I find your argument in support of abortion to be unconvincing and, frankly, sickening.
You are 100% correct. To a Leftist the value of an individual life is less important than the benefit to the Collective Good (whatever their elites designate that to be). However, they have been told that they are struggling for individual freedom all the while accepting laws and governments that push the power of the state over the individual. They are too indoctrinated by Cultural Marxism to see how they support the very ideas and institutions that are against true liberty for the individual.
Well said. Your debating opponent clearly has the totalitarian streak that infects the Left. I admire your stance on the death penalty. In my case, I'm pro-choice on abortions, but I do not demonize those who are pro-life: I believe they also have a good moral case to make. Demonizing one's opponent just to avoid listening is the *worst* crime (demonizing while also listening; well, that's just sport:) ).
Furthermorre, you rail against Texas but make no mention of California's murder of unborn children. The criminals made a choice to commit their crime - in horrific cases the State of Texas believes that capital punishment is appropriate. You want to foist your values on them, which is why you object. However, in the case of a human child/embryo it has no choice and no voice - yet perhaps you are happy for *millions* of murders to be carried out just so the mother can continue her lustful lifestyle? Actually, I'm pro-choice, but it cannot be denied that is also legitimizes murder of defenceless human beings - the difference is I don't judge the Texans for their decision on how they deal with the criminals. That's the problem with young leftists, they believe in all diversities except the one that really matters - diversity of opinion. Learn to accept that perhaps the Texan's opinions and choices are as valid as yours - to argue for enforcing your agenda on them shows the typical totalitarian streak of the political Left.
I'm afraid Cruz is right. You are under the influence of Cultural Marxism and don't even know how you are being manipulated. Please do some homework. Look for the "Cultural Marxism" documentary on YouTube. Now you may agree withg Cultural Marxism (I don't) and you have the right to your opinion. What matters is that you understand that US (and Western) society is being manipulated according to its methods (from the ability to set discourse) and the compliance of the media. Once you look behind the veil you will understand that Cruz is 100% right. You don't have to agree with him (although he's *extremely* smart) but perhaps opening your mind and finding out *why* he makes those claims might make you a little smarter - to be nearly as smart as you probably think you are.
Lots of folks like to mis-characterize Texas and Texans, but as a foreigner they seem to be doing plenty of things right. Their state economy is not borked like California, they have low tax, they value individual rights more than overbearing 'nanny' governance, and they have good political leadership. Ted Cruz for Prez 2016 would not be a bad choice it seems - he's very smart and would stop the current rot in DC.
Please provide a counter survey to the Pew survey that disproves my statement. You are going on "what you think you know" about Islam, not on the facts. You think I want Islam to be evil? no, I don't. I wish it was about rainbows and unicorns and sitting around a camp fire singing Kumbaya. But the *reality* is it is not. It is about jihad, and war against kufr unbelievers until they are all subjugated into the Islamic political system (a work in progress), and killing of homosexuals (still practiced), and chopping off of hands and feet on opposite sides (still practiced), oppression of women (practiced), slavery (practiced in Sudan etc, will be brought back once the Islamists are strong enough), stoning of adulterers (still practiced), killing of those who are openly apostates or atheists (still practiced). Read the Qur'an, hadiths and sira yourself - it is all there for those that have understanding of what the phrases mean (eg. talk about "those that have gone astray" in the Muslim prayer is an insult Christians, there is a similar insult to Jews).
So stop going on what you *think* you know - and check out the facts from sources that aren't practicing taqiyya on you. Look translations of the statements that Muslims make for consumption by other Muslims. You will be horrified. So stop trying to defend this evil just because you are ignorant about the true nature of Islam.
Muslims (people) may or may not be moderate. Islam (a totalitarian political ideology) is not moderate. You are falling for a fallacy. Incidentally, a Pew survey a few weeks ago came up with figures that globally 25% of Muslims agree with jihad asghar (the violent one). That means that of the 1.5 billion Muslims around 400 million would happily kill you (thinking they go straight to paradise) if they got the chance. Who cares how many are moderate - it is the ones that are dangerous that you must work to defeat. You fall for another fallacy where you think that the actions we take can stop them, if we just surrender enough then it will all go away. This is ridiculous - they've been working toward global domination for 1400 years and won't stop just because we say nice things. Wake up foolish people!
