Reply to Maybe they could beat some sense into the system?? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I hate to admit it, but they are doing the right thing. There are many parents out there that'd live to exploit a good-hearted driver for some money. Still, maybe the school should think about having security guards on the bus.

Call me a dreamer, but I think that in the end, ethics will pay off. Of course, people download and install Kazaa everyday without worrying about the spyware in it. Maybe people will get fed up in the future.

Reply to Teachers' Unions and the State of Schooling: America's New Joke? in Republican JoeUser Forums

I understand your frustration. Isn't it funny how everything's a disorder these days? That way, the schools pander to these students' "learning disabilities" or those that move to the U.S. with no intention of being part of it (in fact, although I disagree with France banning all show of religion in their schools, I do respect the fact that they place France itself bove immigrants).

Also, I think this news will be great for Microsoft if the Open Source community takes a peak at it and then "accidentally" writes code similar to that found in the leak.

is linux any good? i heard alot of things about it good and bad but i wanna know, is it better than XP? how? Linux was better than Windows 98, but I would never replace Windows with it again unless they are able to do something now that Windows XP (or Longhorn) can't do. Right now, I'd say XP can do a helluva lot more in the desktop arena (probab

Reply to Another Plea for Health Care in Current Events JoeUser Forums

There are people everywhere with problems. I really don't want it to be the government's purpose to solve everybody's problems. It would be nice if we lived in Candyland with lollipops and sunshine on every corner, but life's not as nice, and the government can't play God and try to make it as nice, because it can't control things that affect life, such as luck and will. If people know that they can make mistakes without any real consequences,

Reply to Kids getting killed in the United States in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I wouldn't worry too much. After all, the news does tend to make things seem worse than they really are (I thought that the world would soon end after those articles about Saddam and WMDs during Clinton's era). There are problems out there, but I do think that worrying about them rather than forgetting them (but not acting as if they can't happen to you) is the best route to take. What do I think is the problem? I think that, if the Columbine kids

Reply to People versus parties in Politics JoeUser Forums

People do vote by parties for reason as Poet explained. It's not as if people choose to vote for parties who are completely opposed to their beliefs, and if a party or a candidate really pisses them off, they're going to vote differently, as seen in California's recall. Also, I think the two main parties seem quite similar to each other because people, for the most part, have similar beliefs and also don't want radical parties that'll turn the US into

Reply to Our Criminal Justice System in Politics JoeUser Forums

Well, there's that saying that it's better to let one hundred criminals walk free than lock up one innocent person, but then it does make sense that if we let one hundred criminals walk free to free one innocent life, we're going to be jeopardizing many more innocent lives than just one, and although one might think it cruel to sacrifice one innocent life for any reason, I really think that if people had to choose between one person dying and many more

Reply to X-Rated Gaming in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

I don't see how plotless games that are AO would be any worse than plotless games with E, T, and M ratings. Most people don't play RTCW, Soul Caliber II, sports games, racing games, FPS games, etc. for the plot.

I saw him or one of his partners say that in the commercial, and I have to say that I really respected that. I also don't agree with everything in the article either, but it did show me the extent to which the women went in prostituting themselves.

Reply to Brad's Notes: 2/11/2004 in Blogging JoeUser Forums

What's wrong with a child going to school and openly proclaiming their Christianity? Why is that wrong, but going to school and openly proclaiming their homosexuality, liberalism, Gothness, vegetarianism, racial pride, etc. all fine and dandy? Those are thousands of times more annoying then somebody wearing a crucifix or somebody wearing a turban. Therefore, I think we should basically place all students in uniforms and not allow them to form clubs. Af

Reply to MTV banning certin videos during the daytime.. in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I'm positive MTV's just doing this while the whole Janet Jackson scandal is in the air. As soon as that's gone, they'll start showing the videos again. If you think that Sponge Bob episode was bad, you should see the one where Sponge Bob, Mr. Crabbs, and Patrick go "panty raiding." I can't believe they'd do that in a children's cartoon. I always thought they kept such material subliminal (i.e. Crabs the Warthog, Piles the Beaver, etc. on "Cow and C

Whoredom: Way of the 21st Century Woman? in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I've never seen The Apprentice , but I've seen commercials of it, and now that I've read this article on Slate , it is clear to me that the commercials didn't even show a fraction of the slutty ways of the female competitors. If this was American Idol, where people are judged by sex appeal (everybody knows that if Ruben were a woman, his fat ass would never have even been allowed inside the building), bu

Reply to Brad's Notes: 2/11/2004 in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Maybe it's only me, but I like how the US deals with religion in schools: lets people practice it, and punishes those that discriminate. I guess France was looking for an excuse to take secularism to another level. Personally, I can't wait until the anti-religious folk go too far and demand that Christmas no longer be a national holiday, and to ensure that the government isn't giving any lip service at all to it, demand that nobody have the holiday off. I honestly believe there will be a time wh

Reply to Violent Video Games in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

There's always the Gamecube. As one person said: "Kid tested. Mother approved." I love the Gamecube though, and it definitely doesn't consist solely of violent games. Hell, the average reader of Nintendo Power seems to be ten-years-old. Somtimes violent games are fun though. I'm thinking of buying "True Crime" because supposedly I could beat up old people on it and then arrest them. Can you imagine the possibilities? Still th

I don't mean to disagree, but I love the whiners! They make me laugh 'cause they're silly like clowns. In fact, I'm highly anticipating the time when people will post on here accusing JoeUser.com of being a monopoly on blogging (which I'm positive will happen if this site gets "too" popular).

If you think that the tech support that Microsoft has is bad, you should try receiving tech support from the Linux community, which usually answers with "RTFM n00b!" Also, I've learned that the problems people have with their computers usually are their own faults.

That happened to me as well. You shouldn't go trying to bring down the points of those who are suspects though, because Brad will correct it (that's why I'm no longer in rank 2000 something), but if you abuse the trolling thing too, that'll just make you an abuser of the system as well.

Reply to WMD stockpiles in Iraq were never the core issue in Politics JoeUser Forums

Why were these children executed? If their only mistakes were political, then I guess one can compare executing children to the child prisons that were found in Iraq. However, if they were executed for committing crimes that would land an adult a death sentence, then please don't be compare that to children being incarcerated for pissing off a dictator. If you insist though, then why not demand the freedom of all prisoners, since we're not going to be
