I don't want anyone who would fall for that working with me.

Sounds like a lamer version of a mood ring.

Why would those businesses be targeted if the rioters weren't racist?

Uhh.....

Reminds me of a story my grandfather told me about his experience in the South Pacific. Punchline was "You're a dumb kid, that Japanese guy is a dumb kid, and you both stumbled upon each other. You've got nothing against each other, but because of something people thousands of miles away decided, only one of you was going to walk away that day."

Despite running some masterful election campaigns, he has displayed an amazing ineptitude when it comes to messaging during his reign.

Ahh so he has joined the likes of Trotsky and Che? He'll be in good company, helping Van Jones keep the bench warm.

I suspect your journal will be used as an endorsement for deals.monetize.slashdot.org in the near future.

Being the moderator who could 'bring both sides together' would have been quite a feather in his cap. Rioting and looting within hours (minutes?) of the announcement makes that rather more difficult.

If it took your blood on my hands to defend against your attack, so be it. As the saying goes "better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6".

How does that thinking scale? I'm too lazy to enter into that discussion.

"Free Mumia 2: Electric Boogaloo"

Everyone at my workplace hits reddit in lieu of the places us oldtimers visit.

Do you know anything about running a business? In a service industry, people costs are often a huge portion of a company's overall costs. Minor changes in that structure can have major impact on the bottom line.

Even in traditional manufacturing jobs, where a large percent of the costs are tied up in capital and materials, a modest change in employee costs filters through. Just ask GM and Chrysler.

I'd like to be able to set that as a toggle in my search results for apps.

You oughta temper your glee; we go down, we're taking the whole ball of mud with us.

LOL. It is so cute when someone who has never served brings out the "they'll never attack US citizens!!! DERP!" line.

Here's how it goes down. First, the military brass will come up with some disparaging name for the citizens who are the new enemy, just as they did for every other war:

"Haji" is the troops' term of choice for an Iraqi. It's used the way "gook" or "Charlie" was used in Vietnam. "From 'Gook' to 'Raghead'"

Next, the citizens (the bad ones) are depicted as subhuman. (The government will also direct the news to depict the new enemy as dangerous psychopaths, so the average citizen will not join in the revolt.)

Final step: 6-round burst, every time. Change barrels every 10 minutes.
