ffs, create an account and post from it.I need to easily differentiate you from the general AC community: you write well and make good (and interesting) points.
I don't know whether that can explain
See now, that's just far too honest for an Anonymous Coward posting. Sadly I don't know of any suitable studies either.
Wtf is an Asian-American? Are they Asian, American or kind of abandoned in France, unable to decide whether to head East or West?
Pick your fucking nationality. Stick with it. American kids are American, and pandering to their racial heritage leads to exactly the type of bullshit being proposed in Virginia.
Lets face it, the point of war is to kill, just kill for no real reason.
That's very wrong, for many reasons.
Hell, in the early 19th century it was recognised that war is the continuation of diplomacy by other means by Clausewitz (I love referencing Clausewitz) who also stated that the purpose of war is to impose your will on your enemy.
Impose your will. That can be achieved with no deaths at all. Even in a war. Unlikely, admittedly, but an armed force is a tremendous bargaining chip in the pre-war diplomacy.
Then consider this: In a battle, killing members of the opposition is an inefficient way to win. Injuring the enemy takes the injured person out of the battle, plus the person or people needed to take them back for medical attention. There are morale implications too.
Finally think through the standard NATO approach to battle: They seek to minimise civilian casualties. That's very prejudicial to the ability to kill enemy soldiers, and very far removed from "just kill with no reason".
War happens because people can't think of non hostel ways to settle issues.
Force of arms is merely a more physical way to continue an argument. Feel free to propose your alternatives, because as you say, the rest of us can't think of non-hostile ways to settle issues.
Without condoning the arrest, the poppy is perhaps the single most neutral symbol in British history.
It's not attached to any religion, any race, any sex, any tribe, any faction, even to any individual nation. It's a symbol of remembrance for those that came before.
This is why people are so offended at its desecration. They perceive no just reason for such an act, and indeed a muslim has as much cause to remember as anybody else.
I realised it's for burning some flower
If it makes you feel better, it was a paper flower and not a real one.
So the whole issue is quite ridiculous
Precisely. The Government have even acknowledged that the current law is ridiculous and promised to change it. Sadly that's not stopping the police from acting like idiots.
Research the meaning of the poppy as a form of remembrance. Then watch Blackadder Goes Forth.
The final episode only really hurts if you understand the true symbolism of the poppy; at which point it becomes the single finest tribute ever made in comedy.
Our freedom could probably have been secured without a fight. We bankrupted the world's largest empire on a simple point of principle: We'd promised to protect someone else's freedom too.
As the father of two children I'm saying assume the worst of every man.
That makes you sexist, ignorant and stupid.
Statistically your children are more likely to be abused by you and your immediate family than anybody else. You're also missing out half the population, members of whom also abuse children.
As the father of no children at all, can I suggest you do yours a favour and move out?
Oh come on. You can remember faces from thirty years ago? I can't remember the faces of three people that assaulted me thirty years ago; you could show me a dozen photos and I'd just end up shrugging.
Worse than that, the fact a complaint was made and investigated is used when considering your suitability for certain lines of work, and can be shared with potential partners if they want to check up on you.
Editorial judgement determines that there's insufficient evidence to safely publish: story stopped. Note that the police had also decided not to prosecute despite having criminal evidence gathering mechanisms available to them and despite having multiple complaints registered with them.
Editorial judgement determines that a first-hand witness is happy to state on the record what he believes the police told him: story broadcast. The "internet" goes into overdrive and names the wrong man.
Now, tell me exactly, what did the BBC do wrong here? Put it objectively, and explain it simply, because right now your post is snide misinformation.
How about Samsung being sanctioned over email retention, despite retaining emails earlier than Apple, even though Apple knew early that legal action would ensue.
My G700 has variable DPI, changed by using buttons on the mouse itself.
So I can change my DPI mid-game if I want. I can use different DPI settings for different games. E.g. some FPS are twitchy as hell at max DPI, but other play superbly at that level.
The mouse has multiple DPI profiles, let alone multiple DPI settings, and all with no drivers installed on my PC. _That_ is a specialised gaming mouse, tons of configuration on the bits that actually matter.
I use three mice on a regular basis. One is eight years old, one is five years old and the newest is two years old (which replaced a four year old mouse that hadn't worn out, I just wanted a sexy new mouse).
I don't believe you only clean your mouse's ball and rollers once every two years.
I also don't believe it'll work very effectively on a bed, which my optical mice cope with just fine. Hell, two of my mice will work by waving them in the air, no surface needed.
Microsoft do make great mice, but ffs upgrade to an optical one.
Call me odd, but I don't install Logitech software. Except for the G15 keyboard, of which I still have a working original. Now that was a proper keyboard.
While I'd agree, Logitech's latest wireless mice have awful battery life. I'm ending up gaming wired by the end of the day as the battery's gone.
That's with a G700, but several others seem to use the same battery/USB charging.
It's nice that you can use the mouse while charging through USB, but how about just surviving the whole day on a full charge, as my previous Logitech mice managed.
Slashdot Mirror
That is different groups really are doing differently (Wow - They really are different!) and how do we deal with that
Well, for a start you don't pick fucking race as a determinant. You do some proper analysis and find out what the actual differentiating factors are.
Rather than expect the entire population to meet overall improvement levels each year, they want to raise up each group at rate realistic for them.
If those groups are determined on racial grounds, it's racist.
Don't try and excuse it. Admit it, and find a better mechanism.

the same way that feminism is anti-male.
That is, it isn't.
Many feminists are mysandric. Many things labelled as 'feminism' are horribly discriminatory against men.
So yes, feminism often is anti-male. Not always, but please don't pretend women are less hateful than men. Equal opportunities and all that.

I personally support this difference, is that we do not recognise that everybody has a right to insult or defame other people
It's not possible to discuss differences of opinion without insulting people.
I'm an atheist. When I say "there is no god" many theists take offence. They believe I've insulted that in which I do not believe.
I reserve the right to offend, and fuck the law if it disagrees.
On Sunday last our SOF Meeting
SOF?

There seem to be two kinds of men: sexual abusers and those who admire them and give them cover.
wtf? No wonder you posted anonymously.
Oh come on. You can remember faces from thirty years ago? I can't remember the faces of three people that assaulted me thirty years ago; you could show me a dozen photos and I'd just end up shrugging.
Fortunately they didn't mention the person. It'll be interesting to see if McAlpine manages to win a libel case on this one against the BBC.
All those people on twitter though..
Worse than that, the fact a complaint was made and investigated is used when considering your suitability for certain lines of work, and can be shared with potential partners if they want to check up on you.
Lovely way to treat innocent people :(
Nice way of misrepresenting the facts.

Skip past the infra-red early model optical mice and try a laser one.
The base never needs cleaning, and it genuinely works everywhere. A joy to use.
Or stick with your balls. A man can always trust his balls after all.

Barges come up the Rhine to Switzerland too, but it's still pretty fucking landlocked.

Are there many women in your wife?
