Many people seem to forget that Iran and Iraq were very popular places to visit - democratic, secular, wealthy, and progressive. Then the west started fucking with them from all sides (and from within), in order to get at their tasty oil, and since then things have gone to pot. There were intrinsic issues with both countries, but they were seriously exacerbated by the incessant meddling, and that is something no country should have to go through.
A dodgy translation was the source of that first quote. He actually said he hoped the Israeli regime would collapse, something many people across the world (including western Europe and the US) also hope for. Those other quotes were in response to those countries voting to impose sanctions on Iran, and came from the First Vice President, who is essentially a puppet in the regime. He's marginalised within his own country - why anyone else in the world listens to him is beyond me. But then I guess it makes good press, which people (like yourself) seem to lap up.
If you seriously think "fuck Iran" you must also think "fuck Israel", as they are both playing the same fucking game. The only difference is Iran is helping the underdog, and has an actual valid case. Their actions are not valid, but their cause is.
You can't seriously think that providing aid makes up for the US toppling democracies and installing dictators, or selfishly riding roughshod over the futures of other countries, can you? Yes, the US does some great humanitarian things. All countries do, if given the opportunity. That is not something special that gives the US any kind of "get out of shit free" card. You're essentially saying "hey! don't charge me with murder! I gave $300 to the Salvation Army earlier this year! I'm the good guy!". I can tell you're an idiot, as you keep using the words "we", "our", and "us" to describe the actions of people other than yourself. I surmise that you're most likely right-wing, patriotic, and an avid supporter of the US military, which would explain your rather pathetic grasp on this specific section of reality.
It's not a "super government", asshole. It's not even close. It's a forum, containing much-needed diplomacy. It's apparent you don't know what that word means.
The elections in Iraq have been a sham. Most voters don't have a clue who they're voting for, let alone their positions. Access to media (in order for opposition parties to get their voices heard) is only for those in power, it seems. That first election they had was a pathetic endeavour in theatre designed to justify the conflict. As I'm sure you'll agree, voting is a lot more than simply putting a tick in a box and getting a purple thumb.
"Cabernet Sauvignon", perhaps, and not sounded like some inbred hick who watched Sideways and now judges his importance through knowledge of wines and how staunch his "individual" take on the whole scene is?
Deutsche Bahn is still very good. The ICE trains are fantastic, and even the regiobahn in most of the country is great. It's definitely good value for money. Switzerland's are pretty good, too, as you mentioned. The only relation is that private companies exist to turn a profit, whereas nationalised companies exist to provide a service.
The charges? The ones that looked and sounded exactly like the air in the towers, compressed by falling floors above them, exploding out of the windows? Oh, right.
Wow. Talk about dumb. The amount of insane idiocy in your post is simply staggering. But I'm sure you think you're perfectly sane and not a hate-filled flag-wanker.
And stomping all over the people holding the beliefs only serves to make them more steadfast. It gives them the enemy they want, and the opportunity to attack that they need.
This is something new. This is a car that is being designed with containing a mobile hotspot in mind. That is something considerably different to "everyone loves internets to lets put some in a box and let the dealer screw it to some metal and hope the signals aren't screwed up by the large metal chassis and wires". If you can't see the difference, then, wow, I guess:)

HTML5.
Serious question: shouldn't they be spending that money on feeding the poor, or was Jesus just full of shit?
It is OK? The card uses the USB2.0 connection (and not PCIe), so it's limited to 480Mb/s. I'd hardly call that OK :)
"Would buy" != "Already buy".

No, what he promised to change was barely noticeable next to the massive amounts of shit that spews out of the US in the form of its foreign policy.
I didn't know you could see into the future. Amazing!

Europe is larger than the US, including Alaska.
Bullshit. Massive amounts of steamy bullshit. That is the most retarded thing I've read on slashdot in a while. Wow. Republican, much?
The charges? The ones that looked and sounded exactly like the air in the towers, compressed by falling floors above them, exploding out of the windows? Oh, right.
You should take a look at what the definition of "terrorist" is, and then re-read your post, and then hang your head in shame. What is wrong with you?
Wow. Talk about dumb. The amount of insane idiocy in your post is simply staggering. But I'm sure you think you're perfectly sane and not a hate-filled flag-wanker.

Which is illegal in some places, such as the UK.
That won't change a fucking thing. People will still do drugs, and there's nothing wrong with that.
"Terrorism" is a means. "Freedom fighter" is a motive. The two are not mutually exclusive.
