you do know that since the civil rights era, republicans have been all about representing the intolerant, invasive (explatives deleted) the dixie-crats abandoned?
yes... a doomsday scenario is unfolding before our eyes. Now how can we make a profit out of it ?
You mock, but that's how a tenacious species survives: by engaging in evolutionary judo.. turning the weight of misfortune into a boon.
Please don't mistake this for social darwinism, which IS disgusting and underhanded, as it's nothing more than justification for theft and exploitation.
You do realize they also credit massive volcanic rifts forming and breaking up rodinia for the melting of snowball earth.
Rodinia apparently fubar'd the oceanic currents moving between the tropics and the poles, causing snoball earth.
Eventually though, the area the continent covered resulted in heat buildup from the mantle below, culminating in massive volcanic fissures which broke the continent apart in massive eruptions which belched molten rock and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Yeah.. because..you know.. when the seeds for this were sown in 1994.. the congress wasn't.. you know.. republican controlled
Yeah.. because..you know.. when the seeds for this were sown in 1977 the Congress was Democrat controlled and it was signed by a Democrat president. In 1995 President Clinton made regulatory changes (no need for the consent of the Republican Congress) that put the program on steroids, paving the way straight to our current crisis. It was after this that FM/FM started taking on the risky loans to comply with the heightened standards.
Bush tried to fix this in 2003, but the Democrats killed it. "These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis." -- Barney Frank D-MA, while opposing stricter oversight.
Seriously, next think you know the secretary of state for the bush administration and the heads of the christian coalition and the mackinac conservative think tank are going to announce the LHC is developing weapons of mass destruction, and we're dispatching a carrier group to the area.
One person governed a state with a very low population, a massive influx of money from the oil trade, and the least divisive population in the US. Governorship of Alaska is a sinecure.
The other was on the floor of the most important legislative house in the country, debating affairs which affected the entire nation from mundane budgetary concerns to whether or not we send troops into another nation and kill other human beings.
Do you believe in legislating protections for failed business models, or do you believe the free market should determine success?
This is particularly pointed and relevant, it evokes the current financial crisis and bail-out.
It draws particular attention to the inequities of laws which continually give more and more power to content cartels not only to persecute the defenseless, but to regulate and smother new technology which could have been developed to produce real jobs.
Yeah.. because..you know.. when the seeds for this were sown in 1994.. the congress wasn't.. you know.. republican controlled, and shutting down the government over petty political disputes.
Maybe the democrats put the republican heads of senate and house under the imperus curse?
I mean.. damn those democrats, who had no control over congress, and who could not even so much as requisition new styrofoam coffee cups at that time because of the revenge republicans were dishing out for actually pursuing nixon for real criminal actions.
I absolutely hate to say this, but the gun is to OUR heads as tax payers.
we HAVE to pay this, or the economy will collapse in the same way it did when the banks went bust in 29.
It took 3 decades to recover from that, and I consider anything, including a trillion dollar government bail-out, preferable to that.
What I will not stand for though, is a return to reaganomic policies of supply side tax cuts and a refusal to regulate after this mess.
They need to impose tight regulations again, and abandon the neo-liberalism which led to this mess, and many others.
Stiglitz declared reaganomics dead, for the second time, earlier this year. (the first time it was declared dead was the end of the bush administration, yet democrats still acquiesced to and even helped republicans in their bull-headed efforts to continue)
(in many cases, the bias of the mainstream media has been only mildly left, no worse than Fox's bias rightwards).
nice, trying to sneak this by.
MSM has a bias toward corporations, but is otherwise neutral. If you think the MSM has a liberal bias, I refer you to the colbert quip about reality having a well-known liberal bias.
Fox deliberately distorts, and often times fabricates, the stories they present. The obama muslim kick, the deliberate mischaracterization of palin's crusade against the library as false, simply because she didn't do it as mayor (but as city councilwoman), the oreilly factor's invented statistics, the "balance" of the dingbat-right hannity and the cowed, confrontation fearing moderate, colmes.
The list goes on and on.
Fox news is a propaganda arm of the extreme right, it is NOT to be compared with the MSM, which is center-right because it's neutral on social issues and parrots corporate and political press releases whenever it can to avoid actual investigative reporting.

"REAL republican"?
you do know that since the civil rights era, republicans have been all about representing the intolerant, invasive (explatives deleted) the dixie-crats abandoned?
That's the "real republican" party.
I believe you're referring to libertarian.
how about the fact that wages have more or less been frozen for a while?
That kind of impacts things too.
I run into canadian border patrol that tell me i have to go back because I don't have any previous employment as a manager.
we didn't even have stories on the clergy across the US using their pulpits to wage war against obama in violation of tax laws.
It's sad when /. is too lazy to even post flamebait :P
The general consensus is a low density meteorite detonated at a low altitude.
Mineral samples of extra terrestrial origin (fragments of the space rock) have been gathered there.
yes ... a doomsday scenario is unfolding before our eyes.
Now how can we make a profit out of it ?

PM's are not possible on /. AFAIK.
if you enter it as a journal entry people can respond there, or you can publish an email.
This is also relevant to my interests.
Because clearly I'm going to hire someone with zero work experience.
What are you, high?
You and everyone else, then what happens when everyone with work experience becomes too old to work?
I've graduated, I have my degrees. I'm looking for ANY experience, and people like you refuse to offer it, even at minimum wage.
heh.. this is all fine and good, until you realize even the volunteer internships in many professional sectors have high competition.
I've seen it so many times on my school's recruitment listings:
Wanted: students for internship
Qualifications:
2 years experience in the field
DOH!
yeah.. that unitary government through bush's first term really opposed him.
You're full of it!
I'll say it again, minutes or it didn't happen!

way to spew fox news as "hot air" propaganda.
prove it with minutes or it didn't happen.

Mayor > "Community Organizer"
Governor > Senator
McCain's Experience >>> Obama's Experience
wow, how subjective and wrong.
Governor Senator.

I'm getting really tired of right-wing media deliberately fabricating crap for those incapable of thought to spew.
What, they think reporting deliberate lies is the same as the normal, moderate MSM simply forgetting a few questions?
I absolutely hate to say this, but the gun is to OUR heads as tax payers.

let's see, time in the US senate vs time as mayor of a town of only 6000 people.
I could probably install my dog in that mayoral office and get the same result, plus some free fertilizer for the farmers!

blah.. you're right. /bonk
I pirate stuff all the time. I'm just not deluded enough to try to claim it's some grand moral crusade.
But it is.
You don't believe the law is right, so you disobey it.
If you believed otherwise, you wouldn't do it.
It's that simple. If you really don't believe piracy is right, then pitch the cognitive dissonance and put your money where your mouth is.
You adjust the actions to match the philosophy, or the philosophy to match the actions.
I've recently graduated with a double major in econ and CS.
Where do I register with your service.
I'm looking for entry level work, and will move to where a living wage is offered.
Of course telus and the government cronies propping them up would say that.
They have worse business practices than the monopolies which spawned the sherman act!
They have a 100% monopoly on australian pipes, and they don't allow peering agreements like every sane nation has.
This means they charge by the bit for every australian ISP.
This results in internet service which is an utter joke. The statues on easter island get better access, and they are stones!
For those whose knowledge of Aussie plumbing is limited to that one episode of the Simpsons, Australian toilets do not flush backwards.
Oh thank god, I wouldn't want to shower and shampoo the rug after every use.
The design they use does not produce any swirling motion at all.
It doesn't involve a jet engine strapped to the top does it?
