The major cause of war/unrest in the world isn't skin color, it's religion. I'd be more interested in seeing an openly Atheist president than a black one but I'm not holding my breath on that happening in the USA anytime soon.
Wrong. The major cause of war/unrest is hunger for power and wealth. An openly atheist person is the same thing as an openly racist person. Atheists are against religion. Are you confusing atheist with agnostic? If you look at the average "atheist" on the internet, they are anti-religious bigots who have declare war on the first amendment protection of freedom of religion. If you look at the text of the first amendment:
[QUOTE]
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
[/QUOTE]
http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_Am1.html
The first phrase talks about not establishing a state religion like the church of england which is meant to prevent religious discrimination as occurred in England against the catholics because the Anglican church was the state religion there. The second phrase is there to block congress from passing any laws which would prevent the free exercise of religious freedom. The fact that the first two phrases of the first amendment to the Constitution to me means that they held the right to religious freedom in high esteem. They were not secularists but rather understood the dangers of a "state church" and knew the effects of religious discrimination.
It is sad that it is now being used to censure people who are trying to express and exercise their freedom of religion based on some wrong interpretation of that clause into a "separation of church and state" doctrine. The church, even broken up into multiple denominations played a critical role in shaping your country's past. It served as a conscience for your leaders and an advocate for the poor.
So the Nobel Peace Prize = "I HATE AMERICA" Prize.
Not really. It's meant to be a prize for making the world more peaceful. Giving it to Obama was nuts, and it's now not clear if this prize has any point any more.
And the other world powers that have multicultural prime ministers and presidents are... ? I feel like Obama's Peace Prize was more about transcending race and color finally among the world's super powers. France is super liberal but you'll never seen someone of Algerian descent as their prime minister.
You are a racist if you think it was right to give the Nobel Peace Prize to someone who had done nothing to deserve it but solely based on his race. That is the very definition of racism. Multicultural? Do you mean multi-racial? Again, who cares? There are a lot of multi-racial people around the world but what does their ethnicity have to do with winning a prize for peace making? It is supposed to be based on actions and character, not your background. The fact that they gave him that prize shows that they were racists caught up in hero worship and white guilt.
Rachel Jeantel's testimony makes it clear that Zimmerman put his hands on Martin first.
If you believe that Trayvon Martin called George Zimmerman a creepy ass cracker and believe that Martin assaulted Zimmerman first then you have selectively believed only part of Jeantel's testimony... I wonder why?
I think Jeantel was telling the truth about Martin saying "get off, get off" to Zimmerman just before the phone cut out.
The reality of the situation is that Zimmerman put his hands on Martin first.
Not only is calling someone a "cracker" racist but Zimmerman has a diverse ethnic background. If Zimmerman is "white" then so is Barrack Obama. You have a funny definition of reality also. You beleive the testimony of one witness completely and yet you ignored the ballistics evidence that shows that Martin was on top when Zimmerman fired. Martin was trying to smash his head into the pavement.
Even if Zimmerman was some white guy, it would still be racist to call him a cracker. I hate to break it to you but a lot of nations out there have white people which had absolutely nothing to do with the slave trade in the Americas. Even if his direct ancestors were slave owners or traders, it would still be racist to call him that.
Right. Follow up an anti-racist statement with a prejudiced one. Beautiful.
Pardon? Are you not a human? American is nationality. It is neither a race or ethnicity as your country composed of immigrants and descendants of immigrants. Do you see people Calling Canadian a race of ethnicity? No.
I was speaking the the character of many people in the states. I have met a lot of really nice people but I have also seen many examples of racism entrenched in virtually every ethnicity within the US. It is time to put that racism and talk of slavery behind you. You can remember history without dwelling on it. Unfortunately, many in America keep on dwelling on it rather than learning from it and moving on.
Listen, I don't care if you are black, white, brown, green, purple with blue polka dots. If you hate someone because of their ethnic background or favour someone because of their ethnic background then you are.... wait for it.... a racist. Your particular race is not an excuse for racism.
Why don't you Americans grow the f'up already? There is only one race, the human race.
So does any of that excuse you for being a closed minded racists bigot? In case you did not get the memo from the rest of the world, racists come in all colours. I'm guessing by our language and hate for WASP's that you are not one? Hello Mr. Racist pig. I judge you not by the colour of your skin (don't even know what it is, don't care) but your character. You could be purple with yellow and blue polka dots for all I care.
Black people who attack asians in LA are racists in case you did not get the memo. Black people who attack white people because they are white are equally as racist as white people who attack black people. There is no bullshit concept as "reverse racism".
PS. I have a blood relatives from all of the racial groups in the world in case you feel like calling me a racist.
Let's not forget that the Gospel account clearly illustrates Jesus teaching _against_ formalised self-serving religious elites, and Jesus being executed for doing so. Can anyone think of an appropriate long word beginning with H?
Let us not forget that the bible preaches against moral relativism. For example, some people support gays regardless their actions or behavior but oppose heterosexual adultery and other acts. That is hypocrisy. If you are going to promote morality then it has to apply to all. There are no greater or lesser sins. All sin separates us from god until we repent.
