Side question: Why is it Ok for people to have statues of little boys peeing in their garden, with fully functional stream, but not little girls? Just curious...
I was going to post this earlier, but got sidetracked. I used to live next door to a guy that spent 15 years as an oilfield roughneck. He only worked in the US. He claimed that every well he worked on was a "gusher," but was immediately capped & declared a "dry hole." He said he worked for several companies, they all did it... He described himself as a "country boy that didn't even finish high school" but even he could see "they was using up the other guy's oil first, so when it ran out we'd be the only ones with any"
I bought a laptop for $479 a couple months ago. They might want to look at it. Has the following:
1.9GHz AMD Athlon 64 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TK-57 processor, 512KB of L2 cache, and up to 1600MHz of system bus 15.4" (diagonal) high-definition BrightView widescreen 1024MB DDR2 SDRAM (2 DIMM) and maximum supported memory of 3072MB Nvidia GeForce 7000M graphics integrated 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN modem 802.11b/g WLAN double-layer DVD±R/RW Super Multi drive six-cell Lithium-Ion battery 120GB (5400 rpm) hard drive integrated 5-in-1 digital media card reader
Came with Vista, so I upgraded it to XP. Added a couple partitions & installed Ubuntu & Puppy.
It's made by a company called HP. They should contact them...
13 days into owning my new toy, my teenager sat on the damn thing. Called the store & they said I had up to 14 days to purchase the full "no questions asked" warranty.Ran up to the store & bought it for $179. The girl at the register said "did you break it already?" I told her "Nooo..." she said I should wait a couple weeks to turn it in. I did, they fixed it. I won't allow the kid to sit down in the same building as the laptop anymore...
Now, you know how many cops patrol that area? Two. Two! That's not even enough to have even any officers in the area all the time!
The town I live in has a population of around 175,000.
The police dept. employs almost 400 officers.
I recently attended a community outreach program put on by the police. They are PROUD of the fact that at any one time, in the whole city, there are SEVEN officers patrolling.
SEVEN!
Of 400!
I wonder if this is SOP across America?
If it is, some changes need to be made...
You've confused "nonprofit" with "charitable organization"
From the wiki for nonprofit: Most experts consider the legal and ethical restrictions on the distribution of profits to owners or shareholders as what fundamentally distinguishes nonprofits from commercial enterprises.
you all should know that one of the first steps in a war is a propaganda campaign against the "enemy". deseminating false information and / or controlling both sides of the argument and / or the media are both excellent ways of accomplishing this.
by the way since our goverment has repeatedly & publically declared war on drugs & its' citizens who use them, shouldn't these people be dealt with under the geneva convention?
which I think among other things forbids the holding of prisoners of war with common criminals.
for supporting documentation read the 6th ammendment to the u.s. constitution which states that any treaty the u.s. is a signatory to becomes the SUPREME law of the land abrogating all other constitutions(s), laws &/or acts of legislative bodies.

Sorry, in the United Fundamentalist Christian States of America, it's not OK.
Hey those are pretty cool, I'd probably get arrested & have to register as sex offender if I put one on the lawn, though...

Won't someone think of the pixels?
Although, Ginger in elf costume might sway me...

Self abuse does not count as "violent behavior" /for MOST people, anyways...
