  1. Re:To much convenient on Indian School Textbook Says Meat-Eaters Lie and Commit Sex Crimes · · Score: 2

    ...thus, the prices are below what vegetables cost!

    Aren't the prices for EVERYTHING below what they cost in India? Its a little like Europe's Mexico as far as I can tell.

    Hitler was a pretty notorious vegan. I wonder if the Indian books mention him much. GODWIN!!!

    Leave it to legislatures to make a simple rule regarding freedom much more complicated than it really needs to be.

  4. Re:FUCK BRITS on In UK, Twitter, Facebook Rants Land Some In Jail · · Score: 1

    There is a HUGE difference between stating an opinion and getting caught on camera rioting. I find it incredibly scary that both can land you in jail in Britain. Its almost as scary as the problems in the states men have when women accuse them of rape. Don't like a bloke? Accuse him of raping you and watch the establishment utterly crush him for you. Don't care for a chap? Accuse him of some kind of hate speech.

    No, some British organizations sought an alliance with Hitler BEFORE the war. And by some I mean SOME, a FEW. Remember the world was just coming out of a massive recession and some people in the Anglo world looked at Germany's recovery and Hitler's leadership as a miracle. Some people before the war thought Nazism might be the answer to their problems. After the war started, however...

    It's really none of your business unless you live there. You have no right to judge.

    If China were Myanmar I might be inclined to agree with you, but its not. China is not an "emerging power", its arrived, and what she does affects people around the world. So, yes, everyone has a right to judge. I find it interesting that people around the world feel like they have the right to judge the US in exactly the same vein, so yeah, we have the right. Aside from the voluminous human rights violations and atrocities China commits on a daily basis inside, they've taken to picking fights with neighbors like Taiwan, Japan, and S. Korea, they have no problem voting down UN motions to censor and even deny aid to the people of Syria, occupying Tibet, and generally causing their own brand of mischief, so, yeah, I feel empowered to criticize them directly. Good thing I'm not a Chinese citizen, huh?

    That Apple completely ignored absolutely legitimate tech patents but "invented" a rectangle with rounded corners makes you sad for Apple? I think I'm sick to my stomach...

  11. Re:700,000 dollar on AT&T To Pay $700,000 For Overcharging Consumers · · Score: 3

    AT&T has a duty, as a huge, multinational cororation, to play by the rules, I agree. All such entities do. But this anti-business atmosphere in this country is not good for business. The free market doesn't work if you disallow the profit motive. Few people invest, which is the engine that drives the market, for completely altruistic reasons. If you remove all profit from the risky action of investment you stifle business. We're already seeing businesses flee from California, If you drive them out of the country all you get are a bunch of jobless altruists. Private investors DON'T HAVE to invest in you, there's where you're missing the picture. Unless you like the way China is doing business I guess. But then they really haven't been communist for 20 years...

    Agreed. You whiny bitches appear to be expecting a drop-in replacement for Active Directory. If that's the expectation I think you're gonna be very disappointed. For sundry and basic AD duties Samba4 is great contender. If you want all the bells and whistles your gonna need to fork up that license fee.
