It has nothing to do with whether you're doing anything wrong. It's your privacy at stake. Lets say you're in the bathroom taking a shower. A group of people walks in to watch. You're not doing anything wrong - why should it matter to you?
Because it's your private life and you are entitled to your own privacy.
Pshh, whatever. Maybe we just want to setup a dev site on our home computer before we put it up live? Why should we even NEED to go through every goddam setting that IIS may or may not have? Why buy a book? Just install it, php and mysql and you're set. In a situation like this, why in hell would you spend the better part of a week reading a book for something so non-productive? Are you really going to get anything out of a book on IIS whenever you don't plan on ever using it extensively? If it works for your purposes, why buy the book? Why waste the time reading it?
Sometimes you don't need to know how something works to use it. Do you know how a fridge works? Air conditioner? Car? Hair gel? Toothpaste? Toilet? Are you honestly saying that you know every single nuance about everything you've ever - in your entire life - used?
If he was one of the "brightest", why would he kill himself? Wouldn't it make more sense to start an international corporation and plot to take over the world?
This wouldn't be an illegal act. If you honestly think that gassing people and killing them is the same as video taping someone then you have some serious issues, sir.
And if recording people is illegal, then why the hell don't all those people who get shafted on Jerry Springer sue him for video taping them, eh?
Quite simply put: there are a few things you have to do to get on that plane. If you don't like them, find another one. No one is twisting your arm to go to them. Contrary to dumb-ass parent's belief, video taping someone with their consent is NOT illegal.
Actually they can, provided you were well informed in advance. As he said earlier: don't like it? Get another service. No one is forcing you to choose them.
This won't happen for quite a while - at least until people do upgrade to the new browser.
We're still struggling to let them allow us to code for anything other than Netscape 4.7. Do you have any idea how fucking insane that is? By time they let us drop that requirement it'll be 2007 and IE 6.x will STILL have another 7 years left in it before we move forward AGAIN.
If I thought all Americans thought like you, my opinion of America would be greatly diminished. Fortunately, I know they don't (and it isn't).
You'd be surprised at how many of the people are like him.
I find it very humorous that people claim to be "Americans", to believe in a little thing called The Constitution, yet they always fall back on the "If you don't like it, leave" argument.
Newsflash: The people you're dismissing as unpatriotic are more patriotic than you'll ever be. If they feel the President is institution fascism in America, fine. That's their opinion. And if it offends your tender feelings, tough. The moment you start clamoring for them to shut up or remove themselves from the country so as to spare your delicate emotions is the moment you renounce your "ideals" as an "American".

The ends never justify the means. Ever. I'm going to take a guess and say you failed moral philosophy. Miserably.

Actually, not tough. It has nothing to do with me telling people to shut up - or even leave. It has to do with them being fucking idiots.
