Next time your driving on the road, count how many of your fellow citizens are driving alone (and in rush hour) in a big fat over bloated land-yacht. Also known as an SUV.
Fact is, you can't put the blame on just the politicians. I wish it was that simple, but it's not.
Note: I'm not against SUVs. I'm just pissed off at the fact people drive them for status and NOT for utilitarian reasons (which makes up the U in SUV)
Including Humans. Just like effects of war, survival through adaptation is a route taken through innovation. In a sick and twisted way, perhaps a mass extinction will be *good* for the human race. Perhaps now we will be forced to live beyond this planet and colonize new ones.
Unless the laws of physics keep us damned to hell for ever till our Sun burns out.
If a Gay gene is found, then you can bet your political votes that Gays around the world will turn Pro-Life in a heart beat. Question is, will the christians except the gay community for the greater cause to preserve life? Second, how will the fiminist movement react being that they are pro-choice yet are also made up of lesbians.
You quoted me, yet you still do not understand that quote.
The infrastructure that makes up the Internet was bootstrapped by our government for military means. But the intention was never intended to be the platform for consumer user so that you and I may post on Slashdot, download files, check e-mail, VOIP, gaming..etc.
If you really want to thank someone for the world wide web, thank the universities.
So, where is government in your list? BTW, if it were not for government inventing the internet you would be using compuserve or some other equally distasteful genre to be communicating your thoughts.
The government did not "invent" the internet as we know it. The network that makes up the Internet was originally designed for military communication redundancy. However, once academia got access to it, they used it as a meathod of sharing information. And the rest as they say...is history.
Huh? If private business wants to put a product out there let them use a different channel. Duh, it ain't that difficult.
Big Brother no longer controls the Internet due to the fact all major backbones are in the hands of private industry (as it should be). Also, not everyone wants or finds a need for access to the Internet. So if you make a demand for Big Brother to provide you access, then you WILL be taxed for it along with everyone else that may not wish to use it.
You see, that's where your WRONG! Today, Islam has no tolerance of others practice of faith. In fact, it goes so far to kill the "infidels". Clearly you are either an idiot, retarded, or too fucking stubborn to see most of the religious violence around the world (called planet Earth) comes from those that warship Alah.
Of course, that's not to say Christianity didn't have it's dark times...because it did. According to history, it was called the Crusades. But today, it's more of a war against the Islamic Jihad then just "Terrorism".
Stop being so damn politically correct about it. It's a fucking holy war they are waging on western civilization. So call it for what it is.
That Ford is too old to be doing this. Unless he can still act the part and look the part with makeup and CGI, I don't see how he can be Indi anymore. 10 year ago...maybe, but not now.
For example, your not going to stop the hunger in N. Korea when Kim will explicitly reroute the imporation of the food to his army and away from the civilians. Same goes for regions of Africa as well.
I suppose you could call it a Crusade from a distance. But I don't people in America chanting for the death of innocent muslims. Though some dhave died in war, targeting them directly is never our intention.
As for those islamic wackos, they want every American dead as we are sinfull and imoral in the eyes of Alah. Thus, we deserve to die and Alah will grant virgins to those that sacrifice themselves for the cause.
Point is, as over zelous that Christians are, they want to PRESERVE life. (anti-abortion, banning stemcell research...etc). However, Islam is a religion of death to those that do not beleave!
Congress approves another 50 billion to enforce copyright in the name of "War on Terror".
Ya ya, I'm joking. But WHAT THE FUCK!!?? ?The War on Terror" is supposed to be just that; Fighting Islamic extremist who wish to do America harm. But noooo, those inside the beltway of Washington DC are using this as an excuse to fleece the population with some notion of security in order to hold on to power.
Yes, I voted for Bush because I trust the Republican party with national security more then the "other" party. But fact is, all those maggots in washington do nothing but fight among eachother in senate in order to maintain power at the expensive of those to voted them to such positions in the first place.
Arrrghhhhhh. I sware. Fuck em, my face it going to explode I'm so pissed!!!
Hell, Intel would spin it in such a way that sheeple would be asking their local salesman "Does it have DRM? I want that because it will make my music sound better".
Neo-con? WTF?!!! I can't stand religious zelots, and I hate pinko commies. In fact, I only want the government to do one thing and that's provide national security. Everything should be free market.
I would much rather pay a company than the government. At least I have the option to invest in that company if I have the desire. I really don't understand why so many people put so much faith in the Government.
Because this is slashdot. A place were people put faith in their government due to some twisted logic that they are elite and highly educated. Thus, government is always the best choice above and beyond the public sector.
Fact is, it's this kind of illogical reasoning that starts a country towards an oppressive path. Any why not? It's best to let them just vote themeselves out of the aspect of burden releaf.
I agree with you, in fact, that's what I've been saying all along (and getting modded down for it).
Socialism takes place at the local level free from government intervention at it's purist form. Communism on the other hand, it socialism imposed on the people by government. As such, regardless of what work you in a communist country, the government regulates the market out of the aspect "equality". And because everyone gets the same quality of life, there is no incentitive to work harder if the fruits of your labor go unrewarded. At this point, it becomes a downward spiral to corruption and poverty...hence my sig.

Funded by tuition, fees, private gifts, corporate contributions and endowments. And of course, a very small amount from government grants.

With Government, you can only elect your officials once every few years.
With corporations, you vote with every penny you spend. Which happens to be every day for me.
Guess what option give more power to the people?
So, where is government in your list? BTW, if it were not for government inventing the internet you would be using compuserve or some other equally distasteful genre to be communicating your thoughts.

What? You can't? Ahhh, that explains the AC post.
In the first version, I barfed all over the floor when I was a kid. I hope he doesn't hold a grudge about it still.
That Ford is too old to be doing this. Unless he can still act the part and look the part with makeup and CGI, I don't see how he can be Indi anymore. 10 year ago...maybe, but not now.
Heh, that flask has enough to run my leaf blower for a few minutes. Oh well, you gotta start somewhere :P
WTF? 11% invested in SCO? Is this even up to date. I had a feeling Microsoft/Bill might be behind this company to be used as a proxy against OSS
When the issues are political...

On the basis that the Republicans and Democrats have two different philosohies on national defense.
Republicans = Invest tax dollars into machines of war and intelligence agencies for the sole purpose of national security both at home and abroad.
Democrats = Endless deplomicy, militery funding cuts/reduction, and appeasement to those that would not mind doing us harm.
For the most part, this sums up how the two parties handle national security. You can't argue the facts any other way.
