  1. Re:Conservative Fear on TSA Bans Flight If You Refuse To Show ID · · Score: 1

    "Freedom loving liberal" who wants to take guns away? Seriously, every liberal I've known has been scared of guns. As a conservative, I think this is a bullshit policy. I'm all about lesser gov't involvement in anyone's life. I guess that would make me a libertarian, but so be it. I'm not scared of terrorists, I'm not scared of common criminals, I'm not scared of air flight, I'm not scared of drugs, I'm not scared of homosexuals. You need to get the fuck out with your generalizations.

    Most laptops aren't that freakin' old. And besides, I'm sure that there's someone out there who NEEDS my 1993 Acura more than I do, but it is a very nice car that I keep in very good condition and it's an investment that I am very proud of. I don't care if someone needs it, it's mine and if it does ever get stolen I'm going to do everything I can to get it back.

  8. Re:Cruel on Study Proves Having Fat Friends Makes You Fat · · Score: 1

    That is not true. My dad is a southern baptist, my mother is a presbyterian. Both are very devout Christians (as are my grandparents and my two younger brothers.) I was raised going to church every Sunday and youth group every Wednesday. I was "saved" at the age of 13. No matter how much I tried, tho, I could not convince myself, deep down inside, that I really believed in God or any other beliefs that were taught to me. Then when I moved (at the age of 15), I came to the conclusion that I am really not a Christan. Ever since then I feel sort of.... relieved(?). It was like a cloud that pervaded my actions (would god/jesus approve of this) was lifted and since then (I don't suppose there was any correlation but it's just what I noticed) I've become much more philosophical and open-minded about everything any everyone.

    this one's gonna be offtopic but consider the following:

  15. not altogether true on Puncturing the "PCs Are Cheaper Than Macs" Myth · · Score: 1

    the computer upon which I work is an emachines w3118. I paid $300 for it (sans monitor, I had the monitor from my dad's old computer). It had an 80gb hard drive and a CDRW/DVD-ROM drive with an empty 5.25" and 3.5" bay. I have since purchased a DVDRW DL drive and a 250gb hard drive. It also included two PCI slots (one had a modem, i replaced it with a wireless adapter and put a firewire adapter in the other one), a PCIe x1 and x16 slot. I have yet to purchase a video card (I mostly play old games such as starcraft and baldur's gate, although the onboard nvidia 6100 runs hl2 pretty well.) I have upgraded it from 256mb ram to 1gb (and I could put as much as 2gb in). I'm sure I couldn't fit an 8800 Ultra (i'm all out of power connectors from the 350watt psu), and it's measly socket 754 doesn't allow for much in the way of cpu upgrade (amd sempron 3100 is what it currently has) but overall it's pretty nice.

    well, what I think gwb was doing was protecting the church's right not to recognise gay marriage. I believe that gay people should have the same protections and rights as hetero in civil union. I don't, however, think that the state should mandate that marriage is defined by the church. if the church wants to not recognise gay marriage, that's their opinion and the state should have nothing to do with it
