What if we were to limit the total number of patents?
The obvious result would be a new market in selling patent slots. You would have to *know* that you could make your investment back before applying because the patent itself would cost so much.
It would decrease the number of frivilous patents filed, but the small inventor would be at a disadvantage.
What do you think, would it be a positive, negative, or a push?
I believe the prosecutor is required by law to turn over excuplatory evidence to the defence.
Ah, but can you prove that they knew and didn't turn it over? There are certainly decent people in the DAs office, but most people who go into prosecution are looking towards a political career. They can only further that by winning. Regardless of the guilt or innocence of those involved. Lawyers generally are very competitive and for a lot of them it's a game. The score is kept by cases won or lost and they intend to win.
Iraq may well have been a secular country, but it was hardly "non-terrorist.
I meant uninvolved in any attacks on the US. I did misspeak on that point.
But.. communicating and coordinating with 9/11 planner Mohammed Atta?
Bullshit. It never happened. George Bush himself finally admitted (after propagandizing wildly) that there was never any involvement between Iraq and 9/11.
As is typical, you ignored the point that you can not respond to to launch an attack based, in part, on lies. Typical.
Even that assumes that Fox News is "extremist right wing," which you would realize is false if you had ever watched it. Making the same claim for CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, etc. is even more absurd. You would have to be to the left of Lenin to conjure up a claim like that.)
Not at all. For any of these organizations to even be remotely centrist, they would be reporting on the major stories of the day rather than sweeping them under the rug to the benefit of the current administration. Did you see them report on the fact that Jeb Bush had his Sec State illegaly remove 10s of thousands of mostly black mostly democratic voters from the Florida voter rolls prior to the 2000 election?
Well, it's a fact. It had been admitted. The innocent citizens have yet to have their fundamental right returned. Where was the media outcry? If there was even a hint of integrity, let alone left leaning, in any of the major media outlets, that story would have been front page until GW was removed from the office he usurped.
To say Fox news isn't extremist right wing is just ridiculous.
Not to mention you replied with hate to a JOKE. Isn't that what hatemongering is?
Where was the hate?
Fuck, man, go smoke a joint or something. Drink a beer. You have way too much stress.
I do both occasionally. That won't make reality go away though. If you are not stresed out by the situation Bush and Co have put this country in, then you have not been paying attention.
I am of the opinion that REAL reason you said this (beyond your political bias) is because the broadcast is only available in 11 areas + satellite, you know few people listen to it, and fewer still take notes on it to find inaccuracies that are made
Well, your opinion is wrong. I don't have a political bias. I am a patriot, therefore I hate GW, and I want him impeached, and his entire administration. Now, it's one of the most hate mongering aspects of the right wing nutters that they have managed to make disagreeing with your governments actions with "partizanship" and "treason". I think the 2 party system is the single biggest obstacle to freedom in America. GW and the republicans have betrayed this country. How could a patriot not hate them of whatever political persuasion?
Shit, just listen to Rush Limbaugh with people of different political swayings -- the conservatives will listen and nod, because Rush is telling them what they already know and take as fact, just in a more intelligent & fluent way than they would have themselves. The Liberals will listen to him and think "this guy's an idiot, how would anyone make a connection like THAT?" Now, change that to a Liberal speaker and the roles reverse almost exactly.
The difference is that Rush blatantly lies. Al Franken and Randy Rhodes have both taken things he (and various other Extremist mouthpieces) have said and taken them apart point by point with evidence. If Rush had a scrap of integrity, he would refuse a lawyer and demand the maximum penalty for his drug crimes. But, like during Vietnam, he once again proved himself a coward.
Regardless of who they are, they generally provide solid evidence and proof of what they say. You will not find that on Rush, or any of those other extremists.
It also assumes that what you consider "the most important issues facing us today" are the same issues important to the rest of us.
Name me on thing more important (to any decent American) than the destruction of democracy in America.
I'm sick of hearing that people who don't care about something are somehow bad. For instance, homelessness. I don't care about it. Not my fault, not my responsibility. That doesn't make me a bad person. If I went around kicking the homeless out of their boxes, then I would be a bad person.
Certainly. I mean, you couldn't call yourself a good person either, but you're not a bad person. You're morally ambiguous
What we are doing in Iraq right now is kicking the homeless out of their boxes.
Globalism and the mass priviatization of utilities is kicking the homeless out of their boxes.
Bush only won the election because Jeb's Sec State illegally (and violently anti Americanly) threw 10s of thousands of mostly black voters off of the voter rolls. You don't see that in the mainstream media though, do you? Even though they got busted, they still have not reinstated the innocent citizens voting rights.
But you probably don't care about any of that either.
If that's true, you still might not be a bad person, but you would sure as hell be a bad American.
Your signature implies that certain people are hatemongers simply due to their political affiliation.
It in no way implies that. Certain people are hate mongerers because they spread hate. Calling people who opposed invading Iraq "Traitors"?!?!? That is hate mongering. Especially given that we now know that the administration lied to start this war for reasons of their own which they have yet to share with the
Hmmm... The best you can come up with is a joke? Nice. Since you knew it was a joke, that could hardly classify as a lie.
