[2001-03-13 01:28:00] - maybe he/she did something that they feel respsonsible for, and they feel they must kill themselves to atone for it. - mig
[2001-03-13 01:28:00] - Lots of life insurance
-paul[2001-03-13 01:27:00] - handicapped. - mig
[2001-03-13 01:26:00] - Sorry, was distracted by the kiss word -paul
[2001-03-13 01:26:00] - Depressed with life. Religion demands it. Political statement etc -paul
[2001-03-13 01:26:00] - besides euthanasia - boing
[2001-03-13 01:26:00] - night - boing
[2001-03-13 01:26:00] - Terminally ill -paul
[2001-03-13 01:25:00] - dammit, kill - boing
[2001-03-13 01:25:00] - Anyway, I think I've made my points, and I have some nasty classes tomorrow. So I'll avoid protracting the argument. Good night gentlemen. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:25:00] - so besides euthanasia, which is a different issue, what is a sane reason to kiss oneself? - boing
[2001-03-13 01:24:00] - Legally I mean, that's not necessarily good -paul
[2001-03-13 01:24:00] - A person deemed insane or mentally incompetent cannot make decisions -paul
[2001-03-13 01:23:00] - nt to live and nothing can stop them from that, what do we gain by forcing them to live - mig
[2001-03-13 01:23:00] - If they are insane they are incapable of refusing therapy (as they are incapable of making any decision.) if they are sane they are free to refuse the treatment. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:22:00] - ah, but is it different? legalizing suicide would make it so suicidal people could refuse therapy (as many try to do) - boing
[2001-03-13 01:21:00] - personally i don't think it does. i think it's cruel to force someone to live who obviously doesn't want to. that's not to say we should just let them kill themselves. people should try to dissuade them, if they can. but if someone just doesn't wa
[2001-03-13 01:21:00] - If they are determined to be insane, there used to be asylums for them where they would be protected, certainly we can't expect people who can't care for themselves to do so. There is a line between liscence and charity. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:20:00] - if suicide was legal, we would lose people who might just be troubled but otherwise valuable members of society - boing
[2001-03-13 01:20:00] - Oh.... you're delving into the realm of mental competence now.... that's different -paul
[2001-03-13 01:20:00] - I suggest the will of the person. It's far simpler to know, and follow. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:19:00] - well, many people who attempt suicide are only saved because the law allows us to forcibly keep them from, say, sharp implements. the laws against suicide benefit those people, in my opinion - boing
[2001-03-13 01:18:00] - How is the will of the people to be known? -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:18:00] - As long as it isn't suicide with an atom bomb that is.... -paul
[2001-03-13 01:17:00] - Suicide is an issue of morals, not law, hence law should not interfere. Murder involves law as well because of the involvment of additional people. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:17:00] - i don't expect anyone else to protect me from myself. that's something that rests between me and me only - mig
[2001-03-13 01:17:00] - i'm stating my idealistic wish that there was a body that could define that line as accurately and as unbiased as possible... I know it's not real, but for the hypothetical case... - boing
[2001-03-13 01:17:00] - Suicide. Yes. Legal -paul
[2001-03-13 01:16:00] - people don't need to be protected from themselves. that's something that's solely the responsibility of the individual - mig
[2001-03-13 01:16:00] - Why should the line be drawn though Pierce? Let me ask you this, do you think people should be allowed to kill themselves if terminally ill? -paul
[2001-03-13 01:16:00] - do you all think suicide should be "legal"? just curious - boing
[2001-03-13 01:16:00] - If you don't define it, who should, Pierce, should I, or how about politicians, are they -really- going to do any better job than we would? -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:15:00] - whether they should be legal or not is dependent on your personal belief as to whether laws should protect people from themselves - boing
[2001-03-13 01:15:00] - And if freedom, why not total freedom? -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:15:00] - If were going to attempt to prevent people from getting addicted we need to set up such a system of safeguards that it is financially and socially infeasible.Not to mention people wouldn't stand for it.Therefore, we must allow people freedom,- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:14:00] - it's a fuzzy line, and I won't claim I'm the one to be defining that line, but I think the line should be drawn nonetheless - boing
