A quick google shows that this happens all the time, whenever someone wins a large number its always blaimed on a bug, and for some magical reason the winners do not get paid.
It has nothing to do with conservatives... or liberals, or progressives.. or libertarians or Jesus nuts etc.
We simply need to find people that understand the bill of rights, the constitution and willr represent America's interests first, before multinational corporations.
Taxing the citizen even more, when there are already no jobs etc... is just stupid.
The individual citizen should not be milked like a tit for the wealthy elite's mistakes.
Tax dollars should go to help all of us, IE: health care, education and military. Not to things like fund private business's who failed to see a change coming in their industry before it was too late.
The news situation is an interesting one. Why should tax dollars be used to prop up companies who simply report on where Lindsey Lohan his throwing up next?
Most journalistic integrity is gone. Most people have very little interest in real journalism, because most media outlets only serve up fast food bullshit.
The News, used to run just fine in this country. The problem is the giant corporations that owned them, did not look to them to make massive amounts of profit. They funded them out of the importance to society. They of course made commercial money of them, but they did not squeeze their newsrooms until they were skeleton crews of interns doing whatever the "editor" told them.
The news is dying, not because there isnt a need for news and information.... but because there is too many outlets, doing the same exact "cut corner" thing, all aimed at saying the same thing before the competition.
They're is no diversity in their reporting.
Its like having 500 different companies all selling the same wannabe McDonalds food.
People dont give a shit where it comes from, because all 500 different outlets all provide a clone of the "Big Mac".
The few news outlets that do real reporting... and fuck are they few.... are respected.. but they're not the ones leading the industry... and they're the ones dying out.
Should they be propped up? Perhaps... but I'm not really for it. What needs to happen is those 500 different companies selling "Cloned Mcdonalds" news.... need to start putting out quality again so that they can differentiate themselves from their competitors, thus growing their market of viewers.
People will go where the better news is... the problem is so few care to really work and produce it. It costs money, and its simply quicker and easier to sell the people Lindsey Lohan puke stories... then it is do something hard.
I dont want my tax dollars going to those kinds of news outlets.
How about the recent story about the police saying that their patrol car tape was erased, and a citizen managing to prove that they were hiding it from him.
Why should the police be allowed to beat, shoot, taze, kill, and arrest citizens... and do it all without the public having a right to witness and document it?
The police work for us. The citizen is their boss. We pay their salaries. We allow them to uphold the law. We as their boss, should have every right to make sure they do so, lawfully.
This is very scary. If the police have the right to not be filmed, then expect all kinds of abuses of the law to go unchallenged.
Do you think Rodney King would have had a case if not for the video?
How about the recent incident of the SWAT team storming some guys house, shooting his dogs in front of little children, dogs that were restrained and posed no harm. Feel free to youtube the highly disturbing video.
Do you trust the police to be honest when they are faced with jail time for abuses of power? Its a fact that cops stick together.
We the people have every right to protect ourselves from the government. A right to a fair trial. How can we have a fair trial when we are not allowed to document police actions?
All I see everywhere, is little kids and adults walking hand in hand... Those adults must be fucking those children! Sometimes theres even a woman and a man holding a childs hand as they walk down the street...
I agree that we the people, the government had a choice but they let the companies circumvent our labor laws by using offshore slavery.
We had little input in this. Deregulation destroyed us in every way from wallstreet, right down to the gulf oil disaster.
It's not as simple as just avoiding chinese made goods. Thats not realistic now. Everything is made there. And what isnt is made in similar labor markets.
Basically, I'm right... and you're trying to flank me with nonsense... and you keep trying.
It doesn't work. You're so typical of many internet conversations. When a point is made, instead of arguing for or against the point, you go for character assassination. Stop being a baby and talk about the issue.
In realty every OS has its benefits and negatives. I've used everything from dos, irix, linux, win 3.1, win95/98, nt351, nt4, win2000, xp, vista, 7, c64s, atari basic, MacOS, etc...:P
Although not a lot of Amiga OS. Never had one. Always wanted one.
Anyways... Its all been fun along the way.
There's been negatives on every OS... the trick is enjoying the the improvements.
I have windows 7 running on an old PC (Amd 3500+) and a new quadcore extreme...
I'm surprised it even runs on the 3500+ considering ATI dropped driver support for my old video card. It ran better than Vista ran on it.
Sure XP ran faster on the system, but XP didnt have built in desktop search, and XP had drivers for my Nforce 3 board. In all seriousness... It runs just fine on my old computer.
Its true, but when a company could undercut American prices by using foreign labor, they rigged the game. Of course the consumer was going to go for the "deal". The problem was allowing these business to do such a thing. It forced a new level of competition that ultimately destroyed our economy.
Yes, we get it. Calling me a racist, is the easiest way for you to vilify me and ignore the topic. Nice diversion. Classic no doubt. This is the way we battle these days. The first one to call the other racist and reference hitler, wins.
So how about those muslims that teach hate and murder? You seem to have no problem with them?
You just described how capitalism should work. The problem is they cheated the ecosystem that is our economy. They went outside the cyclical nature of our entire economy. They rigged the game.
Of course this only matters, if you actually care about your communities and neighbors.
The ultra wealthy only have equally rich neighbors...
Enjoy. Granted its Microsoft;) But this is pretty much universal there. Remember Nike employing children? or Kathy Lee's clothes being made by children? etc.

