    Is it possible to defeat the terrorists?

    There are 2 things to consider. First are the true terrorists. Terrorists come in all different flavors - some Arab, some European, some even American (anybody remember McVeigh? Or the Unabomber?). These people you can't beat - they are bound & determined to cause harm, and they will, and...

    Hoffa says Kerry wants to drill ANWR - *EDIT* Remarks by Hoffa incorrect and taken out of context

    I hadn't heard about this before... I'm already leery of Kerry... if this turns out to be true, Nader can chalk up another vote.

    Kerry plan to lower gasoline prices..we will end up paying the same as in France!

    I'd like to see this! Of course, I won't with Cheney and his lil' sidekick Dubya in power.

    Bush changes tune, No longer "The War President", goes back to "The Compassionate President"

    You forgot his 2000 campaign promise of "No nation-building" Well, except Afghanistan, because we bombed their caves... And of course Iraq, because we invaded them "for our own good"... And don't start with the "9/11 changed all of that" bullsh!t - I'm sure the UN would happily take over...

    Notebook memory - Transcend?

    I picked it up and put it in my T40, no problems so far. Granted I haven't had time to do much with it yet, but... Seems like it was a hot deal!

    Why Do Liberals Like You, Al Franken, Hate America?

    I agree with the many others who have said raising a child is NOT mostly a matter of black and white - unless you include being respectful and open-minded about ALL people, regardless of race, sex, nationality, economic status, sexual preferences, and looks. However, I have not raised children...

    Why Do Liberals Like You, Al Franken, Hate America?

    Actually - I agree with your post :) While I don't like the idealogical agenda the Bush administration has (which seems to be representative of the conservatives as a whole), I don't think that the current Democratic party is although that much better. I definitely agree with them more, but...

    Why Do Liberals Like You, Al Franken, Hate America?

    Did you even bother to read Moonbeam's post? If you did, can you understand that there is a difference between morals and freedom borne of love, and authority borne of fear? I think Moonbeam did an excellent job of summarizing the argument - conservatives like a strong, direct authority who...

    DeLay calls for national sales tax

    I think a national sales tax is a good idea, actually - if you exempt basic goods, and luxury items have a little higher tax rate, then I think it would have a nice cooling effect on the over-consumption of our society.

    Electoral College: Keep It or Get Rid of It?

    That's a different argument all together. 30 million CA'ians didn't vote against the ethanol additives while a couple thousand farmers from the midwest voted for them. I will say this - CA has 53 representatives, while the midwest (IA, WI, MN, ND, SD, NE) only has 26 - less than half. If CA...

    Electoral College: Keep It or Get Rid of It?

    No one argues that (or at least I don't ;)) - the question is, HOW MUCH more power should 10 million LA people have than 10,000 Idaho farmers? 1,000x more (ie Idaho isn't even a blip on the radar)? The problem is "mob rule" - the oppression of the minority by the majority. If 10 million LA...

    Electoral College: Keep It or Get Rid of It?

    Do you even understand how the electoral college works? Delegates are chosen by state law - and, in most states (48, I think), all of the chosen delegates are of the same party (aka the "winner-take-all" system), based on the entire popular vote of that state. There's nothing broken with the...

    I Won't Drink To This

    And so, even assuming the Clinton administration arbitrarily classified mercury as a toxic substance (which, I thought it always was, so I don't know what additional classification was claimed here), the fact that the Bush administration ignored and prevented scientific & economic analysis...

    Electoral College: Keep It or Get Rid of It?

    The real reason your vote doesn't count isn't because of the electoral college, it's because of your state's decision to use the "winner-take-all" method of choosing electors. Here's a quote I agree with from the article conjur linked to: That gives everyone in the US the same presidential...

    Tell Me Why I shouldnt Vote For Bush And Should For Kerry.

    Succintly? Clinton lies about having an affair and is impeached. No lives (American or otherwise) were lost in the process. Bush lies about WMD and the "imminent threat" of Iraq, goes to war, kills 500+ Americans and thousands of Iraqi citizens, and has the balls to proclaim himself a "war...

