Uh, no, I never said that. Nice try. What I'm saying is that forcing someone to have a kid, when they don't *want* a kid, is a life sentence. BIG difference.
The issue here is that most of New Orleans was destroyed AFTER A FLOOD. Not 'a few buildings'. What you're talking about is pre-emptive action against an earthquake. I honestly have no problem letting them live there right now; if an earthquake were to come and destroy the whole thing, and they wanted my tax dollars to rebuild their lost city, I'd tell them to shut the fuck up and move.
Something being in the culture does not make it owned by the people. If you really believe that, please seek psychological help immediately. That's like saying that the NES belongs to the people, or that the Game Gear, since it isn't 'part of the culture' like its counterpart, doesn't belong to the people. Either all abstractions belong to the people, or none do.
Because, sorry pal, there's tons of other people who can do the exact same thing. The thing with copyright is that it *supposedly* allows an artist to receive royalties for a unique, and, let's face it, nebulous object. There's a few reasons why you don't get a stipend.
1) Your creation is not unique (anyone could have made it) 2) Your creation is *not* art or a useful science, at least not in the strictest sense of the word 'art'. 3) You're a whiny bitch, and no one likes whiny bitches. Additionally, if getting a stipend is that important, negotiate it in your contract.
Well, shit, maybe if you didn't try to force your shit on everyone else...
Seriously, the pro-life movement is the only group in the history of the world who promote what is essentially a life sentence for NOT committing murder. Nice job.
You know how long my girlfriend has been waiting to get a simple imaging done on her leg? Over 3 years. For her, 18.3 weeks would be a fucking godsend. And yes, this *is* in america.
Yes, because I really *asked* and *wanted* everyone in the damn school to constantly make degrading remarks about me. I was *used* to people picking on me, but the moment it became the whole school, it was infinitely worse.
I've noticed something, though. Usually, people who think that those who are getting harassed need to 'grow up' or 'grow a pair' or whatever bullshit they spew, are/were bullies at some point.
Until you've wanted to kill yourself, all the fucking statistics in the world and all the kings men will not do a damn thing to dissuade anyone who *has* been there.
This is more than just bullying; this is outright exploitation leading to death.
The assholes who bullied me didn't exploit any weaknesses to make me feel terrible; this woman actively went out of her way, even creating *fake* personas, to torment this poor girl. This is way more than bullying. While I agree murder is a bit much, this woman should be given... dammit, what's it called when you accidentally kill someone due to being an idiot?
No. People shouldn't 'have' to learn to 'deal with it'. This shit just plain shouldn't happen. And you know what? It's not a lack of backbone in the victim's case. It's that some crazy bitch with a fucked up vendetta against this girl, for whatever reason, exploited her weaknesses to the extent that the girl killed herself. While not murder, as she didn't pull the trigger, she is certainly culpable for doing more than her fair share for making this girl commit suicide.

Riiiiiight... sorry, medicare doesn't cover everything. It's not the same as the insurance you get as a federal government agent.
I'll say it again:
The pro-life movement is the only movement in the history of the world who advocate a life sentence for *not* committing murder.
Way to totally misinterpret. I meant most of the places *in New Orleans* where jazz got its start.

New Orleans isn't the home of jazz anymore; it's just a ghetto now. Most of the great places where jazz got its start are gone now.
schindler's list looks neat. I'll go read it sometime.
Agreed, although we shouldn't be forced to think that doing the right thing is so rare that we must laud it.
Still, good job.

Thank you, I was just about to say that.
Profit margin is the same thing here.

As a person, I love the idea.
As a future accountant, I fucking hate it. Make extra work for me, why don't you.
Yeah, it should, considering he is one of the most influential SF writers to date. Slashdot loves scifi, so, we love to hear about this stuff.
There's a reason why Foundation and Dune come up a lot.
Yeah, because the reason the average 'time-to-own' is four minutes is because the researchers were fucking with the wrong people and sites.
Does he mean it will also run on linux? I doubt it...
Sounds ... cheesy...
Well, shit, maybe if you didn't try to force your shit on everyone else...

Thank you. Just hope you don't get bitched at like I did when I pointed out this distinction.
Mine is costing 48k ... :\ and that's just for a 4-year degree. I swear, if the fucking government doesn't hire me, I'll kill myself.
You know how long my girlfriend has been waiting to get a simple imaging done on her leg? Over 3 years. For her, 18.3 weeks would be a fucking godsend. And yes, this *is* in america.
So... if that's their reason, they should have said it. Seriously.
If you think people are getting more literate, I'd like to move in with you. It sounds wonderful in fantasy land!

Then I guess some people just take real life 'too fucking seriously' as well.
