yah! I have one point [grins ear to ear] Please select the "Trolling" button below and click "Submit", lets see how far negative I can go. serious reply forthcoming. too much work right now.
Grog: My sighting the military was a convienient example, but I would *never* pass up the opportunity to enlighten, so I'll do my best If you are looking for anecdotes: A) I have no need for military service as I am educated! B) I have a very close friend who served five years in the Navy. He went after graduating college, and has since gone back to get his masters. C) I have another friend who served for the PURPOSE of getting his education payed for and now
Messy - you are 100% free to have my encrypted credit card number. zeroes and ones. Heck - give me your email and I'll send it over. If you crack it you're free to charge up as much as you like. can you connect->the->dots ?
Heheh. You're funny, but I wouldn't call being a juvenile pimp a profession ;) Umm.. Microsoft - REVENUE around 34 B I L L I O N. One company. The ENTIRE music industy is lamenting their CD sales (not revenue mind you) falling to a paltry 14 billion. Speakz for itzelf. So, are saying that anything that appeals to the masses should be free? Should all DVD movies be free? Should all console games be free? (Incidentally the RIAA is delusional in ways to
By your line or reasoning, can I assume that if the super-majority supported marriage, then you would whole-heartedly support the passage of laws ensure that right where trampled upon? Interestingly enough, the "separate but equal" theory played a large part in the Mass judges ruling. The dissimilitude between the terms 'civil marriage' and 'civil union' is not innocuous; it is a considered choice of language that reflects a demonstrable assigning of same-sex, largely homosexua
Muggaz what do you do for a living? Just curious. Should...say - software always be free ?
Information wants to be free. bits are bits are bits. zeroes and ones. ponder that. more later.
Arthur C Clarke is quoted as saying "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." By analogy, I ask - does it matter whether we truly have "free will", or if instead there is a greater purpose or destiny which is incomprehensible ? So Edmund, lets assume you knew with *certainty* that you don't in fact have free will and that every action is pre-destined - Would you behave any differently? Would you make different choices?
I would rather fend off a robber with a gun than a stick of butter. On the other hand.. butter is essential for flaky pasteries. But - we should be eating less saturated fats. Wow. This is really a complex issue. marvin. LOOK DOWN AT YOUR KEYBOARD!!! over to the left, more, more, all the way. now stop. go up one, two buttons - see that one labeled "CAPS LOCK"? Press it.
Umm. But I wasn't talking about you looking for attention ? Simplistic - you missed my point. try again.
Lots of people are looking for attention in different ways. SuperPsych - I think your approach, in this particular milleu is... misguided. You may consider going somewhere a bit more nurturing, or grown a thicker shell.
MistfitChicks - The people have not yet spoken !!! Public opinion currently runs towards outlawing gay marriage, and our leader certainly believes this is the right thing to do. The next ten years will certainly bring about some colossal shifts as the younger generation grows up and becomes more engaged in the political process. A somewhat old article really illustrates the trends going into the fut
I'll go you one better. 100% of government spending currently goes to redistribute wealth... That social worker on the state pay working on the hopeless case with the mother of four who's addicted to heroin. Those contracts to Halliburton. Heck, the military is one big welfare program providing a subsidized education to minorities! The entire deparment of transportation grossly subsidizing the retail sector with cheap, effici
Sometimes I have this urge to vote for Bush in a You Made Your Bed Now Lie In It way. Is that wrong? ...god she looks hot in that T-Shirt... I always try to keep in perspective - The particular party-du-jour is less important than the system that is "America(tm)". The pendulum swings, left to right, sometimes it seems to swing extraordinarily far, but, just like the little girl on the swing with the pig tails -
For an introspective person, it may be useful [to not strike up conversations]. But afterall, you are here talking to us.. Why ? I suppose you think we have something interesting to say? Every interaction is a gamble, but c'mon, the gamble is a very small investment - 5 minutes of your time - and maybe someone introduces you to something new that changes your life. Add three inches! etc. There is a phase where you make the judgement call - is this person worth any of my time, five minut
Sorry for the repost. Does this work?
I think deleted_ has a good point. you might like this link, which I think explains a lot: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rap&f=1 Is it a case of There's No Accounting For Taste? One Man's Junk Is Another Man's Treasure? I mean, I like my burgers well-done, but my brother eats em rare. So, I guess thats the deal with it. What kinda stuff are you listening to right now Tarsier? I mean - what do you consider rock?
Too bad the exit poll didn't include a question: "Are you now or have you ever been the recipient of government entitlement?" Then the debatirade would be settled!! An interesting proxy, included in the poll under the table "Vote by Class": Lower Class - [All] 2% - [Gore/Bush/Buchanan/Nader] - 0% Heheh - They get a "special box" to put their vote in :) "I once mistook my superiority for mere arrogance." - anon
Gawd, I'm don't even got one'er dem "Post-Graduate Degree" and see thru yer false reasonin skills. Marriage stats: Is this cause or effect? Would you agree "conservatives" get married at a higher rate? Is the implication that married people have less government entitlements? I would like to see the correlation. Assertion / Facts. Income: The wealthy support conservatives? Wow. This is a shocker! Education: Wow - another shocker. Highly educated people are highly libera
A lot of good topics. The welfare/homeless problem is.. difficult.. so I won't comment on that sub-thread. Upward mobility has DECREASED, lets say [being conservative] since the 70s. This is not an opinion but fact. The Business Week article sited in post #11 is a good "factual" reference. So let's say Brad's first post... >> "You might want to research your topics a bit more. Where do you get these stats?" Is a bi
