    Never is a big stretch. There are plenty of historical examples of the military and paramilitary massacring ordinary citizens for all sorts of reasons.

    Sounds like COBOL. Do you have to put an asterisk in column 7 for comments too?

    The never ending shaming and dismissal of our point of view is not the best way to get men on side.

    SJWs are very obnoxious when I point out that white men have problems too. They don't want to include us in their "equality" conversations unless we're abasing ourselves for existing. This is part of the reason why President Trump is a possibility.

  11. Re: Liberals and willful ignorance on Chrome Extension Offers Trump-Free Browsing (usnews.com) · · Score: 1

    No the poor ones were left to suffer and die which is what you seem to be happy with as well. If some imaginary society or charity took care of the poor and sick then where were they when people were dying of cholera in the slums? Why have those charities not eliminated suffering in countries where the goverments are weak or non existent? Why would anyone bother to go to the huge hassle and expense of creating universal health care or welfare of it was already being done? I know, I know commie commie burn the witch!

    The government still demands payment for those things at gunpoint. In most countries letting people starve when they get old or suffer with treatable conditions is considered a bad thing. You can clearly see into the future and know that nothing will prevent you affording health care and a retirement income. Most people are not so lucky.

  15. Millennials are often not qualified to understand the hows and whys something was implemented a particular way. Sure, their high-falooting college edumacation gave them everything they need to know about IT, so the first thing they do is come in is to run their mouths, and then get frustrated because no one older or more experienced / wiser seems to want to immediately jump on board and run with their new ideas. Sure, new ideas should be explored, but only in time and with the appropriate amount of study and testing.

    This is not just a 21st century problem. Kids always seem to know better. I'm sure I was the same before I had a lawn to tell kids to get off.

    I wouldn't want Samsung's 95% done attitude to mobiles anywhere near any medical equipment. I hope the medical equipment they do make is of a much better standard. Apple medical products would look very nice but would be missing some features.

    Because it's 10 or more times faster which is a big deal for things that do a lot of hard disc accessing such as games, Visual Studio and whatever Windows does in the background that ties up the hard drive for minutes at a time.

    Have a look at countries that don't have government funded schools. Do they appear in the top 20 countries for education? The problems with the education system are deep rooted and getting rid of unions will not magically solve them.
