Oh you left some stuff out.. like the fact that the original translation came from a official source:
The translation presented by the official Islamic Republic News Agency has been challenged by Arash Norouzi, who says the statement "wiped off the map" was never made and that Ahmadinejad did not refer to the nation or land mass of Israel, but to the "regime occupying Jerusalem". Norouzi translated the original Persian to English, with the result, "the Imam said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time."
The Islamic Republic News Agency is :
The Islamic Republic News Agency (Persian: ), or IRNA, is the official news agency of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
How did the OFFICIAL IRANIAN NEWS CHANNEL screw that up so badly? If I was a despotic leader, and my minions misquoted me badly enough to almost get my country kicked out of the UN, I think Id be pretty upset. Anyways you don't think erasing from the pages of history sounds pretty threatening?
Or you left of stuff like this:
In a June 11, 2006 analysis of the translation controversy, New York Times editor Ethan Bronner stated:
[T]ranslators in Tehran who work for the president's office and the foreign ministry disagree with them. All official translations of Mr. Ahmadinejad's statement, including a description of it on his website, refer to wiping Israel away. Sohrab Mahdavi, one of Iran’s most prominent translators, and Siamak Namazi, managing director of a Tehran consulting firm, who is bilingual, both say “wipe off” or “wipe away” is more accurate than "vanish" because the Persian verb is active and transitive.
So Zionism is extremist because its your personal opinion? Don't state it as fact, cause without evidence, its a lie.
Cite a reputable source for a mistranslation, or your lying. I showed you how he admits those were his words, I showed you how others that speak the language spoke out against it. Show me something to prove me and my sources wrong, or your a LIAR.
That's the end all be all of it. You refuse to provide any facts to back up your OPINION. See my sig if you need help.
Nothing there says they are an extreme movement similar to apartheid.
I will not ignore your posts while you continue to bullshit. I will show you the sources that prove you are wrong. That way at the very least your lies don't muddy the water.
I'm not saying that Israel has treated the Palestinians fairly, I'm not saying that they haven't been assholes at times. I'm saying that there cannot be an intelligent discussion about the subject if we have lies being thrown around.
* a policy for establishing and developing a national homeland for Jews in Palestine
* a movement of world Jewry that arose late in the 19th century with the aim of creating a Jewish state in Palestine
Zionism (Hebrew: , Tsiyonut) is a Jewish political movement that, in its broadest sense, has supported the self-determination of the Jewish people in a sovereign Jewish national homeland.[1] Since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Zionist movement continues primarily to advocate on behalf of the Jewish state and address threats to its continued existence and security. In a less common usage, the term may also refer to 1) non-political, Cultural Zionism, founded and represented most prominently by Ahad Ha'am; and 2) political support for the State of Israel by non-Jews, as in Christian Zionism.

No? If you read my sources you will see stuff like this...
BBC...
Iran's president has defended his widely criticised call for Israel to be "wiped off the map".
Attending an anti-Israel rally in Tehran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said his remarks were "just" - and the criticism did not "have any validity".
Hes not claiming he was mistranslated...
Washington post..
Most Arab countries have no diplomatic relations with Israel. But the Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, said, according to the Associated Press: "We have recognized the state of Israel and we are pursuing a peace process with Israel, and . . . we do not accept the statements of the president of Iran. This is unacceptable."
Are you saying the Palestinians mistranslated him? You'd think they'd be able to get a good translation there.
Your WRONG! He said it, he admits it. The Palestinians even told him he shouldn't have said it.
They also contain mercury, a fact that causes no small amount of concern in light of how dangerous that substance is. Yet the amount housed in each bulb is very small, about 4 or 5 milligrams, which in volume is about the size of the period at the end of a sentence. (By comparison, old-style mercury thermometers contain about 500 milligrams of mercury, an amount equal to the mercury found in 125 CFL bulbs.) And, provided the bulbs aren't broken open, none of that leaches into the home.
Therefore, although CFLs contain much more mercury than fish, fish pose a greater danger of exposing us to mercury because we eat the fish.
The damn battery in your watch contains more mercury then a CFL. I'm also willing to bed more mercury gets released into the atmosphere by the burning of coal to power your incandescent then the breaking of my CFL. Way to externalize the costs there buddy.
Or there is the fact that if everyone replaced one incandescent bulb in their house it would equal removing hundreds of thousands of cars from the road.
Coal-fired power plants emit mercury into the air as part of the electricity-producing process. These plants account for 40 percent of all the mercury released into our environment [source: GE]

Hope the government didn't buy your encrypted rfid from the same companies that make full body scanners. Cause those don't work.
Frankly how do you encrypt one way traffic? RFID says 011010 Scammer hears 011010 Scammer uses 011010 Door opens. Im no security expert, but from what I understand all the rfid says is open sesame, with out some more sophisticated electronics in the badge, which would require a battery, how do you use "encrypted" communications with it.
As long as during that time the accused isn't punished beyond what is necessary.
What I mean by necessary punishment is custody, and that pretty much it.
Hes been locked up in solitary confinement, made to sleep without clothing, not allowed to exercise, hes not allowed a sheet for his bed, or a pillow, prohibited from possessing any personal items, like letters or pictures.
This is psychological torutre. Im surprised they are letting him sleep. Hell even the country that started off the whole shebang in the middle east, Tunisia, promised to not use solitary confinement for more then ten days. That was in 2005. If a country corrupt enough to be overthrown by their own citizens, treats their prisoners better then we treat ours, then something is seriously messed up..
That's not what hes talking about.. why would he suggest this?
maybe some 3rd party group could pull it off by making their own motherboards with one possessor from each
That quote makes no sense if he was talking about a cpd/gpu combo. He is obviously talking about two different processors on the same motherboard. If it was what he was talking about, he should have at least capitalized the name "Fusion".
Thats right folks, you heard it here. If you cant afford to purchase the educational tv from the store, in a nicely put together three disc set, you shouldn't be allowed to watch it. Your kindness is so generous m'lord.
I think you don't like it cause it doesn't spout fud like fox news.
Well... we do... but the Republicans are trying to put a stop to that too. I mean, who needs educational tv... if it isn't something an advertiser would pay for, it must be no good right?
I take it you've read it, but never comprehended it.
In the story you mention, patents are seized and fair market value is not payed. The patents in the book were being used to make a product, in fact Reardon was making as much as he could sell. In this situation no one is making it, and most likely any eminent domain take over of patents would be compensated. Shit in the business run government we have it would A) Never happen and B) If it did happen the company would probably make some a lot of good money on it.
Perhaps one that overheated, and ate cd drives, then sony refused to fix the laptop even though it was under warranty.

At half a cent per stream (and 1.5m plays a month) they would make 75k a month A MONTH. That would be 900k a year. There really arn't that many artists that I think should receive 900k a year. The ones who do deserve that, will have no issues getting the 1.5 million plays a month.
Lol you had truancy officers? Shit, good thing my county didn't have those when I grew up. I thought that shit only worked in towns of like 200. I mean how is the truancy officer gonna find some 12 year olds out playing in the woods? Truancy Officers = Waste of money IMHO. Taking a kid to court for skipping school = Even bigger waste of money.
If the kid doesn't want to go, and you call the parent and they don't fix it.. then who gives a damn? Not me.
