Your link refutes your claim that Indians are racists. To win arguments, you must avoid presenting contrary evidence.
India is one of the places that I would like to visit. I can't think of any reason to go to Pakistan, unless I wanted to be tortured then killed by Muslim fanatics. Fix your own country before disparaging the people of India.
It seems as though that list contains a lot of redundancy. How many groups, committees, organizations, agencies, bureaus, offices, institutes, networks, departments, centres, "teams", stations, and offices -- all doing essentially the same or similar work, most of them promoting a leftwing agenda -- does any country really need? and how many can the taxpayers afford?
The US government needs to do what the Canadian government is doing. Too bad it will most likely have to wait till 2017 for that to begin.
When Senator Jay Rockefeller (Dem-WV) went to Syria in early 2002, and told Bashar Assad to pass along a warning to Saddam Hussein about US plans for regime change in Iraq, wasn't that giving aid and comfort to an enemy? And, since Rockefeller was a member of the Select Committee on Intelligence, and had highly classified knowledge about US war plans, the info he was passing along was not just idle conjecture.
That's why they are not repatriating the profits they earn outside the US. Corporate tax rates are too high -- the government would likely collect more revenue from lower rates, as firms would be less likely to shelter earnings from the taxman.
It was not my intent to post the above comment anonymously. The comments about trillions of dollars of global GNP are mine and should not be attributed to anyone else except by consensus.
I propose that the Daytona International Speedway set aside four weeks each year for fuel economy testing.
First, each tested vehicle should be driven 40 laps (100 miles) around the circuit at a constant 70 mph, using a very carefully measured quantity of fuel. That will produce the highway mileage rating.
Then, a course laid out in the infield, with sectors of different speeds, stop signs and stop lights, simulated passing zones, etc, would produce an urban cycle fuel economy rating.
The grandstands could be opened to the public, though the testing itself would probably be pretty boring. But at least it would be a transparent procedure and superior to the current problematic methodology.
The first mobile phones were the size of bricks, but they got better and smaller. If Google Glass doesn't succeed, it will be because Google or someone else makes a better version. At any rate, this idea can't be uninvented.
The Disney executives clearly know how to make tons of money from the sale of crap, but at some point maybe we will all reach the limit to our desire for wookie action figures.
The republicans are a financially conservative party that wants to interfere with your personal life The democrats are a financially conservative party that doesn't want to interfere with your personal life. America doesn't have a financially liberal party</quote>
Most Republicans do not care who you screw, or what label you give to your partner; but they think the traditional definition of marriage should be retained. This is exactly what Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and most congressional Democrats believed until about 12 or18 months or so.
Most Republicans believe that it is morally wrong to kill babies. If killing babies is part of your personal life, then I guess they do want to interfere in that respect.
Democrats are fiscally conservative? You means "Democrats" plural, as in there is more than one who thinks that way? Can you name two, or even one?
It hardly matters what Google does with this product. It's been invented and there's no way that it can be uninvented. So there will be other versions from other companies. If Google de-contents its product, there will be others with even more features.
Someone trained in the scientific method can evaluate data impartially, as long as it does not conflict with his own work or contradict his own research.
But a scientist is just as likely to lie, cheat, or steal as anyone else, when it is in his interest to do so.
I question the validity of any study that "proves" scientists are more ethical than non-scientists.
Since their HQ is in a former Nato bunker, you'd think that Nato would know its vulnerabilities: a small thermonuclear blast, or a slightly bigger one? Whatever it takes -- no one will complain if there's a bit of collateral damage, as long as the spammers are destroyed.
The Constitution specifies that there must be at least two witnesses to a treasonous action.
A wiretapped phone call from Anne Chennault to Bui Diem is hardly evidence against Richard Nixon.
Especially when that phone call allegedly took place on November 2 1968, three days before the election. It could hardly have changed the outcome of the peace negotiations, as had the call not been made there still would not have been an agreement before the election.
If you're going to prosecute private citizens for negotiating with foreign governments, then don't forget to indict Jimmy Carter for meddling with North Korea during the Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama administrations.
You might also find something to charge Jay Rockefeller with, when he advised Syrian president Hafez Assad (father of current dictator) to warn Saddam Hussein that Bush was serious about regime change and that he should get ready for war. That was in early 2002, so Rockefeller was giving more than a year's advance warning to an enemy.
Excuse me, but it was Johnson who escalated the war, raising troop levels from around 20,000 when he took office to over 500,000 when he left.
Nixon did not escalate the war. He simply changed the commander in charge -- out with Westmoreland and in with Creighton Abrams -- and changed the strategy to one that actually worked.
When the peace treaty was signed in Paris in 1973, it was the result of military victory by the US and South Vietnam. Defeat by the North Vietnamese came later, after Senate Democrats cut off aid to South Vietnam. It was those Democrats who were really the ones guilty of treason, since we're throwing around that term.
The people who steal music or movies or other digital media were probably never going to buy that stuff in the first place.
It makes sense, of course, to keep thievery from becoming so easy that everyone can do it -- and it was that way back in the early days of file sharing. But nowadays there is a sharper line between buyers and stealers.
I've added RAM to one of the older, harder-to-access Minis. Once you get that far, swapping out a hard drive would take another five minutes. It looks intimidating but it's not that hard.
I actually prefer a tower like the Mac Pro, but you can buy four or five Mac Minis for the price of a Mac Pro.
We've only got two Mac Minis in the family. One has been running continuously since 2005, the other continuously only since 2010. The optical drive on the older one stopped working, but otherwise they've been trouble free.

My 2011 Mini is more powerful than my 2005 Mac Pro. There aren't many people who need a desktop computer with more guts than the Mac Mini.

Aren't all of India's enemies on the same continent? Why does it need an intercontinental-range missile?
But it seems as though Yahoo is torn between preservation and relevance. It's kind of like AOL about 10 or 15 years ago.

If energy consumers in other countries want our coal and are willing to pay for it, that's great!
The people who will document their lives most completely will be the ones with lives so boring that no one will care.
The fascinating ones will leave behind endless mysteries for speculation.
