  1. Re:Isn't this always the case? on Bush, Kerry, and Nader Respond to Youth Voter Questions · · Score: 1

    General medical care is so expensive thanks to all the blood-sucking lawers and the frivalous lawsuits aimed at them. So naturally it's going to be expensive thangs to the high medical mal-practice insurance premiums doctors have to pay. Hell, some are even leaving the medical profession because it's so damn risky. And being that Edwards is a trial lawer, do you really trust him? It is of my personal opinion that he is a snake. Kerry may have the right idea for medcare in general, but I don't trust Edwards or any trial lawer.

    Honestly, if we had tort reform I believe most of our ecconomic problems would go away with Tax reform being the first step.

  4. Re:Wait for the 8300HD box and not TW fault... on Cable HDTV Not Ready For Primetime? · · Score: 1

    As someone who works at TWC in Austin, I can tell you that is correct. SA has not enabled the SATA and DVI ports yet. I'm not sure when we will get the new firmware to be pushed, but that only when SA is ready to release it. As for DVI in general, it uses a form of encryption. So I'm only guessing SA has it's hands tied due to legal matters such as copywrite and MPAA shit. I seriously doubt the DVI not being enabled is a technical issue.

    Chinese/Caucasians! Now THOSE are hot, sexy, and cute at the same time. Nothing like those perfect breasts (C size with a nice nipple), black hair, and smile to die for.

    My favorite kind of course. To each his own. ;)

    Could be why the Taliban and Al Qaeda are so vilolent due to their extreme views of Islam. They cover up women, live a life of rage and hate, and have highest rate of spousal abuse. Yet...they all dream of herem vergins when they die.

    Interesting to note, they hate western civilization because they cannot have what they so desire. All of course, in the name of Islam. Talk about a life of confusion. Oppress human nature of sexuality, or go against a lifetime of faith.

    Shanghai is different though. I've known this woman on the Internet for many years now. And over time, I've sent her links to CNN.com and other such sites of news. At first, the DNS records were blocked and I could send her just the IP. But now, it looks like most of the sites are explicitly blocked. Luckly though, we can still use IM to chat. The only way to cut the chinese off is for the CCP to totally isolate themselves from the rest of the world in terms of Internet access. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised if China just becomes the worlds largets InTRAnet rather the InTERnet.

    So if it's not part of the government, then the citizens should have no problem in simply not paying the fee. If not paying would be illigal, than I cry government intervention.

    Dell knows of the DOA (Dead On Arival) and problems with their product reliability. They are in the business to make money quickly, quality reputation be damned.

    As someone who worked at Dell, this does not suprise me. I've seen alot of AC Adapters shipped with the wrong laptop. Just flipped the laptop over and compare the power requirements, it's rather shocking that your AC Adapter is over worked.

    Also, they ones made by Delta Electronics are utter shit. But hey, that's what Dell get's from buying shit quality from the lowest contract bidder.

    Your so blind with rage and hatred is has become a poison to you. At least I'm being realistic regardless of the fact I'm cold blooded. If you want to wait around and see if he strikes first, then be my guest. At least I will still be around to procreate thanks to my inherent intellect of survival. And politics mean nothing to mean at the end of the day. What matters is the Law of nature.

    If someone wishes to point a gun at me, you had better well fucking pull the trigger. If not, YOU WILL DIE! This is binary to me. Black/white, Yes/No. If a nation ever threatens my life, than fuck'em. Seriously, FUCK THEM!! I don't give a god damn rats-ass bleeding-heart. I WILL SURVIVE! ...are you feeling angry, maybe even a little sad? Where here is a clue for ya. Why do you even think you are even alive and intelligent? Hint: your ancestors had to have been very cautious and vigilant to maintain your bloodline. And even when you don't think so, your actions may cause an effect at someone else's expense.

    Humanity; love it or hate it. We are who we are. Do not deny your lineage...for your very survival may depend upon it.

    On a lighter note, I'm optimistic about humanity. But don't ever be blind to the fact we have strings attached to our behavior (some would say we are just the total sum of our genetics, and thus freewill is just an illusion. Not me however).
