Thanks. I misunderstood the intent and already apologized in another post to that poster. After reading other posters here in the thread that basically mentioned sainthood, etc. for Gates, I let it color my interpretation of that post, I

Weird. I was polite, didn't insult the poster I replied to above and provided sources of evidence and my suppositions based upon said evidence. Instead of simply downvoting me and nothing more, I would've expected other posters he

There's certainly ideas and actions to respect from povertycure.org However, povertycure.org seems to be embraced by quite a few neo-libertarians, neo-cons and the specific page you linked to is high on platitudes and fairly low on fac

I have no real judgment about fitness apps, watches, etc., but I am curious about why so many people use them? If one doesn't have health issues and/or not a professional athlete - why would one want to keep track of fitness so cl

I'm saddened that Apple has forced the hand of their customers to push for this lawsuit. Apple should have issued a recall and replacement program for this early 2011 MacBook Pro GPU defect a long while ago and now it's come to th

Um, what? I didn't mention anything of the sort. How did you hallucinate all that from my comment? There are clearly misogynistic comments there including saying that all American women are "entitled, selfish babies", etc.

Wow, the comment section under the BW article is filled with really pathetic, misogynistic comments. It's no wonder why so many of them commenting there are single.
