Owning a kindle doesn't mean you purchase all your material through Amazon or that Amazon can remove locally synced files from the device. I manage my library with Calibre, and have the wi-fi of the Kindle turned off to conserve more battery.

For starters, there is no official religion in the United States. Many people may be Christian, but to say the "US was supposed to be a christian country" is false. Secondly, there is precedent for capital punishment in the Bible. I don't care one way or another about what the Bible says, but your points are flawed/weak.

You don't want an option to hide white items since they can be used in crafting. You get more quality per armourer scrap/whetstone which is kept when you upgrade to a blue or yellow item. It's also cheaper to start your crafting on white items to get a couple of magic qualities you want on item before you upgrade to rare and use the more expensive currency. Lastly, 5 linked and 6 linked socketed items are really important later on. If you are only looking for rares, you are missing out on a lot of potentially well-linked items.

Didn't you see the movie Inception?

Shooting has more to do with what your dominant eye is then with what "handedness" you are.

Problem is, there is absolutely no consistency. I can read a hard/paper back book but I can't read on my Kindle? How often do I need to hear about buckling my seat belt or putting on an oxygen mask in the event we lose cabin pressure? The only portion of the safety spiel I find important is the flight attendants making sure the people in the exit row are physically capable

Depends...is your name Robin Hood?

I think you are confusing "legal" with "moral"

From my understanding, it's not that the USPS is being required to put today's dollars into a pension plan, but tomorrow's, next weeks, and the dollars 5 years from now in as well. If I recall (correctly?), they are being required to make the next 20 years worth of funding within the next few years.

I think its more like your adviser telling you to put away 10% of every paycheck into a 401k account, but do the next 20 years worth of deposits all within the next 5

To be fair, in some countries you actually do pay up front at a restaurant for food. Well said otherwise though.

If you think the lack of sales tax is the only reason why Amazon is succeeding, you are highly mistaken. I often find much better deals without taking sales tax into account. They offer convenience, they offer a much larger variety, their customer service is excellent (and I don't have to deal with annoying sales people who have no idea what they are talking about), and they don't need to pay $$$ to showcase their goods in a brick and mortar. It's hard to beat their base prices. Unless I need the item today, there is no reason for me to go to a brick and mortar store -- I'll get it in 2 days with Amazon Prime.

How is this modded insightful?

If it's too expensive for them to connect to the internet to update their anti-virus, it's too expensive for them to connect to the internet and contract malware. That's where the majority of it is coming from. I don't doubt expense might be part of the reason (running unlicensed/unpatched windows machines or trying to find free software that comes riddled with spyware) but I don't see the connection you are making being the primary reason...

With debt? Something that our government is well acquainted with?

Correlation does not indicate causation.
