Actually, it's the Arabs and Oil companies that are the winners there. Nice try, but . . . no, for so many reasons.
Funny, though.
I'm all in favor for an alternative to cars, actually. Instead of touchscreens, I want the jetpack they promised us, or a flying car, or a personal spacecraft, as Mars is actually looking sweeter all the time.
Never underestimate one's ability to make it someone else's problem. And by 'people', you actually mean 'sheeple'.
And no, there does not 'got to be' a way that touch screens could be rendered useful for me, unless it is to shove them up the ass of those that believe so, and give our proctologists a giggle. I find the entire concept ridiculous, as I do most of today's attempts to indoctrinate our young to 'indispensable' technology that does nothing to improve the human condition, and only serves to generate money for corporate slime-balls, and turn human beings into automatons serving the wills of their corporate masters.
As for a grinch-like attitude, it serves me a hell of a lot better than blindly following those that have failed to raise the bar for us as a species, and leave said bar rusting in the shit and mud that is the norm for the human race.
Please report to the nearest Soylent Green manufacturing facility for immediate processing.
So I need to wear accessories just to implement the newest fad tech to be pushed down our throats in order to make others rich? I'd end up using the cord to strangle those responsible. . .
What about those of us whose electrical conductivity are beyond the norm? There are people that cannot use touchscreens with accuracy due to their bodies own electrical impulses (I can't wear a digital watch, for instance, or a smartphone with a touch screen for more than a few seconds before it becomes unusable)). Are these people going to be forced to adapt to a world where they cannot use computers due to the propagation of a trend technology, where people are led to believe the next thing coming down the pipe is the greatest thing since sliced bread? Simple truth is: if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Personally, I have as much use for a touchscreen, and Windows 8, as I would a second anus. And can you imagine trying to play WoW or anything more complicated than a flash-based game on a touchscreen? Are these people insane? Oh, wait . . . we're talking about Microsoft here, so of course they are. . .
I'd like to see the world of Privateer and Wing Commander: Prophecy made into an MMO. Earth and Beyond was a start, but I think if you added the features that made Privateer so much fun, you could have a successful franchise.
Men have penises. Deal with it. This is what happens when you have a society that is founded by fundamentalist extremists. It's perfectly fine to see people bash the shit out of each other on screen, or to view bodies in various states of death or dismemberment, but show a penis, and all of a sudden, people have no idea what to do. If you can't deal with such simple facts as the natural state of our own bodies, then you shouldn't be a parent in the first place, because as a parent, it's your fucking JOB to make your children aware of the world, and prepare them for greater things. One thing we don't need, is for people to breed like rats while passing on their own fears and limitations into their offspring, thus ensuring yet another generation of mediocrity.
Grow the fuck up, people. The key word is: EVOLVE. I know that word scares some folks, and rightly so, as those people are correctly sensing that they have been earmarked for extinction. Let's raise the bar for a change, instead of lowering it into the gutter, shall we? Let's get over the fact that someone dared to be creative, and someone else actually had the balls to present that creativity with something approaching the original spirit of the source material, instead of bowing to the knuckle-dragging, 'think-of-the-children', mentality that's been holding this country back for over three decades, and instead, encourage others to raise the bar as well. Let's try something NEW for a change, because the other way hasn't worked . . . ever. Either that, or report to the nearest Soylent Green Manufacturing Facility for immediate processing. . . .
Let's just form a raiding group, and declare open season on the patent trolls. Find a few of these bastards hanging from telephone poles, and maybe they'll think twice. Personally, I'd like to see an open season on all lawyers, with no bag limit, that runs from Jan. 1 - Dec. 31. Bag a big bag o' crap today, and make the world a better place!
Of course they'll believe it. Our country is already a fascist dictatorship posing as 'democracy'. If they can boldly steal a presidential election, and get away with it, which they have, and push such sad shit as 'the Patriot Act' down our throats, then they can get away with just about anything. Keep the public stupid through the use of the media, and ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
We need to open up the system to other parties, and get leaders like our founding fathers had in mind when they created this country, people who still believe in the freedom of the individual, as well as the country.
There is nothing in any way remotely amusing about this, people. WAKE THE FUCK UP!
Our rights are being chipped away every day, and you sheeple are allowing it to happen!
We need to CRUSH THIS SHIT NOW! Without mercy or remorse. We need to send a clear message to the lying murderous scumbags responsible, i.e., our government, that this shit just won't fly. Period.
It's bad enough that in places such as where I live, police threaten accident victims with violence (this happened to me personally after being a victim of a hit and run), and pull over females in order to coerce them into exposing themselves in order to get out of a trumped up ticket (this happened to my daughter). We certainly don't need to hand them an excuse, and the ability, to make things worse.
