Salsa, and tomato sauce are totally different however.
Actually raw tomatoes aren't particularly good for you. They need to be cooked to release the...... umm...... Whatever it's called that you get out of them. I forget.
unless you are actually trying to provoke a physical response so you can kick the shit out of someone, calling people fucking traitors only turns them off to your rap, dig?
I'm sure that you're right, but sometimes I get so frustrated with the scumbags claiming to love this country while maintaining a militant death grip on their ignorance that I lose it a bit.
I shouldn't have to be telling people this crap. It's their most important responsibility bar none to know this stuff.
It's the difference between a citizen and a subject.
Aside from the fact that this is not true at all, this fictional story was hashed all over in the media during the months right after the election.
It was *proven* true. It hasn't been more than briefly mentioned if that. Sure, the ballot irregularities were discussed, but not the fact that thousands of voters were disenfranchised. The company who did it *admitted* it. Not the malice behind it, but the fact of the action. You are a disinformation spreading, lying troll.
The alarmists use Clear Channel as an example of a company that controls radio and will control more under these restriction removals.
The word is not "alarmists" it is patriots. Get it right, traitor.
In truth, Clear Channel controls around 10% of radio stations.
Irrelvant. what is the listener percentage?
These restrictions should be removed, as they cleary abridge "freedom of the press".
In fact the restrictions are the only thing which might allow all viewpoints to be heard. They do not abridge shit. It could only be clear to someone, like yourself, who despises free thought.
Your ignorance and enmity towards freedom is utterly disgusting.
These 6 actually control a tiny fraction of the voices/outlets out there
Bullshit.
Most TV most Radio and most Print are owned by very few conglomerates.
The FCC is working on removing the few remaining restrictions. Given this, they are certainly not free to print anything critical about the traitors running this country. This would prevent any outlet who did print the truth from benefitting from the new proposal for the rape of freedom.
Give me an example of how the United States press is not free.
It was proven that the election in Florida was rigged. 10s of thousands of voters were disenfranchised. This far outweighs 9/11 in importance. It is the worst treason possible in a democratic society. Where was our "free" press?
Bush knew about the terrorist attacks before they happened. Where is the coverage?
Bush did everything in his power to stop an investigation into 9/11. When he was forced into it he tried to appoint Kissinger which is the clearest possible way of screaming out "I'm guilty and trying to cover it up". Coverage was minimal.
So while the press is "free" to maximize profits at the expense of the truth and at the expense of their sacred duty to crawl up the asses of our government and corporations which is the sole reason they are permitted this "freedom", their actions certainly have nothing in common with the common understanding of what the press is there for.
Wow, if you're the same AC you must be a plant. You're certainly a traitor and/or a fool.
The US does have the most free press of any around.
Prove it. You can't because it is a lie.
Compared to just about every other place, there is much less government interference in the media,
Who gives a shit?!? What does this have to do with anything? The 6 organizations which own almost all of the media outlets control what we see. This is not free and it has nothing to do with official government interference. The fact that the people running these organizations buy the government officials and dictate their policies demonstrates the calculated ignorance of your statement. Your disinformation won't work here traitor.
and things are much less centralized (compare this to the United Kingdom, where the dominant electronic media voice is government-controlled).
Compare the content. The BBC has far more complete and accurate coverage of world and National events than all major US news organizations put together. The BBC receives its funding from the people (via the government), but it is run separately. Is it perfect? No. Is it far better than what we have here. Obviously to anybody who's been there.
Please go away and kill yourself and quit trying to excuse the fascist traitors who are fucking up my country you fucking traitor.
The current swing is an opportunistic gambit that has worked so far only because the American people have been solidified by the Sept.11 attacks.
This is correct except for the "only" bit. The fact that your average American is an ignorant coward is another contributing factor. Ignorant because they really are unaware of what is going on all around them. They spew such filth as "We're the most free country around", "We have a free press" and similar when they have no idea if it is true or not. The fact that it is blatantly false just proves the point, but it doesn't matter if it is true or not. The fact that people say it with no way of knowing if it is true or not proves them to be ignorant fools.
Cowards because they refuse to face what is happenning because it is too scary to contemplate that this could happen here. Anyone who doesn't want Bush dead or at least in prison is an ignorant fool, a coward or a traitor. The simple fact that his every justification for the Iraqi invasion was demonstrated *absolutely* to be a blatant lie is proof of this. Let alone all his other criminal, freedom hating actions.
