People who watch The Daily Show did better on a quiz about their political knowledge than people who watch any of the cable news shows - FOX, CNN, MSNBC, etc.
Doesn't that mean he's doing his duty to inform people?
No, it means that people who watch The Daily Show are better informed, not that they GOT better informed BY WATCHING The Daily Show.
>>How about this: Let's stop pissing people off so that they don't feel like it's worthwhile to blow our stuff up. Then, let's stop blowing up their stuff so that they won't have any reason to retaliate.
Can you tell me whose stuff in Saudi Arabia we blew up prior to 2001?
Really, Islamic terrorism has NOTHING to do with relatiation, and everything to do with misinformed/ignorant people being manipulated by their "religious" teachers.
Education and getting rid of the oppressive governments in those countries is what is needed, because that is the environment that turns out disenfranchised/hopeless people by the tens of thousands.
Driving without a license is a misnomer. The actual crime, at least here in NY, would be appropriately referred to as "driving while unlicensed". You don't actually have to have the physical license on you, though if you don't, and can't produce satisfactory alternative ID when you are pulled over, you are probably going to get detained.
If y'all would tone down the rhetoric, you would have Bush out of office, but instead you use inflammatory terms like the headline here. You wind up turning off the undecideds/moderates out there with the over-the-top Bush bashing.
There's not a single point made in the grandparent's reference that is countered in your reference.
In fact, your reference is full of logical fallacies as well, including Prejudicial Language, False Dilemma, Appeal to Consquences, Popularity, and doesn't address the points brought up by people that disagree, but attacks HOW those that disagree have voiced their opposition. It hadrly speaks to the merits of the arguments of the ozone "naysayers" at all.
So if the major urban areas constitute a majority of the people in the country, what the hell is wrong with their votes counting as the majority of the votes for President?
Because the country is a large and diverse country, with various needs, objectives, and goals that would be disproportionately skewed in favor of the large population centers. The needs, objectives, and goals of the vast majority of the country (majority being # of states and area, not # of people) would be ignored. Industries and conditions in those areas, without proper representation, would steadily worsen, to the point where people wouldn't want to live or work there.
The federal government isn't supposed to be this huge beaurocracy that we have today. It is supposed to be more of a "holding company" to oversee the rights of the states. Each state is supposed to govern itself in the way that it sees fit, as long as those laws aren't unconstitutional. A "small state" is supposed to have as much right to govern as it sees fit as a "large state". Abolishing the electoral college would hand essentially all power and influence over to the large states.

So is a knife. And it is used more frequently to kill people in disputes.
But that doesn't make for good drama (often called News), does it?

Um, from someone who lives in NY, Ms. Clinton has done no such "ass-kicking" at all.
She's done zero, zilch, nada, for anyone other than herself. Her only goal is to get her mug in the spotlight as often as possible.
I have no problems with a woman being President. I have a huge problem with Hillary being anything.

That issue has been fixed.
What happens in Switzerland on November 2nd?
Some kinda big cheese fest or sumfin?
...because a TON of windows software won't run or install if they do?
Seriously, they would have 19 gazillion support calls the next day.
I think I speak for many when I ask:
Who the heck is Indymedia and why should we care?
Seriously, what were the involved in that could be alleged to be "illegal"?

Notice the reference to oil... Not to the safety of the United States' populace. Oil. Cute.

Sigh. I HATE BUSH SO MUCH I CAN'T READ! NOT EVEN THINGS I CHOOSE TO QUOTE!! *#$(@@!#@ BUSH@!!!!

Pieces of crap they are.

He uses Firefox.

Yes. Go watch Episode II.

You're right, that is a great web site.
"Click here to install the plugin" is an incredible testimony to their prowess.
I guess you never saw Raiders of the Lost Ark.
While not an ideal solution, if you filter out anonymous posts, you miss most of the noise.
I predict the death of Slashdot, due to the never ending stream of dupes.
