So the selling point is that it will look like windows 7. Why should I pay for it then? Microsoft clearly wants windows to be a subscription. Why else knock out a new version so often and put little effort into fixing what you already have. I'm not into paying an obscene amount for a broken OS where there's osx and Linux which both are so much cheaper and perform better.

Which we still can't claim innocence on. Part of the people's suffering was due to sanctions which we placed on Iraq. No one is saying Saddam was a nice guy. He had a problem with religious factions and choose brutal means to solve it. But considering the US is spying on the world in a way that would make the Nazis wet themselves all the while running secret camps, keeping people in prison without trial, force feeding prisons and torturing them and don't forget the drones used to bomb anyone they feel like blowing up. I can't help but think all this justification in that Iraq was such a terrible place is just that justification to try and make people feel better about themselves for destabilising the region and generally just fucking it up so dubya could get revenge for his daddy.

But it's also the fact that if the US military is so great and the soldiers did such a great thing by losing their lives in the battle of Iraq why throw all of that way in such a short period? At the very least let's be honest about what soldiers are and that is a disposable resource for the wealthy in the US to with as they please. They're not some great honourable warriors because if we genuinely though that we wouldn't be throwing away all their work so quickly.

You fucking idiot. Your CD drive button relies on software too. It's no different except it's on the drive and both the cd drive button and the keyboard eject button rarely fail when operated by a human and no some basement dwelling rage turd angry at life.

Protip: Cheetos dust isn't good for electronics.

I agree we should have never been in Iraq in the first place but yes if I were them I'd want the people who broke it to fix it. If at the very least hopefully it'll teach them a lesson not to do it again. Do you think the US should be able to just away with messing it up and not paying out to fix their fuck ups? That's definitely not going to help anyone.
