beelzebub, do you have any clue what you are talking about? what makes up america? who are the americans? that's right. people from countries OTHER THAN AMERICA! aside from that, perhaps immigrants from other countries feel compelled to serve the country that accepted them. i don't know. just a thought.

so, from a summary (def: Performed speedily and without ceremony) examination, the docs "diagnosed" him with this syndrom? i personally don't put much stock in their diagnoses.

that would be great for the consumer, but, the consumer isn't making the money. just spending it. the holiday releases make far more money than pre summer releases, unfortunately.

I thought she admitted it. Didn't even wait a week. Hopefully she just rots in prison. Forever. Once she kicks off due to old age, she can be considered reformed and rehabilitated.

good for you borscht. fight the system and don't let the evil commercialism of the world drive your life! fight the good fight! (sarcasm, for those who missed it, is dripping from this post) if you are going to be doing that, why wait until 2011? too lazy to remove them?

Posted in: McFlurry caramel macchiato See in context

Macchiato is an Italian word, meaning "marked" or "stained". It is frequently used to refer to two separate coffee drinks.

Starbucks didn't create it, they just threw caramel in front of it.

wow statistician, what a completely, and totally useless post. most american airlines have instated this ridiculous charge, and soon ALL will do it. i don't know if you are taking a jab at continental specifically, or american airlines...

"The president accused of impoverishing Zimbabwe has given U.S.$148,000 to the nation’s Olympians, most of it to a top-performing swimmer."

Okay, now that we know it isn't in Zimbabwe dollars, I can say this is insane. The man is pretty much single-handedly bringing down a country, and yet, feels the west is to blame. How odd...

I thought he confessed, no?

Lots of people "confess". doesn't mean he actually did anything.

Posted in: Yakuza 'misunderstood' by foreign media See in context

"In any society where one group (an elite) outlaws things wanted by the majority - drugs, sex, gambling -, people will appear who will supply the service. The yakuza, mafia, or whatever would all disappear if these were made legal. Whether legal or illegal, the same people will use drugs, for example. It is not like every single person in the world will get hooked on drugs if they are legalized. If we were all hooked on drugs we couldn't make war, but that is another story..."

That is one of the biggest fallacies out there. Let's look at prostitution for example. Usually, the prostitues are women. Who likes to control women? Some men with issues. So it becomes legal to get rid of them. Wait a tic, these same men like control. So, they keep up their pimping and violent ways. Why? not because it's illegal, but because it is money they don't have to work for. That is why Amsterdam made prostitution legal so it could be "controlled" and "regulated" by the gov't to stop this type of action. But I do remember reading that they are finding that it hasn't really stoppped or slowed down the bad things that happens to these women by men who need to control others. What needs to happen here is for the cops/beaurocrats/elected "officials" to stop being such corrupt cowards and actually help the problem by enforcing the laws. As it is, that will never happen because no one will willingly stop taking a paycheck to do what needs to be done.

Posted in: How airlines deal with 'customers of size' See in context

jeez. some of you are putting way too much thought into this. here, let me break it down: the price of a ticke from airport A to airport D costs X dollars. if you are under 130kg or whatever number is set, the price of the ticket remains X. if you are over the body weight, regardless of how you carry it, your ticket is X + however much they decided to charge by weight. how hard is that? for those of you who are offended by that, too bad. no one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to be huge.

Posted in: Bush calls for freedom of speech in China See in context

the gov't isn't involved with the example of mothers that you gave me. that is one person. and no, saying something like that, and then getting sued for what you said is not an infringement on freedom of speech. you are free to say it, and someone else is free to be offended.

what are you babbling about going to prison for speaking against a point in history? you are in paranoia-land if you think that is true. show me an example of where that has happened.

what sort of things do you think you can say that anglo's aren't allowed to? hmmm? if it's some stupid crap like what I hear some african-americans saying, then yes, they are allowed to say it and the anglo's aren't. but that is only because the african americans say that can't and throw a huge fit if anyone does. there is FAR, FAR, more freedom of speech in american than china. try again.

"There is no freedom of speech in America right now. Anything you say you can either get arrested or sued or a loss of a job." - skipthesong

You really have no idea what you are talking about. Freedom of speech does not have anything to do with getting sued, or losing a job. Freedom of speech does not protect you from any and all repercussions. Why would you think that the freedom of speech would let you say anything without consequences? It has never done that.

where do you guys come up with this stuff? think about it. ever heard of crowd control? how would YOU guarantee the safety of your politicians without putting some sort of restrictions on where the public is allowed to gather en masse? some of you guys see shadows and your brain tells you cover up, suspension of liberties, cats and dogs living together...

so, some of you would rather have the Chinese system where if you speak out at all then you are arrested and disappear? Don't even try to say that the US government is quite like the Chinese. Oh no! They're tapping your phones! Yes, that's not really the best thing to do, but come on. Look at how they are handling something like the Olympics. If you think that you can't, in America, go out and have a free assembly, and speak your mind about the pres. or whomever without being arrested and killed or whatever, you are just as delusional and paranoid as you accuse the gov't of being. It's a bunch of hippies like some of you that are screaming this crap. Bunch of whiners if you ask me, or even if you don't.
