Horseshit, that's humanity for you. Most humans would like most decisions made for them, preferably while they are unaware that it's happening. Blaming that particular trait on an economic system is fucking stupid.

Because it's in swedish and makes me think of dead moose. Seriously though, that set of movies is completely different after playing Magicka.

Exactly, the man's an idiot, especially this gem "The United States' high-technology, high-price, and high-maintenance weaponry is of relatively little value in such conflicts." What he fails to understand is that it is our high tech overwhelming advantage that forces them to use methods such as IEDs, since we ream their asses in any conventional confrontation.

But, But, the corporations.

Sure, but we'll have to kill off the majority of the populations of China, India, and Africa.

Of course, there's the fact that the meat portion of the diet has jack all to do with the obesity condition of the population, but lets not let facts get in the way of a good rant.

Also, the phrase "corporate sponsored corruption" has 2 too many words.

That's because you didn't use the car analogy. Namely, IE is the car, their internal to the computer directories are the driveway and their postal box, their internal to the network directories are the closest town and stores along normal roads, and anything with www uses the highway to get where it needs to. A vast simplification which can be wrong if you use an internal DNS, but otherwise quite correct.

This is a really really stupid decision when you consider that the number of american households reporting gun ownership rose from 41-47% from last year to this year.

And yes, I know a modern JATO rocket would immediately launch a car into the air, but the early gens were much weaker.

Only a redneck would strap a JATO to a car. Hell, Oak Lawn is nothing but rednecks and nuclear physics. Rednecks are perfectly innovative. "Hey Guys, Watch This!" is practically religious scripture among them.

Sorry, but even if true that doesn't cut the mustard. These are not souped up muscle cars with bog-standard braking systems, and even if true that the accelerator stuck the brakes would have been more than able to have slowed and stopped the car. All of the "malfunctions" reported continuous hard acceleration.

*blinks* You're not well versed in the effect of turbulence on localized airspeed or altitude are you? The sensors will report airspeeds that are only possible in a dive, combined with the loss of altitude even though the angle of attack is level or steady could easily cause software to attempt to pull out of the "dive". That assumes that the plane is allowed to override human input, which is a seriously fucking asinine design if true.

Which happens primarily because it's illegal and not taxed, and thus monitored, like every other profession.

They celebrate Saturnalia? news to me.
