If you think a 128x128 screen is small, they've also had XHTML capability in phones with a 96x65 screen, such as the 3595 for about the past 2 1/2 years now.

Absolutely right. It is the poor, poor, executives that make the sacrifices here in the US while the over fed, over indulgent, over rich workers make out like bandits.
I wish I could collect $65 worth of salary and benefits per hour for turning a screwdriver.
Got a court case to cite in support of your position? Didn't think so. It's just your opinion versus 200+ years of jurisprudence.
Irrelevant. The same "courts" have also said that Amendment V permits private property to be taken for private use.
First of all, money is not speech.
You're right. Giving money is not speech. Giving money is a form of expression.
So you want to "reform democracy" by entirely removing the meager limitations on how the wealthy can influence the political process, thus ensuring that their influence will become even more intractibly entrenched.
If what you said was true, we would be seeing a wider range of choices at the ballots with restrictions on campaign finance, instead of the exact opposite.
As I said, Canada's life expectancy is higher among the same demographics. It is the best measure.
It is not a valid measure, because even within the same demographic groups between nations, there may be differences in lifestyle, culture, etc.
Statistics Canada also does not break down life expectancy statistics by race, it is not possible to compare life expectancies between different racial groups with those of the US.
Uh, no. Fascism is a form of corporatism. It is the antithesis of socialism.
Corporatism is a form of syndicalism - guild socialism. It does not refer to business corporations.
Historically, corporatism or corporativism (Italian corporativismo) is a political system in which legislative power is given to civic assemblies that represent economic, industrial, agrarian, and professional groups. Unlike pluralism, in which many groups must compete for control of the state, in corporatism, certain unelected bodies take a critical role in the decision-making process. These corporatist assemblies are not the same as contemporary business corporations or incorporated groups.
"The word "corporatism" is derived from the Latin word for body, corpus. This original meaning was not connected with the specific notion of a business corporation, but rather a general reference to anything collected as a body.
Canada has no death penalty.
So what happens when somebody exercises his fundamental right to use his resources to open a for-pay medical center in Canada, and rightfully resists all attempts by the State to shut him down?
Do the authorities plead with him? Do they ask him very nicely to stop?
"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling power."
This most likely is a false quote. FDR imposed limited amounts of real fascism; a form of socialism that makes economic dealings subservient to the State.
Gallant is a polite internet citizen. "Wow. This ISO download of Fedora Core 5 is going to take me good long time to download. I've got 25 meg down available right now, but my neighbors on the cable system might need to download some things too. So I'll lower my downstream during daytime hours to half a meg and only go up to 2 megs between 2:00AM and 4:00AM".
Gallant is a simper-wimp and a fool.
If I'm paying for the service, I'll use as much bandwidth as I please at the time of my choosing. If it interferes with other customers, the cable provider can either put a cap on my usage or expand capacity.
Three thousand people get killed because the politicians before you killed millions of non-citizens?
If this was true, the hijackers would have come from nations that were "terrorized by U.S. imperialism" or some such, rather than from Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Fuck, you're stupid. You spend more and don't live as long. That makes your system less efficient and less effective. Period.
Comparing life expectancy amongst different nations is not a valid measure of the effectiveness of health care due to differences in populations, lifestyle choices, etc.
Canada's socialist health system works. Your fascist health system doesn't.
Yes, as fascism is a form of socialism, Canada's "health care" system can be called 'fascist' as well. As per Merriam-Webster:
Main Entry: fascism
1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Health care in Canada can certainly be considered a case of severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition is a fact, as one cannot open up a private clinic and charge for services without being threatened with imprisonment or death by the State.
And I'll bet that they don't live as long, either.
Canadians live longer than Angolans despite their socialist health care system. That Americans spend more per capita on health care is probably because more of it is available in the U.S. with a wider range of options.
"Some aspects of the conventional story are true enough. But it's also true that by 1637 Massachusetts Gov. John Winthrop was proclaiming a thanksgiving for the successful massacre of hundreds of Pequot Indian men, women and children, part of the long and bloody process of opening up additional land to the English invaders."
That is not the origin of Thanksgiving.
Governor John Winthrop is alleged to have written in his journal:
"A day of thanksgiving kept in all the churches for our victories against the Pequots, and for the success of the assembly; but by reason of this latter, some of Boston would not be present at the public exercises. The captains and soldiers who had been in the late service were feasted, and after the sermon the magistrates and elders accompanied them to the door of the house where they dined."
...after the burning of Fort Mystic, an action in which a few hundred Narragansett and Mohegan Indians fought in, during the Pequot War.
This, however, was just one of many days of "thanksgiving" that were proclaimed throughout the colonies.
Suffice it to say, the article you're quoting is nothing more than commie bullshit - distortions and half-truths mixed with outright lies and propaganda.
To insinuate that France is some kind of tech backwater is
Completely correct.
We seldom see people inventing or innovating in France. Those who have good ideas generally go across the English Channel or the Atlantic to implement them.
- Has more poverty than any other 1st world country
That's also complete crap. Again, check out France. Those rioters aren't pissed off because they have jobs, bub.
Hurricane Katrina.....Need I say more...
Compare how much stuff American blacks own with how much stuff African immigrants in France own. Also compare the levels of consumption between the two.
American blacks in New Orleans were probably middle-class compared to African immigrants in France, probably even compared to French citizens.
Another poor fact of yours is about the amount of imprisoned citizens, if I do remember correctly the US tops that list for quite some time now, you in anycase outclass I thought places like NK and China by a large margin.
I think a better start would be to revoke the corporation's right to free speech, and forbid them from contributing to campaigns. Period. Corporations are not people and do not act like people, so we should not let them drive our elections. They are far too able to throw large volumes of cash at election campaigns. They have too much say over how we are governed.
I think a better start would be to revoke the advocacy group's right to free speech, and forbid them from contributing to campaigns. Period. Advocacy groups are not people and do not act like people, so we should not let them drive our elections. They are far too able to throw large volumes of support toward election campaigns. They have too much say over how we are governed.
hm.... what about contemporary france.... or germany... or italy.... or canada.
People in Canada, Germany, Italy and even France still have private property rights in the means of production, but those rights are chained to a greater degree than they are in the US. As a result, there is also significantly less personal freedom and greater police power.

Yeah, well I'll bet people in Angola spend even less on health care than Canada does.

Whether you are being kept in or out depends on the construction of the wall, and which direction the guards and guns are facing.
In America everything is always bigger: The FBI is much bigger than the Stasi and the Walls are much longer and higher...
