That's embarassing. The Netherlands is the name of the country. Holland is the name of two of its 12 provinces (North Holland & South Holland). So no, comparing it to Germany not being called Deutschland in English is flat-out wrong. It would be like someone calling the US "Carolina", and then insisting that they're right.
1. Paid huge amounts of money to the taliban, allowing them to do what they are currently doing 2. Frequently undermined democracy, installed dictators, for its own gain
I think the real issue is that it is expected that every US politician scream the virtues of democracy, yet those same politicians have time and time again worked towards the destabilisation of democracies around the world, leading to tyranny and death on a huge scale. Most countries simply aren't so massively hypocritical.
... which doesn't matter at all, as Amigas are shit when compared to modern PCs. I think that's the point a lot of fanboys don't seem to get - it doesn't matter.
If Steam goes down due to bankruptcy, or simply being closed down, Gabe Newell (Valve's CEO) said they'd turn off authentication for all games. They've tested it, apparently, and it works a charm. So nothing would need to be done. Your downloaded games would still work just as they did before.
Gabe Newell, the CEO of Valve, said that in the event of the company going bust, they'd disable authentication (which they have apparently successfully tested), allowing people to play the games without Valve's servers being there.
Oh I totally agree. Your analogy is a bit flawed though, as a more apt analogy in this case would be a device that has a long history of not even caring to send the right bits, and instead hoping that the receiving device cares enough about the data to try to reconstruct it from whatever error-correction data that's available. Should all devices keep choking down the endless stream of half-assed bullshit, or should they try to inform the malfunctioning device that it is, in fact, fundamentally fucked in the head? Questions, questions...
Hmm. I don't think so. The English longbow was used by peasants, and they could fire much further, much faster, with more force, and for less money, than any crossbow. True, the archers had to be specially trained from a very young age (preferably while still growing to allow the bones in their bow arm to grow thicker - skeletons with one thick arm and one thin arm have been found in large numbers, I seem to recall), and train for years. The only saving grace of the crossbow was that the untrained could use it (be they peasants or nobility). So I'd say that the longbow was the first really democratic weapon, not the crossbow.
Not to mention hemp fibre can make some very nice paper, and the seeds contain more protein than soya. Plus it can grow anywhere (hence the 'weed' moniker - it does grow like one). Oh, and the seeds can be used to make oil, which can fuel cars, or be used for cooking. It really is a fantastic plant. I can't find the quote, but I read that some doctor said that if cannabis was discovered this year, growing in some remote mountain valley, it'd be hailed as the new penicillin - a wonder-drug for the 21st century.
The real problem with people calling other people socialist, is that being socialist isn't a bad thing. Socialism is the realisation that most people are too god-damned selfish to realise they don't exist in a vacuum.
The tard runs deep with this one. Only one of those points has any merit, namely the Pelosi advert (even though Bush did, as every shred of evidence has pointed to, start a major war based on lies, which is a very simplistic analogy with what Hitler did). Bushorchimp.com was not paid for, commissioned by, or approved of, by a Dem politician. The irregularities surrounding the 2000 election have been widely documented, but due to the nature of the irregularities, there is no evidence of actual tampering, just shit-loads of evidence of people ensuring that the system could be tampered with. The statistical anomalies alone were enough to make people sit up and take notice - the testimony from the makers, testers, and independent analysis was enough to make people straight-up shit in their cornflakes.
What the OP was referring to was that the crazy you referred to (albeit rather inaccurately) does exist on both sides. The difference is, on the Republican side, it's actually accepted at higher levels. Actual elected officials are saying this nonsense.
Or, you know, we could have skipped this entire discussion by you using language correctly. Minds far more brilliant than yours and mine realised the importance of angles, and so made a unit to describe just that, independent of any other side of the shape in which the angle resides. It's strange that you don't want to use it. But them I'm reminded of you not knowing the difference between humanoid, human, and hominid, So it's hardly surprising you're choking on words again.
And yes, ATS banned me, as they don't want people calling out other people's bullshit (yours included), due to that costing them advertising impressions. I'll be back, though, as I always am, to try to kick some sense into the retarded fools on ATS (yourself included).
You are confusing marriage with procreation. In the past the two were not as entwined as they are now. People got married very young, but had families later on, when physically possible.

Where did I make that point? Oh, that's right, I didn't. Awesome work!
And eyewitness testimony is fantastically inaccurate. Your point?
Your example of ruthless war describes US troop actions in Vietnam rather accurately, and that was only 40 years ago.
WTC 7 had massive vats of diesel fuel in it, which was ignited through damage from WTC 1 & 2. This is common knowledge.
All the weapons they were shipping on it didn't help, either.
You missed some US flaws:
1. Paid huge amounts of money to the taliban, allowing them to do what they are currently doing
2. Frequently undermined democracy, installed dictators, for its own gain

It's a shame no one made a module to take sand out of vaginas. It sounds like you need one.

Because tricorders suck ass and are for silly little girls, of course ;)

You can't see the difference? Wow. No wonder.
Sure, if you are retarded enough to think that name is an accurate description of the party, and the guiding philosophy behind it. (Hint: it's not).
... and ensure that the sites you wish to use will lose money. Awesome! Selfishness FTW!
I think you'll find most people know right from wrong when they are children. But nice try.
Nothing the post you replied to says there isn't better QA for servers. You just seemed to read that into there somewhere.

That's not why people don't want him extradited. Not even close.
