Borg?

Grats on ur marriage to Ghost. I hope the two of you will be very happy.

Like naked Seal Form

James you sure you can't get that 0% deal on a new toyota or honda too? If not, I'm sure you can at least find one that's lower than those rates on the used cars. $16k seems too much for an Ion. Plus the reliability is questionable from what I've heard. The car is basically just a Chevy Cavalier with a different body/interior. Consider the money you save on the 0% APR spent on future repairs. I may get a new car soon, and the only two I'm looking at are a Scion Tc and a Civic. Both are about $17k new. Also look around for Certified Pre-Owned cars. They come with warranties that are as good, or sometimes better, than a new car. My current Civic was Certified and had a powertrain warranty up to 100k miles. It didn't come with that new! Of course it developed a slight transmission problem at 101k, but that's just how life works for me >.

figured as much... I want a crimson/black one now

Grats guys! I love seeing my RSS updated with boss kills. Nice sloganization too!

about damn time

I thought that was Lem's DS. You have a new one?

Ben's gonna form a cult now

I don't know much about France's system, but I don't like the idea of the government controlling too much, or socializing things. I want the government in my life as little as possible. So yeah, I don't like the idea of it. I also don't think they can pull it off. The US government has rarely run anything properly. Schools, prison systems, social security, pretty much anything the goverment puts its hands on turns to shit. They're good at law enforcement and military, I'll give them that much. But there's little else I'd want them involved in.

You're kidding, right? Most inner city schools these days have more resources than suburban schools. The government just throws money at them. I know a couple years ago Atlanta City schools were spending something like $12k a year per student on education, more than twice the state average. (That's about as much as Atlanta's best private schools cost). And they had absolutley nothing to show for it. It all comes down to the students and their parents. The governments solution to every problem is to throw money at it and it never works. Watch the same thing happen to healthcare if we end up giving control to the government. It'll be no better than the UK's or Canada's, which are pretty poor as I understand it. I'd leave the country if that happened.

Stang, I think the debt actually went down this past year, surprisingly. As for the death penalty, I don't support a federal ruling against. It's up to the states, but I'd prefer they all change their laws to require DNA evidence before sentencing the death penalty. An eye witness testimony just isn't good enough.

I'd like to stear clear of any more federal school reforms, HV. No Child Left... already took too much control from States and Counties. The Fed just needs to allow states to use the funding on school vouchers and I'm sure many states would allow them. Georgia came close a few years ago, but it would have required a lot more state and county funding to pull off I think. As for gifted kids HV, that depends entirely on the school district. Some handle it better than others. I assume yours did not do so well the way you sound. Mine allows separate classes for almost every thing in High School. All my Lit and Science classes where separate and in smaller groups of kids that I took almost every gifted or AP class with. Higher maths like trig/calc would have been the same way if I chose to take those. The only thing we didn't have separate classes for was history, which sucked for me cuz that's my favorite subject and the classes were always boring and retardedly slow. Even though I don't like public education, as long as it's around they should at the very least increase the pay they give those poor teachers. To put up with the BS they have to deal with and to only get paid like 35-40k is sad.

I'm pretty much a libertarian all the way, but they haven't been able to get their act together in 5 or 6 years. Not since Brown ran in '00. It's sad too, because at this time when both parties are becoming far more polar it would be easy for a centrist party like the libertarians to move in and take a lot of ground. If they would stop making legal pot the cornerstone of their campaigns and focus more on things like the Fair Tax, protection of property rights, state's rights and downsizing of federal government they'd probably get a lot farther. As for the next election, since I'm in a very red state it doesn't really matter. The Republican will win Georgia easy. Which is fine with me cuz they're the lessor of two evils as far as I'm concerned. I like that Paul and McCain support Fair Tax and a few other things I care about, but I'm not sure Paul would make a good president and I think McCain will probably be dead by the time he finishes one term plus he's started look like a loony and angry old man lately. Thompson is just too conservative for me I think. Edwards I think is just crazy. I could probably live with Obama, he isn't a nutcase like some of the others, but I'd really rather it not be Hillary. She scares the shit out of me. The Clinton Machine needs to come to an end as much as the Bush machine. I dunno, it's there for a reason, not sure if it matters much any more though. Only 2 of the last 5 elections has the winner of the popular vote also won the election. Bush 1 and Bush 2's second election. Even Clinton didn't win the popular vote. It is kinda screwy the way it works and I'm beginning to like it less. Most of these people I think are all older, like 60+ at least, and from places like the midwest and southeast. Most of these places are red states anyways and Hillary already has less of a chance there. If it was a Republican woman running, then yeah it could make a difference and that person probably would have a hard time getting past the primaries (see Elizabeth Dole in '00). It could affect Hillary in Florida though. A swing state with such a large percentage of older people.

It's things like this that make me want to d/l more. I think I'm gonna go home and queue up 10 gigs of mp3's. screw the RIAA

This isnt work safe is it?

pirate first, think about consequences later?

Tony you noob. You're facing the wrong way.

I read some article earlier in the year that said a WoW account had surpassed a credit card number in average value since a lot of cards have fraud protection now, and a WoW account is always worth something from all the gold and dusted gear, or even selling the account to someone that doesn't know it's stolen. Plus there's harsher penalties for credit card theft so it's safer for criminals to go after something else like WoW accounts.
