Ah yes, the conspiracy theory of how all her accomplishments are just Western propaganda to defame Pakistan. I was wondering when someone would post something along these lines, thanks for not letting the world down!
Bonus points for dragging out corruption and PTI Protests...
Errrrmmm you heard Taliban and jumped to the conclusion that she's from Afghanistan? Bravo...
Reality check, Pakistani defence forces (army and air force mostly) are currently fighting what can only be described as a full fledged war against the Taliban in the North Western part of the country which would imply that the Taliban are not a phenomena in Afghanistan alone.
Also, Malala is from Pakistan and the plight of women she brought world attention to, are mostly from the North Western part of the country.
As for her accomplishments, becoming the poster child of women's right in an ultra-conservative society (not implying that the entire Pakistani society is ultra-conservative but most of the North Western region where she hails from is, the Taliban just made matters exponentially worse), getting shot in the head for her trouble, surviving and continuing the good fight while she still has a price on her head and becoming a symbol for progressives in a society being pushed towards extremism (through Saudi/Qatari funding amongst other factors) and getting reviled by pretty much every extremist, all while she's still only 17. I don't know what you think accomplishments entail but I personally think that that's quite a list the young lady has accrued in a very short span of time.
Let's just gloss over the continued occupation of Jamu/Kashmir. How many UN resolutions have been ignored so far with regards to the right of self determination for the people of that region?
Also, no point in talking about Pakistani allegations of continued Indian support of separatist movements in Balochistan, that will just complicate the discussion and we obviously don't want that, do we? Let's just blame the Muslims and be done with it, right?
Spot on mate, almost exactly what I was about to post.
Just a minor addendum, the reason Hindus and Muslims weren't at each others' throats during large parts of the British rule was they had a common foe who they both wanted to oust.
Also saying all that, let's not forget that several people on both sides want peace but the extremists are not just more vocal, they also have more resources and don't mind resorting to violence towards advocates of peace in their respective camps.
With men like you, no wonder we are seen as tools -_-
Oh and as for shorter male life expectancy, war and hazardous jobs are not the major culprits as historically, men have generally consumed more tobacco, alcohol and drugs when compared to women in most societies, as a result they are more likely to die from many associated diseases such as lung cancer, tuberculosis and cirrhosis of the liver. On top of that, the mortality rate at birth for females is better then that for males. And to top it off, deaths resulting from cancer of the respiratory system, motor vehicle accidents, suicide, cirrhosis of the liver, emphysema, prostate cancer and coronary heart disease far outweigh the female mortality rate from breast cancer and cervical cancer.
Also, for most of our history (leaving out the last ~50 to 100 years in the developed countries), life expectancy for women of child bearing age was much lower than males of the same age group.
Decade old myth 'debunked' by sexists and misogynists you mean? Yeh, I can see why you'd believe that particular 'debunking'.
Men do not breed themselves. Men are made by women, in the exact way women need them.
I have no idea what you were trying to get at here but if I'm reading this right, it was something along the lines that women are supposed to be nothing more than child bearers for their male overlords. What in blazes is wrong with you?
You forgot to mention that Dalvik is a clean room implementation by Google, besides the names of the classes and functions (along with the types of their return values and parameters), something that was published as part of the language specification (I believe), Google has not copied anything from the original implementation. So is Oracle suing Google for following the language spec of Java or for coming out with a clean room implementation of the said language spec? Either way, Oracle is being asinine and if they do manage to somehow scrape a win, I look forward to Bell Labs suing the pants off of the entire computing industry what with there being dozens of implementations of the C/C++ api and no one paying royalties for them.
I recon the purpose was to give developers a programming language they were familiar with, a programming language which was already widely used, creating a language from the ground up would have forced developers to learn a new programming language or ignore the platform, why is that so hard to understand?
You failed to understand 3) Apple pushes all risk onto GTAT. IOW, if Apple decides not to use the sapphire for the displays, GTAT has to repay the pile of money from step 2.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 with Cyanogenmod installed, can you point me in the direction of a custom ROM (besides CM) with OTA updates? Re-installing all my apps and getting my phone to act the way I want each time I flash an update is really not an option so if there are any alternatives out there, I've missed them and I'll be grateful to you if you could tell me about them, thanks:-)