This cannot last.
I'd like to think that this is true, but with near complete control over evey bit of news you see and hear it is nowhere near as certain as you seem to think.
The US is too diverse, holds too many contradictory interests, and is simply too mature a society to actually swallow a coup d'etat. Not because the clique that currently holds power would be afraid to try (I believe they are trying and will continue to) but because they are not the only group with ambition, and as soon as other groups see the opportunity, they will counter attack, and we will be back to the "normal" state of politics - total and utter confusion.
You are forgetting every law the traitor Bush has pushed through. Anybody against the scumbags in power now will have their every move watched. They will be branded terrorists. etc. etc. etc. Why the hell do you think the TIA Homeland security and the rest of that crap was railroaded through?!? There is no way for these to help with their supposed justfications. They were put there for the sole reason of controlling and eventually exterminating dissenting opinion.
Those are great resources, but honestly, saying Bush isn't the US president makes you sound like you're in denial.
No, it makes him sound like he takes his responsibility to be an informed citizen seriously. Unlike yourself who is either ignorant, or intentionally spreading false information.
Bush was elected because of how the political system here was designed, not because he 'cheated'.
Bush was elected for the sole reason that he cheated. 10s of thousands of Niggers (as the republicans like to think of them in private) were barred from voting.
You should gripe about the system behind his victory
That would be what we're doing.
Who would want to re-elect bush if they knew a man came with him who is trying to create a police state?
Again with morons excusing Bush. Bush put Ashcroft there knowing full well that he is purely garbage wrapped in skin. So clearly Bush is the one who wants the police state.
I'll admit, the Republican Party doesn't do what I wish they did 100% of the time, but they are aiming in the general direction.
I'm sorry, but you lost all credibility here.
If you think that a totalitarian system is the right direction, then I hope you die in a horribly painful and grotesque way. Your ignorance and cowardice are dragging our country down into hell. Scumbag piece of shit.
Actually you have to be a black liberal to discuss issues, black conservatives have joined and have been told to sit in the back and shut up.
This is perfectly reasonable though. Any black person stupid enough to be a conservative is dumber than dirt and has no possibility of contributing anything meaningful to the discussion.
Just look at the republican policy on minority voting: "Niggers will not be allowed to vote". See the Florida voter purge.
The scumbag traitors like Strom Thurmond and his ilk.
I took a class early in college that used the textbook 'Transition to Higher Mathematics'. Most of the contents of that book should be covered - sprinkled in - in K-12 math classes.
We used that at UCSB. Great book. The emphasis in it is about how to prove things. It would be a good choice for a younger age group, but it might be frustrating since rigor can be very frustrating. Sometimes the most obvious things are the most difficult to prove.

What the hell is that about! Glad you asked! It's a thing called integrity. It's about having a sense of morality. It's about doing what is right over what is convenient. They are a criminal organization. This is an undisputed fact. It is a fact of law and part of the public record. So given this fact, supporting the commpany financially in any way is supporting criminal activity. Supporting criminal activity is not a bad thing if the law is morally vacant i.e. drug laws and the like, but there it is obvious that there is nothing redeeming in MS's criminal activities.
So that is what it is all about.
Grow up
What a sad sick little person you are. I learned that growing up means standing up for what is right, showing courage in the face of adversity and looking out for those younger and/or weaker than you. You seem to be saying that growing up means giving up on morality and courage and saying "fuck you" to anybody with a scrap of integrity.
So I am quite grown up, but you really need to learn what that means before throwing that out as an insult to anybody who actually has the courage to stand for what is right.
Spending $1300-$2500 for a machine that you use to take notes and check off boxes if fucking insanity. I would rather use a printed tablet or a fucking handheld for that.
Well, if you add in the costs of the data entry, multiply it by some factor of the value per entry. etc... When you are talking, say, UPS, these factors would add up positive at least. If this number exceeds the cost of the machine (support, admin,etc.) in a year (rough conditions) it pays off.
For a pilot, a pre-flight checklist could easily be checked off. Compared to the cost of a plane, the lives of passengers, and that of the pilot $1300-$2500 isn't too bad.
In any of these situations, the person in question would probably have another computer as well. I couldn't use one exclusively.
