And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed – if all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth. "Who controls the past," ran the Party slogan, "controls the future: who controls the present controls the past." And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. "Reality control," they called it: in Newspeak, "doublethink."

Sounds like being a pubic school, educated little douchelord who post comments with no relation to context or temporalalty has not worked out well for your either.
Looks like you got your contrapositive all twisted up, there.
There are better ways to deal with trolls than by using obviously invalid reasoning.
The existence of murderous atheists doesn't disprove the suggestion that all theists are murderous. The existence of peaceable theists does, however.
And I certainly have no trust in the christians doing it now.... mind-fucked pawns hellbend on destruction of everything not right to their religion?

BTW, there are a lot more murderous Islamist radicals than murderous Christians. Guess that was not the in the troll's talking points from his handlers...
"The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power."

I would like a better fitness watch that tracked pulse rate without a chest band, respiration rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood o2 levels, as well a movements such as swimming and riding, not just waking and running. I would like to to use the GPS in my phone and not have one built in.
"‘Smith!’ screamed the shrewish voice from the telescreen. ‘6079 Smith W.! Yes, YOU! Bend lower, please! You can do better than that. You’re not trying. Lower, please! THAT’S better, comrade. Now stand at ease, the whole squad, and watch me.
A sudden hot sweat had broken out all over Winston’s body. His face remained completely inscrutable. Never show dismay! Never show resentment! A single flicker of the eyes could give you away. He stood watching while the instructress raised her arms above her head and — one could not say gracefully, but with remarkable neatness and efficiency — bent over and tucked the first joint of her fingers under her toes.
‘THERE, comrades! THAT’S how I want to see you doing it. Watch me again. I’m thirty-nine and I’ve had four children. Now look.’ She bent over again. ‘You see MY knees aren’t bent. You can all do it if you want to,’ she added as she straightened herself up. ‘Anyone under forty-five is perfectly capable of touching his toes. We don’t all have the privilege of fighting in the front line, but at least we can all keep fit. Remember our boys on the Malabar front! And the sailors in the Floating Fortresses! Just think what THEY have to put up with. Now try again. That’s better, comrade, that’s MUCH better,’ she added encouragingly as Winston, with a violent lunge, succeeded in touching his toes with knees unbent, for the first time in several years.’"

Most slashdotter's are too brainwashed by the liberal media for "hope and change" that they don't realize their future is being stolen from them.
FairTax would vastly reduce the problems of crony capitalism and special interests. It will not happen until the sheeple stop allowing themselves to be sheared.

Let's all be honest here (hear?) - it was a beer can, not a "beverage" can. Do we always have to be so politically correct?

There will never be another Rebublican president. George W Bush was enough to get Americans to dicard that idea.
There will never be another Progressive president. Barack Hussein Obama was enough to get Americans to dicard that idea.
