| When celebrities line Anna Nicole Smith die, or Brittany goes off the deep end, we need to show it on the news not as a tragedy, but as what happens when you are a MORON!! ! They should say, "This is what happens when you do drugs, act irresponsibly, and allow yourself to be consumed by the fictiona... |

| All arguments against God and religion can be aptly, and humorously, be summorized by quoting George Carlin (not exact quotes here): "People believe in angels? sh**! Where the f*** are all the zombies?? :lol: "It's all part of God's plan. If you pray for something you want, you f*** up the plan. Wha... |

| I'm glad to see more than one person defending the not-an-aspie side of the argument. People want to believe these actors are aspies because it makes them feel better about themselves....not a healthy or lasting way to achieve self-confidence. I'm beginning to post more and more about how we need to... |

| Sorry, but you keep on plugging C++, which I believe is just about the worse thing that ever happened to programming. Maybe I'm not experienced enough to understand how that could possibly be? A good language certainly should not make a user "THINK about their code". That's a disaster, unless the l... |

| Sorry for my rant. I've heard too many people in programming talk about how they hate C++. The real reason is they don't want to have to THINK about their code. They'd rather have a slow language like Java do the work for them so they don't have to think. I just don't see why it's so difficult to ta... |
