Why...that's just like being satisfied that gasoline has gone down to $3.60/gallon from $4.20+.
You think you're getting a bargain until you remember the days of ~$1/gallon.
No, the mentality of the few radicals we are fighting doesn't apply to all radicals in the world. I don't know of their motivations, but heres a little translation of something Osama said http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/10/29/bin.lade n.transcript/
Heres a quote:
Contrary to what [President George W.] Bush says and claims -- that we hate freedom --let him tell us then, "Why did we not attack Sweden?"
I've seen better transcriptions but i can't find them now
The current group of fanatics we are fighting feels anyone who is not a member of their culture/religion is not worthy to live and must be killed
Actually...no. It was the philosophy of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Sayid Qtyb (sp?) the leader, also a teacher of Osama Bin Laden, that the western cultures who were responsible for the artificial creation of the middle east(Israel, Iraq...) should pay for the humiliation. Osama knows his history. He didn't just attack cuz he doesn't like coke and a big mac.
How can you be too young to know Alice's Restaurant? It's impossible to turn on the radio anytime around thanksgiving and not hear it on atleast 3 stations at once.
Oh and to add to that, I feel the same as the above poster about the basics. It seems like people my age don't even get half the references they see on TV, movies, etc outside school...and can't even read their own hand writing in school. It's really sad, almost to the point that it's depressing. Go with the books, you can't go wrong.
And these "pencils" and "paper" you speak of...people once used these? Excuse my ignorance, I'm only 17
But in my opinion children shouldn't really have techology given to them so young. Let them ask you how it works. If they never get into it, well then it wasn't meant to be. I think inquisitive, mechanical types are born, not made
Just my luck...I'll be in school taking the friekin SAT's all day. By the time I get out, the stores'll be sold out:(
Oh Well, maybe it's time i re-arrange my priorities.
Sorry, wrong article:) But i can't find the one I was looking for. I believe it was MIT who designed an arm that a man who was paralyzed could control with his mind, and so far could turn on a TV

I forget who said it but the paperless office is about as likely as the paperless toilet, get used to it.
Apparently this guy's never used this
That's why I'm glad I live in the Live Free or Die state
Amen
