So what you're saying is, my choices are the evil libertarians, who want to take all the money in the name of freedom, thus making me downtrodden; or the good helpful large government, who wants to take all the money in the name of helping the downtrodden, thus making me downtrodden.
You act as if the two are mutually exclusive. In fact, the very same porn might have been kept on Backblaze's servers BECAUSE the users weren't able to get their own drives!
I once ate breakfast at a friend's house as a child, and they served pancakes. So I grabbed the maple syrup, loaded up my pancakes, only to discover that this family used CORN SYRUP. That's the most horrid lump of sticky awful I've ever encountered, and it still haunts me to this day.
There comes a point in life where people you meet and interact with don't care that you had a fucked up life, or you were beaten, or your parents were evil, or you have any number of problems. They just care that you're an asshat. And write you off as one. Not everyone has time to sit around and ponder "hmm, i wonder if he had a bad childhood". An example of this is job interviews. Act like an ass, you're gone. poof. It's life, it's just how it is.
Why did the company choose Burma for the original name of the product? Was Burma particularly well known for perfectly shaved men? Or was China Shave already taken, and they were going for the far east thing?
Because to the domestic audience he can claim he's being arrested not for free speech, but for parole violation. See, no free speech violation here! For international Middle east consumption, he can claim just that he's being arrested. See, US no hate Islam! Win-win
India Don't like China: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Indian_War I think at best they'd probably just arm up the border and sit tight, though I really don't see them helping out China.
I'm an American conservative, and I don't care if you're blue, green, white or brown: you're still a dick. Or should I run on the old diatribe that your'e a communist? No, wait, I don't go with the knee jerk stereotypical viewpoints, so I won't.
replace "guns" with "popular boy singer" and you've just described lots of teenage girls' facebook accounts. I'm sure a coin collector might rattle on about coins. car enthusiasts spend all day on vehicle minutiae.
You should ignore the "facts" if you never actually saw the homeless guy, but were relying on news reports and other people telling you, in breathless tones, about how crazy the guy on the corner is. That's what we're getting in this election cycle: all news has been spun and blended. think about it this way, what headlines have you been seeing:
"Romney gaffes about windows on planes opening" "Romney calms wife with joke about plane" "Romney bravely carries on in face of wife's danger".
And by stupidly burning the power, they would have been fulfilling that agreement. There wasn't anything in the contract about using power and specifiying that it has to be for useful purposes. Instead, they told the power company what they were planning,and asked for a rate reduction. If the power company had said no, they would have continued wasting to meet the terms of the contract. To be honest, if it was reduced in scope to a personal level, and I had the same contract, I probably would have wasted power as well.
Yes, but what you're not realizing is, your goodwill and happy thoughts do absolutely NOTHING for helping those people halfway around the world, other than make you feel a bit smug.
You decrying greedy capitalist= dead starving people greedy capitalist running around with a pitchfork charging for things= dead starving people.
They don't care that you care. They care that they're starving.
OK, you confuse me. Your earlier post was knocking Romney, and now you're saying you DON'T live in the US? So you're taking part in our election from the sidelines and rooting for one of the teams? wow. just wow.

Gee, thanks.

THIS is what passes as +5 interesting? Wow, the trolls are apparently moderating now as well.

I miss Dr. Bob...i was always wondering how he would swing things around to chiropractic health.

Yeah, but he acknowledges the sock puppet account.
I'd presume he was more troll-y if he pretended it wasn't him.
Because to the domestic audience he can claim he's being arrested not for free speech, but for parole violation. See, no free speech violation here!
For international Middle east consumption, he can claim just that he's being arrested. See, US no hate Islam!

This discussion has me so confused, I believe I just soiled my pants.
You base your knowledge of the US elections on a comedy news show?
You might wanna rethink that.
Hey, i hear the aquarium is pretty good there, have you seen... oh, wait, nevermind!

Does the "innocence of the muslims" film then qualify as hate speech?
