Our generation was no part of those atrocities. Blaming us for actions that took place over 70 years ago is pretty insidious.
You however sanctioned and continue to sanction the current government with your vote.
Oh and of course in exchange for the Marshall plan you are so fond of, you've got our gold as hostage.

What, you didn't know? how inconvenient...
Again, stay the hell away.
True. How very true. But since everything has a consequence, please don't come to my country (Germany) never in your life.
You are not welcome anymore. Go to Las Vegas, gamble a bit, see Disneyland and absorb all the culture your society has produced. Don't bother coming here. Spy on me from where you are and don't hope for reconciliation any time soon./Vented:)
True. However Obama can release ANY and ALL prisoners at will - and blame it on Congress - and would still be right, as you astutely pointed out. But since it is all very convenient for him, he won't do it. So there facts for our skeptical friend: Obama can still close the joint at will.
Usually these kinds of "phobias" are described as fear, prejudice, hatred, discrimination, or hostility towards the object of the "phobia".
But our Barilla guy did not any show any of these: disapproval was all it took to get labeled. I call shenanigans. And as a psychologist I am terribly upset by the lack of harsh positioning on the APA's side. While they disapprove of liberal use of clinical terminology they do not do anything more.
It is one of the most obscene and vulgar uses of a non-scientific term. Not only it isn't a valid scientific construct (Homophobia is not listed in any version of DSM and/or ICD) but it masquerades as one (since it has the suffix -phobia) which makes it even more dangerous.
It implies a disorder when there is none making your "opponent" defending his ideas from an untenable position.
The one who came up with this idea is a genius and should go to hell.
We pay taxes to the government. We expect services in return. If this government is unable to return the services we pay for, then yes, it the government doing wrong not the corporations. The government is invested with POWER by the people. It should very much exercise that power.
Those anarcho-capitalists want a small and powerful gov. not a big and weak one.
Please do. I am just a psychologist lurking on tech sites and being a IT Fan since I was 10. Even so, I have my share of problems understanding some things.
What should I expect form a VPN like Airvpn, and what good is it for?
You just sound like all those blacksmiths who complained that the car will destroy the horse shoe industry. And it did!:) And that wasn't that bad either.
Steve Jobs also paid those taxes as he grounded his company. He also paid taxes like you do, in order "to buy civilization", like it is always quite fondly quoted around here.
So he "bought" his civilization: infrastructure, laws etc. and he did something with it.
You should not be happy with the Apples ability to manipulate the situation, but that is the point: the real power is the power invested BY YOU to YOUR GOVERNMENT. So, yeah. The Gov. should fix those holes.
You named 3 casualties. All, rare accounts of drug induced behavior modifications. Because I feel very generous today, I will give you 10 more, with no questions asked.
On the other hand the number of innocent victims in drug related drive-by shootings and other violence forms is enormous.More than 8,000 corpses left across Mexico (alone) since 2006 have not been identified, according to the National Human Rights Commission, a government-run body. At the same time, more than 5,000 people who have disappeared during the drug violence sweeping the country have never been tracked down, according to the commission. (REUTERS).
You are absolutely right. that is the whole problem. People like him help forming mainstream opinions that are flat out wrong, but nevertheless are decisive in policy making. End I end up paying with my hard earned euros some unfounded scientific fact.
Sorry. Show me a model made between 1995 and 2010 that fits the observed data of the last decade. Not one single fits. They were enough for policy making though.
I hold nothing but skepticism for the people who say "scientific consensus!". Because for the Piltdown Man to turn from consensus to hoax it took 45 years. And many reputations of the people who said it was a hoax with it.
Of course now Lovelock is declared to be a nut, an extremist, on the alarmist edge. But before he was:
- elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974. He served as the president of the Marine Biological Association (MBA) from 1986 to 1990, and has been an Honorary Visiting Fellow of Green Templeton College, Oxford (formerly Green College, Oxford) since 1994. He has been awarded a number of prestigious prizes including the Tswett Medal (1975), an ACS chromatography award (1980), the WMO Norbert Gerbier Prize (1988), the Dr A.H. Heineken Prize for the Environment (1990) and the RGS Discovery Lifetime award (2001). In 2006 he received the Wollaston Medal, the Geological Society's highest Award, whose previous recipients include Charles Darwin. He became a CBE in 1990, and a Companion of Honour in 2003.
Just like De-Stalinization, his own kind reject him now. So excuse me while I say, Lovelock, you son of a b****! Go to hell.
the D40 is also a perfect example why megapixels DON'T count. it has a 6MP 23.7 x 15.5 mm CCD. it is a rather small sensor, but only compared with the higher DSLRs. Fewer MPs on a relatively big CCD is less noise and better pictures.
D40 is one great camera for little money.
I agree. This is Corporatism at work. But i am saddened to see that the worldview today is so straightforward and simple minded.
Sure the Occupy crowd is right, but no one in it mentions that Corporatism can only be "installed" if the Government has no "UAC". We have a big and weak government (the worst kind actually), where legislation which creates Freddie and Fannie (inducting huge market distortions), Housing Acts etc, etc, which do more harm than good.
And when the corporations mess up, they get bailed out whereas people have no jobs and no income. No wonder that the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street have more than 30% common variance.
This is perceived unfairness. One wants the Government out, the other the corporations down. Both are right.
And while I agree with you on each and single argument you have there, put one from me on that list:
Screw the Government because it is the only one with legislative power and have done nothing but crap with it.
Screw them because they have taken away our freedom in the name of defense.
Screw them because they are in the same boat with corporations, who in my view want nothing to do a Free Market. All they want is Government protection and consumer gouging.
In fact, screw them all.

I bet he learned it from the news, like always. /sarcasm off

I am not sure Libertarians would agree. I think strong government is to be desired. Big != strong.

that is what Lenin said. And lost 50 years later.
I fully agree. Period.
You just sound like all those blacksmiths who complained that the car will destroy the horse shoe industry. And it did! :) And that wasn't that bad either.
Jobs paid his taxes as he started his company, or not?
1. Vote differently. I mean something other than R and D.
2. Revolution.
Curiously, both are rights under the Constitution. Point two is there for a reason.
Steve Jobs also paid those taxes as he grounded his company. He also paid taxes like you do, in order "to buy civilization", like it is always quite fondly quoted around here.
So he "bought" his civilization: infrastructure, laws etc. and he did something with it.

Unencrpyted and barely legal! LOL

So, yes. Legalize all of it.
Because we have pedobears and pirates. And terrorists.
Now I know how politicians are elected. With sweeping statements like that one.

Physicists? if ESP is ever proven real, the ones that will be most interested are the military.
On a second note, if physicists are so interested why are they not researching it?

i never said they don't serve a good purpose. i was just arguing that 3k$ cars are impossible.
