you should have saw it when they started shipping skilled labor overseas, and the collapse of GM, and stateside manufacture. We were all fools to think we are any really diffrent than the other workers. In arrogance we threw them under the bus.
the point of law enforcement including those guarding the President is to render suspects for trial, not meet out punishment.
And think about it this way. What would have happened on the world stage if someone wearing a cute hat from a childrens show carrying a stuffed animal of the same, otherwise unarmed is mercilessly gunned down on the seat of power, in full view of lots and lots and lots of tourists, passersby, etc...
Also, if a man legitimately has plans to attack the president, Chances are near zero, and taking the attacker alive(preventing him from almost doubtly taking his own life as well), and questioning him would most certainly help the go after the planners.
not just does it reduce the amount of money the government has to spent by taxes, since its dirrectly giving to schools, it starts to assume the role of the government and will be able to dictate policy, such as schools will conform to google's vision to attract funding.
I am just pointing out the hypocrisy some people have that insist that solar/electric is only feasible when subsidied. Something the oil industry readily admits is true about themselves.
of course, they push to remove public funding of schools, then pick up the slack themselves, making a problem to solve, then taking over dirrection for a system they caused to fail.
So basicly good has financial control over public education. Even without making demands, it is now understood that google is a player than you pander to for funding. So Administrators will adjust coursework, perhaps disciplinary actions, etc... not only to cater to what google wants done, but perhaps might even start censoring negtive opinions about google in the classroom.
Then, it becomes very possible that google can use financial incentives, penalties, and other more "active" measures to ensure compliance with their goals.
Many of google's goals in the short term seem noble, and I am thankful for this, but its a really bad dangerous trend towards privitization that can take a really nasty turn down the road if it ever takes hold. It also sets precident and opens the door for other companies to do the same.
What we are going to have in 25 years, is a return to feudalism, where various companies control all matters of public life in various diffrent spaces, and their users will be made to fight against eachother for the sake of the company.
We see this beginning with Apple vs Google vs Microsoft. They have entire continuums of space where you are expected to use the entire range of company products, and socially identify with the company, and your fellow users.
oh god, I think your taking the "macfag" thing too far. It started when gay bashing was socially acceptable, and I guess continues as an anarchornism, but we are desperately trying to make macfag one word, and use the word "fag" in the south park meaning, or "obnoxious asshole burden to society", or "someone we would like to throw into a bonfire", and somehow seperate the fag in macfag from any homosexual connoations.
Its homophobic as shit to compare apple users to homosexuals in the first place.
what the fuck are you smoking? iTunes has got to be by far, the worst music manager hands down I've ever used.
>If you check the little box that says "let iTunes manage my music library" it does. It makes folders based upon ID3 tags and files that shit away proper. Now if you're one of those tards who thinks you can manage your library better than iTunes, maybe it will piss you off.
it does that now? winamp did that for years. In fact winamp could scan multiple directories and automaticly import music, videos and all media automaticly, with an array of options for guessing metadata if none was present.
Also, banshee, Rythmbox, and just about every other program does this too, and they all do if far far far better. ALL of these programs automaticly add and delete new music put in your Music folder, they can all sort your mp3s by filename, and you can turn that feature off. Banshee also has bulk ID3 editing modes, and also has a nice de-duplication feature to look through your library to help you find duplicate files to save disk space. Last time I used iTunes you had to import new music manually.
They all (banshee, winamp, rythmbox), sync with your iPod, android phones, MTP entabled music player, and the linux ones Banshee and Rythmbox follow the FreeDesktop.org format of being able to interpret any directory as a music player if you put a blank file named.isamusicplayer in the directory, just in case you know, it doesn't detect your MP3 player correctly, or your syncing to an SD card to put in said player.
they are common carriers, because the service they offer is connecting you to other networks where the content lives.
The content and users are spread out among a wide variety of networks that work under fairly uniform rules of operation that is more or less the same for all end nodes, be it servers or clients. Much like the phone system.
This fits the definition of "common carrier", they are not legally as defined as such, but they operate as such.
This is diffrent from traditional Cable TV services, where content and network are tightly intertwined, and the sole purpose of the network is to access content from the same service.
the oil companies that make your gasoline and motor oil. I mean its not like they run on razor thin margins and need a tax credit to stay profitable or something.
