I hate to be the ubiquitous Kelsey-Grammer Nazi, but oh... what the hell...
PLENTY of WHITE people have been hung in the US, I'd dare say more whites that black have been hung in our nation's history
Well, the ladies often describe me as being hung (at least in my dreams)
But thank goodness I have not yet been hanged. (except perhaps IN my dreams)
I recall, with particular amusement, the anchor of a major U/S/ news network describing Saddam Hussein as being "hung" - this was after Saddam had been hanged.
Golly! How did this brave anchorman know? Did he go in there and pull down Saddam's pants while the poor beast was still swinging?
Nice to know, however, that you think that more "white" guys are hung than "black" guys! Kinda evens up the score a bit, huh?. But what about Asians?
I suspect this 'technology reporter' wasn't around in the '80s and hasn't read any history of technology, which makes me wonder how he or she is considered qualified for the title.
You actually "wonder" about this journalistic claptrap?
Figure of speech, I assume
20 people on the street? Turing ?
LOL. Why don't you try Schrodinger, Neumann, Claude Shannon, Bohr, Norbert Weiner, etc etc... ad scientificum
Face it dolt. Those "20 people" would also have a tough time telling you who V. S. Naipaul or Orhan Pamuk are.
But then, you know who they are.
Well, do ya, punk?
Well, what about MichaelAngelo, and Leonardo?
(or was it Galileo?)
No matter! Bring forth the fromage de la jour apologies!
And STOP SQUIRMING!
Look me straight in the eye now, you disgusting worm...and APOLOGIZE!
You are responsible for my negative/. karma aren't you, my lad?
I knew it!
I think everyone should be entitled to an apology!
Particularly from those people who are always wringing hands and squirming.
Better apologize to me now you whitebread Christian folk. You know who you are!
- A person who has suffered. At your hands!
You know who you are. Don't you!
( PS - a small cash contribution to me might be appropriate, just to keep this apology on the up'n'up)
Those Japaese whaling ships are not out there catching whales because of dire poverty (like the cod-fisermen of Newfoundland - Canada's shame) but because-
Because the Japs WANNA eat the whale meat- so it brings in big bucks. And the Japanese government supports this desecration.
Much as Canada's "democratic" politicians supported the cod fishery untim the last cod was gone. And the chuckling Newfoundland politicians retired on a fat government pension. (Guess which fisheries minister I'm talkin aboot, bay)
The Jap fisheries minister couldn't care less, either. Hey, he's a politician. And it's a democracy. Right? At least in this case, he has the "scientists" on HIS side- Not like dem pointy-headed scientists in Ottawa This time the scientists agree- it is whale "scientific research". Yum!
And you think they are gonna go out there and fish for PLASTIC? For a salary? Gimme a break.
Democracy: Evil, but still less evil than all other forms of government, to paraphrase W.Churchill... Yeah, sure.
And what if they DID find it?
Would they somehow be "damaged"? Would they need "counselling?
Just exactly why do you care about a child seeing a woman's breast? Or for that matter, a penis.
But then of course, you wouldn't perchance be looking at homo penis porn would you? Hmmmnn?
No one has ever satisfactorily explained this situation to me.
Seems to be a uniquely American conundrum.. Ahhh, America!
It was called the "Penny-Farthing" because of the ridiculous small wheel and the ridiculous large wheel.
The big wheel had no gearing AFAIK, so you had to REALLY lay on the leg-muscles.
Now.. lesseee.. I'm not a Brit so which was the "Penny"? I seem to remember UK pennies as bieng quite large and HEAVY!
I remember being in London during the 1960s, and the only place that would take my damn pocketful of pennies (my pants were about to fall down) was a slot-machine arcade.
Now, presumably all road bicycles are known as Euro-Euros.
Why would you want to "put litter in it is place"?
Stop using apostrophes, you GrammarNazi failure!
If you are not sure, DO NOT use any apostrophes at ALL! ANYWHERE! Grrr....
Apostrophes are reserved ONLY for those whose first language is English. Got it?
My apologies, if your first language is not English. But sadly, I suspect it is.
Why is South Korea allowed to launch space vehicles, and if North Korea does this, they are condemned by uhh.. . OK, by the USA. And Japan and.. uhh... South Korea?
Can only the USA toadies be allowed to launch ICBMs?
However, one group of people who would disagree with you are the police.
Many police depts have come out in favour of reducing drug penalties.
It would make their lives easier. There is less chance of being shot by someone possessed by reefer madness, than by someone who is drunk.
Some (notably USA cops) however want to keep the status quo. And even insanely want to INCREASE penalties for possession.
Of course, could possibly some of their narc jobs and retirement funds be at stake?
Einstein was right: "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
This, of course, was thought out while he was being madly stung, back when he had that summer job as a bee-keeper...
It's not a torus; it's a Klein bottle.
And it's full of Pinoqachole.
Now, - how do you drink from it? Go figure.
The world, as we know it, has not yet ended.
Not yet...
Well!
Can it be true? Is the average US person's IQ inverse to their body weight?
America, all your fat is belong to us!
And Bill Maher confirms this
Heh heh.. Enjoy your Republican health care. See ya in the morgue.
Hello, Spengler!
Yes, I remember Canada shipping Nuclear technology and Nuclear reactors to India 40 years ago.
I heard the other day that India just launched an atomic submarine WITH nuclear missiles on it.
LOL! Canada can't even keep its second-hand diesel subs afloat!
And the ladies wanna shut down our 2 or 3 "evil" Nuclear reactors.
And - the other day, South Korea launched a big Icebreaker. South Korea!
Umm... like where's their Arctic? Take a guess.
Meanwhile, the Canadian government is, gosh! "Talking" about building a big icebreaker 10 years from now. Talking. We gotta protect our Arctic!
This simply means an election is coming. That's all.
My son is in engineering school. When I suggested he might be interested in Nuclear Engineering, he replied "Why? So I can go get a job in India or China at $9/hr?"
The ladies of Canada seem intent upon restoring our rightful place as hewers of wood and drawers of water.
And with it comes slavery of one form or another.

I told that to my ex-wife, and look where it got me.

I sincerely trust that is Fair-Trade coffee! (at least in your case)

Oh Sorry! I should have said SWHTVOM

Strangely enough, she happens to be a big fan of K. D. LANG

Which is the "dark side"?
Or is this an attempt at irony?
I assume you are being ironic. /.ers didn't get it)
If so, (whoooshhh... your fellow

Exactly.
So then, just what IS wrong with this argument?
1. It didn't work.
2. It still doesn't work. Sheeesh!
Perhaps you'd like to also ban cigarettes, fast-foods, and let's face it- ALL fatty meat.
