    Don't forget that there have been several bills proposed that would prevent medicare and medicaid from negotiating prices. Want to make a wild guess which two groups lobbied for those?

    Yea, you really can't trust doctors. There are some good ones, but even the best of the bunch make mistakes. The majority though, are hopped up on meds in order to get through ridiculously long shifts, don't really give a shit about you in the first place, and make major mistakes on a routine basis.

    You are assuming that others want to resume from exactly where they left off.
    For me that is very rare.

    Personally I tend to stick with hardware raid when possible.

    Advertisers are the people who pay these folks to play video games. People like to watch them and advertisers serve them adds.
    Personally I contest your assertion of legal. There are several things which are illegal in which I fully support. Things such as selling weed, or prostitution.

    Liar, I am the Linux user. I am several days late because I have been playing Tomb Raider on my Linux machine.

  7. There is no part of the Constitution that allows the government to have secrets. The government has no powers not explicitly given to it in the Constitution, that is the whole point of its existence.

    No, we pretended that we abolished slavery. Slavery is still allowed if you are convicted of a crime, and the government is allowed to own slaves.

    And a large amount of brainwashing too.

  11. Can you have two paypal accounts? You could have one for buying stuff and one that is used exclusively for receiving payments.

  12. If you rely on a credit card for financial security you have some severe issues with handling your money.

    Don't forget that the free car also comes with the option of 20 or so alien seats available if you happen to be an alien, which can be installed in a matter of minutes. All of which is free of charge.

    What kind of crack are you smoking?
    Setting up Win7 to be usable and the way I like it: 3-4 hours Setting up Kubuntu, OpenSuse, Fedora, or Mint: 2 hours max, and unlike Windows that includes updates.

  15. Son, I probably own more guns than you have ever touched. Don't try to tell me what a gun feels like.

    No, time to fire them all.

  17. They do fail sometimes. No idea if it still exists, but in the early 2000's there was a bug in Ford's anti-lock brake system where on rare occasions it would glitch. The brake pedal would fall to the floor and the brakes did nothing at all.
    It happened to me in my 2000 Mustang. Fortunately it only happened once to me, but the cop at the accident was familiar with the issue, so it wasn't just some isolated incident, and likely not only in Ford vehicles.

  18. Exactly.

  19. No, they do not feel like toy guns. If you really think that then you have never handled a real gun before. Also, please don't touch one, we don't need complete idiots playing with things they know nothing about.

  20. I don't remember why you ended up on my foe list, but after this comment you are coming off of it. Most people are under the belief that their country couldn't possibly turn into the next USSR or the next Nazi Germany, but they are wrong. People are very easily fooled and can be made to believe almost anything with enough propaganda.

  21. Awesome sig!

    If such are mass produced I'd give it less than a month before someone figures out how to disable every one of these guns within half a mile using off the shelf parts that fit in a small backpack or briefcase. The government knows this, in fact it is the main reason they want this technology in your gun, but not theirs.

  23. I'm perfectly fine with this, but if it becomes mandated, or mysteriously all the guns being sold start having such which cannot be easily removed, then it is time to use our guns to eliminate a corrupt government.

  24. The problem with such devices is that they will have a way to disable them from a distance, wether it be a built-in method or just a frequency that disrupts the communication between the gun and what it is paired with. If the government can disable your weapon then it is useless.

  25. Have you ever noticed how almost all of the authoritarians are extremely racist?
