  1. Well the Indians were actually peaceful. They always wanted peace. They always thought "well if we give up this small chunk of land, it will stop there" and the settlers just kept taking more and more.

     

    Appeasement never works,and apparently being peace-loving hippies doesnt either. I feel bad for taking their land, but you know, it was manifest destiny. From sea to shining sea.

  2. fill out a FAFSA, you never know you might get lucky, plus OSU makes you do it if you want any financial aid or loans.

    ROTC, do it while you're in school, should be able to get a scholarship if you keep your grades up and you have a guaranteed job when you get out.

    I've got a double major so I'm on the 5 year plan too, and I took a couple years off after my freshman year, so I guess I'm on like the 7 or 8 year plan. No biggy though, as long as you actually work hard to get it doneit will mean something

  3. expensive fast food pisses me off. I will not pay almost $6 for a cheeseburger unless I'm getting waited on or it includes the side and drink.

    I went to chipotle and they raised their prices to 6.35 for just a burrito, no guac no extra anything. Its going to be tough but I'm not going back there.

    I bet this burger place is great but thats way too much for a fast food joint

  4. Technically under geneva they just need to be enemy combatants, well in the war on terror, anyone who is a terrorist would be an enemy combatant. And technically it being a naval base, it is US soil.

    But with that said I thought we needed it and these peope will most likely get real torture if they ever do make it home because they'll want to know if they ratted out.

  5. I had SBC bu its now att through yahoo...its a mouthful but i like it. I have the cheap dsl and I get decent speeds, plus its a hell of a lot cheaper than time warner and doesnt go out every other week like RR. In fact the only time Ive ever been without service was in the fall when everyone's power went out...and it actually still worked with the laptop then
  6. It's not his fault, Obama caught the mistake because he had it memorized. He stops and motioned that Roberts fucked up.

     

    I dont think thats right, roberts said it wrong the first time, Obama stopped, roberts said it right, but then Obama said it wrong, repeating what roberts said the first time. And it looked more like Obama was motioning for roberts to repeat it because he didnt have it memorized.

    And he also cut the man off at the beginning

    It takes two to tango and I hate that everyone blames roberts for it when they both clearly messed it up

  7. The drugs dont work well on me either because I had so much infected tissue around mine. I just had 2 pulled because they cracked in half and was causing a lot of pain.

    So it was just novacaine when they pulled mine but it actually felt so much better to have them out, the swelling from the bad teeth was actually pushing all my other teeth forward and infecting my gums.

    So I was good like a day later, because it was actually pain going away when they pulled them

  8. How thick are you?

     

    June 21, 1788: Constitution is signed guaranteeing rights to everyone on the basis that all men are equal.

     

    April 14, 1865: President Abraham Lincoln is shot and killed by John Wilkes Booth.

     

    Feb 26, 1869: Amendment XV to the Constitution, Blacks are given the right to vote, Jim Crow laws almost immediately negate this through literacy tests and poll taxes.

     

    July 2, 1881: Charles Guiteau shoots President James Garfield, who dies 11 weeks later due to shitty medical care.

     

    Sept 6, 1901: Anarchist Leon Czolgosz shoots President William McKinley, who dies 8 days later. Secret Service is charged with physical protection of the president as a result of this 3rd successful assassination of a president.

     

    Aug 26, 1920: Amendment XIX is passed, giving women the right to vote.

     

    Nov 22, 1963: Lee Harvey Oswald (or so we are meant to believe) assassinates John F. Kennedy.

     

    July 2, 1964: Civil Rights Act of 1964 desegregates everything, invalidates Jim Crow laws, but fails to address issue of "voter qualification" which had been used to turn away many black voters.

     

    Aug 6, 1965: National Voting Rights Act of 1965 is passed, effectively ending voter qualification and allowing anyone to vote regardless of sex, color, or any other differentiating factor.

     

    And I didn't even bother with the attempted assassinations.

     

     

    Still think we've always had free elections and peaceful transitions of power?

     

    Yes absolutely. Every president has been elected following the rules of the constitution and any difficulties have been settled either within congress or the supreme court. Has there been a military takeover? Has a president refused to step down and ordered the troops to surround the white house and protect him? Has someone kept the electoral college and elections from happening other than delaying from a national emergency? No

    You're going to actually bring up civil rights? Blacks and women received the right to vote, name me all the countries that allowed blacks and women to vote in 1788 when our constitution was ratified. Its going to be a very short list. Im not saying thats a good thing, just that ex post facto laws are unconstitutional, so don't blame me or the system for something in the past that has been fixed.

  9. Yes, but if you can reflect the heat of the sun you can still cool the surface of whatever is covered. There's one guy that wants to cover parts of Greenland with a big white tarp to prevent glacier melt. Recently he tested his theory by covering 2 acres of melting glacier with a tarp. The area around the tarp was turning to slush, while the covered area froze solid again. In just a few weeks the area around the tarp was 2 feet lower.

     

    Basically, it's like standing in the shade on a hot day.

     

    If thats true then that would have nothing to do with greenhouse gases that affect everything under the atmosphere, only what is in direct sunlight...which is not manmade.

    So hopefully he gets more press for this to shut some people up

  10. I thought it was funny that I went to work yesterday...and it was all white people. They even put up a TV and let you stop working for 2 friggin hours to watch it, but no, gotta stay home and watch it. I'm not rascist I just think that if the economy is as bad as they say it is, you need to get your ass to work and at least watch it there.

    And anyone heard this new seal and bono America song. You guys aren't even American. We've always had free and fair elections and peaceful transitions of power. The America people pick the president, yet celebrities aren't proud of America until their guy gets elected. What dicks. Keep your damn song.

    I will say this, at least Obama gave props to the hundreds of thousands of guys that died in the civil war to preserve the union and end slavery, I havent heard anyone say that in awhile.

    Hopefully now that he's prez, yes prez, the Obamania will end, the cult of personality is really making me sick.

  11. I dont get it, I thought globalwarming was caused by greenhouse gases (If you believe in it I mean, which I wholeheartedly do not)

    So wouldn't the last thing you want to do be to reflect the light into the atmosphere, don't you want to reflect it before it gets there.

    White paint is stupid.

     

    Global warming is another progressive movement meant to make everyone think people who drive a truck are dirty, corrupt, racist, bigots and the green people hybrid drivers are awesome. Theyve been doing this shit forever.
