My family were twice kicked out of their homes because of greedy zionists out of Palestine. The comparison is more like the colonists of early America killing and evicting Native Americans. Luckily there are brave Jewish people like historian Ilan Pape that covered this in detail: http://www.amazon.com/Ethnic-C... Wake up and smell the facts.

Comment Waze to occupy people (Score 0) 199

The Zionist propaganda machine has completely dominated public television to not dare show that there is apartheid in Israel, or that there are sky high walls separating Palestinians from Israelis to not have such occurrences happen in the first place. They too have dominated www.reddit.com/r/worldnews with every article slammed with tons of deceitful comments regarding the occupation. Could you kindly leave this site alone? It has no place here.

Love how we're supplying US presidents the tools to become the world's most ever powerful tyrant:

- Strongest army in the world that's placed all over the world.
- Surveillance abilities on virtually anyone on the planet in real time.
- Drones soon hovering on virtually anyone on the planet.

Before you know it the presidential 2 term maximum will be nulled by one powerful enough, all while Americans forgetting the powers they once had to prevent this from happening in the first place.

I don't get why people think they have the right to never ever feel ill/offended. Sure you learn about a genocide and feel awful, but guess what? That's a part of learning history, human psychology, politics, etc. More so a part of the human experience. Get on with it already!

When Smart People Make Bad Employees 491

theodp writes "Writing for Forbes, CS-grad-turned-big-time-VC Ben Horowitz gives three examples of how the smartest people in a company can also be the worst employees: 1. The Heretic, who convincingly builds a case that the company is hopeless and run by a bunch of morons; 2. The Flake, who is brilliant but totally unreliable; 3. The Jerk, who is so belligerent in his communication style that people just stop talking when he is in the room. So, can an employee who fits one of these poisonous descriptions, but nonetheless can make a massive positive contribution to a company, ever be tolerated? Quoting John Madden's take on Terrell Owens, Horowitz gives a cautious yes: 'If you hold the bus for everyone on the team, then you'll be so late that you'll miss the game, so you can't do that. The bus must leave on time. However, sometimes you'll have a player that's so good that you hold the bus for him, but only him.' Ever work with a person who's so good that he/she gets his/her own set of rules? Ever been that person yourself?"

200 Students Admit Cheating After Professor's Online Rant 693

Over 200 University of Central Florida students admitted to cheating on a midterm exam after their professor figured out at least a third of his class had cheated. In a lecture posted on YouTube, Professor Richard Quinn told the students that he had done a statistical analysis of the grades and was using other methods to identify the cheats, but instead of turning the list over to the university authorities he offered the following deal: "I don't want to have to explain to your parents why you didn't graduate, so I went to the Dean and I made a deal. The deal is you can either wait it out and hope that we don't identify you, or you can identify yourself to your lab instructor and you can complete the rest of the course and the grade you get in the course is the grade you earned in the course."
