How about the checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, TX? And then being told by my lawyer that they could strip the car down to the hubcaps and there wasn't jack I could do about it? How about the term "presumed to have crossed the border if within X miles"?

Yes. It gives me time to pull out the iPhone and start recording.

So all you have to do is save up somewhere in the vicinity of $20,000 (plus living expenses. You won't be working while you're campaigning.) just to get some low-level government position. You then spend 4-10 years escalating your way up the line till your somewhere that you can make decisions. Now if you're a clean and respectable politician, you will almost instantly be rejected. If you ARE elected, you be ostracized and put on some board overseeing the clam population in Nevada. So yes, you COULD make decisions if the entire system wasn't based around the fact that the people in charge don't want to give up the power or money they have accumulated.

What I love even more is that tollways were originally meant to pay for the construction of the roads that they existed on. And then the governments running them looked and said "Holy cow! That's a lot of money. Roads done...Hmmmmm." And now they're permanent features. Never feel bad for blowing through one of these money-sucking machines.

So every time Oscar takes a step, have it shine a laser point somewhere. Cyborg cat:). I mean all you're really missing is the electro part. He is definitely lacking a function (walking) and it's being replaced...just no motor/pistons/auto-turrets yet.

I don't have a problem with us adding genes to plants. Hell, start adding genes to people! Put computer chips in someone else's brain first...then I'll jump in! Let the furries live their dreams!

Where I have a problem is when Monsanto comes in after the fact and says "Well, well, well...awfully good looking crops ya have there. Be a shame is something were to happen to them. Like say our dominant gene with a kill switch enabled in it were to cross pollinate with your current crop....a reeeeaaaal shame. Guess we have no choice BUT to sue you. You're in cahoots with Mother Nature to steal our IP after all. Oh and your barn looks flammable too."

You just need a cooler wife and kids. Deep six them and head down to the frat party across the block and pick some up there.

I think even you have it a little wrong. Give me pure Darwinism/survival of the fittest as a government/economic system. We might be living in an apocalyptic wasteland but we'd be on the moon for sure! Plus I'd pay good money/barter good chickens/bash good heads to see the elections for the next President in the THUNDERDOME!

1)You forgot your sarcasm tags.
2)You stay the hell away from that bull's ballsack. We put up with a lot of shit here, but that's just not kosher. Except in the rodeo....
3)My boss (who is foreign) makes cowboy references more often than I do.
4)It's a joke. Move along citizen.

All I can see in both of your sentences is the word "gaping" and then the idea of a bot-net that denies you service AND makes every picture on your HDD and background goatse.

I've got a solution for both sides. We have IVF clinics making lots of little babies/not-babies. Now this isn't going to change unless you can find a cure for sterilization because if you even thought about trying to deny the biological ticking time bomb that is a middle aged lady with no bun in the oven.....well I'm gonna get popcorn and sell tickets to be quite honest.

So here's my solution/idea: IVF clinics stop ALL work on ESC, if and only if every woman who opposes ESC opens her vag to accept these little squirts of God's love. Cause if I see one more horse-faced, wrinkly, angry, Bible/Qu'ran/Talmud/Whatever-Scientoligists-thump-thumping, screaming bag-woman holding a sign proclaiming some omnipotent being's wrath upon those who dare go against her religion and she's not about to pop out one more drain on the economy then I say you have no foot, leg or even soap box to stand on and gtfo.

Most people aren't as educated as you give them credit for. The average person on Slashdot is usually more educated than your retarded monkey. And usually you're hanging out with your nerd friends. Recently I've been in the ghetto (non-sequitur I know) in Texas and Lousiana for my job. The large part of these people are uneducated about basic physics...stuff that affects them every single day. You think they're going to find the time to figure out this variable rate mortgage?

I don't mean to be spiteful or derogatory but these people are woefully uneducated and a lot of them are stupid (which by this I mean they know they're ignorant but don't care and just want to continue like they have been doing). You place a higher value on people's abilities than I do obviously but I can only relate what I've seen (given my own biases of course:).

You had me at "invert the patient", "mild anesthetic" and oddly enough "evil choking as depicted by the film" O_o.

A non-valid argument is expecting a company to take blame for things above and beyond the call of what they're making. If you'll notice your xbox has a longer flatter side that should prove more stable than the shorter standing position. If you have pets and earthquakes...make the right choice.

Normally I'm all for reaming MS. If you're Xbox is dying because of heat issues and can only run in the standing position that's a different problem and yes IS MS's fault. But scratching a game disc cause you're tango-ing with your Xbox cause of a geek-gasm over GoW2...not really their problem.

It would be like expecting a hairdryer to deflect a bullet. Good thought. And with enough engineering would be damn cool. But a hairdryer was meant to dry hair. Not deflect bullets. An Xbox was meant to run games in a stationary position. Not a moving one. Deal with it.

You also own a broken sarcasm detector good sir :).
