1. Comment - MSN Spaces Update a Little Bumpy

   (Jan 27, 2006 - 7:53 PM)

   God forbid that these days, parents are even actually allowed to be *gasp* parents!
   
   You can't even spank your kids now without being likened to the scum that put their kids in a car and drive it into a lake, or drown em in a bathtub.
   
   You want parents to take care of business, talk to your congressman and make it not illegal or socially unacceptable to discipline your kids!
   
   There isn't a kid today that doesn't know that if Mom or Dad pops em one with a belt across the hiney that they can't pick up a phone and dial 911 or tell a guidance counselor/teacher in the school system that they're being "abused"... Too much liberal PC "feelings" BS has wimpified our rights as parents to set our kids on the right paths with a little "positive reinforcement" of our own... a nice positive force swing on that paddle against a backside just once will do wonders for a kid's outlook on life!
   
   Maybe if it didn't become a holy Jihad against the rights of parents to not "spare the rod", then maybe we wouldn't have 8 year olds bringing loaded Desert Eagles to school in their backpacks, or god forbid, teen pregnancy, disrespect for elders, gang violence, drug use, or scenes like Columbine.
   
   I got my butt wooped when I screwed up as a kid ("Grab that chair boy" *crack!*) and by god, I am not a drug user, I don't rob banks, convenience stores, beat up women, or kill people. It didn't turn me into a murderer or anything, it taught me there are consequences for doing wrong, and a swat on the butt isn't anywhere near what you'd get as an adult and screw up major.
   
   Don't expect anyone to do your parenting for you but YOU. If you give a flip about your kids, then you're going to know what they do, and teach them what's right and wrong. Don't abdicate your rights to an entity thinking they will do it for you, because all they'll do is fill them with their ideals, and their agendas, and let your kids do what THEY think is right and wrong.

2. Comment - California Violent Game Law Shot Down

   (Dec 22, 2005 - 5:47 PM)

   Just goes to show you how it doesn't matter if they're Dem or Rep, the U.S. government is always looking for ways to tell you how to think, what to think, and why you should think the way they want.
   
   Stay out of people's private lives and just provide the things you're supposed to, just like the Constitution says: Provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, ensure the blessings of liberty and freedom, free speech,and the freedom of religion.
   
   Stay out of our bedrooms, stay out of our computers, stay off our phones and televisions, keep your money-grubbing mitts out of our tax dollars, start looking after people's needs at home while keeping your nose out of the rest of the world's business, and most of all, keep your cigars in your mouths!

3. Comment - Leading ISPs File Six Lawsuits Against Spammers

   (Mar 19, 2004 - 5:16 PM)

   There was a united front to force the domain name authorities to require all Advertisers and Porn sites be registered with the ADV and XXX domains respectively, and that would simplify things immensely.
   
   All advertising emails sent must then be from .ADV, porn obviously from .xxx, and then you simply allow or disallow connections from any domains with .xxx or .adv at the mail server level.
   
   Have legislation at the government level (in whatever country you're in, *not just the U.S.*, heck, it would be nice if every country did it) stating if you are sending emails from, or represent those domains (i.e. if you send ANY emails advertising ANYTHING) you must have legitimate domain names and IP's to which those domains are registered to in the emails and email addresses must have the .adv or .xxx extensions, legitimate or you then are liable for each and every message for an exhorbitant amount of money. If you are found to be falsifying emails, then the company/entity that the advertising is FOR must pay. Sure, let's not bother suing the spammers, let's sue the COMPANIES that are FUNDING the spamming. When the spammers run out of customers to serve because everyone's too scared to use mass emailing, then maybe email will come back under control!
   
   Non-legit spammers would stick out like a sore thumb and be a LOT easier to prosecute.

4. Comment - SnapStream Takes PVR Software 'Beyond TV'

   (Jan 15, 2004 - 8:57 AM)

   I've used Snapstream's software since version 2.0, and over the last couple of years it's evolved into something much more than what it started as... the addition of support for various tuners that provide hardware mpeg compression, to the mouse, infrared emitter, and remote support, this software keeps getting better and better!

5. Comment - LindowsOS 2.0 Released to Insiders

   (Sep 23, 2002 - 2:06 PM)

   Problem is, I've seen more and more of an elitist snob attitude coming from some members of the linux community. It's not so much of a lack of effort on some people's part that gets my attention so much as a "I'm going to deride you to make my light shine brighter" from these jerks' mentalities that turns prospective Linux learners away. Common decency seems to be a foreign thing to them.
   
   What's even funnier is the converse happens, I know a few people that are total linux/unix hounds, yet they couldn't find Minesweeper if it was shoved in an orifice. The Windows community isn't nearly as hostile to newcomers as the Linux community is.
   
   I wholeheartedly agree: If you show effort, then that should be respected. But in turn, simply telling someone where to look (i.e. pointing them to the obvious RTFM or FAQ) would help a lot too. Too many people think something should be handed to them without effort, but that doesn't give one the right to insult them either.
