You're desperate to make any excuse you can, huh? Your translation demonstrates you probably don't know what you're talking about. This is not a copy of Flight Simulator running on a 14" CRT with a Logitech Wingman Extreme.
Because fighter jets can fire more than one missile, have counter measures, and other weaponry which might be of use. They are also inherently reusable.
He didn't run away to Russia. He was in transit when the US revoked his passport. The media outlets who ran with Snowden's releases did scrub them. Your arguments are based on someone's perception of the facts, not the facts themselves. It's rather sad to see you condemning someone based on nonsense.
Reasons which are not the reasons these pardons are being used. It's weird people have such a bee in their ass about some parts of the founding fathers' ideas and not others.
It's not for free, though. They have to support the Linux version, which requires having trained technical support staff and an entire Linux testing facility to ensure it actually works as they are advertising it to. It's not as simple as you seem to think it is...
That is a false dichotomy. If you honestly think that is the only alternative, you probably shouldn't be commenting on this subject until you fix that...
Stop making such ridiculous generalisations. There are socialists of all different flavours. Your grouping together of disparate groups and then using that to make some kind of points is never going to work. Sure, your argument can seem valid just by looking at the words, but once you realise it's based on some incredibly flawed assumptions, it quickly loses its merit. You use "them", "they", "socialists", etc. as if they are all the same people with identical thoughts. Amazing.
Or they just want to make smaller phones, which is what they've been saying for years while having this exact same discussion.
Don't claim something to be true when all you have is a bad gut feeling and contempt. It's not becoming. Plus this doesn't affect you, so your faux outrage is misplaced and rather sad.
They're also usually larger, which is not good when you're trying to make phones as slim as possible, which Apple has stated is the reason behind losing the 3.5mm jack.
I'm no Apple fan, but they have been discussing removing the 3.5mm jack for a while because it necessitates a thicker frame for the phone. The discussion was started when phones were racing towards being the skinniest, when people really cared about that. Unless you have some actual evidence on your side, it might make sense to rescind your claims. I know it's fun to hate on Apple and to delve into conspiracy theories which suit your personal impression of Apple, but all you'll do is look like a kook with nothing better on their hands than to engage in faux outrage at something that doesn't affect them. If the future is as bleak with these phones as you seem certain it will be, then other manufacturers will snap up the people abandoning their iDevices with phones and tablets with 3.5mm ports.
No, it's for 27-year-old musicians who died unexpectedly and/or violently - overdose, violence, suicide etc. Yelchin was in a band briefly, but they broke up. I don't think he would fit in the club.
You might want to read up on the Stasi before making such a trite comparison which demonstrates nothing but your utter ignorance of the subject matter.
True, but if you can't get a gun, it's very difficult to kill a bunch of people with a knife. That's why soldiers carry guns into battle and not swords. We've seen this in countries with sensible gun control - lunatics either use antique weapons which break, or have to resort to knives. If they are backed by more effective groups they can get heavier weaponry, but that stands out like a sore thumb in such countries.
But gun laws do work. It's not as if this is an untried experiment - there are many countries with strict gun laws, and they reap the benefits of not having stuff like this happen every other week. There are next to no mass shootings, people don't need guns for self defence (as those they need to defend themselves against are incredibly likely to not be armed with a gun), the police aren't on edge because every traffic stop or pat down might end up in a shoot-out, and so on and so on.
"He couldn't be stopped because he wasn't doing anything criminal, right up until the moment he did." is the folly of not having gun laws. If strict gun laws were in place he would have broken the law the very second he attempted to gain his weapon, and we wouldn't be having this discussion.
There was an armed individual in the club - Officer Adam Gruler, member of OPD since 2001. He was armed, in uniform, and completely incapable of reacting, as you can't really shoot into a crowd of people and expect to only hit the assailant.
You might want to change your argument, as the facts seem to disagree with your little dangerous fantasy.
The security had guns, but clearly one can't start shooting into a crowd and hope to only hit the perpetrator. Throw some more guns into the mix and you'd end up with people trying to be the "good guy with a gun" they hear so much about, and shooting the shit out of each other every time a car backfired or a champagne cork popped.
If you live in a place where you feel you need to carry a gun, it's too late for you. That's not civilization, it's pathetic.
Those wars were not won or lost by fat accountant weekend warriors who've watched too much Red Dawn, lacking logistical support, training, and anything approaching a chain of command. The conflicts you named did use guns, true, but the real danger faced by those fighting were explosives - either IEDs, mortars, artillery, dropped/shot from aircraft, etc. Guns were used, but they were not even close to being the decisive weapon.
Ask someone who came back from Iraq or Afghanistan what their biggest fear was - rifles or IEDs?

Or maybe most people like it, and your UI desires are not representative of most people? Naaaah that can't be it!
The close-up images are, the rest is usually not.
Possible hearing damage is a lot better than them being killed. You are really bad at this "being a human" thing. To you, humanity seems a weakness.
You are amazingly naive.

What amazingly short-sighted logic.

That is a false dichotomy. If you honestly think that is the only alternative, you probably shouldn't be commenting on this subject until you fix that...
So according to you every single court the world over behaves exactly the same..!
If you want to complain about something at least do it with a modicum of ability. That was just pathetic to read.

It seems you don't have any idea how any of this works.

You might want to read up on the Stasi before making such a trite comparison which demonstrates nothing but your utter ignorance of the subject matter.
And you seem to think that using a gun or using firebombs are of equal ease to be in the position to do the killing, which is clearly not the case...
