I'm afraid I don't get the reference, but I get the point. It's better than killing/wounding.
My point was the comparison between these two concepts:
1. Islamic extremists kill people because their beliefs differ (infidels) or because of something they said (Muhammad cartoons etc). 2. U.S. soldiers kill people because they have resources the U.S. needs.
I'm not excusing our actions or saying it is OK, but I am saying there is a world of difference between the two. #2 is, with a zoomed out enough lens, potentially acceptable or at least understandable. #1 is always wrong.
My point is I believe the "no true scotsman" thing to be a pile of bullshit and a copout for people who want to tear down an argument without putting any work into it.
In September 2012 it was reported by The Atlantic that Terry Jones was involved in the promotion of a movie vilifying Islam, titled Innocence of Muslims. The movie led to protests in Egypt and Libya. In Cairo, protesters breached the wall of the U.S. Embassy and burned the flag. The U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was largely burnt and looted; killing Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other American citizens.[26] Jones screened the film for his followers on September 11, 2012, a day he dubbed, "International Judge Mohammad Day"
So, in order to protest the film, they all went and proved the film right?
How many of those rampages were triggered by a film/cartoon/whatever referencing their religion? Oh, right, it has nothing to do with the topic of discussion.
Also, shut up about the No True Scotsman bullshit. We are not talking about Scotsman, it does not apply.

Works fine for me, since my own learning was not so specific that I can't function without things being static.
I can understand if maybe you have a learning disability, but if you don't you have nobody to blame but yourself.
Just because JASC or Photoshop or Paint.NET or whatever put it there, doesn't mean it's the best place to put it (if there is even such a thing).
Sounds like MATE is what you want/need.
Shame you didn't log in, as you're probably never going to come back and find this, are you?
You can't quantify "usable" in that way. Sorry, thanks for playing.
SIGNAL TO NOISE! Diminishing... oh so tiny.... oh look, where did the signals go?
How do you think these dicks fund themselves? They hook up the Founding Fathers to some dynamos and sell the electricity.

Your "joke" is bad and you should feel bad.

I fail to see how that has anything to do with what I said.
If you want to reply to someone - by all means. But at least reply to the right person.

Well that was a total failure on my part. You get my point though.
To further distil your point:
_______ [b]extremists[/b] are the problem. Fill in the blank, it doesn't matter - the word in bold is the part that does.
That doesn't mean we should welcome it's coming and do nothing to delay it.

No, the U.S. kills for resources
... and somehow you think this is the same thing?
Here, if you don't/can't see the video..
It doesn't just let you see what you're doing either. Watch the video yet?
Holy shit!
You have teeth, lips, and hands. Birds don't.
Asking stupid questions != inquisitive.
Good point, but my point should still be legible.
Nope.
Indeed. It would be amusing to see a little cropduster with one of those Honeywell flight computers....
If the backup copy is just one copy, you're still better off - because currently each crew-member has their own.
