You are not free to impose your religion on me. That would be denying my freedom of religion. By enforcing the rules of your religion on the rest of us, you are effectively denying people of other religions their freedom.
(Please note, although I use the pronoun 'you' in the above comment, I am not necessarily speaking of your actions, it just flowed better when I phrased it that way.)
Freedom of religion means quite a lot to me. I'd really like to be free of that stupid religion about the Man with a beard who told us all to be nice to one another. If vilifying his followers is the best way to achieve that then I'm all for it.
(though I'm 99.999% sure that the Ten Commandments still apply)
So there's 1/10,000 of a commandment that doesn't apply any more? Which part no longer applies? I didn't realise that they were broken down into such fine divisions.
I supposed it's too much to expect someone who still believes in the sky fairy to be able to understand basic maths.
Hong Kong is at GMT+8 hours, Tokyo is at GMT+9 hours. So at 0008GMT you're at eight minutes past eight or nine in the morning in Hong Kong or Tokyo, respectively. Certainly 'morning' by most people's understanding of the word. I might suggest that you 'learn about time and how it's measured on this planet.'

Seriously, I can understand that there may be some situations where the use of ironic is debatable, but that usage must just be to troll us. They even spelled it 'Ironically', FFS.
Billions? We'd be lucky if there was a billion dollars "poored" into all research. Fusion researchers have been getting along with shoe laces and bubblegum.
You don't need revenge unless you're scared of someone. If you're not scared you can take some time to find a reasonable solution, but when you're scared you just lash out to get back at them.
Not all software is written for a wide enough audience to make it worthwhile writing code that will work with anything. You know that everyone using your software will have IE6 available, so you just write it to work with IE6. You aren't going to sell enough copies of it to recoup your costs of testing it in other environments.
Our soldiers are over there dick-waving because some guys who live in a desert were able to make us scared of them. I'm yet to be convinced that it's doing anything for our freedoms, other than making more Arabs mad and breeding the next generation of terrorists.
Dude, solar panels are flat, they could be hardened up if you're willing to take a hit on the efficiency, and then you could put them on stilts above the tents so you don't need any extra space.
These are all solvable problems. Of course, by not insisting on killing brown people on the other side of the world at once you'd solve them all at once, but I'd be willing to work towards a compromise solution.
Actually someone posted earlier that it costs $400/gallon to get fuel to the front lines. That's more like $10k a barrel. So even if we take half that just to get to the base, then even if you've been overly conservative in the number of people it's still a possibility.
I remember a while ago I was hanging out with a couple of mates listening to some music. American Pie came up and we all sang The Saga Begins to the tune, so then we played The Saga Begins and sang American Pie to it...

Never gonna give you up, never gonna exterminate?
As long as the gruesome passenger death follows all the proper TSA protocols and is done 'by the book' then I'm sure everyone will understand.
Qu'est que se?
Did you read his comment, or did you just scan for the word democrat so you could post your pre-compiled attack on the republicans?
I never understood why people complained about having coffee all over their keyboard... Now I know.
I think you should be offered a job as a /. editor. I actually understand it now, thanks!

I figured you were trying to be funny, but I went and reread both of them and you're right, the bticoin post is a lot easier to follow.
I /.'ed angry and made myself look stupid. Darn... :(
Perhaps not the only emotion, but it's definitely the major contributor. You only really get angry when you're scared.

Does it upset you so much when someone hold a different opinion than you?
Not in and of itself, but it does upset me when laws are passed based on opinions that I neither hold nor understand.
Spelling wasn't the right word for me to use there. My point is that the word they wanted is 'ironic'.
Hi there Mr. Troll,

They're shiny, people could see you and shoot at you.

Dang...
First one, then the others: at the same time!
