Charles Herzfeld on ARPAnet and Computers

About.com :2rofll:

Why not use DebatePolitics.com as a source ? :lamo

WTF is Mary Bellis ?

>" in fact, we would have been severely criticized had we tried. "< No source and criticized by who Kobie ? The John Birch Society ? :lamo

So I assume you're claiming that Herzfeld never said that. Typical.

Who said half? And you fail to answer the aspect that there is a business in keeping people dependent. If mine are conservative then that is news to me. Seems more like simple fact. But, if mine are then yours are without merit completely.



"There is a business in keeping people dependent" is the most asinine conservative talking point out there to date.. What exactly do you mean by "dependent"? Do you mean such things as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment comp., food stamps or all of the above? Do you know that the states are in charge of public aide and medicaid? Do you know that there is such a thing known as the "poverty level"? Do you know how many people in this country live below this poverty level with little or no help at all? I dare not go on…

So ?

What if he did ?

But you used About.Com as being a reliable source that didn't provide any references to back up their claim.

I can back up my claims on About.Com, but where is Hertzfeld ?
(Hertzfeld went public to defend Al Gore and back up that Al Gore invented the internet. :2rofll:

Chain of Command (Organization)

The interview was WITH the person on About. Deal with it.

Al Gore pushed for funding for the internet. Which is undeniable, and dispels your notion that "liberals were against the internet."

Al Gore | Internet Hall of Fame

Al Gore, for all his faults, is and always will be the one politician that had the most to do with creating the Internet as we know it. Period. Discussion over.

Al Gore pushed for funding the commercializing of the internet after the internet was already in operation by the U.S. military.

I had an IBM PC on my desk by 81 and a year later I had a modem so I could transmit and receive data from other associates around the country.

Kobie, your in the website mentality. You probably don't even know how to use a slide rule. :lamo

I actually do, but thank you for the history lesson. :roll:

You clearly think I'm much younger than I actually am.
 
Yeah, it's like there's no white Democrats or anything.

Sometimes I wonder if you guys ever read your own posts aloud and realize how ridiculous you sound.

I've seen little anti-white racism as vitriolic as that from white democrats.

It is neither liberal nor conservative... people don't want to lose their manner of income.

There is also a business in keeping people in prisons... do you deny that one? Because
if you don't you are the one blinded by politics as I am not implying that it is solely the
Democrats who are in the business of keeping people dependent. It is a business that
is independent of politics but one that the Democrats use. Use is the operative word. I
don't think that it is something that they approve of, necessarily. Just one that they USE.

Bull crap is the operative word here.... Comparing prisons to social services is like comparing broccoli to chocolate and makes no sense at all... The Democratic party did not go out and make people poor, they are not in the business of keeping poor people poor... Poor people vote for both parties, not just for Democrats..Where you people get this crap is beyond me--some conservative pundit dishes it out and you guys eat it up and it's not just you personally, but the far right in general.....

1. It makes sense in that they are both businesses, not member of opposing food types. So yes, it makes perfect sense.
2. Nobody said that they did and yes, they are: CNN.com - Elections 2006
------ You can CLEARLY see that more uneducated and more poor people vote Democratic than Republican.
3. Obviously... but the numbers don't lie.
4. It is out there for any open and honest person to find.
I am glad I could help open your eyes a bit... will you see though?
 
How do you know what's on MSNBC so often?



Because their on air personalities are so radical (Sharpton, Matthews, Bashir, Maddow, Baldwin) that they appear on other News Networks.....Haven't watched MNSNBC for years......Who wants to watch the lowest rated Network on TV?
 
It seems like every day that some prominent talking person from the left is making some racist comment against someone from the right especially on MSNBC.

Did you really expect to get anywhere with this thread?
 
Personally, I see racism as an individual trait.

You are not looking at "all" the numbers....Do minorities mostly vote Democratic? YES... Is everyone who is a minority dependent on government? Of course not....Look at the percentage of college graduates that vote Democratic....Are they dependent on government? You are seeing what you want to see...Democrats are democrats because they are mostly pro choice, pro civil rights, pro voting rights, pro union, anti religion in government, pro freedom, pro environment and many other reasons.... and yes, we believe in a safety net so that no American citizen falls off a cliff and into homelessness....

Do minorities mostly vote Democratic?
Minority we can leave alone as it is clear why they are voting for Democrats. They vote against white people who built this great country of his concept. Minority have come from underdeveloped and hungry countries, settled here became fat and decided that it would be very well, what would the food, and there was no wites.
Talk about the university youth. It's all much more complicated. Because young people tend to delude own humanistic impulses. Many of them honestly do not understand the complexity of the world and do not realize that the world moves.
As a student, my son was very liberal, and promised to go to Canada if Bush wins the election. But starting an independent life has changed dramatically. According to him, he realized that the world is driven by business. And not politicians howl.
Youth passes. And those of university graduates who are more intelligent, outgoing from the ranks of the Democrats. Well, those cunning and despicable, are
remaining and stirring up the minds of the next generation.

What kind of conversation is this? Whoever said 100%? :roll:

I am CLEARLY looking a the numbers correctly... look at the statistics again. More uneducated and more poor vote Democratic because these people benefit from the social welfare programs that the Democrats provide. Debate that. As it is at the moment, this debate is over since you aren't providing ANYTHING other than opinion.
 
I voted the left. And here's a picture that can explain why.

1468639_679092855504354_95936240_n.jpg

Not that it applies to all - but nowadays people who get called "racist" - despite not ever being racist nor even mentioning race - is bad. I'm not saying people of the opposite race of me do it. Sometimes people the same race as me do it too.

I'm not racist, by the way. At all.
 
Personally, I see racism as an individual trait.

Ding Ding Ding exactly right!


as i said earlier

Id bet every cent I have, every piece of property and every single asset that if you take 25 people from both sides and you could find out if they were factually racist/prejudice the right would have more almost every time.

Now with that said, relating that to the whole group or actual parties would be beyond stupid, there's no real coloration between racism and any official right/left platform. Its an individual thing.

I would never in my wildest dreams meet a righty and assume he is a racist just because they are a righty, just like i would never meet a lefty and assume he isnt just because he's a lefty because that would be idiotic.

They are just people until something proves otherwise.

Talks like this are dumb because its trying to make a determination or connection that isnt there, I have no problem answering the question but im also not stupid enough to think it means anything else than the question.

Do i think there are more racists on the right, yes absolutely
do i think righties are racist, no absolutely not

its like people using stats the wrong way

do i think Shaq is more likely to make more shots than MJ, yes absolutely
do i think Shaq is a better shooter than MJ, no absolutely not

Shaq having a higher FG % doesnt make him a better shot
just like righties having a higher % of racists doesnt make the whole party racist.

the answer, even if its factual is meaningless because its an individual thing not party.

I totally agree. Stupid questions like this annoy me sometimes. :lol:

I listed some of the reasons why people vote for Democrats other than your prejudicial perception that they all benefit from social welfare programs..

I watch MSNBC and I knock it.

Over the weekend I learned just as much about New Mexico's prisons as the inmate being buggered in the New Mexico prison.

The best source about life behind bars or who the Democrats future base will be is MSNBC.

MSNBC is also a good source for what lies are coming out of the Obama White House.

Your bootleg comic is so wise. Really, though, it's not. It's an example of false equivalency.

Methinks you doth protest too much. It's a little dishonest to claim to be above racial division. Everyone is guilty of having experienced thoughts and impressions that verge on racism, including me and everyone on this forum. In the context of this question we are asking which side has more of a tendency to buy into, justify, and act upon racial prejudices.
