you little son of a bitch, Santa is coming TONIGHT and hes gonna take ALL your presents back, and hes not gonna give YOU anything except a cup of DIRT! but your BROTHER -- who didnt peek -- he'll get ALL his presents while you sit there with NOTHING!
if that happens, my adult-friend-finder ads are going to be rendered worthless.

They don't need to fact-check every single item do they? or is that what you want? to just have/. editorial staff research all stories, and post only their comments so we can know what to think, and then no one else will have to do any dirty work??
Damn, but really, get the f--k over it! thats what this comment system is for. you get the best results of hundreds of knowledgeable people simultanously checking and commenting on every story.
I've actually learned some good stuff from the reader comments on the "bogus stories", like the battery-rocks and RNG-future-predictor.
it's these false stories (scams, etc.) where some of the brightest readers come out to debunk the stuff that fools many ordinary people.
Yeah, so maybe theres a forum (ZP) laughing at us, but at least we get the benefit of insightful research and fact checking unlike the vast majority of them out there.
I heard he was practicing his negotiation skills as the cops approached:
"I want more money. I want a Miata. I want a trip to Disney World. I want X-Man comic [book] number one. I want a lifetime subscription to Playboy, and throw in Penthouse. Show me the money! Show me the money!"
The US doesn't have much structure for "continuing education."
i disagree. its called 'self-study'. try your local library.
Better yet, go to your nearest 4-year university, and inquire about a "Friends of the Library" or similar program whereby you can gain borrowing priveledges.
realizing that you dont know as much as you once thought you did is a good thing, but now you gotta go do something about it.
or... i suppose you could just go to sunday school and church every week, and call it even. thats what my folks do, and they seem happy:/
You'll notice in your example the principal exercised prior restraint in a publication he controls the funding for in a venue he controls the discipline for.
you're totally missing the point.
for one thing the principal does not control funding, the elected members of the school board, as agents of the electoral public ( ~= taxpayers), do. the principal is acting on his/her (possibly arbitrary) judgment as an autocrat.
but besides that minor detail, the issue is that high school kids don't understand First Amendment rights, and it's because their schools either all but ignore them, or (in this and other situations) actively suppress them.
yeah, youre gonna say, "minors in high school don't have constitutional rights, its not a democracy" and blah blah blah.
while that may be true to some extent, it's not entirely so, and comes back to the real issue: kids in high school are not taught to critically examine, research and argue issues, but merely to "sit down, shut up, memorize this, parrot that, walk the line, and be on time."
with that kind of enviroment and anti-intellectual mentality of the faculty and administration, why should we expect any of our high school kids to understand what the First Amendment guarantees.
what was really interesting to me, was how they characatured (sp?) the "new friend" who wanted Kim to download free music with him.
-- they never showed his full face. it was always an extreme closeup of just the lower half of his face: the nose mouth and chin. like some kind of James Bond Dr. Evil thing or something.
-- he was ugly: he had a prominent gap between his front teeth, and overly large lips and nose.
-- he spoke in an ominous voice: sort of deep, with a hissing-like sound, and a monotonic, hypnotic quality.
-- he used phrases like "I can show you a world you've never seen. Where everything is free, and you can have anything you want. Come with me, Kim."
Kim finally got rid of him by saying "I know the difference between right and wrong, and you're wrong for me. Goodbye."
now, if only Eve would have rebuffed the Serpent with such resolve, all the Wimmin-folk wouldn't have had such a hard time throughout history.

wtfpwnt
you dont have to use Comcast. you dont have to use broadband.
theres about a million AOL CD-Roms being used as drink coasters. and if you have any ability at all, there are other options as well.
who the hell modded this a troll?
/. needs to permanently revoke mod priveleges from some of you fuckers.
this is one of the most insightful comments ive read about this issue yet.
seriously,
when they charge $30-something a month?
its just another Cmdr Taco joke.
All they have to do is sign up using a fake name and/or birthdate.
This is so obviously a sleazy political move to gain an advantage on their competition.
I can't believe how completely clueless various government officials are about anything regarding the internet.
if that happens, my adult-friend-finder ads are going to be rendered worthless.

Goooo Kim!
yeah, lemme post a link for you. I have torrents of all the Disn
...Kim Possible
Last night's episode on The Disney Channel, showed how our hero Kim resisted peer pressure to download music without paying for it.
Kim told her new friend that she "wasn't afraid, she just knew the difference between right and wrong".
Way to go Disney! Being pro-active and teaching our children to repect the RIAA.
it is NOT "insightful" to say that "news sites are forbidden" in China.
its just plain false.
and stupid.
