    Russian official predicts 'catastrophic' events

    Japan and NK should both worry. There might not be an SK after that war. I hope there is a better solution, maybe assassination!

    Russian official predicts 'catastrophic' events

    Here we go again. It's too bad our troops couldn't get some rest between wars. NK seems destined for war though.

    Bush pressuring Ohio Senator to change stance on tax cuts

    Read juniors lips, no more taxes (literally). Maybe we can finance the country with the treasure from conquest for a few years :D Wow, imagine no taxes. Maybe i will vote for GW one more time.

    Affirmative Action Grading

    Well, I guess if I were benefitting from something i wouldn't want to give it up. Once you give something, its politically difficult to take it back. Hopefully, if the supreme court makes u of m do the right thing that will get the ball rolling.

    Affirmative Action Grading

    Well, in order for historical discrimination to end, AA must also end. Its only causing more problems by creating instances where, for example, white males believe they were discriminated against because of AA even if AA had nothing to do with it. I think more often than not, people blame AA...

    Sars bug deadlier than aids says doc

    wow, from your argument, i was sure you'd read it. I guess its out of print, here is a link to the audio book. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1559270667/qid=1051200454/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_2/102-2597794-6895325 He's kind of like you, except he starts with some event that happened...

    Sars bug deadlier than aids says doc

    A13, You're a big fan of "Connections" aren't ya? I liked that book too, very interesting. So was the series they did based on it on TLC or was it Discovery :D It's just a cold that kills, I mean SARS. Personally, I'm not worried yet, but we'll see. Remember the media always...

    WMDs

    I didn't think they had them, and I was against the war, but even though they spun the WMD out of control, and really didn't have any (legal) justification it seems to have worked out fine. As long as they can prevent Iraq from becoming an Islamic state, I won't complain, even though I was...

    Affirmative Action Grading

    My point is that we will discriminate based on our own preferences given a chance. I'm not in favor of the system, I'm only being honest about what happens in its absence. If I'm a recruiter, I'm not gonna hire someone I don't think I have anything in common with, and who I don't think that I...

    Affirmative Action Grading

    Ok, interviewing has a lot of merit. I won't disagree with that. But also, you can't disagree with the fact the interviewing can lead to choosing someone based on personal preferences and predudices. EVERYONE is predjudice, and EVERYONE discriminates. Lets not pretend on this one. I'm not...

    Temptation

    Ok, I've changed my mind on the war. Where do I enlist? Where are we going next? How about Switzerland, they could stand a little liberation :D 2nd Lieutenant doesn't sound so bad anymore, lots of fringe benefits. The recuiters should have mentioned these and maybe I would have signed up :D

    Today is the day

    I guess the real problem might be the heat though. Imagine all those PCs running in my little apartment. Do you know what summer is like here? Our airconditioning might not keep up. We better schedule the LAN part for a cooler season. I guess its not too hot yet though, we'd better hurry...

    first a cheater, now a perve?

    a13, I'm confused :D But I think in principle, I agree with you, mostly (on cheating anyway). I don't think it's so pervy though. We aren't talking about a child. 19 is an adult, no matter how you define it. As PT implied, even if he were 50 most people idolize him. They market...

    Affirmative Action Grading

    Sadly only time can help, and how much time that will take is probably unacceptable for those facing discrimination today. It could take centuries! Sadly though, for a lot of people AA is making this take even longer. AA isn't the answer, clearly, but people would like to address problems...

    or a dirty old man? I have a feeling he'll be one one day though :D

    I once knew a offtopic. This isn't it.

    poor wdeep :( So things are worse than before even? See ol' man, you shouldn't get so upset. You could be in wdeep's position, then you would have a REAL reason to complain!

    Affirmative Action Grading

    thats a good solution Gato. Only problem is it will still not be too effective when the issues is getting promoted to higher positions in the same firm. But I guess its a start. I suppose people would be looking for things in the persons voice too though. They'd still find a way to...
