  1. Re:Review Baratz all you want on Israel 'To Review' Top Appointment After Facebook Controversy (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What a stupid statement. President Obama is nothing more, or less, than another liberal politician who feels that if only we could all sit down and talk we could all get along. He's constantly befuddled by how hard it is to deal with people that have hundreds upon hundreds of years of war and bloodshed between them with a sizable percentage that only know hatred for everyone who isn't one of them. The fact that there is no simple solution for the Middle East seems to elude them. If Israel acceded to all the demands place upon them by their hostile neighbors there would still be no peace in the Middle East. The one hero that stood up and made peace, Anwar Sadat, was murdered for that action.

    I think they're pretty sensitive to the charge of anti-semitism as it's an accurate statement. Nothing hurts like the truth. Just another case of the hit dog hollers. The comment about Kerry was out of line though. I'm no fan of his by any means but the "mental age of 12 comment" was childish in it's own right.

    I'd take Netanyahu over most of the field of GOP hopefuls.

    The comments Baratz made were truthful though. The problem is that diplomacy takes a dim view of telling truthful statements about leaders of governments.

    I've seen those guys. I knew one that was white as a piece of paper with long black hair frizzy hair he might get cut once every 12-18 weeks and changed clothes every three or four days. He worked 14-20 hours a day and it was all he cared about. He had absolutely no life other than writing software. He was the extreme case but there were dozens who were not a lot better. One woman came in for a job interview, looked around at the environment and her future co-workers and didn't stay for the interview. Just walked the hell out.

    It's not about reality, it's about perception. It doesn't matter which pollutes more only which is perceived to be worse.

    The thing about babies is that when they arrive they change everything in your life. Some for the better and some worse. Generally they mostly change your attitude about life for most people. There are some sad exceptions though.

    Actually most of the time when Bush Sr. spoke he never really said anything. He'd talk for hours and not one thing of any substance, The one time he got emphatic it was a fucking lie though. I got the feeling at the time he meant it but he just didn't have the balls to follow through.

  14. Re:By what authority on EU Parliament: Citizens' Rights Still Endangered By Mass Surveillance · · Score: 1

    We're considering as a set of those "unalienable" rights. I guess the founders of the USA never really thought stuff like that would be necessary since they put those amendments 4 and 10 into the Constitution. I guess they didn't count on corrupt judges on the Supreme Court re-interpreting the Constitution to mean what they'd like it to mean. Kind of like the definition of is.

    Nah. It's not about oil. Bush Sr. said so. I heard him, it was sometime after the "Read my lips, no new taxes!" pledge.

    That's one theory. All the research I've done makes it seem like maybe the earth has no one stage, it's up and down. I kind of like it like it is now but I'm used to that.

    Listen dick cheese. It's a simple question that even a simple mind like yours should be able to digest. The idea is that the earth has had climate change since there has been an earth. The temps go up and down and who is to say what is normal. We know what we like and that's about it. Yes, the climate is warming. No shit, sherlock, I can read a thermometer. Ice is melting and you know what, things change. One day one of those super volcanoes we read about is gonna blow and then things will get ugly. I'm all for some common sense ideas about how to keep from running the carbon footprint over the edge but this incessant carping about climate change is beyond that. Instead of common sense we get fucking shit-for-brains asswipes such as yourself foaming at the mouth.

    Actually with closed source software you don't pay for the software you license the software. It's their software and you simply have a license to use it for certain purposes and in certain ways. Some software you think you own may not be allowed to be used in a virtual environment for example as that requires a different license that costs more money.

    My question is what temperature is the Earth supposed to be? I mean is it supposed to be a hothouse with tropical foliage everywhere as it once was or is it supposed to be a ball of ice like it once was? I'd think somewhere in between would be good but really all I hear is that it's getting hot but no real idea of what temperature it should be.
