Sorry about the label. I will remember your nick in the future so as not to make the same mistake.
Do you see why I took your post for a troll? No one said that the SCO issue was the equal of the Iraq war. I don't see how you could have gotten the impression that anyone felt SCO=Iraq. Pinchhazard sarcastically compared Iraq to Clinton's bj, and Enron to Clinton's bj.
Now I'm actually curious... if you weren't trolling, what did you mean? Did you misread pinchhazard's comment? Did I misunderstand your straightforward question? I'm not going to go after you, but seriously, what did you mean?
I was going to moderate, but: >>SCO's allegations in the lawsuit are equal to war in Iraq? I'm missing where the former rises to the level of the latter.
Yeah, you're missing something. No one said they were equal. OP said they were both bullshit, then pointed out a secondary relation to Captain Troll, that the example being set at the top of the country (of pulling shit) is observed by those at the top of corporations.
But don't let that get in the way of your trying to make hay for the conservatives, you fringe partisan. Your party needs you to distract and attack, now more than ever. Too bad you failed. A child could see through your ruse.
Parent is troll. Don't bother upping this, I have karma to burn.
you say that you're sure there will be "big bro is after me" comments.Then you say you want to know why they will happen.I don't see any comments that fit that description.
It seems to me that you have generalized a conception of "the liberal response", and want a specific reason why it is that way. But it is not that way.
This does not compute.
If you're curious *in general* why liberals tend to question proposals to increase the power of law enforcement, it's because our country has a history of using law enforcement in illegitimate ways to curb political actions of the left.
"There was only one Christian, and he died on the cross."...2 points for the attribution.
PS: I'd like to know what percent of American christians believe that Jesus was literally a man-god, as opposed to a godly man. Yes, I'm sure there are those out there who would bet their life that an omnipotent sky dweller is responsible for everything, but I doubt it's really a large percentage. Pulled-out-of-my-ass statistic: maybe 25% of american christians (and that's a highball).
Keep in mind that the ones who are the most extreme correspond highly with those who are most vocal.
And before the slashdot conserva-posse comes to lynch me, I do not hate christianity, only lunacy. Frankly, I think the saddest part of christianity today is that there is so much of value which is totally ignored for the benefit of those who wield the devotion of the masses.

Seriously... "We're not number two! There's nothing we can't embrace and extend!" Something's got their panties in a knot... it's the fact that Google is as cool and agile as they used to be, and has the chops to eat their lunch.
I took calculus in HS because Wesley Crusher took it. And I minored in math in college because of the leg up that gave me. Thanks Wil!
On a tangent, I've wondered how I would phrase my thanks to Wil for that, and to Leonard Nimoy, for playing their characters on ST. Spock gave me a much needed role model when I was taking it on the psyche from bullies in grade school. I've considered that might be no symmetry for the emotional value their characters have for me.
To me, Leonard Nimoy represents the real world incarnation of a childhood hero. But Nimoy has moved on and done more with his life than just being that one character.
Wil represents the prodigal child who is smarter than even those who know him realize, a moving archetype. He also has gone on to do more, proving himself not to be a one hit wonder (which traps so many).
I always think of Shatner's "Get a life people" when I consider thanking Nimoy or Wheaton. On balance, I suppose that whatever thanks I offer would seem hollow (esp wrt Nimoy, whose character has so influenced my own personality) in comparison to the impact they've had on me. I mean, in my head the character is a close friend who would never shut me down. But to the actor, it's a role, and in both cases a part of a life that is much richer than that single part, and still ongoing. I imagine I'd get tired of fans who only remember one role, if i felt that my other efforts weren't valued as they should be.
Remember Magink? I'd like to know when I can have a paper monitor. I haven't heard about Magink since that proposed billboard. Their site has lots of billboards, but I think credit card form factor clients and paper monitors would be "neato".
two thoughts.. what if you traveled through the wormhole at high speed - near C - could you make it through before the collapse then?
And the obligatory "what if you made a transported the size of a pea and sent it through, then beamed through?" just thinking around the problem, my ~2 milrays
From the newsmax link: "In [Cigar Aficionado]'s December edition, the former commander of the military's Central Command warned that if terrorists succeeded in using a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) against the U.S. or one of our allies, it would likely have catastrophic consequences for our cherished republican form of government."
Gee, if we're only going count the voices of our soldiers when considering the question of war, maybe we should listen when our top soldiers warn us of impending governmental doom. Or is that too obvious? (PS: articles complement each other)
Since Hawking said that black holes don't actually tear a hole in space time, I don't think ripped is more appropriate than born. Unless I'm misremembering that story, which is possible.

I am impressed and flattered.
I will try to remember you when I crouch for that jump to a conclusion. Thank you.

I think you hit the nail on the head, there. Good disection.

>>Wouldn't you rather fight them on their ground?
He didn't say we shouldn't. He pointed out that going on a rampage would only help our enemy.

I believe that is the quote. Although technically you're not wrong, as pyrite is golden and not gold

If you bothered googling for two seconds, instead of trolling just to be a 'tard, you would know.
I appreciated the division bell quote myself.

that conservatism seems to be waking up, if only slowly, to the problem of the rise of fundamentalism.
