Hitler was very good at manipulating people and forcing them to do what he wanted without them even knowing it.
Yeah, because when Hitler created publicly celebrated policies which outlawed German-Jewish marriages "for the protection of Germain heritage," and openly allowed an attack on the Jewish community on Crystal Nacht, an incident which gained worldwide attention and demonstrated exactly what was going on in Germany, and then wrote that book which kind of had the moral "and so I will eradicate the Jews when I come to power", he was so subtle.
People who think that somehow Hitler needed to hide what was going on need to get a clue, what was going on was no secret, and everyone was complicit in their participation, whether directly involved or choosing to do nothing to stop it. Blaming Hitler for somehow being individually responsible for the genocide is completely ignorant, and disregards the fact that genocide is only possible with a societal wide effort, expressed either in active participation or apathy.

The FBI exceeded its authority and got beaten down by the American justice system because they acted illegally. It is not sanctioned for government agencies to treat citizens this way, and any court case will easily be found in favor of the defendant.
But it doesn't change the fact that this is all irrelevant to how information and thinking patterns have been "constricted" by the US government. It has always been illegal to conspire illegal acts or incite violence, and the fact that the US government has gotten more nosey and developed a tendency for violating your right to privacy doesn't reflect any new active restriction of knowledge and discussion that wasn't already illegal before the Bush administration's policies.
I agree that the efforts to invade private life are disturbing, but you are mislabeling invasions of privacy with constriction of thinking patterns.

And what is the point of your post? My topic isn't spammy as oppose to what you've just posted. No one ask for your opinion, if you don't want to view this page then just don't comment and leave. So obvious. <_<
Commenting on the obvious worthlessness of something is still a valid view to to express in discussion, which is what this board as a discussion forum is attempting to promote.

Now, honestly, does the fact that we elected Bush into office change the fact that he still introduced policies that constrict our way of thinking and thus could be labeled a dictator? Remember that people elected Hitler into office as well. I just dislike Bush more because we actually kept him in office in the one opportunity we got to get his ass out of there.
Please enlighten us as to how any of the policies established by the Bush administration have "constricted" your thinking. A list of books you've been prevented from taking out of the library because of President Bush? Popular websites our government censors? Perhaps you can just show me the statute which outlaws unpatriotic speech, Bush passed one of those, right?
I question if you even understand what the term dictator means.

Bush's reflexes are impressive. That shoe was fucking fast.

Answer to question 1: I expect clothes and practical things like a new pair of gloves.
Answer to question 2: I actually want those things : /
I feel old all of a sudden.

The very fact that people believe in instant judgement upon death"
No one believes that, even evangelicals and other nut jobs. Judgement doesn't come until after the Rapture and all that jazz. Right now everyone's just lying in the ground, waiting (which is why everyone needs a tombstone, so that their bodies may be found on the day of judgment and their fate may finally be determined).

Ever read a credit card number over the phone for a pizza? That's a damn sight more dangerous than buying anything online.
Holy shit people do that

Late Fall=Winter
Global Warming my ass. <_<
Winter = December 21, 12 days away.
Come on, it doesn't even get real cold until after New Years. February looks a looooooong ways away right now.

Don't look at the original language, don't study the intent of what is said, don't give anything a second thought. Just read the Book and pull another bs religion out of your ass. I'm not stopping you. I have a different method though which works for me B)
I'm shocked to learn that you know Aramaic.
-
It's not even winter yet and people here are complaining. I see people walking around in friggin' fur parkas and mittens.
I guess being one of the few who actually had to go south to get to Boston for college makes it easy, but I swear all the people from California are acting like it's the end of the world, and we haven't even had any accumulation yet.

I think you're lonely, and created this thread as a cry for help.

The only thing I know of that people stereotype people from Massachewplacethingy is that they're gay. Stupid government T_T
And what exactly is that supposed to mean?
-
I'm talking to you.
But seriously, Cows are high in intelligence. They even get excited when they solve intellectual challenges. Just because they're big creatures with few real defensive capabilities doesn't make them dumb. It makes them vulnerable.
Irrelevant: your first claim was that cows are more intelligent than dogs.
Also, "Solve intellectual challenges"? The fuck?
You still haven't met a cow.

I've always thought that being able to comprehend, speak, and write every language would be quite handy, considering most people can't talk to the other 95% of the world. It would be very culturally rewarding.

Probably as much as I wish to murder you and everyone you love.
Hypothetical answer.

I actually had a chance to attend a concert given by Tuvan throat singers, who could manipulate overtone series to sing multiple notes at once. Wonderful, really.

So you have bad hardware experiences, which means the company's hardware is all bad.
Setting aside that this is talking about computers, not MP3 players: do you know the cost of shrinking NAND flash? No? I thought not.
Sure, I guess you can ignore the part of my post where I said 'maybe it's just me,' because it does make your post looks more bamf when you do. And yeah, you can overinflate how much I talked about iPods in your response to make it look like I completely missed the mark, despite the fact that I only mention them in a passing and that most of my gripes actually come from dealing with these computers for a long time. And you know what, I'll let you bring up irrelevant information positioned as a counterargument to something I never said. But that's just because I like you.

Hands off you dogs!

You know who I am, so you know I am joking or not.
Oh, do I ever know.

And handsome too.

I think this forum has a policy against advertising in threads. I think evangelism counts.
Besides, everyone knows the end of the world is coming when Hercolubus engulfs us all, why you would even want to debate this is...
