    Saudi Arabia. I don't care what lists it is or isn't on, it's where Bin Laden's from, it's where most of the 9/11 hijackers are from, it's a theocratic monarchy that keeps it's citizens in line with a combination of the threat of violence and a welfare state built on everything that's left over of the oil money after they've taken their share. They have numerous ties to terrorism, numerous human rights abuses and are not someone we should be supporting.

  9. Re:Hmm... on Android Passes Symbian As Most-Shipped Mobile Platform · · Score: 1

    Apple doesn't want to be number one. Time and time again they've had the opportunity to grab much bigger sections of the market than they did. Time and time again they didn't take them. The only time Apple dominates a market is when they've sparked the popularity of a relatively new market and if anyone else is competing at all they're relatively unknown (see the original IPod).

    If you're going WTF it's because you've probably only heard about the war from American history textbooks. Yes we lend-leased a lot of material to the Russians, but that really just sped up the process. They had plenty of their own industry and if you compare the two countries it would've taken a miracle for the Germans to win that one.

    No you dumbass, he/she/it was pointing out that back in the day E-Mail was viewed as something for geeks too. Now everyone has an email. Basically, it's dumb to classify a protocol as easy/hard to use because a protocol is as easy to use as the easiest application that supports it.

    Hitler used Christian ideology to support killing Jews, quoted the bible in speeches and was a self proclaimed Christian.

  25. Re:Easy Solution on Debt Collectors Using Facebook To Embarrass Those Who Owe · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's called an election. You get ~1/300,000,000 of a say in it.

    Vote for politicians that will work to lower that debt.Campaign for politicians that will lower that debt.

    If you continually lose and the idea of 43k in government debt in your name is too appalling then move to a country with no national debt.

    If you don't feel like working for change by campaigning/voting and/or you don't want to leave the country then you can just shut up about it already.
