  1. Re:chinese motto seems to be: on China Secretly Clones Austrian Village · · Score: 1

    oh yeah, we never copied any chinese buildings over here. nor use any chinese inventions, ever. and certainly never copied the foods or cooking styles of the various regions. now excuse me while I go eat my schezuan hot pot.

  2. Re:Yeah, yeah, racist rants, again ! on China Secretly Clones Austrian Village · · Score: 4, Insightful

    no, "Chinese" is more like a civilization and an ethnicity, as the people describe themselves. it goes beyond china, and plenty of groups in china do not consider themselves "chinese" in that sense

  3. Re:Creepy on China Secretly Clones Austrian Village · · Score: 1

    oh, like we asked permissoin to copy and emulate other building styles in the USA? we have swiss villages in wisconsin, greek temple styled libraries and post offices, chinese buildings and pagodas, etc.

    that's why I like w3m, same look and feel for years, without the cruft.

    the young prably have negative net financial worth, which really makes it "minus many times net work'

  9. Plus, Yeager is obviously a much better pilot and navigator than these two dead wanabees

  10. Re:Legalize it all. on How Chemistry Stymies Attempts To Regulate Synthetic Drugs · · Score: 1

    idiot, that's just one non-typical instance that proves exactly nothing. People have been killed and eaten by cults with no narcotics involved, so should we ban freedom of religion?

  11. Re:Legalize it all. on How Chemistry Stymies Attempts To Regulate Synthetic Drugs · · Score: 1

    no, let's NOT concern ourselves with your two extreme examples that are hardly typical. that's just foolish.

    We have killed far more people in Afghanistan protecting drug lords and their fields and shipping. we kill and incarcerate our own citizens for victimless crimes and pump up the innates in the prison system for profit. we fight both sides of the "war on drugs", it is a scam and farce by our government at our expense.

    Get a clue, the biggest problem with the "war on drugs" is the government that gets you to fund and support its fighting of it (again, both sides if you haven't been paying attention to mainstream news the past three decades)

    we use stronger passwords because we've been around the block enough times to know there are bad people out there

    you'll get arrested for manufacturing guns without a license. better buy that license first, but you'll be needing several thousand dollars in profits to cover it per year

    less dangerous than some of our american windbag presidents and their "war on terror" which really turned into mostly war against innocent civilians abroad with body count to the sky, mostly of people who did NOT attack us. Hugo is a piker next to those evil homicidal liars.

    usually crime goes down in areas that adopt concealed carry. I'd wager open carry would also make a dent in crime.

    false, that "invading force" stuff was just something that happened in the middle of the story.
    here is how it ended:

    and 5 times as many people died in 2006 from vehicle crashes. cars don't kill people, people driving cars kill people.

    besides, most of the murders are done by certain subcultures of the populace, despite the FBI's refusal to tract race of those committing crime. I'd say we have a gun problem with certain minorities in inner cities, that's all. Leave the rest of us good armed citizens alone. target the problems of those minorities mostly killing each other.

    OpenIndiana has only made three "development releases" since 2010, it is not a production grade system. Just a hobbyist system.

    there are plenty of places where people really can own land.

    It would be more accurate to say people can be fooled into accepting as money something that is not. And historically the value of some of those things, such as paper with no backing, can plummet to zero almost overnight.

    to be pornographic you'd need to see more of the woman; that photo is more clinical than anything else. I wouldn't be jerking off to dozens of pictures like that, maybe someone would

  25. Re:links on What Should We Do About Wikipedia's Porn Problem? · · Score: 1

    those are all boring and not titillating in any way; those are therefore not pornography. I would find a painting of a women by Vargis more pornographic than those photos.
