My ass. Terrorists purposely attack civilian targets. It is their focus. Freedom fighters attack military targets. There is a difference, and it isn't related to whose side you are on. Ireland is a good example of this, much terrorism on both sides...
Trite phrases are no better an argument than analogies are.
Warning to Alkali: if there is further public discussion of projects best not mentioned in public, withdrawal of your security clearance will be the least of your concerns.
It doesn't add up. The problem is that your facts are wrong, because you are looking for the conspiracy you so badly want to find. The Iranian government doesn't much like the US, you know (no, really, it's true) and the oil fires started some time before US troops even crossed their lines of departure.

They're being nice to you. I remember coming back after being out in the field (with my Uncle Sam) for a month or so. Several of us had gotten clean -- green scrub pads work good for that deep down dirt -- and were going out to eat. Another guy hadn't had anyone pick him up so we took him to his place. He stank soooo bad. We had to roll all the windows down and open the sunroof and could still barely stand it. And in early Colorado springtime, that can be rough...
You are also prolly mistaking the fact that you tune your own smells out, and any that you are constantly exposed to also. You just get desensitized.

While I doubt anyone could object to airstrikes on the French, I can't see how anyone would give a shit who discovered Pluto. I'm pretty sure the US has more things to be proud about that that...
Your theory is incorrect. Systems are not compatible because of turf wars and differing needs. Disruption occurs because the systems don't talk to each other. This is not an advantage. If they had the chance to get everybody on the same sheet of music it'd make a lot of things easier.

It's cool that vampires are considerate of traffic, but the biting thing has to stop.
Your example has products that can be obsoleted, and generally are at this stage. The book still contains valuable / interesting information. Don't mistake analogy for argument, it's a poor fit.
Make up your mind -- is it your suggestion that America should or should not be quick to go to war? You've supported both theories so far. (This is part where I am not sure if you are a moron unable to recognize this fact, or simply a hypocrite if your own interests are at stake.)
Didn't say anything about employees acting like sheep. I said that employers do not all act in a rational manner. Some of them will consideremployees to be a cog in the machine, easily replaceable, and not take time to consider if that is truly in the best interest of the company. FWIW, just as inertia prevents change, it also prevents too many companies from immediately going out of business after making mistakes.
Silly man, you have confused people with Vulcans. Here's a tip: people, and therefore companies do not always act in their own best interests. They get emotional, they get greedy, they get stupid when they know better. They get unemotional when it's a choice of you vs them. Employees can be, and often are treated as cogs in a machine, even though this is not efficient. Sometimes the bosses only look at numbers, not "employees", much less as Joe with a family and house.
It's odd that you wouldn't know this, but maybe you simply are positing your perfect world, instead of this here dirtball we live on?

Depends. Do you have big hooters, a tolerance for pain and O faces, and a video camera?
Hey, you're one to talk, didn't you a few days ago say Whoppers wer...oh. Sorry.

While we're being pedantic, it's "should have" and not "should of."
