When I shop on Ebay a 98% positive is good enough for me. If I look through the reviews nearly everyone says things like "fast shipping", "great price" and "would buy from this seller again" Then there are always a few that have horrible things to say. A review like this might result in the loss of 1 star. He didn't say the guy ripped him off or didn't do exactly what he was supposed to do. Now because of this almost completely positive review this guy is showing the whole world what an asshole he is. When will they ever learn? The review would have not hurt his reputation but he sure screwed himself!
My son has that game and when the creatures turn into Nazis you blow them away. Hogan's Heros became a huge hit over there probably because they portray the Nazis as idiots. Been a long time since I have seen it but I think swastikas were seen in it. Did they block them out in the German versions?
I know I should have asked this on the post a while back about Germany freaking out because the South Park game failed to remove the swastikas from the German release but this is somewhat related. If the swastika is illegal in that country how to they handle things like documentaries and history books? I know that this is a part of their history they want to put behind them but they can't deny it happened. Anyone know how their laws pertain to historical educational media?
I have a Fluke 88V. The yellow part is a rubber casing to give protection when you inevitably drop it. Slide it off and the meter is completely gray. The yellow part on these cheap meters looks like it is just part of the hard plastic case?
$30,000 / 2000 meters = $15 each. Since that is probably wholesale even with 100% markup they would retail at $30. Don't remember exactly but I think I paid well over $300 for a Fluke meter several years ago. Fluke is well known to be top of the line equipment. I don't think anyone would think they were getting a Fluke for $30.
I have owned Fluke multimeters and this one does look similar. Fluke is known for top notch quality and features but you do pay for the name. I'm guessing this meter doesn't retail for even a third as the cheapest model of Fluke. If they had given some brand that even remotely sounded like Fluke they might have somewhat of a case. I worked as a mechanic for years and nobody I know would be stupid enough to think this was a Fluke. If they start making them red will Sears sue them?
I have to agree. He would be one of the sharpest judges they ever had. Problem is you don't get nominated to that court by pissing people off by speaking hard truths. You get there by kissing the right asses.
I all for that. How about some congressmen that are also calling the government on their bullshit and abuses. Ron Wyden and Justin Amash would be great. Unfortunately my state is stuck with that asshole Mike Pompeo.

In many cases that would be true but obviously he is just a puppet with big money's hand up his ass. There is a loophole that lets these criminals keep a lot of the contributions when they leave office.

Don't have a lot of time right now so I'll just hit the high points. Perhaps some Islamic countries are not as radical as others but any country predominately Muslim will have factions. If it's 2% in some countries or 20% in others it will be there. It only took 19 hijackers to kill over 2,000 people. These were from "friendly" countries like Egypt, United Emirates and Saudia Arabia. As far as the nuclear threat many experts are saying it is not a matter of if, it's when. A great deal of atomic materials from the former USSR are unaccounted for. First it will probably be a dirty bomb but eventually they will achieve thermal. Won't matter much if they are doing it to please Allah or political reasons.

It's a little hard to separate the religion from the politics when many Mid East countries range from heavily to completely under control of the Muslims. Even governments that have some moderate influence protected Osama Bin Laden for a decade. All of the 9/11 attackers were from countries supposedly friendly to us. Sure, there some nut cases and even terrorists who call themselves Christian. In Islamic countries they build shrines to the "martyrs" who strap on bomb vests and set them off in markets and buses to kill their enemies even when that includes women and children. The families of these heroes receive support payments. 70 virgins await in paradise for them to pop their cherries. Extremism will always exist in any religion. Centuries ago the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England were responsible for ghastly atrocities. In no religion today is it so predominate as it is in Islam. It is only a matter of time until they achieve their goal of setting off a nuclear bomb in a large American city. The mutually assured destruction that kept the Soviets at bay does not matter to them.
Just to add this thought: The Westboro are a very small group of extremists who have few members that are not part of Fred Phelps family and are an embarrassment and universally scorned by virtually every Christian church. No deaths have resulted from their hateful actions. They are not killing people.
I'm just remembering the massive rallies all over the Mid East celebrating and cheering loudly when the towers fell. If Christians attacked embassies and caused riots world wide that results in hundreds of deaths any time someone insults their beliefs I would think differently. If the Muslims truly followed the teachings of Muhammad they would be the "religion of peace" they claim to be. The percentage of extremists is a lot larger than the politically correct liberals want to admit.
I suppose if there is a religion that flies jetliners into buildings, blow themselves up, stone their daughters for kissing a boy, start deadly riots over a cartoon etc. maybe you shouldn't perform in a video they would consider blasphemous. Does the name Salman Rushdie mean anything to you?
No one would have ever paid attention to this whiny bitch if she had just kept her mouth shut. I have to wonder if it was her intention to put this whole thing into Streisand overdrive for her 15 minutes of fame?
True. They really wouldn't have to in this case because it has been all over the web what a stinker this video is. I guess if I want the right to spout off things others may not agree with we have to defend trash like this.
