And really, what's the difference?

I'm not sure about the 500 mile mark. Most combustion engine cars now won't go 500 miles on a single tank. If I could get 300 on a charge I think that would be totally acceptable provided I'm not going across country.

You should forget that anyhow. Most of the midwest is an uninhabitable armpit.

There is already a lot of dumb shit on wikipedia. Wales is right to try and keep even more of those assholes off his site.

Absolutely. And thank you for the correction, my head would have exploded without it.

A series of tubes to be precise.

This is really a huge myth that has been sold to mainstream america by corporate interests. Unions are working to make businesses engines for economic growth for society instead of engines for enriching a few wealthy individuals. It's funny how so many people say "i don't believe the liberal news media" but then they buy this shit which has been spoon fed to them by the so-called "liberal news media". How many news stories have you heard in the US media about unions keeping a business out of an area, but you never hear about a business that refuses to go into an area because there is a strong union presence even though it happens all the time. Unions work in your best interest even when you don't understand that, and even though you don't deserve the protection because you'd gladly submit to corporate rule.

My good sir, don't sully the "good" name of 4chan by comparing it to that filth.

The towers falling didn't take a shit on my liberties, the insane irrational response by the bushies did that in the aftermath. More to the point, it wasn't muslim teachings that were the real driving force behind those planes hitting the towers, it was western imperialism.

I have witnessed this exact behavior in my neighborhood. The Muslim boys run rampart and are just little pieces of shit because the fathers can't be bothered to parent and the mothers don't dare chastise their little princes while the girls are afraid to look anyone in the eyes. As a male it doesn't affect me, as a father it does, but only until the kids see me because they know I'm the mean guy with the nose ring that won't take their shit.

As the father of a gay child and a person that enjoys drinking and smoking marijuana, I can point out 3 examples right away. How about when I have to hear something bleeped on TV? As a person that lives in a bright blue city in a deep red state, that's another example.

I can count on 0 fingers the number of times that muslim teachings and jewish teachings have directly taken a shit on my liberties in the US, with the exception of a few South Park episodes. However I can't begin the count the number of times that ridiculous xian bullshit has ruined my day. I think the operative term in the AC's post was "in America." Muslims don't control enough of the population of affect real change in the US and the jews are happy to keep it relatively quiet, however miss Bobbie Sue from Wichita is fucking things up for everyone daily with her religious bullshit, especially in red states. I think that was the point the AC was trying to make.

Non-westernized muslims are fairly rare here in the US.

I called it first. There's no one to sue over and iDesk.

What's a disproportionate number? I hope you're leaning toward a small number because I somehow doubt that you're going to be able to provide reliable sources for your assertion. People falling off of the roles of UI doesn't mean they got a job. Some go to school and some find less legitimate ways to try and support their family. When you go to jail, you don't get on the UI roles either. Also people getting a job doesn't mean they have a job sufficient to feed their family or one that is well met with their education. It could mean that they went from being pharmacy techs to pizza slingers.

While you're correct there are no guarantees in life that doesn't make its ok for rich lawyers disconnected from the populace they are intended to serve to suddenly yank the carpet out from under a bunch of unfortunate people. Not everyone on UI are mooches, some have just fallen on hard times and need a hand. There's no reason for such poverty in a country as rich as ours, especially since so many of the people yanking the supports from the bridge purport to follow the teachings of Christ at a time of year when we're all forced to endure their inane bullshit.

I agree. I think Tesla would be like "What's taking your fuckers so long?"
