No, poptones is pretty much right. I've been stuck here for going on 34 years. Can't get out yet because I've got too much debt to handle and there's no jobs here to speak of. Michigan is not only a hole, it's a fucking hole.
I guess it makes more sense to use their bailouts funded by taxpayers who didn't want to support them anyways INSTEAD of building the EV-1.
Way to go GM, yet another reason I can't wait to see you go bankrupt and get the f*ck out of my state. We don't need you, just go away.
At one of the Best Buy's in Grand Rapids Michigan I get asked for my number and zip code everytime I purchase something from them.
I refuse but they still ask.
I think it's more important for them to be voting in a way that is a representation of the majority of what their constituents want and less the way that their conscience tells them to.
And yeah, the Press are a bunch of fsking idiots.
Stopped reading them years ago:)
Unfortunately even in a relatively large city of almost 500,000 THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS. It's either Comcast or dial-up. If we could fix that issue then I think this might go away.
So get draconian back...: One term in each house and no lobbying. For anyone.
Also, remove the insurance for the lizards and pay them 10,000 USD/year. That would make it so that only people who really want to make a change run for office.
It is really nice to see that we don't have to deal with that "pesky" Presumed Innocence. I wonder though, can we use this to round up parliamentarians around the world and prosecute them for accepting bribes and corruption? I think that might get the message through.
Thats why there's EBay. Sell your vote to the highest bidder. After all, if its good enough for Congress it should be good enough for the people.

Yeah... that's what we really want. The general public, airborne. Think about all the idiot drivers in SUVs that flip their vehicles regularly. Do you really want those mouth breathers FLYING? At high speed? If we ever do get flying cars (vertical take off and landing vehicles, or VTOLs), it won't be long before these VTOLs are slamming into the sides of office buildings (forget terrorists) and crashing through people's rooftops. Drunk flying anyone? Mid-air collisions? The only way I'd be OK with flying cars was if the average population not only had an IQ of 180 to start, but also had a really strong sense of REAL personal responsibility. That is to say, "Not only do I care about taking care of myself, but I care about the wellbeing of every human being that I am around". Until that happens (yeah right), I'll be casting my vote against the common neanderthal getting off the ground.
Quoted for Truthery!
I just kind of thought that would be common sense. I would expect that to be much more common as more and more people are using the social networking sites

How does a sentence copied out of TFA end up +5 insightful?
Because nobody actually reads TFA?
I'll still take the shitty billion though. Money's Money

Actually, I get most of my used books from the large used book section at Barnes & Nobles.
*post*.... No really though, someone somewhere will do this. It's just a matter of time

It's about the only thing thats going "right" here lately then...
And I'm sure there are -4 penalties for each stroke. I don't think anything but a natural 20 was going to help
On the other hand, the modifiers on a Save vs Death Magic roll aren't really good when you've had multiple strokes and a heart attack

The scary part is I think this may be right. It's just too damn "convenient" to be a "coincidence"
You know something like this is going to be eBaums/*chan fodder for years...
Anonymous?? Moar liek 7chan...amirite?

This is all well and good, but how long till someone tries to mount one of these to a shark?

I'm going to have to go with Germany, 1933 FTL!
Which is why I think it might be time to just sell your vote on ebay :)
Kind of sounds like natural selection to me. I guess I don't see the big deal here?

Monarchy is actually a solution to that problem. ;)
