Exactly. As slow as companies are to move on to newer versions of Direct X, by the time companies require DirectX 11.2, we'll have Windows 9. Which, given the past 15 years, Microsoft seems to be on a "every other release" for if their OS is great or shit. ME was horrible, XP was great, Vista was horrible, 7 was great, 8 is horrible.... I hold out hope. Or, they could simply realize that putting a mobile UI on a desktop / laptop is a horrible idea and allow you to go into Control Panel and turn off the Metro UI permanently and restore the Start Menu. If they did that in 8.2, people would no longer bitch about how horrible Windows 8 is.

Yeah, the "proper method of whistle blowing" according to them (and you) is "don't fucking do expose our criminal behavior".

I remember Obama swearing an oath to uphold the Constitution, then pursuing multiple paths to violate the Constitution.

Except that they did. For a decade before the Constitution was written the Austrian army used a semi-auto (well, essentially) rifle that held 22 rounds and they also saw the first machine gun invented. Claiming that the Founding Fathers were too stupid to know where things were going only shows the ignorance of the person making the claim. Also, you really shouldn't look to a comedian for political insights.

Feminists support nudity in certain contexts (such as public nudity as part of a protest). If it's nudity in other areas (such as a strip club), they vilify it because the evil men are there providing the dancers with a source of income.

No, that's always been the tagline to sell it to the population as a whole. Yes, their first steps many years ago were equality, but after that was achieve they went on to pursuing the primary goal which was superiority. And guess what? They got it. Both in regards to social expectations and the law, women are viewed as superior to men in basically every way and it keeps getting worse for men every single day. I want equality, but it's rather sad to see men promoting the very people who are getting men classified as second class citizens in the US.

Well, looks like no multiplayer for me from now on. I didn't use it much anyways.

Do you realize how many millions (actually probably hundreds of millions) of people in the US drive and talk on the phone or even text while driving every year without getting in an accident? The people who are dumb enough to put a phone over driving are dumb enough to get themselves killed no matter how many laws you pass.

It doesn't matter how many laws and regulations you pass, people will still die. It shows just how delusional people like you are to think that you can actually legislate away death.

The problem with their thinking is that tablet sales are outselling PC sales because everyone already has a PC and due to the power of modern hardware, you don't need a new PC every three years. Most people don't have a tablet and if they do have one, the hardware is improving so fast that they'll want to buy a new one after a couple of years.

Bingo. Make it so that the Metro interface can be completely disabled in the options menu and after it is disabled Windows looks exactly like Windows 7 and I'd consider it. It really seems like Microsoft is on an "every other release" cycle where XP was great, Vista was shit, Win 7 was great, Win 8 is shit, etc.

Except Nixon was a saint compared to Obama.

First off, "well regulated" when referring to the military means "well trained / disciplined" not "highly controlled by the government". You can look up the definition in older dictionaries and see for yourself. Secondly, even the Supreme Court has explained that the first half of the amendment was explaining why we need the right to bear arms, not placing restrictions upon who can bare arms. Lastly, while each State has their own definitions for a state militia, the US Constitution specifies all able-bodied men up to 45 years old (older if they have previous military experience) are the militia.

This is exactly why rights should never be up for a vote, because most people can't be bothered to learn what they are talking about.

First off, about 30,000 of those are suicides. Studies have repeatedly shown that gun ownership has no impact on suicide rates. Secondly, the US has roughly 315 MILLION people in it. About 3.5 times as many people die in car accidents in the US each year as are killed with a gun (that even includes self-defense shootings in that number).

You have to be really immature to think your emotions invalidate peoples right to self-defense. Even the most anti-gun groups have admitted that there are (low end) 10 times as many cases of guns being used for self-defense each year as there are murders involving guns. The facts simply do not support your purely emotion based argument.

If someone kills my friend with a gun, how is it the responsibility of millions of people who didn't commit the murder? Why should almost half the adults in the US be punished for a crime that they didn't commit?
