  1. Re:Media AI source code - All presidents do it... on Watergate "Deep Throat" Mark Felt Dead At 95 · · Score: 1

    I totally agree but there is a reasonable amount of uncertainty, it took decades before the Freedom of Information Act gave us the whole story on FDR's knowledge of the impending attacks by the Japaneses. So to dismiss even half-baked conspiracy theories due to lack of evidence is wholly untenable. The government's job is to deceive, inveigle, and obfuscate to bend the people to the will of the world. If nothing else perhaps Bush isn't a monster (although I can't stand him either) but rather was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, making decisions most presidents in the same position would agree with. I've got no evidence to speak of, unless you want a link to Loose Change on You Tube... ...but I'll spare you.

    Hate him, love him, you'd probably do the same.

    More like a game of chess, you allow certain pieces to fall than swoop in for the kill. I'm not saying these decisions don't have consequences just that the people in charge may really be making rational decisions. However scary that may sound.

    (whatever about Bush, I think he genuinely believed his pretext, that Iraqi WMDs existed)

    He might have believed that but still allowed al-Qaeda to attack the Twin Towers to get us into the Middle East, not unlike FDR allowing Pearl Harbor to be attacked to gear up American for war back than. All in all they all do it and it's only politics.

    No, we just wonder why the hell you commute so much. I'd never take a job that required me to waste 4 hours of my life daily just going to and from it. I don't agree with you but it is a terrible waste of otherwise important resources. Gas mostly...

    "To transform the facade of a five-story building into a photocatalytic surface would add only 100 or so euros ($120) to the cost of a traditional paint or plaster,"

    so a 100-story building would cost 2400 or so dollars (2000 euros) not really a huge dent in any corporate fat-cat's pocket. So I really don't see why any huge companys wouldn't want to change over to this new form of concrete when there next round of building maintenance comes up, besides it's good publicity which alone makes it worth more than the initial cost.

  11. court marshall harassment on Citizen Photographers v. The Police? · · Score: 1

    how to make a long story short, I had a court date for 11:00am I arrived at the court house at 9:30am at 11:30am I got in line with the rest of the room to see if we had missed of call to speak to the judge. When it was my turn to speak the the court marshall he quick flicked though the papers and to me I wasn't in them and I'm not supposed to be in the court house that day. I tried to show him my letter inviteing to court, at which point he turn all Mr. Hyde on my and dragged me outta the room by my shirt neck. I tried showing him the letter again in the hallway he responded with, "How would you like it if I punched your fucking teeth out!" and then walked away leaving me to figure out what I had done wrong. lucky the prosecutor was walking back in side the the room so I stopped her and explained that I'd been here for 2 hours and now the marshall thinks I'm not supposed to be here. She took me inside walked right up to the front of the room and found my paperwork in the wrong pile and the got my case going right than and there. Being alittle upset at the marshall I decided to tell the judge what had just happened outside the courtroom Which got a very loud "I DID NO SUCH THING" from the marshall. The judge instructed me to go tell the head marshalls offfice if Ifelt there needed to be a complaint filed. This is finally the funny part when I got there they couldn't have acted I stress acted any sweeter too me there even barrow a few blank sheets of paper from a near by copier and a felt tipped red marked so I could write the whole thing down. Now for those at home take a blank peice of paper and write on it with a large red marker believe you'll look like a jackass. Well thats feels good to vent. if anyones wondering that happened in New Haven, CT and I was there for a speeding ticket.

  13. so college kids binge drink on Immaturity Level Rising in Adults · · Score: 1

    -Brooks believes such individuals have lost the wisdom and maturity of their bourgeois predecessors due to more emphasis placed on expertise, flexibility and vitality.

    I haven't gone to college and sure I gained some insight of the lost wisdom & maturity and I've seen the other side of the fence and it is a drunken sex-fest of sweet sweet immaturity(runnn onnn sentences see kids stay in scool:)..! but a new type of maturity has risen from the ashes of this -short attention span, sensation and novelty-seeking, short cycles of arbitrary fashion and a sense of cultural shallowness- youth. This new bred of persons are the real heroes they didn't cut-n-run while they watched everyone around them act like drunken animals. No they stayed, they made a difference, they gave good advice, support, hell I'm sure someone out there probably even turned down some easy drunk sex with a stranger just to adhere to some moral sense of decency(look nothing wrong with being drunk and haveing sex u know when it's right or when your just taking advantage of some poor sap) or put their body on the line to protect those in need even if it makes them a social outcast, and they do these deeds for no rewards those people are truly wise & mature. I hope we can all take a page outta their book! :) fuck even if you haven't done any of that shit you'll be ok just sit back and enjoy the abuse your partner for 30seconds, crack open another beer on me, and piss caution to the wind after all you just miight be president someday....
