I will only concede the cult of leader. Substantiate the others.

Can you point me to the finer details distinguishing the two? Militaristic √ Gun worshiping √ Hatred and fear of minorities √ Religious (hypocritical) manipulation √ Personal enrichment at the cost of nation and general population √ Cult of Leader &#8730...

More likely the GOP will blame McCain for losing her 2008 Vice Presidency and not dying to make way for her. Makes a change from blaming the Jewish liberal press for stabbing them in the back. The Republicans still haven't forgiven them for losing WWII. :)

Why do so many Americans fall for Show Tent hokum? Think you would have wised up after the last "good ol' boy". Wise, smart and knows which people? The filthy rich talentless ones willing to pay to have good governance subverted so they can rip off the people? Sigh! I blame the education...

What do you think her chances are, and is this a sign that the Republicans have nobody to aspire to the top so they are going for someone who can pitch for the bottom?

My brand new iMac 24" Alum purchased last May had wireless networking fail on me all the time. Apple would give me endless telephone support but no actual repair. Then the powersupply failed in November and after 2 failed attempts to repair both issues, I sent it back and got a replacement iMac...

I've considered going the refurbished route several times, but each time have been able to negotiate something similar from my Department store. Including 12 months free finance. Which requires some discipline but not much. The money I put aside in an interest bearing account and that goes...

Glad you magically came to that conclusion. ;)

The Old Testament is certainly not a loving patch. However the New Testament, the Buddhist scriptures, Confusionism, Daoism, the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh, the teachings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and Zoroaster are all admirable for their calls for peace and love of your fellow man. Islam is...

Sura IV:23-24 "Forbidden to you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal and maternal aunts... Also married women, except those whom you own as slaves. Such is the decree of God". Mohammed himself had Marya, a coptic Christian given to him by the Egyptian governor. Her...

I heard it as what the founders of the EEC thought they were going to achieve, and what they got.

Everyone assumes the Muslims are just like us, just a bit different, and have the same values. Has anyone actually read the Koran? Some of the Koranic values I have trouble with are: "Thou shalt kill." "Thou shalt beat thy wife" "Thou can rape and get away with it".

As a major support person on the Mac forums, I can tell you I am regularly censored by the volunteer admins, for a range of sometimes bizarre and contradictory reasons. In the discussions on this we had it repeatedly "explained" to us that it wasn't censorship it was "Terms & Conditions". We...

As the Mad iRack skit says: "Apple is listening to what you are saying …and the answer is NO!" or as I often put it… "The answer is No! What was the question?"

Well I go back to the 80's when Apple had 15-20% user share. Everything since then has been the echoes of opportunities lost due to hubris.

"Wish I said that" Me

I buy my Macs from this really nice geezer down the Newpond Road. His barrow's out every Saturday and he gives lifetime support + a free mouse mat.

The bad guys are rewarded, the good guys punished, the "police" get their cut, and no-one wants to learn from history… …and you wonder how we keep getting back in deep shit.

I have the latest model 24" Alum iMac. Whilst I like it for everything else, I have been unable to color balance it due to the glossy reflections, uneven lighting and glare. The white 24" iMacs were OK. I am hesitant to buy the rather expensive Cinema displays, just to try and fix the problems...

Seeing as that is obviously true, I'll have to go get an even larger air conditioned 4WD, particularly now that with my weight problem it is really uncomfortable for me to walk from the sofa to the fridge.
