    Um, no they don't. You have no idea what you are talking about. Can a illegal immigrant legally vote? No I don't think so! *Note the operative word in the previous sentence is legally. Now putzes like you may allow them to have the same rights as me by not enforcing the law but you statement is false!

    No not really you are taking it out of context.

    "Stop extending unemployment and force people to take whatever job they can get."

    The forcing happens by cutting off the government subsidized crutch that is unemployment and decrease government spending. So it is quite the opposite. It is making people in charge of their own destiny. "Get out and get a job and stop loafing on my tax dollar!"

    "Instead of giving all the illegal aliens amnesty they should be deported and their jobs should be given to unemployed citizens with similar skill sets."

    Illegals have no constitutional rights so what you are saying doesn't apply here! As far as giving the jobs to the unemployed citizens what I meant was this would allow unemployed citizens with the same skill sets a chance to get these jobs without the illegals, that work for peanuts, in the way

    ...start making smart decisions.
    1. Stop raising government spending and live within our means. If any normal person were to live so far outside of his or her means he or she would have his or her credit rating lowered much sooner than the US did.
    2. The process of a bill becoming a law needs to be updated. No bill should be longer than it takes the average person to read it in one sitting. The reason for this is two-fold. First, it will help to keep the government honest by allowing anyone that wants to read the proposed bill the opportunity to do so. Yes, I know this currently exists with the congress website but the bills are so long that it would take a month to actually read through one.Second, it will help to eliminate the piggy-backing of policies that would not make it to vote on their own merit, so they are hidden deep inside a bill discussing something entirely different.
    3. Instead of giving all the illegal aliens amnesty they should be deported and their jobs should be given to unemployed citizens with similar skill sets.
    4. Stop extending unemployment and force people to take whatever job they can get. Unemployment is a crutch and people abuse it. I have not been unemployed for a long time, but when I was I remember this much. Unemployment paid me $300 a week and at the time the average Mc Donald’s worker was making 7.25 an hour. So, you do the math 7.25/hr * 40 = 290 which becomes $250 after tax. So, would you go get a job at Mc Donald’s and lose $50 or sit at home and collect unemployment until it runs out?
    5. Give corporations significant tax breaks for bringing jobs back from overseas. Tax breaks combined with peoples desperation to find a job should be enough that we can compete in the world market without send work back overseas.

    Do all of that and we might have a shot.

  8. I wouldn't say that... on Study Claims Human Intelligence Peaked Two To Six Millennia Ago · · Score: 1

    ...human intelligence has peaked, but people are most certainly seem less intelligent now than when I was in school. The reason for this is that technology allows people to remember less than they used to be required to. When I was in school either you remembered formulas for calculus, took good notes, or you had to go to the library and look them up. You couldn't just open a browser, type in calculus formula list, and get a list of the most commonly used formulas. I actually propose that in one way this may allow people to achieve more than they would otherwise, because it allows them to use less memory for storage of formulas and more memory for actual computation. The down side is that in a few 100 more years, as people gradually memorize less and less, if we ever have some super-storm that destroys all magnetic storage on the planet then all of the knowledge of the world would most certainly be lost as paper books are growing more and more scarce.

    This is simply not the case. The government may try to make people believe that but the Constitution clearly states that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. No where does it state "the freedom of respectful speech" which means I can say whatever I want, where ever I want, period, end of story! I can say fuck, fuck, fuckitty, fuck all I want, whenever I want. Now there may be certain circumstances where this is frowned upon, and might get me thrown out of some-place where people have a stick up their ass but that doesn't restrict my right to say it and get myself thrown out.

  15. Re:I agree with Intel... on Intel CEO Tells Staff Windows 8 Is Being Released Prematurely · · Score: 2

    I believe it is a flaw in the Windows 8 power management schema, because of how the incident occurred. When I first installed Windows 8 I noticed shortly after that my monitor would go to sleep after 5 minutes regardless of what the power management settings, bios settings, or any other settings were set to. I posted to the Windows 8 forum, followed all the suggestions by the forum moderators, and none of them fixed the issue. A couple of days later my computer shut itself off out of no-where, which had never happened before with this box, but I figured that is Windows for ya. I powered it back on, and it shut itself right back off again. So, I opened the case up and went to check things out. When I checked to make sure the video card was seated properly it was so hot that it burned me. So, I unplugged the monitor from the video card, put a glove on that I keep close by for when I am soldering, and unseated the video card. Then I plugged the monitor in to my on-board card and powered my machine back up. After that I had no issues with anything including the monitor time-out issue. Oh and by the way. The ticket that was created about my issue is still open on the Windows 8 forum so, as far as I know this issue has not been fixed.
