  1. Re:Nothing to see here, move on on Government Finds New Emails Clinton Did Not Hand Over · · Score: 1

    I'm okay with Hispanics coming in to the US to make a better life for themselves. That's what made this country after all. Unfortunately it seems a lot of people don't want to apply for a green card or citizenship. They just want to settle in and, as you said, take over. If we allow that to happen then we'll end up with a steaming pile of shit just like what exists south of the border. Not Mexico but more like Guatemala and Nicaragua and the other places in Central America that are such a mess. Immigration is good but needs to be compliant with the law. Anything else should be stomped on hard.

    It's actually unconstitutional, at least by a literal interpretation of the US Constitution. Of course the courts have pretty much decided to reinterpret that document in a way that allows the government to get away with all kinds of sleazy things. Can't let legality get in the way now can we?

    And then we get into a tit for tat situation. The US will make it hard for European Union corporations to do business here. It wont be good for anyone but the US has deep pockets even with the last two presidents presiding over a spending spree of biblical proportions. It's arguably more self sufficient than the EU. It'll be bad for the world in general. I expect there will be some sort of compromise way before anything like that happens though.

    If you think common sense is locking people up who don't agree with your views then I'm hardly the nutty one. The fact is that there are lots of people who disagree with global warming. Trying to say it's a total of four means he's either an idiot or a liar, most likely both. If you start locking up people who don't agree you'll only make things far worse.

    Global warming, and I concede it's a fact so I am not a denier, has become such a big issue with some people that it has reached an almost religious fervor. A lot of the more radical of these people are wanting to start a jihad. The problem is that the more strident and crazy they get the more push back they get from the deniers. Instead of changing minds about global warming they cause people to become entrenched in their denials. They do more harm to their cause than any of the people going on TV to claim that their is no global warming.

    That's right, just lock up those that disagree with you. How in hell you expect to lock up tens of millions of people without a civil war that'll make global warming look like a nice day at the park I don't really know. Fortunately your stupid ass isn't in charge.

    Need? Are you kidding? If I was worried about water usage I'd wet down and shut the water off, lather up and wash then turn the water on and rinse. You shouldn't need more than about 60 seconds of water flow. I usually stand under the water for about 10 minutes or so feeling the hot stinging spray loosening sore tired muscles and easing an aching back. A hot shower is all about luxury, not need.

    Most evolutionists seem to think they have the answers to everything as well. I always enjoyed asking questions in school that I knew were bedeviling scientists about evolution. Watching a know it all snobby professor dance around and then get pissed off about it was amusing. I'm happy to admit I really don't know how God created the Universe. I'm also happy to pick at know everything jerks who don't know how evolution created it either.

    It's okay as a desktop PC but it's really shines for other computing uses. The graphics really are nice in 2D but 3D is a different matter. I do have one behind the TV serving up movies and tv shows. I'll have to drag out my old PIII laptop and run some comparisons in things like converting a CD to mp3 files. I remember doing that on a dual Pentium 2/333 box. I know it wasn't as fast as my i7 Mac Mini for sure. I'm amazed at CPU power compared to 15 years ago. I started with an 8bit C64 clocked at 1mhz with 64KB of RAM. Sometimes I see people call things like the Raspberry Pi slow and it makes me laugh. I wonder if anyone has even tried ripping a CD with an RPi?

    Not me. I don't know what prisons are like over there but in the USA I'd pay pretty much anything to stay out of prison. I'd sell everything I owned and give them my retirement and 401K account. I've seen enough of what these hell holes we call prisons are like and I'd kill anyone to stay out of one. If they ever come to get me to stick me in one of those cages it'll be a shootout like Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid.
