During Vietnam nearly all the enemy were communists which is atheist.
Except they weren't actually atheists, they were actually Buddhists. In fact like people everywhere most people in Communist countries never gave up their religion. Ho Chih Minh tried to ally his revolution in Vietnam with the US during Eisenhower, making itself an American-type democracy, if only the US would help kick out France, but Eisenhower refused. You're invoking ancient 3-generations old Cold War propaganda. You're just an idiot.
No, you can act like you have a brain and realize that since there's dozens of millions of times more Muslims who aren't these nut jobs, that it isn't being Muslim that's the defining factor. Though when you look at how Muslims have generally been treated by Americans, and before them the British, on the basis that they were Muslims (ie. not Christian, and not White), then it's actually impressive how few Muslims do become these nut jobs. Considering how good American Christians have had it, but how many Christian nut jobs there are driven by their churchy beliefs, Islam does look like a religion of peace, proportionally.
Yes: the bad guy is the religious nut. The merely religious, or people whose parents were religious, is not the "bad guy".
During Vietnam nearly all the enemy were Buddhists. Is Buddha the problem? Nearly all the American aggressors were Christians - Jesus the problem?
No. You're just singling out the most different from you, and therefore noticeable by you, characteristic of our enemy. Jihadists have more in common with Christian Dominionists than with other Muslims. It's religious fanaticism that's the enemy, not Islam per se.
Why wouldn't any reasonable person working at watchdog media trumpet the actions of the FBI when the FBI actions are crooked? Why wouldn't any reasonable person working at watchdog media remain tomb-quiet when the FBI is not crooked?
Router Model WHR-HP-GN Firmware Version DD-WRT v24SP2-EU-US (08/19/10) std - build 14998
I know how to flash the image. What I need to know is which OpenWRT or x-wrt version will work on the HW, and how to build the firmware image, including reliable source repos - or where to get a trustworthy, optimized binary for the HW.
The cop who maced those women was caught again on video spraying down people, including a cop, just down the street.
The cops are not strange dogs. You are defending the police. You don't deserve nice talk. You deserve much worse talk than that. But you're not getting any more talk of any kind from me. Out of towner, stop pretending you have New Yorker cred when you're just a pigfucker.
Look, your defending the bailouts as necessary is a strawman. I have defended them too. The lack of strings attached, the lack of criminal prosecutions or any other penalty or accountability for those responsible is what the demonstrators and I are angry about. Every post I repeat that, and you reply in every post with your strawman.
I took money to clean up after they had done their major ripoff, starting in 2009, thinking they couldn't be doing those heists any more. By 2010 I got out of the industry because they were still selling CDSes and no one was stopping them - or making them pay for what they did. I got a better paying job in the energy efficiency industry, which is as good as the bank work was bad.
So I am in a perfect position to wave a stick of righteousness in your face. Because your "opinions" are nonsense, and wrong. Because I have firsthand knowledge of the situation and my conscience is clear. Because you are a willfully ignorant fool who is defending with nonsense the worst crime of your lifetime, and instead attacking the people who are standing up to it.
Because voters and poll workers are too lazy and stupid to either use paper trails or demand vendors make them easy to use, they're better?
The use cases for bank records are completely different than for voting machines. Bank records mostly have to be re-read and updated fairly frequently (or even several times a day) for nearly every American throughout the year, while votes are counted once or twice per person - and only at most 1/3 of Americans. Failure of bank archives can be insured, but failure of votes creates irreparable harm.
There are many documented cases of voters being defrauded by interfering with voting systems that could have been prevented by paper trails. Further, "the consent of the governed" is the main value of voting, and non-paper systems have earned the deep distrust of many eligible voters, and earned the consequent deep distrust of the government and its elected officials.
It should be obvious to anyone who isn't retarded or totally corrupt that Bush/Cheney stole the 2000 election, including using these rigged voting machines. And the country has gone straight to hell since. Cheered along by the retarded and totally corrupt.
Which FOSS router OS/SW can I use to replace what's installed on an Astaro router? I stopped paying for the annual license so it stopped working, but the HW is just fine. Twin WAN, firewall, antivirus, internal VLANs, VPN... but closed and locked down. I'd still pay to subscribe to patches, but not on something that just disconnects from the networks when I'm late.
