I know of no trials in which the State was the plaintiff where anyone, in Germany or America, was charged with being of a certain race or religion. I don't know about that, anti-miscegenation laws did exist on the books, and people were not doubt prosecuted under said laws. Although you are mostly correct GPP probably meant to say persecuted.
and consider using better language next time -- "gaggle", "ploy" -- just smacks of a snooty, condescending attitude. As opposed to telling someone on the internet to use better language? Oh, the irony!

Sorry that was supposed to be asinine, as in the following quoted statement is asinine, " I'd love to see China put some serious fiscal hurt on us, as we'd deserve every bit of it." I see my calling the parent poster out on making such a statement is modded as troll, however the post I quoted calling for serious fiscal hurt on the US isn't marked as troll, keep up the good work moderators.
I'd love to see China put some serious fiscal hurt on us, as we'd deserve every bit of it. Instead of making assine statements on the internet, perhaps you would be better served ending your life, quickly and in a carbon neutral way.
Oh you poor misguided canuck, I do believe you'll be singing a different tune when the Russians come for the oil buried under the artic. Yes, the parent poster was using the American definition of liberal, as in cares too much about what a bunch of european snobs(who care so much about carbon emissions, then use a fleet of private planes to fly to a mountain top retreat to hold a summit) think. Don't get me wrong the other party in the US is no picnic either, they've got God on their side.
..I almost hope they succeed in killing off "legit" Internet Radio. The Internet could really use a nice dose of the good old Pirate Radio culture. Sure but how many times can you listen to "A Walk in the Black Forest"?

I'm reasonably certain Hilary Clinton will become President.... This could square a circle, calm everyone down, What sort of twilight zone world do you inhabit? I assure you Pres. Hilary or meet the new boss, same as the old boss will not calm everybody down. It will lead to untold levels of vitriol on the airwaves.
What sucks a bit though is that it is slightly underpowered for a 125 (11 hp/95 kph). 11 hp? Dude my self propelled lawn mower has a 5hp engine, btw 95kph ~ 59 mph that speed would get you killed on most major roads in the US. Might as well have purchased a moped.
take exception with the union example. I do not believe that the RIAA is a union of independent artists as they purport themselves to be by the standard English definitions of the worlds "independent" and "artists". I believe the OP meant "union" as a group of people who have outlived their usefulness and merely serve as a net drain on society. After all is putting groceries into a bag really a trade or skill that should require an apprenticeship? Now speaking ill of unions should burn me some karma, but it was worth it.
And then when the police come and you give them your report you'll be arrested and put in jail for owning and operating a high-powered laser without a licence. Well done, genius.
An old saying comes to mind,"Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6." Of course this device isn't a toy and I am sure your local news will run the story of the young man who now can't enjoy a viewmaster or drive at night due to lasing his eye. But you can't always protect people from themselves nor should you try.
I'm sorry, but the refusal to call a personal audio device that plays mp3s an "MP3 player" is just loony, That link http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html does more to damage freesoftware than 30 MSFT articles in trade mags. Seriously people get over yourselves no one cares if you listen to Ogg files, the rest of the world is still playing MP3s on our MP3 players. Didn't you guys get the memo political correctness is dead, fat people are fat, short people are short, and bald guys are still bald. HTH
Hey, Elton's actually made music that isn't the same canned love-song crap.The songs he writes are autobiographical, about people important to him, about things important to his lyricist, etc. RRRRRRight, like how he changed the lyrics to candle in the wind for Ryan White and Princess Diana. Nothing says your important like a madlib song.
Crocodile Rock Bzzt! Wrong Crocodile Rock is pretty much just pop bubble gum music. The other songs you listed have some redeeming qualities but Crocodile Rock is crap
Given today's vitriolic political climate, unfunny attempts at humor look more like editorializing. Such editorializing on/. has become tiresome. Karl Rove is not the source of all the world's evil. Tinfoil hat FTW.
Please, live and let live and let us hold a discussion without your pulling your homebrew out and wagging at us. It's big, that's nice, now let us talk about the conumer product we're interested in. You do realize that without competition from the homebrewers the only thing you get to discuss about your consumer product is "Now it comes in Pink!!!"
Are you counting the Crusades, the Genocide of Native Americans, the Nazi Holocaust, the eradication of Hiroshima Nagasaki, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Iraq Sanctions? I am sorry but what religion was the Khmer Rouge again?
Over half support the civilian incineration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki No doubt they know nothing of the fire bombing of Dresden. Though perhaps your coworkers realized that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki prevented the need for an invasion of mainland Japan, which would have lead to massive casualties on both sides. But hey if it soothes your bleeding heart to feel bad about Hiroshima and Nagasaki; feel free but, realize it may not be as black and white as you would like to pretend.
First, don't lump chemical and biological with nuclear. Yes, I know analysts do it but I think it unfairly magnifies the threat level of the BC in NBC. Just for fun google 1919 flu pandemic, or think back to the halycon days of Avian Flu 0wns j00!!!! Before thinking that biological weapons are overrated in terms of lethality or terror.
Classic "short-term / long-term" distraction argument. Why worry about preparing for the future, when there is something other bad happening right now?
Wars, genocide and famine are a bit more serious than mere distractions. Last time I checked dead people had no use for the internet.

PA recently became the 50th state in the union to put their laws online.
Not to be pedantic(ok it really is), but PA is a commonwealth not a "state"
