2010/1/4-19 [Politics/Domestic/911] UID:53611 Activity:moderate | 1/4 Why the fascination with blowing up airplanes? Airports have tight
security. It doesn't seem worth it. It's far easier to derail a
train or set off explosives in a crowded place like a theater or

friends turned out to be Jews. And I am fortunate to have
opportunity to work with whole bunch Israelis and working with them
has been an absolute pleasure. HOWEVER, I just failed to understand
why people got offended by the speech by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In my
relatively neutral point of view (I am an Asian), most of what he

2009/1/28-2/6 [Politics/Domestic/911] UID:52481 Activity:low | 1/28 One of the criticisms of the Patriot Act was that it was rammed
through without any time for legislators to properly review
it. Isn't that the same problem with this $800B bill?
\_ Is this $800B bill hundreds upon hundreds of pages long? It's not
coming off the heels of a crisis in national defense; rather, it's
attempting to fix a spiraling economy. Plus it seems that the

\_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
can't believe we elected this retread.
\_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

2010/2/21-3/9 [Politics/Domestic/President/Bush] UID:53717 Activity:nil | 2/18 If not 0 then 1 - wasn't that the basis of the logic of the bush
administration on torture? If we do it, it's legal, and since
torture is illegal, therefore we don't torture?
\_ Bush is a great computer scientist.
\_ He must be, given that he defeated the inventor of the Internet
