Besides, cell phones are cheap and have a shorter usable life compared to expensive HD televisions which should last at least 10 years like my Sony SD Tube did. I'd hate to drop that cash in an immature market and be stuck with a TV I don't like for 10 years.
Easily scared pacifists can set up defenses to protect themselves without having to go on the offensive, but it's not the only technique needed. We need all types of people all over the pacifist-warmongering spectrum. But we also need people to judge risk in a rational way.
The grandparent was trying to blame all this on the pacifists, even though it is the war-mongering people who are cool with giving up their liberty for security. I think we're all to blame, but for different reasons.
I think slashdot recently did an article on how humanity's innate risk assessment is become out-dated in our modern society.
I wondered why so many people were willing to be surveiled without an evidence trail, be subject to rediculous and ineffective 'security procedures' before flying on an airline, and voluntarilly suppress their freedom of speech.
They are scared because they believe the hype. The scared ones scream for war, even after the war-mongerers have been shown to have lied. They are craven, pathetic dregs of society...nationalists, jingoists, religionists. It wasn't the pacifists who wanted to attack a nation that never hurt the USA...it was the scared-as-shit violent trash!
I blame the media that suppresses sexuality and glorifies violence and horror before I blame the pacifists. We've had the Hippies since the 1960s...I think this anti-violence trend is in reaction to the real violence being perpetrated arround the world in our name.
But that's not going to happen. Even the 'small government' right-wing Jeebus-loving freakos need their tax-exemptions for church! Hell, the most rightwing/conservative states are the states getting the most money from the Fed! There's too many people on the teat to change now it seems.
Don't get me started about 'child credits' on the tax forms either...makes me see red.
That's right dipshit. Score one for Freedom of Speech and a blow against the building police state. When my government can surveil me with no evidence trail, something is wrong, and I believe a suitable action is to simply not cooperate.
Just like Josh Wolf did. He didn't hurt anyone, but he's not going to help out the police who were abusing him and his fellow protestors.
...shit man, everything is about fear these days. Fear sells and we're all buying. Why do you think the gun people always use the protection aspect to sell their position? Not everyone enjoys firing a weapon for the sake of the skill, but everyone would like to feel a little more secure.
My company, however, has over 350,000 employees world-wide. I hate to sound cliche, but your business needs to embrace IT infrastructure as an asset, not an expense! Unfortunately, I have no advice on how to convince them of this idea.
Come on, all those bullshit promises? Yeah right! If I'm really considering suicide, the possible prospect of a magical sky-daddy who's gonna keep me alive forever in a perfect place, is so ludicrous that I doubt it would convince me to put the razor down.
Are you blaming the desert climate of Iraq on mankind's actions? Um, there's a timeline problem with that involving the industrial age and the last time that area of the world was green.

That's called having principles.
Connecticut has a net loss as far as federal dollars go.
We only get $0.61 back in services for every $1.00 we send to the fed.
New Mexico gets a whopping $2.00 for every buck they contribute.
I think we should stop subsidizing people who live in the fucking desert and Hurricane-prone regions.
I mean, why not just bust down the door and take the system back to the lap?
Or do you have expectation of privacy in your dorm room, but not in your computer....
...The Democrats aren't much better than the Republicans at this part of the game however. I'll have to keep an eye on this.
I mean, that's why people go there, right? Well the food too, but it's really the lady-boys. I hear it's a hot spot for various radio personalities.
Hahaha...oh the jokes the jokes...

I'm not bashing these technologies, just trying to draw the GP out and have him explain his claims.

Rotary with it's wear and consumption issues?
Miller-cycle which requires a supercharger?
Surely not two-stroke with all pollution...
Turbine? In a car?
Not sure what your point is.
Too excited to bother.
If it works, use it.
Evolution theory works better than 'God made it'.
Sorry.
I hope it comes out for a Nintendo system...because that's the only one I would even consider purchasing.
I'll have to dust off my Saturn and play the original tonight.
...I can't seem to muster up much concern.
Suck it, authorotarian!

People teach their religion as fact. Sometimes even to young children who don't know any better.
...being corrupt lying and hateful retards means that all religious people are fucking assholes who deserve a bullet to the face.
I like the cut of you jib!

Intelligent debate...right...
Our allies the British have a report indicating that 655,000 Iraqis have died so far. It's been checked and considered accurate.
I hope someone you know suffers as a result of this evil war of choice.
If only Frodo had thought to do that...Gollum would never have had a chance to take the ring!