I looked into a Buffalo router that comes with DD-WRT preinstalled and Buffalo tech support. But the latest firmware is almost 2 years old. Surely there's been bugs and vulnerabilities in it found since then, but no patches.
There were no strings attached. The equity losses by shareholders in AIG and Lehman were strings attached by the market to their market actions. The bailout protected them all from further losses, and from lawsuits. The bailout that paid their debts protected the careers of the executives that made the decisions - and the huge money, including continuing bonuses. The same bankers have continued to damage the economy by continuing to sell the CDSes that ruined it, and continuing to speculate in commodities like oil, food (and precious metals, and anything else their retained money can buy).
The continuing lower-than-inflation (and negative, in places like Japan's money markets) interest rates aren't just "a little hairier". They're more proof that even you can't excuse.
There were no strings attached. Strings would have meant guaranteed amounts of new loans under stringent rules to targeted economic points, like hiring in strategic labor sectors. Such as the carmaker bailout, which should have been financed by the banks instead of also by the Treasury. The repayments of those loans would have given the banks more liquidity, more profits, and relieved the Federal budget of hundreds of $BILLIONS in debt the Republicans are using to shut down government operations every few months. Strings would have seen hundreds of bankers arrested and jailed, and swift trials jailing some for life by now. No strings.
But you said these demonstrators just oppose the bailout itself, not the failure of justice and administration, though there's no evidence for that statement. Now you're not even arguing about the demonstrators finding a distinction between the bailout and the impunity. You're just making handwaving excuses that are defeated by the most glaring reality.
There is a difference between cops and the general public. And here the difference is that the cops are violent, and the general public is not. This crowd is not lawless. The cops are. This violent, lawless cop is in charge of the cops. The people getting hurt are the people you are blaming, hurt by the cops, especially the leader of the cops. In the most basic, non-abstract, objectively true way.
You are just making the worst kind of false equivalence. Nothing you say is about the facts of this event. You are not interested in the facts, just in attacking the people. You are a liar.
They were on the sidewalk. And around Wall Street, especially in the afternoons, the streets are full of pedestrians and jaywalkers, as all over NYC. That doesn't provoke the police, and it certainly never should provoke mace.
You just stay in whatever province you found your own level instead of here and congratulate your local police on their iron fist. Here in NYC we demand better, though we usually don't get it.
How were those women who got maced egging on the cops? The cops who maced them just walked up to them and sprayed them, while they were not resisting being netted in like livestock.
The cop in question, Anthony Bologna, has a pending case from 2004 for abusing demonstrators at the Republican National Convention. Pending for 7 years, during which they have been running the NYPD division responsible for controlling public demonstrations.
It's perfectly clear that his approach to demonstrators he dislikes is not only violent, but is embraced by NYPD and Mayor Bloomberg.
Telling an idiot they're an idiot, and why, is not overreacting. You just disagree with me, because you like cops. And you just called me an ass, to completely undermine your argument.
You're right about fascism. But you're wrong about Mussolini's "memoirs". People who are hanged in public in the middle of a World War in which they were deposed while lead their country in the losing side don't write memoirs.
Yes, macing those women who were merely being corralled by other cops was really "lenient". Of course you don't want to bite the Wall Street hand that feeds you, Anonymous Coward. But why should we listen to you? Didn't you used to be Bush's press secretary?
And you know it's not interesting because... you never heard of it, and the BBC ran only a couple of obviously shallow articles about it. Which is why there's no stories about it in your media. That's a tautology. How can you know anything about what might be interesting about it?
When 1500 middle class people turn up for a week and a half to demonstrate against the financial system, especially if it's badly organized but still persists, that's an event. You might want professionally produced Tea Party simulations of popular movements, but this demonstration is what real people getting fed up with looks like.
And the cops attacking them for no good reason should be interesting to anyone.
When I look at the actual demonstrations I see that they're not complaining about the bailout itself as much as they're complaining there were no strings attached, or penalties for the people who caused the bailout to be necessary.
It was just cronies and golf buddies, and every pension in the country would have vanished without these bailouts.

OpenWRT is well supported with security update and bugfix patches?
So all the versions of openwrt and x-wrt are compatible with my Buffalo router HW?
