    It's a little harder in areas where you have to wait hours, and can't get time off to vote, but yes, for most people they are just lazy.

  5. and of course, you know that's bullshit on Hostess To Close; No More Twinkies · · Score: 1

    since the company is filing for bankruptcy. Of course, we already know that even you consider your attempted explanation to a a bunch of impotent distraction. That's why you tried to bring in a minority to scapegoat.

    why make the effort to even appear to care when you can just screw over everyone for your own personal benefit. And you appear to actually be morally bankrupt to think that is a good thing.

  9. Are you actually dense enough to believe that. on Hostess To Close; No More Twinkies · · Score: 1

    the company's been in bankruptcy twice so far. the only people making any money are the executives that are bleeding the company dry. Then again, you actually are sense enough to believe this even when you aren't corporate whoring.

    Sometimes you have to just say no when you are being screwed over too much. too bad your parents didn't say no to yuo once in awhile. Maybe you wouldn't be such a self-centered idiot who thinks the entire world exists to do your work

  13. Re:GO UNIONS! on Hostess To Close; No More Twinkies · · Score: 1

    They already took a cut and management responded by giving themselves raises. you might think that the entire world exists for your own personal benefit, but the grownups who actually do all of the work disagree.

  14. Re:GO UNIONS! on Hostess To Close; No More Twinkies · · Score: 1

    contracts are not enforceable if they are entirely one sided. Of course, since you only care about the executives and not the people who actually do any work, I can see why you would consider this to be a bad thing.

    get their friends to set their salaries like the CEO does? If not, then the hypocrisy is on your side.

  21. Re:We'll run out of oil by the year 2000. on Climate Change Could Drive Coffee To Extinction By 2080 · · Score: 1

    You can, but it requires large greenhouses and artificial lights. I used to live not too far from a place that raised poinsettias for Christmas. When the time came, they darkened the entire greenhouse and lit it from within to get the day length correct and force the leaves to turn red. Something like this would definitely lead to very expensive coffee.

    Or even the length of the day/night. Some plants do not grow properly unless they have the correct amount of daylight. this is tied to latitude, and cannot be changed all that readily.
