I was beginning to despair. How many hundreds of idiotic complaints and comments before someone got to some truth. I was a driver's ed instructor for a number of years, and this was very common knowledge and included on the state curriculum since at least 2005.
Fair enough. FWIW, I've noticed that there are a ton of authors of not unrecent vintage whose books are out of print. I would think the publishers would get on this. Small runs should be a lot cheaper with modern printing techniques, not to mention e-book sales. Oh well.
Gold is a terrible currency, the most overvalued material on earth. It has almost no real value. Its only practical use is as a corrosion resistant connector in basic electronics.
The currency that has had the most steady value in terms of a laborers wage over the last 4 thousand years is beer.
Beer is difficult to transport (bulky compared to its value) and spoils rather quickly. Distilling it to whiskey is a better option. The Scotch-Irish figured that out a few centuries ago.
And if they could avoid liquidating their profits, they'd be the richest countries on earth.
If that correction was true, then why didn't we launch under Regan or Carter?
Because as powerful as Donald Regan was, they usually don't give the football to the Secretary of the Treasury. They have sneakier methods of destroying nations.
No, I missed no point. You, however, missed the context and what I actually said in order to make some childish point about America/Apple/whatever.

A $1000 phone that only lasts 13 months can't really be considered of merchantable quality
Nowhere does he say that Apple should pay. He says that the product shouldn't even be sold.
My reply:
You got a couple of outliers. Shit happens.
Nowhere did I say that Apple shouldn't pay. The implication of my post is that his two units are either being used grossly improperly (my lewd comment about sex practices) but were in no way indicative of the phone in general, and that he certainly didn't present a compelling argument to ban sales of iPhones.
Having had two iPhones fail between the one year warranty and the two that should apply, I'm not too pleased about Apple dodging their responsibilities under our warranty law.
You know, despite the jokes on slashdot, you really are NOT supposed to insert them into your anus. Now you know why.
As far as the phone not being merchantable? You got a couple of outliers. Shit happens.
You're equating not wanting to have a picture of yourself and your lover splashed across the tabloids with racism. That's a very short straw you're clutching. In fact less of a straw, more of a lead weight.
Why, that's a very 21st century take on a less enlightened people.
I thought the Chicago way was more like: " They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That's* the *Chicago* way! "
Did the fan touch him? No? Then fuck Russell Brand. Being an obnoxious shit does not give another person the right to put hands on another. Doesn't mitigate it either.
Being rich gave them access to an armored Mercedes with a driver. Being gits made them dumb enough to let an inebriated person drive for them while they refused to wear seatbelts.
I reject the paparazzi as a factor, regardless of any police report. The means to stay alive were completely, 100% within the control of Dodi and Diana. There were multiple stupid things they did that led to their deaths.
People in the past (and present) have had adverse emotional reactions to their white daughters or sisters dating 'coloreds'. Does that mitigate the guilt when that man lynches the black for that offense?

Not by itself, but when you do that with EVERY part, it starts to add up.

Heck, it was my English teacher who told us we should read the Miller's Tale first.
Maybe they don't like it because of the pictures of the naked kid?
For some strange reason, people have come to think of "God" as some deity's proper name.
Because God wouldn't tell us God's proper name. When Moses asked "What should people call you?", God answered "I AM THAT I AM.
So God's name is... Popeye?

You put health warnings on Cigarettes yet people still buy them (because they don't care).
Denis Leary already covered this. (Or was that a bit he stole from Bill Hicks?)
Now I understand Lee Tamahori's fall from grace.
Frankly, he could have gotten away with it if "Die Another Day" wasn't such a steaming pile.

That''s silly. It's pretty and attracts gold digging whores .
(And it's corrosion resistant for most any use)
FTFY. (And provided a helpful link)

I am sure nobody will remember this post while they accuse you of being an Apple shill/fanboi.
Pshhh.... qzjkh is a perfectly cromulent word.
I think you mean "kwyjibo."

Does that help clear things up a little?
They're all idiots. Or 'sheeple'. Or don't do any real work. Or hipsters living off their parents. Or....
It's not racist if it's true. He really is a faggot and a nigger.
I guess that got confirmed when you gave him a bj?

Another lame slashdot summary linking to a lame article. EVERYONE knows the man's name is Oscar Goldman.

He wouldn't post anonymously. He'd have some clever nickname to post under.
Oh, I see what ya did there.
Let me know when you have managed to find a society that imposed manners via legislation, and then we can talk.

Provocation? That's a thin skinned little turd if he can go over the deep end just because someone wants a picture.
And while Brand getting a table in a restaurant may not be a legal defense for the fan, it removes any sympathy I have for the 'comedian'.
