Try going to a college and calling some black women making a huge amount of noise under your dorm room "water buffalo" and see if you get expelled or suspended (it's happened).

It was a private college and charges were later dropped -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_buffalo_incident

Where was that article in the last 2 weeks about some English kid who disagreed with Obama -- seems that he's now forbidden from ever traveling to the United States. Sorry. you're delusional if you think you have freedom of speech under the Democrats.
Yes I remember the story too, I cant find links right now, for me the whole story wasn't as black and white as you describe it to me.

GTFO.

Sincerely.

The rest of the world.

I you're being overly simplistic:

  * Smoke weed but not tobacco -- perhaps means you get new freedoms of legally doing drugs, but the government wants to regulate how much tobacco you consume, and not completely stop you from doing so.
  * Censure from saying hateful words -- since when? There's such thing as first amendment, but it doesn't guarantee that no one would think you're an arsehole after you exercised it.
  * There is no health benefits of eating fast food, there is an obesity epidemic, government must regulate it. See tobacco, catalytic converters. No one is saying that you'd be prohibited from eating it, but all the government could do is: make it more healthy, make people eat less of it, remove corn subsidies, and in general be more proactive about it.
  * Alcohol is regulated soda isn't, soda is almost just as bad for you (see alcoholic cirrhosis vs. fatty liver disease). Also it's partially government's fault that we decrease our intake of fats and instead started eating really unhealthy carbs. Also I recommend watching this video that exactly explains why soft drinks, and sugar in general are really bad -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM .
  * To the credit of democrats I'm yet to see anyone who doesn't agree with them to be called 'terrorist enabler' or 'traitor' or anything like that.

You also generalize to a great degree, there's liberal wing of democrats and there's a conservative wing of democrats, there's constant infighting. Name one elected republican politician except Ron Paul who is for personal freedoms? I dare you.

I hate this false equivalences, yes democrats are pussies and are bargaining away too much of their principles, but republicans are batshit crazy at this point they have no principles, have you seen new republican manifesto -- all empty slogans. What is common here? Now you propagating an idea of being complete cynic and not doing anything about the situation, and feeling at the same time; that's just counterproductive.

It ran out of oil. Your fan cheap 'bearing' consists of a iron stick suspended in oil, you just need to find an oiling point, and pour a drop of oil in it every 2-3 years.

It can get complicated with laptops, but still doable:

Yes we do, Glenn Back hasn't, so I though you were trying to humor us.

DR. Glenn Beck ???!

You must be joking.

A libertarian website runs an old rehash of a story which was already been discussed here on Jun 27, where everyone agreed that Liberman is an idiot.
Nothing new happened since then, but the midterms on the horizon and the libertarians need to show that the government(Democrats) is bad and everyone needs to vote for them(Republicans, tea party, whatever).

Slashdot editors, of course, posted this story without giving it so as much as a single thought, I mean is it that hard to google 'internet kill switch site:slashdot.org" ? I'm not new here, still, can I blame slashdot editors for everything, can I?

Nope, your analogy is still flawed. The illegality of drug trafficking means high upfront costs and high penalties for everyone doing business, but for the free market you need equal access for all participants, and in this case you got all the conditions for oligopolies to form. Thus cartels. This isn't an example of a natural progression of a free market.

Cocaine.

Err... No. If you think about it "Columbian drug cartels', and a cartel is the farthest thing from free market.

Meh, I've got Lexmark 250dn, I've could have gotten the chip when I last refilled it, but I opted not to and as a result a yellow warning light for 'low toner' is constantly on.

Although what I've got is a cheap model, maybe they haven't bothered with a proper chip.

I just followed a few links from the one you've given. And yeah, apparently there is a national intranet in North Korea Kwangmyong with 'free' dial-up access. I wonder if anyone getting on that network is being monitored.

Anyway this whole thing looks so deliciously similar to a network in movie Avalon. Actually it's like that movie is reenacted in real life in North Korea. Oppressive communist government? Check. Network somewhat accessible to the general public, from whimsically unreliable terminals. Check (I got a hunch that all the network equipment in NK is old an whimsically unreliable). Brain-computer interface. Not so much, but I believe in the movie it was more of a plot device than anything.

Hahaha, I wish I had mod points, because your post is hilarious, though I'm not entirely sure if you did that on purpose or not.

Also I truly appreciate the internal inconsistency of your argument: we achieve sustainable growth & consumption, but if democrats try to do anything about it, republicans are better because they are worse.

All in all it's a jolly good idea of fixing our current environmental problems by eliminating majority of the population.

I'm intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe you your newsletter.

Oh please, nature doesn't really care of us either, and the planet doesn't have a point of view, so please don't presuppose that it was in some sort of balance and we somehow ruining it.

Also, I really like your prophetic statement about collapse of global 'ecology/economy' and what do you mean by it in the first place?

I just went to wikipedia and read all about it.

The really scary thing about maggots, that their infestation may lead to myiasis.

Actually it's 07 Pontiac G5, but who really cares.(It turns out it's really hard to get a manual cobalt with such amenities as power windows).

At first I wanted to buy Jetta Diesel, but for my budget I though that a 3 yr old GM car would be more reliable than 6-9 yr old VW.

Anyway, for just going to work, and running errands on the weekends I average around 7 L/100Km (31MPG), but if I instead take an extended weekend trip somewhere far, I can average 6.5 L/100KM(36MPG). Right now trip computer shows 6.9 L/100Km average from last 3-4 fill ups (I haven't really traveled a lot lately).

The best mileage I've ever gotten, when I was driving on a country road with average speed 80-90 Km/h with five people in the car plus full trunk and having air conditioner running -- I got 6.3 L/100Km(37MPG).
