Its not unusual in the north for homeless people to commit small crimes during the Fall so they can go to jail for the winter. The police really hate Fall.

go for walks? you could get hit by a car, that's risky. Don't go for walks? Not exercising is dangerous. Spend time outside? you could get skin cancer, not my problem. Don't spend time outside? You're not getting Vitamin D or enough activity, you'll probably have a heart attack.

Basically if you don't live exactly the way that i do, and make all the same judgement calls i do, you're clearly a crazy risk-taker or lazy bum who caused their own problems. My illness, however, is just bad luck.

It must be tough to live your whole life worrying that someone, somewhere is having something good happen that they didn't "deserve". And of course if something bad happens, fuck that person, they obviously did deserve it. got cancer? Fuck you, here's a free bullet, grandma. Go suck some dick in a back alley if you want chemotherapy. Also, we need tort reform so that grandma can't sue the company that told her Asbestos was safe to eat in her breakfast cereal every morning for 30 years even though they had proof it was deadly. I don't want ambulance chasers affecting my 401k.

Fuck you sick people, if you weren't such lazy and immoral people you'd be healthy and rich like me!

God bless America.

Sure, you pay for mine, I'll pay for yours. Average it out over 300 million people and you've got a large insurance pool.

LOL. Your plan for health care reform in America is very straightforward, I'll give you that!

1) Be born to middle class or upper class parents. if your parents don't have insurance, you should have picked a wealthier vagina.
2) Get a job from a company that provides excellent health care. If you are ever fired, laid off, or outsourced, kill yourself. Ignore the fact that fewer companies provide health insurance these days, and that major employers like Wal*Mart will be sure to schedule your work hours so that you never qualify.
3) When you are old, the government will suddenly become an acceptable solution. But not before then, because if you're taking care of old people it's compassion. Taking care of young people is communism.

This story is clearly a troll, thank you for pointing it out. The man obviously has health insurance, as you have so aptly proven -- everyone in America does! He must be wanting to go to jail for the lulz.

Also, if homeless people would stop buying gold dubloons and fine art, maybe they could buy a nice house, too!

Awesome! All you have to do is stay 20 forever, and never get sick and you're set.

Why not?

I'm all in favor of free speech, and the KKK should be able to march down main street just as frequently as the Shriners do. The government shouldn't be in the business of telling us what is acceptable to march for. But if you start spouting racist stuff on my web page or in my living room, I'm going to kick your ass out.

I've built and worked on several Drupal sites, and it is definitely a love/hate relationship. It is a system built by programmers, for programmers, with some site building stuff tacked on. It has gotten better over the years, but it still feels a lot like a college programming project that grew too big. There's lots of theoretical greatness to it, while it seems to have been built by people who never actually built a real web site before. Basic things like adding images, or trying to change layouts has historically been a huge PITA. But every site gets a slogan and primary/secondary menus. WTF?

Merely restating your point does not make it any more valid than it was the first time around.

I wonder if you could take out an "ad" with certain calculus notes buried within it...like having the Ideal Gas Equation or Hooke's Law as a tiny part of a graphic... ^_^

If you don't care for that analysis, here's another.

I find it interesting that you are complaining about the last eight years in the US, yet the article is about Europe...

I'm referencing the U.S. because I'm a resident of the U.S., and have more knowledge of the U.S. government's various malfeasances than I do of the U.K.'s.

And no one was "complaining". I was merely pointing out that the OP's claim that a government is somehow more trustworthy than a "grey hat" is patently absurd.

IMO, it shows the anti-US sentiment, apparently because of the US's more or less high position in the world, as opposed to many European countries that are trying to rival it with the EU, etc., but failing.

IMO, you're reading way too much into my remarks, Sparky.

And yet, The UK and Europe have far worse "wire-tapping" sorts of things than the US. But it's not in vogue to complain about it anywhere but in the US, it seems.

Could you please explain your point, seeing as how you have seemed to have made mine for me at this juncture?

Granted....I'm just making the suggestion based upon the available information that says a Trojan will be involved, which will almost certainly be only written in the M$ flavor...90% of market share and all...

However, as interest in Linux increases, it's only a matter of time before The Powers That Be take notice, and mucking with a repository would be a great way to snare an unsuspecting Linux user. All the more reason to support the growing Paranoid Linux movement...I don't know exactly how effective this sort of thing would be in the real world, but unfortunately, it looks like we're going to have to find out.