Wacked out theory? I suppose that you have some theory as to why we took over Iraq (a secular non-terrorist country) in response to Osama and some other Saudis attacked us? Every reason we have been given by the president turned out to be a lie. So what's your "conspiracy theory"?
Wow, a joke from Jay Leno. Of course, that ignores the fact that all of the major news services are either extremist right wing, or either silent or extremely favorably slanted on issues critical of this administration.
And, of course, you are incapable of providing an example of either ignorance or hatemongering by said station. This would be because such an example does not exist.
It makes me wonder what kind of sick agenda you are pushing that you are taking childish potshots at the one media outlet that actually reports on some of the most important issues facing us today.
Try informing yourself rather than spewing obvious lies. It might manage to elevate you to being a decent human being.
Now, add Christianity and Judiasm as well, and you will be (mostly) correct.
Wow, what an ignorant and intolerant statement.
How is this either ignorant or intolerant?
Ignorance is not knowing something. Anyone with a scrap of sense knows that all of these religions have as part of their beliefs that they are god's special ones.
Pointing out a fact is neither ignorant nor intolerant.
I see you prefer the old say "no it's not" trick to actually addressing the point.
Actually I wonder when a version that is capable of destroying small arms fire will be out. When the technology reaches this level troops will be almost invulnerable to many forms of attack including snipers.
At this point, it would be much easier to individually target each member of the opposing army. It would be more effective to just pick off the officers. Better yet, just take out whichever bastards at the top who started the damn thing in the first place.
I don't question my beliefs after watching Fox news (or CNN on the other side)
CNN is nowhere near "the other side" of Fox. CNN is moderately right of center. Fox is the extremist reactionary propaganda wing of the Republican party.
Please try and get an understanding of where the sides actually are.
Come on, get it right. The island was called Theta up until Xenu blew it up with Hydrogen bombs which is why you're full of the souls of dead aliens (Body Thetans).....or something..
The Liberal Media [airamericaradio.com] Finally a response to ignorant hatemongerers. Staffed completely by ignorant hatemongerers.
Nice try, but if you actually listened to it you would know that they debunk lies with *facts*. This demonstrates that they are not ignorant. Nor do they promote hatred, unlike psychopaths like Ann Coulter et al.
As with most real conservatives, we disagree with the sitting president.
What a horrible choice is left to us come November.
Maybe it's not as bad as you think. The parties have switched their platforms while retaining their names before. The Republicans were the ones who freed the slaves and gave them the right to vote. Civil rights issues like these are now Democratic policies.
Small government is part of the Republican platform, but no longer part of their actions. Clinton decreased government and balanced the budget which are big conservative issues.
Maybe the parties have shifted enough that your values are more in line with those of the Democratic party?
In England they use both gestures. The single middle finger is considered ruder than the two fingers. Believe me, I lived there for 8 years and was on the recieving end of manys a one!
Irrelevant trivia follows:
Historically, two fingers are far worse. The middle finger means basically "fuck off". England was famous for the long bow back in the day. After the Norman conquest, they would cut off one of the fingers from potential troublemakers so they could no longer draw their bow. Showing those two fingers was their way of saying watch your ass because I'm gonna put a cap in it. (Well arrow really, but you get the point)
I don't know if I speak for anyone else, but I think I 'd have larger concerns than the quality of my audio, if I was cruising at 252...
Sure, so would I. Like keeping my hands on the wheel and my eyes on the road.....which is tough to do if you have to turn up the volume to hear it over the engine;-)
Don't innundate me with non-reputable sources The sources are perfectly reputable. You obviously have no interest in changing your world view which is contrary to the facts.
Obviously, if Bush had grasped at that moment that there was an attack going on, he might have been able to do more to stop it--but he didn't get it.
So your take on the situation is that he didn't get it?!? Then the best case that can be made for him is that he is utterly incompetent and he should be impeached for dereliction of duty. Every plane in this country is tracked by radar. They knew the other planes were hijacked before he entered the classroom. He is the only person in the country with the authority to order a commercial airliner shot down and he consciously chose to take himself out of the loop.
You're very forgiving of total incompetence on the part of the President. Why do I think you probably thought the Clinton impeachment over a blow job was justified, but you forgive incompetence that lead to thousands of deaths.
Ancillary to this is the fact that the administration as a whole was not expecting a terrorist attack of this sort
I'd love to see you try and prove that bullshit. I already proved it isn't true.
so when Bush heard of the crash he assumed it was an accident.
So he assumed the second attack was an accident too?
You are more interested in making excuses for Bush than being a good American.
You are an idiot and a troll. I'm sorry I bit. Nice job.

You could do all that... or you could just replace the car with something that has survival instincts. Like a horse.
Too easy.
We'll just coat the world in nerf and drive off of anything at 100 miles an hour.

Well, maybe.
What if we were to limit the total number of patents?
The obvious result would be a new market in selling patent slots. You would have to *know* that you could make your investment back before applying because the patent itself would cost so much.
It would decrease the number of frivilous patents filed, but the small inventor would be at a disadvantage.
