Thank the gods! Another Ron Paul supporter. I didn't think they existed outside the listenership of Alex Jones! Anyways, it's good to see fresh, reasonable approaches. That guy is as American as apple pie!
It's really good to see that some people believe in freedom and liberty, and also realise that for the most part both parties have been bought and paid for by foreign interests and corporations. We really need a revolution, but I'll settle for Ron Paul if he can bring change.
as a freedom loving old-school conservative (now i'm a "liberal" so whatever) libertarian american, i would have to say you are all too right. unfortunately, this nation is ruled by corporatist (read: fascist) lords who only care about themselves and their entertainment. the rest is just pan et circi for the people. as for the neocon mods: screw them and their fake "compasionate conservatism, save the children, stop the drugs, give illegals amnesty, new world order" bullshit.
perhaps you do not watch many sci-fi movies but the solution to any disaster is to blow it the fuck up with nukes.
angry russians -- vapourised. asteroids -- pulverized. earth's core shutting down -- nothing rhymes here. earthquakes -- well we all know how well explosions work for crustal lube.
so why not just apply this same logic to a hurricane? five or ten strategically placed 200 megaton nuclear warheads should be able to dismantle the eyewall. As for the fallout: the rest of the country probably won't miss a few hundred tacky trailer trash inhabitants of the south.
NOTICE: I'M BEING SARCASTIC. THIS IS A JOKE. If you do not like my sense of humour you can shove it because the grand irony is that I do live in a "tacky trailer park" and most would probably call me "southern trash" despite my slight-leftist libertarian political leaning. As for the science behind it... like i said, it's a joke (but I would like to know if that would actually work). good day.
I don't post under my real name, but Faolan Devyn Aodfin is the name I use for all non-legal purposes as it is my public spiritual name and is what I desire to be called by.
Heh... it's 2007 and i can't believe there is no known KDE application for connecting to the actual chat rooms in Yahoo, aim, etc. Pidgin is the only decent option for that really, although i don't like running GTK applications unless i absolutely have to. Perhaps it's time for Kopete to change their underpining library for chat handling, add this feature -- or better yet merge Kopete and Konversation in an elegant way then add support for yahoo, aim, and other chat room connections as Konversation is a wonderful piece of work for IRC users who want a great, working, modern interface. Perhaps the end project of this labour should be called Telepathy or (sighs in disgust) to keep the "K" theme consistent Telkom.
Hey, i got an idea for the most offensive game ever. Let's make a game where you're an Islamic terrorist and the game consists of raping soccer moms, assassinating various political talking head such as Rush Limbaugh and Al Sharpton. Then you move onto going into killing sprees at various public places like shopping malls, public schools, and legislative meetings. the last level of course would end in necrophillac butt sex with Jack Thompson.
I doubt the African tribal communities had that in mind when they created the "it takes a village to raise a child" philosophy. And secondly, that phrase applies to tribalism, not socialism. They may have similarities here and there but they are radically different especially when it comes to moral views.Tribalism believe it or not does allow for individual freedoms and recognition of the individual, whereas purist socialism does not -- amongst other differences. You have to remember that tribalism is also extremely varied in practice and suited towards smaller sects.
You were actually about half way there to answering your own question. You see the government doesn't want to ban hate, they just want to make the appearance of doing so. What they are really doing is redirecting people's hatred to something else, like say global warming, teh terror1sts!1!, liberals (perhaps conservatives depending on the country), communists, fascists, moslems, and such.
It's really a complicated question with no real clean cut answer. But you are on the right track even if it was sarcasm.
There was only one other thing that I enjoyed about Windows Vista besides the off button: "Mahjongg Titans". It was no Kyodai, but it was seriously better than KMahjongg, XMahjongg, and Gnome Mahjongg. C'mon Linux game devs! Let's make a mahjong that's blow your socks off amazing.
Actually according to US law in most states if you knowing own a copy a piece of music without owning the original (ie, a "pirated" or "stolen" copy) then technically it could be considered a stolen good since the MAFIAA claims so and that jurisprudence has been set in the courts. Therefore, if you own a illicit copy, then yes you could be charged to possession of stolen goods and in many states if the products in question total greater than $250 then you could also be charged with grand theft which could give you up to twenty years of ass pounding.
