It doesn't matter whether Google takes it down or leaves it up. The movie isn't the main cause. Every single day somewhere in the West there are dozens of insults to the Prophet. Muslims don't need the movie to hate us. It's just something the media have latched onto and they won't turn lose of it because it's an easy excuse.
We warned about this while the "Arab Spring" was happening last year, but nobody in the Administration listened. Well, the chickens are coming home to roost now, aren't they?
The only way to oppose terrorism being used as a tactic is to not be afraid. Their goal is to terrorize us, so our response should be, "Go ahead. We kill more of us than you ever will. You don't scare us in the least and if you keep annoying us, we'll simply nuke you."
The war on terrorism is having one success. The American people are becoming afraid of their own government. Or, maybe that was the goal all along. We're losing our freedoms one after the other and the central government gets stronger and more oppressive with each passing day.
Whichever way you vote in November won't make a difference. One party may get us to totalitarianism a little quicker than the other party, but make no mistake -- both parties have the same goal. I fear this won't be resolved until there is blood in the streets.
You give some great examples where human experience can't be matched by a computer. I could add such things as eye contact with the other driver(s) at a four-way stop sign; noticing the tag number on a car and predicting where it may exit off the interstate; recognizing a car you've seen day after day on your commute and knowing where it's going; and avoiding potholes on a rainy day (unless you've seen it on a dry day, there's no way of knowing how deep it is when filled with rainwater).
I've driven more than two million miles and there's no way a computer can know what I know about driving. There's no substitute for experience.
Not just that, but the title "warrior-philosopher" is an oxymoron. No philosopher worthy of the title would ever be a warrior. A warrior may on occasion dabble in philosophy, but he'd never be called a real philosopher.
Just last night I learned that Popeye had banned me from climbing ladders. Then, for some odd reason, getting in the shower lifted me up to the roof so I got there without a ladder. I thought Popeye would be mad, but he had left the dream. Go figure . . . .
I'd go one step further. Let's identify and hunt down people like Julian Savulescu, and imprison them now. They're the defective ones. Sterilize them before they have the chance to reproduce.
And, for God's sake, never let them attain any leadership roles. Never vote for anyone who spouts such vile things. Don't let them teach. Run them out of your neighborhoods. Julian Savulescu should lose his job and be hounded out of the country. We don't want or need evil people like him.
It's a relatively common name in Sweden and can also be found in Norway. It's a shortened form of the name "Sigrid".
From the Old Norse name Sigríðr, which was derived from the elements sigr "victory" and fríðr "beautiful, fair".
Because Harry Reid just said approximately the same thing about Romney. I say arrest the bastard and throw his ass in jail.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid alleged (totally unsubstantiated, of course) that Mitt Romney paid no taxes for more than a decade, and that his father, the long deceased George Romney, would be embarrassed by his own son.
"His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son."
Earl Staley should sue the officer who grabbed his phone for violation of his rights. When law enforcement officers realize that they can be sued as an individual and THEIR property put at risk, then their attitudes will change.
A law enforcement officer has no immunity if he's violating somebody's civil rights. Sue him and hopefully take everything the idiot owns.
I'm on the road year round and have been for 36 years. I've never had anything stolen, but have had a few minor items thrown away by mistake.
Break into my room when I'm not there and you'll score some clean clothes, some dirty clothes, and some personal care items. Break into my room when I'm there and you'll score a few pieces of lead.
One of the main reasons for installing smart gas meters is to not have to deal with customers like you. The meters are accurate and can be read from a distance. Meter readers who used to read 200 to 300 meters a day can now read 3000 a day, and they don't have to deal with your fences, holly bushes, mean dogs, and bad attitude.
Doesn't help me on my job because I have to physically walk over your service line and be able to touch the meter. I check for leaks, and if I can't do my job because of the bloody obstacle course you've made your yard into, then I just write it down as uncheckable and you're on your own.
Nobody is out to cheat you. The gas company gets cheated way more often than the customer does.

It would have been a great porn movie, though I have seen better acting in porn movies.
I'd bet this method wouldn't work for dogs.

You need to tune in again. The History Channel is now predominately the "pawn shop" channel.
Discovery is the weird jobs channel.
A&E is the law enforcement channel.
HGTV is the real estate channel.
It has all turned to crap.

Don't forget Apple and Steve Jobs!
The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?

A call bullshit on the whole thing.
Maybe he's producing something liquefied and needs some Imodium A-D.

Same here. I used to use Google Shopping, but since they've royally screwed it up, I just head straight to Amazon to search.
I wonder why Google shot themselves in the foot. RIP, Google Shopping!

Way ahead of his time.

And don't forget the politicians!
Appreciate Microsoft? No way, no matter who or what they support or don't support.
I tolerate the stuff they produce, but I don't like it.
Shocked, I tell you, to even think that the Obummer administration would ignore the law!

10 chords?!? A lot of music uses just three - C, F, and G.
And the same old transitions over and over and over and over, song after song after song.
What language is that?

Why not wait until December 21, 2012?
It's a much more fitting date.
