Hey, that's a good point. The argument that football causes you to be violent makes so little sense that it's almost as if the person who wrote this article suggested it to parallel and subsequently exemplify the inanity of a similar situation. But you're probably right. He wasn't using an analogy, he was just a hypocrite.
American workers are already being called the laziest in the world (by conservatives, mind you) while statistics show them to be among the most productive (overall, if not per hour). If we're such collective goof offs then why are we so productive?
A lot of things talked about in the article were taking place in Europe and Japan. There's nothing American about it.
Oh my God, I never noticed that before! Before I thought they were doing all this because it was allowing them to make billions of dollars a year, but now that you point it out it seems much more plausible that they're personally spying on you. You might want to look into this too.
Because he personally went to China and did this? Perhaps you are not aware of how huge corporations like this work. Or even more likely, perhaps you are an idiot.
This has more to do with the Chinese government than anything else. For God's sake, do you think Microsoft is the one behind all the censorship there? Yup! It was Microsoft! Microsoft is the one that instigated a communist revolution in China in the early 20th century, and Microsoft is the one who turned the government corrupt and oppressive!
If Microsoft gave a shit about anything other than they're bank balance they would personally raise and army to invade China and liberate its citizens! Fuck Microsoft and their evil power-hungry Communist ways!
About jumptheshark.com: I want to punch whoever keeps spelling Leela's name "Layla" in the face. If you don't know anything about a show you have no right to say when it jumped the shark, even if you're letting other people vote.
Seriously, though. I think I would bang her, but offered the choice there's probably 1000's of people I'd go with first. I know the shitty shows you watch on VH1 tell you she's attractive, but that's barring in the mind the slightly significant fact that she looks just like every other whore of a celebrity who spends thousands of dollars on their appearance. Or you know... thousands of normal people. Don't be a slave to this pop-culture bullshit, celebrities aren't better than regular people.
No, the point is that E-mail is too broad a category to be called an addiction. It's stupid. E-mail is not an end in itself, it's a means to do other things. It's the same with walking, you walk to go to place to place and to get you things, it's not because you just like walking. And obviously you're not addicted to walking.

Not really.

Please, this is Slashdot.
Gravity is also part of a theory. I guess they shouldn't teach that in schools either.

Even more amazingly, we still don't know the difference between "how" and "why"!
I love Slashdot.
At least I know what the word "depart" means. You may have mastered the "witty" come back but you've still got a few words to get down.
They may have meant reactionairy in a more general sense. Although, even then, it's a pretty stupid choice of word.
Oh wait, at first I didn't notice you're an idiot. Silly of me, I shold've figured it out from the way you're a complete tool.

Cocaine. Next time, totally use Cocaine.
Patents are bought and sold like poker chips. So you mean 'not at all'? Because most people bet with poker chips...

Speaking of TFA, am I the only one who thinks that if Christina Aguilera is the type of woman I'm bound to attract I'd rather be less attractive?
And if you play the drums... aw, damnit!

Do they really have to put the little 'x's in the formula? Why not just write it as: [(F(RD + V)) + S]/A?
The fact that people are openly criticizing the mouse is a testament to the lengths people will go to to become pretentious jerks.
