    It mean you can apply math is a specific way, not that you can apply critical thought to issues.

    2. They are worse, because it's intentional. To not know better is one thing, to know better and ignore it is just insidious.

    That is the exact same thing about Christianity.

    Nope.

      Jesus replied, “And why do you, by your traditions, violate the direct commandments of God? 4 For instance, God says, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[a] and ‘Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.’[b] 5 But you say it is all right for people to say to their parents, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have given to you.’ 6 In this way, you say they don’t need to honor their parents.[c] And so you cancel the word of God for the sake of your own tradition.

    He is calling them hypocrites becasue they found a way around killing kids for not respecting their parents.
    Think about that.

    Because you seem simple:
    He was calling them hypocrites for NOT KILLING CHILDREN.

    "You want to know why Japan never tried an attack on the US mainland? They knew the citizens outgunned their army 40 to 1."
    Bullshit. It was a logistic issue. Admiral Yamamoto noted that they lost the war the moment they attacked Pearl Harbor. Why? Logistics.

    Nice quote from someone who never existed. Oh, do you mean Isoroku Yamamoto? He did exist, but he never said that quote.

    Just like every other made up fact by the pro gun morons.

    t it. They don't seem bad. But what type of person rises to the top in those events?
    The same type of person who won't give up power to a stable government.
    Basically,you are arming warlords, and not citizenry of a large single government.

    ".. because that works against our interest in keeping the region destabilized. I.."
    I see.

    Take you expected costs, double it, then throw the piece of paper way because it's still useless.

    That drive me up the wall. Why have an entry level phone? the manufacturing costs between 16 and 64 is tiny. Why support some many phone types? just make 1 64GB phone.

    And I ask the in earnest. What data support the cost of different lines vs/ the cost of all of them being 64GB?

    Turns out, that's not true.
    Arming locals in an unstable environment has been the continuing problem with all modern conflicts in the mid-east.

    It kind of made sense in the 50s, when the government was reasonably stable and before religious zealots started getting government power.

    I like you assumption that all Muslims want holy wars.

    Please, explain in what way there aren't talented?
    It's fine you don't like their music, but to say they don't have talent indicate you have some professional music creation detail they are doing wrong.
    Wrong notes? off timing?
    I look forward to a detail analysis of their work.

    Wrong.
    Apple thinks it can give someone a gift, and trust that person setting to accurate reflect the user.

    " I want my library to be composed of material I choose, not apple."
    The turn off that damn feature., IT's not Apples fault you don't know how to use your phone.

    I bet you are so outrage, you'll get rid of all your Apple stuff, right? what's that? you won't? Then you don't care that much. do you?

  21. Re:Perspective on Say Goodbye To That Unwanted U2 Album · · Score: 1

    Yes, it is overblown. People got a free album. It was downloaded to device that were set to allow automatic downloads. End of story.

    You can be a hypocrite and still realize change needs to be made. When you are entrenched in a system, you can only change it from inside the system.
