Jon Stewart is right. The media pretends to provide balance, but the truth is, they're no longer serving the public. They're really just serving the politicians
How can you write that? You just argued for 6 paragrahs or so how the media severs themselves, and at the end you write how it's all a media-politician conspiricy.
Hmm, maybe there is some residual tin-foil left in your hat.
So when talking shit to other news show he can be "Guy with most relible news show" but when someone points out a valid flaw he gets to become "Guy with fake news show who has no standards".
He has to raise his standards because if he does not, everything coming out of his mouth pertaining to fakeness on news shows is irrelivant bullshit.
What would be even cooler if that when you pulled into your driveway the headunit and your home PC automagically sync with each other. Wouldn't that be badass?
They have what they call a "virtual terminal", it's a web form where you can manually type in an order rathen then have the order be inputted though your company's website. This form is supposed to check order id, credit card number, customer name, etc to see if you are accidently duplicating orders.
Well, that monday the terminal decided that every order put through where the cc# matched a previous order was a duplicate even if the order id was different. That means if I had any returning customes BofA refused to process the order!
I rigged out my own form that passed the info thourgh their credit card gateway stuff to get around this problem, but there is no way you can say real banks never have any problems.
A 50+ year old copkiller cold case was sovled by the LAPD last year. All the homicide detectives had to do was just check the fingerprint found at the scene against the FBI's computers and they found their man.
Matching fingerprints isn't as easy as searching Google but it's pretty damn easy compared to olden days (the 80's) where the two prints were put side by side and someone had to visually compare them.
After that murder case was solved the LAPD decided to assign a group people to work on these cold cases. They have tons of physical evidence that can be matched against different databases (blood, fingerprints, DNA, etc.). All they need is the manpower to go through it.
The US has constently had this happen. Geez, thinking quickly I don't think we have ever gone to war in a 100% just matter.
Here, before I get a bunch of flames I'll take care of the obvious ones right now.
WWII: Japan bombed Pearl Harbor because the US forced everyone to stop selling them oil and steel in reponse to Japan's bullshit in China. We could have done something diplomatically instead of forcing them into a war.
American Revolution: A bunch of rum runners and various shady businessmen (for the most part, Paine, Jefferson, Henry obviously aren't including in this group) decided that wanted free reign on the colonies. Think the Boston Tea Party was about freedom? The tea they threw into the bay was cheaper then the smuggled tea being sold in the city.
WWI: Britin conned us into this war, Zimmerman letter aside, although what the fuck was Mexico gonna do against us?
Damn, those are only ones I can think of that are even close. What wars has the US, or any country in the world for that matter, gotten involved in that weren't built upon complete crap?
In fact, I think that every state and/or locale should be evaluated for what is naturally occuring and make locals pay the insurance and/or increase the building codes.
DONE!, well at least in California. Earthquake insurance is definetly in effect. I rent so I'm not sure but I think earthquake insurance costs more the rest of the homeowner insurance (fire, flood, etc) combined.
Also, our building codes are heavily modified after we learn why certain buildings fell down after a major quake.
Actually you got it wrong. The Big Earthquake comes and the whole rest of the US except for California falls into the sea. It's gonna happen right after Los Angeles beats Anaheim in the World Series.
Yep, going into the streets sure stopped the bombs from falling.
Back to my original point. Every war has had people protesting it. They did it in the Capitol bulding and their names began with words such as "Senator" and "Congressmen". You know, people that can actually make a difference, not people who just want their voice heard.
Meanwhile, China and India are still exempt and have absolutly no restrictions and can emit all the greenhouse gas they damn well please. Looks like your policy vacuum is alive and well.
But because of the 2nd Ammendment the woman is carrying a.45 automatic. She double-taps both would-be rapists in their foreheads. The vote is moot and the rights of the minority are upheld.
This story has be passed around and it has fueled the "The US Gov is evvviiiiiiil" fires for a while. The problem is that it is very misleading.
These journalists got in trouble because they didn't have the correct visa. In the past the rule that required foreign journalists to fill out some extra paperwork was not enforced but in these times of shoe inspection seems like they would have looked into the immigration rules a little closer.

If I tell everyone your mother whores all over town, I'm a bad person (with bad credibility) even though I'm telling the truth.
Geez, I'd have better search results by taking my cat and throwing it my keyboard. The built in search in XP sucks.

Automate? You've been watching to many movies. Forensic science takes a whole bunch of people that start their names with the word "Doctor".
It's not like CSI, I'm sorry.
Bank of America's Merchant Services website had some serious problems the week of 9/20/2004.

Sorry, that's not a "we" but an "I". Some of us refuse to be cowards and will vote for the right canidate, not against a so called "greater" evil.Yep, that's middle of the road thinking right there.
we can't even consider voting for a 3rd party anymore.
Really? I dare you to find a war the US got involved in where there wasn't widespread protests.
WWII, check. Spanish-American, check, WWI, check. Mexican-American, check. Desert Storm, check.
Just because a bunch of college kids on break didn't block traffic doens't mean protests didn't happen.

Not sure who he as voted for be he is registered Libertarian.
That shows up bad on your credit report.
And has sex scenes that are by far the most uncomfortable to read. Sounds like Stephenson to me all right.
