You don't need to read the contract to know the charges. All you have to do is read the brochures and ask a few questions.
HA!HA!HA!HA! If you really believe that, you are going to get so screwed over some day! It doesn't matter what the brochures say or how the reps answer your questions (the answers of which are readily denied later). All that matters are the specifically set forth terms in your contract. Now, go stick your head back in your Ostrich hole and don't complain when corporate lawyers fuck you in the ass like a prison bitch. That's all people like you are. Pathetic wankers who think they sound big talking like you do when they regularly get fucked over. Or, perhaps you are a stupid sixteen year-old boy who hasn't had to deal with the real world yet and has read too much Ayn Rand and Robert Heinlein.
This attitude is why your American health care sucks, why your American school system sucks, why your American news media sucks, etc. etc. You have no sense of community, of sharing the burdens of life.
[redneck American voice] "sense of community"? "sharing the burdens of life"? You sound like one 'o them thar' Godless Commernists! We don't want your kind around here! Gawd told us to invade I-Rak and Gawd's a-tellin' me ta shoot ya with my second amendment shawtgun. [/redneck American voice]
Just sit in the Pentagon parking lot with a wardriving kit and you will have no problem getting in.
Ha, ha! Silly boy. You've obviously never been to the Pentagon. If you try this, within a few minutes a very nice gentleman with a very large automatic weapon will politely ask you what you are doing. And you had better be able to satisfactorily explain yourself.
We know that BSE is out of control in American herds, and that's besides the fact that the food is pumped full of growth hormones to such extents that young girls eating it develop breasts at very young ages.
Ah yes. More disease, death and destruction brought to you by our good friends at Monsanto. When the Four Horsemen get riding, they will have the Monsanto corporate logo on their flags.
Or, to modify Bill Hicks a little: "By the way, if there is anyone here who works for Monsanto - kill yourselves. There is no excuse for what you do. You are fucked and you are fucking us. Kill yourselves."
Perhaps we could convince spammers that being one of the top ten is a bad idea!
Of course, if the top ten are killed, then #'s 11-20 become the top ten. And when they are dead, what would now be #'s 21-30 would be the top ten who are now marked for death.
Hmmm... Maybe you're really on to something here:-p
I hope to shoot myself if ever I become so self-obsessed. Get a life now, before you die.
It's not about self-obsession. It's about not wanting to burden those you leave behind. Kind of like with leaving a will, it's better to have everything worked out in advance so you don't make so much trouble for your loved ones after you are dead.
But JFK had a plan, Oboma has a "vision". Talk is cheap.
You mean JFK had all the engineering worked out for the Apollo program? Wow, it's too bad he was assassinated. We could have had space stations near Alpha Centauri by now!
It's always so hilarious to see an american call any of their own politicians socialist. Even your liberal parties are too conservative for most of the world's perspective.
Yes, I could never understand that. Even Dennis Kucinich, who is probably the most "liberal" Congressman (it's *not* Obama you dittohead dumbasses), only wants a single-payer health system. He isn't asking for socialized medicine. To you right-wingers who think there is no difference, try to learn about the difference between, say, the health care systems in the UK and in Sweden. But then you might have to learn about some place other than the U.S., and I know how scary that is for you.
Frankly, with the boomers all moving to old-people welfare in the next decade, we need an influx of warm bodies to help pay for them. Immigration, extra babies, whatever.
Or, we could build a bunch of trebuchets and launch the baby boomers to their deaths. As an added bonus, we could hook them up to electrical generators to help with our power needs. It would also help solve the obesity problem in the States since a lot of young people would need to load the baby boomer into the trebuchet, set it, and launch it.
I don't know. Perhaps I'm just too annoyed, but the Baby Boomers got all the benefits of free childhood education (before it turned to the shit that is the public education system today), low college tuition, and now social security benefits and they are perfectly happy to let it all fall to shit for the rest of us. Most of them didn't even bother raising their kids, but were happy to create "latch key kids" as they were called in the 70's and 80's. And, to top it all off, even though they received inheritances from their parents, they are leaving nothing to their children. Even their houses will be owned by investors who have given them reverse mortgages. And don't even get me started on how they have fucked up the housing market.
Baby Boomers launched from trebuchets. The wave of the future.
Of course this country will never run out of money. If the government needs more money, they'll just print it.
True, but the more that is printed, the less each dollar is worth. An extreme example of this is the Weimar Republic in Germany, and we all know how well that worked out...
Copyright is 'eurocentric' because europeans invented the printing press, which started copyright laws. No other society in history could produce works w/o a scribe.