you need math to operate both money and guns correctly.
To zero the sights on a rifle, you need math. When you get into more complicated weapon systems like tanks and artillery, you need lots more math, and to be competative in modern warfare, Fire Control Systems, which require computers to do the math really really quickly.
Militaries in general have always needed engineers to build machines of war.
to keep track of finance, you need math. To run any state, you need advanced college+ math. Even personal finance needs math.
The Islamic State is being set up to fail in the long run which doesn't suprise me. The damage they can do in the short term is horrifying.
I'm blaming the oil companies for crying like little retarded brats who've been whipped when solar companies gets subsidizes, screamin about how solar isn't economicly effective unless there are massive government subsidies.
Then low and behold, they get massive government subsidies in the form of tax breaks, and are bitchin and complainin about not being profitable enough. Pick one. Either if fine, but they can't have it both ways. On top of that, it looks to me like using solar is more cost effective, otherwise they wouldn't be using it themselves. Imagine if microsoft ran its internal servers on GNU/Linux?
But yeah, I believe you, it takes a lot of resources to produce oil, and its only going to take more and more. I mean whats going to happen when it becomes uncompetative? Should we still subsidize it?
really? I think your confusing the argument. What you meant was "If all the oil in the world suddenly disappeared tommorow, the world would stop".
But thats totally diffrent, because everything around me could be made without well reserve oil.(I make the distinction because there are many things called "oil", and many sources for it.)
>Also note that your history indicated that "sawback" bayonets were mainly used by the German armies. Adopting a prohibition against them may have been a political move to allow retroactive condemnation of the "uncivilized" enemy army.
long before the geneva convention, and they dropped it on their own, without a convention, because they made shitty multitools.
remember, chemical warfare was against the earlier hauge convention, which existed long before WW1, which banned all the chemicals used in such.
>Right, because the military is the worst possible place to learn about the military.
no. I am just saying, repeating what they teach you in BCT as absolute fact is bullshit. Lot of it is outdated(generally fighting a few wars past), and very biased.
>Just like your stupid ass bayonet claim, it's fucking wrong.
I serious suggest reading something before getting mad.
>ad hominem
you keep using that word, you don't seem to know what it means. It doesn't mean "someone proved me wrong on internets", like I was doing to you, it means "attacking someone's character as a counter argument", such as you are doing.
>The US Military does not have any serrations on their weapons because of Geneva conventions. It can not be used as a multipurpose tool, and has not been issued as a multipurpose tool for that exact reason. If you need to saw rope, you have to use an entrenching tool.
the M9 bayonet has a serrated backside and is a multipurpose tool. The M9 was not designed with the serious intent of being used as a weapon.(its basicly a camping knife)
Oh speaking of e-tools, those are also serrated, and your instructed to use those as a weapon as well, as they have been used as weapons, because, oh, the last bayonet charge by US forces was in WW2, and it was outdated by then. ZOMG THE US ARMY LIKES TO FIND WAYS AROUND THE CONVENTION. Sweet shit. next your going to tell me that US forces would never aim a.50 cal machine gun at
I think what you mean to say, is no bayonet used by the US Army, when bayonnets were actually used against people, which would be true, because it wouldn't be praticle.
>Those same books are not always available to the public, so your Wiki page != US Military Libraries.
military libraries? no such thing. I've sifted through boxes of documents in my time, but there is no military library. And no, most soliders don't spend their off time sifting through such manuals on the rules of war.
your basicly funding a program to make people stop talking about today's problems by berating them, and encouraging people to look at the situation in a more positive white washing light. Your expected to apologize for, instead of demand change from the system.
That is scary, and orwellian. You might as well call your group the ministry of truth

No. No. No.

More hype to increase the budget, and I am starting to get sick of it.
I think its been said before in this thread, but it bears repeating, that the SS(Secret Service) as enough fucking money.
its funny how the bosses bitch and complain forr rare instance when the system they set up doesn't work in their favor
well shit, hating a group of people not doing anything wrong is not acceptable. I'm not pretending to speak for some majority, just common decency.
So why do you hate people for voicing their opinion on what is or is not common decency?
Or, I'm going to start peddling these "legalize rape, murder, and heroin" pamplets to kids, and how dare you speak to me about moral outrage!!!

there is a gross disproportion of scale between US conservatives and the Muslim Brotherhood, and the MB, and Al-Qaeda, and Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

its somewhat a BS myth we constructed, but it never really worked like that. We tend to ignore the parts of history that seem to disagree with it.

major problem with that too.
