There's a big misunderstanding here. The "meme" itself is only what the right-wing/fascist/regressive camp chooses to hear- in reality a lot of leftists will point out what exactly is fucked up about an aspect of American policy and the right-wing chooses to disagree with the statement, on the grounds that if the "liberal" (term for "people who disagree with conservatives") thinks there's something wrong with America that the "conservative" does not, well the "liberal" must just hate America. The implied message is that conservatives love America. And yet the conservative movement hates America! Every new deal program that keeps Americans from starving, every time a woman makes a choice to abort, every time a muslim immigrates to the US- if the conservative is put under the exact same standards as the liberal they must "hate America" as well, since they seem to be unhappy with it. Personally, I think at least the leftists are making an effort to keep the US secular- I think if conservatives want a theocracy they're more than welcome to move to Iran.
"mother tongue" sounds semantically marked, use "native language" instead. Also "incentive" is not a mass noun so it needs to be made plural. As a matter of style, "foreign-sounding" should be hyphenated. </sarcastic repartee>
It doesn't matter if you educate them. They avoid birth control because the catholic church has moved in in the name of God and told them they'll burn in hell if they use condoms. Basically, the catholic church is responsible for the persistence of AIDS.

You would rather have police locked in a room with someone and walk out with a supposedly signed confession disposition when a videotape would have proved it forged? Say what you want about "serve and protect", there are good cops, but it's the bad cops that ruin things for the rest of us.
I understand where you're coming from but my complaint is against something deeper. It's like someone committing acts in the name of "x" and everyone immediately assuming that anyone who believes in "x" is a dangerous terrorist. Yeah, a bunch of douches calling themselves anonymous have done stupid shit (mostly prank phone calls and hacking photobuckets. OH NOES!), but calling "Anonymous" a terrorist group is basically saying that anyone who wants privacy must be a mass-murderer. It's idiotic.
Who modded this offtopic? You don't even realize how true it is.
Are they even listening to themselves? Do they realize how stupid they sound? "A group known as Anonymous"- you mean that guy that had attributed to him poems, quotes, and the rickroll? Anonymous is Anonymous. Seriously. Say what you want about "lol *chan" but the truth is 'Anonymous' is not linked to 4chan. Anonymous itself is a person, who wishes to keep their identity hidden. "Anonymous", as a group, simply refers to the collective nature of people who wish to conceal their identities. THAT'S IT. IT WAS A JOKE. "Anonymous does not forgive!" IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THE PERSON'S NAME CAME UP AS ANONYMOUS, NOT BECAUSE ANYONE WHO ASSOCIATES THEMSELVES WITH THIS GROUP IS UNFORGIVING. Christ, will these fuckers ever get it through their thick fucking heads that this isn't some terrorist group? This isn't some fucking Jihad against Scientology! It's a bunch of pissed off nerds who got a bunch of other nerds from around the world to protest a cult, THAT'S IT. The media are a bunch of fuckups.
Well, considering the yuppies and the hippies are mutually exclusive (as in, you're either a yuppie or a hippie), you probably meant to put a slash there.
See above, these guys know what they're talking about. But, (obligatory), if you don't trust them, you can always:
1) Hit ctrl-alt-delete twice really fast and you'll unlock article-reply feature! 2) Alter windows to allow article replies by deleting C:/Windows/System32/*.dll 3) Your modem isn't fast enough. Open your computer, remove the modem, and lubricate it with vaseline to help reduce packet friction.
Taxes pay for public transit. Public transit allows people with less money to travel to places where jobs may be higher-paying, or more available, thus increasing effective employment. Taxes, prosperity.
Seriously though, I don't even know why we're paying attention anymore. Who agrees with these assholes that isn't a corporate shill or a Metallica fanboy? I'm serious here, I'd like an answer.
Are you sure? I'd be interested to see what EA's decision is- considering their current titles I'd expect it wouldn't be very good, but if you consider that they're paying for the liability associated with Rockstar's past and current titles (including but not limited to GTA 1, 2, 3, VC, SA, State of Emergency, Red Dead Revolver, Bully [currently proceeding], etc); Wouldn't you assume that if they're taking on Rockstar's past liability that they might, in fact, be planning to provide a legal umbrella to Rockstar? That having been said my feeling on the matter is that I fully expect EA to be Microsoft to Rockstar's Rare. Buy the franchise, cut the team, fill it with talentless Bungie dipshits.
Well, you have to understand the kind of civil religion that came about in the US during and after the Soviet Union- a lot of people in the states see the free market as the Holy Ghost, Milton Friedman as Jesus Christ, and Ayn Rand as the One True God. And if you contradict that with "socialist ideas" (including but not limited to Keynesian economics, trustbusting, welfare, and civil projects), prepare to be derided as one who will "tax the country into poverty". I'm not kidding.

And if you don't trust the IMAP client, I think you've got a bit more far-reaching implications than your gmail password being lost... such as accounts outside google being lost...
Even then if you recruit _decent_ programmers, maybe they would be great programmers if given the right kind of attention and teaching? At the very least you can keep them from being _bad_ programmers. Maybe the idea is to have a wide-scale internship program in which you attempt to find your great programmers?

Ah yes, whoever could forget the Debildo, with its demo video featuring famous porn stars moaning "apt-get INSTALL!"
on a more serious note, some of this tech is Very Real.

Which, by the way, along with Fox News and the brand-new european front Sky News are all part of the Murdoch Empire.
