Q.E.D. Most Americans (hell, most people anywhere) lack any sort of philosophy or reality-based worldview of their own and are forced to turn to mainstream media (which is all too eager to hand out their convenient, pre-packaged version with super-sticky adhesive backing).
To quote James Bovard (sorry, folks; this one doesn't get credited to ole' Ben Franklin after all):
"Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to eat for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote."

On good old 18th and 19th century style rails-on-wood-in-pebble ballast. I could drive my dodge caravan around at 100MPH too and call it a high speed sports car....
However, it'd be far more entertaining for the rest of us if you drove it around at 100mph (on good old 18th and 19th century style rails-on-wood-in-pebble ballast) and called it a train...:p
All ten of them will no doubt be thrilled to hear

A bit of good news for American travelers
All ten of them will no doubt be thrilled to hear this.
Those sound so familiar; I'm thinking I might've come across them on urbandictionary.com (at the same time, if I'm not mistaken, as I found about the "dirty sanchez" and "rusty trombone")...
The price is perfectly realistic, really; in fact, it's quite well thought-out. By the time these are ready for large-scale roll-out, inflation will have caught up nicely.
The look on the four year old's face (when she's accusing her sister of being the culprit) is usually a more effective giveaway (not to mention a less-noxious one)...:)
Nobody, other than a tiny fraction of one percent of insane people, wake up in the morning and actively set out to do "evil" things.
True enough but sadly they're the very same tiny minority who covet power the most. Even if only an even tinier fraction of them are smart enough to accumulate it, accumulate, they do; look at history... or into the soulless eyes of a Washington D.C. politician.
You can bet your left nut (or ovary; far be it for me to exclude the testicularly challenged - with the exception of ole' Adolf) that the establishment/mainstream media - after all, they're the essentially the same thing these days - will milk the living shit out of this.*
*That was admittedly a questionable mixing of metaphors on my part, given the less than pleasant visuals that they might evoke...
If you don't want to be exploited both coming and going, don't buy an xbox anything.
And if you want to make absolutely certain that you never hand Microsoft another penny ever again, you need to avoid more than a few Android devices as well.:(
Actually, they're doing better and better since they told the criminal banking cartel to fuck off... (Perhaps if the Greeks, Cypriots, Portuguese and Spanish were descended from Vikings, they'd have some bigger balls, too...):p
And this, Ladies and Gentlemen (and those of you somewhere in between), gets to the very bottom of why the Establishment has begun ratcheted up its attack on the 2nd Amendment.
On a closely related note, anyone who disputes the fact that Fascism is becoming more and more willing to reveal itself (it has not been dormant for the past ~65 years but rather in disguise) is either a fool or a shill.
So the gist of what you're saying is, it makes sense if a modern, portable multimedia computer lacks something as simple and basic (not to mention ridiculously cheap and easy to implement) as removable storage?! Because you, personally, don't have need for such a feature?? Let's be glad you're not a smartphone designer... wait, are you?!:p

I must tell you, I love your posts. I haven't read one yet that didn't have the relevance and impact of a freight train.
I've simply got to know: are you actually a girl... or are you merely training to become one? :p
Because some of us care about safety.
Here's an even better reason: because you do not want that shit reproducing...
Pfft, I can achieve more with less.
Just give me Taco Bell.

Now we need one that shows the source of a smell (at least, my family certainly does).

If they taught you grammar like that, I would have too.
If they taught you punctuation like that, I would have, too.
:p
I just detect them with my own built-in rod which isn't fake.
That works great until you get koro and can't find it...

No one *needs* genetically-engineered crops
I beg to differ: Monsanto does.
(The rest of us just need sustainable farming and water-conservation methods, namely...)
If you can do it in your house all the rules are out the door (legally you are also supposed to have the FFL, but...).
Incorrect.You do not need an FFL to manufacture your own firearm for personal use.
They will be most thankful that humans have kept their historical "culture" properly archived
And they'll think we taste like chicken.

But really, it's no worse than the US which can confiscate your laptop at the airport and go through all your files.
...unless you're a Palestinian.
FTFY

I'm not sure the words "beef" and "dinner" were the best choice to use in the headline... :p
Rights in the USA are only for citizens now?
If you've been following the news over the past twelve or so years, they apparently aren't for anyone anymore...
Try renting a car and driving, you will not find your travel impeded in any way.
Correct; there are no such things as TSA Viper teams. Repeat it twice if you have to.