Where do you think the moon crescent in the Islamic symbology came from? I agree that Islam is evil for the same reasons you do. I'm not an evangelical. Even if I was, that would not stop Islam being wrong or the origins of their religion being pagan (I was merely pointing this out - that many of their claims are simply *false*). So we can agree.
As I said, Il Illah is a title. In the time of Mohammed Il Illah was still a pagan moon god (hence the moon as the symbol of Islam). Mohammed claimed that the moon god Il Illah was the same as the god of abraham - but I've already pointed to a scriptural analysis that shows this is not possible (La Yumkin!). As Eastern Christians were subjugated under Islamic imperial rule as dhimmis they were forced (on pain of death) to translate God/Deus/Theos as Allah. However, the attributes of Allah as listed in Islamic texts were always counter to these enumerated in the Torah and Christian scripts. Allah cannot be YHWH !
Well, you can analyze it in any way you want, but since Islamic scriptures came much later, and built in the early Hebrew texts (especially the first 5 books of the OT), its pretty clear they started out as being the same deity. They just diverged.
Actually, you are merely repeating the false claim. Allah comes from Il illah, a moon god of the pagan Quresh who inhabited Mecca (this pagan origin is why the moon is the symbol of Islam; similarly Christ has a life story very similar to the Egyptian Horus - they are all bunk). Il Illah had three daughters. Mohammed made Il Illah his chief god and then *later* shoehorned that into the claim that this was the same as the God of Abraham. I've already given a site that compares the scriptures of Islam vs Judaism+Christianity. Just because it is *claimed* they are the same, does not name them the same - particularly when Allah is mentioned numerous times as "The Greatest of Deceivers" whereas YHWH cannot lie. They are fundamentally incompatible - in the sense that they are opposites (hence, Allah can be considered as a candidate for the Christian Satan, despite protestations otherwise).
So you can repeat your claim again that YHWH and Allah are the same, but it simply is not true. They have totally different origins and the claim of equivalence was added later by Mohammed (and rejected by the Jews, who also rejected Mohammed as a false prophet; which is why Muslims hate Jews to this day).
I don't get it. Why, if you're such a "free thinker," do you believe that Islamic texts are somehow "worse" than Christian or Judaic texts? If you doubt all religions, surely you must recognize that the same criticisms are true of all these.
I know you don't get it. That's why you struggle to understand how Islam is different to the others. You see, the other mythologies *were* just as bad, but have reformed. They are no less bullshit today, but they agree with separation of Church and State. No-one in the mainstream of these religions contests this. Furthermore, both of these assert no authority over non-believers.
Islam is very very much different because while it is also superstitious nonsense it claims to be the divine and unalterable word of Allah (who, as the sites I point out, *cannot* be the same as the God of Abraham, no matter what the Muslims claim). That means that there is no moderate Islam and there never will be. Everyone who talks about "moderate Islam" is simply revealing they don't know even the basics about Islamic doctrine. The other aspect of Islam, and this is what makes it worse than the others, is that it is a totalitarian *political* system. There is no separation of mosque from state and there cannot ever be (temporarily, yes; permanently, no). Because Islam is a political system it asserts that it has the right to impose its system over non-Muslims as well as Muslims. I bet you didn't understand this aspect of Islam. Why? because the mainstream media is either clueless to this fact, or they don't report on it. Go ahead for yourself and look at Sura 9:5 and 9:29. These Sura "abrogate" (that is, replace) all the peaceful verses in the Koran. This abrogation is why Islam claims to be a "progressively revealed" religion. As time goes on in the West (and even still in Islamic countries) we are seeing more and more of the Islamic system (under Sharia) revealed as time goes on. This is called the "Milestones process" (something from core Islamic doctrine - and very very well explained by Major Stephen Coughlin on YouTube - whose job it was to understand Islam).