[2001-03-13 01:14:00] - Does it really matter how addictive it is? I find computer games extremely addictive and they make me a violent murderer, does that mean they should be illegal? -paul
[2001-03-13 01:13:00] - it's based on the average ability of a person to recover from addiction, andrew - boing
[2001-03-13 01:13:00] - If we make drugs illegal, then tobacco and alcohol really should be also, not to mention morphine -paul
[2001-03-13 01:13:00] - not true, miguel... in fact, marijuana is the only "mainstream" illegal drug considered less addictive than cigarrettes - boing
[2001-03-13 01:12:00] - So we're defining a critical point in adictiveness where a drug suddenly goes from being acceptable to bad? Why? -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:12:00] - cigarettes are probably much more addictive than most drugs - mig
[2001-03-13 01:12:00] - The question is "do you respect people's right to do what they want to themselves?" -paul
[2001-03-13 01:11:00] - and if he ends up doing something bad to himself because of drugs, then it's his fault and his responsibility, and we have laws to make sure he takes that responsibility. - mig
[2001-03-13 01:11:00] - alcohol's not as addictive by any stretch. it is addictive, no doubt... but withdrawal symptoms are significantly less severe in recovering alcoholics - boing
[2001-03-13 01:11:00] - Or even more absurdly that one cannot eat for there is the potential to become obese. It goes on. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:10:00] - Whether or not drugs is worse is not an issue for me, the fact of the matter is that use of drugs and alcohol don't directly hurt anyone except the user -paul
[2001-03-13 01:10:00] - you can't go tell someone he can't do something because there is a 50% chance that he'll fuck himself up. it's like saying kids shouldn't play violent video games or listen to marilyn manson because they "might" become violent adults - mig
[2001-03-13 01:09:00] - Same with alcohol, again, it is a drug as well, simply a legal one, just as addictive, ask any alcoholic. In fact ask any alcoholic and he'll likely tell you how negative alcohol is, and how it fucked up his life. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:09:00] - drug abuse is a problem. people using drugs is not. - mig
[2001-03-13 01:08:00] - whereas people who used alcohol during prohibition were more likely to be okay, even if they drank for the rest of their lives - boing
[2001-03-13 01:08:00] - would = wouldn't
[2001-03-13 01:08:00] - they would have to rob to get money for drugs if it was legal - mig
[2001-03-13 01:07:00] - because people who extensively use drugs are more directly imacted by that later in life... either by being addicted and fucked up for the rest of their lives, or going clean and realizing how negative drugs are - boing
[2001-03-13 01:07:00] - Themselves, and the people they rob from to get the money to buy the drugs. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:06:00] - yeah, but really come now. who are the people using drugs hurting? - mig
[2001-03-13 01:06:00] - and as for the drug "war," it's a lot harder to argue that drugs can be a valid part of our society, as alcohol is... and the fact that many people use drugs isn't comparable to the use of alcohol during prohibition... - boing
[2001-03-13 01:05:00] - Damn catholics, with their traditions and refusal to change or learn anything new
-paul[2001-03-13 01:04:00] - yes. christianity has this weird complex where they go and complain about being discriminated against, while they freely discriminate other groups themselves - mig
[2001-03-13 01:04:00] - I fail to see your point, pierce, clarify? -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:03:00] - and regarding prohibition and catholic mass, keep in mind that in that era, catholics were among those being discriminated against, not vice-versa. You'd think they would have taken a lesson - boing
[2001-03-13 01:03:00] - killing is bad is something more than morals. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:02:00] - Well, there are certain morals that the government has to enforce, like killing is bad. Otherwise organized society would be difficult at best -paul
[2001-03-13 01:01:00] - Churches enforce morals, governments enforce laws. Problems occur when either tries to do the job of the other, including some of the nastiest wars of history. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 01:00:00] - never really thought about that though. i guess it was one of the strangest parts about catholicism. - mig
