You are like spoiled middle class twits who think everything you have is owed to you and you have no idea what your Daddy (that would be the U.S. in this analogy, idiot) has to go through to keep you in new shoes and unfiltered cigarettes. You only have the luxury of living in the soul-sucking welfare states you live in because the individual American worker produces and consumes enough to foot the bill. If it were not for our shielding you from the consequences of your stupidity you would have long ago sunk into war and depression under the weight of your ridiculous governments.

Actually not all carnivores have lost the ability to sense carbohydrates. Dogs do have the ability to sense sweetness though at a reduced level compared to us and bears.
How come I care about having a huge hdd and fast memory and data buses or whatever if I am content to move all my apps to the net? I know my questions are stupid and demonstrate my ignorance both computers and TFA but I don't get it. When web apps are made more viable and broadband internet connections are truly ubiquitous will I really need a computer or will I essentially be using a dumb terminal? Am I completely misunderstanding the nature of web apps? When I use Google doc or whatever it is called is that sort of like back when all the processing work was done by mainframes or is my processor actually involved in what happens? Why is a noob like me posting on slashdot? Will this be modded waaaayyy down? Will I ever be able to stop typing and hit "submit"?
Look I don't mean to get into some kind of gay flame war. I don't have time or energy to get into an argument over why trying to fundamentally alter human behavior to make a point is ridiculous. It is just pretty obvious that only someone under 20 or mildly retarded would actually post what you posted. Anyone who has known how to read for more than 15 or so years would know that what you were saying is absurd. Write back when you have had to pay bills on your own for a few years, oh callow one.
Yes, anyone who has ever watched parliament on TV is amazed at how you brits hate negativity and would never be swayed by it.
Of course *discerning consumer* is just a euphemism for to poor to by what you want. I am sure you all have just "discerned" that tiny-ass houses, bus passes, and public television are better than their more expensive alternatives, douche.
Dangit, you do have a point. I do not know enough about the reality of the telecommunications industry to argue further. I suppose I could RTFA...nah. I am not going to cede the point because that would be unamerican but I will grant that you might not be a complete retard.;-)
(my apologies to all you actual retards)
OK, the fact that this has to be said in 2006 is absurd, but whatever.
If local governments want to ensure that the telecomunications infrastructure in certain neighborhoods that do not fit the private companies' business models then local government should subsidize the expense not pass the costs on to me indirectly. It makes no economic sense to force the cost onto private companies in this situation. All that does it raise the barrier to entry even higher and put us all even more beholden to the few companies that can afford to do business.
Knee-jerk leftist, douche bags need to use their freaking heads.
think the point was that we the common folk get to surrender our life savings, educations, cars homes, etc., while the CEO gets off just giving his kids a stern talkning-to
That might be the single gayest thing I have read all day. I didn't realize that the local soup kitchen was overwhelmed with DRM refugees, freaking douchebag.
Look, if you don't want to pay twenty bucks for some shitty CD that only has one good song on it just wait a few more weeks and it will be on clearance or shell out the $.99 for the download or pay the $10/month for the subscription. You are not a heroic soldier in the war against "big business". Whatever, stop bitching and comparing yourself to people with problems.
I'm as big a fan of decent "fair use" as the next guy, but that doesn't mean that I have the right to just take music (or make a digital copy, for all you semantics lovers/lawyer assholes) without paying somebody. Whatever, you all suck.
You know all those stories where somebody in an office building or a school thinks they smell gas and before you know it 15 people are taken to the hospital because they got sick? Inevitably it turns out that somebody farted and all the losers puking up their lunch were just hypochondriacs that were highly open to suggestion. All it takes is for stupid people to suspect there is some sort of a threat and 10 minutes later they are being taken to the hospital. Why do you think that morons getting the placebo in drug studies invariable come down with "side effects"? This is probably another example of hysterical, unemployed eurpean luddites freaking out over nothing.
I don't know where to begin. In fact I am sure talking to you about this would be an exercise in frustration but here goes.
"Classical breeding has no relationship to genetic manipulation."
Flatly false. The only difference is the pace at which traights may be introduced.
"The simple truth with gentech is, its not needed with one exception: Cash for Monsanto, Syngenta et. al"
Whose blog are your parroting here? Sure these companies make money on their products but they don't make money if nobody percieves any value in them. The only way anybody would purchase the seeds is if the profits from the crops compared favorably to other options.
"Look at India and the rice and cotton plants. They have less quality and you dont need less but more herbizides and insectizides. "
Again, flat wrong. Not only flat wrong but unsubstantiated head-in-the-sand propoganda of the same sort that convinced African governments to refuse donated GM foods that could have fed thousands. This type of blanket assertion is enough evidence alone to discredit those that believe in this crap.
"If I would get knowledge of a field with genetically seeds I would burn it down."
That is called terrorism, douche-bag.

Yes, actually they do. Have to be mutually exclusive, that is.

Ahhh yes, I remember when I was 17 too. How freaking cute.

Holy crap, that was genius. How is that not modded up to a five? "pr0n" and medieval theology in the same post?!
