As someone who watches entirely too much Fox News, and completely misses the point by shoehorning my political ideology onto every single current event, whether it is related or not, I totally and completely agree with you.
> I will say it's odd how a lot of people who claim to be for more limited government tend to also be for giving government the ability to end a life.
right right. this is because they are 'hypocrites'.
Many of these also despise welfare, but yet somehow have no problem with corporate welfare in the form of useless R&D programs, etc. Or are opposed to 'pork barrel' spending, unless of course it benefits their state, county, etc.
Irrespective of your link, Hitler still didn't *like* jews, and wanted to 'be rid' of them somehow. So, whether he himself initiated the holocaust itself or not, this doesn't really change the argument that being held in a jewish jail would be punishment, and a form of 'poetic justice'.
By this logic, noone would ever have kids, because they would 'destroy their lives'.
Maybe they wanted to help their own child out by helping them raise their grandchild, until their own child was old enough to take proper responsibility for it?
But! But! But! Not being able to move popups makes it more like JQueryUI and therefore more AJAXY! and AJAXY == better. Especially AJAX + Web2.0 + Cloud + Touchscreen. That is waaay cooler.
Now I'm going to the mall to buy some all over print tees and multicolored sneakers from a national chain store to show everyone how individualistic I am.
He's not talking about UI design 'control' - he's talking about project control, and the fact that by-proxy, and by nature of being the primary desktop UI, what the gnome team (heavily sponsored by 'corporate linux') does, hugely impacts the entire linux ecosystem. and this group of people has proven themselves to be heavily unresponsive to complaints from the user community which popularize their product (aka a despot like situation)
But on the design side, I think you are wrong as well. Imho, the NeXT interface is the best UI design we have seen thus far for computers - which allows for huge user flexibility, but within a controlled domain.
Dunno why everyone is trying to reinvent the MS active desktop with all of these 'widgets' and 'tiles'.
In soviet russia, invasion of USA goes something like this:
6) Success!!! Celebrate with Vodka from Soviet Idaho Potatoes. 5) Gradually take possession of canada, california and then capture east coast for surrender 4) Shore up base in reclaimed soviet alaska. Pay off inuits with lots of beluga caviar, champagne and sexy blonde russian chicks if needed. 3) Transfer troops to alaska via beiring straight and via artcic ocean 2) Nuke major control centers in the lower 48 and block actions from hawaii via navy ships in pacific 1) Secretly mass large amounts of troops in siberia and northern coast of USSR
Why stop at 1882? Try going back to 634 AD... when the muslim conquest first started... Then make an attempt to see who's the bigger "threat".
Why stop at 634? Try going back to 67 AD... when the jewish uprising was first suppressed... Then make an attempt to see who's the bigger "threat".
etc etc etc babylonians, assyrians, egyptians, etc.
And it's not like 'all the jews completely left israel and suddenly the 1st one returned in 1882'.
I don't agree with many israeli policies - but you don't get to arbitrarily pick demarcation points in time as the basis of truth because it frames your argument in a positive light. The history as it relates to this issue goes back to the very beginnings of recorded history, and you cant discount any of it.
the only way forward is for both sides to move forward, together, in some form or fashion.
Have you ever actually heard anyone claim that anti-semitism is worse than racism directed at any other group, or is this comment just a mis-directed aim at doublespeak because your own perceptions are skewed?
Or perhaps you don't realize that even the term 'jew' is used in the perjorative, and so using 'anti-jew' would itself be offensive?
Also, you can be jewish but not a jew, a jew but not jewish, etc. so it is confusing.

You are so right! Because the Spanish and French and Greeks and Italians are totally in love with islamic states run by groups like Hamas that advocate violent resistance to western ideals and the constitutional imposition of sharia law for all citizens, and there is no historical evidence to the contrary. In fact, they have never conducted military operations in the levant or other predominantly muslim areas nor occupied any territory there!
Really? Well that's great. I guess it's not so bad then. As a moderate muslim arab palestenian living in gaza, how then can I move out of this war zone and into Israel proper? I was thinking about a nice condo in a new west bank settlement. Now that you've clarified this for me I am totally gung-ho about this Eretz Israel, 'secular yet somehow jewish state' thing and I totally want it to succeed.
Slashdot Mirror
Then why do you all keep moving there so much?
And what did the t-shirts say in gaza?
As for occupier:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquests
etc.
Noone is 'right' here. Both need to advocate peace and tolerance.
and 'this ethnic group is racist' is itself racist.
but I guess thats' why you posted as AC
disclaimer: I'm not advocating being a proponent of one side or the other here - but just that you need to look at the entirety of the events
Read the history of the region. Start from here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquests
or actually, start from here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_ancient_Egypt
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia
Its not like any of these groups ever completely left any of the areas.
But its much more fun to think of them like a chess board and make polarizing assertions isn't it?
> Fifty years? Read the Old Testament. Half of is about various kings tromping over one group or another.
And the 'various kings' are the same ones as now - egyptians, akkadians (iraq), assyrians (syria), etc.
But it's much easier to sell copy and pretend like there will be some 'resolution' all the while ignoring
these facts.
> Blame the British and the Balfour Declaration [un.org].
Really?
I didn't realize the Balfour declaration was a part of the Islamic conquest! Wow. learn something new every day.
If you want to look at history, look at all of it.
The war never stopped. It just took a rest long enough for a generation or two to forget that it was going on.
And, it would also be evident that your searches related to the game being played.
As someone who watches entirely too much Fox News, and completely misses the point by shoehorning my political ideology onto every single current event, whether it is related or not, I totally and completely agree with you.
take that, morons! +1

Clearly you are a softie on BadGuys(tm)!
I should shoot you with my gun!
only, my head is too buried in the sand to aim properly.
HALP!
Quoth the AC
And you know this is 'because of stigma' how?

All I can say is:

So - in this case, you agree with OP? Because I'm pretty confused about what kind of social darwinist argument you're making here.

No, actually, it's not like that at all its, like, 'hyperbole'
