Aw, how cute. You realized that my name rhymes. Congratulations, you've now gone from third-grade insults implying that my intelligence is somehow negative to kindergarten insults. I'm afraid I'm not going to indulge you any longer, though.
Another good thing is to check the prices of your food before you decide what to eat. You might think eating three eggs for breakfast each day is more costly than a bowl of cereal, but you have to buy the cereal and the milk. In the end, the deciding factor is whether your gas/electric is paid for your apartment (if so, eggs are next to free!)
The craziest thing in this article, to me, is the idea that people are spending their student loans on booze. Does that really happen? If so, I might just have to give up on humanity.
I hater Nader. Not because he's a third party candidate, but because people assume his being a third party candidate makes him worth voting for. I'd feel just as alienated and unrepresented if the ballot read McCain/Obama/Nader/Perot as I will when it will say McCain/Obama. Having a third party means nothing until it's a third party that means something.
That's one of the reasons we'll never get out of the two-party system: people keep assuming the only way out is to just elect somebody, anybody, from outside those two. You have to establish a party that can stand as a viable alternative to both parties in any election, not just this one race for one position. It frightens me that people are willing to vote Nader just because he's not a Democrat or a Republican, regardless of what he thinks on any issues. An ignorant democracy is no democracy at all.
noirbear, you'll notice that he tries to say something about four times after Whoopie does her thing, but she and Walters interrupt him. Also, most of the founding fathers at the Constitutional Convention were against slavery, and it was proposed that it be outlawed from the start. The Southern states threatened to secede, so they caved, but it's still written as an outstanding issue that needed to be dealt with, not a Constitutional institution.
Besides, to accuse somebody of that when you know full well that's not what he meant is just malicious. I'm not going to ask you if your "side of the fence" is for King George and the royalists, or for the Articles of Confederation, because I know that's not what you meant. It'd be the same kind of stupid question, for just the same rhetorical purpose: to make you look terrible by pretending I think you're saying something that I know you aren't.
I'm amazed the situation came about to begin with. How can people boil a Supreme Court nomination down to one issue? These people have unrestrained power to overturn any law, and we're ignoring everything in favor of turning it into an abortion-only issue? Much as I hate to say it, McCain was absolutely, 100% right in saying that it can't be a one-issue deal. I've never heard truer words come out of his mouth.
Not that I'm surprised that Goldberg would say something like that. She thrives on saying stupid, offensive things, then acting like she's the cleverest person on earth for saying it. She talks about being a slave all the damn time, too, even though she oddly never mentions what she was doing during the Civil War...Oh, right, she's never been a slave. I wonder sometimes whether her ancestors are offended that she pretends that she went through the same things they did.
The equivalent of moving from XP to Vista is moving from OS 9 to OS X, not from Service Pack 2 to Service Pack 3. When Apple sends you the next operating system free, you give me a call.
IronFistClad: Try copy/pasting a quote instead of reconstructing it from memory. He clearly wrote "very small majority," which would describe 53% very accurately (especially since margin for error is generally between 2 and 4 percent). Also, it's strange that you think Patrick and I are rich. Some of us are thousands of dollars in debt.
Patrick: You presume upon the intentions of a lot of people in this article, which worries me. By your own admission, a majority of Americans believe this activity is wrong. A majority of Americans say it doesn't matter that Jack Bauer does it, it is still wrong.
Do you smell that?

Don't sweat the big stuff, start saving small.

Let Nader debate!

Heh, you think Marxism = Leninism = Stalinism = Maoism = Communism. That's funny.

Amusing that you equate "making money" with "charging you money," even when that is obviously not the case.
Did you pay for Firefox, or did you get it for free?
Also, I would like to ask that you refrain from insulting me, as I'm likely to respond in kind.
