Incorrect. Why should I download something that I can not use?

« on: December 12, 2013, 10:17:48 PM »Q. Are rich people better than poor people?
A. Yes, they are.
Q. Are rich people smarter than poor people?
A. Yes, they are.
Q. I disagree. There are plenty of poor scientists and starving professionals out in the world.
A. Well, if they were so smart they wouldn't be poor now, would they?
Q. But what about Brittany Spears, surely she is just a dumb blonde who got lucky. How can you say that she is better than anyone else?
A. Brittany Spears spent years of her life training to become a singer and had the wherewithal to get herself to the top. She made the right connections and had the drive to succeed, unlike you.
Q. What about all of the people who were just born into money. You can't really say that they are smarter or better than a poor person.
A. Yes you can. When parents reproduce they are really just making copies of themselves. The people born into wealth are copies of their parents who worked hard and succeeded. Children are a continuation of one's [successful] self
Q. But poor people don't really have the opportunity to make it. When you are born into poverty it's hard to get out of poverty.
A. That excuse may have worked in the middle ages, but these days there are endless opportunities available. One does not even need to go to college to educate themselves in a field. With the internet and free public libraries it is possible to self educate yourself in fields like technology, law, or business. There are countless self-educated techs and businessmen out there. Abraham Lincoln passed the Bar Exam without ever setting a foot into Law School, after all.
It is also possible to start a business these days without a heavy investment in capital. Internet businesses are regularly run out of bedrooms.
Q. But how can poor people get themselves out of poverty when they are holding a full time job?
A. If you are working from 8 to 5 and turn on the TV when you get home then you obviously do not have a drive to succeed. It's your fault that you are poor, clearly.

Philosophy, Religion & Society / Re: Is Islam a radical religion or is everyone else wrong?
« on: December 12, 2013, 05:49:13 AM »I wasn't able to watch the video. I am on my computer, but the connection is very slow (its bleeding off a neighbour's connection). First off, IRUSH is right. NO religion, not Judaism, not Christianity, not Islam, are going to say that they are wrong. That would be stupid.I don't want muslims in my country either, or even in my continent. But this is, how should I put it... pretty radical.
As for Muslims generally, yes, I do despise them, and have never made it a secret. Only the latest models can talk. All the older ones are still swinging from their tails. I don't care where they live, as long as its not in the USA or Israel. Both nations should deport every Muslim there. As far as the USA goes, the ones descending from somewhere else should get a free ride back, and warned that any return to the USA will result in them being shot. The ones that are converts here should be allowed to choose a Muslim country to go to, and should be offered the same treatment.
As far as Israel goes, EVERY SINGLE Arab needs to be deported from Greater Israel, without exception. Any who refuse to go need to be escorted out at gunpoint.
I'm no Nazi. I don't believe in murder, even when the receiving end is a camel jockey. But they need to go back where they came from, and need to be allowed to live there, and we should likewise have no Westerners or Israelis allowed in those countries for any purpose other than business. And we should become energy independent as soon as possible, thus being able to forbid any American or Israeli from being in those countries period, under penalty of losing their citizenship. Its a very elegant solution, and no one, not even a camel jockey, would have to die.

« on: December 09, 2013, 12:27:29 PM »PS4 is demonstrably more powerful, however. For example: running games in actual 1080p rather than 720p or upscaled 900p like the Xbox One.
Please tell me you're joking because I can't believe that the latest console from Microsoft doesn't do full HD resolution.
Quote
Display 4K, 1080p, 1080i, and 720p resolutions

Science may not have an answer for the origin of the universe, but saying "God did it" is not only the easiest way to explain it, but I think it's also a very cheap and lazy way, and it doesn't make it true.
