    Have you even used KDE? I don't think so. If you did you'd see how it's superior to gnome. Gnome is more like a simple childs desktop. Not a professional environment. When I use a machine with Gnome, the first thing I do is upgrade it to kde. Get rid of that Gnome interface that seems to put you right into a straight jacket. I can't imagine why anyone likes it. When I show people that have never used Linux both setups, there is no question. They always chose KDE.

    You're coming up on the age where if you're fired or leave, you're done. Sure, you *MIGHT* be able to be employed again, however you're likely expensive and not up on the latest stuff. They'll pass you over. Under-qualified or the dreaded - "overqualified." It can get real ugly. I'm over 50 myself and it's a real concern.

    Go into other areas. Open up a store, real estate, management, etc. You don't really want to code anymore, do you? I have a lot of holdings. I could go into many areas. You need to find something, soon. If you want to stay, you must keep up on the latest stuff and be a real asset. Otherwise, the door is always there to show you when the time comes.

  8. Because most district attorneys are too chickenshit to bring charges against a cop. If a DA does bring charges all the cops turn into instant crybabies and threaten to stop doing their jobs. Also notice how the charges are rarely direct, mostly its a grand jury who decides and the DA can influence how its run. Then you have the police unions.

    Ever read about how Jeffrey Dahmer was almost caught? A naked and intoxicated 14 year old boy ran out of Dahmer's apartment and the police were called. All the black neighbors said the boy was underage and didn't belong there. The cops didn't listen and gave the boy back to Dahmer to be murdered. Google his name John Balcerzak.

    You need to stick to things you know. Washington DC is run by a bunch of Democrats and black people. They will charge a cop if the cop needs to be charged. I know from personal experience. Everything I said checked out, cop was arrested and charged. Turned out that cop was dirty and I didn't even have to go to court over my complaint. This was over 20 years ago. Thing is, a lot of people, usually black people believe the bullshit from the left and think they can do whatever they want. Good black people don't was trash in their neighborhoods either and they'll call the police. Then the usually young black man thinks he's super man and nobody before was nearly as bad or smart as he is. He's taken down. Sometimes hard. This doesn't mean I think they do everything right.

    What this tells me is people need to STFU more. The police are fine. Stop doing stuff you know you should't be doing.

  13. Nazis weren't socialists dolt
    Using the word in their name NDSP no more proves them socialist than People's Republic makes NK a Republic.
    Believe all that truth about the racist republicans, like White Power Conference headline speakers Tom DeLay, Trent Lott and Dick Armey in 1992-1997

    Wow, so much wrong in such a little amount of space. Name calling to boot. A sure sign you're clueless, otherwise you'd set forth an intelligent argument.

    NK - had to look it up. I never wondered about their government. NK is a Republic. It's certainly not a Democracy. There is a people's assembly, a premier and three vice premiers. Their internal structure is based on representatives - that's a Republic. Did you realize that the USA is a Republic as well? Probably not. This is not to say that anyone other than the supreme leader has any say in the country.

    Back to the Nazis - the Nazis were Socialists. In fact the official party platform was socialist. Here is a funny article - funny because the wiki people writing it still think Nazi's are to the right (due to the left's propaganda), then look at the part on the position in the political spectrum - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . After reading that, you should have a good understanding and why you're wrong. How you've been lied to by the left. They want to escape their history because it's so bad.

    White Power Republicans? Can you show me one? If you say Trump, that shows me how out of touch you are. All I have to do is show you some videos from just a few years ago when the Democrats were giving him awards and talking nice about him. One Democrat even said that if he didn't like how things are, become President and fix it. He said - be careful what you wish for. I'm sure the Dem laughed thinking that was so funny. All until he's a Republican candidate, then of course he's the new GW Bush (and Devil incarnate). Break out the nasty name calling bag and bag of dirty tricks/lies. The only racists I know of are in the Democratic party. Largest hate group in the Country is the Democratic party. I'm not talking about assholes, like Sharpton or David Duke. Actual party members. Like Waters, like Franken to name a couple. If Republicans wanted to show white superiority, it's not hard. Just google IQ by country. 'Nuff said. If you're not convinced just respond. I can hit you with a much larger facts. Not that it will do any good I suspect. You're showing signs of deep denial of reality. Republicans try to help the other races, Democrats want everyone on the government plantation. Think about it. Black leaders that I know will tell you that as well. They want to change it. Just look at all the black people in Philly that voted for Trump. You probably don't even know that black people have benefited a lot from Trump already. I'm sure the "news" your listening to won't tell you. Still reading? I'm amazed if you are. I'll admit I was wrong. I figured you would have stopped long ago.

  16. It doesn't matter what color a person's skin is, "rich privilege" wins out. People who end up with money love to pretend that it's natural for them to have it.

    Who the hell is that? Everyone I know that is rich knows it's not natural. They won the lottery of life. If they have kids it can all be gone in less than a year. Even if it's hundreds of millions. It's also very hard to keep it. Everyone wants to part you from your money.

    Just as the poor are poor for a reason. There will always be poor. They can't handle money. If you work with them, that becomes clear fast. So stealing it from the rich doesn't help.

    Really? You don't know how the flow works for cars. I have an express in the driveway with about 150K miles on it. Other than age and some rust, it's fine. I could turn it in for a new one, which I plan on doing within the next week. That truck is worth about $3,000. It'll work for someone that can afford that $3,000 for probably the next 10 years doing local small jobs. I know it's sound because I towed a bobcat recently. Same with my Chevy sedan, that was worth about $2,000. Some poor person could use that car for years. Now take thousands of them and destroy them instead. Now WTF are they supposed to do? Prices go up, the poor were screwed and that's what studies showed. It was a disaster. So "cash for clunkers" should be renamed "debt and dispair for poor people."

    Ah, ah, ah. That's not how a Representative Democracy works. The people in Congress are there to represent the will of the people. If Co...

    They were voted right out. For two years the Dems did whatever the hell they wanted. Drunk with power. That's how we got Dodd-Frank - probably the worst legislation ever written. For example you couldn't even finance your own house to someone else. I used to do that, someone wanted to buy one of my houses I could finance it myself. Not under Frank-Dodd. I had to get a loan originator - good luck with that. HUD didn't even know what to do about it, it was so stupid. Could go on, won't. It should be obvious, my point is.

    The view held by the minority of Congress is just that -- the minority opinion. So if you're trying to express some viewpoint that the government system was "rigged" and people were not having their views represented in the way that is correct when the Cash for Clunkers Program was enacted, I would have to ask, doesn't that invalidate the results of the last election, and the current legislative makeup as well? It was also decided by this system you seem to be implying is flawed.

    You lost me. How does Congress running amok back in 2008 have anything to do with this last election? I'm saying the system worked. We voted the bums out. Democrats hold the fewest seats since reconstruction. I anticipate they will lose even more seats this next election. The Dem running for Pres in 2020 will also lose. With any luck, we'll bring bullies back to schools and slap snowflakes back into reality. Good example was on Shark Tank this last Friday. Poor little black boy with his laughable IOS app that did NOTHING was slapped down by the big bad mean reality stick. It even showed him going into the back where his mommy was waiting for him telling him how smart he is. I couldn't believe it... as if he had his balls cut off. He didn't seem to act like any self respecting man I know.

    Invalidate the last election... That's a good one... We're coming up on a year soon. Dude, put out your candle for Hillary. She lost. She's not going to be President. Not now, not ever. That's a very good thing. She's not a leader. Not for a nation, not even for a girl scout troop. It's done and we have who we have. Let's just make the best of it.
