Add that to the long list of other things you don't know.
LOL. Care to make it interesting? Unlike most assholes here, I don't just say shit to make myself feel good, I'll back it up with cash. Care to wager some money that the GOP will take the White House in 2 years?
In a normal world, your argument would be persuasive. But since the GOP has spent the last 30 years jumping every shark they can get, the problem isn't whether Dems can win 2016, it's the whether the GOP can untangle itself from the crazy long enough to not scare off most "independent" voters.
Get on the interstate while high? Spoken like someone who's never smoked. That's fucking crazy talk. Most pot smokers don't even want to drive while high, let alone get on a major highway.
I know the article says that these companies can't afford to ignore china
Well, big companies, like MS, Apple, Oracle, etc.
When you run a small (or more local) business, one of the nice things is being able to avoid certain markets and customers. In fact, unless your future growth (and corresponding funding) aren't a lock, you have to avoid them because all they'll do is destroy your business.
So if the big boys have to jump through ridiculous hoops in order to keep those profit margins sky-high, fuck 'em. That's how the game works.
About your bullshit that democrat politicians are 'better' than republican ones!
Citation, please.
you put them on a damn pedestal
No, it's just that you and your "everybody's the same, hur durr" mentality is so fucking myopic, I'm put int he reasonable position of defending a president, an administration, a party and a country I don't even like all that much. THAT'S how retarded you are.
I mean, you can hate politicians all you want, but treating them as several thousand undifferentiated clones is fucking inhuman.
*in which, if you are talking about the voters, then we are in agreement, but the politicians on both sides are only going over their spreadsheets and leave all the masturbatory philosophizing for you all to fight over.
Sadly, real world events do not conform to that sentence.
philosophizing
No wonder you're clueless if that's what you think is going on.
Well, one of the nice things about being the opposition party is you have to pretend to give a shit about things like unemployment and immigration. Maybe they did it long enough that some of it sunk in.
Politics, especially the kind with any real influence is one big gray mass of corruption.
Once again, repeating a thing doesn't make it true.
It takes a specific kind of person to make any headway in the business.
Gasp! Politics attracts a certain kind of personality!
The 'honest' ones sit on the bench or get the bums rush.
That...doesn't sound as dire as you think it sounds.
nuance
Oh lord, he links to one article detailing a few limp wristed Democrats so my argument is bullshit! Christ, you can do better than that son. (Hint: Try Walter Karp, not Salon if you're going to be making this argument with any kind of fucking rigour.)
That is the objective, not to win, not to lose, just stay in the game.
Yeah, everybody gets into politics because the money is so good. Everybody.
I just find it funny/sad when people standing on the beach tell me there's no water, and then give me shit every time I point out they're soaking in it.
Your view of the world is so Manichean it's a wonder you're not a Republican voter.
Well hell, If you are going to insist that daytime soaps are for real and never back away to see that it's a studio set
Citation needed that:
a) I've made any claims that's my mindset, and
b) That's actually what's going on
You know, all those people win votes, and have lots of real money backing them up.
Gasp! There's money in politics?
Maybe you should take a peek at the support structure you seem to deny that exists.
Citation needed. (In fact, I take these "support structures" more seriously than you do, since you're the one lumping them together into some grey mass).
You leave the impression that you're just another team player.
Perhaps you should look at my comment history, cuz you're definitely getting the wrong impression there.
Sorry if I expected better.
That's hilarious, because your MO is exactly the opposite.
This just isn't my game I guess
Now, you're getting it. Hope for you yet.
but unfortunately I'm stuck in it until the end.
Which would make one think a better appreciation for nuance would be required, lest you spend the next few decades bummed out for the wrong reasons.
With all you guys preaching this 'lesser evil' crap
Lol preaching. Just asking for some evidence of your claims, of which you have none.
it very relevant to point out that the people you advocate are the same as the ones you hate.
Which is great, but repetition won't make it true.
The republicans are no worse than the democrats
Sure. Unless you're a woman. Or a Mexican. Or an atheist. Or a homosexual. Go on, show me where the Dems are busting their asses trying to shut down access to birth control. I'll wait.
and they are no more in opposition than you are with your wife.
Of course they are. You think gaining control of congressional committees is meaningless? What fucking world do you live in?
Yes, Romney's GA would act identical to Holder under the same circumstance.
You have zero fucking evidence for this assertion. Furthermore, looking at former GOP party platforms and administrations, I see fuck all inclination to curb this practice. Please show me the factual basis that underpins this childish assumption.
This is business
Look, he gets something right! Shame you know as little of business as you do politics.
Slashdot Mirror
Hey, Liberals are nazis now, so transparency being fascism is perfectly cromulent in this worldview.
Add that to the long list of other things you don't know.

Hapened about 50 years ago, do keep up old chap.
IT'S ABOUT ETHICS IN GAME JOURNALISM!
Or something like that. I'm sure somebody who takes vidya far too seriously can enlighten us downthread.

Idiot whines when he can't take what he can dish out. News at 11.
You are defending things you want to believe.
Ah yes. Question other people's motivations, see how far that gets you.
In that vein, you're obviously a tool of the elite, here to sow bullshit and apathy to keep the people down. Hope that paycheck is worth it!
All those paragraphs when you didn't read a single word I said...
Fuck is wrong with you?
About your bullshit that democrat politicians are 'better' than republican ones!
Citation, please.

I mean, you can hate politicians all you want, but treating them as several thousand undifferentiated clones is fucking inhuman.
How dare you slander the capitalist utopia that guarantees your freedom to work ANY crappy job you want.
Well then I can clue you in on something. Whatever you're watching/reading spews the same crap about democrats and republicans as the TV.
Which includes you, I presume?
but your speculations are also nothing more than speculation
What speculations? You really suck at specifics.
The party created a monster, they chop one leg off, now they're a hero?
What the fuck are you talking about?
There's your first mistake, watching the TV in the first place.
Second one being that you think I do...
*in which, if you are talking about the voters, then we are in agreement, but the politicians on both sides are only going over their spreadsheets and leave all the masturbatory philosophizing for you all to fight over.

Well, one of the nice things about being the opposition party is you have to pretend to give a shit about things like unemployment and immigration. Maybe they did it long enough that some of it sunk in.
And how can I argue a point that is based on faith?
You're joking, right? That's pretty much all you've been doing.
I'm not in the religious conversion business.
You will prattle on, though. If it walks like a duck...
Cry me a river when you can actually argue a point, not ignore others' and waffle on vaguely about the same shit for years.

Put aside the bullshit.
I wish you would.
ITT: You can't vote on facts! Climate change is totes a hoax, btw.
Guess those basements are climate-controlled....
It's a shame none of that paragraph makes any sense nor is it connected to any real world reality.
Yup. As has been said elsewhere, anyone honestly think President Romney would have done this?
