There is plenty wrong with _just_ wanting to get acquired. Many times, acquisition is predatory, in the sense that a bigger company wants your tech, but not your people. So you stand on the backs of hard working people until you get your golden parachute, and leave them with nothing but unemployment when you go.
This sucks for the people let go, but there is no reason to lose out on a golden parachute if that is what you want. If offered a ton of money, how many of those people would keep working for you - and do you have a right to expect them to stay with you for less money?
Does the idea of no God or afterlife bring you joy or any feelings (besides smugness?)
I've had both a wife and son die. It really brings me sadness and feels me with emptiness to think that there is no after.
I know my wishes do not effect or create a reality that does not exist, but I have faith that God is there and that there is more to our lives than what we have here.
Also, for the record, I have always had faith, this is not something new driven by a desperate hope to see the woman I love as well as my son again.
Amazing how you have made this into the GOP being slimy when the whole issue is due to the Democrat controlled IRS (during that time-period) losing all relevant emails from a large period of time. That is what is slimy here.
I'm sure you're not. I haven't looked at the article, but my guess would be Oregon. Kind of like how if it said New York, I would not assume they were talking about the city in Texas.
On the opposite, most of the regulation was repealed over last thirty years
So you are arguing against regulatory committees and rules created in the past 30 years ago and hoping we can get back to where we were during the Reagan years? I can support that.
The rest of your post is pretty much just a personal attack with no substance but at least it lengthened you post to look like you had content to provide.
That's because there were not as many regulations then as there are now. It got to the point where instead of the government and businesses working together, it was a war. Business won it and "big business" gets a stronger foothold against small business every time the liberal anti-corp "do-gooders" create new regulation.
It's an Obama / democrat thing to compare everything to the cost of the Iraq war to act like whatever they are pushing is cheap in comparison - health care being one of the loudest examples. The comparison is usually as relevant as justifying buy a phone because it's cheaper than a car.
I blame SGU for killing SF series too. Boy was that an awful show.
It would have been better to have just started a new SF universe than trying to trick fans (and then whining about those same fans) into thinking that this was going to be another Stargate like show - sure they used stargates, but that could have been substituted for any telaportation device. The biggest mistake is they started with characters that were in the same emotionally bitter and exhausted state as BSG, but without the years of buildup that BSG took to get the characters there.
My city (San Antonio) is pretty big but we do not have dozens of competition. For cable providers, we have Time Warner and Grande Communications (but Grande only services a few places in the city.)
Sounds like you have fallen in line to the "indoctrination" that you were speaking of. In fact, you seem to have surpassed it. http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
With the right indoctrination, you can teach a man that his enemy is not human.
Firefly was good. Angel and Buffy early seasons were good as well (although I do agree that Angel was at it's best with Tim Minear at the helm.)
Dollhouse was terrible. It was terrible for many reasons but the biggest was because it had so much potential to be more than it was. The TV show Marvel is pretty bad as well.
Cabin in the Woods was clever marketing. It's great to make the type of movie that if someone doesn't like it, you can just say that they didn't get it. I liked it but not the end (and yes, I understood the point of the ending and all the wonderful metaphors involved.)

Now, I don't care if you ever go in the ocean, but your reasoning so flawed it's almost funny.
Lighten up. It was clearly suppose to be funny
I'm glad I don't have to face that choice.

You used that trick on us for health care.
I guess you plan to use that tactic on each program you think that everyone should be paying for.
I'm sure you're not. I haven't looked at the article, but my guess would be Oregon. Kind of like how if it said New York, I would not assume they were talking about the city in Texas.

I know you really want it to, but USA-ians is not going to take off. Fetch has a better chance.

I think it's the opposite of how you read this.

If his goal was cash instead of owning the team. Considering he was not selling before this, I don't think it was his goal.
It's not like he was poor, living paycheck to paycheck, and now has 2 billion dollars.
Why do you think that the team is still worth what it was in 1981?
This is actually the sort of thing I was afraid was going to happen, sending a message that it's very profitable to be a bigot.
What did you think was going to happen? Did you expect the government or someone else to confiscate it? Or for no one to bid on the team?

This isn't capitalism. Otherwise, the USAF would be buying the cheapest or the best - not stuck on one foreign vendor.

The problem is, there are poor old people as well.
Nope. The future is synthetic food if you can get it. Algae and worms will be the expensive treats for the top 1%. .
Why else would you want to be a liberal Hollywood actor, sports star, reporter, or politician?

When downloading, I always get the SD stuff unless it is a scifi show. And hard drive space is cheap.
I do the same when deciding whether to purchase an bluray movie or dvd.
I can definently see the difference when contrasting the to, but if I never see the show in HD, I am willfully ignorant of what I am missing.
So how come states are able to regulate who sales alcohol?
And was torn apart by racist liberals during the nomination process
I'm hoping this will be more difficult to kill since they have a freak with sprint right now.
