I just hate when the guy who is reading the book is slow. I'm a fast reader, so that pisses me off.

I guess you could speed it up if you wanted to. Portable players might not have an option for it, but you could process the files before transferring them.

I'm so glad you didn't say "god is dead", the most frequent Nietzsche sentence of all time. Idiots from all over the place put that one quote up as some way to justify their own stupid opinions. And it paints a truly shallow picture of Nietzsche who actually questioned pretty much everything (as a philosopher should).

So true, annoying and insanely common poseur crap.

I have used "Nietzche is dead" as a retort to that crap hallmark slogan for years The biggiest morons of them though somehow at times read it as I was making some existential retort to argue against them, and "analyze" the heck of that, while I am just crudely mocking them

It's more than that. That is quite an over simplification.

Many people just don't register for a number of reasons.

A lot of youth didn't bother to register after the 2004 election basically decided that they were unimportant. Some are just turned off by the fact that we voted to elect Bush twice. Others didn't register after the 2000 election because they thought their vote doesn't matter.

Then you get a guy like Obama who is young, energetic, eloquent and has the ability to speak to the young voters and the disenfranchised in this country and its money. Except, thanks to John Kerry many of them aren't registered.

It's the same thing the hollywood liberals to time and again to the church going southern democrats. The Tim Robbins and Sharon Stones make the church folk feel unimportant. Many of them of course are black. Until this election the black vote in the south has been largely ignored. Obama is the first to ignite it since Clinton in 2002.

I'm sure race has to do with some of it, but the reality of the situation is that Obama is pulling from areas in the populous that have been largely ignored in past. Kudos to him and I welcome the new voters. There ain't no such thing as a bandwagon in an election like this.

Well of course African Americans will come out to vote a black guy into office. I'm not sure how much the "get out the vote" group had to do with that.

The younger voters who have swarmed into the fray have come for various reasons, most probably because Obama is as you say... young and energetic. People will be excited for him.

But perhaps other young voters are actually waking up to the reality this country has put itself in and are concerned about how we have to repay our billions (now trillions) in trade deficit. Now that's the way it should be, not because a candidate is "cool" and looks like the sort of guy you'd have a beer with.

This is why I absolutely abhor "Rock the Vote" campaigns. It breeds idiotic voting. If people do not care enough to follow the issues and vote accordingly, just stay home.

hell yes

Now I have something decent on my Christmas list. But then again, I don't think my relatives would take too kindly to me reading the works of a non-believer.

Oh yeah, I bet that's what people really care about. Fixing the trade deficit. You're not serious are you. They sooner care about gay marriage and taxes.

Leave it off your annual report then.

Btw I guess you shouldn't read my posts then.

I've never seen people quoting Nietzche on that, but then again I try to stay away from arguments featuring "those" people.

Which is a paradox because I'm number three in posts on Juventuz.

I like to stick out a la George Bush: the pimple on the butt of their elephant.

But your are his closet-heathen, no one in his surrounding knows you are corrupting him ever more slowly.

Except Enron, he is not a liability at all that may blackmail you in the future, right? Right????

My mom always warned me, "I don't like you spending so much time on the internet. There are many whackos out there, Andrew."

Next time she makes that clear, I'll respond with the astute:

"YEAH, LIKE ME!"

Enron sometimes reminds me of that old hippie in every apocalypse movie who saw it all coming. He's wise.

Enron is a minion. While he's saving the planet in futility, people like Martin are pushing us along in his doomsday quest of poisoning water supplies to bring the second coming of his coder, Jesus Christ.

This thread will become my favorite one if McCain wins. I'll even subscribe to it.
It will be as fun as Andy, after a lost match against Inter, which we lost 2:3 with 3 owngoals scored by Molinaro, replying to a member who defends Molinaro.

Man, actually, it won't be as amusing. If McCain really does win, I'll basically become one of those morbidly silent people who you'd worry about shooting up a school. Seriously, it won't be pretty, you won't want to see it happen...

I'm quickly realizing this current economic meltdown is much, much worse than I previously thought. And that's very, very bad, because I knew it was a horrendous situation weeks ago even before they passed that faux bailout of the economy.

 

[Bjerknes]

Vinni, has the Buffalo Police Department had any briefings or reports from the US government regarding recalling a whole Army brigade back to the States due to possible future "civil unrest"?

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

What are you talking about?

And why would a local PD know anything about the military?

 

[Bjerknes]

Homeland Security gives reports to police departments as far as I know.

And I'm talking about the link below. In a time when we're fighting "terror" overseas and losing the battle in Afghanistan, why are troops coming back to control civil unrest?