    Have you ever thought Creationism is something we simply cannot comprehend because of our LACK of scientific knowledge?

    I understand what the OP is getting at - but to look at the discussion from a scientific / rational perspective, consider the following... You've got to define your variables and their contexts. So for starters, you have to define God - what is God? Then, if you are arguing for Creationism as...

    Emachines M6807 now with $200 MIR(s) @ CC

    I saw this deal too - it's OOS online and no stores within 100 miles of my zip code carry it. I don't know why they even bother advertising it... I'm in the market for a laptop, although I don't need the DVD+-RW so I'd rather save the money & get the M6805 (or a Thinkpad T40/41, I'm still...

    Was Paul Wellstone Murdered? Investigation by Michael C. Ruppert

    Frankly, I like Ruppert's report more than the NTSB's. Sometimes coincindences are just that, but this one seems to be a little too "convenient." Blaming the weather, when local experts deny that the weather was a significant concern? Blaming the pilots, when there were 2 fully-qualified and...

    Hot?? ThinkPad T41 for $1750 plus free bundle (save $650)

    Now that gays are getting married how has your life been affected?

    Should Governor Schwarzenegger send in the national guard to stop the San Francisco Mayor?

    DealMonkey has it right - they technically aren't breaking any law, the way I read it. The marriage licenses SF is issuing are simply "not valid or recognized in the state of California". So the city is issuing licenses that don't mean anything. Big whoop. As for you who get all high &...

    Why torture should be a prerequisite to the death penalty - Philly homeless man rapes 8 y/o

    I hate hearing about such heinous crimes as much as the next ATOT'er, but people need to think about consequences rationally instead of emotionally. Would I love to beat his ass? Hell yeah! But state-sanctioned torture? I don't think so. Nor state-sanctioned execution. Not because this...

    Bush on Meet The Press tomorrow morning (This place should be hopping!)

    Dang, I missed it this morning. Anyone know where I can find a vidcap of it? Thanks! Edit: Found the transcript here. MSNBC also has some video, but it apparently requires WMP9, which I refuse to download.

    another thread for me to get flamed in...

    A couple of comments - Caitlion, don't take it personally, but for those of us who are a few years older (I'm 23), you realize you do a LOT of growing up in your late teens / early twenties. I felt I was very mature for my age (still do, really ;)), but looking back I see there was still a lot...

    ok so what's the deal with nipples?

    Because, frankly, corporate America needs to keep pushing the envelope, and the religious, family-values political types need to pretend they are "fighting the good fight". Over the last century, we're getting down to the point where there's not much left to compromise over. Panties & shorts...

    Why is it legal to show male nipples in public?

    Here's another (conspiracy theory) perspective.... Women can't show their breasts because then it won't be as "tantalizing" or "erotic". I mean, think about it - what's REALLY more sexy & seductive: a small bikini (leaving just enough hidden for your dirty imagination to fill in the gaps?) or...

    Eug's Prius 2004 (Pix!)

    I'm curious.... what would happen with Bush vs. Kucinich?

    Definitely Kucinich. I even wrote a few campaign letters tonight! And I mean *wrote* - not typed, not photocopied, but actually wrote, with a pen. I still think he's got a chance to make a strong showing before the convention rolls around. What I like most about him is that he's up-front -...

    Went with Ameritrade and invested in some stocks.

    Ok, I'm going call BS. While I generally agree with the concept (random stock-picking > avg wall street professional), hyperbole is not "empirical fact". If you have information showing that monkeys were trained to throw darts at newspapers, and the stocks those darts hit did better than the...

    This is complete BS

    I started using an elliptical machine a few weeks ago, and it's good exercise for cardio & toning my legs, but, really, it's not very fun moving in place. Running I've never been particularly fond of (terrible side aches), and besides, with the ice & snow on the ground in Wisconsin, running is...