A woman recently won like 42 million in a jackpot and they refused to pay her saying it was a bug.

Yes but when the government only allows the government to record evidence... thats hardly fair is it?

So much for a fair trial.
So by now, who hasnt wiped their ass off with the bill of rights?
How about the recent story about the police saying that their patrol car tape was erased, and a citizen managing to prove that they were hiding it from him.

Why should we trust the police? We give them the right to carry guns and use them on citizens!
Why should the police be allowed to beat, shoot, taze, kill, and arrest citizens... and do it all without the public having a right to witness and document it?

Doesnt everyone fuck children?
All I see everywhere, is little kids and adults walking hand in hand... Those adults must be fucking those children! Sometimes theres even a woman and a man holding a childs hand as they walk down the street...
Obviously they fuck children.
We must end this!!!!
Fuck the EU and fuck the children. Fuck the assholes who use "child porn" as an excuse for every thing!!!
When has Google Trends ever listed a single Kiddie Porn search string?
If Kiddie porn was such a problem on search engines, surely it would be right up there on #1 of Google Trends right?
Give me a break.
The child fucking boogieman is not real. Its not the children that are getting fucked... ITS YOU.
Burn your governments down.
I dont know anyone that turned of UAC in vista or 7.
I dont mind UAC at all.
Microsoft never was a monopoly.
Is Google a monopoly?
Apple?
I really do not have a choice.
I agree that we the people, the government had a choice but they let the companies circumvent our labor laws by using offshore slavery.
We had little input in this. Deregulation destroyed us in every way from wallstreet, right down to the gulf oil disaster.

Sounds like a double standard to me.
Basically, Microsoft is not allowed to compete by law.
Basically, I'm right... and you're trying to flank me with nonsense... and you keep trying.

Islam preaches hate and death...
If I had a choice...
Unfortunately there are no choices.
And Apple loves to set a high price for those cheaply built components.
Every platform has its zealots. It is disgusting.

Strange. I have had 0 virus problems with Windows 7.
I run Chrome as well...
Nod32 is your friend.
Run Windows 7. Its a hell of a lot better. MS finally got something right.
Its not perfect, but its far better than XP and Vista.
I think MS is headed in the right direction once again.
Yeah I call bullshit. OSX is as evil as Microsoft if you're talking about openness.
Hell the cost of operations at Google would go up. They would have to replace their PC's with Macs (Expensive Apple Approved PCs) just to run OSX.

Muslims are far more afraid of sexuality than westerners. They cant even look at a women without spazzing out. They kill homosexuals.
We are more evolved culturally than them. Its just a fact.
I never said we were perfect though. Far from it. We are ass backwards as they are... but we're a little less ass backwards :) Hell a lot less.
Evolution is a slow process. I never said we were perfect. I just think we're better.
