Re: Texas GOP Platform for criminalization of gay marriage
Political parties have always been the fundamental flaw in American government. Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and the rest of the Founding Fathers were completely opposed to them, and fought them from start to finish because they were used as subjugation tools by the King of England and usually ende...

Re: The continuing debate over 'Don't ask, Don't tell'
I dunno...The quotes that Lui posted...There's no possible way they're a good representation of the majority of the military. Like I said before, I knew ten people in San Diego that certainly were bi/gay, and ten others that might've been, and noone that wasn't cared. The ten that were made no secr...

Re: Ready for Korean War #2?
North Korea should have been annexed by China a long time ago.
NK is in such a shambles it's amazing, and considering how much of a war-happy guy Kim Jong Il is it's a wonder he hasn't already started a war by now.
China needs to neutralize Kim Jong Il's presence now. He's an embarrassment.

Re: The continuing debate over 'Don't ask, Don't tell'
Locke357, I think we need to back down. I think Wynni and the rest are right. Army soldiers are not going to take DADT being repealed. I decided to do a little research. Some of the comments I found, unedited, from http://content.usatoday.com/community/comments.aspx?id=37428454.story&p=3 : “Don'...

Re: The continuing debate over 'Don't ask, Don't tell'
Well, to recall Av's post on the previous page, the SECDEF and the Army's Chief of Staff are no longer interested in pursuing discharges for gays. If they don't know what's right for the military, then I'm well and truly terrified. They answer directly to the president, it's their job to know what'...

Re: The continuing debate over 'Don't ask, Don't tell'
As Ashpool said, we're at war. High morale is important to the success of a mission. If we upset enough people, morale is going to fall, and the job in the Middle East is not going to get done as swiftly. The United States has been at war for over one half of my entire life, and it just keeps going...

Re: Un...schooling?
Luigian, I'm often reminded, when looking at your posts of an old quote I've heard 'Democracy is the worst sort of government you can think of, until you start comparing it to the alternatives'. You easily see all the problems with institutions in place like foster care and education ... but have y...

Re: Un...schooling?
I fail to see how putting the parents in jail is going to help the kids out. If the parents aren't even making sure their kids are getting an education, they clearly are skimping in other ways too. The parents depicted made absolutely no rules for their children at home as well. Basically, from wha...

Re: Un...schooling?
If it were the case that if the kids grew up to be unsuccessful, the parents had to go live in cardboard boxes, then perhaps I'd be inclined to agree with you. However, the problem here is that the kids would be reaping the consequences of what their parents sowed, which is incredibly unfair. It's ...

Re: Un...schooling?
This is really just the final form of libertarianism. WE MUST REMOVE ALL RULES ANARCHY FTW AHHHHH I don't see the problem. As long as these kids don't ask for welfare checks when they're living in a cardboard box out on Central Avenue while I'm living in a house I bought using the job I got from bei...

Re: Court rules against FCC on Net Neutrality
Again, the real issue is not net neutrality, it's Internet censorship. Every argument for net neutrality basically centers around people afraid that ISPs will simply begin to restrict them from viewing their favorite sites based on factors of what the site says or things like corporate tie-ups, fact...

Re: Court rules against FCC on Net Neutrality
If content providers want to regulate Bittorrent based on the fact that it uses up bandwidth and takes up lots of time and excessive money, that's fine. The point is that there should be rules to keep ISPs from regulating free speech, which is different than keeping ISPs from regulating quality of s...

Well duh.Viacom has taken legal action against youtube for a large sum of money.
As another bit of breaking news, the sky is blue.

Re: Car Enthusiasts
Not as far as we know, It would be neat though. But I'll be surprised if there even is a 2011 Ranger, they almost canceled it for 2010..... Tell your bosses (you are a Ford dealer or salesman, I presume?) that if they cancel the Ranger I will never buy another Ford again. I am that serious. I hate ...
