He must be really tired from trying to stay relevant.

Probably more like stoned out of his mind. I wonder how slow this tech will make your computer?

That line in TFS, "experimenting with chemicals"... I did that as a kid. When I almost burned the house down my dad took away my chemistry set. Someone needs to turn in their nerd license. Call a spade a spade, it isn't "experimenting with chemicals" it's "abusing drugs." An eight year old making gunpowder is experimenting with chemicals.

McAffee is a loon. Does he really think he can outwit the NSA'a army of network engineers and computer scientists? If the NSA wants your communications, they'll have them. McAfee's as well (and most likely already have the plans to his device with countermeasures already in place).

Thanks, but it looks like other folks had plenty.

I just said pretty much the same thing to someone who took offense at the comment. "Deviant" shouldn't have a negative spin, charity is deviant behavior. Mother Theresa exhibited deviant behavior. People shouldn't be so uptight about words and instead look at the word as communicating exactly what the dictionary says it communicates.

FWIW I pity gays because of the bigotry they're subjected to. I especially dislike the "God hates fags" preachers and feel especially sorry for a gay that wanders into one of their churches. God loves everyone and your sins are no worse than mine or anyone else's and are none of my business.

Obviously nowadays, even for people who are aware of this, we still put quite personal things into our emails.. stuff that we wouldn't quite say in public.

Sheesh, kids... How naive.

I hope you're wrong and fear you may be right.

We're not in disagreement. I vote neither D nor R, I smoke pot. Why would I vote for someone who wants me in jail?

Patents and copyrights? They're in lockstep.

That was my point, the GP thought it was an Obama thing when it doesn't matter who is in the white house, they're all the same.

I believe you misunderstand me, rather than being binary there's not much difference between the mainstream parties. I smoke pot, do you think I'd vote for someone who wants me in prison? Neither the Greens nor the Libertarians want me in jail.

And that's not the only objection I have to the single party with two names, patent and copyright law being two. I want the Pirate Party to take root here.

Thanks, even though my karma is pretty solid even though I've been bombed a few times. Most folks seem to like my posts, I only write what I'd want to read.

Yes, homosexuality isn't unique to our species. And I should have been more clear when I commented.

You can't be for killing one species of animal, and against killing another.

Whales don't poop on my car! And... and... STAR TREK IV!!!

More seriously, I agree with your educators... but then, I love education so...

The problem is that it does not matter who you would have voted for.

Exactly. You nailed it. Which is why I vote third party, IOW "none of the above".

The implication was "Obama bad, Republicans good." Which to my mind is nonsense, I don't think it would matter who was in the white house, the NSA would still be spying on us with the POTUS' blessings.

I wonder what would have happened if they'd both campaigned on a "spying on you is good for you" platform.

Odd, yes. Funny? I'm not laughing.
