules I can violate.

And that's why one day all of us free thinking geeks will step into one of Mr. Carmack's rocket ships and start us a new nation.
Don't worry, I just saw it as an opportunity for some karma whoring. Need it to support my troll posts.

Will I be able to code myself urine that tastes like apple cider and poop that tastes like swiss chocolate?
Given some of the fetish videos out there, I'd make that german chocolate
Dude, seriously, fix the quote
