MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

Doesn't look like earbuds to me. Looks like an earpiece the secret service uses to communicate.

You're all losers. Reading this page is like watching Jerry Springer. Once and while it's fun to watch idiots arguing with each other.

Liberal is a very bad term and a failed concept. It doesn't work. It waists money. It's bad for society. Liberals don't know when to stop. They want a free ride for everyone. Not just the people who are truly incapable of caring for themselves. Those people should be helped. Not the criminal, drug dealing low lives that know what they're doing is wrong and do it any way. Liberals don't get it. Tax and penalize the hard working, successful people and give to the lazy criminals. The people in real need of help don't even end up getting helped by libs.

Amid all the juvenile flamings from both sides, let me just say: there are intelligent, rational voters, and lunatic fringes, on both sides of the fence. Just so happens the Republicans won

Wow, it is utterly amazing at the complexity and stupidity that come from people. I think everyone here forgets the most important thing about this 'war on terror', you cannot beat terrorism by killing people, that only breeds more terrorism. You need to educate those people, that is what will beat terrorism. Come on people, you all can't be so ignorantl and stupid. Maybe we should start by schooling the people here again...sheesh. I'm appalled.

Bush using an iPod makes me woryy that hhe is downloading illegal music. Give his name to the RIAA. He could be one of those pirates. Nah, he isn't smart enough. The person who thinks that liberal is a failed concept should watch a movie called "Hijacking Catastrophe" and read a book "Worse than Watergate" so that he might see what has really occurred at the highet levels of "Conservative" politics. Or don't you want to hear the truth? Charles probably can't read, so he should just watch the movie.

wtf,

Please go over to the middle east and try to educate those terrorist, please. I beg you and all of your liberal friends to go there and put your money where your mouth is. Go educate. Let's see what happens to you tools. You will be without a head in a nanosecond. Those cave men don't want to be educated. They only understand a bomb shoved up their own asses. Once you eliminate them you can then have a free society. It doesn't help when Iran and Syria are funding them though. Europe and other free nations should massively chip in and help democrotize Iran and Syria. All the hate filled, crazy imans should be exterminated. Then you'll see some progress.

the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) released a similar, but longer and more detailed report. Divided into two parts, it first documented "Suppression and Distortion of Research Findings at Federal Agencies,"

These political litmus tests for scientific advisory panels were particularly troubling, for they evidenced a basic misunderstanding of the panels' purposes. Scientific advisory committees are supposed to provide objective, unbiased information to guide government officials in making policy that will protect public health, occupational safety, and the environment - not to give an aura of respectability to policies that political leaders have decided upon in advance.

Magic word 'freedom'. God that's funny, on same page as G W B!!

Well, the wealthy, powerful, controlling elite has won by applying the age old divide-and-conquer technique. Even on a computer forum you have suckers from both sides of political spectrum hurling insults at each other. Don't you guys see what they have done? They've turned Americans against Americans. Both parties with the help of their propaganda organizations (Rush Limbaugh, Micheal Moore, CBS, Fox News, etc.) have told everyone that their fellow Americans who have differing views are scum. And, all of you guys have bought into it. Sad, really sad.

Commie, nazi, tree hugger, elitist, wing-nut....just keep hurling those insults at your neighbors...you numbskulls. You're suckers. Because the politicians are all just corporate whores who care nothing about the citizens. They know if they keep the citizens fighting with one another and bickering over irrelevant issues, they can continue to screw them over.

We've become a nation of Eric Cartmans. Loud mouthed and soulless. Sore losers, sore winners and mindless parrots of the BS spewed by the conglomerates that disseminate information.

So, all of you right-wingers go call Micheal Savage when you feel a good self-righteous hate coming on. All you left-wingers do the same on Air America radio. Just leave technology discussions alone. Jeez, there's no where to go where people just stick to the subject anymore.

Bush will be remembered for using an iPod and Clinton is remembered for using a cigar. In America, there's something for everyone.

Go Apple!

So the Pres and the VeePee are Pod people.

That explains a lot.

Looks like 1/2 the posters here are Pod people too.

One liberal maggot wrote "Apparently using an apostrophe is beyond the reach of Dubya supporters as well..."

**********

Apparently, knowing a typo when you see one is beyond the reach of liberals.

Both parties need to be rebuilt from the ground up.
Anyone that thinks the Demos are not equals in political corruption is just fooling themselves.

There's no respect for individual opinion in America anymore.

I blame America's political machine and a press that encourages conflict for ratings.

macs are easier for stupid people to use, silly.

you have to know a lot more about how computers work (And how to fix them) when you use windows... DLL hell!

anyhoo.

Interesting. Once again people prove that no matter where they are (Even in a Mac forum) they will try to indoctrinate everyone and anyone, regardless of their beliefs.

Yet, its even worse than that. At first it was a political debate. Then it became just none-sensical insults. Entire posts were just based around the words "Idiot" and "Asshole" and finally, "Fag"

Am I the only one who finds this pitiful?