Look, you would like to believe that Islam is being mistaken and really is a "religion of peace" as the taqiyya-practicing apologists claim. I would like Islam to be a religion of peace too. The fact is, it simply isn't. It is a totalitarian theocratic political system that disguises itself on purpose - but intends the subjugation of the whole World under the Islamic political system and Sharia (their barbaric law). It is the goal of every Muslim to bring this about, sooner or later.
yes, I know this is hard for you to swallow, because it is incomprehensible that Islam is that bad. But it really is. The reason I hate the political ideology is not because I don't understand it - it is because I understand it very very well. Note also that when the media use the word "extremists" they are lying to you (because Muslim advisors lie to the media). The jihadis are practicing "mainstream" Islam - there is nothing extreme about their interpretation of Islam at all. After 9/11 the US Pentagon realised it knew virtually nothing about Islam, so they set to work to study it so as to find out why Al Qaeda has twisted the religion for evil. You know what they found? That Al Qaeda had mis-interpreted nothing, they were truer to the doctrine of Islam than most Muslims. As the Turkish Prime Minister famously said a few years back (I'm paraphrasing), "There are moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam".
So, we can agree that the Torah and Bible contain much badness. Fortunately its practitioners follow them as personal faiths and stay their commandments are not used to set policy. You are also free to point out the shortcomings in these faiths. I hope I have now explained to you how Islam is *very* different. Its *explicitly* stated aim is first to take over states and then the whole world - and subjugate Muslims and non-Muslims alike to its political system. Can you se
Thanks for the story. I'm sure Arthur C Clarke got the idea of the (alleged) power of God's name from Judaism. Anyone who knows anything about Judaism knows this (although that is becoming increasingly rarer in the West as it progressively comes more 'Judenrein' [Jew free] as the Jews flee persecution today [eg. Arab countries are becoming more and more jew and Christian free as time goes on; all the Jews have left Norway due to Muslim immigrant persecution and the fact the native Norwegians are too politically correct/weak to stand up and stop it], etc.).
Except that they both use the same original scriptures.
Again, this is another claim of Islam that simply is not true. There are *numerous* differences between Islam and the Torah & Christianity. The evil warlord Mohammed used Arian Christian heretics to base some of the superstiton in the Qur'an on - but these guys plagiarized several *major* things incorrectly. Here, please allow me to enlighten you with numerous additional sources that show that the Qur'an is not the direct and eternal word of God (another bold yet provably false claim, even when you don't consider the Sa'ana Qur'an), because it is plagarised from material written 500 - 1000 years earlier, gets it wrong, and then throws in a bunch of anti-scientific stuff to boot (that is, modern science *proves* statements in the Qur'an to be *false* - its claim to be *perfect* is simply rubbish): http://www.1000mistakes.com/1000mistakes/index.php?Page=007_003_001_001 http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/quran/ http://www.wikiislam.net/wiki/Main_Page
Now, you can choose to believe in an anti-scientific falsehood if you like. I'd rather not. It is clear that Islam makes many claims. Upon close examination those claims are *simply not true*. You can deny the sources I've given, but that is simply denial of reality because you would rather cling to the lie of the mythology you were born into. Making that choice is perfectly valid, (although stupid in the 21st Century, IMHO) - you just have to understand that you are choosing to deny all the evidence that shows the various claims of your superstition as false. Fortunately, as the wikiislam site shows, many people are realising the falsehood of religions and choosing to live a Free People (not slaves under Islam) and having to be virtuous because they want to be - not because they fear the nightmares of Bronze Age desert barbarians.
Thanks for the information. My understanding is that devout Jews will not say the name YHWH as they see it as being sacred and it is profane to use it. Hence they use terms like "Ha Shem" == The Name, Adonai == Lord, Melek Ha Olam == King of the World etc. Sorry, my Hebrew is very poor. The take-away is that the ancient Hebrews would use substitutes instead of invoking the personal name of God. In contrast, Islam uses the word "Allah", which comes from "il illah", "The (One) God", which is a title and not a personal name.
Also note that despite the claims of the Muslims that Allah is the God of Abraham, this claim must be false when scriptures are compared. See the following for such a comparison, which concludes based on Islamic sources that Allah and YHWH cannot be be same (in fact, Allah has the *opposite* attributes of YHWH, read into that what you will):
http://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/god.htm
Similarly, when scripture is compared the Islamic "Mehdi" pretty much has the characteristics given of a Christian Anti-Christ (there is more than one, this one just happens to be the one most detailed in Revelations). I'm an atheist so "have no skin in the game", I'm just giving a comparison of mythologies since that comparison is not known even to most religious and educated people.
