what's "fear of religion" ? is it similar to "fear of genocide" ? "fear of torture" ? maybe "fear of lies"...
it would seem that people who have had more direct exposure to religion in their early years would have bigger chance of strong, negative opinion on the effects religion has.
what's unacceptable about being gay ? i'm not gay much, but that sentence struck me as something quite strongly put. i do plan to invite a few gays to a party soon, though - is that an acceptable behaviour ? can i read a website of some ministry or another organisation that is in charge of deciding what is an acceptable behaviour ?
arrgh. i can't my previous post on this (that "get n more comments" button is not lovely enough to click it 20 times). i just hope somebody reads all of them...
then...
wtf with the top bar ? i want to get RID OF IT. if i press spacebar to scroll down the page and read comments, it results in missing parts onscreen. in old design (or was that old-old ? i think i skipped old-new because it was dog slow and terribly buggy) i could at least hide it with that arrow button - ok, it appeared again after refresh and in general was terribly annoying, but... at least i could temporarily kill it.
also, how do i metamod ? i even loaded all the images on that page, something i don't do by default, and i just don't see how to use the page.
i wouldn't expect it to be much different from latest development versions of oo.org, which are notably faster except for the patchsets from go-oo - which was already distributed with several linux distros, thus it should be even less different from that one. there's too little time passed for such a huge codebase to differ in a significant way.
what i'd hate to see, though, useful development at oracle not to pass up to libreo... the opposite direction already seems to be sealed.
well, if mayors will have webm enabled browsers, employees of city councils would as well. it's a good plan - i'm just not sure how would google ensure that really, really all mayors will have those pluins installed
“Sure, the Jerry Brown theory was something I came up with all by my little self, but it turned out to be wrong.”
i'm not really into politics, much more american ones, but from what i have read, jerry brown actually turned out to be one of the most sane politicians you might have there
not to detriment your point... but take your post and replace porn by "knife". i'm sure forks are quite deadly as well (not to mention sporks).
parenting, not police state, is the sane answer. but if somebody is insanely puritan or just mentally ill, the first thing they seemingly do is run for the politics and try to fuck up everything according to their wicked brain.
Most people don't have the privilege of just deciding to have more money.
i don't believe this, and i don't believe this based on experience. yes, there are some people who really just don't have extra money. despite what it might look like, they are the minority. most have been tricked (or are just plain stupid) into spending money on shiny things.
i know people (well, they are my relatives) who don't have money to by food, literally. they still have bought a tv. they all have mobile phones. they call from their damn mobile phones (which all are better than mine...) to mind blowing stupid tv shows to vote on some idiot in there. pay calls.
i've spent years with a wage of $120 (usd), where at the end of the month i had equivalent to 40 us cents to eat for two days. sure, there are other people like that. but really, most of the people who _claim_ to be like that are not like that. those who really have financial trouble usually don't run around telling everybody about that. when you see how somebody who is not paying for their rent and sleeping on a mattress can drive the latest model mercedes or lexus...
hi there. a longtime (since v2) kde user and supporter. i have a confession to make. fuck with the "it's now the name of the community". if you know anybody who calls kde "kde SC ! !!!" kick them for me, thanks. so far i haven't met anybody i would have to kick, which shows that most people - surprise - call the desktop environment that we mostly like/love... kde.
here, the company is responsible for the employees to get their vacation. if they don't get the vacation, SMACK for the company. since that law, they are very, very careful. additionally, there is a requirement that there must be at least one stretch of a vacation at least two weeks long. it's even a problem going the opposite direction when employees want to have more shorter vacation periods - company is not officially allowed to give those out:)
minimal security ? i've seen some shop worker haul large trolley to the "security" checkpoint, full with bottles of LIQUID (well, it said "water" on them, but as we've been trained, you never know...). they put the bottles on the belt and pulled them through the scanner (very useful - not like you could see through them just like that, with that transparent LIQUID in there). then they pulled the trolley through the metal detector, but "security" personnel didn't look at that one. happening right before and after normal mortals had to take off their shoes and throw away their 0.5 water bottles.
or maybe swastika is also anti-homosexual symbol ? i guess the problem is, homosexuals didn't shout as loud and didn't get their own country. oh, and they didn't call anybody whom they didn't like "anti-sexualist":)
i'll plug again the fact that a variant of swastika has been long known and used as a protection symbol in latvia. also, if you would like to see the symbol reclaimed... the only way to do so is lift the stupid ban and allow people to talk about it and use it. if somebody will use it in a nazi fashion, they will expose themselves as an idiot. let them. i'd better find out about idiots sooner than let them gather, feel cool by using banned symbols (because banning makes them cool) and then go crazy.
for latvians (a country in europe, just in case), a variant of swastika has been known for a long, long time as thundercross - and thunder being the main pagan god, that was a sign of protection (from thunder and all evil) and was used on clothing, belts, doorways...
so for me it's more a sign of how one can taint a symbol in the minds of many, and it's also a symbol of stupidity - because by banning the nazi swastika gains more meaning and is more attractive.
it is cool because it is banned. anything banned will draw more attention to it.
personally, i don't think nazi german marches are particularly interesting musically or otherwise (well, maybe as an amusement factor) - but long time ago i downloaded and listened to them... because some people somewhere on the internet said i shouldn't.
swastika additionally is interesting, because it's not just asia - a variant of it has been long known and used in latvia as a thundercross. latvian pagan metal band skyforger every now and then has to educate people who kave no idea about the symbol being centuries old and with massively positive meaning... http://skyforger.lv/en/index.php?main_page_id=40&page_type=text
they supposedly were "forced" to remove thundercross from their logo (http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=2776):
"Despite accusations of being politically influenced, Skyforger is merely devoted to the ancient history and pagan mythology of its home country, without any visible signs of political leaning. The band has removed the Latvian thunder cross from its logo because of repeated misunderstandings."
and you know what ? lots and lots of young people will be drawn to swastikas, nazi marches and other stuff JUST because it is banned. but maybe that is the goal - to have a constant inner enemy, just like usa needs "terror" to fight.

before, i had old stories block in the right hand sidebar once i logged in. now it's gone. regression, i'd say :)
also, tag icon lacks any alt text or something - not visible when browsing with images off (gprs..)
on the plus side it looks like tags finally work in opera, which they didn't for years, so i just ignored them.

Back then, the life expectancy was 6-8 months. Thusly, the first quarry power tool was dubbed, "The Window Maker".
i... like... hmm. as in a power grinder to make an opening in a wall ? :)

and they pretty much all have a warning about age limit, sexual content etc. this "actual typing in" sounds like on of two :
1. an excuse for censorship ("think of the children that can't type";
2. "no, really, mom, i just mistyped. don't hit me and put in the closet again, just like last time when i saw a boobie"
"created webkit" as in forked khtml, for those less sucked into the apple cult ;) (khtml from kde, just in case)
