Off topic, but wassn't PKD tactic to write a whole bunch of short stories, then when he got older convert them into novels? Still love him tho. Not that excited about Gibbo.
Yeah, they both did exactly the same thing, didn't they. The protestors were trying to make a point, that although Dow was "beaten", there are huge tracks of land still unusable, so they dump a small amount of the poisoned land on Dow. They did not create the poisoned land, in fact, they were really just returning Dow's chemicals to Dow.
Can you not see the difference, or are you being deliberatly obtuse?
Perhaps Dow should be forced to clean up the mess, no matter how much money it costs, and no matter how much they try to buy off the government.
Fascinating account of what has happened. But, I can't see anywhere in your post, where you discuss what happened to those responsible? No one was jailed because of this tragedy, and it is quite possible that the people involved are still working at Dow. If you are happy with this outcome, then could you please move next to one of their plants? thanks, J.
From reading between the lines of the article, it appears that they are suing the protesters, and not all the survivors, for what sounds like an irresponsible protest rather than a peaceful one. If someone showed up at my company's door with deadly chemicals, we'd have to shut the place down for security reasons, at a cost to the business.
You can't see the irony in this. So you would have to shut your business down for security reasons. What about the people whose land is filled with these chemicals, what the fuck do they shut down, there houses?
Who the fuck modded this post up, or has Dow somehow taken over this website too!

Dow vs. Parody

Yeah, I side with Dow as well, I mean, sure they killed hundreds of people and poisoined the land around their plant, and the effects of the tragedy are still having effects 18 years later, but someone pretended to be them, and that is just not on.
You do realise you sound like a complete dickhead, don't you?
If she is sitting next to you, why don't you just grab her phone, and throw it. Seems like a much better solution, and one she is more likely to remember than some crude threat(which I thought was funny.)
People were irritating in theaters before they had cell phones. There have been people talking, having big hats, having big hair, being fat, having crying children, having body odor and everything else ever since we've gathered in groups to enjoy things together.
Great point... wonderful. And people killed other people before the widespread ownership of guns, but almost 12,000 deaths a year it was not. I suppose it is just a matter of degree.
Yes, busybodies suck, it is much better to be apathetic to our society, to not stick up for what you stand for, have no principles. Then you wont get upset when our world is completely shit!
Sure using humans as batteries is a silly idea. The one thing that keeps me interested is the fact, nah hope, that this turns out to be not the complete truth. Either morpheus is lying, for his own reasons, or he doesn't know the whole truth either.
I really don't care if MS absorb me into the collective. They would take care of me real well, and I wouldn't have to worry too much about the stress of modern life. People are always focusing on the bad side.
You are mistaken, this is not suspension of disbelief. What your examples are is of sci-fi/ fantasy elements. The problem is huge plot holes in the story, logical inconsistincies. If we assume that a warp drive exists in a story, then it exists, we don't have to prove it. But if someone dies, yet somehow comes back to life in a scene later on, it might be nice to explain it.
No, it is called haven't seen all the movies yet. They have to explain this better in the next two movies, or it makes the movies crap. Suspension of disbelief does not work, i am afraid. You can't just explain away huge logical falacies away with that term.
Slashdot Mirror
Are there really that many web sites out there that are viewable only with IE? I rarely come across any, anymore.
Yeah, ever since i switched to IE, i never come across any!
To get to the same side.
and the rest of the arab world:
"First Israeli in Space...
6.592 million to go."
Fortunately the plants are spread out all over the world.
Come on, he probably can't afford it anymore frequently.
Your quote doesn't metion whether they moved out of his living room?
Can't you just read a book? Is this one of the silliest Ask Slashdots or what?
Britain is planning an attack on the US if they don't stop production of "weapons of mass destruction".
I thought this was more appropriate because we are talking about two evils.
Here to Josh and Jimm, I hope they have a very happy life together!

In Soviet Russia, you wouldn't see a book like this...
No, the Russians could probably handle a book a little bit longer.

If all you like is guns, I bet you were suprised when you discovered that it actually had a plot.
Spoiler for the next two: No guns...
Car chases suck. The only decent car chase, was the one in duckman episode, "I, Duckman", the very first episode.
It's called suspension of disbelief.
No, it is called haven't seen all the movies yet. They have to explain this better in the next two movies, or it makes the movies crap. Suspension of disbelief does not work, i am afraid. You can't just explain away huge logical falacies away with that term.
