It all gets rolled into it though, they have to be shifting the burden of buying all those phones somewhere, you dont think only iphone users are paying for their subsidized iphones do you?
you do make some compelling arguments indeed AC, I guess the point i was simply making is that everyone has a history, most have a history that isnt so great. People can either move past that and realize they are their own person, or they can deflect blame, which as you pointed out I was sort of doing without intending to in the previous post.
agreed. Allowing joe schmoe to beta test even if they dont provide "useful" information are still providing information on how joe schmoe uses his computer. The more a company knows how its users use their product, the better they can make them
because if they were not paying apple as much the cost of our phone bills could be cheeper. Think about it, why should I a dumb phone user (not really) have to pay more for my bill to subsidize the iPhone?? (yeah, i know thats wishful thinking verizon would simply pocket the profits)
what would be even better than weeding out the 95% who drop out is to have them not go to begin with, it would bring the cost down dramatically for the government, the students who go, and the debt brought on by those who drop out
pay poor people more, you can only hire less people, therefore some starve. A job is only worth what someone is willing to be paid for it. Someone taking your money at a mcdonalds, doesnt deserve to make 30 bucks an hour
and they will continue to exist as long as 2 things keep happening
1 - people keep living in the past, by this I mean black folks calling other successful black folks uncle toms. Other black folk demanding to be paid because their great great great great grandpa was a slave, by people who dont own nor have they ever owned slaves
2 - elitists propagating the myth that people of a certain color need help by the white man because they cant make it on their own. This breeds animosity among whites who feel that a poor white kid deserves just as much of a shot as a poor black kid, and this breeds victim mentality among black folk
The irish were racial targeted when they came to america, guess what, they assimilated with the american way of life and are not generally targets anymore. Asians were targeted and even rounded up and put in camps 70 years ago, guess what, they are doing just fine.
Its not just asians, Most people here forget how bad the irish had it when they came here years ago. Hell we stil lget called drunks and no one bats an eye to that stereotype. 100 years ago it was not uncommon to see help wanted signs that said "irish need not apply" you dont see the irish out there fighting for affirmative action for the irish do you? You dont see the irish demanding reparations for the way our grandparents were treated when they got here do you?
Sadly this is already happening, usually run by the b/tards. Besides just sending pizzas, they have sent in tips and had police raids in full swat show up at peoples houses just based on anon tips
Thanks for the insightful comments, you do make some excellent points. but just to be clear i do not live in NYC, but I live in the suburbs of NYC and a lot of rules and regulations that NYC passes end up our way next. I do have a legit beef with NYC and the way it is run.
why not? rage against the machine i believe it was put up a CD and told people pay as much or as little as you want, and they actually made more then they expected. Its not gonna work for an unknown but joss is fairly well known even to non geeks now due to his appearances on big bang theory
the horses who pull in NYC are some of the best treated horses on the planet except for maybe the budweiser clydesdales. Go talk to the people who run them, you wont find anyone who cares more about their animals than NYC horse carriage owners.
Agreed, the car looks pretty cool, and I can see a market for something like that... ALONG SIDE of the horse carriages. There is no legit reason to get rid of them, If we thought bloomberg was bad with his soda ban, what did we expect electing someone like deblasio?? but then again, the people of NYC get what they deserve by the people they vote for
on the same point, this should be common knowledge by now. This is of course a typical fear mongering story no different then the ones that say if we dont stop using oil then we will all be dead in 5 years but its dumb media reporting to dumb viewers
Having said all that, if there were a massive EMP event, the world world be fucked, like royally. Most people could not make it more then a few weeks if all electronics suddenly died. there would be chaos in the streets, I assume satellites are hardened being that they are bombarded by solar particles all the time, but i wouldnt be shocked if it screwed up the guidance on some of them. I can see airplanes literally falling out of the sky.
long story short, to most of us here, this is common sense, but it is good to see this being fed to the masses
I wont hold my breath that he wont hide behind executive privilege or use bushes favorite "Turruiists!!!" but one thing I do know is that obama will find some way to avoid having to explain himself. Most transparent president in history and all....
Thanks for the perspective on what someone in the top 1% thinks of the bottom 10%.
I highly doubt he thinks ALL the lower 10% fit in the category of people who abuse the system. He was giving his statement about people who abuse the system. Its telling that you feel that the bottom 10% are abusing the system or you wouldnt have pulled that number out of your ass

dual boot?
and the difference between the irish and other groups, we laugh at that. but you make a racial joke about some other groups and its a hate crime

so let me get this right, because white people leave (regardless of the reason why) and the city turns to shit, its the white mans fault?

just so you know, NYC is not india, the carriages in NYC are meticulously taken care of as well as the animals.
Jay leno has a large collection of working steam cars, He says they are some of his favorite https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