Anyone who can say that these people deserved this is insane! These are the real victims. Why don't you try to defend a war when you see a mother kissing her dead baby in her arms? Seeing picture of corpses of children who hours earlier were out in the street playing soccer. Seeing all the bodies lining the alleyways in Iraq. I've seen these pictures. Images you can't find on the mainstream news. My cousins who've been "over there" has seen them in person. Sometimes hundreads lie in the streets, sometimes thousands and it reeks of death because the coroners can't pick them up because it's too dangerous.
Also, yes, everytime i see something like this happen to the country i love it depresses me. We should all be out protesting right now instead of on slashdot. I know that is ironic, but let's all start protests -- I want to do something and I know many of you all do to. As Slashdot, we can only bitch, but as people we could organise one hell of a protest.
I'm not a pacifist either. Oddly lots think all wiccans must be pacifist, but i know when to hold, when to fold em, and when to lay em down. This is getting rediculous and there is too much evidence that the Neo-Cons were behind 9/11 and as they are getting more desparate I can guarantee you they will strike us again so they can "protect us" by expanding "national security". Sometimes I feel i should just drop off the grid and live my life with no chains, even if I have to give up the comforts of modern life.
I heard about Ron Paul's campaign on Alex Jones's show and everytime he's been on there he hasn't said a thing that I can disagree with. It's like he's fucking channeling me or something! But on a more serious note I intend to vote for him too. His message is strong and he seems like a man of great valour, honour, and courage -- something most politicians have. All we really have to judge many politicians for is their message and voting records, and by those this guy sounds genuine.
I will tell what is botch. I work at a department store that just happens to be one of the top employers in the United States and for most of my eight hour shifts I am within hearing distance of one of their closed circuit television systems which feed customers and employees advertisments. That means, that for those eight hours, I am being subjected to corporate brain-washing techniques through repitition and subtle witty limerics that play on whatever natural insecurities I may or may not have.
The way I see it is that if they are going to blast ads repeatedly at me all day long, I should be compensated in some way.
This article is corporate trash. It's obvious. "Don't worry. You're just being paranoid. The ads are GOOD. Tracking is GOOD." That seems like the underlying tone.
Actually I have to disagree with your opinion on the blacklist. See, you were able to accept these changes. Well, this music is basically property of the RIAA and they merely liscense it to you (or so they claim). Well, you don't like that business model, I don't like it. Many people disagree with it. And when everyone's either black-listed or have boycotted who will buy their crap? And in the meantime something better will begin to replace them.
Let them shoot themselves in the foot if they wish. They are hurting themselves in the long run.
You may not have learned your education in a formal setting but that doesn't mean that you are not smart. Just as that single spelling error may or may not indicate a lack of intelligence. Plus trust me, you are not missing out on anything by not attending college. Formal education sucks pretty much and is very boring for those who like to set their own pace and learn in depth.
I attended college but never recieved my degree. I couldn't afford it. Besides, I don't really care if I go back or not. But one thing I will never do is stop learning and improving my skills because that no matter how intelligent you are or how skilled you can always do better.
If you believe there is something wrong with your country then do what real patroits do and fix the problem before it's too late. The coporations and banks have already enslaved us with debt. They control our media. They control our schools where our nation's children are educated. Is this the kind of path you want America to be on? Corporate surfdom?
If you despise this group of elite so much, then maybe you should revolt against them. I would stand with any man with the courage to so so -- To go against the will of an empire. Even if everyone who participates dies, it still would have been a better fate than to live without liberty and for our children to live without knowing liberty.
I can only hope that your comment is not that of the surrender of your pride, of your liberties, of your very spirit to the tide of fascism that is washing over this country. If you have surrenderred that you have already lost.
What makes you so certain that the poster was white? I live in the deep south (aka "Dirty South" as many blacks like to refer for some reason) and I a sizable portion of the african americans that I know do not like rap or hip-hop "music" and refer to is in a condescending manner. The fact is that you took the poster's comment and ASSUMED by the fact that he trashed rap and made the claim it is not really music as proof he must be white.
So does this mean that if I hypothetically say: -- "Toby Keith is a piece of white trash only tacky people listen to" -- "Jesus was dark skinned" -- "George W Bush is racist" Then would you assume that I was an african american because many african americans do say things like this? I would hope that you at least realise that this is a simple and obvious logical fallacy and that you should not try to determine one's race by their posts unless you have real reason to make such assumptions.
Slashdot Mirror
Ann Coulter, is that you?
actually there was also a "Boondocks" episode about this which claimed the said burger was created by the late Luther Vandross.
