  1. Re:even a broken clock... on RNC Calls For Halt To Unconstitutional Surveillance · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What a lot of people seem to be missing is that the GOP is in the middle of a transformation. I will not get into whether or not it is good or bad for the country or the party but the establishment republicans, those like romney or mccain are being pushed aside by more libertarian bent candidates. The These new republicans, at least from what I can see, are the ones who are against the NSA and big government, something bush 2 and mccain are for.

    In another 10 years as more of the traditional GOP retires or is voted out, hopefully they get repaced by more libertarian leaning candidates, or even better the libertarian party will become one of the big 2.... (i can dream)

    Actually, The vote passed the senate 98-1-1 and only 64 members of the house voted no. The patriot act was bipartisian.

    Very few sites I visit have an app that I actually use. The ones that do I use for a reason. Example the sportscenter app from ESPN. I use it because it will give me notifications of when teams I enjoy to watch are playing. Sure I could just go to the respective websites or even good the teams and it will show the next game for me. But getting a notification when a game starts I find to be very useful. Other than that I pretty much prefer the web versions over the app versions for everything else.

    The only good reason for an app over the web IMO is when you actively want push notifications

    Which is exactly how the debate on this should be going I can agree with that. I only wish more people on both sides of the debate would see that instead of simply negating the other side as crazy, which both sides tend to do

    actually what is happening is that most climate change skeptics do not dismiss that the climate is changing, We know you mean AWG change. We simply believe that either

    A - there is not enough data or data has been cherry picked to push an agenda

    B - there is change and it is natural, who do we think we are to believe we have as much power to actually change the climate or

    C - The costs to "stop" if thats even possible climate change is far greater than we are willing to spend.

    because the cost of gas is already prohibitivly high for many of us here. Yes I know in the rest of the world prices are even higher, but that doesnt mean that we can afford it. If the cost of gas jumped 1$ overnight and never dropped, I know many people who would no longer be able to get to work, keep a roof over their heads and eat properly. And we got greenies wanting us to increase that by more than double the current cost!

    you mean the same tax breaks that are given to every company? or do you believe we should all be paying 20 bucks a gallon of gas?
