Meshugger

Excellent, i think that i will actually buy that one

Still waiting for confirmation on the half-naked demon chick... tr00 half-naked demon chicks have penises, just fyi. Add multiple ones to boot. Pleasure for the whole party!

That's understandable, considering the cast:

Of course it is a slap on the wrist if beheadings are conducted on people making out, hands sawn off for every theft and so on. But in relative to EU and French law.....well, you get the drift. Besides that, the point is that this is just the start of what people in power think that the internet should be like: The end-user should not decide on what webpage he or she will surf to, it should be decided by the ISP, which in turns adheres to the laws according to the government. For example: wikipedia, facebook and newsites are ok-sites for the public use, and if the customers wants to surf to other sites (which can contain questionable material, we do not know) then he has to pay extra, but still has not 100% access. Here, the government steps in again by having a blacklist of webpages that contain material that "is not in the interest of the general public" and simply mandates the ISP to restrict access completely. We will be free to do what the EU tells us to. Yippie?

The avarage voter. The french should do what the french do best when the government are behaving like ****, start a damn revolution. But instead of sending them to the gallows, they should be deported to Greenland without any sources or means of survival. Their last days of their pathetic lives should be televised like a reality-show for the viewers pleasure, as they have to try to to steal food from the local polarbear, or try to hunt seals with their briefcases that have been custom-modified into warhammers; made deadly by the sheer weight of all the paperwork from the very law that they wanted to instantiate.

Hypotethical situation: Since the Senators chair is empty so to speak, what would happen if the juridicial procedure takes longer than the actual mandatde period for a Senator?

French antipiracy law passed in the underhouse, wonderful times ahead Basically, a "3-strikes" law according to netpiracy. At the third time, your internet connection is closed, but you still have to pay for it and you're not allowed change your ISP. Is it prone to faults in personal integrity and basic rights? You betcha! A rather interesting comment.

You might be suprised.

At first i figured that they liked it because of guilty pleasure, like i for example, have a huge crush on '80s action movies. A simple 'It's so bad it is good'-reaction you might call it. But really... Who are those people? Do they interact with people on an everyday basis? Do they only crawl out at night?

Yay?

Meshuggah - War

I just read the lyrics. Bioware(EA) must've done this trailer with a great sense of humor, anything else is teh lulz of epic proportions. And yeah, i can't wait to enslave nations with necromancy; it's gonna be awesome.

Sweet mother mary jesus, that was bad. Keyboardcat, play them off. Actually, this site makes more sense than that horrendous trailer.

Thats a pretty loosey goosey interpretation no? What in our life does not contain factors outside of our control? Is anybody responsible for anything IYO? I explained that in greater detail in the sentence that followed, which you didn't include in your quote. Compared to anything else that you buy: games, boats, houses, computers and so on are properties on your behalf, easily replaced. Your health is a completely different matter. Socialized healthcare-insurance (in case you missed my point, hospitals and doctors can have private practices as much as they want) is not THE ultimate solution, but i do not know of a better one. - "Is anybody responsible for anything IYO?" Again, take into context to what i just said. TBH, I left that last part out because I didnt even see how it applied to your own arguement. In this case Im less interested in the details and more interested in your general thought process. In general, do you feel that if there are factors outside of your control that you are free of the responsibility of fending for yourself? It's a little difficult to extrapolate from the point of healthcare insurance to more abstract level, but here goes: You can not demand absolute responsibility, since that would require that the individual would know the risk of every action that he would take; and since there is no man being able to know every risk in the world, there's no absolute responsibility. From there, it goes pretty grey. One should not expect responsibility from others unto oneself according to a list written by someone, somewhere either. However, individuals can cooperate on sharing responsibility through a democratic process and socialize healthcare insurance. MC gave a pretty good example about the meteorite. Not the best idea, but hopefully you get the jist of it.

I take it that you're referring to socialized healthcare insurance being equivalent to surrendering all responsibility of the individual and his freedoms to the government? No sane person has argued anything close to that. And who said that the federal government would have to do it? Is it impossible to incorporate it on a state-level, or even more locally?

That has to be one of the most ridiculous articles that i have read this year.

To clarify, i disagree with that. I do not believe that the individual can bear the sole responsibility of his health, since it depends on factors that are outside of his control. And unlike cars and other consumergoods, you cannot claim warranty on your health, nor can you replace it with a body made out better components. Maybe when we can separate our minds from our bodies and claim new ones as we see fit we can have an implementation of full private healthinsurance.

I meant to be done with this subject but I can't get over the attitude of entitlement here. The standing budget outline only covers 2/3'ds the projected cost with the remainder needing to materialize out of already monumental deficet spending. How can that tax money be treated as if it is unspoken for in the first place when we are piling debt to the moon? The completely unensured poor human beings who god forbid have to face reality on their own devices are only in the ball park of 15% or so of the people and realisticly the bottom 15% in productivity, taking on yet another huge government boondoggle to bandaid that is a net loss for the general population, its an impoverishing move. Well it is dubious to assume any interest in this subject is selfless. Demanding free stuff from a broke community institution is hardly selfless. I do not go out and buy a new jet ski to cheer myself up after missing a couple mortgage payments, if you believe a government can make a move like that work its only because you want to be complicient and beneficiary to a robbery in some other quarter. The victim without advocate being the general youth and future generations, in 19xx i left highschool and after a couple months had a $8 an hour job in a bakery, back then it was reasonably comfortable money believe it or not, todays kids can probably go into debt living out of a used car and the inflationary effects of the higher gear of borrowing we have been in since last november are not even being felt yet. Of course people are relentless in their ability to not give a sh!t about inflation, where its coming from and what you are borrowing against. Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.

The semifinals tonight will be a test of stamina, since both Sweden and Canada played their quarter-finals yesterday. Hopefully it will be interesting.

Finally my copy of Musashi Miyamoto's "The book of Five Rings" (Illustrated version) has arrived.

Well, since the Broussard admitted last year, or two years ago, that they had too little time to finish DNF since they were too busy with playing WoW. Shine on you crazy diamond.

He looked much younger than he was. Forever remember Cannonball Run.

I attended a license agreement management meeting. Our differences already started when debating on what is a 'legal entity' in the EULA. An agreement looks like it is in the far end of the tunnel.
