Oh, I don't blame the US. It's still true that we follow everything you do, like lap dogs.
Mike Mullikin wrote: True, but the areas and level of restraint are up for discussion.
Absolutely. At which point, it becomes a nuanced discussion, which didn't seem to be what you were aiming for, at first.
Mike Mullikin wrote: I think you're being naive. There are entire segments of nearly all western societies where generation after generation don't work. They rely solely on government programs for their existence.
I know, they live down the road from me. But, if you asked them, they would not say 'I don't believe in personal responsibility'.
Mike Mullikin wrote: OK, but what if someone is too lazy to work at all - can't even be bothered with being dependable. As tax payers are we expected to feed them, clothe them, house them?
Apparently we are, and I agree that's not reasonable, or even viable.
Mike Mullikin wrote: I can't speak about other governments but the US government has proven time after time that it is HIGHLY inefficient and COMPLETELY untrustworthy.
Mostly because both sides are more interested in blaming each other, than making it work. But, at the same time, what you pay for health care, or even health insurance, is obscene compared to what we pay. So, your system is clearly broken, in financial terms.
Mike Mullikin wrote: Our pre-ObamaCare systems were definitely broken but Obamacare is TRULY awful.
Mostly because of compromises to create a system that stood any chance of getting through.

The shocking thing is that he is a senator and as such should tow the party line 100%. Tony doesn't seem to be in a hurry to do anything about it though.

I wonder if Tony is happy to test the waters for a bit, and doesn't actually disagree.

I 'liked' this one:
"...I learned that Adolf Hitler was a very moderate, balanced, caring and compassionate man..."
My grandpa would say otherwise I'm sure!

If mainstream parties dont do something about Islam this kind of politics will get in power.

Mainstream parties are not idiotic enough to ever want to 'do something about Islam'. But, of course, the lunatic fringe of Islam loves people like you. the more you say things like that, the more you push people towards extremism, by negating the legitimacy of anything else.

Take it to the Soapbox so you can have a proper rant at the subject.

It wasn't a rant; more along the lines of utter incredulity.
However, if it makes you want to rant then you have my blessing. Feel free...

Tasty flame broiled delicious murder.
The proper response to that sort of idiocy is to go to the steakhouse for lunch today.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Quote: "I see no difference between eating animals and paedophilia [sic]," he replied.
Nice to see they've added a "[sic]" after a correct spelling.
Quote: "If I'm introduced to anyone who eats beings, I walk away."
That's handy to remember if you ever bump into him - just mention that you eat meat, and he'll disappear up his own arse.

So, I want to look in to using group policy to run something on start up. A google gets an article for XP. It says 'you're using Windows 8, go to the windows 8 centre'. So I go. It takes me to a general page. There's a search box. I search, and find tons of articles. None for Windows 8, they all link back to that page.
