Reply to I hate Clam-shell packaging! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

There are variations that would even work(like having it be able to click closed and seal it with shrink wrap. It would be relatively hard to open the package at the store, but it would be easy to open at home and reclose if you need a return or to put something away.

Reply to I hate Clam-shell packaging! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Holy shit dude... clamshell packaging is a scourge to the modern world on a scale that shrinkwrap can only dream of. It is the supervillain of all packaging. I hate the fact that you can't really return something in that packaging if you've opened it(if you got the wrong component for instance.)

Reply to My take on Civilization? It's a good thing. in Politics JoeUser Forums

See, I probably would have shrugged if it was any other word but Civilization. Capitalism, Republicanism, Liberalism , Socialism, democracy, fascism, extremism, fundementalism, moderation.... the list goes on.

Reply to Morgan Freeman and Racism in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Part of the problem of inclusion is that a lot of the times, it is done without taking quality into account. Sometimes pieces are forgotten because they really aren't as good, and not because of other underlying societal problems. I am not saying that about more modern literature, only for those classes which have revisited the past to unearth other authors to try to give a wider perspective rather than present the best from that era.

Reply to Forlorn lover leaves ring in unlocked car in Misc JoeUser Forums

I am getting the feeling that she didn't let him down hard... unless you have more information. To me, it seems like she is gone, like GONE... passed on. That makes it even sadder, don't you think?

McDonald's sent them a cease and desist letter for using Golden Arches in one of their pictures. Asshats say, no, we won't cease and desist because we are protected under Fair Use and mocked the lawyer sending the letter. Now, what do you think McDonald's is gonna do now. . . . *thinks John Edwards should give up the "Biggest Douche in the Universe" award to these guys*
