Here I am, in America, trying to reach third world poverty level, and you're telling me those third world farmers wish they had it as good as I?

Since when is America a democracy?

It's a Constitutional Republic. Not a democracy.

What happened to civics classes?

They are fighting for their land, sovereignty, and culture. It's all being stripped from them day in and day out. Not 500 years ago, still today.

You can not live on this island, without seeing this mountain. It's visible from everywhere.

Actually, the Hawaiians have been protesting the telescopes since the 60's. And Kaho'olawe bring blown apart too.

Just because you haven't heard about the protests, doesn't mean they aren't happening.

You are so full of shit. This has nothing to do with money, but rather self rule. It's about Hawaiians being held at gunpoint to sign over sovereignty. It's about the dozen plus other observatories already there (built under protest also). It's about Kaho'olawe being blown to bits for decades. It's about a lot of things, but money isn't one.

Journal Journal: Movie Review: Eragon 4

Journal by Sylver Dragon on Monday December 18, 2006 @11:00AM

I'll start off by saying that I have read and liked the book. While it followed many of the fantasy stereotypes it was overall well written and a good read. Since the movie is supposed to be a retelling of the book, I'll compare the two from time to time.

Last Chance to Help Free Ryzom 280

Posted by Hemos on Monday December 18, 2006 @11:00AM from the i-call-on-the-community dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With the consistent influx of MMORPG's in the last few years it was obvious that many would fall by the wayside, one of those to fall is Ryzom, as you might be aware it is now going to be up for sale, and in an enterprising move for open source there is an initiative to buy Ryzom and put it under the GPL, much like Blender was in the past. However, time is short, apparently "Pledges must be made within the next few days, since the deadline for the final bid is expected sometime before Wednesday, December 19th". Already there is over 150,000 Euros donated and the FSF has donated 60,000!! If you (like me) can see the benefit of having a fully developed MMORPG that is completely open source just donate a little, quickly!"
