I didn't celebrate any of their deaths, and I don't think anyone should have either, though I wasn't alive for most of them.

ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

Saying she was a good PM for the UK is like saying Harper is a good PM for Canada. AKA Not really.

She wasn't the worst for sure.....
Yes. I think Harper is a horrible PM though.

Because Apple, and its policies, are a blight on the free-thinking people of Middle Earth. And also they employ labor practices that are barbaric. Their entire corporate structure is built around a concept I find abhorrent.

I can go on?

Eh. Sure. I don't like Apple too, even though many of its' products were surely innovative and great(just my opinion). For labour practices part, Samsung is no better(giving a comparision to Apple's competitor).

Samsung doesn't carry Jobs' stank about it though. He was, unabashedly, the single most evil example of corporate lust I could think of.

You dirty rotten swine you! I really, really didn't need that image. :eek: If I dream about it tonight I will haunt you. :)

I have little sympathy for her, & none for her politics. I lived through them & was directly affected by her short-sighted industrial policies, & nor do I care much about her family. What gets me is that our beloved leader has cut short an important foreign tour, as if it's some kind of crisis. She is historically notable, but, it's not as if one of the Royals had snuffed it. Tory grandees & Eton-boys are all the same.

Meh. In my opinion, the Lee Family is very corrupted and is just as bad as Jobs.