Demicrats- shut up, it doesn't matter if you hate bush or not.

Republicans- shut up, it doesn't matter if you love bush or not.

This isn't the place, so take it somewhere else.

Its just pitiful. Just pitiful.

I know what I believe and I don't need anyone to agree with me.

"Democrats, Leftists, Progressives -- many words, one meaning:

TRAITORS"

Wow, please tell that to the Americans who call themselves all of those things who are fighting and dieing in Iraq right now. Many would proudly call themselves liberal yet are willing to die for you sorry individuals who put them down. Nice.

And so we are again tirelessly lectured by the left about the supposedly moronic George W. Bush. Of course, that's how it goes with the intellectually insecure (a.k.a. liberals). In their world, there is no such thing as simple disagreement. No, if you don't see it THEIR way, if you DARE not see it their way, then surely, SURELY(!), the one and only explanation is that you must be some subhuman form of inbred knuckle-dragging pond scum. (And why exactly do all of these smart liberals continue to behave as if arrogant and insulting behavior should somehow win them favor? This sort of brilliance eludes my limited capacity of understanding, especially when it is applied ever more feverishly even AFTER it has proven to be a miserable failure.)

Their favorite recurring bit of fallaciousness of course is that Bush has, unlike the rest of us, occasionally committed the unforgivable and oh-so revealing faux pas. (And by the way, a number of so-called "Bushisms" are urban myth fabrications - like Jimmy Hoffa being a closet transvestite - never happened. That's a shocker! Liberals making shit up because it suits their agenda? Surely not! Ahem, can you say "Michael Moore"?) Because goodness knows that the rest of us have reporters following us around constantly recording our every word while the weight of the world rests on our shoulders, and goodness knows that we never, ever, commit such grievous errors of the moment. (Remember when Al Gore called a "mammogram" a "sonogram"? No, you probably don't, because such mistakes are never, NEVER, played up like they are when Republicans commit them.)

But a question perhaps for those enlightened ones of the left: In that your best and your brightest ran your recent bid for President, and in that they proceeded to woo the American people with such stunts as putting Michael Moore in the VIP section next to Jimmy Carter at the Democratic National Convention; taking Al Sharpton seriously; embracing the now-famous Hollywood hate-fest in all its classless and clueless glory as being emblematic of "the heart of America"; and making the case that you would be a better protector of these United States because, A) You served 4 months in Vietnam, and, B) You want U.S. foreign policy to be submitted to the world's approval (that famous "Global Test"), have you considered at all, just for a moment, that indeed stupidity is not entirely confined to the occasional faux pas, but may perhaps take on more substantive forms?

Merry Christmas to all!

How's Iraq going for ya NeoCons? Huh? Oh yes, you guys did a bang up job there. yep, you guys fscked it all up. I imagine after it's still fucked up by the end up these four years you'll end up blaming it all on Bill Clinton.

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

May the well over 80% of you Americans who celebrate CHRISTmas have a merry one. And may the tiny, whiny, minority, who are offended at hearing or seeing the word "Christmas", grow up, get over it, and repent.

yes Rick, I'm sure you say "Misunderestimated" all the time. In fact, the use of that non-word is very common among smart people...not.

What really sets Bush apart isn't how smart he is (I believe he's above average intelligence, but that's all), it's his team that that's been set up that can sell anything he does to the masses of people. I think they've done a stellar job of using exactly what we're talking about to gain massive support for GW. They've successfully turned liberals into "smarty pants". This is a school yard tactic. It makes no sense. Someone says something, and you come back with "smarty pants". But IT WORKS! Most of the tactics that have worked on many people in these forums are of the school yard or bully mentality. That is sad, because GW's adgenda has no regard for our soldiers, or the elderly, or the poor, or even the middle class.

I heard somewhere that Bush scored a 1230 on his SAT's. That's pretty good, but far from exceptional. I scored higher, which shows you that Bush can't be that smart, right?

oh yes, Rick, you are a religious NUT. Do you really think by typing CHRISTmas you are going to affect the "Liberals"? Gimme a break. Don't you know that Jesus was a liberal?

another proof that only morons buy this p.o.s. player. and seemingly the world is full of morons

Well, I reckon the Prez playlist will include something from Tears For Fears.... "It's a Mad World" and "Everybody wants to rule the world".

Well, your man Bush served no months in Vietnam. He's not serving in Iraq either, and at this point I think it would be a nice gesture if he would. I mean, since he got us over there for non-existent WMD and all.

G-spank, suppose you enlighten me. I was previously unaware that Jesus was a pro-homosexual agenda, pro-tax, pro-abortion, anti-Israel, blame America first, moral relativist, Michael Moore-worshipping fool. Looks like it's time for me to get a new bible. Surely, some pages must have slipped from mine.

Merry Chirstmas!

