Where I come from we have 50% illiteracy rates but we still elect rocket scientists and economics PhDs for higher offices. It is amazing in this country of 100% literate people so many are so anti-intellectuals.
I recently read "All the Shah's Men" by Kinzer. It details the history of Anglo-Iranian oil company (today's BP).
BP started in colonial era of England. They were arrogant while they were exploring and extracting oil in Iran. According to the book they wouldn't even build housing or roads or any medical facilities for Iranian laborers. However they built most of the comforts for the British officers and workers.
Read the book if you can and the current BP will not surprise you at all.
I do not know what the hell is a problem. All the cellphone I have ever used, I synchronized them to my computer. I haven't used that many cell phones only 5 of them so far (Nokia(2), Eriksson(2) and Handspring). All you need is a data cable and a software. Most of my phones had infrared ports, so I did not even bothered with data cables.
Why do you need cell phone companies doing this for you? Just do it yourself already.
Holy mother of god. That much? I am clueless as to why people pay that much for watching TV? How much TV to you watch? When do you get all that time to watch TV?
I spend 9 something hours (including commuting) at work. After coming home around hour and half in the gym, some with my wife, eating, sleeping etc. I probably watch around 1 hour of TV every day (around 12 hours in a week) and I pay $8.95 per month for basic cable.
Where the hell you people get all that time to watch all those programs? Why do you hate your own money? Why do you keep giving it to the evil companies like Comcast? I just don't get it. I am clueless.

I am reading it right now. More I read it, the more it reminds me of the world we are living in right now. Bloody looters.
Yeah right. Have you ever used it or you just read that on some website.
well we kill cows and pigs and everything moving for food, why not kill cats for fuel? If that really is possible
