    embezzlers? were they raised that way, or raised to covet power an money.

    mass shooters aren't how most violent shooting murders happen, the thousands each year are done in inner cities, by certain inner city subcultures. there even might be gang members that have killed more than the average mass shooter.

    Do you want to talk about the family of the las vegas shooter...??

    so typical hollywood tripe then. warner-brothers should try something radical like making a quality movie.

    No, people commit less crime when they are raised to respect other people and their property. Apple doesn't want to put a store in a place where too high a percentage of people aren't raised that way. There are neighborhoods with high crime that are white, latino...and Apple isn't going to put a store there either.

    Blaiming "the government" for making high crime areas, what a laugh.

    you're funny, people waste hours and days trying to twiddle and fiddle and solve wine issues, if they're solvable at all. If you want to play games from the 90s, install an old windows version and have a stable platform for playing with no fuss, the installation only needs to be done once after all.

  7. so are the people with deadly diseases being test subjects for a big pharmy clinical trial in any different situation? Half being a control group that gets a placebo, half getting something that probably won't work?

    or it's okay with you because a multi-billion dollar corporation is doing it?

    and that's totally different from clinical trials of new medicines for deadly diseases...how exactly? almost all of those fail too, the control and test subjects all get the usual mortality rate. you have no point.

    Wild turkeys fly. Domestic ones can when they're young but do less often as they grow up (and grow fat). So the real answer is that fat turkeys can't fly.

    if you're running windows wares you "lost the battle already", just run actual windows in a VM and your windows wares will run wonderfully.

    bullshit.

    It is important to remind ourselves of the evil philosophies and methods used by tyrants and oppressors to manipulate the masses. The chosen Hitler quotes were excellent for that. It is indefensible that we kowtow to puny minded politically correct snowflakes.

    you do realize that venting, even with filtering, is poisoning the environment (including people)? it's still a "you failed to protect the public" scenario.

    That 1987 system wasn't good enough, so in 2012 NRC made another reccomendation for hardened vents...and then in 2013 another for the venting to remain functional even after core damage because of some benefit (keep the damn thing from exploding by poisoning the environment even more