Snooping on Fox News, Associated Press, conservative and Jewish groups are only one part of what the Obama regime is going (yes, I can provide citations, or you could just head over to Breitbart to get the facts yourself). The Feds also are running "Operation Vigilant Eagle" which is snooping on veterans returning from serving overseas. You might think such a programme would look to see whether such veterans were influenced by the jihadist enemy and pose a danger to US society - but this is not the purpose of the programme. The purpose is to look for disgruntled vets that oppose the current Obama regime. In fact, a Marine was thrown in jail for comments and poems pasted on Facebook (no First Amendment rights for Marines under the Obama Administration). Fortunately a circuit court judge found out about it and freed him.
Stop listening to what the Obama regime is saying (because it is clear they continually lie), and actually what the facts of what they do. The Obama Administration is prepared to snoop illegally on the press, jail returned servicemen for poems, abandon allies all over the world, promise to give Russia the performance characteristics of the US anti-ballistic missile defenses, run Fast n Furious giving guns to Mexican drug cartels, refuse to secure the southern border, invite the Muslim Brotherhood into positions of policy decision making in the Administration, abandon their own Ambassador in Benghazi when the State Department gave Stinger missiles to Al Qaeda in Libya (despite the CIA telling them not to - which is why Petraeus' affair was used against him), etc etc.
If Obama, Clinton and their Administration were prepared to do all these things to important people they should be defending, just how much effort will they spend to defend a US or foreign citizen? [Answer: less than none - they'll sell you out and then lie their face off about it]
Start reading folks:

The US Government and most of the mainstream media are lying to you (Fox is targeted because it tells the truth more often than the others - and the Obama Administration cannot have the truth known - the free people would revolt if they became aware of what is going on).
You simply aren't playing games that need as many cycles as you can get, but they do exist. Simulations like DCS:Word, DCS:A-10C, DCS:Ka-50 all need a large amount of graphics power when you are at altitude. The Armed Assault III simulator also makes a lot of use of your CPU and GPU, since you are running around maps that are much bigger than the postage-stamp sizes of most games (eg the pitiful maps on the Call of Duty and Battlefield series).
I'd suggest checking those games out. They may not be your thing (and it sounds like you don't have the hardware to run them well anyway) but for many (usually older) people simulations are far better than some made up 'cartoonish' games. Those simulations need every resource they can get.
Yes, but C & C++ have buffer overruns and all sorts of nasties. C & C++ are for desktop apps and rarely used for web apps. Java dominates the enterprise web space. The problem here is not Java (desktop) application nor web application (the server-side stuff of what you see in your browser), but in the Java applet plug-in (which is something else entirely). C & C++ simply aren't used by the majority of enterprises for web apps because they would be *even worse* than Java for security vulnerabilities (plus productivity is lower, which costs money).
Lol. Another fail! I'm partially of native minority race of a non-US country. It's so funny to watch you. You have *zero* facts, and the statements you make are trivially debunked (as I have done). So, lacking anything else you make show your true colors as an anti-white racist. Funny thing is, I'm part native. What a loser you are. Like I said, you clearly have below average IQ. If only you would understand this you might listen long enough to learn some facts from people who know (instead of the insane falsehoods you splurt out, eg. the utterly counter-factual stupidity you displayed about Iranian missiles). No wonder you are so angry with the World, you haven't yet worked out that the problem local problem is your attitude. Chill bro.
Are you sure you didn't mistake me replying to someone else's text? I have no plans for a progrom - so stop the slander. And yes, people are friending me and replying all the time - people can see you trying to excuse the weapons that Hezbollah and Iran intend to use in their *stated* genocidal plans. Just give up, you have failed (although you can't seem to grok that no matter how many facts I present to you).
But yes, we need to defend our *existing* laws/Constitutions and values; kinetic action is only needed for those no laws can't reach [eg. the increasing incidents of violent immigrants who refuse to recognize the judiciary and sovereignty of the countries they move to].
No that quoted hate text was from you from the post directly above it so that's an especially stupid lie.