Maybe they want to hide that they were against usury (the term was later rebranded to "interest" to make it sound less evil) and they officially stated that "their opinion about it has not changed"?
So you don't think the mortgage interest rates charged by banks in the 80's (30%) was not usury? Do you consider that to be moral? I consider that to be legalized loan sharking.
I noticed that they criminalized a bunch of different things that should be lauded but the submitter chose to focus on leaks. If you steal a document that does not belong to you and then proceed to "sell" it then you are a thief.
I hate seeing this moral relativism that abounds today.
For example, Snowden did commit a crime, however he should possibly be exonerated because he did what he did to do the "right thing". His motives should matter but what he did was still technically a crime against his employer and country. In the same way, leaks from the Vatican by vatican employees should be viewed in a similar matter. If their actions lead to uncovering of corruption then leniency or even forgiveness should be given.
Here is the problem that we have, some people who are wiling to leak information that is not in the public interest to an interested public for financial gain. That should be a crime.
is the biggest piece of crap I have ever encountered. If you have a lazy eye and are tired, that scanner won't be worth shit. It probably also won't work if you are coming down with something. The iris tends to change over time. Ignoring how stupid and fascist it is, iris scans have been shown to be horribly inaccurate. I use the fingerprint reader to enter the US but I never bother trying the iris scanner to enter Canada anymore and just use the regular customs line.
I've had an operation to correct my eye turn a bit but if I am tired, I am going to have trouble co-ordinating my eye positions.
Racists either support or oppose someone based on their race. If you voted for Obama because he had a black father then you are a racist. I judge people, not by the colour of their skin but by the quality of their character just like Martin Luther King wanted. A person's character can be judged based on their actions and how their actions line up with their words. Obama's actions have been inconsistent with what he promised.
I have blood relatives from several ethnic groups. You assume that if I don't support Obama, that I must be racist. Let be guess, you have some token friends from another ethnicity? Family trumps fake friends and white guilt.
Why do you just google it yourself?
The A5X was faster than the Tegra 3 for gfx benchmarks but the Tegra 3 was faster for CPU benchmarks. For real world performance, the A5X was faster than the Tegra because most real world stuff is highly GPU bound rather than being strictly CPU bound like you would have in an artificial CPU benchmark. For both GPU benchmarks and real world performance, the A5X was faster than a Quad core chip because of a combination of faster CPU and a higher memory bandwidth. The more data you were processing, the less the higher clock speed and more cores helped if you were handicapped by worse bandwidth and the higher overhead of the Android operating system.
I should not have to do the leg work for you. You should be able to prove or disprove my assertions with a simple set of google queries before you start challenging me on my assertions.

So because you believe that you are going to be a good little partisan and continue to vote democrat?
Did you know that Obama's not going to be running again?
I'm pretty sure it's possible to "vote democrat (sic)" without voting Obama.
Your point is? You are still voting for the party apparatus that put him in power. Did you know that Obama was not expected to win the Primaries back in 2008? It surprised many of the people in the democratic party upper echelons and they had to scramble to get their party machine behind him.
Yeah, those obamo voters are fanatics! Almost as unlikely to be swayed by logic as those anti-obama people!
Way to change the subject obama fan. Are you trying to tell us that you like having your rights and freedoms stripped from you? Are you a supporter of the policies?
Listen, if you could never bring yourself to vote for any other party than Democrat, do yourself and your country a favor and at least spoil your ballot or abstain from voting. If you vote democrat in the next election then you are giving tacit approval of those policies implemented by Obama.
Either find a third party to vote for or don't vote because otherwise you are voting in favor of destroying your rights and freedoms.
The apple chips are not just a CPU but a custom SOC (System on a Chip) which includes the CPU and GPU as well as other functions. The reason why Apple A5, A6 etc.. processors wipe the floor with generic chips used in Android phones that are running at even higher clock speeds than the Apple chip is because the Apple versions include a much faster (newer) generation of GPU than the Android chips have as well as other optimizations.
Apple would lose their competitive advantage of more performance per watt/battery hour if they just used off the shelf designs.
bush had his war when 'saddam tried to kill mah daddy!'.
obama now has his war on the american people (and the world, if you consider the core routers to be part of the world's infrastructure).
I used to support obama. but not anymore. not after this.
I bet you are still going to blindly vote for the democratic candidate come next election right? They could kill your own parents and you would still vote from them. Blind partisans like you are getting the government that you deserve. You voted Obama in twice.
"Consumers would prefer to see a standards-based system that allows the interface of their existing mobile OS of choice duplicated or extended on an in-dash touchscreen, while having audio redirected from their device to the vehicle's speakers. Start focusing on technologies like Miracast"
Consumers want easy. The average consumer has never heard of Miracast.
Would the submitter please stop trying to speak for all consumers or even the majority of them? If you are excited about Miracast then you are obviously out of touch with the average person.