[2001-03-13 01:00:00] - Don't get me wrong... I don't think it's right to use government to enforce morals, quite the opposite... I'm just saying that that's the case - boing
[2001-03-13 00:59:00] - All save the priest, yes. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 00:58:00] - well, the wine is optional for most of the patrons of mass, though - mig
[2001-03-13 00:56:00] - at least a 5 proof wine. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 00:56:00] - The reason why is that despite all the statistics, most people still don't use drugs, at least not commonly, whereas alcohol is a staple of our culture, diet, and many of our religions. Eg. A Catholic Mass cannot be said without -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 00:56:00] - I dunno if the war on drugs will ever end, especially since the government opened up a new war on tobacco -paul
[2001-03-13 00:50:00] - unfortunately it's taking too long. fuck you nancy regan. - mig
[2001-03-13 00:50:00] - And eventually people will realize that the War on Drugs is equally, if not more stupid, and they'll end it, in much the same way as Prohibition. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-13 00:48:00] - that's true. but don't forget pierce, they repealed prohibition because they realized it was one of the dumbest things our government has ever done. - mig
[2001-03-13 00:46:00] - Why do people feel the need to enforce their morals on others? It's so much better to get them to see your point and come to your side willingly. -paul
[2001-03-13 00:45:00] - Easier doesn't mean right. I personally don't think we need the government to enforce any kind of social restriction beyond "live and let live" -paul
[2001-03-13 00:42:00] - just look at prohibition... relatively few people wanted that, but they got it because they manipulated the government - boing
[2001-03-13 00:41:00] - changing laws and using government to enforce them is the easy way out for people trying to enact an unpopular social restriction. it's easier than actually trying to convince people the right way - boing
[2001-03-13 00:38:00] - It probably won't, but it should. -paul
[2001-03-13 00:38:00] - I think abortion is a bit different because the fundamental arguement there is when human life begins, whereas tobacco opponents just hate big tobacco -paul
[2001-03-13 00:37:00] - paul: your point is valid as well, but government has often been used as a tool of the people to enforce the morals of the time... i don't think that's ever going to change - boing
[2001-03-13 00:36:00] - it's comparable to fetal stem cell research. people want abortion stopped, but it's currently legal. does that make it wrong to try and find a medical benefit in aborted fetuses? - boing
[2001-03-13 00:34:00] - some people want big tobacco cut off at the knees, others like it. the contradiction is, since we have programs trying to stop tobacco's influence on our country, does that make it wrong to indirectly approve it by accepting money from them? - boing
[2001-03-13 00:33:00] - The problem is that the federal government is trying to do some social engineering by waging war on things it considers "bad" -paul
[2001-03-13 00:31:00] - the problem with the tobacco money is the inherent contradictions when a democratic nation has programs catering to different citizens' beliefs - boing
[2001-03-13 00:16:00] - I want to know if we need to buy tickets and if we are allowed to bring signs
-paul[2001-03-13 00:15:00] - oh nevermind, i am stupid and didn't see josh's message - mig
[2001-03-13 00:14:00] - when/where is the nader visit? - mig
[2001-03-12 23:59:00] - For the record, I too intend to attend Mr. Nader's visit. I believe in supporting all third parties, even those I disagree with. Besides, it'll be fun. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-12 23:55:00] - True, where did they end up wasting it anyway? -paul
[2001-03-12 23:53:00] - The money was coming anyway, may as well spend it where it will do the most good. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-12 23:51:00] - I dunno. If I were governor then I wouldn't feel right taking money from tobacco companies. Of course I wouldn't have a damn government-run health care system either -paul
[2001-03-12 23:44:00] - If they'd just given him the money from the tobacco settlement like he asked this wouldn't be an issue, but the Dems refused. Tough luck for them, Gilmore is showing increadible political courage here, I think. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-12 22:37:00] - You can't do that, silly -paul
[2001-03-12 22:34:00] - adrian declares end to death. ~a
[2001-03-12 22:34:00] - of course gilmore isn't lying. that would be impossible. ~a

[2001-03-12 10:30:00] - i'm not going to be an ra.
