The phone service that I pay for is for me to use. It is my service, not some dipstick company's. You want to use my resources to make money?.....then pay for it.
That's free-market capitalism you twit.
....and what do you expect to happen when you call 911?
Will the police just appear in a poof of smoke and save you from Mr. Bad Guy?
Sorry, this is still planet Earth, and we need to take responsibility for our own safety. If you're not willing to fight and/or kill the S.O.B who's threatening you or your family, I don't want anyone saving you so you can breed again.
If you want to be tracked, just move to Europe.....or settle with staying in the U.S. until we become as pussyfied as they are. I predict 25 years.
How wonderful. Now, instead of being frozen wasteland, Siberia will become usable.
People who don't get outside much (wussy city folks) think this is the end of the world.
However, this is merely a manifestation of the cooling/warming cycle the earth has gone through for eons. I can't buy into the idea that people somehow caused it any more than I can buy into the idea that Neanderthals caused the last ice age.
This is part of a cycle. The earth is supposed to be warming up right now. We don't live in a Disney movie. This is how nature works.
Hello Idiot,
Americans have chosen to lose wars rather than use nuclear weapons. We lost Vietnam, we sort of lost Korea, and now we're fighting a knock-down drag-out war with the muslim cult leaders.
You blather about disdain for non-american lives. How many non-americans have we allowed to kick our asses because we did not want to kill them?...and it seems any disdain is only coming from you, and that disdain is towards Americans. I'll bet you don't have a bit of a problem with Americans dying so your rat-hole country can be on top.
Do you really believe that you shouldn't kill someone who is killing other people? You are obligated to do that. If you don't, that makes YOU complicit in the murders. If you don't have the courage to do what is right, you should just stay in the house with the women and keep your cowardly thoughts to yourself.
I completely agree with you. The Japanese were so brutal that the Nazis protested it. That's pretty damned bad when Nazis think you're too harsh.
The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war. Period. No more atrocities were committed by the Empire of Japan after that, and Japan went on to become an economic power because The U.S. rebuilt them and wrote their constitution.
The people who snivel and moan about the people in thoses cities don't have the big picture. Innocent men, women and children had been dying at the hands of these monsters for years. Killing their people stopped it.
They forced it to be done. Everything that happened is entirely the fault of Japan, and I have to point out that they were developing their own atomic bomb to drop on the U.S.
I don't really care how inconvenient it is. Your company's purpose is to annoy the living crap out of people. So while I pity your personal hardships at work, I have no sympathy at all for your business and absolutely NO interest in making their operations easier.
In fact, I want to go out of my way to do bad things to them; to make things harder and harder to do to ensure that they go out of business.
These "people" live by sucking the blood of others and richly deserve every hardship.
Just a couple of weeks ago I was talking with my boss about having moving pictures in our product manuals.
Damn. How cool it would be to read a book to my kid with moving pictures in it too, like the newspapers in Harry Potter.
How about framing these things, and then you could change the pictures on your walls with every season....or change the good pictures in the living room to those of your mother-in-law when she visits.
Hell, they may even prove to be cheap video display devices.
The possiblilities are profound.
What happens is you protect yourself. I concede that it's more and more difficult to do that, but it's because our venerable lawmakers are actively trying to create a country where no one CAN legally take care of themselves.
Can't have a socialist nanny-state if men take responsibility for our families and ourselves, can we?
I don't think this is about public safety. It's about the government knowing where you are. Sure there's some benefit; you can't rob people of their freedom without giving them the perception of security in return, but they've made it so they can pinpoint your location.
And what does that give us? In 1982 my Granddad's barn burnt down. There was no street address (we lived on a dirt road), no 911 service, and the nearest fire department was 20 miles away. We called the fire department and it took them half an hour to show up.
Sixteen years later, on the same dirt road, my cousin's house caught fire. By this time we had 911 and the county had named the road after my Grandad and put up a sign.
Guess what? The fire department was still 20 miles away, and it still took them half an hour to get there.
When my Aunt called 911 they knew the address immediately, but the one minute saved by that was wasted because the 911 dispatcher still had to contact the fire department.
The same issue holds true when reporting a crime. When there's a guy in your house with his mind set on killing you and raping your wife, will he kindly wait for you to call 911 and then sip tea until the cops show up?
Old people who've fallen and can't talk or get up.....ok, there's one good use of the 911 system.
The point I'm trying to make here is that the safety net 911 provides is obviously limited, and the importance and priority that our government places on it is grossly out of proportion to the benefit it provides.
So I have to ask why.... ...and the first thing I can think of is that it makes it easier for them to track us.
The second thing I think of is that it gives people a false sense of security so they'll give up their guns and forget what it's like to take responsibility for themselves.
That makes it relatively simple for us to be controlled by the government.
What we need to do to stop this madness is for men to act like men and be brave enough to protect ourselves, our families, and our neighbors. All the prissy little men running around in their sweaters and minivans are ruining the country for the rest of us.
breathe....stop ranting....breathe...ok.
I have VOIP service. My 911 is first aid training, a phone to call an ambulance (they have a direct line you know), and a fair assortment of firearms to knock the sorry life out of the b**tard who may be trying to hurt my family and/or take my stuff.
I also have mother, so I don't need the government to provide a substitute.
Killing animals over the internet is not hunting, it's just slaughtering animals for your own jollies.
I am a hunter. When I hunt animals, I am out in the woods with them. Sometimes I find game and sometimes I do not...it all depends on how quiet I am, if I'm tracking correctly, and how well I know the behavior of the critter I'm looking for. It is NOT a sport.
