Ummm, no, you Ayn-Rand-reading, Ronald-Regan-worshiping economic libertarian. It costs less to outsource to India, China, etc., because their living standards are lower than ours. Just wait several (couple?) of years, and we, along with India and China, will start outsourcing to other countries. And so you'll know, minimum wage is there for a reason: so working people will actually be able to live, not just survive, on their wages.
Yeah, I saw this on a bumper sticker once. You live a pretty sad life if you really think like that. No real interests, hobbies, friends, family?
I've read the description of what is for sale on the eBay page, and this guy does not sound like an idiot. All he's really selling is what you've called "toys". He even explicitly states that his friends are not for sale, he will just introduce the winning bidder to them.
Well, I had pretty strong feelings about 2004 elections. However, in retrospect, I'm not sure whether Kerry would've been better for country overall. He was a very polarizing figure.
Thank you, oh wise AC. Next time post with under a real name, so I'll know who to thank for such an insightful post. Oh, and the lottery numbers are (write them down): 13, 8, 21, kissmyass, 9.
I have to say that this joke is NOT funny. Finally we have an election where candidates from both parties do not generate a lot of negative feelings from the general populace. This hasn't been happening for a very long while.
I'll even go as far as to say that the United States of America will be better off in any of the two possible outcomes.
Me: Oh the great, all-knowing wikipedia, please enlighten me on the reason Mozilla Firefox chose such a glorious name! Wikipedia: It was first named "Phoenix", because it arose from the ashes of Netscape. Then (due to international copyright laws and conflict with Phoenix Technologies) they chose to rename the great product as "Firebird," and all rejoiced! Alas, the great joy did not last long, as the wicked Firebird Database Server users started to complain. The great creators then finally settled on the name that is heard throughout the land: FIREFOX!
Well, after only 2 minutes on Wikipedia, I found the following quote from one of the Marx's writings (from here):
My own contribution was to show that... this dictatorship [of the proletariat] itself constitutes no more than a transition to the abolition of all classes and to a classless society You might or might not agree whether Marxism leads to a classless society (and I certainly don't), but please stop lying about its ideals.
Actually, this shouldn't have been mod'ed down. There's plenty of blame to go around on both sides of the isle. For example, Chuck Schumer (otherwise my favorite senator), Hillary Clinton, Joe Lieberman, etc. criticize the gaming industry.
Yes, and that line should be the PHYSICAL actions of an individual that HARM other individual. Here, it seems, we have pure censorship.
Were do you draw a line with crimethink? Next they will outlaw pr0n - for immoral images, then action movies - for inciting riots, then political commentary - for underminding government leadership, then... well you see were I'm going with this.
P.S. Why was this moded as 'Flamebait', seems like parent as expressing his/her opinion?
Reasonable middle group? How about this:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Sounds reasonable to me. I understand that this was in a different country, however this reasoning behind this should be universal.

Well, it only shows that we've already eliminated most of the dangers that are still present in the Amazon region.

scratch that, posted OK. there seems to be a bug in the new /. reply system....
Shit, this was supposed to be a reply to a different post.

Thanks for pointing this out, I noticed that as well and started to suspect there was a Wachowski brothers thing going on.
Can't... resist...
In Soviet Russia, a thought can get YOU killed!

I did have to sacrifice a goat though...
And you only HEARD of Marx, haven't you?

I, for one, welcome our new understudy.
As long as we are going monochrome, I prefer smoothing slashdot green.
