Something not working out at home? Blame either the US, Israel, or Islam if you're one of the first two.

Oh god damnit.
Clerks 2.
Clearks two isn't anything. And now my post looks dumb. Great.
We're taking it back!
And just like "Porch Monkeys", the idea that someone would be so attached to using "Hacker" as a positive is hilariously absurd.
Yep, that's what we're up to. It makes perfect sense. No falsifiability or critical thinking failures there, no sir.
Noah: Not that it’s any of your business, but I plan to teach.
Archer: Anthropology.
Noah: What? Yes!
Rip: To, uh, anthropology majors?
Archer: Thus continuing the circle of “Why bother?”
Yea, you take that anonymous coward obviously telling a joke! Get your facts straight or get the fuck out!
And once survival becomes too easy, evolution simply rewards whoever breeds the most.
First: This wouldn't be a war like Afghanistan or Iraq, because the US would most likely only be concerned with destroying the Iranian military and forcing them out of the strait of Hormuz. This would be largely an air war, and the US would likely suffer very few casualties as a result. We could destroy their navy, inflict massive military casualties, and cripple their ability to project force into the strait without more than a few boots on the ground, and most likely this is how it would go.
Second: None of that matters, because Iran does not gain from a war with the US. It would be an absolute disaster for their people and it would likely force their government out of power. The reason that they're doing this is because Ahmadinejad needs a scapegoat in order to keep his popularity up, and calling out the US and Israel at every opportunity is a lot easier than dealing with real issues. Hes been doing it for years, the only reason hes making more noise now is because his popularity is dwindling.
I know I'll probably get modded -1 for pointing this out, but you're a fucking moron.
Sony doesn't hate gamers, they just have absolutely no respect for them.
Those who actively harm others. Its pretty simple really.
That isn't necessarily true. As with most things, the situation dictates, but there are certainly a lot of situations where you want the enemy dead rather than wounded. Most situations in fact.

Ahh, modded down by the usual slashdot sycophants. Anything pro-US, anti-socialist, or anti limousine-liberal is modded down as low as it will go.
Is Al Gore up in arms over this?
It seems like the sort of thing that ought to tear him away from the manbearpig hunt, considering that this is guaranteed to cause observable climate change.
Seriously? Look at the posts above you. The clear majority are blatantly bashing the US, just like every single topic that has anything to do with politics on slashdot.
Hell, Iran is better liked on slashdot than the US.
