Google Apps lets you share documents across diverse locations in realtime and includes the ability to collaboratively edit documents simultaneously. Internet connections are NOT slow. Google Apps loads faster then Word does. Lastly you CAN save the documents off of Google Apps and keep them on your hard drive. Stop living in the past.
Anarchy is the clean slate. What it leads to is just as much oppression except that it is usually by individuals on other individuals. IE: slavery, involuntary servitude, sex slaves, extortion rackets, protection rackets... I could go on. It takes organization and combining of force to overcome such vices.
I did not condone prior restraint. Still the society at large makes the rules like I said and decides what is illegal. If you don't like it then argue to change those rules. Still the reason drug users are looked down upon is because 90% of drug dealers are nefarious and commit other crimes as well. The other 10% of drug dealers are the users themselves who just sell off the excess. How the law should determine which is which is pretty up in the air.
False Dichotomy my friend. False Dichotomy. There are more then two choices. The Republican party did not always exist. It branched off at least twice before. It can happen again.
I didn't say to vote for Republicans. You assume much. Too much indeed. Less government requires a strict adhearance to the constitution. These candidates are the likes of the candidate from the Constitution Party or maybe Ron Paul.
Among these inalienable rights, as proclaimed in that great document, is the right of men to pursue their happiness, by which is meant the right to pursue any lawful business or vocation, in any manner not inconsistent with the equal rights of others, which may increase their prosperity or develop their faculties, so as to give to them their highest enjoyment.
Yikes. The philosophical collisions in that sentence are causing an overload in my mind. First off just to be clear, people make choices of their own free will. They will always be prone to make choices which harm other people for their own good because they themselves are not perfect. The "oppression" you describe is also what us normal people know as civilization! The whole idea of Civilization is born out of the premise that people form groups who then decide what is right and wrong (or get it from another source) and then use the power of that group to enforce said rules on those who would otherwise be uncontrollable. One person may not be able to stop a mass murderer but a whole police force may be able to. That is the premise of civilized society. That I think you fail to grasp. We live in a fallen state and some sort of law enforcement is always required. I agree that the amount of laws should be restricted. I agree that the amount of law enforcement should be kept to whatever the minimum is. What we should NOT do is call all law enforcement "oppression". What is oppressive is Anarchy which your statement basically leads to.
Radio Shack had to be profitable so they sold out to the corporate marketing scheme and now they sell more cell phones then anything else. Still the wonder of the Internet can bring almost anything to your door if you are willing to wait a few days.
The message should be "Go to public University". I went to the CSU system (the largest University system in the world) and I graduated with only $20k in debt. That amounts to a monthly payment of only $120.
I don't know how your comment got moderated "Interesting". The only thing interesting is that your friend is a moron. I got one of those letters too. I threw it in the trash. Then I called up my actual lender who was Wachovia serviced by Salliemae. I got a consolidation from them and went from a 3.5% fixed to a 2% fixed with a lower monthly payment. People just need to do their homework.
Yes, like for the company I work for I buy stuff at MicroCenter and Fry's and then I order other stuff online. Still 90% of all stuff can be had online for less. SO if I can I order it online.
I completely agree that the stunt with laying off the highest paid employees was bullshit. But then in your next sentence you say you drive out of your way to go to Worst Buy (Best Buy). At this point can't you realize that the retail outlet and the misinformed sales staff are not needed and buy things through Amazon or Newegg.com?
If you knew anything about Slashdot you would know that hitting enter*

you need to use Paragraph tags "P" or "BR" tags.
See, now I'm on a new line.
*Where I put a * I hit enter. Notice it didn't create a new line.
What I don't get is that out of 18 reviews of that Monster Cable none of them was lower then 4.5 out of 5 stars. You would think at least one reviewer would compare it to another less expensive cable and say it is a ripoff.
AIG insures the banks. If AIG fails then so do the banks. It's a domino effect that the country could not really handle to have started. The problem is that AIG will take much more money to save then we already gave them. They insured the uninsurable.
"Shrink"(what BB calls it when their own store managers and employees steal shit) accounts for something like 90% of all theft in Best Buy stores and around 10% of the markup on items is because of it.
That article gave me some good ideas. See she talks about how Credit Card Companies have started extending credit to everyone but making credit for sub-prime borrowers more expensive. Coupling this with a low limit means the cc companies have a low risk. If a borrower defaults the loss is small and it is more then made up for with other sub-prime borrowers paying exorbitantly rates.
The problem with mortgages is that just by the very virtue that sub-prime mortgages are more expensive means that they cannot be afforded. Especially negatively amortizing loans quickly became too expensive because the payments adjust even if the interest rate stays the same.
Also all lenders fell under the same rules. All Lenders have to be a part of the equal housing act and faced even tougher rules if they wanted to be licensed with HUD. All lenders (especially big ones) faced scrutiny if they didn't have a certain percentage of their portfolio with under qualified borrowers. Now you are right that it was also greed. Nobody told New Century to be in the ONLY Sub-Prime business. Nobody told Washington Mutual to basically stop underwriting it's own loans and just approve whatever came it's way. The banks and brokers and other lenders all came together and made a giant mess out of the market by assuming way more risk then they could afford to cover.
Re-read the article. It says that you cannot discriminate against low-income neighborhoods when giving out loans. In all actuality the bank doesn't care where you are from, they just want to see income. This change essentially created a quota for banks to lend to certain areas. Well guess what? Lending to low-income people is a really dumb idea. This is why they traditionally rent. Because when they don't pay the rent you kick them out and you lost only 1 month of rent. With a loan you might lose 1/2 of the value of the home.
You know it's not those words that really get to people. If you really want to get to someone you need to use words like "your" and "I".
EG: I'm going to fuck your cunt.
Actually Clinton WAS horrible for this country. Clinton specifically made it so that Fannie and Freddie had to legally lend to people who were not qualified or face fines. He also sold off much of the military's assets during his years. That's how he balanced the budget. Then Democrat's came whining about how Bush didn't send enough troops to Iraq and we all wonder why. Well I don't wonder. I know it was Clinton's fault.

Everything you just said points to it being a giant mistake that the American Public just voted in Barack Obama.

Where and by who? Remember I was alive during Clinton's Presidency. I actually remember what happened so don't try to re-write history on me.
