So, THE only way to prevent terrorism is to have a police state. Search everyone - every where. Meaning, we need to search the vagina and rectum of every little girl because you never know when someone sticks explosive in there. We also need full x-rays to see right through the body because you never know when someone will surgically implant explosives.

Get it?

It is impossible to be safe from terrorism.and people really need to get over the idea that it's possible to be completely safe.

In the meantime, I'm sure you don't hesitate to jump in your car and get on the freeway because that's probably how your going to die and if yo live long enough, it'll be cancer or heart disease.

Comment Re:Dell must have some good hookers on staff... (Score 1) 272

The US Federal Government buys more Dell machines than any other major customer. And Dell sucks, really really hard.

Seeing the title and that boldfaced sentence, I think you've hit on the answer. Well, I don't think Dell himself is doing the sucking - he hires people for that, but you're right in spirit.

Famous qoute, "First Kill all the lawyers" seems apropos. And I know it probably wasn't what was intended within the context of the play, but it sure does seem correct now.

No, no,no. That's like hitting all your dogs on the nose when one pisses on the rug.

Just shoot the assholes like these and let the other animals learn from that. And if Britain is creating lawyers half as fast as the US is, there will plenty of lawyers to fill in the gap.

Consider this hypothetical:

Someone really pissed at the TSA for their current screening techniques sends a satirical letter, thank-you card or email to Pistole saying:

"Thank you so much for doing exactly what I want. You have been a great help for my cause in showing the American people what it's like to live in a Police state when they are in an airport and what my Muslim brothers have to deal with everyday.

Yours,

Osama Bin Laden."

Just what do you think would happen?

However, he then conceded that, "Android phones have more features," and offer more choice for more people. Eventually, he thinks that Android quality, consistency, and user satisfaction will match iOS.

In the news, an Apple fanboy ran up to Mr.Wozniak, starting beating against Mr. Wozniak's chest and exclaimed "You beast! You beast! You beast! You beast!You beast! You beast!You beast!" and after exhausting himself, broke down in tears. Mr Wozniak then held the fanboy and said, "There there. Shhhhhhhh. It's OK. It'll never be Apple. Shhhhhhhhhh."

Paranoia and its associated billions and billions spent because of it is how the US will be weakened.

It's been said that one of the (many) reasons the Soviet Union collapsed was because of the spending on military hardware to keep up with the US - their economy just couldn't support it.

The US has no real reason, at least at this time, to spend billions and billions of hardware BUT security is another matter.

We're so paranoid, that we're searching each other to make sure that our neighbors aren't a threat - "They could be!" is the cry from the peanut gallery and politically connected businessmen who want to bleed the American taxpayer to line their own pockets.

Now we have this virus that will attack our NUCLEAR installations. GASP! It's NUCLEAR!!! Everybody panic. We need to do something!!!

Along will come politicians and businessman with a solution. Hundreds of billions of dollars will be spent on "protecting" us from this "threat".

Another threat will come. And another. And another. And hundreds of billions of dollars will be spent on each.

In the meantime, the Fed is "Quantitatively Easing" (*snicker*) our currency. We're running huge deficits.

We're considered to be Imperialistic by most of the World - OK, all of the World except for ourselves. And one of the best ways to take out a superior force is to have them take themselves out.

He's fictional.

The kid needs someone who's real. Fictional characters usually have some sort of "super human" characteristic that no real human could ever measure up to - it could be a super human mastery of many things that normal people would spend many years to get one of thing mastered, like James Bond being excellent at: skiing, marksmanship, fighting, flying, etc...