No you fool, I have never ever advocated putting Muslims in camps. It is a disgusting and repulsive idea. It is clear either you are incompetent and misattributing (very likely) or you are in the business of fabricating (a typical tactic of low-intelligence leftists, which all evidence points you to being). Stop with the false slander. If we were in the same country you would be slapped with a lawsuit because of your falsehoods - yes, I *know* I have never advocated putting Muslims in camps. So stop being evil. Then end does not justify the means (only socialists, communists and Islamists seem to think that).
Also the missile question is mindless since they come from very different sources and are of very different ages - incompatibility you idiot - it's not like loading a.303 cartridge into a gun of the same size. Unless you mean the other ridiculous thing with no range, payload size, type of missile and a few other unknowns that you were bluffing with since neither of us have a clue what a "single nuclear device" weighs.
Absolute bullshit. Warheads can be adapted for different missiles you idiot. Man alive you are stupid! The reason why cartridges don't work in different guns is that it is not generally worth the effort to re-bore a firearm. Warheads and other complex missile components are routinely re-engineered for different systems. For example, the Harpoon anti-ship missile was re-engineered into the SLAM, a surface-attack missile. Nuclear warheads get migrated to different bodies all the time. The nuclear cores are reprocessed and can be used to build new warheads.
Unless you mean the other ridiculous thing with no range, payload size, type of missile and a few other unknowns that you were bluffing with since neither of us have a clue what a "single nuclear device" weighs.
You couldn't answer. In fact, you are so stupid you couldn't even google to find out simple things like this: http://missilethreat.com/missiles-of-the-world/
Look at all the huge payloads on the Iranian missiles. Plus, for the short ranges from Lebanon to Israel you can increase the throw weight hugely. To bad wikipedia is too complicated for you to use. Otherwise you would have discovered that Iran has already supplied "hundreds" of M-600 ballistic missiles and attempted to supply Fatah-110 missiles to Hezbollah (fortunately the Israelis are busy destroying the WMD platforms to the racist genocide against Israelis you desperately want to support cannot be carried out): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fateh-110
since neither of us have a clue what a "single nuclear device" weighs.
You lose again. The mass of the US M62 170 kiloton-yield MIRV warhead is 253 pounds / 115 kg. The mass of a M56 is 600 pounds / 272 kg and has a yield of 1.2 MT. So if you follow the references I gave you will see that the Iranian missiles can easily carry even a crude nuclear warhead to Israel. Notice also the range of the Shahab-3. With smaller warheads the two dozen Iranian missiles based in Venezuela may be able to hit the southern USA.
I gave you a chance to prove you knew anything at all, or could even work Google and wikipedia. But you can't. I've also destroyed your arguments about "old Iranian missiles" being used by Hezbollah not being able to reach Israel with a nuclear weapon. All your arguments have failed (as in other threats), because they are based on your opinion and not on facts (and it turns out your opinions are formed from your weak lines of reasoning; trying to assert that nuclear warheads would not fit on on different missile bodies based on an analogy of a rifle - how stooopid is that!). Your apologies for the genocidal inten
Your nazi shit about putting all Muslims in camps so they can be watched to find that minority of criminals comes to mind.
I have never, ever said that. You are slandering me with made up shit.
What is most amusing is when you called me racist when I quoted your own terrible words right back at you with only the name of the group to be picked on changed, and that was right after some text saying that was purely to illustrate how disgusting the things you are calling for are - and there is no way you could possibly be so stupid as to miss that yet you pretend to be since it was more convenient to so so. Calling me racist for throwing your own words back at you? Clearly you have no shame and anything goes since you've gone into full wartime propaganda mode. If you're going to shove such white supremacy bullshit in my face I'm not going to keep quiet and let you corrupt the gullible here with your slime.
The funny thing is that the quote you posted was from someone else, not me. But you are so retarded you didn't even notice you had made this mistake.
So, can you answer my question about the missiles? since you made three false statements about them.

These Sura "abrogate" (that is, replace) all the peaceful verses in the Koran. This abrogation is why Islam claims to be a "progressively revealed" religion. As time goes on in the West (and even still in Islamic countries) we are seeing more and more of the Islamic system (under Sharia) revealed as time goes on. This is called the "Milestones process" (something from core Islamic doctrine - and very very well explained by Major Stephen Coughlin on YouTube - whose job it was to understand Islam).
