    What the fuck is wrong with you? I said no such thing. You keep making up things so you can argue with yourself. I said it's time to let them handle their own fucking problems. They've been slaughtering each other for hundreds of years and we can't fix it in one generation. Stalinism my ass you fucking idiot.

    The reason the Pi is so much bigger than this is because of all the things the G25 is missing. The USB ports, the ethernet connector, HDMI port and such take up a lot of room. I'm sure omitting all those things helped keep costs down.

    I've been running the original B version with 256MB with XBMC as a media player and it's worked well for that. As a general computing platform though that does cause big slow downs if you multitask the machine as you run out of ram pretty quickly. I'm about to order some B+ models for a surveillance setup but I think now I may wait to see what the A+ looks like.

    I imagine I'd just ramp up the violence. Right now it's nothing but a small police action to try to get ISIS to stop slaughtering and raping their neighbors. Personally I don't agree with my President's actions. Trying to fix a problem that's been going on for centuries in less than a generation is not possible. ISIS is more of a problem for Iran than it is for me at this time. I'm about fed up enough with the entire situation to say to hell with all of it. Unless we post a permanent force there to keep the peace it will immediately revert the moment we depart. Enough. Equip the Kurds with modern weaponry since they appear to have the balls to fight for themselves and to hell with the rest.

    Technology marches on. Sooner or later alternatives will become more viable than oil. Next decade or maybe 5 or 6 decades but it's coming.

    I reject your argument in it's entirety. I'm easy to live with. I generally ignore things that offend me and I make reasonable efforts not to offend others. If everyone practiced that most of these problems would go away. Where I draw the line is when others try to force their beliefs on me. This works well and I believe if places like Iraq adopted this practice their country would cease to be a battle ground. Novel idea I know. Probably never catch on. If ISIS stops killing people do you imagine we'd still drop bombs on them?

    If the Saudi's decide to flood the market a lot of sellers will be capping wells.

  11. It's because they convinced the insurance regulators that costs went up. There are as many ways to hide insurance profits as there are ways to avoid paying taxes. Considering you have the money to hire the right financial people of course.

    Wrong. When I buy it I own it. Now if I lease it that would be entirely different. Having said that I will say that in this day and age if I buy anything from a dealer I'm going to go over it with a fine tooth comb. I always assume dealers are out to fuck you because.....they are.

    What are you smoking? I want to be left alone and leave others alone. They want to be left alone to fuck others over. I can see the difference even if you refuse to. And, you and they will leave me alone or there will be negative consequences. I'm not like the people over there that lay down before these cocksuckers.

    The middle east has the lowest overhead for oil production. If they decide to bottom out prices the wells in the US get capped again.

    Unfortunately it also punishes the economy. It's a democratic republic so if you go to pissing off the electorate there will be a backlash. The Democratic party just rediscovered this effect recently.

  18. No, that is a lie. Rates never go down, profits go up. Insurance companies are only slightly behind used car salesmen and politicians in the practice of lying.

    Come now, at least with the NSA you know they never said they'd never spy on anyone. How could they have possibly said that considering it's entire purpose is to spy. Supposedly they are not to conduct operations domestically but lately that has become somewhat of a grey area. The majority of Americans care little for real freedom, they want to be safe and real freedom is very dangerous.

    I think that in today's environment you can safely assume that there is something in any car you buy that enables the loan company to find it. I believe it's a no-brainer. The temptation to do this has to be overwhelming for these people as it solves a huge problem for them. If you know it's there then you can find it. All GM vehicles for years have had OnStar which means the capability was built in. I think that it's wrong for them to install it without informing the buyer but absent a law preventing the practice you know it's going to happen.

    I'm not sure how you got any of that out of what I wrote. Muslims are fine as long as they practice their religion in accordance with secular law. The parts that say kill the unbelievers they'll either ignore or there will be problems.

    This is a direct result of losing a jihad. Don't start any shit and there wont be any shit. This might happen anywhere when people get fed up and take up arms against terrorism and opressive religious fanatics. Might we not just leave people alone to believe what they want? I personally think the Muslim religion is a crock of shit but as long as they go bow toward Mecca and pray to Allah without trying to force me to I'm fine with it. When they start with the jihad crap I'm fine with killing the hell out of them too.
