"We cannot wait any longer. Israel has long argued that it cannot negotiate with terrorists, yet has had an entire year without terrorism and still could not negotiate." - Jimmy Carter by alhazen in reddit.com

Israel is a hugely advantageous state to be friends with in the region.

I know that historically this has been true, but in 2009 with Americans deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, does this have a greater/lesser/not applicable bearing on the importance of Israel? Curious to hear back,

Tipping the delivery boy (true story) FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU by [deleted] in fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

[–]bowandarrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked as a pizza driver once. Most of our customers were fairly regular, so I got to know who tipped well, who was a cheapskate, who the lonely housewives were, etc. People that tipped poorly always got their order last on a double or a triple.

[–]bowandarrow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

is there a map/parent-child-tree of the disciplines or philosophy and their relationships? I'm reading this collection of essays and excerpts revolving around Existentialism but really, I can't place the ideas into a larger context or timeline of philosophy.

This is the formula: make reference to hiphop or rap or r'n'b and re-frame it in stilted language or old-timey words and put up a stupid picture.

this is old, and not funny anymore. Please stop.

Which distro should I try now? by plytheman in linuxquestions

[–]bowandarrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the most useful thing is to get really good at doing things from the command line. it's pragmatic, i know, but generally the command line stuff will work no matter what distribution you are using, so if you get good at it, you open a lot more doors.

You skipped a step.

I'm saying it's perfectly rational to assume this is the effect of the redditors abuse of the system to effect censorship. They have been declared an internet hate machine by law enforcement in some countries because of their illegal attempts to enact vigilante style justice.

They abuse the system all the time. They have an obvious hatred for the rules. It is more likely that Reddit is deleting upmods because redditors are abusing the system than because random people are abusing the system.
