  1. Where are you all now? on Congressman Calls For Probe Into Trump's Unsecured Android Phone (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    So, all those "but Hillary uses email - lock her up" folks, where are you now? What do you think of this situation?
    Silence?
    There's been so much partisan political bullshit in this place pretending to be about online security but really nothing of the sort.

    You have been conned by the interpretation of the 2nd amendment that twists it in such a way as to suggest that everyone has the same rights as the military without the obligation to serve (that stupid "everyone is already in the militia" interpretation on top of the other stupidity).
    If you want to breed a nation of cowards that's the way to do it.
    Why do you trust Oliver North's line on this and not the line that the founders took?

    I didn't mention Trump. This is about North.

    I should have checked the breaking news first, Russia is now on that list after a spectacularly pointless bit of dick waving by Pence. Russia is going to be held to account for ... what exactly? Did Pence lose his notes?

    It's all as promised just that the hats got the spelling of "grate" wrong after Trump said it.
    He's managed to piss off everyone except Russia already, so it's definitely grating on people.

    You're just a crazy conspiracy theorist nutjob

    So says the guy with the sig "We don't have a state-run media we have a media-run state."

    Perhaps you should follow my example in this case and be polite to people that you think are nutjobs and incredibly naive with it.


    I can get why you are angry. You've been conned for years by a traitor bending a sporting club to his political ends.

    The full text is right there above my post in the earlier post for everyone to see, so of course not, nothing at all similar.
    You are the second person to take me to task on this sort of triviality in the last few days when I've never had that sort of criticism before that in more than a decade on this site.
    Is this some sort of recent fad that comes from a different site where posts are displayed in a different way or are you the same person and you have decided to go AC?

    And secondly, it is really odd that you choose something like an owl wing to base your scientific musings

    Not really - it was reported recently and also outlines that we do not have a universal equation for airflow (no matter how much money has been thrown at it for over a century).

    As for your link, it's the starting point of the people who are trying to understand owl's silent flight so that they can make aircraft quieter. It's a very very long way from where we are now to being able to WORK OUT WHY and make something that can use it.

    Are you one of the people who thinks "dust" is the final answer as to why the sky is blue?

    Oh yes, the end of Science. Thank you Lord Kelvin.
    For one thing we still don't have a clue how owls fly so silently but there are some people working on it with very simplified wing models, so relatively simple stuff from the world around us is still outside our grasp without a lot of time, effort and dead ends. The idea of "that if we throw enough money at something we can make virtually anything we want" is an incredibly toxic cargo cult piece of shit that you should cure yourself of if before it backfires on you (that's if it wasn't an attempt at a joke). I've met people that disconnected from reality and they kept lurching from one fuckup to the next.
    Dreaming is great, taking fantasy from granted not so much.

    Point two is not correct. Take a look at what has happened at the time of each election cycle in Israel to see the timing of the aggression, typically based on an incredibly trivial excuse, and see how it relates the same as elements in the USA referred to in point 1.
    Israel is not the problem. Self-serving people in politics in Israel is the problem.

    but anti-zionist is generally a cover for being anti-Jewish

    That's the line taken to justify being critical of anyone that is critical in any way of whatever government happens to be running Israel at any time. Point out corruption of one official? Anti-Jewish? Point out some criminals in Israel who sold some classified US military gear to China (who then to the horror of those criminals onsold it to Iran) - anti-jewish.
    It's annoying how often that happens.
    It means you have to be carefully complimentary of an opposition party in Israel instead of saying anything about corrupt pricks they are opposing and making sure you don't mention the nationality of actual criminals.