Actually, the Chinese and Koreans invented their own versions of the printing press long before Gutenberg. And they still don't give a rat's ass about copyright laws. Europeans invented copyright laws, not mass book copying.
how they put a secret chemical into every keyboard to make you addicted to the internet
Darl: Mandrake, do you realize that flouridation of keyboards is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Linux plot that we have yet to face?... I cannot sit back and allow Linux infiltration, Linux indoctrination, Linux subversion, and the international Linux conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
there's also the very realistic possibility of a sane, legislated, bloodless (sorry all you mad-max wanna-bes) secession.
Now, if we can just get the South to secede again. A lot of our problems would be solved if they would all leave the U.S. and wallow in their own redneck, fundie, sister-banging idiocy. (* to any angry rednecks on/. - I grew up in the South, so I can insult it if I damn well please.)
It would be nice to move to a country consisting of Washington and Oregon (California would likely be its own country) or to the Northeast as its own country, where "The South" would be Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. Oh well, I can dream...
Right-wing radio makes money, though. Left-wing radio doesn't. (Air America hasn't turned a profit since day one.)
I think that has more to do with the fact that they tried to be a left-wing version of the right-wing shows instead of doing their own thing. I listened to it a little bit, and I thought it sucked donkey balls because they were simply doing the same kind of inane ranting that I can't stand about right-wing radio. Basically, they were targeting the liberal demographic with a style of radio that appeals to right-wingers.
How do we know there aren't secret terrorist plans in files named mileycyrus.mp3?
It would have to contain terrorist plans--it's certain no one wants it for the singing!
Actually, her father (Billy Ray Cyrus) had the original terrorist plan. "Achy Breaky Heart" was meant to be distributed throughout the whole U.S. and sap our will to live, thus allowing the Confederate Hordes to finally rise again. Fortunately, Weird Al Yankovich warned us all ahead of time. Although it is still not as bad as the near organ failure I experienced being stuck at a hotel in Bali (inner courtyard style, not typical boxed style) with the most tone deaf singer in all of Asia singing "Achy Breaky Heart" while a bunch of drunken Australians egged him on to that and other musical atrocities.
just respect the Terms of Service and you will be fine. If you don't like the conditions, just don't use the service.
What's next? "Don't want to get executed, then don't steal that candy bar!" "Don't want to be anally and/or vaginally probed by TSA perverts? Use a form of transportation other than flying!"
Let me explain it simply to you, redneck boy, though you probably still won't get it. Some situations, laws, and so on are simply unconscionable in and of themselves. Five years in prison and a felony conviction for violating a website's Terms of Service is insane and absurd. Any drooling idiot can figure out what you have just blathered, namely Action A results in Consequence B. The question is, why is the situation such as it is and is that situation reasonable?
Well, anyway, that's enough time wasted banging my head into a brick wall.
They are going to use taxpayer dollars for this? If I lived in NC *I* would be the one shouting 'WTF?' for real!
If you lived in NC, you would say much more vulgar things than WTF. The whole state is corrupt. They tax you out the ass and don't give you jack shit for it. On top of that, most of the people in NC (except for some in the Raliegh-Durham-Chapel Hill area) are total redneck dumbasses who should not be allowed to breed. If you've ever read "The Marching Morons" or seen Idiocracy, you have seen a good description of North Carolina.
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Kurt Vonnegut is a good story to read about the effects of immortality on life on this planet. I guess if we have some form of anti-gerasone, combined with the admonition of the Georgia Guidestones, we should wipe out a little over 6 billion people and let 500 million people live forever, thus halting human evolution completely so all of us can be wiped out eventually.
Since you say you have been there, I have a question. Why are soldiers now being referred to as "warfighters"? Is it to have a catch-all phrase that refers to both U.S. soldiers and the mercenaries the U.S. is also using? Or, is it something else?
What this REALLY means is that *ALL Data* will be collected, but PRESENTLY only data for more than $10k or 200 "items" will 'count' (they can and probably will easily pass some bill amendment to remove this threshold).
Or, with the falling dollar, they could do nothing since the $10k threshold is not adjusted for inflation. Once the US dollar gets to be on the level of the Indonesian Rupiah (was Rp10000/$1 a couple of years ago, now down to about Rp9000/$1), the Feds will know if we buy anything more expensive than a candy bar.

When you have a two year-old on the list, it makes it more stupid.
Um, I think perhaps you should read up some on childhood development, particularly about personality development and maturity.
You mean JFK had all the engineering worked out for the Apollo program? Wow, it's too bad he was assassinated. We could have had space stations near Alpha Centauri by now!
