I like guns, but I could never use one on a living thing unless in self-defense. I hate killing, but guns can be safe and fun if used with care.
And I was allowed to watch all sorts of horror movies when I was little. My parents were around to teach me morality. Before you declare violent games and movies verboten, remember that forbidden fruit is the most tempting.
I wonder if any media companies, with the exception of movie companies will exist in 10-15 years. People will always want to see movies in the theatre, but when there's enough bandwidth to make p2p like Freenet useable, they'll be totally finished. I certainly won't weep.
It's certainly not the black and white case it's made out to be, but I think she was a bit more than 20% at fault. Maybe 30 or 40.
And damn, that's some hot coffee they've got.
I disagree. We learned a hell of a lot from space research. Satellite tv, physics, Tang, etc. And we're learning more all the time. The Indians just want to look good by putting someone on the moon. The Indians need to concentrate on building a viable civil society before they try and put a man on the moon.
Don't fall into the trap! The CIA is going to introduce those to track your movements! That's why I only use barter. I just traded three roosters and a blind cow for a new hard drive.
If you were to put the US at its most free, and set that as benchmark 100, and the RPC and it's least free, set that as 0. Then you could say that the US is at least a 95 and the RPC is a 10. We still have protection from arbitrary arrest, freedom to denounce the government, visit redlobster.com, etc.
Oh, and my government, unlike many in Europe, doesn't require me to print, at my own cost, a response to a statement I have made. And it's nearly impossible for me to be succesfully sued for libel. The corporations may have a bit too much power in the US ATM, but the McLibel fiasco could not have happened here because of our brilliant libel laws.
And if you think Russia has a free media, think again. Their constitution may guarantee it, but Putin does not have any respect for that document. Free media in Russia is being stamped out at a frightening pace. And a free media is a necessary component of real democracy.

I wasn't going to give them information, but I was going to give them a mailbox full of dog poop.
So archery and javelin shouldn't be sports?

Galileo, Galileo, will you do the fandango?

That's because they were slaughtering themselves at the edge of the sea of tranquity! I triple-guarentee it!

Yes, but Conan is promising everyone in California a fantastic job!
Just curious, not trolling, but did you know that the "using my legs like a sucker" comment was a reference to a Simpsons episode?

I can't tell if you're joking. Are you worried more about the poor children or your laptop being assembled by easily distracted workers?

I think he was joking. He said 'reselected'. Subtle, but pithy nonetheless.
Well, I thought that was rather funny.
I think it'd be more like the Ford Motor Company trying to control the type of air you put on your car.
Time to put the Microsoft rep through the Vendor Challenge!
Dilbert: Your competitor completed the "Vendor Challenge Course" in 37 seconds.
Wally: And he gave us very nice t-shirts.
A perfectly cromulent conclusion.
Mr. Oppenheim, Are you now, or have you ever been, a cockgoblin?
