Comment on Fuck the Troops by Heal The Jackson

Just want to answer this question:

So i ask you a question….if your in your house and someone points a gun at you, what do you do? do you, as you say troops should do and dont kill him because hes a person? Or do you save your life and take his?

And here’s the answer in the form of a question:

Well Iraq is not our home, so are you saying that if you break into someone’s house and despite most of them saying no stay out, you break down the door and come in guns blazing; then according to your logic is it wrong to defend your home in that instance?

Or maybe what you’re saying is that you have the moral right and it matters not what the homeowner wants, you know better and you will impose your will with a gun, and then in some backwards insane logic assume you are defending your self when you are the invader.

It’s the same Bullshit logic the Israeli government pumps out in the media, every-time they go into palestinian neighborhoods and shoot people who have rocks as weapons, then it’s always defensive, but when some palestinian kills themselves and takes Israelis with them then it’s an attack. If you’re going to pretend attacking someone on their own turf is defensive then it applies both ways, 911 must of been a defensive action.

Wait what am I saying, logic isn’t welcome in this country, I’m so sorry for trying to make sense of the stupidity. Read history books, it’s amazing how things repeat, not much is surprising if you know the past, it repeats you know and seriously stop giving me a headache with your inanity!

Wow, very nice guide there. I honestly had no idea what 3G meant, and I never really wondered about it either.

Comment on Consumerism, Materialism and Collecting by tektonick

As with the material things it is with certain immaterial things, media mostly. Even if I rent DVDs or books, and even if I re-sell the games I have played, the consumption of these things sometimes comes from a kind of collecting mentality. CivI was great, therefore CivIV must be even better, right?

It is a rare book/movie/game that expands my horizon, changes or even just moves me, and the more I have seen, the harder it gets to find these gems. Talk about jaded here…

Very few things are so deep that we can always discover something new in them. In my opinion, what can fascinate us far longer than any “consumables” are travel, learning new abilities, the company of other people, and any creative endeavor. I have derived far greater satisfaction from learning to juggle or to program a little than from any movie I have ever watched. These things usually take more effort than, say, reading a book, but at least they don’t need to be expensive (well, traveling can be an exception).

Comment on Habits and Routine by tektonick

Habits are not bad per se, it’s just difficult to get rid of bad or no longer useful habits and establish new, better ones. I think the problems start when you become too afraid, uncomfortable or lazy to break out of the routine. I find that there are all kinds of rationalizing thoughts going on explaining why not to try something new: it’s stupid, it’s dangerous, I don’t like the people there, I’m tired, the weather isn’t good enough, there will be time for it later, I just know that I will not enjoy this, etc. I’m aware of these thoughts, and it takes my conscious effort to try something new anyway. The thing is: usually I find out that I did not and often could not predict correctly what a new situation would be like. And most of the time I’m pleasantly surprised.

I am a Google Apps user and was about to go through the NuevaSync until I read your email and saw that it does not work with Google Apps. I agree that the synchronization with Google Apps calendars and iPhone should happen over the internet connection without having to Sync through a computer with a cable. A full iPhone integration with gmail would be nice, what I mean is iPhone can sync calendars and contacts with MS Exchange Server and MobileMe, why not with Google accounts? That I think is the best solution but it should come from Apple and Google.

I’m in the same boat and find this massively frustrating - and the kind of thing that makes me feel someone (Apple? MS?) is trying to strong-arm me into paying out for something I don’t want. The new Windows Calendar on Vista is simple, charming, and syncs beautifully with Google Calendar - but it won’t work with iTunes. And Microsoft might have got me to use Outlook when it was still bundled with Home/Student Office, but now, no way.