Look, you would like to believe that Islam is being mistaken and really is a "religion of peace" as the taqiyya-practicing apologists claim. I would like Islam to be a religion of peace too. The fact is, it simply isn't. It is a totalitarian theocratic political system that disguises itself on purpose - but intends the subjugation of the whole World under the Islamic political system and Sharia (their barbaric law). It is the goal of every Muslim to bring this about, sooner or later.
yes, I know this is hard for you to swallow, because it is incomprehensible that Islam is that bad. But it really is. The reason I hate the political ideology is not because I don't understand it - it is because I understand it very very well. Note also that when the media use the word "extremists" they are lying to you (because Muslim advisors lie to the media). The jihadis are practicing "mainstream" Islam - there is nothing extreme about their interpretation of Islam at all. After 9/11 the US Pentagon realised it knew virtually nothing about Islam, so they set to work to study it so as to find out why Al Qaeda has twisted the religion for evil. You know what they found? That Al Qaeda had mis-interpreted nothing, they were truer to the doctrine of Islam than most Muslims. As the Turkish Prime Minister famously said a few years back (I'm paraphrasing), "There are moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam".
So, we can agree that the Torah and Bible contain much badness. Fortunately its practitioners follow them as personal faiths and stay their commandments are not used to set policy. You are also free to point out the shortcomings in these faiths. I hope I have now explained to you how Islam is *very* different. Its *explicitly* stated aim is first to take over states and then the whole world - and subjugate Muslims and non-Muslims alike to its political system. Can you se
Thanks for the story. I'm sure Arthur C Clarke got the idea of the (alleged) power of God's name from Judaism. Anyone who knows anything about Judaism knows this (although that is becoming increasingly rarer in the West as it progressively comes more 'Judenrein' [Jew free] as the Jews flee persecution today [eg. Arab countries are becoming more and more jew and Christian free as time goes on; all the Jews have left Norway due to Muslim immigrant persecution and the fact the native Norwegians are too politically correct/weak to stand up and stop it], etc.).
Except that they both use the same original scriptures.
Again, this is another claim of Islam that simply is not true. There are *numerous* differences between Islam and the Torah & Christianity. The evil warlord Mohammed used Arian Christian heretics to base some of the superstiton in the Qur'an on - but these guys plagiarized several *major* things incorrectly. Here, please allow me to enlighten you with numerous additional sources that show that the Qur'an is not the direct and eternal word of God (another bold yet provably false claim, even when you don't consider the Sa'ana Qur'an), because it is plagarised from material written 500 - 1000 years earlier, gets it wrong, and then throws in a bunch of anti-scientific stuff to boot (that is, modern science *proves* statements in the Qur'an to be *false* - its claim to be *perfect* is simply rubbish):

Now, you can choose to believe in an anti-scientific falsehood if you like. I'd rather not. It is clear that Islam makes many claims. Upon close examination those claims are *simply not true*. You can deny the sources I've given, but that is simply denial of reality because you would rather cling to the lie of the mythology you were born into. Making that choice is perfectly valid, (although stupid in the 21st Century, IMHO) - you just have to understand that you are choosing to deny all the evidence that shows the various claims of your superstition as false. Fortunately, as the wikiislam site shows, many people are realising the falsehood of religions and choosing to live a Free People (not slaves under Islam) and having to be virtuous because they want to be - not because they fear the nightmares of Bronze Age desert barbarians.
Thanks for the information. My understanding is that devout Jews will not say the name YHWH as they see it as being sacred and it is profane to use it. Hence they use terms like "Ha Shem" == The Name, Adonai == Lord, Melek Ha Olam == King of the World etc. Sorry, my Hebrew is very poor. The take-away is that the ancient Hebrews would use substitutes instead of invoking the personal name of God. In contrast, Islam uses the word "Allah", which comes from "il illah", "The (One) God", which is a title and not a personal name.
