Do you think members of the US military will follow orders to shoot their countrymen?

The US government doesn't. That's why they made a treaty with Canada, that if Canada has a revolution, American solders will be sent to quell it, and if America has a revolution, Canadian solders will be sent to quell it.

With the right indoctrination, you can teach a man that his enemy is not human. But most people don't like shooting their neighbours, and will go AWOL if you try to make them.

It's the "command and control" technology for your civilization. But it's been subverted, just like a hacked server that is no longer doing what it was designed to do. If you act intelligently to replace it, most of you will be much better off. If you leave it to foreigners to smash it, you will be frantic to arrange "something" to co-ordinate your affairs, you'll make knee-jerk reactions, and most likely end up with something even worse.

Just a thought.

It's less work to wait someone to accumulate a following, then execute a campaign to trash their reputation and leave their followers without a coherent direction. That's how these things are done.

Ever think, maybe, the point of the education system from Day 1 is to interfere in your ability to do this? It seems custom made for such a purpose...

So what, you can work for money to give to people who screw you over at every turn, but you can't work to meet your needs directly without involving middle men? You can work for money to pay taxes to maintain the infrastructure you rely on, but you can't go work on that infrastructure without the guarantee of cash in your pocket, simply because it's important?

You ever think maybe if you spent less time thinking about all the things that you're entitled to have delivered to you on a silver platter... ...and more time thinking about your natural right to get off your ass and go address the problems in your life directly without middle men barring the way... ... maybe, just maybe, you might be better off?

This is a stupid idea. Pick up your guns and start a revolution, or don't. Congress is just a building full of people you don't have to listen to. Why would you work like a slave to pay someone millions of dollars to say what you want them to say when you can just ignore them and work on improving your country?

You wanna shut them down? Bush told you how after 9/11. It's simple.

STOP FUCKING SHOPPING.

Destroy the value of currency, get your country back. It's that simple.

I disliked Toby Maguire immensely. Spider-Man is supposed to be an overconfident wisecracking smart ass with a dash of brilliant intellect. Toby Maguire is an emo crybaby, the sort of guy who would keep his girlfriend by telling her he was going to kill himself.

The scene where the little kid faces down the villain was also an awesome scene. Not as good as Gwen's death scene, but awesome.

I think this was the best Spider Man movie ever made. That scene where Peter tells Gwen to stay out of the way because it's too dangerous, and she makes her oh-so-predictable "girls can do anything boys can do" speech, then gets shot dead... that was just awesome. I'm sick to death of the ridiculous "beefcake dressed as nerdy scientist wrings his hands while 110 lb woman dressed as dominatrix defeats six linebackers without messing up her hair" scenes coming out of Hollywood.

The next funny bit is, you're talking to me in the third person, letting me know that my joke was not a joke, and talking about how non-tech-savvy I am, despite the fact that I've been programming computers since I was 7 years old, have worked on some incredibly significant technology in my career and have been known to build 3D printers with hand tools in my living room for fun :D

Doofus.

They're watching us. Through our computers and cell phones.

Shame no one on that plane had a cell...

No, really, we don't. It's 100% about timeless style, not about being useful beyond telling you what time it is. Tools and gear are great, but there's not a single smart watch concept that has ever been released that I'd wear on a night out. They look ridiculous. Maybe you could sell them to younger people who like wearing loud obnoxious crap to attract attention, if you got the price down to their range, but the guy wearing a high precision German timepiece is not going to switch for the sake of utility.

The early days, before they got comfortable with being, not just "an" advertising company, but the most insidious and powerful advertising company in history, grander in scale than George Orwell could ever have fathomed?

What happened to Windows 8 then?

You're not really going to humiliate yourself by continuing this, are you?

Bill Burr says it best :D