- aba[2001-03-12 10:26:00] - I am prejudiced againt stupidity and laziness, not against any race of people. Blacks and whites, and all others, are all equally capable of being dumb sloths. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-12 10:05:00] - oh, and for anyone who was wondering and didn't look at her away meesage, lisa is an alternate for the RA job, which is still optimistic (they only gave the alternate status to 20 or 30 people out of 270 applicants) - boing
[2001-03-12 10:04:00] - yay!!! I'm on the statistics page now!!! - boing
[2001-03-12 10:03:00] - typically, when we talk about prejudice, we are referring to racism, since nationality is not something you can necessarily determine based on accent, skin color, or any other surface characteristics - boing
[2001-03-12 10:01:00] - in today's society, members of the same nation do not necessarily have anything else in common, so we use "nationality" to be more specific. - boing
[2001-03-12 10:00:00] - race (noun): 2 a : a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock b : a class or kind of people unified by community of interests, habits, or characteristics - boing
[2001-03-12 09:47:00] - nationality is not based on your ethnicity, but rather what country you're from.- mig
[2001-03-12 09:46:00] - there are americans. and there are blacks. not the best explanation, but it's all i can think of right now.- mig
[2001-03-12 09:36:00] - what is the difference between race and nationality? ~a
[2001-03-12 09:35:00] - "7149 - 2-23 1:48a" i wish i had read this earlier ~a
[2001-03-12 09:05:00] - and aparna too! - mig
[2001-03-12 09:01:00] - good luck lisa! - mig
[2001-03-12 08:58:00] - interesting . . . the """ and the "~" are near each other on the dvorak keyboard. i didn't know lisa knew the dvorak keyboard.
[2001-03-12 08:56:00] - good luck ~a
[2001-03-12 08:55:00] - ok, we're off to find out if Lisa's going to be an RA next year... wish her luck
- boing[2001-03-12 08:54:00] - "he's lowering taxes as we go towards a recession, and balancing the budget means taxes and government spending need to be equal~ - lisa
[2001-03-12 08:52:00] - you can't fairly say that yet, he hasn't been president long enough - boing
[2001-03-12 08:51:00] - but he isn't
[2001-03-12 08:50:00] - he'll never have a chance to prove himself a good president, if in fact that is what he is - boing
[2001-03-12 08:48:00] - The worst thing is, even if Bush does a good job (which, granted, isn't looking too optimistic), he will always have poor public appeal because he'll always have the stigma of "what could have happened if Gore had won" - boing
[2001-03-12 08:19:00] - but it says the opposite about the average american person. ~a
[2001-03-12 01:01:00] - Neither one of them deserved to win the election, but Bush did. I think that says more about the American people than either Bush or Gore. -- Xpovos
[2001-03-11 23:59:00] - http://www.brunching.com/features/loremorethings.html
[2001-03-11 23:42:00] - Yeah, the election was weird. Gore lost all the typical democratic strongholds and Bush had trouble with a state in which his brother was governor -paul
[2001-03-11 23:40:00] - ... including his home state of tennessee. which had voted democrat the past 8 years. ain't that some sad shit -mig
[2001-03-11 23:39:00] - and for the record gore could have won without florida if he won any other state he lost. - mig
[2001-03-11 23:38:00] - He might have won the popular vote in Florida, we still don't know. We do know that the democrats cheated in some other states though -paul
[2001-03-11 23:37:00] - i'm still boggled by how gore did not wipe the floor with bush. how did that fucking happen? - mig
[2001-03-11 23:35:00] - he obviously didn't win fairly. he didn't win the popular vote in florida and he didn't win the popular vote in the united states. ~a
[2001-03-11 23:33:00] - yay for 3rd parties!
[2001-03-11 23:33:00] - I think the point is that the democrats want to prove that Bush is an illegitimate president while the Republicans want to say he won fairly -paul
[2001-03-11 23:32:00] - i can agree with that. ~a
[2001-03-11 23:30:00] - yeah. as far as i'm concerned they should have both been disqualified for caring more about winning the eleciton then the welfare of the american people. - mig
[2001-03-11 23:19:00] - fair or not, whether you like Bush or not, there's nothing to be accomplished by recounting - boing
[2001-03-11 23:19:00] - I can't believe people are still arguing about this... regardless of the people's votes, the electoral college placed its votes, so the decision is made. - boing

[2001-03-10 23:25:00] - I mean, advertising is one thing, but they were editing out parts of The Godfather to put in a trailer for a movie with raunchier and less-funny humor than Road Trip - boing
[2001-03-10 23:23:00] - where there's a movie about guys trying to have sex, with a trailer image of a girl naked (from the back, with a bedpost covering her ass) bouncing up and down on a guy. - boing

[2001-03-10 18:25:00] - hey adrian, how does your statistics thing judge how many people to show? I've messaged the board a few times, but it doesn't list me... does it only list people who have more than 1% of the messages, or does it only list 11 people, or what? - boing
[2001-03-10 18:16:00] - it could be a virus, or it might just be a system service miguel has downloaded at some time in the past that never uninstalled itself. it might even be probing anything the accesses miguel's computer as a way of protecting it. - boing
[2001-03-10 18:11:00] - then you are sure it is a virus? what else could it be? ~a
[2001-03-10 18:09:00] - anyway... maybe we'll see a thundercats movie someday??? does anybody else thing that would be a cool idea?
