In yet other news...90% of abortions are performed in the first trimester, before the fetus has the brainpower of the average housefly.
FTFY.
I'm libertarian on most things.
So you're one of those people who oppose abortion AND oppose any social services to either care for that fetus or ensure it has a decent life when it comes out 6 months later. Tell us again how pro-life you are....
It's strange that after a decade, if the only thing that Apple had going for it was cult behavior, that no one else has figured out how to create their own cult......
We buy Android phones because we want to buy Android phones. Got it?
That's your problem....we got it just fine. And the reason why many geeks buy Android phones? Because they evaluate products by billeted lists, and one of the more noticeable ones has tilted the other way, if only briefly.
It's only "really impressive" until Samsung releases a smartphone with their vaporware, but then it will only be "really impressive" until the iPhone 5s comes out with an even newer processor!
I'm arguing you are out of your freaking mind by comparing patents to rape. To see who's right, why don't you call the nearest rape crisis hotline and ask them if willful patent infringement is the same thing as wearing a short skirt to a bar. The person with fucked up views here isn't Apple or the parent poster.
Because UHC provides better care for less money than the for-profit insurance industry, who are and always have been the real "death panels" as they find new ways to jack up your rates while denying you coverage.
So, most Democrats voted against this bill while an overwhelming majority of Republicans voted for it, and somehow you've concluded that the Democrats are just as bad. This logic is really pretty twisted.
Another apples to batshit irrelevant oranges "comparison". Whatever it is you guys are smoking, I hope you brought enough for everyone, because you're out of your freaking minds.
So Samsung's buddy Google warned Samsung to put some different clothes on, and that makes what Apple did OK. Gotcha.
So how does the fact that Samsung was suing Apple in the same case fit into your cute little rape analogy? Speaking of, I wonder what someone who has actually suffered a sexual assault would think of your flippant comparison to.....a patent suit.
But it is the largest spill in history. You only get "larger" ones by either using the lowball estimates from those wanting to save face (U.S. gvt and BP) or by adding up all the individual spills (most of which were deliberately set as opposed to being accidents) from the Gulf War and counting them as one "big" spill.
And aside from the Persian Gulf war, nothing has come close to dumping this much oil straight into a huge body of water like the Gulf of Mexico.
Yes, but which one that is is open to interpretation because "fair share" are words seeking emotional involvement, rather than reasoned thought.
It was a general statement about general positions, not a dissertation. A bit beside the point, though, when we know how much we can trust Obama's sincerity in general and on the issue of the wealthy paying more of their share in taxes in particular. Because after he won election with ending the Bush Tax cuts as part of his stump speech, he happily signed their extension at the end of 2010.
Are you always this bad at saying what you mean? The nation is talking about marriage, not couplehood.
You know what he means. What the Obamabots like to leave out of Obama's "evolution" on gay marriage: sure, he supports it, but he also supports the rights of states to ban it. That a black man is endorsing a "states rights" position either doesn't occur to them or bounces off their reality distortion field.
He did that when he broke his pledge to filibuster the bill. The various bogus rationalizations he offered were comical, since the bill was about passing telecom immunity, and only telecom immunity. Because the extra law enforcement powers Bush was demanding were already authorized till the end of his term in office....
That argument went out the window when Kagan said cops could search your residence without a warrant if they say they think they hear you destroying evidence.
And, of course, there's the almost inconsequential fact that Obama agrees with the GOP appointed extremists on the court when it comes to getting his Unitary Executive on.
You're kind of a fool. Obama is the leader of the Democratic party, which, thanks to Democrats like Obama, is now behind domestic spying as much as Bush was.
If he said "hey, we got Osama, now lets get back to normal", you're kidding yourself if you think there would be enough Democrats to overrride his veto right before the national election.
Nevermind that Samsung also sued Apple. Nevermind that the iPhone was banned for two years in Korea.
The Galaxy S III is competitive with even the iPhone 5 (though its app ecosystem may not be quite as good) and the Galaxy Note is far superior to the Apple phones.
Fanboy tautologies that would be mocked if they were coming from Apple users.
Why people can't just be happy that there is innovation and competition in the smartphone market....
Kerry, Bush had similar grades at Yale, Comparing the academic record of Al Gore, John Kerry and George W. Bush, John McCain's academic record, Gore's Dubious School Record.
Nonsense. For one, we already know that Obama graduated Sigma Cum Laude. For another, it's slight of hand to pretend talk of known grades is the same thing as demanding the release of college transcripts, which has never been an issue at least in any modern presidential election.
But it is a fair comparison.
It's pathetic teabagger drivel, since everyone knows that Obama was talking about transparency in government. What's really sad, though, is Obama has plenty of actual hypocrisy on his actual promise to ding him for. Vowing to hold health care hearings on CSPAN, then the same backroom deals with literally the same lobbyist that he attacked in 2008. Vowing to protect whistleblowers and then prosecuting more whistleblowers than all past presidents combined. Promising to limit the influence of lobbyists, only to have his staff meet with them at coffee shops to get around the White House visitor log.
But wingers take a winning argument against Obama, and somehow manage to turn it into irrelevant junior high school bullshit. Amazing, really....it's like they've become so addicted to sophistry that they continue to use it when sitting in front of their noses is a valid case to be made....
Yes, engaging in Pedantic Poutrage to ignore the point is ridiculous. He's engaging in a 10% less anal leakage parody and you're whining that it's actually 23.67%.
The pictures of dead fish sure prompt a lot of people to get upset I'm sure but it does not make this event even remotely unprecedented in nature.
Drivel. The largest spill in history is by definition unprecedented. And of course the problem with pointing to previous natural disasters that lead to extinction events for "comparison" is the, you know, extinction event that followed.
Because you also substitute ideology for reality as needed? Calling Social Security a "Ponzi scheme" is beyond drivel, as it did not make millionaires of the first people to get in the program at the expense of everyone that followed.
It's gone up a lot in the last few years mostly under Obama.
Which you know is because of:
1) The Bush Tax Cuts 2) Unfunded wars 3) Economic collapse due a lack of banking regulation
Obama has of course chosen to continue all of these conservative, Bush era policies, making continued deficits and a probable second collapse his responsibility. If he were just the raging liberal you wingers made him out to be, that wouldn't be the case.
That's not always true. There was a huge problem in 2008 with banks hording cash, closing peoples credit cards, etc. They had money, but would not loan it to people. Even businesses had a hard time getting liquid assets.
Sure sure...but that's because the banks were completely insolvent. The only reason BOA and Citi are still around is that the Treasury department bailed their asses out with trillions in zero interest loans. Their "way out" is to sit on every penny and try to think of new ways to gouge their customers until they are solvent again.

Only if you stupidly classify shooting trespassers and fleeing burglars as "self-defense".
So, you're a conservative, and thus proud of your willful ignorance and wanton asshattery rather than ashamed of it.

Says the guy making a link-free assertion about Apple and Garmin.

Resist? Domestic spying, along with invading Iraq, was one of the first items on the Bush/Cheney agenda after they took office in January 2001....
