Its unacceptable behavior from anyone even expecting to continue being an employee. Those meetings, when couple by her habitual tendency to miss meetings with people that weren't even a part of her company are ridiculous. It boggles my

What is his justification for voting against? Unless his argument was that the bill is inadequate, I can't really see a good reason.

by phaus 12y ago
While you are correct that there's no such thing as perfection, this bill is so far from the changes that are needed that its arguably not worth passing. When you pass a watered-down bill, that buys a decade or more for the opposing si

Not sure how one can be pro mass surveillance and anti-patriot act at the same time. Fuck that guy.

Our revolution had much better chances because, in spite of the seemingly overwhelming odds, we still had quite a bit going for us, unlike the North Koreans. I never suggested that we were battling an oppressive regime. Literally the entire

The FBI recently rewrote its mission statement to reflect that fact that it is now an intelligence agency in addition to being a law enforcement organization. It has been operating as an intelligence agency for a long time, they just finall

I'm glad they released a 4.7" phone, but the plus is just ridiculous.

When I talk about accountability in politics, I want accountability for the near-universal corruption. I want the 500+ member royal family we have established in the United States to follow the same rules as everyone else, and to go to pris

I'll give it a try. If I stick with it for long enough, I'll let you know how I'm doing.

Thanks for answering. I might give SCII a try. I've played RTS games casually on a few occasions, just never long enough to get good at them. I just want to play a game where I can feel like I'm making progress. I have a follow-up

Do you think most people could reach such a high level through practice and dedication, or do you think without talent/natural ability that one would plateau well before reaching the master league? My game of choice is Counterstrike, a

I like how you assume that anyone who disagrees with you must just be some kind of an idiot who bases his opinions off of marketing gimmicks and the opinions of Apple's competitors. I was basing my opinion off of my personal experience

If you buy a device that lacks flash support, and five years later everyone else finally gets around to trying to stop making things in flash, then it was a stupid idea for the device to lack flash support at the time you bought it. Sure, a

Even if it was a software problem (which according to timr it apparently wasn't), it would still be 100% the fault of the medical staff. Its absolutely ridiculous that the people caring for a patient don't even fucking talk to one

This guy is an idiot. The "smart" cards that the government uses aren't intended to help government officials hide incriminating information from the public. The media has a habit of seeking out young, naive Soldiers and soli

Honest question here. What specifically did you dislike about my original comment?

The entire point of the thread was to discuss unpopular viewpoints. Apparently I won, because instead of intelligent discourse I just got down-voted.

I believe that people who don't vote can be just as patriotic as those who do. When a person votes during a presidential election, all that is accomplished is the person is making a choice between 1 of 2 carbon copy shit-bags that have

Yes. Using the card to steal from Dunkin Doughnuts counts as black hat. If he purchased a single cup of coffee 1 time, I'd have some sympathy for him, but that's not what happened. Instead, he helped his friends steal hundreds if

I think its probably a combination of your average GPA from a school nobody's heard about and the fact that you only seem to be applying to companies that have a reputation for extremely high standards. You seem to be looking at normal

How is it that three of the best schools in the country churned out a computer crime lawyer that knows so little about computers? If you go around calling yourself an expert in computer law when you are clearly a layman in the subject of ge

What about the 7th category, the consumer that is tired of having his wallet savaged by the four major carriers. Android offers users the opportunity to buy a high-end device, off-contract, for $350. You can then use this phone with a pre-p
