Yeah, they always do that with flying machines, putting in some stupid narration and horrible music. Each one of those itty bitty fans have to be able to absorb about 7.5 horsepower. Your neighbors will be very unhappy.
Sounds very much like the present situation. You do see who is in the lead right now, right? Slow or fast, people are still very reactionary. The "system" depends on it to survive.
Please expand upon that. I'm curious as to what you think their motivation is if it isn't ideological in nature or based on their religious belief?
Gee! You tell me! Abu Khaled, like other ISIS members, was paid $100 per month, in U.S. greenbacks, not Syrian lira, despite the latter being the coin of the realm in al-Bab. Currency exchange houses exist in the city where ISIS employees can take their salaries for conversion, although they scarcely need to, given the freebies that come with ISIS employment.
"I rented a house, which was paid for by ISIS," Abu Khaled told me. "It cost $50 per month. They paid for the house, the electricity. Plus, I was married, so I got an additional $50 per month for my wife. If you have kids, you get $35 for each. If you have parents, they pay $50 for each parent. This is a welfare state."
"This is why a lot of people are joining," said Abu Khaled. "I knew a mason who worked construction. He used to get 1,000 lira per day. That's nothing. Now he's joined ISIS and gets 35,000 lira—$100 for himself, $50 for his wife, $35 for his kids. He makes $600 to $700 per month. He gave up masonry. He's just a fighter now, but he joined for the income."
But then, there is trouble in paradise...Three years ago IS was paying several hundred dollars a month more than al-Qaeda and other rebel outfits.
And I hope you're getting paid for your work doing your little propaganda thingy here, too. I mean, after all, it is working for the most part. So, keep up the good work, I guess....
As far as the spying, Israel has 'em beat by far, but I'm sure more people believe you than me, so of course, you win the internet
While true, the real reason is money. Nobody works for free. And mercenaries are comparatively well paid. The angry ones work for cheap, but still, not free. When the great empires, in their competition for more turf, quit shipping them money and weapons everything will calm down very quickly. Either way, they should keep their proxy wars better contained.
Why does our society collectively feel so insecure about these people...?
Because there is big money in the fear industry. Regardless, everybody here is still on this religious angle, when the fact is that these people are nothing but paid mercenaries, and compared to regional wages, they are very well paid. So, please, we can drop the charade. This is business.
Yeah they had some stuff backwards. The point is that Argentina just relaxed currency controls and the value plummeted. The locals are already feeling the inflation. And the devaluation will make the price of imported goods go up, not down. Exports will be cheaper at the other end though. And yes, tourists get more bang for the buck. The problem is not whether they are socialist or not. The economies of any corrupt regime always suck. The difference between Argentina and Venezuela is a matter of degree, not category.

If people can vote for campaign "reform", they don't need it. They can vote for anything without it. We need voter reform..
That's bullshit. You can work the primaries. If you need money to get votes, you're doing it wrong.
You are full of it. You are not compelled to vote for bought politicians.
Or that I don't spend much time on computer games. And Pong can be played with two people.

Whatever happened to using good old dynamite to clear the obstruction?
What does it say about us who enjoy Solitaire and Pong?
Our government has failed the people.
Absolute fucking bullshit! The people have failed the government by letting it rot and not speaking up.
Why the redaction? Sounds bogus
mob mentality reactionary voting

Censorship is the legal problem. We technology to circumvent the problem.
It's kinda like a decentralized, private sit in. I suppose we could get people to do *by the book* work slowdowns.

Right outta Hitchcock
May I assume a reference book on the internet is only half as accurate?
Translation? Censorship.
I hope out hope that "new technology" will make it impossible.
There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
But I get to shoot you
Be sure to use "low carbon" smokeless gun powder in your bullets, otherwise you're part of the problem
Well, it was a nice travel junket, but I would do it in Germany, during Oktoberfest, with lots of barbequed bratwurst and sauerkraut.
Don't worry about Miami. They'll get their product, come hell or high water
