Re: Commenters Egg On Live Suicide

I really do find it surprising. Maybe I'm just naive, but I've always assumed that people were kind and caring at heart.

I would hope some just didn't understand the severity of the situation or thought it was being faked or exaggerated.

Re: Cops Taser Man at His Dad's Funeral

Yeah, that could have gone much better.

But at least the cop admitted that he was wrong, which is rare for police, and apologized for the way he handled the arrest.

Re: Pirates anchor hijacked supertanker off Somalia coast



Hello, People...did you guys ever think that the UNITED STATES wanted that oil tanker stolen? Hmmm? A hundred million dollars can buy a lot of weapons from us...

Why would we go through all the trouble of making sure the pirates don't sell the tanks and weapons off that cargo ship to terrorists ...

Re: Surprise! Organic Beekeepers Reporting Zero Losses

"The problem with the big commercial guys is that they put pesticides in their hives to fumigate for varroa mites"


So you're saying that the article is inaccurate? I honestly don't know anything about bees except for what I read in that article.

Re: Surprise! Organic Beekeepers Reporting Zero Losses

So nobody knew why the bees were dying off? All the while pumping the hives full of pesticides, pumping the bees full of antibiotics, genetically altering the bees, and trucking them around the country? :?

Death is not the same as life, it is in fact, the end of life. They are not "one in the same". I believe that someone can cherish life because they fear death.

Re: ZoneAlarm Pro - FREE

I believe ZoneAlarm Pro is just a software firewall and anti-spyware. I've heard it's not good to run two anti-virus programs at once, and it's ok to run multiple anti-spyware programs, I don't know for sure about multiple firewall's, but I would assume it's not recommended.

So if your Norton is ...

Re: Houston we have a problem..... (Xbox 360)


What's wrong with the Elite? I'm buying one shortly.

Nothing, as the Elite is exactly the same console as the other XBOX models (Arcade & Premium). It just adds the 120GB hard drive, headset and a few cables that you can buy separately for the other models.

Yup. It also used to be the only ...
