I heard about slashdot stalkers before and I am glad to have finally got one. This is cool as hell. Some pussy out there looking for my posts (I bet you have me modded up so you can find them easy) and then replying to them anonymously.
Do you bookmark your replies so you can keep track or is it enough to autmatically mod me up? Just curious.
Thanks for being my stalker. Just don't jerk off reading my posts or anything like that.
"Maybe options should be replaced with something tied more directly to earnings. It's still early days."
Great post. Regarding the above point. You may have heard of something called profit sharing. It has been around for a while and it's probably what you are looking for.
I got two toys for my dog. I named one "abu nidal" and the other one "abu abas". After about five tries my dog could tell the difference between the two.
If expecting the president of the united states to be able to tell those two apart is zealotry then I am proud to be a zealot.
If expecting the president of the united states to have basic grasp of reality and facts is zealotry then I am proud to be a zealot.
If expecting the president of the united states to have sound reasons and rational for going to war is zealotry then I proud to be a zealot.
If expecting the president of the united states to be smarter then a dog is zealotry then I am proud to be a zealot.
"That's a tad different than "Love thy neighbour"."
Which is still different then "kill them all, kill their women, kill their children, kill their animals and salt the earth so that not even the plants can survive".
"Still, I'll watch, if only in the hopes that Bush will stumble badly over a fact or two."
Would it really matter. Bush has said 10 times in various forums that Abu Nidal Killed Leon Klinghoffer when it was really Abu Abbas. Have you heard anybody in the press ask him about it? Have seen anybody in the democratic party hold his feet to the fire on it? Why hasn't cheney or rove corrected him after the first five times he told that lie? How come he does not know who he is fighting?
Apparently nobody cares when Bush says something stupid, makes a gaffe, out and out lie or get some facts wrong.
" No, what I'm asking is, for example, if Bush's national guard unit were called up for active duty, the question is would George have gone?"
Probably not. He failed to show up for his physical and therefore was not qualified to fly. Coincedentally it was the first physical that was to test for drugs.
GW went to the guard knowing full well that he would not be called up. It was unheard of at the time. He never expected to go to vietnam.
Kerry joined the navy knowing full well he would go to vietnam. That's the difference. One know he was going to vietnam the other knew he wasn't.
"If someone has to go to desparate measures to support their elderly parents, then the elderly parents did not plan well for their future - and you want the rest of the world to pay for it."
I am just saying that the rest of the country (not the world) will pay for it anyway. Long time ago there was no such thing as social security. It was invented because it was needed. If it did not exist you might have to pay extra to fund more law enforcement or more jails because people would resort to selling drugs or stealing in order to pay for their fathers medicines or operation.
I just don't get the liberterian types at all. Social security, medicare, medicaid, public schools etc are all relatively new things. The country ran without them for quite a long time but it did not work out. People invented those things to solve problems liberterianism created.
The impalers were experts at missing the vital organs so the death would take as long as possible. The stakes were usually arrayed in a public place so that the entire population could witness the agony of the victim.
If something like this was proposed today I bet a lot of people would be for it though. Not a majority for sure but I bet a good 40% of the people would approve of impaling terrorists.
"BTW, it was God who brought the walls down and commanded the killing. I wonder what the 4 year olds Jerichoans had done to upset God that much..."
Are there any passages in the Bible describing the people satan killed? It seems like it's always god killing people by the thousands. In fact he flooded the world killing everybody in it except one family and the animals.
If there is a bible expert out there could you please give a reference to where Satan kills a few thousand people.
It's not gone. It goes to support other people. In the long run this makes for a more stable society because people don't have to resort to desparete measures to support their elderly parents.
If you live in a state that gets hit with hurricanes every year or so then it's long term isn't it?
"This woman wants help on an ongoing basis. Before she gets it, she should have to come up with a viable plan where she'll eventually no longer need it."
Pray tell what is she to do except maybe kill her son.
You haven't answered the question. Why should the votes of those rubes (I prefer the term leeches due to them constantly having their hand out for govt subsidies) in flyover country have more say in who the president is then the people who contribute more to the wealth and culture of this country?
Under what calculus do you justify ohio being more important then California?
"As has been pointed out, Kerry joined the Navy because they were the least likely to actually have to go to battle"
But he actually went to vietnam and actually killed people and actually got shot at and actually got wounded. If he wanted to avoid that he could have gotten deferments like Cheney did, faked an illness like Rush Limbaugh did (ingrown hairs), or gotten a national guard assignment like Bush did.
"George Bush flew jet planes - something inherently dangerous,"
Yes and so is driving. In fact driving is more risky then flying airplanes. IT's all moot anyway because he never showed up for his last physical and didn't complete his training.
I am sorry that Kerry did not get wounded enough or saw enough combat to make you happy but clearly he was willing to die for his country and Bush and Cheney were not.
1) Choose a candidate that is willing to further your ideology. 2) Choose a candidate that is of a minority so you can accuse the people who oppose him/her of racism/sexism/anti-semitic/anti-catholic/bigoted.

Oooh my first slashdot stalker. Too bad he is a pussy. hi pussy stalker! Are you jerking your little pud right now looking for my posts?

I must have misunderstood your post. Sorry.
First of all unless you have all of a sudden aquired the capability to read minds you have no idea that he would not have joined the navy.
Secondly combat or not he knew he was going to vietnam. When Bush joined the guard he knew he was not going to vietnam.
Finally I have seen lots of footage of navy boats engaging in combat so I highly doubt people joined the navy to avoid combat.
"Oh, wait.... What breed is sh/e?"
Border Collie.
I called one of his toys "abu nidal" and the other one "abu abbas". He was able to tell the difference after about five tries.
"All we have been able to do for years is to select the lesser of two evils."
True but not insignificant. It's important to vote even if it's for the lesser evel. You would not want the greater evil to run the country would you.
" Did Nader get on the ballot in any state? "
Sure, in lots of them. Republicans made sure of that. See florida for example.
"So we could have an inept Gore Administration in the place of an equally inept Bush Administration?"
I don't know about "equally inept". I am of the opinion that my dog would have done a better job of being the president that bush has.
"Depends on how the label "terrorist" is applied."
Wow. I was half expecting a response like this.
Why is impaling somebody OK no matter how horrible the crime?
Better yet. What kind of a person actually wants to see somebody impaled on a stick and suffering for days while slowly dying.
"That's a tad different than "Love thy neighbour"."
Which is still different then "kill them all, kill their women, kill their children, kill their animals and salt the earth so that not even the plants can survive".
That old Jehova was one ornery motherfucker.

When you are waging war it's important to know why and against whom you are waging war.

Really there are only two factors.
1) Choose a candidate that is willing to further your ideology.
2) Choose a candidate that is of a minority so you can accuse the people who oppose him/her of racism/sexism/anti-semitic/anti-catholic/bigoted.
Simple really.
Both men were given this opportunity during the vietnam war. Both men came from privledeged families and had the resources to avoid going to war.
Kerry went to war and Bush did not. While at war Kerry saw combat he killed people and he risked being killed.
This question has already been answered by history.
