Why doesn't the green party run for more and more competitevely for senate/house seats?
It would seem to be more prudent to try to build the party up before running for president. Once people are better acquianted with the party and what it stands for and how it gets the job done, then maybe you'll have a better shot at the presidency.
Right now, however, the few % points the green party gets seems to be more of a political statement than any actual attempt at change. Just a bigger soapbox.
George Bush is the stupidest human being I have ever seen. Even the crack addicts who beg for money downtown seem to have better sense than this moron.
As far as science, he has done everything in his power to fight against it. Especially the environment; check out bushgreenwatch if you don't believe me. My favorite things he does is to rewrite environmental reports, giving the opposite conclusion on pollution in the environment - the latest is that mercury pollution is GOOD for you.
How can anybody in the know vote for this guy? He should be sent to jail just for all the crimes he has committed against humanity.

Yea, actually, a lot of the time the virus writers DO email them to the different antivirus companies. Having your virus added to the weekly virus definition files is part of their bragging rights.
Do you really think there are 55,000 viruses in the wild?
Yea yea, I worked for symantec for a couple of years.
As a libertarian, I am strongly against any governmental intervention - we need to keep them out of the private sectors!
This project is a response to all of the extreme amounts of legislation and laws that dictate what the telco/isp's can do. They really need to eliminate all of the regulations involved and allow a complete free-for-all competition for communications - that will give people ("consumers") the best choices and the best prices.
On the flip side of things, I think it is wrong for a governmental entity to intervene in the market and try to compete against business - we all know how inefficient government is, and does not provide any benefit to its community. In fact, I would go so far as to say it is detrimental to the development of proper telecommunications/ISP businesses in its community!
It is unfortunate that the citizens of these communities had to resort to this to try to get good internet access. Just goes to show how corrupt the entire system is.
Really?! Ban IMing! Wow...that...that would be a dream come true! Finally, no more inane AOL chatting commercials! No more idjit teenagers spending their lives chained to their computer, typing all night long...
I can't wait! Sign me up for the IM DEATH Enforcmenet squad, alright? I always wanted to goose-step down the road looking for "over-used keyboards."
Aaah, get over it. Watching movies like Armageddon may be more expensive than the space program, but it sure beats sitting in a tin can in space, inches from certain death.
I'd rather just sit on my sofa watching TV, seeing pretend tin cans go up in space and surf for porn. I'm too afraid of hurting myself, and the thought of actually ACCOMPLISHING anything besides surfing slashdot while I'm at work makes me sick to my stomach.
Go mediocrity! Let the Chinese or Indians go risk their lives and die for fame - we americns already did our duty.
aah, but you forgot - the people who will die because of global warming will be those living in poorer nations.
Thus, if someone in Africa dies who is making $1/day, then it only costs $365 to lose them.
Thus, even if 1 million people die - its only $365 million worth, less than what the State of Oregon spends on road construction each year.
The richer nations can put together contingency plans to help offset those problems, but if they lose people - I believe the new number GWBush introduced for risk management for people is around $400,000 per US citizen (down from $4 million before)
First off - the term "third world" didn't come around until the Cold War, to denote countries that were not "First World" (the US & its capitalist allies) or "Second World" (the Soviet Bloc). Back in the 1700's, the "state" as an entity we recognize today was still in its infancy!
In addition, the notion that "The US did not receive any aid" is complete BS. The US received military help from France during the Revolutionary War - in the form of a very large Navy that sent the Brits scrambling from our shores. As for hunanitarian aid - well, that hadn't been invented yet. Most of Europeans were still living as peasants, slopping mud in pig troughs and dying of plagues.
Yea, I miss those good 'ol days of 50-year average lifespans, no hot water, and mass starvation, too.
"Perhaps blind people should stop letting their genetically predisposed problem be a problem. It's their choice to be blind right?"
Let me correct the previous poster with a better example. Since we are talking about:
"However, we are not bound to act out of them" - [desires and urges].
Maybe we should talk about the root of it all - decision-making, desire and love. Maybe we should just consciously decide to outlaw these - oops! That's a decision. Deciding you want to fuck a M vs. a F is nothing more than a choice. Based on desire, of course, but that is completely a human URGE, which is based on genetics and experience.
So let's throw them all out, shoot up on drugs and watch the boob TOOB all day long.
Or does your religion also look down upon laziness and gluttony, the most prominent american characteristics of this new century??
Slashdot Mirror
Like how the religious right is trying to amend the Oregon constitution (and other states') to outlaw gay marriage.
They just *love* to take our rights away according to what they *think* read in the bible.
Who said that is a stupid response? I believe it was concise and to the point.
I was just up at the top a couple of weeks ago.
Nice view, I might add. Too bad I don't have any of the pics online...
Oh yea, it took me 6 hours to get to the top from the trailhead.

"If lightning DID hit the ribbon, it would probably break. But don't worry, we have pretty good safety and recovery plans."
Is this the same plans as their "secret" security?
You haven't seen Akira yet. Or Cowboy Bebop.
Independents try to sign YOU up to vote!
Oh, wait...but its true! Damn canvasers; can't walk 10 feet without being harassed.

Dude, I already bought my tickets to Europe. Maybe I'll be able to marry a nice European chick when I get there.
=)
here's hoping!

You insensitive clod!
I'll...uh...challenge you to a game of chess for such an insult!

And in this age of specialization, you really think that still holds true after 225 years?
Tell me this - did they have managers before the industrial revolution? Yet we take them for granted now - in every business.

hey no more Space Ghost.
We'll still have Britney Spears! We'll just pull her out of cryogenic storage and RULE THE WORLD!

Boy, I bet SOMEBODY feels stupid now.

I should know...I just went to see them a couple weekends ago in Portland. But they also have a book out - check out Powells.com
That would be *really* fun to read about.
=D
I just sent a few emails to our COO & CAO's to buy these as new expansion PCs.
