    If someone wanted my teeth, than yes, they are worth that much

    plain and simple, if you are taking an organ from my body, I (or my family) should be paid for that organ.

    not ALL white people owned slaves in the south either

    and I like how you claim that ALL white people, if given the chance would own slaves when there are a dozen other ways you could have said that without showing your own racism towards white people

  3. you know on Bill Gates Says Tablets Aren't Much Help In Education · · Score: 2

    you dont have to like gates to see what he is saying is not wrong, at least in the short term. a tablet can only do so much, people are always talking about how it is a complementary device. Now gates says as much, and I will bet a lot on /. will be talking shit about how hes wrong. Tablets are great at replacing 40 pounts of textbooks however, as a tablet (with not easy input) is still slightly better than a textbook (no input), low cost desktops (or laptops) are better for students overall.

    we can argue on slavery one way or another, Obviously no one is for slavery (today) but at the time, they were sold by their own people, and treated as a comodedy. Its not fun trying to defend slavery for an argument so im going to be easy but plain and simple they didnt have a choice, they were sold to us, and they were property. so yeah, you can make the case that not ALL of us came here "that way" but it would only be if you do not take the times into consideration/

    you seem to not see many illegals, let me give you a breakdown

    every morning there is a group of around 20-30 illegals standing outside of lowes and home depot, they wait until someone drives up, points to them and says wanna make a few bucks, than they go, start hammering or doing other things that high school students should be doing to learn a hard days work, They dont pay taxes on the money cause they get paid around 80 bucks a day cash off the books. Than they send around 60 of that back to mexico, taking it out of the american economy.

    as someone who did construction in highschool, I know this is how it goes down, ive had to work with them in the past.

    shhhhh, that ruins the entire argument! I mean if the media was talking about immigration honestly, instead of lumping people who come here legally and those who break the law and come here illegally is pure pandering, I am surprised in this day and age it even works any more.

    no one wants to end immigration to america, our country was built on that concept, We simply want it done correctly. like our ancestors did

    so you want it "fair" in your terms, not "fair" in what the obama admin is trying to push through. ok, i can see that. at least you are honest with what you want, and I can agree with you, which is why I am against a "public option"

    That says more about the fact that the laws need an overhaul, maybe a mandatory renewal ever XX years or the law becomes void.

    Is it any different than when you are 18 and just got your license?? you get stopped more??? age discrimination happens too, but they dont JUST pull you over because you are young, they get you for not signaling, or a broken taillight, THAN they harass you about drugs. It really is simple, its not as if cops are going to just stop a walking man of color and ask for his papers. and if he does, he should be removed from the force but it doesnt make the need for these laws any less.

    the issue here is whether or not he was unauthorized to view it or not, at the time. If all he had to do was type in an address in his browser bar, and the server returned the data, and he didnt do any tricks or use any tools to get the data to show up, the data shows up, he, and everyone was authorized. Was it the companies intent? of course not, but they dont get a mulligan. No computer crime was committed here, the only crime is the extortion, and one could argue its not extortion to ask for a fee for assisting in the filling of security holes. call it contract work.
