Why can't we all just get along? We don't all have to like each other, just tolerate each other and respect each other's rights.
Arguing counterfactual histories. You know the thinking process has gone astray when that's the best people can come up. "Thank goodness for [some historical event], if it weren't for [that historical event] then we wouldn't have [something wonderful] but instead we'd have [something terrible].

Heh, people didn't like my idea for a spherical touch screen, but Apple want to make touch sensitive tennis rackets. I wonder if the rackets would have displays in the handles or just sensors.
The monitors I have at work now are too wide. I'm not watching videos, I'm using programs. They aren't tall enough, though. If I'm looking at the middle of the screen, the controls on the side of the screen aren't visible. When I read a pdf file, I have to make the page not fill the screen for optimum reading. I've never used big LCD monitors
until this month, and I'm not entirely pleased with them. I'm used to my 17 inch CRT, though I think a 19 inch would be better. A square monitor would be nice. We have so many choices of stuff, but no square monitors. Why is that? - Sue - Friendfeed is best
One of my students did that, too -- I wonder if there is a psych term for monitor envy? - Mickey Schafer

Why don't they go ahead and make monitors with 2048 pixels across so I can have two windows 1024 pixels across? The have to stop in 1900 pixel range. Go ahead and give us power of two lovers the extra hundred or so pixels.

When trimming the federal budget, don't stop at the bone; slice all the way through and leave what you lopped off to rot.
Owing to the increasing price of gasoline and metal, military personnel must stay where they are and fire bullets made of pudding.
Government is to society as termites are to wood.
Why the heck can't we see websites that we are logged in to translated into a language we can read? How can I use my Renren account when I can't read the page? I can translate each line by highlighting it and righclicking and selecting translate, but that's not at all the same as being able to read a translate version of the page.
The suspect attempted to explain his repeated sexual groping of strangers as practicing for the TSA exam.

When you hear a song by the Carpenters, does it make you think about Captain and Tennille?
It's all financially feasible if you can make someone else pay for it.
You know what fuck you, blocked. Dumbass. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy
Financially unfeasible things don't become feasible by giving a special name to the group that does them.
Maybe the reason a hundred people have been waiting for 4 years for a pothole to be patched is that a hundred people have been waiting for 4 years for the pothole to be patched.

A buddy of mine lives on a private road, and his neighbors and he have to put up the money for road repairs. Highways tend to be tricky, though. - Alex Scrivener

Google seems to be becoming a bit arbitrary about logging you out of your Google acccount.
If only the idea that we shouldn't take the law into our own hands could be extended to include legislators.
A person who hunts down and imprisons or kills the killer of a loved one is called a criminal, a vigilante; an outlaw. A person who sees to it that in the future, hypothetical people who hypothetically kill hypothetical strangers get imprisoned or punished is called a legislator.
The core tenet of libertarianism is respect for the rights of others. That's why it's so unpopular; most people care little for other's rights. When people violate the rights of others on their own or in small groups it's called crime. When people violate the rights of others on a large scale, in a premeditated manner, it's called government.

Should forum sites - specifically the Second Life forums -close for a few weeks a year? This might give some folks a chance to break their addiction and find something else to do, possibly something more rewarding, and reduce the tendency for the forums to be composed of :"the old timers" versus the n00bs.
I finally get to use a Mac a little bit. Can't say I'm liking it much.
All operating systems are meant for different people. LogEx, if you've been using Mac for as long as you can remember, odds are you wanna use it more. - wiredgnome
Sarah Palin has tarnished the word "maverick". I just saw the web page of a business with "maverick" in it's name. Being reminded of Ms. Palin worked against that business. My memory of James Garner won't be quite the same thanks to Sarah Palin. Phooey on you, Sarah.
I thought McCain was the maverick? - Alex Scrivener
Quora says there are 6 items related to me. It then lists 6 people that have started following me. Then it has a horizontal line, and then it lists one more person that's following me. Six plus one equals seven, not six. So, the question is: Why can't Quora count?
Blogs report New York Times stories on blogs are losing relevancy.
Everything designed by human designers is going astray. I guess it's the Peter Principle multiplied by Murphy's Law, plus the "It's hard to get people to understand something when their income depends on them not understanding" factor.
In Quora, a person asked a question, but they are the only one allowed to answer the question. While I can't answer the question, I can edit the question itself, and add details to the question. This makes little sense to me.
What with Twitter having lists, what the point of having people that you follow?
If the brutal dictator's "security police" union campaigns for higher pay owing to the risk involved in attacking large numbers of protesters, do you support them in their cause?
I see someone counseling people not to go to college for a profession that only averages $75,000 a year, partially as a result of having a hundred thousand dollars in school debt. I'd be immensely better off than I am financially if I'd done such a thing.
