    i think that filtering software would cost more to install then not having it. B/c now you're paying for the bandwidth and the software. Now you're just paying for the bandwidth. Besides very little money in this country goes to education.

    Requiring uniforms is a ban of freedom of expression, which is part of what is protected in the 1st amendment. You for the most part enter the army of your own free will. Plus then your enemies know who to shoot :) Seriously tho, thats the point of uniforms in teh army, to make you part of a conforming collective that does not make its own decisions. BTW, this is NOT a bash on the army; it is just stating how the army must be in order to function effectivly.

    Why should i pay for the roads you travel on? Listen to Mr. Webster censorship - restriction on ideas prior to, or prosecution following, thier publication

    Now tell me, what does blocking internet sites do? Does this proposal block ideas? Songs are certainly ideas, porn is too, remember when stuff like playboy was found protected under the Constitution? Now, according to the Bill of Rights, who DEFINATLY is not allowed to censor? Thats right, gov't. The reason you pay for education and college bandwidths is the same reason you pay for roads. We are all part of a society, and in order for a society to function it must work together. Get it? Good.

    I can vote and enter into LEGAL contracts at 18. That defines being an adult (legally anyway). why are the drinking ages higher? I dunno, why do we even have them at all? I'd also like to know why you think Muslim laws are backwards? Perhaps because you are ignorant?

    Well said. You know what, i get NO money from the gov't. in reality, the gov't is making money off of me via the LOANS they have given me. Granted, the intrest rate is low, but its not free money, and i have to pay back more then i borrowed. The only free money i get comes from my school because of academic status. don't worry its not even a state funded school, not that schools really need any funding...they have students, and many ways of raping and selling their students to the varios companies in the neighbooring town.

    You know what, lets ditch the army, the building of roads, other infrastructor, national parks. All roads should be made toll roads. Why should i pay for your free ride on the road my tax dollars built? You pay for it all. Actually, no, leave the country, since you don't seem to believe in the first amendment. Which is free speech. Which also implies that you have the right to listen to it. Free speech is no good if you're n ot allowed to listen! Try reading the Bill of Rights. It doesn't allow for restricted speech, it doesn't say whoever pays gets to control speech, it says we all have it, period.

    Actually, it does. A sole-propiorship (forgive my spelling) or parnership does "exist." that is, if the comapny were to go belly up, the owners of the company would be liable to pay the bills, even being forced to sell their house. Obviously this is a strong reason to incorporate.
