Ugh, Western world has been subsidizing most of the technological and pharmaceutical advances for the whole world for decades, maybe even centuries. Same is true with entertainment. If you are just now catching on... well... I congratulate you. There are many a fool in this world that will never figure it out.
Not to nitpick but Humans do not have the weapons to destroy the planet. All we have are weapons to render ourselves inert; use of which, I'm sure, the planet would welcome.
Other things that help to cut down on the weight: not eating so fuckin much. I eat what ever the hell I want, I just don't eat as much as the next guy.
Serving in the legislature should be like jury duty, not a career or a way to get rich.
Oh yeah that would work. You end up with only people too stupid to get out of it, or people who have nefarious reasons for it. Everyone else would rather go to their day job. You can't fathom how mind numbing it must be to sit in the fuckin' congress for 8 hours, even once.
Torture? And even more importantly rather dangerous to the victim's life. I can tell you guys if I go 20 hours without sleep I start feeling the effects. Any more than that I'm liable to just fall asleep, even while walking.
Not all games are as forgiving. I remember playing Ultima Online with 13ms ping. Now if you had 150 ms ping, I would run circles around you and take your lunch money. That's nice way of saying I would have picked half your items from your rotting corpse before you realized you died.
And yes I know how WoW does their "Oceanic" servers, back when I played most of my guild was from Singapore. The stories of their lag-filled gaming haunt me like nightmares.
Sure Americans may not mind having a latency of 150 ms from West Coast to an East Coast server. But what about a player from Singapore or Australia? You think playing with 500 ms to even 1000 ms is fun? What kind of game are you running? A turn-based hug-fest? Anything with combat that is even slightly dependent on timely user actions will be a nightmare for players from around the globe.
Everyone loves censorship, if you had the power to censor anyone in the world, wouldn't you love it? There are quite a few people in the world I would love to shut the hell up for good.

FUCK YOU!
It's wearing pants... I don't think their technology has advanced that far yet.
about 10 years ago! Seriously landlines are not worth a damn. Phone companies should start offering unbundled DSL.

5... well 6 if you count Texas, but I don't.
Or till Earth is destroyed. Whichever comes first...

Yes India and Pakistan, not to mention the other ones that are suspect.
North Korea was pretty quiet for the eight years Bush II was President.
You mean they have been quite since the last nuclear test in October 2006? You either live in a cave, or cherry pick intelligence out of your arse.
Which country would contribute the idea of worker unions?

Only dangerous if he gets into the arms locker.
What if the aliens can't read? How will they find it?
Don't buy it!

Then you are saying the diet soda does nothing for obese people. There we agree.
