bullshit. welfare doesn't prevent crime, it merely allows the crooks to be better fed while they rob you. here in australia we have a great welfare system and plenty of area's are infested with criminals stealing everything not nailed down.
" Everything he is saying about the american health insurance industry is true"
you lost all crediblity right there. moore is a sensationalist idiot. note stupid mind you, he's very clever at getting people to believe his idiotic points of view.
the truth is, health funds payout something in the order of 90%+ of contributions by members. many people who are sick and dieing cling to unproven treatments which aren't covered by the funds for very good reasons, and they take out their fear and desperation on the funds.
one thing i do NOT agree with is funds paying out to bullshit artists like naturopaths, it's a waste of money and gets nil result for a lot of money.
why doesn't moore focus his engery on the real rip off artists, like reflexologists who claim they can cure you by tapping your feet with a piece of wood.

and no, just because your not selling something it doesn't mean it's ok for someone else to violate your license agreement.
haha, what the fuck are they waiting for legal approval for? is legal going to tell them it's ok to violate someone elses copyright?
This is why i hate software firms, stealing of gpl'd code is rife in the industry, yet software firms (i'm looking at you microsoft) are constantly pointing the finger at OSS as if THEY are the ones guilty of theift.
the reality of the situation is that OSS is far more concious of copyright and patent issues then anyone else, and do far more then anyone to audit code for violations yet somehow have been slapped with this label of code stealers.
nurses unions are elitest? my mother has been a nurse for 25 years and from what i've seen they are far from elitest. doctors yes, but anyone with a brain and drive can become a doctor. the problem with staffing issues is pay and fear of being sued by white trash who's prodecures go wrong.
i agree, unfortunately fatties whinge loudly and vote lots, so it's not going to be mandated unless it reaches a crisis point.
the other issue, is people aren't really fat by choice, it's because we live in a world of abundance that's never been before. we are born to eat, and it's pretty hard to fight it. since we can't fight the desire to eat we should fight the other causes, such as lack of exercise and lack of sleep. at this level i believe companys can help. give your employee's a free sporting membership, give them time off to exercise during the week. here at work we have 40 minute warm up exercises 3 times a week and it's reduced the number of soft tissue injuries, which has made up for the time it take to do the exercises. don't make people work long hours which prevents them getting exercise. hell it'd probably be a good investment and help lower the companys health fund premiums.
As long as google isn't removing or altering the listing of desenting views on their engine this isn't evil. it's just a PR service. you have to face it, that many people like michael moore talk total bullshit, companys should have the right to produce their own counters to such nonsense.
always remmeber that with people like moore, you aren't seeing the truth, just their highly opinionated and edited version of it.
that's part of the issue - these kinds of people think that lizards and birds have the same rights and worth as you or I.
No - i am worth MORE then a fucking lizard or a bird, yes i am better then both. I would gain great enjoyment by a trip to those islands, a bird merely views it as a place to land, eat,shit and fuck.
ok, you morgage your house and take out a personal loan to pay for it and i will. nice and easy to solve the worlds problems from an arm chair isn't it?
here's a thought, people were all over those islands before they knew any better, carefully controlled human presence on the island isn't going to make anything worse, maybe even better as research there can help give us more insight into how ecosystems like this work.
are an activist organisation who think any form of violence is justified because they THINK they have the moral high ground. They are nothing other then no science agenda pushing assholes
yep, that's about it. ever notice that stats like that are nice round numbers. if they had actual facts, wouldn't the figure be 150,001, not a neat 150,000? oh thats because they don't really know THEY ARE JUST MAKING SHIT UP.
That is such a load of bullshit, i hardly know where to start.
how about, that even IF climate change is man made (that's a big IF) there is NO CREDIBLE way to link someone dieing in a storm to exxon. The storm could have happened without climate change, the person could have not walked into that torrent of water, there's no way to trace emissions to a specific company as the cause for a storm or any kind of weather.
It just shows the absurd claims global warming cult members will make in order to feel self righteous.
yeah i guess kiwki mart wages do seem like a lot when you live with mom and your only expense is a packet of dorito's each night to munch down while you play WoW.
I think you flying anywhere in a private jet is just as likely as you mr "thePowerOfGraySkull", jumping on your talking tiger and riding over here to get me.
I dislike the attitude that my generation has (25 - 35's) that you should work your self to the bone hoping to retire rich. enjoy life while your young, don't sacrifice the best years of your life to a faceless thankless company.
sure you need to work to have money to enjoy life, but their comes a point where you really didn't need to work that whole weekend.
while it is true many successful people are hard working, i've found none of them are very happy with their life.
1. why would anyone live in SA, some parts of johannesberg you don't stop at red lights for fear of car jacking, and you certainly don't approach anyone in a car because they have a gun pointed at you through the door.
2. please tell me the tracking devices have remote detonation?
whats your logic there sunshine? we can't 100% stop car thieft so do nothing about it at all? immobilizers make it hellish hard to steal a car compared to one without. it stops the normal method which is smash a window and rip out the ignition wires and cross them.
the vast majority of theifts are punks stealing a car for a joy ride, they aren't bright enough or organised enough to have a laptop on hand to hack the cars electrical systems.
the only cars that might be targeted by professional gangs would be expensive or hard to get cars they can resell, and if you have one of those then you've most likely got state of the art alarms anyway.
uni is a waste to start with, don't continue to folly by repeating a year. recuiters don't even look at your grades, just that you completed the course. your extra activities provide more insight into your skills then your grades.
the problem with this system, is there's no way they could ever feed it enough information, not only that, a machine can't factor in the mood of a country on an issue. sounds like a waste of money to me.

actually if you just compile source with gcc and didn't include any gpl'd modules you'd be ok.
so if i used your code in my project and didn't give you anything for it you'd think that was ok?
they altered the dll's so that they could use some of the funtionality in them. that means they must release their changes for everyone.
"Does Parallels really have to release their source code if no one can conclusively know if or how they have modified Wine source?"
so what your saying is if they hide the violation well enough the can get away with it? no, the code can be reviewed by a 3rd party if needs be.
damages can be defined in many many terms
it's a scandal that this has happened at all.

learn to use your mod points correctly idiots, the above comment was in direct response to the headlined story, therefore not a troll.

dvi is pin compatable with HDMI, just get a dvi - hdmi cable.
does anyone really quebec? it's full of crazy french people. you can't give that shit away
NATO dont' need military force, they just turn off the aid money.
