True. But about 98% of them run under the republican ticket.
Umm.. to each their own ignorance. I wager I can name an idiot Democrat for every idiot Republican you can find. I'll even spot you 50 of them. Where do we begin? Barney "I ran a male prostituion ring from my apt." Franks, Janet "civil liberties" Reno, Hillary "Cattle futures investment expert" Clinton, Al "Illegal Fundraisers at Buddhist Temples" Gore? Or, God forbid, his boss? There are tons of Republican examples, but they do NOT outnumber the Democrats.
Republicans have a strong influence on the church.
Which church? Certainly none I've ever been to. What church has been swayed by a politician, let alone a conservative one? I am curious what you mean.
Gary Bauer came to a city-wide church service back in 1995 and bashed the hell out of Clinton, fueling his campaign before he even started...
This is the same Gary Bauer who is going to get a miniscule part of the vote in Iowa tonight, IN SPITE of the fact that IA is filled with religious conservatives. He has negligible support in his party, much less than, say, Jesse Jackson (a preacher) has in his. And Jesse Jackson is an even bigger idiot.
I reiterate, there are morons everywhere, and many of them are state politicians or both stripes.
Arizona is not even close to being the most corrupt state in the USA. They are easily beat by New York, Illinois, California, and the winner by far, Louisiana. Arizona is like the Vatican compared to Louisiana.
Keep in mind, that for a state to be truly corrupt, it needs a bloated, entrenched, and powerful state government. Because of it's libertarian spirit, Arizona fails spectacularly in this regard.
Maybe you're right, and they aren't bad. But traditionally, in America, public school students are mostly free to dress how they like. It would be quite a change to enforce uniforms.
The point is, such sweeping, controversial efforts to control students are not the work of just one party. Both major parties come up with these ideas all the time.
Mr. Dick, it really devalues the significance of historical monstrosities like fascism when you compare it to some silly old lady proposing state laws about internet porn and visitation hours.
This doesn't have anything to do with Republicans, and you know it. There are idiots in all parties. Clinton wanted to put all public school kids in uniforms. The Democratic state legislature in my home state (TN) forbid sorority houses from existing by applying anti-brothel laws to them. Of course fraternities zero restrictions. This law is courtesy of an old "blue hair" Democrat from Nashville.
Stupid politicians are the norm in state politics, no matter the party.
She does have one good point. An alarming number of people, not just in AZ, come to college and dick around for a year, waste their parents' money, and end up getting kicked out. But there is much more to it than same-sex visitation and the internet. Students at good schools study like mad, even though they have similar visitation and internet priveleges.
The point she is missing is students and their families pay for all those services through tuition and taxes. It's not like they're getting something free that should be restricted. When a student signs a housing contract, he is contracting for those services, and paying a bundle for it. There is no "free use of government resources" involved.
Anyway, the article as much as states that her bills, like so many offered by crank legislatures, stand little chance of even coming to a vote, let alone passing.
Well, sometimes it is faster and easier than finding the problem. That might seem incredible, but if you keep good backups you can reinstall everything in two or three hours. Many many smart experienced people have spent more than two or three hours troubleshooting an arcane problem in Windows. Of course it's a heavy-handed solution. But some of us have other things to do.
Having personally seen a couple of destructive installations of AOL 5.0, I can assure you that the problems it can cause are not obvious.
They disagree quickly because a) it is not a new idea at all, since confession over telephone was considered decades ago, and b) obviously (well, obvious to a Catholic) violates the norms of the Sacrament.
Additionally, you don't seem to understand that penance does not equal punishment. Penance is an atonement for the wrong you have done. A sin corrupts you and corrupts the community, even if it is only in a tiny way. A penance is a constructive way to try to change you and the community a little bit for the better. Punishment happens to the unrepentant after they die.
He needed to check his hotmail account (according to the article I read). Yes, hotmail sucks. It's slow (unless you use Outlook), the filters are mostly useless, and the accounts are inundated by AOL-level amounts of spam. But many people sign up for the account when they first begin to use the internet, and don't want the trouble of migrating even after they acquire cluefullness.
Why the hell don't you go to Ohio State? The CS dept here is very good (if you can get in), the facilities are excellent (including our campus networks) and Columbus is not a "hick town" like Oxford. There are a million possibilities here. You should check it out (assuming you haven't).

a) More Republicans than Democrats voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the most important civil rights law of the century? and
b) The only Senator or Representative in office ever to me a member of the KKK is... a Democrat. Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
Your flame only demonstrates your ignorance. What KKK members are you referring to?

Viva la revolution!
He was joking. It's a well-known joke (to people in America, anyway).
What about those Spicey Girls, or whatever.
That is the nastiest picture I've ever seen. Ugh. Time to turn off the computer.
I don't find your mockery of my religion particularly funny.
Cool! I like that. It's amazing that it restores the MBR amd FAT tables perfectly.
When did AOL release an NT client for it's software? They don't have one available on their page. Are you sure you have that right?

Hehe. Oookay, you're right, WV is like another country.

He doesn't mean the real Pope. He means the stupid mock pope, some fellow named Kurt.
I'm from Tennessee and I don't even get you. Who do you think you are? Mark Twain?
They currently use AMD K6-2's in their machines, not Athlons. But they say the 1-Gig Athlon-based machines are coming soon.
hahaha! Every once in a while I love slashdot.

Tongues like so many dead carp? I'm assuming you've seen a tongue. But have you seen a dead carp?
It's also the name of an obscure poetry journal Tooth Fairy News. No kidding.
