If we had the day off then everyone would take Monday off and head out of town last Friday for a nice four-day vacation and even fewer people would vote than do now.
Text-only alternatives aren't accessible unless you have a computer. Come on, just because you need a free plugin doesn't make it inaccessible. JK Rowling's site uses Flash in such a way that the screen readers can actually read the flash content.
I don't know about you, but I've been terrified by the bombing. How did the Iraqi insurgents get all the way to PayPal headquarters? They could be in my bedroom right now!
That's a pretty funny joke. I can't imagine why you got modded 'Interesting' instead. Unless you and the mods actually want to know about how dental care was done in Egypt back then, in which case, my bad. I still think it's kind of funny, though. You know, in a "why couldn't they have raided the Egyptian Porn Stars' tombs" kind of way.
I started to read your post but then it was too long and I couldn't figure out what to do with all that plain text (not one single flash file in your whole damn post!) so I ran off to Starbucks to get a nice Grande No water Extra Chai Chai (because chai is like tea, right?) but on my way I tripped in my baggy pants (looked pretty damn good while doing it, too) and by the time I got back there was a new lead story on/. so I read that instead. So what was your point again? And be sure to sum it up in four words or less. I remember it had something to do with Starbucks.
That's a lame analogy: who is the shepherd? You know what their role is, right? To sell those sheep to be slaughtered and eaten, or have their wool shorn off, and then slaughtered and eaten. He'll probably cook and eat a few sheep himself, probably giving the scraps to his sheepdog. The shepherd is the one who controls both the sheep and the sheepdog, and sometimes kills the wolves himself with his shotgun. Which, according to your analogy, makes him a sheepdog.
Or maybe the shepherd is the guy who leaves the flock to their own devices and has tons of forbidden monkey sex with the other manly shepherd back at camp. Either way, when the sheepdog is off duty I guarantee you that he'll just go back to licking his own balls.
Great. Does this mean we'll have to invade Iceland for their hydrogen now? It will be tough to do it under the cover of 'regime change' this time--I don't think Iceland even has a government, let alone a dictator (liberate Iceland!). Maybe we can claim that they're ignoring UN inspections or something. I mean, when was the last time the UN got to inspect Iceland? They could be doing anything up there with all that 'hydrogen' power. You don't know.
Sure, but they're going about it all wrong. Everyone knows that the way you ensure secure computers is to make a proprietary OS and don't tell anyone where your buffer overflows are.
What I don't get is all the people telling parents that they should monitor their kids behavior instead of letting the government regulate content (like GTA) then getting cranky when parents actually monitor their kids behavior and ask for the tools to do so.
I'm not asking you to live in a child-proof world, but I'm telling you that I have the right to child-proof my world for my kids. I'll do whatever I can to monitor and control their content, from TV to video games to the internet because it's not just my right but it's my responsibility as a parent to my child.
Incidentally, karate isn't going to help with most of your straw man bullet points anyway--are they supposed to karate chop a car speeding towards them? And it's not like monitoring internet usage is going to take much time, and it's for sure not the only thing I'll do to keep my kids safe until they can keep themselves safe on their own.
Ah, I see--we're using words that mean different things based on context. So the new "Silent Majority" is the actual majority of silent people now instead of the very vocal minority using the term back in the 80's and 90's.
Reminds me of how Lenin set up the Bolsheviks (major party) against the much larger Mensheviks (minor party). I guess these days they call that 'framing'.
We could call it Operation Enduring Information Freedom.
I for one think that the Information will greet us as liberators and won't devolve into civil war or widespread insurgency. Once the Information is freely flowing, this war on DRM should pay for itself!

Tons and tons of porn. And mp3s. And some spam for dessert.
And make sure he patents 'truthiness'.
This thing is powered by waves. Bigger storm surge waves will mean even MORE fresh water!

I should really think a bit longer before I post. I passed up a great opportunity to talk about fleecing and pulling the wool over their eyes.
I bet if there's enough money involved, they'll ram it through anyway.

Ha, ha. You're a tardis.
How much do hitmen charge for dog fucking?

Dumb ass. Everybody knows that it's the lack of pirates that causes global warming.
Too...many....jokes...about...title...

I need a new ringtone.
The U.S. Postal Service does a pretty darn competitive job despite congressional oversight.

'New'? They've always been the silent majority.
Surely you're not accusing the Chinese of anything like piracy?
OK, besides roads, aqueducts, public education and popularity, what, exactly does youtube have that can't be easily copied?
