    Uuum, just a question:
    How exactly does Bill O’Reilly have the power to decide the behavior of the Red Cross?

    I hope it’s not the Red Cross buying into some talking retard’s bullshit. Because... well, a whole global organization, succumbing to the views of a single irrelevant idiot with zero competence, would be... just completely silly.

    It would be like me now stating “Médecins sans frontières are a couple of fags” and this resulting in a global investigation on their sexual preferences. Just... WTF??

    You know that whenever someone in the media states something, your need to buy into it, is exactly zero.
    Carry on, do what you think is right. And when interviewed, say exactly that: “Bill O’Reilly is a completely incompetent asshole who spins bullshit for a living. You should be ashamed for listening to such an obvious money-making, made-up shit. Laugh at him. He’s a complete joke, and he knows it.”

  15. Re:Try to give them help and this is what they get on Radio Hams Fired Upon In Haiti · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wow, so you are right and he is wrong, because...?
    You brought no arguments to the table. Only insults and “religious” phrase canting.

    First of all, you do not define morality at all. So it is physically impossible to agree with you.
    Then, common “political correct” “morality”, is so detached from reality, that it can only be described as seriously fucked up and very dangerous. So if you meant that one, your “noble” is my “idiot”. (I’ll explain why this description is justified, below.)

    The base mechanism here, on a physical level, is that we humans help others, because we know that this helps us too.
    And GP meant, that in reality, in cases where you know that you are going to get a kick in the balls, normal humans don’t help. The concept of just giving and giving and giving, without getting anything back, is a concept, created by those who always just take. The joke is, that if you try to fight it, to protect them, they will fight you, to protect it.

    Or in one simple sentence: If not jumping in the water under the delusion that that could save him, and therefore not drowning with him octopus-grabbing you, means I”m “scum“ to you, then I’m proud to be “scum”. Because by throwing a him rope, I will save two people, that with your “noble” method, would both have drowned.

    I bet you define morality, as expecting others to give their life for you.
    My morality is, that one does never ever expect anything from anyone. One can give something. But if nothing comes back, one will also stop giving something. (As described above.) Because else one has a greedy leech on one’s neck.
    I bet that this exact behavior of being used by a leech, is what you see as “noble”, and the behavior of denying to always and forever give away your life for people who are the opposite of thankful, is what you define as “scum”.

    And, can I make a wild guess, why that is so?
    Because you are the leech. You expect others to give. You just take. And you call that a noble moral. Because it is useful for you.

    Nice way of putting spin on it, to twist in in your favor, OnLive CEO Steve Perlman!

    But this single paragraph will make me never ever come in contact with your company again,

    Please note that due to legal actions being taken against us including a DMCA notice given to our website hosting service, we have removed all of OnLive's logos from this article. I apologize that this screws up the preview just a bit, but the words are still 100% the same as they were when originally published!

    That was obviously a complete dick move, to get the article off the net, because it shows what you like to hide:
    That the service does not work in practice, that the lag kills it, and that it’s utter crap.
    Also I assume, that if you pull such shit on others, you would pull even worse shit on me, as soon as we would have a contract.

  20. Complete and utter bullshit. on Prolonged Gaming Blamed For Rickets Rise · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Rickets is caused by eating trash. Over generations. From being a baby (artificial milk) to growing old.

    With what we eat, it’s a wonder, and proof of the robustness of nature, that we can still reproduce and survive!

    I’ll make the following statement: >90% of what we eat nowadays, can’t be classified as “food” anymore.
    Much less as species-appropriate.

    It’s already known, that most so-called “age-related” diseases actually are coming with age, not because of age. Like hair loss, bad sight, blood pressure, multiple bone diseases, etc, etc, etc.
    And by “known”, I mean studies over 30 years, with more than 30,000 patients.
    (Most studies, which always go maybe a couple of years, can’t find anything because it’t a very long-term effect.)

    So I blame bad food, until proven otherwise.
