Pretty fucking terrible, but it looks like things are going to get there on their own.

Yeah this really heralds the great uprising of WoW nerds.

Get out.

Military contracts would be completely unenforceable in any other setting. Theres a reason why they would be. Let me add that I'm not saying military contracts are bad, but the contract itself doesn't justify the treatment.

You live in a basement don't you.

Catastrophic insurance is actually worse, because it discourages people from getting that checkup. In the end, it pays the insurance company more to make sure you get that oil change than it does to pay for the engine replacement if you DON'T get that oil change. Most models of public health focus on preemptive medicine, it just pays out better.

What they should be, and what they are, are two very different things. I personally agree with you, but this bullshit needs to stop.

"Internet Service Providers have argued against being classified as a "common carrier" and, so far, have managed to do so. The argument of ISPs against common carrier classification has largely conflated "telecommunications carriers" with "common carriers," assuming that if they were labeled as "common carriers," they would be regulated under Title II of the Communications Act by the FCC. This is incorrect; as noted above, a firm can be a common carrier without being a telecommunications carrier. The FCC proceeding that established that Internet networks are not telecommunications carriers is the Computer Inquiries. A later FCC report, IN RE FEDERAL-STATE JOINT BOARD ON UNIVERSAL SERVICE, Report to Congress, 13 FCC Rcd. 11501 (1998), reviewed this policy (this report was not an order and did not have the effect of regulatory law - it is however, an excellent capture of FCC policy at that time)." - From the article you linked.

Perhaps you should read it?

People mod prison rape up all the time. Some folks find shit funny that you don't find funny. It happens.

No, this is either TediousAnalogyGuy or PretentiousAnalogyGuy.

There is also a good deal of transsexuals on slashdot. Personally I wouldn't use slashdot as a dating site.

Yeah, the issue isn't just about you. Its about arresting the spread so those people with issues have a less chance of catching it.

I agree, instead of crates we should put chest high walls.

I'm not saying this detracts from what your going for, but Labeling Theory seems to create a self fulfilling prophecy in the whole thing. I've always considered if an interesting thing. You call them hard criminals, you treat them like hard criminals, they become hard criminals.

Ever since the "spent all my mod points" achivement, its become an obsession of his.