We need to be able to control and regulate these fuckers before we're all in camps. Don't believe me? TAKE A LOOK AROUND! Personally, anyone who allows themselves to be brainwashed into allowing this crap, and those who just sit on their ass making jokes about it, are just as guilty as those who actively promote it, and should suffer severe punishments in the name of liberty, for they do not deserve even the illusion of 'freedom' that is being so readily destroyed in this country.
Sounds to me like it would be really easy to solve the problem once and for all. Just find where these genetic misfits are hiding and torch the building.
Problem solved, and once less group of idiots breeding on an otherwise overburdened planet.
These morons should be allowed to wallow in their own stupidity to the point where they collapse under it. Then, they should be denied any bankruptcy status, as their financial situation is caused by sheer stupidity. Then, all businesses hiring for any position, anywhere, should then not hire anyone who has worked for an airline in any capacity. Sort of a "We're sorry, but we're canceling the concept of hiring scumbags' policy.
It's the public that has the power. ..when are they going to wake up to it? To not do a thing is one of the easiest things in the world.
The public needs to teach these arrogant bastards a lesson, one that has been long in coming.
This would then serve as a wake-up call to any corporation that screws over the common man, and serve to remove such a vile word as 'consumer' from our common lexicon.
I don't need the inconvenience heaped on me by all the crap forced upon air travelers, so I don't fly.
No one else needs it either, although most are convinced they do. If they really did, civilization would have collapsed early on by our inability to satisfy our instant gratification needs. How in the world anything got accomplished in history without air travel is beyond me. It's amazing we even learned to walk upright, without having some authority to pack us into lines, inspect and invade us.
Perhaps if we had, as a species, a single moment of clarity, we might discover that the whole game is rigged, that those in power are stripping us of all our common sense rights, and that we don't need to sacrifice our liberty so some company can make a profit.
Here's an idea. ..let's rid the entire planet of the asshats, and then we won't NEED airport security. ..or homeland security. ..or any of those carefully constructed euphemisms that all equal 'we're fucking you, because we can, and because you allow us to. ..'
Now, if only the Republicans could learn to be anything other than evil, warmongering pieces of shit, we'd have something resembling a real society. ..maybe.
. ..when he explained American Politics this way:
"I believe the puppet on the left shares my beliefs. ..oh, I think the puppet on the right is more to my liking. Holy shit! The same guy is controlling both puppets! *sound of gunshot and Bill collapses^
There's only one solution at this point. We need to take back control of the government and give it back to the people. Excuse me, but I have to go now. ..the Office of Fatherland Insecurity is kicking in my door. Gotta go. . .
As a suggestion, "Stardance" by Spider Robinson, or Frederick Pohl's "Gateway". These weren't written for younger readers, but I think they could grasp them quite easily.
It's called a pair of pliers, which I will use to rip out any of that crap out of any vehicle I own, and hope everyone else will eventually evolve enough to have the balls to do the same thing.
I've hated OnStar from the start, could see the implications immediately, and have NOT been quiet about it, telling whoever may have the ears to hear. If anyone is insane enough to be buying a car in this particular time in history, they should be explicit in that NO ONSTAR or any such technology be included, and that the buyer not be made responsible for the cost of that in any way.
Revolution, people. It's what is needed now, and has been for quite some time.
Lock and load, and LET'S GO!
Greed. They wanted to maximize their profit ratio, and while I don't have anything against smart business, their attitude has soured me against ever buying anything from them again.
Basically, their attitude toward their fans has been one of greed and smells, badly, of hypocrisy. Lars. ..I hope you end your days penniless, giving rim jobs to syphilitic sumo wrestlers to earn their dinner scraps.
. ..and it needs to be messy, and as nasty as possible.
I am an artist. I sell artwork commercially, both online and at major artisan shows. I will never check the background of anyone that wishes to purchase art from me. Ever. Regardless of the lengths needed. Nor will I allow myself to be fined or otherwise intimidated by this fascist sack of crap passing itself off as a government.
Big Brother is kindly invited to lick my nuts.
This used to be the land of the free and the home of the brave, not the land of the 'secure' and the home of the naive.
The choice is before you: be a part of the solution, or remain a part of the problem.
My idea of comedy is pouring sulfuric acid on the open wounds of idiots who abuse their authority, and watching them scream and beg me for mercy I do not possess. It never fails to put a smile on my face. The satisfaction from that is second only to a good orgasm.
As you can likely tell, jokes are not played upon me often, and when they are, it's pretty much just that once. The last person who played an 'April Fools' joke on me - had spray adhesive shot through a lighter onto their person.
I guess our friend Phil O'Shaunessy over at Creative is starting to feel the heat. Too bad. I'll be doing everything I can to see their company flushed down the crapper they've shit themselves into.
We need to stand fast, and put this, and any other company, government, or organization that thinks it can play the public, out of business for good. I hope old Phil is reduced to giving head in a New Jersey bus station in order to survive, only to contract flesh eating bacteria and slowly rot to death.
Let's all do our part to put this company our of our misery. Goodbye Creative, and I hope the door smacks your ass on the way out.
