If your job is so menial and simple that you can be replaced with someone who works harder and for less, then why should you not be replaced?
It's an unfortunate truth, but if you can't do something unique with your life, well, too bad, kay? Some of us actually have to think of ways to reinvent ourselves and do creative, individual things to keep our jobs.

1. Kind of agree, it'll never happen though. 2. Violation of plenty of rights. If you want your rights, give your politicians theirs. 3. Forcing people to vote would make them make even worse decisions. Forcing people to vote would be even WORSE than whatever the house and senate can cook up. That kind of moot-ifies your point, because if employers have to give out holidays.... who is really going to vote on that holiday that would not vote normally? 4. Campaign promises are far too generic and non-specific to be legally argued about. "I promise to get more jobs" can mean a wide variety of things, and it can have many degrees. (Exactly how many "more" jobs?)
Or, y'know, constitution. Which is directly directly directly related to how much HP they have. And they don't have much HP.
So they... don't really have stamina.
I'm not saying that people in the US aren't fat/obese. I'm just saying that painting with a wide brush is always foolish and stupid, for the same reason that saying "Black people are always gangbangers" is stupid.
(No, I'm not trying to make the statement US:Fat::Black:Gangbanger. I'm just saying that painting with a wide brush is always foolish and stupid.)
Because... everyone in america eats from McDonalds?
What a shock. I live in america, and I almost never eat at a McDonalds. (Although I have in the past.)
You're calling Office a "Necessary" lock-in, but you're calling Apple computers a bad lock-in? Wait, how is that even similar? MS Office will not open up its files to be used on other systems, but Apple opens up its computers to Windows, and releases a LOT of their source code (What's it called? AppleForge or something?) and allows you to run whatever OS you want to on their computers, and THEY are the ones who are locking people in?
I actually go on MySpace for a reason. Shocking, isn't it? I enjoy such crappy social networking? Anyway, MOST of the 'artists' on MySpace are actually just uploading songs from their MP3 collection (That they didn't make), so that it can be played on their MySpace profile.
I'm sure the RIAA will love people getting money for filesharing.
So you'd WANT gay people/fat people/people who like the color blue to be forced to work with a boss that dislikes them? Or even, to take away the freedom of an employer to employ whoever he likes? That would be another freedom taken away, and it'd cause more problems than it would fix.
People get fired ALL the time for minor screw ups. Apple does it and suddenly their the big ol' evil corporation. WTF?
Seriously, they screwed up, they lose their jobs. Why should they get to keep them? What reason does Apple have to believe that they wouldn't just do it again?
There will always be debate about the origin of the world. I'm a devout Christian and this I think this is retarded. There should be religion classes in public high schools, sure. Religion is an important part of history, you can't do away with it. It's stupid to say Jesus wasn't real, and try to hide/remove any pictures of him, just because you don't believe he was the son of God. He's still an important historical figure (ACLU, I'm looking at you.). It's also stupid to say that Evolution isn't a well tested, well done theory. It's realistic, and it makes sense. What happened to the Enlightenment, a time when people could have a secular outlook for the purpose of scientific advance? It's also stupid not to teach that.
So what happened to people being able to make choices about what they wanted to learn, instead of having evolution (or Christianity, or Bhuddism, or WHATEVER) shoved down their throughts?
Don't make your place try and look like the exterior of a Dell. Don't do "ultra-hip" or "modern". Get a real designer, and DON'T try and make things look "cool", make them reliable, sturdy, and interesting. Use interesting chairs and tables. DON'T overuse black plastic things. And no matter what you do, be sure to have as much innovation as you can. Use stuff that most gamer's haven't seen, like really cool mods or underrated games. Stock all the classics (HL:2, Warcraft 3, etc.) And most of all, have fun. The gamers won't like it if you don't.
Yeah, because god forbid that there are actually crazy islamists who want to kill people! It's definitely NOT a good thing Scotland Yard averted a possible terrorist attack! No reason to raise a security level after hundreds of people could have been killed!
Seriously, get a life. There is no fearmongering, or conspiracy, or anything, but there are terrorists. And while the US government is sure being an idiot about things, they certainly haven't made up a threat. Do you think Israel invaded Lebanon because they're assholes? Or because Lebanon has been openly harboring communities of Hezbollah terrorists, who have been killing the Isrealian people? When people think they have all the answers about what's going on in the world, usually they don't, and there is always another side to the story.
"God" isn't about evidence. It's about faith. But you don't get anything by taking Christianity down, all you do is look petty. So can we please move on from being as mature as 2nd graders and just accept that everyone has different beliefs?
NEWSFLASH: The reason allofmp3 is so cheap is because they don't ask the artist's permission before they sell their songs. You might as well be pirating, it's basically the same thing. Honestly, if you want an artist's music, you can't double-dip and make your own rules about how you obtain it. They get to decide. So if you don't like buying DRM infested files, well, you have no other legal options to buy their music if that's how they want to sell it. And don't tell me allofmp3 is legal; it's only scantily legal because of Russia having fucked up copyright laws. (Read that "No copyright laws".)

You should have seen the Libertarian Club at our school.
I was the president.
And who kills the innocent Americans, exactly?
I'd really like to know.

Because American people are always obese, and European people are always thin and fit?
Painting with a wide brush only makes you look stupid.
Because... everyone in america eats from McDonalds? What a shock. I live in america, and I almost never eat at a McDonalds. (Although I have in the past.)
...Yes? That's... what they do. That's always what they've done. What was your point?

Now with all my favorite proxies blocked, I have no way to get to my favorite sites... Wait, I've got it! I'll just proxy the proxies!
I think hundreds of people dieing from Sudden Death Syndrome should prove the existance of psychic powers.
You're just jealous of Sadako.

So, are we going to call the first virus for OS X after the WGA-virus "Pluto Again"?
It's only a matter of time.
And no Mac does? Where have these people been?
