It is my experience that people who have little tend to appreciate what they do have while those who have more complain about not having even more. It doesn't matter what "IT" is, the monkey part of our brain always wants even more of it. When that doesn't happen, the tendency is to focus on others as being the cause of not getting what they perceive to be deserved, hence complaining.

The internet has been around, as you understand it now, since the late 1990s. 1995 - 1996 is earliest analog to what we have now.

Once I get myself a new Mac Mini, my 3-ish year old one will go to the TV and be our media center. I need to wait a few more years now.

I love the fact that it's turning out that he's just like his brothers and fathers--empty.

how many people have you trolled that you know what the URL is?

You may also be discounting just how many helpers and "yes" men he had making his fantasies happen. It's always been about a smokescreen and pretending.

And "good" vs "evil" is relative anyway. Even someone like Hitler would have believed he was doing something for the better good, even if it was a completed twisted view. For me, what is important is internal self-consistency. Do you have a reasoned position and hold on to it? Then you are probably not stupid.

I agree. I was being ironic.

Careful. Zionists get very sad if you mention that Arabs are Semites.

They may not be for everyone but they help many.