Also note that despite the claims of the Muslims that Allah is the God of Abraham, this claim must be false when scriptures are compared. See the following for such a comparison, which concludes based on Islamic sources that Allah and YHWH cannot be be same (in fact, Allah has the *opposite* attributes of YHWH, read into that what you will): http://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/god.htm
Similarly, when scripture is compared the Islamic "Mehdi" pretty much has the characteristics given of a Christian Anti-Christ (there is more than one, this one just happens to be the one most detailed in Revelations). I'm an atheist so "have no skin in the game", I'm just giving a comparison of mythologies since that comparison is not known even to most religious and educated people.
Snooping on Fox News, Associated Press, conservative and Jewish groups are only one part of what the Obama regime is going (yes, I can provide citations, or you could just head over to Breitbart to get the facts yourself). The Feds also are running "Operation Vigilant Eagle" which is snooping on veterans returning from serving overseas. You might think such a programme would look to see whether such veterans were influenced by the jihadist enemy and pose a danger to US society - but this is not the purpose of the programme. The purpose is to look for disgruntled vets that oppose the current Obama regime. In fact, a Marine was thrown in jail for comments and poems pasted on Facebook (no First Amendment rights for Marines under the Obama Administration). Fortunately a circuit court judge found out about it and freed him.
Stop listening to what the Obama regime is saying (because it is clear they continually lie), and actually what the facts of what they do. The Obama Administration is prepared to snoop illegally on the press, jail returned servicemen for poems, abandon allies all over the world, promise to give Russia the performance characteristics of the US anti-ballistic missile defenses, run Fast n Furious giving guns to Mexican drug cartels, refuse to secure the southern border, invite the Muslim Brotherhood into positions of policy decision making in the Administration, abandon their own Ambassador in Benghazi when the State Department gave Stinger missiles to Al Qaeda in Libya (despite the CIA telling them not to - which is why Petraeus' affair was used against him), etc etc.
If Obama, Clinton and their Administration were prepared to do all these things to important people they should be defending, just how much effort will they spend to defend a US or foreign citizen? [Answer: less than none - they'll sell you out and then lie their face off about it]
Start reading folks:
The US Government and most of the mainstream media are lying to you (Fox is targeted because it tells the truth more often than the others - and the Obama Administration cannot have the truth known - the free people would revolt if they became aware of what is going on).
The key part in the statement is the:
"games I own"
You simply aren't playing games that need as many cycles as you can get, but they do exist. Simulations like DCS :Word, DCS:A-10C, DCS:Ka-50 all need a large amount of graphics power when you are at altitude. The Armed Assault III simulator also makes a lot of use of your CPU and GPU, since you are running around maps that are much bigger than the postage-stamp sizes of most games (eg the pitiful maps on the Call of Duty and Battlefield series).
I'd suggest checking those games out. They may not be your thing (and it sounds like you don't have the hardware to run them well anyway) but for many (usually older) people simulations are far better than some made up 'cartoonish' games. Those simulations need every resource they can get.
Sorry, from your response it is very clear you are a racist.
Yes, but C & C++ have buffer overruns and all sorts of nasties. C & C++ are for desktop apps and rarely used for web apps. Java dominates the enterprise web space. The problem here is not Java (desktop) application nor web application (the server-side stuff of what you see in your browser), but in the Java applet plug-in (which is something else entirely). C & C++ simply aren't used by the majority of enterprises for web apps because they would be *even worse* than Java for security vulnerabilities (plus productivity is lower, which costs money).
Lol. Another fail! I'm partially of native minority race of a non-US country. It's so funny to watch you. You have *zero* facts, and the statements you make are trivially debunked (as I have done). So, lacking anything else you make show your true colors as an anti-white racist. Funny thing is, I'm part native. What a loser you are. Like I said, you clearly have below average IQ. If only you would understand this you might listen long enough to learn some facts from people who know (instead of the insane falsehoods you splurt out, eg. the utterly counter-factual stupidity you displayed about Iranian missiles). No wonder you are so angry with the World, you haven't yet worked out that the problem local problem is your attitude. Chill bro.
Are you sure you didn't mistake me replying to someone else's text? I have no plans for a progrom - so stop the slander. And yes, people are friending me and replying all the time - people can see you trying to excuse the weapons that Hezbollah and Iran intend to use in their *stated* genocidal plans. Just give up, you have failed (although you can't seem to grok that no matter how many facts I present to you).
Lol. very good.
