Looks like the situation with Scott Brown isn't as black and white Frostband & Keith are making it out to be.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Brown

He served in the National Guard and was once on a rescue mission. Somehow I doubt Keith would bother mentioning that fact. Not that Scott Brown is perfect.

Ok, New Rule.

If someone is being a dick to you in one thread, you get to be a dick back to them-- in that same thread. Keep it contained to that thread, and that thread only.

In case you haven't noticed, we're on the internet now. We're supposed to be all postmodern and crap. We have the luxury to not be restricted by sequential time and space, so lets use it. Just because I am having a flame war in one thread and call you a dickhead there, doesn't mean we can't have a nice discussion about last night's television show in another thread at the same time. That's the whole point of comment threading. We no longer live in the dark ages where time and space is continous.

Somehow getting two wrongs here just doesn't seem right to me.

Or a well placed rocket. No need to sacrifice our own people.

Funny how I just knew that someone would bring up global warming in the comments before I even read the 1st follow-up comment from Biggles.

Although I do second ck about not caring about podcasting. Though I stop short at actually being a dick about it.

"Remember son- the MAJORITY of the population of the United States of America are RIGHT of center, and aren't leftist geeks like you."

Yes, because right-winged people who want to nuke Iraq and shoot Mexicans, and are serial killers (or aspiring ones) are so much more in line with the right-of-center majority than the leftist geeks.

I can program in Java kind of good. Not exactly as prestigious as whatever is it that ck does.

"Here in town I see frequently in the paper where the grocery store employees detain people physically for shoplifting. The idiot Mexicans being detained don't know the store employees are acting illegally."

I wouldn't call them idiots per se if they're here illegally. If they're illegals, they'd be more worried about being sent back than getting justice on some two bit store employee on a power trip. What good is throwing the bozo in jail when you're going down with them.

Yes, but can't they "conveniently" press charges for theft if you point that out to them, instead of just saying "don't do it again".
