Worse yet he could get Obamacare and be given end of life councelling.
Yes, it would really suck if my family actually knew what my wishes are if I'm comatose or otherwise incapable of making my wishes known. How horrible.
You've got clippings from a trotskyite newspaper you bought somewhere that say 'it was all a rig-up.'
Pssssttt.... Someone forgot to tell you. You are supposed to call them "Terrorists" now, not "Communists". Now, go back to your black-and-white, Joe McCarthy-loving, Rush Limbaugh-saturated world.
Funny, most historical texts that I've read suggest the real reason that Rome fell was the rampant homosexuality and hedonism.
Then I suggest you read actual history books, rather than the ones put out by Southern Baptist seminaries. Homosexuality and hedonism were common in Rome long before Rome fell. The main causes were (1) vast amounts of wealth in very few hands, (2) constant military aggression, and (3) corruption of various types.
Of course, like you, the Romans wanted to blame something else on their downfall. So, they blamed Christians, much the same way you blame homosexuals, liberals, and anyone else you don't like.
why don't we return to the moon a few times, first?
Because the original Apollo astronauts were warned not to return by the Anunnaki who have their base there. Actually, the Mars explorers will have to dodge Anunnaki weapons fire from the Moon before they can hope to successfully navigate the rest of the way to Mars.
Why else do you think some of our probes crashed into Mars? Do really think it was a "metric-to-english conversion error"? Ha! You have simply been brainwashed by the Illuminati, peon!
Would it be impolite to point out that she has accomplished far more in life than you or I have, or probably ever will? If Sarah Palin is dumb, therefore, there's a significantly greater than zero chance that you and I are even dumber.
Gotten to a higher political position than me? Sure. Accomplished more? Hell no. My research alone, not to mention my other work, far outshines anything she's ever done with her life. Of course, my work isn't going to be on the news.
In fact, most people on slashdot over the age of 30 have accomplished far more than Palin. But, again, it's not dramatic enough to be on the news.
When Yahoo executives grilled by US Congress over giving up private info of email accounts to China, which was linked to two guys jailed for "leaking state secrets."
May be twitter can use that as a defense?
No, you don't understand. *China*, that evil, godless Communist state demanded the info. Now, the Freedom-Loving(TM), God-Fearing(TM) United States of America(TM - held by MAFIAA) wants the info, so everything is a-okay.
When you have power, you don't need profit. Profit is for those who want to advance in the game. You don't need to advance in the game when you own the game and make all the rules to the game.
And that's the user's fault how? That's the price of doing business. If my company made a $400,000 software mistake, we wouldn't get that money back, why should a casino?
Because your company doesn't own the local government and have dirt on all the politicians and judges.
Bring dogs and cats with you. If they kill each other, there are no ghosts. If they start living together, there are ghosts. And then, there will be mass hysteria.
Don't be ego-centric, realize this likely doesn't apply to you, and you will in no way shape or form be effected by this.
Pastor Martin Niemöller would disagree.
And so would just about everyone in the DDR. Dumbasses like GP should really read up on recent history. Of course, it's possible that GP benefits from the rapidly encroaching police state.
What you're really arguing is that creative people should not be compensated for their work. Someone I doubt you would agree you should not be compensated for YOUR income. I honestly can not understand how anyone can come to that concussion. Oddly enough, to date, I've never met anyone willing to give up THEIR income to validate their point of view. Which seems to loudly argue, your position is a lot of hypocritical, loud air.
I'm not going to be compensated for 70 years past my death for something I do today. Why shouldn't artists/recording companies have to accept a more reasonable term for copyright? Having such a ludicrously long copyright term is the reason so many people have no respect for copyright at all. Well, that and the fact that record companies try any and all ways to force people to buy one piece of music *multiple times*, thus guaranteeing even greater profit without requiring any more extra work (you know, that "work" thing that the rest of us "little people" have to keep doing to earn a living).
I would recommend either reading up on Putin's quietly enthusiastic suppression of opposition, close ties with a circle of crony-capitalist plutocrats who did very well in the post-soviet privatization, and vaguely sinister cult of personality.
If you have already done that and still like him; I urgently suggest checking yourself for signs of closet authoritarian nationalism...

Just pointing out that we're really not a whole hell of a lot better right now.
The murder/arrest/expulsion of journalists and news sources who disagree with you? That's a big one for me.
Yes, in the U.S., we simply make sure that no real reporting is ever allowed to happen. Thus, there is no one that needs to be murdered/arrested/expelled. It's more efficient that way.
Or, I could have responded thusly: "Two words: Julian Assange".
This is just more proof that free software is a virus. Communism lives in Russia, and lives in free software. Free is only free to a certain point, eventually you have to pay for it.
Yes, that's why they should use Windows, and thus support the British monarchy. God save King George!
Around here the best you can hope for is a minor slap on the wrist.
A slap on the wrist? A SLAP ON THE WRIST??? We can't go around slapping bankers on the wrist! Capitalism will die, the economy will collapse, and we'll all decline into socialism(*)! Then, the gulags and death camps will open! Stalin will rise from the grave with Hitler and have a coffee klatch! There is no Dana, only Zuul!

Because the publishers felt they didn't need to put "THIS IS NOT AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL" on the front cover of the book.
They're regretting that decision now.
Unfortunately, it is an instruction manual. It was simply leaked by Eric Blair (aka George Orwell).

If you have children that are born on Mars, aren't they, by default, ...
Martians?
But when they grow up, they will try to come to Earth in search of better opportunities. Goddamn illegal aliens!
Men are often fertile until they die so maybe he is hoping for a spot on the breeding team!
How does the old joke go? Women are fertile until they are about 45. Men are fertile until about five minutes after they're dead.

wut no profit????

This might hurt Jenny McCarthy's acting career as much as Jenny McCarthy's acting!
You even notice how the actors who really get into these "issues" are mostly no-talent ass-clowns? I wonder why that is???
This just proves that "science" is a load of bullshit. The creationists are right.
Now, where did I put my leaches. I feel a cold coming on...

In that case, any sane person would insist on ignoring such a request.
Unfortunately, you cannot simply ignore a civil suit. Otherwise, they get a default judgment against you, even if their case is merit-less.

If I ever hear anyone say "I'm hijacking this plane", that'll probably be the last words they ever say.
Considering you are beating him to death with a laptop, his last words would probably be: "I'm hijacking th*&%&^TKJHLIU^D [NO CARRIER]"
Thank you, Fleet Commander Obvious! That was my whole damn point.
Used to be cutting edge
Uh, when the fuck was this? Was it back when the Internet had no trolls and everyone on slashdot wrote thoughtful, well-reasoned commentary?
Gee, TSA wasting tax payer money? Who'da thunk Chertoff's big money maker would be a big money waster for the rest of us "little people"?
