However, I never compared them to "terrorists", which as we all know is a politically heated phrase that can be used against anyone the media/government/corporations and others can use. I compared them to criminals, which is what they are.
If you look at what the Hammonds have done over the last twenty years or so, what the "militia" up there has done, etc; These clowns got off easy.
Because they quote "scripture" and wear cowboy boots, they have gotten the soft approach from law enforcement, and everyone knows it.
Just imagine if something similar had taken place, except the "militia" was composed of African Americans, say, in Oakland or Memphis? It would have been a blood bath from the get go.
Also, why do these militia/patriot types think its their prerogative to use lethal force or violence to get what they want? WTF?!? That is what criminals do. Isn't this obvious enough?
Like the time Conway Twitty received Cobol source code printout in a manila envelope with a Valentines card from his cousins ex-wife. Being curious, he input and compiled the code on his PC DOS workstation, and then ran it, discovering a surprisingly nimble calendaring/appointment/contacts program.
And by stupid I mean the licensing deals. We're in 2016 and there's still idiots out there who can't understand that people can't subscribe to 10+ services to watch everything they want.
That's why I'm staying with Netflix. Either they get the deals and also my money, or nobody gets it. This is entertainment, we can live without it.
Boy you've got that right.
It really is interesting when this topic comes up with people I know. Most people out there DO subscribe to multiple services so they can watch whatever/whenever. I don't, and never will. I also just go with NF.
And then it became greedy bastards like Wizards of the Coast who tried to decree like they'd invented the whole damned thing in a vacuum, when nothing could be further from the truth.
Where are all the WoTC apologists to counter such an inflammatory statement?!?
Go ahead and write it. But don't expect any royalties from your tear jerker autobiography. The Son of Sam law took care of that(and it probably was those sciency liberals who did that!).
Oh, and don't forget to include the part where once upon a time you were a sweet little boy who loved his new-age-vegan-yogini-single-mommy who would dress you up in girls clothes while listening to Enya. Then this all changed when the girl you had a crush on in 7th grade(and who turned out to become a highly regarded professor of womyns studies) beat you up when you laughed at her lisp in the lunchroom and your reaction to this was to eventually join the high school Republicans, and go on to a brilliant career delivering pizza on K street.
Stories about a future where a guy goes to work and installs software on computers for an insurance company don't get made into movies.
Yes, they do, and then that guy has an anxiety attack, and Morpheus comes and gives him a pill which sends him on a trip through a hallucination where the world is a computer simulation.
I thought we were done arguing about the new Star Wars film.
I own a relatively newer model Samsung fridge. I bought it as a floor model, and because of that, they gave me a free three year warranty. After I had the fridge for about 18 months problems showed up.
It took five or six visits from three different onsite techs to finally fix it. They replaced almost the whole fridge. They definitely replaced all the computer boards(there are three or four) at least once and some twice. Each time when I would sign the paperwork, acknowledging what they had done, I looked at the cost of parts and labor. I was stunned. I realized they could have just replaced the fridge with a new one after the third visit.
When they called me to see if I wanted to get an extension on the warranty, I said "By all means!"

You missed the WW2 obsession as well.

You bring up some good points.

Think about this in the context of our current "law enforcement paradigm" of shooting first and asking questions later, which hasn't abated since Ferguson or any of the other incidents where police just decide to kill someone, because they were nake, high, unarmed and not following directions. Here we have armed trespassers, who flagrantly voice their intent to commit crimes and harm law enforcement, etc;
Hey, thats some double standard were seeing up there in Oregon.

I think Comcast is more like the Zika Virus; the government of Cuba will warn its citizens against downloading anything for the next two years...
And good luck to Cuba if they want to get out of their contract with Comcast!
Donald Trump says there is. And he is going to send them back where they belong!!!
Send them back?!?
F that!
He's going to build a wall!

Please do the needful.
last time I checked it still calls me Ben, and I continue to get spam occasionally addressed to Ben.
Seems pretty clear to me.

Maybe we should get some feminists to review the script for Birth of a Nation.

Thats the part I want to read.

They want to do with surgeons what they already did to IT workers.
Bingo
If the cameras + screen keep you from opening the refrigerator as often and as long, what's wrong with that?
1. Added Complexity
2. More things to breakdown and need to be replaced
3. More things that need to be secured against hacking

I think the current crop of candidates all fit that description.
Now all we need is the app!
Right, and (ooohhhhhh!), how edgy is it to have a female lead in a Sci-Fi film!
There was this movie that came out in 1979 called Alien...