[2001-03-10 18:08:00] - oops, when I said jetsons I meant flintstones... and then I was even stupider and mentioned flintstones twice - boing
[2001-03-10 18:08:00] - there's an unusually large number of new movies being made about old cartoons... the new jetsons, josie and the pussycats, scooby, the new flintstones piece-of-crap, etc... - boing
[2001-03-10 18:05:00] - and regarding the scooby thing, there's a larger version of that image at http://media.dailyradar.com/images/showbiz/misc/scooby.jpg ... I suggest you look at shaggy's other hand (matthew lillard is so cool) - boing
[2001-03-10 18:03:00] - plus you'd be surprised how many computers can be probed quickly through our connection at school - boing
[2001-03-10 18:01:00] - adrian: regarding the likelyhood of a probe hitting dewey's computer... it's possible that dewey went to miguel's web site and whatever is on miguel's computer that probes things also records IPs - boing

~a[2001-03-10 00:39:00] - dewey/miguel, how would miguel's computer just happen to probe dewey's computer? that seems a little odd. the chances that a program running on miguel's computer would randomly hit on dewey's computer is next to none; right?! ~a
[2001-03-10 00:37:00] - dewey/miguel, how would miguel's computer just

[2001-03-09 17:00:00] - On 1-28-01 at 18:51:06 your computer attempted a TCP port probe (basically looks to see if a specific port is available to used remotely). I know you had trouble with this before, just FYI. -dewey
[2001-03-09 16:56:00] - Miguel. I'm home and on my dad's computer. he decided that since he got a cable modem, he needs to protect his computer from hackers so he bought BlackICE. It keeps a log of all attacks. -dewey

[2001-03-09 02:33:00] - and the people that they are trying to convince to change give up to easily ~a
[2001-03-09 02:28:00] - none of what they do made sense, they just wrote it that way so they ppl feel sorry for those who speak out against homosexuals - mig

[2001-03-08 22:40:00] - the filter is based on the file names sent to it by the copyright people. it's pretty likely they'll forget a few. - mig
[2001-03-08 21:54:00] - You can add yourself to your own hotlist, and compare the file listing you get there with your listing in "My Files"... 56 of my 350 files are blocked. Not so bad. - aaron
[2001-03-08 21:53:00] - Hmmmm napster's filtering seems to be skitzy. 7 out of my 11 elton john songs got through, and 2 of my 3 beatles songs got through - aaron

[2001-03-08 12:19:00] - And there's nothing wrong with being a socialist, just means we have to work harder to convert you
-paul[2001-03-08 12:17:00] - And I'm also curious what issues you care about since I can't imagine someone supporting Bush in 92 and Nader in 2000 -paul
[2001-03-08 12:16:00] - I'm sorry jdb, but I'm not quite sure who you are
I'm guessing you are Josh? But I didn't want to pick the wrong name. -paul[2001-03-08 11:50:00] - i don't mind
it just makes a lot of people think i'm evil or something...[2001-03-08 11:06:00] - you say people call you a socialist like that's a bad thing
[2001-03-08 01:02:00] - a lot.
[2001-03-08 01:00:00] - Which issues do you care about?
[2001-03-08 00:18:00] - hmm, i've been called a socialist by quite a few folks in my day.
i voted for nader but i own a bush in 92 t-shirt, so take your pick. i care more about issues than anything else. -jdbprev <-> next
