Better late than never

If the US turns up as late for the next world war as it did for the last two it will miss all the fun. Three years late for the first and two years late for the second.

@ANDY25

My father fought in WWII alongside the Brits in North Africa. Dare I say I can’t ever forget the million who perished have the hands of those who ENGINEERED the twentieth century misery, WWI and WWII? My father was lucky, he got out alive and in one piece. 

The author’s implication, if you read, “that only an engineered World War III can seemingly change (maybe THAT was Obama's Change?)”, was that American’s engineer world wars, be it Bush or Obama.

That said, historically we got sucked into world wars the Europeans engineered. As you said, “take nothing away from the states and the stunning tide turning support they brought”. Imagine the world today if Americans weren’t successful in ENDING these conflicts in Europe and in the Pacific. The “Allies” would have never pulled it off with out us. Many more would have perished, more than you pointed out. 

As far as the “US squaddies taking the wreaths off of war memorials and wearing them round their necks like mardi gras beads” That’s precisely what they fought and died for, the freedom to do just that. And, I thank the dead hero’s and god for it. Better they should pick up a wreath, than a gun. I’m sure those men who gave their lives wouldn’t want it any other way.

No mater how you cut it, the author’s comment was way out of line.

WW3

@sparks, 
no we will never forget., but just to get some perspective:-
~567,000 US soldiers died in WW1/2
~101,000,000 peeps from other countries died in WW1/2.
don't get me wrong, i take nothing away from the states and the stunning tide turning support they brought, but comming across with that attitude seems to spit in the face of the other hundered million other people who gave their lives in the name of the freedom that they fought for.
just like when i see US squaddies taking the wreaths off of war memorials and wearing them round their necks like mardi gras beads.

I think you'll find we invented the USA, SPARKS, so we can do whatever the hell we want with it!

Jensen...

The last picture there looks like Jensen of Nvidia. AMD must've been making Jensen's life pretty tough nowadays, Jensen must've thought making freakin' slow X3100's is a throwback to the good old days when people didn't need too much 3D punch and he still had 8 hours sleep. Hence, back to good ol' Intel.

Oh wait, that ain't Jensen, just his brother. Sorry 'bout that.

All AMD and Intel PR flakes should be fired

Both companies could save a lot of money by just booting these folks. They aren't needed. Consumers buy what they want, not what some talking head tells them they should buy. These PR types should go sell sand to the Arabs.

WW III

WW III???

Yeah, the Europeans will start it (again), and you’ll bury hundreds of thousands of Americans in your soil, for the third time. Or did you forget??

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
