I wish I could unbuy the Serenity and Firefly DVDs. I also wish I hadn't convinced other to buy them. This is just sad. You're suing the people who made the show a financial success; who spread the word.
There is a very distinct diffrence between someone using vigilante "justice" and learning about various political ideologies - even the "dangerous" ones.
But you're right, they obviously don't like it when we refuse to accept what we're spoon fed, and instead do the research to find out for ourselves what those ideologies say.
I'm not a Mao apologist, I'm just saying that I'd rather develop an informed opinion for myself by doing the research, rather than just taking another's word for it.
Long after humankind is dead, some new race will explore the galaxy. This new race will find 1000s of small balls covering half the worlds they land on to explore and wonder, "What the f*ck?"
Since when do profs have to teach objectively and fairly? Sometimes the better prof is the controversial one who makes you question beliefs, not the one who politely states that every belief or thought about science/religion/etc. is correct. If you disagree with him, at least you get the benefit of using critical thinking to determine why you disagree with him.
I, Robot is a good book, but where are some of the other key Asimov books? The Foundation series should definately be up there - I mean, come one, it was his writing that helped make sci fi what it is today.
Actually, I think it's the large amounts of alcohol that let's me understand it. Unfortunately, passionately trying to explain this stuff to the table full of drunks you're talking to on a Friday night causes nothing more than a few blank stares and a yawn in the pretty young woman who sat down next to you.
This is the best article I've read in a long time. Being drunk just means I was able to not think too hard about the philosophical repercussions and understand the point he was trying to make.
That being said, I've bookmarked it to read it again while I'm sober.
This is like being allowed to make 20 waves in the rope each second, or 30 waves, or 40 waves, but never 25, 37, or 42.
We all know that photons having a frequency of 42 is the only possible way to explain life, the universe and everything. So why won't he let us make 42 waves per second?
Yeah, I decided to stop using that a lot less when a woke up with a black eye and no memory of the night before. The donkey and the midget asleep in my bed that morning also creeped me out a little.
If that's the case, the results may look a little like google.
For example, a review of Gwen Steffani's new album:
An upbeat, poppy sound, Gwen Steffani nude, Gwen Steffani fakes, free nude Gwen Steffani pictures, free nude celebrities, with more complexity than her previous albums.
I recently patented a stopwatch that can freeze time. In theory, with the flux capacitor installed, it should work, and I own the patent. Of course, I don't have the technology to create my design.
Moral of the story: You can patent anything, even if humanity doesn't have the tech for it.
You know what, you're right! And while we're at it, why don't we have the government record all conversations. They could rate them based on their potential danger level, and put people who say negative things about any current policy/administration/action. Let's make sure no one even thinks anything bad against the government.

The masses have heard about it now.

Now do we get to eat his liver?
And with that, this blind guy is heading to bed.

No one's calling your girlfriend ugly, we're just implying that your eyesight may be a little lacking.
He dated a woman who wasn't what he expected or who presented herself to be someone she wasn't. The relationship went nowhere.
So basically, online dating has all the potential hazards of real dating? I'm shocked.
Haha. That's funny.
...for 1985. Come on man, you have to at least try to get your facts straight. It's the 2000s, which means the enemy is terrorists, not communists.
I agree. I mean remember Fark.com? That was just a fad; I don't think they even exist anymore.
/. style site, different user base.
I am, of course, kidding. Point is - different

Strange, from all the truckers I've met, I would have guessed they would have chosen methane.
Then you're not a true pro-turkey sandwicher. I, for one, would kill for my turkey sandwich.

I thought the strategy of accusing your enemy of being a communist died about ten years ago... Guess we're not quite there yet.

Even scarier is that you're more likely to shoot a family member than be killed by a terrorist.