But yes, we need to defend our *existing* laws/Constitutions and values; kinetic action is only needed for those no laws can't reach [eg. the increasing incidents of violent immigrants who refuse to recognize the judiciary and sovereignty of the countries they move to].
No that quoted hate text was from you from the post directly above it so that's an especially stupid lie.
No you fool, I have never ever advocated putting Muslims in camps. It is a disgusting and repulsive idea. It is clear either you are incompetent and misattributing (very likely) or you are in the business of fabricating (a typical tactic of low-intelligence leftists, which all evidence points you to being). Stop with the false slander. If we were in the same country you would be slapped with a lawsuit because of your falsehoods - yes, I *know* I have never advocated putting Muslims in camps. So stop being evil. Then end does not justify the means (only socialists, communists and Islamists seem to think that).
Also the missile question is mindless since they come from very different sources and are of very different ages - incompatibility you idiot - it's not like loading a .303 cartridge into a gun of the same size. Unless you mean the other ridiculous thing with no range, payload size, type of missile and a few other unknowns that you were bluffing with since neither of us have a clue what a "single nuclear device" weighs.
Absolute bullshit. Warheads can be adapted for different missiles you idiot. Man alive you are stupid! The reason why cartridges don't work in different guns is that it is not generally worth the effort to re-bore a firearm. Warheads and other complex missile components are routinely re-engineered for different systems. For example, the Harpoon anti-ship missile was re-engineered into the SLAM, a surface-attack missile. Nuclear warheads get migrated to different bodies all the time. The nuclear cores are reprocessed and can be used to build new warheads.
Unless you mean the other ridiculous thing with no range, payload size, type of missile and a few other unknowns that you were bluffing with since neither of us have a clue what a "single nuclear device" weighs.
You couldn't answer. In fact, you are so stupid you couldn't even google to find out simple things like this:
http://missilethreat.com/missiles-of-the-world/
Look at all the huge payloads on the Iranian missiles. Plus, for the short ranges from Lebanon to Israel you can increase the throw weight hugely. To bad wikipedia is too complicated for you to use. Otherwise you would have discovered that Iran has already supplied "hundreds" of M-600 ballistic missiles and attempted to supply Fatah-110 missiles to Hezbollah (fortunately the Israelis are busy destroying the WMD platforms to the racist genocide against Israelis you desperately want to support cannot be carried out):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fateh-110
since neither of us have a clue what a "single nuclear device" weighs.
You lose again. The mass of the US M62 170 kiloton-yield MIRV warhead is 253 pounds / 115 kg. The mass of a M56 is 600 pounds / 272 kg and has a yield of 1.2 MT. So if you follow the references I gave you will see that the Iranian missiles can easily carry even a crude nuclear warhead to Israel. Notice also the range of the Shahab-3. With smaller warheads the two dozen Iranian missiles based in Venezuela may be able to hit the southern USA.
I gave you a chance to prove you knew anything at all, or could even work Google and wikipedia. But you can't. I've also destroyed your arguments about "old Iranian missiles" being used by Hezbollah not being able to reach Israel with a nuclear weapon. All your arguments have failed (as in other threats), because they are based on your opinion and not on facts (and it turns out your opinions are formed from your weak lines of reasoning; trying to assert that nuclear warheads would not fit on on different missile bodies based on an analogy of a rifle - how stooopid is that!). Your apologies for the genocidal inten
Your nazi shit about putting all Muslims in camps so they can be watched to find that minority of criminals comes to mind.
I have never, ever said that. You are slandering me with made up shit.
What is most amusing is when you called me racist when I quoted your own terrible words right back at you with only the name of the group to be picked on changed, and that was right after some text saying that was purely to illustrate how disgusting the things you are calling for are - and there is no way you could possibly be so stupid as to miss that yet you pretend to be since it was more convenient to so so. Calling me racist for throwing your own words back at you? Clearly you have no shame and anything goes since you've gone into full wartime propaganda mode. If you're going to shove such white supremacy bullshit in my face I'm not going to keep quiet and let you corrupt the gullible here with your slime.
The funny thing is that the quote you posted was from someone else, not me. But you are so retarded you didn't even notice you had made this mistake.
So, can you answer my question about the missiles? since you made three false statements about them.