In response to my having uttered the un-utterable verboten phrase du jour, "Merry Christmas", G-spank responded with "oh yes, Rick, you are a religious NUT."

This is no doubt, yet another sterling example of that fabled liberal tolerance. Either that, or it's yet another sterling example of that equally fabled liberal hypocrisy.

Anyway, Merry Christmas!

I love reading the Neocon remarks... Hilarious... Even though it's different people remarking, it all sounds like it's coming from the same person, like a cult, a brainwashed, mindless, blind following the blind cult. Just a big circle jerk of brainless chumps stroking themselves and licking Dubya's nuts while chanting "We won! We won! We won!..."

Don't get too excited over winning. It really wasn't that big of a surprise... We all know that there are more idiots out there than intelligent people, and with America's true God, the television, spoonfeeding it's propaganda and telling it's mush-brained and easily influenced flock how to think with it's shock and awe ratings before research reporting, is it any wonder we are where we are now?

I know your excited and hard now with the way things are going, my Neocon friends, so keep stroking and maybe after you shoot your load, you'll finally be able think straight and look around and wonder WTF happened to the world?

Cool, I'm glad he has an iPod too. Thankfully he'll be in charge for another 4 years too.

As my uncomfortable question has been completely and conveniently ignored by the current crop of monotonous libs, I shall ask it again, and again, and again...

Well, Sean, I guess then it's a good thing that liberals never sound like they're all reading from the same playbook, lest the same assesment be made of your side of the spectrum. Yes, yes, you people espouse a diversity of opinions all of which are summed up thusly: Bush is stupid! And...Bush is stupid! And...Bush is stupid...and, and, and, uh...oh yeah...Bush is stupid!

Well done, hotshot.

And, Merry Christmas!

"Michael Moore-worshipping fool"

I am aware of no democrats who worship Michael Moore, but Moore's movies are more entertaining than your posts.

"Looks like it's time for me to get a new bible"

Perhaps you should look at the one you've got:

Leviticus 19:18

Rick wrote: In response to my having uttered the un-utterable verboten phrase du jour, "Merry Christmas", G-spank responded with "oh yes, Rick, you are a religious NUT."

Yes, that's right Rick, you're a NUT. First, because you insist that I am bothered by you writing merry CHRISTmas, and second, because you insist that I called you a religious nut based on you saying "Merry Christmas". I called you a NUT because you are living in a world that is so far off from reality that you should be checked in at the hospital. It's almost as if you really truly think that saying "Merry Christmas" actually hurts the "Godless Liberals" as I am sure that's how you view them. You need to get off the meds, turn off the TV, and realize that 99% of all Liberals care about the environment, care about helping the poor, care about not going to war based on lies. They couldn't give a shit if you put the Christ back in Christmas or not. Most of them are religious too, bro. And the ones who are not believe in the right to worship, so ROCK ON with your "Merry Christmas"!

and thank you for wishing me a merry Christmas.

Merry CHRISTmas to you as well, Rick. I hope the spirit helps you to rid yourself of all that hate you have inside towards "Liberals".

To all you Al Franken and Bill O'Reilly wannabes who get off on your own self-righteous blathering, I please visit the appropriate websites for your moronic ramblings:

You idiotic sermons and childish rants will be welcome on those sites.

Me, I'm just an old Machead who longs for the days when Apple product discussion forums were for, like, you know, discussing Apple products.

Jesus was a pro-homosexual agenda, pro-tax, pro-abortion, anti-Israel, blame America first, moral relativist, Michael Moore-worshipping fool.

A perfect example of how you bought in to everything the Republican Propaganda Committee was selling. Well done, Rick! You are a sheep! Karl Rove laughs at how easy you make his job!

"And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror."

Excuse me, G-spank, but I'm still waiting for you to tell me just exactly where you got the idea that Jesus was a liberal.

So sorry that your sad and transparent attempt at deflection didn't work. Oh, and by the way, the current monotonous liberal obsession with Karl Rove is getting ever more pathetic. HINT: Conservative assessment of and disagreement with that set of beliefs commonly referred to as the "liberal agenda" is nothing new, and predates Karl Rove by many years. Can your superior intellect absorb that quite simple and straightforward fact? It really should, if you want to keep up appearances.

Merry Christmas!

This page is filled with examples of how divided our country has become, but at least we can all agree on one thing - iPod!!

Merry Xmas!!

Example of Jesus being a liberal:

Mary Magdalane was an apostle. But I'm sure you won't believe that because of all the lies your church has told you about the bible.

A liberal of superior intellect AND biblical expert wrote: wrong answer fuck-wad. Read your bible again, this time without the log in your eye.

********************

You know, I have to admit, it's kind of interesting getting lectured about having a log in my eye by someone who in the previous sentence called me a "f***-wad". I've never come across that convergence of hermeneutical principles.

(And by the way, he already DID bomb Sodom and Gomorrah. My answer was demonstably correct.)

Regardless, I look forward to your next mixture of biblical interpretation and profanity.