PopeRatzo is not defending the Democrats from what I can gather...the current incarnation of Democrats is not liberal, they can best be defined as a center-right entity whereas liberalism is center-left position. In American politics, you've got center-right with Democrats and then you've got center-right to extreme-right with Republicans, there is no political force in America that can be classified as social-liberal or social-democrat and obviously, the right wingers are doing their utmost to maintain the current order of things like they always do.
1. You may shoot Native Americans if more than five of them are on your property.
2. Kisses may last for no more than five minutes.
3. A man with a mustache may never kiss a woman in public.
4. It is illegal to hunt from an aircraft.
5. The fire department is required to practice fire fighting for fifteen minutes before attending a fire.
6. Horses are forbidden to eat fire hydrants.
7. One must obtain written permission from the City Council before throwing bricks onto a highway.
Neither does the American version of capitalism. Also, Americans with their 4x4s don't seem to care much about environment either. What exactly was your point?
The phone has a 550MHz processor and 256MB of RAM...the performance will probably be abysmal in today's world of multicore CPUs but you asked for a ROM and here is a jellybean ROM...
Ok, I might have jumped the gun there but calling someone out on views one does not agree with is part and parcel of freedom of speech. You can't have one person saying whatever they want while everyone else either agrees with them or shrugs their shoulders and moves on, that's not how humans tick.
In my defense, from personal experience bringing up freedom of speech is what conservatives normally do after one of them has made an intolerant/prejudicial statement (which can, at times, include threats of violence ranging from sending someone to the hospital to rape and murder) and someone has called them out on it, this behaviour irks me to no end.
Also, please note that the three types of conservatism I mentioned were not targeted at you in particular, I merely mentioned them as examples of conservatism while I went on an anti-conservatism-rant. (Sadly I missed one very important type of conservatism ie societal conservatism such as forcing gender roles on people or telling them what their orientation should be etc.).
For the record, I don't think voting Republican or Democrat proves anything, both parties are right-wing as far as political ideologies go (this is not a commentary on you voting for Obama, just an observation from an outsider).
So blacklist them and their products from US, it's not like the country doesn't wield that threat when they want corporations to cease any dealings with a non-compliant sovereign entity...
Conservatives, religious, racial or political, are a scourge on humanity. You people revel in your intolerance and when someone calls you out on said intolerance, you attack them for being intolerant of your intolerance. The world would be so much better off if intolerance in all its incarnations ceased to exist and conservatism was no longer a way of life.
Oh and read some history, back in late 18th century, the going conservative doctrine of feudalism and serfdom was gradually replaced (over the next 100 years or so) by universal suffrage, a liberal concept at the time. The conservatives of the time (mostly feudal families, people who'd found ways to use the class system to their advantage and sheeple who thought siding with the Lords and Ladies (tm) would bag them some points) fought tooth and nail to conserve feudalism but that particular breed of conservatives is now mostly extinct (going on how not a lot of people would defend/demand a feudal society in today's age). The same will happen to the current group of conservatives and the one that comes after them and so on and so forth. Before their inevitable demise, the conservative groups of each era will hold back human societal progress for decades before they finally adopt the next liberal societal concepts and then stick to them as being conservative ideals!
Also read some history, the al-Quaida and the Taliban were created (trained and armed) by the CIA to fight a proxy battle against a certain Communist superpower

Isn't speaking to passengers a distraction too? If a conversation with a passenger starts to get too heated, there's no way to hang up on them.

Oh is that why they keep moaning to bring in more H1B1 employees? To pay them more? Gee here's a corporation with a heart of gold
So blacklist them and their products from US, it's not like the country doesn't wield that threat when they want corporations to cease any dealings with a non-compliant sovereign entity...

Were? What were you trying to say?
How bloody hard is it to press the apostrophe?
Also, weren't the Republicans pissed at Obama for not openly supporting the predecessor of ISIS? Here's a pic McCain took with members of what is now known as ISIS back when their only objective seemed to topple Asad's regime in Syria.
