| Did they say they were against illegal immigration or just immigration in general? | |||

If this particular group was really just concerned with immigration, they wouldn't call themselves the KKK. It's just not good PR. My question was just to determine what Kario was agreeing with.

It was definately an interesting read. (edited by emcee on 08-06-06 02:56 AM) |

| Wow, it's one thing to ban the guy, since I guess he had it coming, but is there really any need to rub it in and make him feel as bad as possible about it? Shyguy may not havebeen the brightest guy on the forum but atleast he never acted like jerk or treated people like dirt, which is more than can be said for most of the people posting in this thread. | |||

Originally posted by Cirvante You make an excellent case for banning him, but I never said he shouldn't have been banned. Anyway, things seem to be going back to normal now anyway. The colors are back and the text below the banner is gone. |

| I have a Compaq Presario 900 with 1500+ Athlon. I bought it used off ebay a couple years ago. I upgraded the 20 gb hard drive to 100gb and doubled the ram to 512. It's obviously not a gaming system but just for general use its actually much faster then most people's new pcs. That's because I don't have a bunch of useless garbage running, keep it defragged and malware free, and I replaced the Windows XP Home with Windows Server 2003 Enterprise. It always amazes me when I go to work on someones 2.5ghz desktop and it takes 10 seconds just to bring up a context menu. | |||

| I think the best way to handle minimum wage is to pin it to the inflation rate, automatically adjusting every two years of so. | |||

| Simple question. Is it ok for security personnel (Mainly in airports, but other places, too), to give extra scrutiny to Arabs, (by searching, questioning, etc) in an effort to fight terrorism? | |||

| This is the same type of argument that sites with torrent files and ed2k links give. They aren't actually offering copyrighted material, just chunks of numbers (hashes) that refer to the copyrighted material. However the Supreme court has already set a precedence that simply offering software or a service that seems to encouraged copyright infringement, is in itself illegal. | |||

| If they can come up with reasonable evidence that there's gold there, I say go for it. I mean, I would assume even if they do get court approval to dig, they'll use ground penetrating radar to locate it first, it's not like they'd just tear up the whole yard. | |||

| You know, I think everyone is capable of going a few hours without Sprite. If you're so self-centered that you're willing to circumvent security and possibly cause delays and tension (slowing down already over extended security systems) if you get caught, just so you can have the particular beverage you want, I think you deserve a pretty stiff penalty. Maybe not three years, but atleast a few months.
Now if it was Lime Coke, I could see... |

| I really wonder how many of the people who think racial profiling is acceptable now felt that way before the the attacks of September 11th. I wonder how many of those people who are ok with racial profiling of Arabs (or those who just look Arab), are also ok with racial profiling to prevent other crimes besides terrorism. I mean if I can find statistics that show the largest percent of murderers are black men, does that make it ok to search every black man in an area with a high murder rate for concealed weapons? Certainly traditional (non-terrorism related) violent crime kills more Americans than terrorism. So why is it suddenly ok to use racial profiling to combat terrorism when it was already decided that it wasn't ok to combat other crimes?
To me, right and wrong aren't relative concepts, if something was wrong before 9/11/01, its wrong after 9/11/01. Racial profiling is wrong. It allows people to justify their discrimination through their fear. Unfairly singling out individuals to be searched or interrogated based simply their ethicity is harrassment. Besides that, I question its effectiveness. Allowing screeners to use something as simple as physical appearance as an identifier causes complacency. People like Bill O'Reilly want to give a false choice between hasseling little old ladies and focusing on Arabs. If screeners were better trained in identifying suspicious behavior and mannerisms it would be far more effective then racial profiling. Things like simply asking people simple friendly questions as they past through, to look for nervousness and hesitation. Because whether we seem to remember or not, not every terrorist is a Muslim extremist. While screeners are hasseling a Muhammad al-Jamil, what's to stop a Timothy Mcveigh from slipping through? |

| I've read through the technical details, and I think I see how this works. It's clever, and it certainly creates a techinal loophole. But not a legal loophole. As long as a network implementing this system can be shown to promote piracy (which, according to the supreme court, means simply not trying to stop it), then just acting as a node on that network could also be consider promoting piracy, allowing you to be sued under the same precedence that won them the case against Grokster, without ever having to prove you, yourself, actually commited piracy. | |||

| People don't seem to understand that perpetual motion machines aren't considered impossible because no ones came up with one yet. They're considered impossible because the contradict fundamental laws of physics. There's a huge difference between converting between kinetic and potential energy and actually creating new energy, which is what is nessicary to create perpetual motion machine.
People just keep wasting time and money on them anyway. Because they figure they'll change the world by creating an indepletable source of energy. Even though we clearly already have an indepletable source of energy. Atleast for the next 5 billion years. |