I am out out there to get meat to put on the table. If I can't eat it, I won't kill it. If I kill it, I eat it. It's as simple as that.
Any yahoo who would take part in in such an abomination as this deserves jail time.
Point 1.
Look up the definition of bigot before you carelessly throw it around more. Your comments fit the definition.
Point 2.
AIDS is not exclusively a gay disease, but (at least in the U.S.) most who have it get it by gay sex. Then it spreads from there to hurt innocent people.
Point 3.
Gay sex does make you more vulnerable to getting AIDS than straight sex. AIDS is transmitted through blood exchange. The anus was not designed for sex and is not self-lubricating like a vagina. The friction caused by anal sex causes minute tears in the skin (called rubbing raw) and blood transfer occurs.
This bleeding also exposes the person(s) to hepatitis infection, because the nasty things in poop can now get into the bloodstream as well.
I do not engage in anal sex with my wife because that's where her poop is and I'm not sticking my winky in poop. Exit only.
Point 4
I don't tolerate anyone making sexual advances at work. It's not the place for it, and can be distracting at the very least. You illustrate quite well the problems with gays in the workplace, because it seems from your comments that you have no problems with sexual advances being made at work. I wouldn't hire anyone who would do that because I don't want to spend my days with them.
Now let me make something clear to you. You probably want to think that I hate you because you're gay. Sorry to disappoint, but I don't. In fact most people who don't like homosexuality get along well with the people who act it out. If you were in my home I'd offer you a beer. If you were at my work I would work with you. If you ever put the moves on me in either place I'd break your teeth......ok maybe not, but I'd at least ask you to leave.
Are you starting to get it? It's the BEHAVIOR I refuse to tolerate. Not you.
There's your lesson for Friday April 21.
BTW, thanks for the debate.
You throw around words like bigot and predjudice fairly easily. It seems that you are correct; you don't comprehend it, therefore you think that anything less than total acceptance of you view is bigotry. Funny. That's very close to the definition of bigot in my trusty Merriam-Webster.
How many AIDS sufferers have died in your arms? How many former homosexuals have you listened to as they cried in regret over the life they've led?
I've been there buddy. Its happened with my friends and in my family pal. Get some down and dirty experience with the lifestyle and then come back here and post your new experience.
Homosexuality destroys lives. Its abnormality tears apart families and ultimately damages or kills very many of the people who participate in the lifestyle. If not by AIDS then hepatitis or the numerous other nasty sicknesses that come from constant intimate contact with feces.
If we pretend its normal and enact laws that encourage people or make it easier for them to live that way, we're complicit in hurting these people.
Don't you get that? It's not about religion. It's barely even about morality. There are real practical problems that exist because we tolerate this behavior. If not passing this law makes it inconvenient for some folks to be gay, then great. That's what I hope it does.
Sure, it's easy to ignore the problem and pretend its ok; it takes no effort to do that and you can tell yourself you're "compassionate".
It takes a little more courage to stand up to what's wrong and try to help these folks have a better life.
...and just one more thing. It appears that you have little experience hiring people. Personal life carries over into work life. Just trust me on this. It does.
Alcoholics usually have problems getting to work on time. Tweakers usually steal from you. Homosexuals usually have personal conflicts with their co-workers, often by hitting on straight people. It's happened to me quite often. Ashamed to admit that, but it does seem I'm a poofter magnet. Must be my nice ass.;)
There's your lesson for Thursday April 21.
Have a nice day.
When I posted, I figured the reply would be one of the following:
1. You're a bigot
2. You're an idiot.
3. You're ignorant.
4.....but it's genetic!
Congratulations. Your predictability only scored 3 out of a high score of one.
The fact is that laws like this ARE designed to force everyone to accept homosexuality. They go right along with the concept of "hate speech" that would punish me for criticizing the gay lifestyle.
Still think not? What if I own my own company and have a gay employee? What if said employee demands that I pay benefits to him as if he's married? The law they want to pass would force me to finance his perverted lifestyle.
Like other liberals who can't support their arguments with facts, and as someone who admittedly had your IQ fall 50 points recently, you fall back on the irrelevant old, "blacks and women" argument. Blacks were born black. Women were born with vaginas. For that matter white men are born white men and are just as prone to predjudice as any other group. Your weak argument which excludes white men is a fine example.
No one is gay until they have sex with someone of their own gender. I reference the Merriam-Webster dictionary:
Homosexual: of, relating to, or involving sexual intercourse between persons of the same sex.
No I'm not joking. I'm stating facts. Can you handle that, or do you need therapy now?
How about this? If gays want to be treated as normal people, they can act like normal people. Otherwise, they have to accept their gayness and all the good and bad that goes along with it.
No one...Microsoft, the government, loud-mouthed protesters, etc. should be trying to force people to embrace hommosexuality.
I like fishing. Why not pass laws forcing everyone to like me because I fish?
I think if you work in another state you could just thumb your nose at the New York Tax Nazis and tell them to take a hike. They have no jurisdiction outside New York.
Of course you'll have to stay out of New York until the statute of limitations is up to avoid any penalties.
Just another chance for Europeans to whine and snivel about how Americans won't do things their way.
When you clowns learn to bathe regularly and stop acting like a bunch of women, maybe you'll gain some respect and we'll listen to you.
Otherwise, kiss my cowboy boots.

That's free-market capitalism you twit.
Well I'll be damned. I thought they charged for it, but apparently all they require is registration. I'm downloading it now to kick the tires.
Ummmm.....will Solaris be free?
Valid reasons. I get a little rough when I drink beer and make posts late at night.
....and what do you expect to happen when you call 911? Will the police just appear in a poof of smoke and save you from Mr. Bad Guy?

Will you say the same when they come to cut off YOUR head? Will it be ok to dehumanize them then? Fucking idiot.

So while I pity your personal hardships at work, I have no sympathy at all for your business and absolutely NO interest in making their operations easier.
