Berkeley sure has some stupid people on their City Council

Oh, you *think* you're sooooo progressive, eh, flowerbob?! Well then, explain to all of us why you have OS 9 on your desktop! Hmm?! Mr. I'm-so-progressive-I-can't-stand-myself hasn't even upgraded to OS X yet! I bet you're a closet Rush Limbaugh fan too. I got your number. You are sooooo busted!

Nope. It's real. Maybe it lost some steam but I'm sure if Berkeley keeps it up it will be. Two can play at the "boycott" game. Or is it only allowed from the left?

Thanks. I'll take that as an "I don't know what the hell to respond with, but I have to say SOMETHING . . . "

Actually, I just didn't feel like wasting any more electrons by responding further. I thought I was simply underlining the silliness of your post:



[quote]... I think it's perfectly justifiable that the City Council isn't offering information on enlisting in the military. The reason is because there is a very clear, recognizable governmental authority in place for people to go to if they want to find out about joining the military. There's are thousands of recruiting centers across the country, and the average person knows they exist, and knows that it's the place to go if you want to throw your life away -- er, join the military.



There's no corresponding structure in place for people to learn about being a conscientious objector. Berkeley doesn't need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to offering military information, but they definitely *are* offering a new service by providing a "one-stop" place to find out about being a CO....<hr></blockquote>



There's a reason why there's no corresponding structure in place to learn about being a CO. It isn't needed. The Berkeley City Council ISN'T offering a new service. There isn't a single soul in the entire city who has been served with a draft notice and who needs to know how to respond. Nor will there be. The Berkeley City Council isn't offering a new service to their constituents. They've merely cobbled together a rickety soapbox. Imagine that. Soapboxes aren't even that hard to build and they couldn't even get that right.



Like I said: dumb.

Ah, Berkley...an amazing place...possibly the largest concentration of high IQ's on earth, with the absolute lowest concentration of common sense. A living, breathing paradox...in Birkenstocks. Far out, man. Anyone like some Bong water with their pine nut sandwich?





Hey Artman, nice visuals! *lol*

just to set the record straight, my initial response when i first saw a picture of that imac, was

"OMFG! apple has just released the butt-ugliest computer ever made!"

and i nearly vomited all over the keyboard of this lovely PM, running Mac OS X :chill:
