Maybe they killed themselves because they were sick of listening to you extrapolating personal anecdotes to explain national phenomena.
Jeebuz cryeye on a pogo stick, you are one nasty mean asshole aren't you? We got a fellow who is depressed, and noted some relatives had committed suicide.
And you thought that was an appropriate response? We do need a -5 asshole mod.
No, I'm not saying it. You're projecting. I'm saying that the actual food prices haven't gone up significantly.
They've gone up more than wages for people who are still making minimum wage, and around 3/4 of those people are trying to raise a family.
Now you did it. Time for some to break out the claims that minimum wage is for teenagers. Meanwhile, I'm sitting in a McD's, and there isn't a worker here under 30. That's pretty typical.
As people who were once higher on the economic ladder move down, they are taking the jobs that teenagers may once have enjoyed. As well, they are collecting food stamps, getting housing assistance and daycare assistance. Funded by our tax dollars.
Meanwhile the top two hedge fund managers are making the rough equivalent of 300,000 minimum wage workers. Is this system supposed to be working? It has long ago transcended normal ideas of fairness of wages or taxes and reached full potato status.
Many have seen the future, and it doesn't include them. So I'm not surprised that one time well to do white people are becoming addicted to drugs, and find suicide as the ultimate debt consolidation program.
And there it is, we have a raving progressive liberal; what he really means is "Bush is Evil(tm), Bush is from Texas, They grow beef in Texas, therefore Beef is Evil(tm) too; Additionally the Earth is going to supernova due to Greenhouse gasses, Beef fart methane, methane is a greenhouse gas, therefore beef is even more Evil(tm)".
An example of what happens when neoconservatives discover ganja. The histrionics go to 11.
So when they start chaging for it - that means they'll quit trying to trick me into installing it? Will they remove the install files for W10 on people's computers?
Yippee! This may be the best thing Microsoft has ever done for computing.
A person does not have to be a shill to simply have a rational look at an OS and see that a whole lot of the bullshit being spread around the internet about it is just nonsense. Also, spouting away about shills every time you see somebody say "hey windows 10 is ok", makes you look a little silly.
My desk at home is crowded with my windows 10 PC, a Linux box and a FreeBSD system. I expect that quite a few./ people (the older and experienced portion maybe) have more than one operating system in use in their daily lives, and are not scared of experimenting and trying things out. These people are quite capable of comparing Gnome 3 with Windows 10 and saying what they think. Stop wanking away about "shills" every time you see a statement you don't like on here.
I have several Linux boxes an iMac, and a W10 evaluation machine. It's a pity, W10 actually works well, but I won't put anything important on it. Wireshark is your friend.
Windows 10 has a number of default settings for privacy and security that are too permissive. If you upgrade to Windows 10 you have to know how to change the privacy and security defaults. Also you should be aware that Microsoft tries to force your hand to use a Microsoft Account as your local login. I recommend doing your homework before applying updating to Windows 10..
And don't forget that every time you get an update you need to go into your security settings again and change them back to what you want.
And I'm not certain that Microsoft ays attention to them at all anyhow.
plasma production stopped because LCD screens were so much cheaper that it was no longer competitive. Likewise, they are stopping LCD screens for the same reason. They can't compete with the cheap screens being massed produced by others. They are staying in the niche markets where quality matters more than price, but how long is anybody's guess.
More importantly, since there is now only one major producers of LCD screens, how long before prices start going up?
As well, plasma screens tend to throw off broadband noise - imagine each little element as a tiny spark radio transmitter.
As for the falling popular, they have been trying to make children a more attractive prospect. Free nurseries and support for new parents, better employment rights for paternity/maternity leave etc. It's a hard problem to solve, but at least there is less opposition from people who feel they shouldn't have to contribute to other people's kids. It's seen as a national problem (which it is), not just an individual lifestyle choice.
I suspect that one of the most difficult problems to solve is the issue of people not wanting to be around children. Here in the west, if you are male, and especially a white middle aged male you are pretty much considered a latent pedophile. This in turn has the effect of making a lot of people simply avoid children altogether, much less want to have any of their own. Dunno what the situation is in Japan, but free stuff won't overcome the societies assuming that the father of a child is a sexual predator.
Some guy that had his weenie cut off is not much danger to our wimminfolk, considering s/he probably didn't cut it off in order to become a lesbian.
Dear God you're an idiot. Gender identity has jack shit to do with sexual preference; and yes, as a result a significant number of men who become women still prefer women.
And the trap is sprung. You just made the argument for bathroom access by sexual preference. If a man who has changed themselves into a woman, and is now a transgender lesbian who preys on the wimminfolk, you now have to enact laws keeping lesbians and homosexuals out of bathrooms for straight folk.
The transgender bathroom moral panic goes to show how malleable, or in this case ductile American public opinion is.
A tempest in a teapot and no doubt. Transgenders pretty much just want to be left alone, and given that in women's toilets - at least in America, there are stalls. No one even knows.
And it's a pretty safe bet that most of us have made tinkle in a rest room at the same time as someone who has changed gender. We just didn't know it at the time.
I wonder if the red states are going to have a pecker prodder or peen inspector appointed so that God's will is served?
Imagine, they want this person to use a men's room : http://www.aceshowbiz.com/imag...
I'm envisioning a bunch of good old fundies getting together in a scene reminiscent to the witch trial in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
No, we are debating whether letting sex predators and perverts into the ladies room is a good idea or not.
I have grave news for ya Bucky - Sexual predators and perverts have been going into your ladies rooms for a long long long long time before you got to throw a little more hatred of gays and people who aren't the right type of people as you would have it. Google fu shows that as a fact.
And you could burn every transgernder person at the stake and the sexual predators and perverts will still go in to rest rooms. Why? Not many transgenders are that.
Don't for a minute pretend that this isn't just more of the projection based hatred of people who think that restrooms equal sex, and that someone that changes gender is somehow a prevert. Some guy that had his weenie cut off is not much danger to our wimminfolk, considering s/he probably didn't cut it off in order to become a lesbian.
A heterosexual male with bad impulse control and a penchant for sexually assaulting women on the other hand is, and a person like that isn't going to think "I was going to follow that woman into the restroom and rape her, but there's a lat against me going in there, so I better not."
And these laws? They don't do a thing about that.
And considering that what passes for normal in today's Republican party as evidenced by the last 8 years, given inviting foreign leders in to disrespect a sitting president - which was for all intents and purposes swearing alliegience and fealty to a foreign country over America, and their purposely shutting down the Government. He is certainly more of an American than they are.
Which by the way, should the Republican party survive, they will hopefully learn not to make the zealotry of fundamentalists a party principle. Those people demand the right to deny others their rights, cannot compromise, and even totalitarian governments have to compromise at times.
Anyhow, nationalism isn't that good an outlook either. That tends to lead to a lot of dead people.

If you don't know why you aren't happy, then change.
Nothing like a person who knows nothing about depression giving medical advice.
Like telling a dead person to "walk it off".

c'mon dude, like geeze - c'mon dude.
I don't know why so many people have a problem with those simple tasks.
Probably related to them needing help in the first place.
Who cares. As the republicans say: Fuck the planet, let God sort it out.
Since tthe rapture is any day now, you can't blame them.
uhm, if they are on windows they can just use Skype to share their screen....
But as a person who gives a lot of support to windows users, I don't use Windows - goint to front me a free one?
Easier than getting them to join a GoToMeeting, making them a presenter, then having them display their screen?
Having used both, Teamviwer works better IMO.
So when they start chaging for it - that means they'll quit trying to trick me into installing it? Will they remove the install files for W10 on people's computers? Yippee! This may be the best thing Microsoft has ever done for computing.
Oh, for crying out loud, it was a gadammend joke.
Linux is way more stable than windows on my laptop, for any purpose.
Yeah, my iPad is way more stable than windows too.
But I still use Windows on my Laptop, because iOS, just like Linux, is totally useless for doing any real work.

Umm, no mention of OSX? I wouls love to hear how it is useless as well.

They are staying in the niche markets where quality matters more than price...
They are staying in the niche markets where the margins are much higher.
Isn't that what I said?
No no, you are both wrong. They are staying in markets where they make more profit........
You are all describing three sides of the same coin (yes, coins have three sides).
And at least mine was trying to find more ways to say the same thing they did.
Oh won't someone please think of the poor middle aged white guys!?.
Sorta made a sweeping generalization there yourself, spunky.

Japan has a big advantage in that it's an island nation, so it doesn't need to spend much on ground forces.
And the US needs to keep our wimminfolk safe from those gaddammed Canadians! A bunch of poutine eatin' yetis, I'll tell you what!
