    True. As long as Evangelicals and other Christians listen and do as ministers tell them, we're screwed. We need to promote critical and free thought in schools. It may slow down the destruction of our society and maybe the world. All over some bullshit chapter from a book.

    just don't be surprised that when you get what you want you will be ending up living in a world full of chaos, no freedom, and the opposite of what you think you would be getting if God, Righteousness, Justice, and Truth are taken away. We're aware of the dangers of Evangelicals. The only love that is true love comes from God, period. I'm freaky but that is too much. I'll stick with my gf. you can love someone without agreeing with them You never been to one of my family's holiday get togethers, have you?

    But emailing Bush doesn't do anything either so he must be a peon by your logic.

    No matter what, I can't convince him to: ban marriages between cousins (I live in a red state), admit he is gay, pimp slap Rice like a ghetto ho, attend AA meetings, resign due to lack of intelligence, and visit the Iraqi frontlines.

    I email my guys till the email servers dies. All I get are letters saying that they promote religious freedom, privacy, 90's patent standards, and no, they aren't gay nor do they plan to resign in shame. That is what I get for living in a state that loves Republicians.

    The Dems don't want to eliminate stupidity in government, they just want to shift it around.

    Wait a minute! You can't shift intelligence in government if it isn't there. Next time, vote Green.

    That's like Richard Stallman working for the Patent Office!

    At least it wouldn't be so broke that would allow me to patent the grants of patents or patent texts that reveal religious doctrine.

    Why couldn't we do that in the first Gulf War? Oh yeah, UN. First Bush lacked balls and imagination to use SpecOps or to have "accidental" launches of experimental missiles.

    If they're so great, why do they still continue to use faulty hard drives that fail after 6 months? If they are so smart, why do they stick with Intel only and refuse to use AMD's 64 bit CPUs for desktops? If they are so great, why can't I understand they're Indian techs?

    In short, Dell can bite me.

    China may win once companies get sick of India's shit. Jobs will leave India for China and they can join us in "they stole my job" rants while American CEOs are buying mansions for their dogs.

    Yes. Considering companies now prefer Indian employees over Americans, I think India can easily out do us. Send more jobs there and we can trade world status.

  18. Re:While we're fantasizing ... on Red Hat Promises A More Vibrant Fedora · · Score: 1, Interesting
    With Fedora, you download four CDs worth of stuff, the majority of which the average user just plain doesn't need. But, Fedora is not organized such that the basic essentials are grouped on the first CD, making the other three extraneous.

    With yum or apt for Fedora, shouldn't they just have it all on one CD and allow the user or admin install aps later? Makes more sense and allows admins/users to decrease the amount of plastic/aluminium.

    What the hell is with the attack on the parents?

    What the hell is with the attack on anything parents don't like? I hated our last presidential election since it brought out Christianity to the front and now we have to deal with their "morals". Teach it to your kids and see how much better they wil be. Stop buying M rated kids for 2 yo.

    What's wrong with people that they think a game that allows you to beat up women, shoot cops and steal cars is fun?

    It has elements of crime that we can't do in real life. I use it mostly for Buddhist exercises. Play game, notice my reaction to game, understand reaction to game, remove attachment to reaction to game, no influence from game. Simple.

    Sure, there are influences coming from everywhere - school, neighborhood, good kids, bad kids, movies, politicians, games, Internet, TV, you name it. But if we (parents) fail to build trust and respect with our children to the point where children get 'raised' by any of the above, we have miserably failed and we are the ones to take full responsibility to whatever bad thing happens as a consequence.

    A true American parent. You make me proud. If I could give you a Parent's Medal of Honor, I would.
