This family would kill them outright, kill them in their sleep, feed them glass, poison them, burn down the house, put the word out that they were here, or otherwise fuck them up.
The car would sharply accelerate past my previous speed and would have probably gone forever had I not stopped it. ...and an opportunity to experience relativistic speeds was lost forever.
I think people are taking the whole "global test" thing a little too literally
If you're going to hammer my guy on what he says, hold your guy to what he says -- assuming he means what you hope he means is just duck-n-cover with your own dick in your mouth.
Users dependent on FOSS are in one camp. Users depending on SUN are in another camp. Users able to identify and fix their own issues are in a third, tiny camp.
Wanting change isn't driving change, believing in change isn't demonstrating a need for change.
Most Americans, though, are (I guess?) made uncomfortable by people who can look so deeply into something, and I still don't know why.
... during this century, intellectualism failed, and everyone knows it. In places like Russia and Germany, the common people agreed to loosen their grip on traditional folkways, mores, and religion, and let the intellectuals run with the ball, and they screwed everything up and turned the century into an abbatoir. Those wordy intellectuals used to be merely tedious; now they seem kind of dangerous as well.
We Americans are the only ones who didn't get creamed at some point during all of this. We are free and prosperous because we have inherited political and values systems fabricated by a particular set of eighteenth-century intellectuals who happened to get it right. But we have lost touch with those intellectuals, and with anything like intellectualism, even to the point of not reading books any more, though we are literate. We seem much more comfortable with propagating those values to future generations nonverbally, through a process of being steeped in media. Apparently this actually works to some degree, for police in many lands are now complaining that local arrestees are insisting on having their Miranda rights read to them, just like perps in American TV cop shows. When it's explained to them that they are in a different country, where those rights do not exist, they become outraged. Starsky and Hutch reruns, dubbed into diverse languages, may turn out, in the long run, to be a greater force for human rights than the Declaration of Independence.

How is that acceptable, while cleaning my world of Muslim pollutants isn't?

Really?
Every single village?
That's harsh, I never knew they did that.
Fuckin' Johnson's never getting my vote again.
Burning all villages, that's how you loose my vote.
In case I haven't mentioned it lately, you're a fucking idiot.
Maybe we should make this a yearly reminder.
I'll set an alert in my PIM.
No - by that logic a novel averages 833 words per page.
Most estimates I've seen claim 250 - 300 words per page (http://www.tameri.com/format/wordcounts.html).
Using 250 words per page gives us 200 pages, which is clearly novel-length.
This thing needs a kegholder.

How soft is Steve's tongue?
Fascinating.
What do you discuss with your hash dealer?
Because it was on Fark
Traf-O-Data wasn't MS.
Bill and Paul chasing bugs in the Computer Center Corporation wasn't MS.
IBM wanted to buy CP/M from Digital but Kildall wouldn't come to terms.
MS did, and purchased a CP/M-like OS that they then rewrote for IBM.
I thought they started out as a language company.
Shows what I know.
I believe you've got that backwards.
The engineering geology I learned was to avoid areas where Mother Nature is going to win in the long run.
Well, that rules out, um, everywhere.

False dichotomy.

Does insanity pay well?
" I'm especially interested in what non-Americans think."
I suppose someone ought to be.
So are you for it or against it?
I honestly can't tell from your post.
I get the feeling that you believe the US should withdraw now.
Remember the summer of 1975.
