Yeah, they make really good hammers. And I once saw someone open a beer with one. They have sooooo many uses other than killing things.

First one sounds odd. What sort of "clinic"? That's not really a word I associate with medicine. Second clearly sounds like a fuck up. Current "wait to first treatment" target is 2 weeks. What happened when you tried to sue?

Basic brain washing routine. You want a religion. Just pick one. Stop trying to convince yourself you're rational. You're a human being: you're not rational. Irritating post. Why the hell did I read this?

I'm dubious. Be cool to see some hard numbers.

"the American people will resist" Some will, some won't, some will follow a leader. People tackled hijackers before 911 and people have tackled hijackers since 911.

"simply smash one group of soldiers to another" Wow, massive simplification of a highly effective discipline based strategy (nicked off the Romans).

Well, of course they are. You have an insurance based health system. Every time you go to your doctor they order every possible test so they can claim it, plus their mark up, against your insurance. How did you think the USA manages to have

I can see your point generally, but in this case, I can't see how being copied is anything other than flattering. It means the idea was good. Regards your second sentence, that is what I'm saying. A large company that's put lots of resource

The problem with asking "Why?" is that you leave yourself open a retort of "Why not?". Unless your argument managed to cover that possibility (which yours didn't) it's not a meaningful question.

You seem to be using a different definition to the word "flattery" than any I know. Being copied is inherently flattering whether you want them to copy you or not.

Err, no. He used the word copyright. Somehow you translated that into stealing. You did, definitely, misinterpret what was said. You can spend your life arguing over who copied whom and by how much - or you can accept the flattery, get on a

I don't understand this comment or the earlier ones saying Iceland is "unimportant". It's a modern democracy with a rich history. It's suffered one of the worst financial crashes and recovered more rapidly than the rest of us. It's got crim

To me (English), "credit card" and "debit card" are interchangeable. While, as a user of the cards, I know what the differences are, as a vendor, I don't really care. I don't think I've seen any online services that offer wire transfer.

The phrase "polite conversation" is meaningless in its ambiguity. I assume from the context that for you it refers to words one may or may not use to maintain propriety. To me it refers to the meaningless pleasantries one uses when temporar

It's humourless, homogenous, prissy, inhuman (in the sense that it removes emotional context) and fucking boring. Correlating professionalism with the above is very USAian. You should focus on breadth of successful interaction on the human
