I voted for Obama because i actually believed he wanted a much more transparent government. I know that alot of what he wanted to accomplish was stopped by filibuster, but he does have power on his own to stop this.
Mr. President, please don't lie to us. If you think this is a good idea, please come out and explain yourself. If this goes against the promises you made to America, then do not sign.
Fox has always done a great job with all these vague threats with no actual proof to back them up.
But they are the supposed 'fair and balanced' network.. yea right.. even calling them a news organization is way over the line. The Nazi's used the same type of propaganda to push their agenda that faux news does.
Look at what has happened over the last 2 years concerning 'fair use' and how things are being warped. Do you honestly think there is not a judge out there that won't agree with her now? I am absolutely sure she has a good shot with her outrageous argument if she gets a right leaning judge.
i just clicked on it and i hope they got my ip. I am currently very bored and would love to counter-sue for all the emotional damage this may have caused me. Now i am very afraid to click on things because i may get sued. That means when i go online, i get massive panic attacks. When i go outside and see lights that flash(esp red ones) i get post traumatic stress flashbacks and have to run back inside. If in my panic, i hurt anoyone, it is the fault of The North Country Gazette.
Hey north country gazette, do you see how easy it is to go overboard??? If you can do it, why can't we?
Oh, and you have to pay my rather expensive medical and legal bills also!!
Here is how i look at taxes. I don't like to pay them, BUT i love this country and recognize that to keep this country safe, we need to hand over part of our income to states and federal to subsidize certain things.
I also recognize that taxes help keep people alive, they pay the police to help keep my family safe, the fire dept, etc.
If i had to pay more in taxes, i think EVERYONE should pay the exact same amount. Corporations have decided they should have the same rights as private citizens, so tax them the same rate i do. If i don't get a tax break for being in NC, then corporations shouldn't either. If i am paying 28% in taxes, so should they, and everyone else.
I do understand your question on how much taxes is acceptable, but taxes would be at a very fair minimum if everyone paid the same.
how about when you are a teenager and the harassing is non stop. It used to be just at school, now these bullies are taking it online. The child comes home from school after being harassed all day long. They go online to surf the net, or play a game and they still get harassed. Eventually enough is enough.
When i was growing up, if we had a dispute, we would settle it by fighting, then it would be over. Now, the first amendment protects these bullies and if you defend yourself to these attacks, you are the one in trouble with the law.
As a child or teenager, constant verbal attacks by several people can wear you down in time. As you read in the article, there were 3 girls. Typical pack mentality. The ones to blame are the parents of these girls. If i found out that my kids were harassing someone like that, i would drive to school and embarrass them in front of everyone. My kids know that.
If this victim finally snaps, the parents should be charged. Yes the parents are responsible for their children. We tend to forget that easily in this world. I see on the news many instances of the victim finally fighting back, and then the bullies are now playing the part of the victim and the bullies parents are screaming about the injustices of life. And all along these parents are the problem.
i have no problem at all paying taxes that i owe. I also find no problem with any corporation having to pay their fair share of taxes.
I guess this means i am not a republican.
As i sit here with my laptop plugged into my 60 inch flat screen with my firefox browser on, i am laughing at the ignorance and arrogance of Mark Cuban.
It is because of people exactly like him that disenfranchise the typical person, that people run to torrent sites. Why let them get paid by me watching their commercials when i can torrent the show the very next day and watch it commercial free.
If they were more consumer friendly, i would watch tv, but they are not, so oh well.
Does it seem weird that people are saying that this company is scalping tickets when, in essence, ticketmaster is doing the exact same thing? The only difference is that ticketmaster has a monopoly on it and are trying hard to keep it that way.
Why should we pay another tax to an electronic firm? That would be saying they can tax our bottled water and give it right over to the oil industry because the oil industry thinks we dont pay enough taxes on the oil that went into making the bottle.
They dont want his computer encrypted so when they barge in and search it, they are not bothered by any encryptions. My question is what about passwords. Passwords are a rudimentary encryption. They stop people from going past a certain point.
I think fox blocking their channels happens to be a good thing. They have become way over the top and seem to be brainwashing people.
Mabe without faux news people can see what is really happening in this country.
The govt has several programs that are designed to search out certain key words in websites, blogs and even comments. Thanx to the Bush era reducing our rights laws, the govt has more access to all of our information than ever.
As a country, we have always had to weigh our privacy vs the govt's rights to be pro active in crime, but with such right leaning Supreme justices, i think this is only the beginning.
