Re:Why so many celebrities have died in 2016 on Sunday April 24, 2016 @03:13PM (#11560910)
It is probably just a sign that your era has or is ending. It is supposed to be like that. Remember when rock first appeared there must've been people just like you complaining about their dying era and how this new Elvis guy was pathetic. Is better to adapt and discover new genres. It's fun. Just keep an open mind. To me is far worse to be stuck in the past.

You are probably choosing the wrong people to be friends with. And yeah, doing things for people doesn't work in the same way that being the errant boy for the girl you liked in elementary or high school didn't work either.

Read a history book. The human nature is well documented.

It is naive to think we are all one happy human race. I wish it were so but it isn't. The "others" will have no problem killing you and dance on your grave. I guess that is why the saying goes "If you want peace, prepare for war"

Thankfully do to Trump I'm far more skeptical of stories like these. So I would not so readily believe what he is saying.
Is a case of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
If it helps most other religions have been just as bad at one time or another, Christianity, Judaism, etc... I instead prefer to pray to the Flying Spaguetti Monster. I beg you Spaguetti Monster, protect me from the wrath of dang!
Thank you. Of course you are right. It is all very complex and western powers have a lot of fault of what is happening right now. Unfortunately those guys will never be punished and instead we, the populations of the world are left yo suffer the consequences. Even I knew going into Iraq and Libia would leave those countries worse off.
It does have everything to do with Islam. It teaches intolerance. Remember that Islam is not just the book, it is the people that practice it.
What you are saying is factually true yet you are downvoted. You are in good company, galileo must've been downvoted a lot too.

The truth is that you cannot bring democracy overnight to a place and expect it to stick. It seems that the people of said country have to fight for it tooth and nail before it sticks.

Without us, what is the point of the planet existing? Seriously, who is left to enjoy it. You do realize that all life in planet Earth will die in around a billion years and the only chance of anything surviving beyond that will be left to intelligent life smart enough to leave the planet and take as many species as it can with it.

I can live with that

Isn't zika a real danger? From all the news I've been hearing there could soon ben an epidemic in Florida.

An actual physical invitation.
Re:EU hits Google with second antitrust charge on Wednesday April 20, 2016 @11:49AM (#11535293)
Neither do I. I would not be surprised at all if some company is behind this.
Re:Facebook is slowly eating the rest of the Internet on Tuesday April 19, 2016 @09:59AM (#11526964)
But without a formal invitation how can you just show up? I doubt the formal invitation would require facebook.
Re:Facebook is slowly eating the rest of the Internet on Tuesday April 19, 2016 @09:57AM (#11526938)
Every time I'm asked why I'm not on facebook I just say I don't need it. They usually never ask again and I have no problem keeping in touch with friends by text message even if they are heavy facebook users.
There is some type of coating that doesn't allow anything to stick to it. That is a start. I think is called enduroshield. It is not a permanent solution because it wears down but it would help.

Think of it as a metaphor. There is definitely something there acting independently of me. I try to veto it but I'm not always successful.

I don't know. It sounds a bit too much like excuses. I was also a teenager and was not stupid enough to try anything stupid. My reptilian brain always managed to stop me. Like this time I was going to get into a fist fight (it was not my first), I was willing but my reptilian brain was not in agreement. It actually tried to freeze my legs.
