    If you think that's the problem, you need to read more: http://www.aish.com/jw/me/48883732.html (That's from 2001, and a Hadith too) For a less biased perspective: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_antisemitism Israel being a country there is the excuse but not the actual cause. For...

    Shopping for a new Android phone

    @steinman I have to disagree, but not on the facts, but on the usefulness of such. I'd say that the main thing most people want in their phones is simple: is the UI fast or not? Everything should be fast, and come up instantly. Almost everything else is secondary to that. When talking about...

    If you can SURF your flow, methinks you need to see a doctor. Or an exorcist. Or something.

    Just like it was SURELY going to be right-wing people (extremists, whatever) and not Muslims who are going to start killing gays, and other groups right-wingers are claimed to want to destroy? Oh wait: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Orlando_nightclub_shooting Given that a number of...

    Our PM apparently doesn't think that Jews are worth mentioning when commemorating the Holocaust: Trudeau erases Jews from the Holocaust, again This is twice now, as he points out in the article.

    Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

    Part of me wants to challenge you on that "out of shape" thing so you can see how terribly out of shape I am, but it'd be too painful. Still, I wish you well.

    I'd put this in our bathroom in a HEARTBEAT @Dirona if it wasn't for the fact that I don't want to know what the Cats would do with it.

    I think it's somewhat interesting that the libertarians have been drawn into the argument that the government has any business knowing/regulating what you own at all. What you do with it to others? Sure. But pre-crime seems to be somewhat anti-libertarian. Thus getting you into the argument...

    [News] The USA Police State will never satisfy its lust for beating, gassing, and imprisoning minorities

    I think it's this perception that is causing at least some of @blotsfan's attitude, but my perception of the issue is that there are literally MILLIONS of stops every day (thousands guaranteed, 6 figures likely IMO, 7 figures seems somewhat reasonable) in the USA where... nothing happens. At...

    Welcome to most/all of human history? Even in medical science, you only need look as recent as the 80s for an easy (and now accepted) example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptic_ulcer_disease#History They had to infect themselves to prove that they were right because decades of research...

    [News] The USA Police State will never satisfy its lust for beating, gassing, and imprisoning minorities

    Ha! Just a BJ? Start reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_sexual_misconduct_allegations Lewinski isn't even on that page. Rape, groping, and sexual harassment (probably because she wouldn't give him a BJ). And ya, the Spain stuff is scary.

    Apple will never satisfy my lust for cheap, powerful hardware

    This thread should REALLY be in the tech forum. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/apple-iphone-8-plus-falling-apart-bursting-open-battery-problems-charging-a7975406.html Some iPhone 8+ phones are bursting when charging due to battery swell.

    [Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

    The only "good" part here from what I can tell is that you don't seem to be blamed by either for this, they are directing it at each other, bypassing you. It could easily fall ON you, so if that's not happening, that at least is good. And this is somewhat horrible to say, are you in line for...

    Ash, you need to read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money It has value, just like any other money, because we believe it does, and/or you can exchange it for something you want. If that's other currency fine. If it's a material good, fine. Hell, even the Gold Standard assumes...
