You keep voting strategically and I'll keep my ammo. Explain the drive to more laws about gun control. Are these FRINGE topics? Ask a criminal. Politics is not about compromise, politics is about power. Voting may be about compromise but politics certainly isn't. I hate people like you, you're the reason that we're in the position we are. People like you value looks above ability, thought above reason, ideology above reality. How long do you suppose that this country can sustain itself with voters such as yourself given what comes into power? Tell me about compromise when you are looking at the hole in the barrell of a gun and you aren't in control of what happens next. Patriotism only goes so far for ones country when the tyrant is in power, then it's just subservience. No I do not speak of the current administration, though I do take umbrage with the fact that everyone seems to call the President "African American". He's not, he's half. There is another half to that as well. Care to name it? I am not FRINGE because I don't vote. I'm FRINGE because I'll be the one that survives your sorry assed politics and has meat to eat on top of it. Oh, and by the way, there are no polititians that are CLOSEST to me ideologically. There aren't any to you either but you're too complacent to realize it. Keep voting democrat/republican/independent that helps things along nicely. Sooner or later it all evolves back to feudalism and anyone with a fair amount of sense realizes this. Now would you please die off and take the rest of those that think like you with you?

They must have done the survey south of the mason-dixon line,

If I ever meet you in person I'm going to slap you in the mouth. I'm seriously getting tired of people thinking that just because I have a southern accent I'm stupid/ignorant/retarted/racist/superstitious/(insert southern moniker here). The funny thing is that I have yet to meet someone from Minnesota that is friendly, I suppose it's the cold even though I lived in Maine for a bit. It seems a bit odd to me that you folks like to come down here and buy up property like there's no tomorrow and take over the local government to implement you're "it's for the children" laws and yet you can't stand us here dumb rednecks. As an aside, there are several posters from other countries below saying:

But america seems to be special in that it prides itself on it's ignorance, try having an intelligent discussion about ideology with many Americans to see what I mean. It often times seems even the most educated there are also as dumb as rocks in that they will never allow other points of view to penetrate their enormous ideological pride.

Yet we tend to bail out the rest of you when you get into trouble. See World War Two history for references. Thank you and have a nice day.

I mean seriously, most Americans still fail to realise the difference between it's and its even though most of us nonnative speakers are quite fluent with it. We can even tell the difference between you're and your, often even their, there and they're! It just bugs me that there are so few Americans out there today who can actually use their native tongue. Horrible isn't it?

It's non-native by the way. Oh, and have fun while they take away your liberties. Did I use your right? By the way, literacy has little to do with speech. Being able to say your, you're and their, there and they're have relatively little to do with being able to correctly spell out the same thing. On second thought, I'll slap the Minnesotan and shoot the other two! At least we're Americans. Asshats!!!

Startrek.com Shutting Down 260

Curlsman writes to let us know that the fan site startrek.com, operated for 13 years by CBS, is being shut down and its staff laid off. Is this site worth a write-in campaign? From the (perhaps final) post: "Goodbye from the STARTREK.COM Team. Sadly, we must report that CBS Interactive organization is being restructured, and the production team that brings you the STARTREK.COM site has been eliminated. Effective immediately. We don't know the ultimate fate of this site, which has served millions of Star Trek fans for the last thirteen years. If you have comments, please send them to editor @ startrek.com — we hope someone at CBS will read them."

Submission + - Senate Bill 1959 to Create Thoughtcrime (newstarget.com) 1

An anonymous reader writes: "The end of Free Speech in America has arrived at our doorstep. It's a new law called the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, and it is worded in a clever way that could allow the U.S. government to arrest and incarcerate any individual who speaks out against the Bush Administration, the war on Iraq, the Department of Homeland Security or any government agency (including the FDA). The law has already passed the House on a traitorous vote of 405 to 6, and it is now being considered in the Senate where a vote is imminent." Source: http://www.newstarget.com/022308.html
