Want to really fight ISIS? We'll need Iran and Syria as allies if you actually want to win.

Fuck Netanyahu. If you listen to him, he'll take you right into WWIII. Let him go to Masada by himself if he's so determined to commit suicide.

Let me tell you how public transportation works where I live:

1) Wait 20 minutes+ in the rain for a bus, ride another 20 minutes to a hub, wait another 20+ minutes for a bus to actually take you where you're going, ride another however many minutes to get to your actual stop.

2) Have to sit the whole way next to a bunch of smelly drug addicts. Sorry to be harsh about it, but that's a large percentage of the people who ride the bus here.

3) When lunch roles around, wish you had a car to go eat somewhere new, then also wish there were a way to go to the bank or run errands.

-or-

1) Get in my car and drive 20 minutes to work--maybe deal with some minor parking hassles at most, costs me a little gas money. Got my car nearby if I need to go anywhere during the day.

Now why would I ride the bus even if it were free? My time and freedom of movement are more valuable than anything I would save in gas.

People looking to be offended will be always find what they're looking for, no matter how sensitive you try to be.

If the original trilogy came out today, people would be complaining that C3PO is a gay stereotype, Nien Nunb is a slur against asians, Jabba is offensive to fat people, and jawas are implying that little people are selfish.

How many drivers does it take to drive a driverless car?

Well, normally it would take one. But this is Google we're talking about here. So with each driver, you have to factor in 20% personal interest leave, nap leave, cafeteria time, sympathetic maternity leave, mandatory Frisbee/unicycle breaks, etc. So you're probably talking 2-3 employees minimum.
