  1. College != High School + Booze on Why Students Are Leaving Engineering · · Score: 1

    Why can't people understand this?

  2. Suspects? on Russia's Biggest Spammer Brutally Murdered · · Score: 1

    My best guess is that he was beaten down by someone's enormous penis after taking all those pills he advertised.

    Either that, or he got beaten down by UMERO MUMBA, PRINCE REGENT OF NIGERIA after ripping him off.

    Regardless, I consider it karmic debt paid in full.

  3. Re:Let the Bush bashing begin! on U.S. Scientists Say They Are Told to Alter Finding · · Score: 1


    Lets get this "Bush-Bashing" thing out of the way so we can get back to the real discussion.

    People who don't like Bush come from all colors, creeds, and political viewpoints. Why? Because he's the man in charge, and sometimes the man in charge fucks up bad. If you thought your boss was mismanaging your firm and losing millions of dollars, you and your coworkers would probably demand his head on a platter. Ideologically, I don't see how this is much different.

    When Clinton was in charge, people rode on his ass from day one for any little screw up he did. Even before Lewinsky there was Whitewater and Cattle Futures. Hell, when Bush's dad was in office, people made fun of him for everything from mistakes in the Iraqi war to vomiting on the Prime Minister of Japan's lap. Suddenly, however, if you accuse the president of making a mistake you're promoting an "unabashedly liberal political agenda"? Please.

    Beliefs are not binary states. There is no "us and them," "right and wrong," "liberal and conservative." Any attempt to boil it down to that level is simple-minded and wrong.
