"How children will be taught. A university education will be free to every man and woman."

Woah there man with white pointed hood...

Agreed, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there is a bit more to that story. That's bordering on emotional neglect if it was actually the case.

I understood the lost surprise one, but the rest of these kids are ungrateful little shits. It doesn't matter if the present wasn't relevant to you. Millions of kids spend every Christmas wondering if there is enough food for their parents to eat with them. I know I had that fear more than once growing up. My friend…

They are supposed to drop, but not by a sizable amount necessarily. The lawsuit simply said that publishers could not conspire to set prices. I wouldn't expect prices to drop to a level that is fair based on previous profits from print books.

Actually, the largest percentage of the cost, 40%, is for the retailer in physical book sales. That mainly goes towards the cost of running a physical store. Printing and production accounts for 10% of the cost. Another 10% goes to the distributor. That is 60% of the cost of physical books which has largely been…

This is a problem with all forms of digital media. Production, shipping, and sales costs have all been drastically reduced, yet media companies are still trying to charge the same amount as they always have. All of that savings is turned into profit, yet I am stuck without a physical product, and in some cases I don't…

So, what you're saying is that Instagram hasn't been making any money and didn't really want me using their app this whole time? I never realized I was such a burden! I'll fix that right away!

I'll go with you on some common ground, as well. I wish that law abiding citizens could own whatever gun they like. I love shooting guns. I actually got to shoot a K57, an RPD, an M16, and a grenade launcher while in Cambodia two years ago. I really enjoyed it. Shooting guns can be really enjoyable, but I just don't…

This is exactly what we need to address right now in America. Gun control is an issue, but mental health care is at the root of many of the tragedies we are seeing these days. It is rooted in the stigmas we hold towards the mentally ill and, more importantly, our appallingly greedy health care system which is an…

I would certainly hope the iPad Mini would be the best of these tablets with it being nearly double the price! The Fire, Nexus 7, and Nook HD were all made to be cheap, accessible tablets that allow people to use tablets for what they are really worth, low capability consumption devices. The price works because, to…

Wow. Okay. This is just too long for a discussion board. I understand that you are passionate about this.

By this guy, you mean you?

I know exactly what an assault rifle is. My uncle owns a gun shop. I've been around guns my entire life. Just because a gun isn't automatic, doesn't mean that it's not an assault rifle, nor does it mean that it can't be modified to be automatic. Trust me, my uncle is a crazy idiot.

Slippery, slippery slope. Oh how will we ever avoid this slippery slope? I know! Let's give guns to everyone!!

Military action in Afghanistan is not as simple as you would like to make it seem.

Ancient war techniques don't matter one bit in the modern context. The game has completely changed. You are correct to say that those weapons aren't provided by the U.S. today, but that is how they defeated the Soviet Union. You are also speaking about an attempt at nation building with a focus on preventing the loss…

American guns are smuggled into Mexico, not the other way around. Gun laws are very strict throughout Latin America. Gangs get their guns from us and arms dealers.

Only the Gizmodo geeks. The Lifehacker geeks got this sh**!

Desert fighters have been standing up against occupying forces in one of the harshest terrains in the world with the assistance of none other than the United States. The Taliban were CIA trained and have the weaponry of a modern military force. That's a bit different than a few crazy people in Michigan with…
