pa-am1478someone has to say the truth, so here it is: blockbuster is in bankrupt thanks to none other than YOU, searching internet every day looking for low-quality, free pirated movies. look yourselves at a mirror first, then post your comment. Piracy trends have been going down for the past...

Facebook isn't private unless you take the time to set your profile that way. If you're going to use Facebook, then you have to be ready to accept the consequences for saying things in a very public arena. It's no different than shouting your comments through a megaphone in the middle of a...

Improviz, every male 18-25 must register for the Selective Service. No, they aren't drafting right now, but they could.

Falchard, there are provisions for the unemployed and otherwise impoverished to not be required to buy health insurance. Keeping that in mind, everyone who chooses to successfully participate in the capitalist workforce is choosing to pay for health insurance. It's just as much a choice as...

Falchard, mandating purchasing a service is not Socialist. It is also not unprecedented, as there are other forms of insurance that most Americans are already mandated to purchase, and other activities like Selective Service that many Americans are already forced to participate in...

Regulas and Zoridon, you both could really benefit from not being so extreme and dedicated to misinformation. The health insurance regulation bill is not socialized medicine, and if you read and understand it, it never can be. There are no death panels, and the only people or groups who will...

Zoridon, you aren't practicing what you preach. You're vilifying and making stereotypes against whole groups of people based on the undesirable behavior of a pitiful few. You're also clinging to biased, opinionated misinformation about health care without opening your mind to other points of view.

I was going to go with Target's $30 gift card deal, but $50 beats $30. Looks like I'll be making a stop on the way home from work today.

Also, Shinobi, it is well known that The Nazis used Socialist terminology and symbols to attract dissatisfied and disenfranchised citizens who would have otherwise gravitated toward actual Socialist groups. It is also well known that the Nazis were not actually Socialist. And what do the...

I'll give you Bernie, Shinobi, but that's being generous given that he platforms Independent and identifies himself as a Democratic Socialist, which is itself a far cry from proper Socialism. And no, there are no Communists in mainstream US politics right now; Communism demands fast, violent...

TA152H, Socialism is an economic system, but it also has enormous political ramifications, as any and all economic systems do. Pretending that it's not at all political and is purely economic is just as bad as thinking that anyone in mainstream US politics right now is in any way Socialist...

Does G.W. even know about this? As in, is this something his publicist dreamed up, or is it just something that a completely unrelated fan did? If it's an official thing then I guess that's neat in some small way, but if it's just a fan page made by some random nobody, then who cares? On the...

There really isn't any one webpage that I want to go to first thing every single time I run IE (or FF or Chrome). This is why I have Google set as my homepage. I open my browser and there's Google, waiting with practically no load time. If I want a web portal, I click on the iGoogle link at...

The DVD is so expensive for the library because it's a "special" copy that's authorized to be rented/borrowed out, just like the ones at video rental stores. There's nothing *really* different about it, but libraries and video stores that go about these things legally pay more for copies that...

Have you ever read an EULA, Dreamphantom? You don't own the game, you're just leasing it, under a very specific agreement between the developer, the publisher and yourself. You own the box the game came in, and the other materials that came with it. At most, you might own the plastic disc...
