I think you forgot to RFA. The point is if you work at a minimum wage job FULL-TIME, you still can't afford tuition at an average American university. I worked 30 hours a week at just over minimum wage and went to a good (not private) school and I still have debt. I didn't live like a king either.

Never hear of this thing called Google? Excuse the fuck me if I don't have time to show you how to work it. If you can't understand how though what you want is "Red Flag Russian VS F35" and you'll find it. It was done by the AU and UK who are looking into whether to continue support of the F35, and it ain't pretty.

And frankly I don't give a flying crap when their was built, all that means is we have been sucking hind tit for a hell of a lot longer. It was pointed out the latest Su fighter (I believe Su35, not sure of the Su numbering system) is less than 10 years old and has a flyaway of less than 40 million and stomps the living shit out of anything we have.

And I looove how you have the shriveled tiny balls to call someone troll without actually providing proof a single thing they said was wrong. And how about the most important point that space is NOTHING but a vanity project and has been since it was USSR VS USA? Manned space flight into LEO is nothing but a giant fucking money sink, and with THREE wars we simply don't have the money to waste, kay?

I just love how this place has become nothing but a space and FOSSie circlejerk while ignoring there is a good portion of the planet that would like it very much if we were wiped off the face of it. hell no wonder the numbers of this place is tanking and Taco left, the level of suck is getting unreal.

They said the EXACT same thing in Korea... MiG15s and 17s were faster, better climb rate blah blah blah... yet the F-86 won 10-1! We DOMINATED in every way in supposedly inferior craft. If there is on thing the US still gets right, it's projection of air power.

Imagine you're poor. Not homeless-poor ...but lower class. You have one laptop to share for your family and a slow wifi connection. This kindle is a perfect device. It isn't cheap (for the hypothetical you) but it's not back-breaking by any means. Buying another laptop is out of the question, and you don't know how to buy a used latop and reformat the harddrive. So you get the kindle fire: it means twice as many people in the home get online. You aren't thinking about walled gardens, you're just happy your kid can do homework while you can check facebook. It may not be the best or smartest decision, but that isn't the point. It's the way a lot of people live... and it's part of the reason why this will sell like crazy.

The Chevy Cruze is one of GM's few hits... it's a small cheap car that does everything you mention there at a similar price. It is highly regarded and considered equal or superior to most imports. So please, while you are mostly right, don't speak in absolutes.
