I'm Canadian. Some of my friends still live in the US. But I'm never crossing that border again
You will be sorely missed. Seriously, I'm sure that George W. Bush is wringing his hands wondering what he can do to persuade you to bring your whiny ass back into our county.
The laws in the US are striking puritanical; and while they have free speech rights on paper, they often don't mean much in practice.
We are so sorry that we don't allow you to fuck eleven-year-olds in the U.S.--maybe you should stay in Canada, you fucking pervert. Also, please look up the proper usage of a semicolon; that should have been a comma.
If this project wants to be seen as credible, perhaps they should have the money before they make the announcement. Whether or not the original poster wants to donate is immaterial.
You are a stalker though. That would be what posting the same brain dead idiotic response to my sig over and over indicates.
Posting the same response to the same brain-dead idiotic sig to illustrate the absurdity of it.
After all, it's not like *I* actually believe that what I wrote is true.
If you can actually come up with anything to refute it, go for it.
Okay, but you're not going to like it. The fact is that your argument is weak hyperbole; a child could take it apart with very little effort. The arguments that you posit, while decent arguments (in fact, I generally agree with the analysis) do not support your
the hypothesis of your sig.
You give absolutely no evidence that Republicans think that mass murder is good, nor do you give any evidence that Republicans think that 'loving a person' is evil. If so, where is that evidence? All you have done is put forward some facts about why people voted for Bush, and then made a huge leap in logical that would pretend that you know others' motivation and that this motivation is hatred ('purely religious based hatred').
I think that your whole problem is with religion. Certainly, if people believed in what these people claim to believe, then they would obviously be in opposition to gay
marriage. This would not necessarily mean that they hate gays--in fact the dictates of their religion would forbid that--it
might just mean that they have an externally imposed ethical structure.
That does not mean that when a group of people who can not even be consistent in their own stated (VERY LOUDLY) beliefs wants to shove their (bastardized version of) religion down my throat at gunpoint that I should ignore it.
Since you brought up the issue of the consistency
as it pertains to the adherents of religion, I would like to point out that it is infinitely easier to be consistent when one's morality is self-determined than it is when it is externally imposed. When morality is self-determined, all one has to do is change the belief in order to be consistent, which is exactly what happens
when personal interests conflict with morals. What people want/don't want
to do is quite often the basis for whether they believe an action is moral or
not. That is why rich people are more likely to oppose estate taxes, why
people with sexual proclivities towards children are more likely to belong to
NAMBLA, and people on the dole are more likely to be for more government
programs.
In any event, I think that your sense of outrage, your arguments and protestations are merely a smokescreen for the fact that you have yet to come to grips with some far more important issues and their implications. You are struggling with the same questions man has always struggled with: is there a God and, if so, what is his/her nature? All of the bluff and bluster does not negate the fact that you are quite unsure about
what your response should be to these questions and you are suffering
unnecessarily because of it.
Only Americans would be naive enough to leave their country without one.
That's so cool how you make fun of Americans. They are so provincial, aren't they (it's best to say this sentence like Thurston Howell, III). Obviously, you are enlightened and intelligent.
I thought thats what passports where used for?
Shows how ignorant I am.
You must be new here. This is/., where bitching, complaining, and whining about everything that U.S. government does (especially when Republican led) entitles you to feel superior to all those Jesus-loving, Walmart-shopping, Red State hucklebucks who voted for GWB.
And in case you didn't you know, here on/., all you have to do to appear enlightened and intelligent is be a cynic.
Republican Morality: Mass murder good. Loving a person Evil. What sick fucks.
Liberal Morality: Mass murder (abortion) good. Loving a person Evil (except if the definition of love includes two persons of the same sex and a rodent inserted in the rectum). What sick fucks.

Wow, my moronic little stalker forgot to hit the "post anonymously" box.
Maybe not supersleuth. Maybe this is one of a few identities (yes, it is possible to have more than one) that I have on/. After all if one doesn't hold to the typical/. groupthink one will get the equivalent of a shoutdown and will never be able to post at more than 0. Often it is just easier to post anonymously than to log out, log back in, and then go back to the post in order to reply. But maybe your pomposity and ego demands that you think otherwise.
As for the 'stalker' bit, don't flatter yourself. I'm just trying to kill some time by pointing out your broadbrush hypocrisy and giving you what you wanted. You *were* trying to provoke a response when you added your little flamebait signature, with its decidedly morally superior tone--now that you have one, you are more than just a little gleeful (yes it shows).
Perhaps you ought to try to get over yourself--you're not that profound or impressive that I can tell. Anyone can intake a bunch of politically charged claptrap and then regurgitate it on a second-rate news site. When you can come up with an original thought, maybe I will change my opinion.

You also have an attitude as a boss I would not like. No offense but I
certainly would not want to work for you with the type I am better because I
own my company... bla bla.
I think that you misunderstand--I only mentioned that I own the company
because the previous poster wrote that I must work in HR, with the insinuation
that I didn't have the best interests of my organization at heart. If you
check the parent posts, you will see that, unlike the previous posters, I didn't
try in any way to compare myself to anyone else.
Believe me, running this business has dispelled any notions that I might have
had about how smart I am or how talented a manager I thought I was.
Incidentally, being an out-of-work techie is how I ended up starting my own
business--you might consider it yourself. You might be surprised how many
small-to-medium sized businesses would be willing to pay you fairly well to
render services.
Seriously guy, when the people that hire people are that stupid, they will
make sure the cream of the crop goes elsewhere.
See there ya go. You're just the type I wouldn't hire--always spouting off
about their IQ, their certifications, their degrees, whining about their
situation. I can just imagine you in the workplace--'Hey everybody look at me!
I'm smart, look at me! I'm smarter than you. Or him. Or her...look at me!'
I'm smarter than most, and if that is a problem with you, then I'm glad
I'm not working for you. I'd rather work for someone that notices that I'm
competent and takes advantage of my skills.
That makes two of us that are glad you don't work for the company (that I
own). After all, I need to make a profit, not sit around and tell you how
brilliant you are and how impressed I am by your credentials. I'll give
you a little tip--most highly successful people aren't that interested in how smart
others think they are. They're usually too busy accomplishing.
He'd be lucky to get a link if the two routers were sitting together on a
table in his kitchen. Don't even get me started on Linksys, because they
really suck since Cisco took over. I haven't purchased a decent product
from them for over a year now.
Example: against my better judgment, last month I bought a pair of WET54Gs
for a customer for $160/each to use as a wireless bridge in conjunction with two
14dbi directional antennae. After dropping the connection numerous times
per day and managing only a paltry 5 meg/sec transfer rate, I replaced them with
two Netgear WGE101s for $90/each. No dropped connections; 18 meg/sec
transfer.
Somebody tell Cringely to do himself a huge favor and try a D-Link DI624 or

Yeah, that's right, now fly back to the hive.
I'm sorry, that's just not true. Everyone knows that there is no anti-MS bias on slashdot.
If it were MS, the headline would have read, "Bill Gates Diabolically Subverts Democracy"
I'm not sure I like the way this is going. Software is HARD. The jungle is VIRGIN. Uh-oh...
