Do you think nazi soldiers really hated jews, or were they just blindly obeying authority? It seems that human nature allows us to do some pretty terrible things when we're "just following orders".

I have been browsing sites such as MLIA, FML and others of the like. I noticed some thing though, and that is most generations are marked for something (e.g. baby boomers), and was wondering if you guys would agree that this latest generation seems to be marked by obsession?

Bright idea, how about an "I Hate the Federal Government" thread? Post what you hate about them the most.

Back then it was okay for the ruling class to openly think that they were inherently better than everyone else.
idk about you all but i think we may be looking at a violent uprising in the usa, esp if the largely unpopular healthcare bill passes...
I don't think it will happen yet, though it remains a possibility. Of course, I doubt it would get as much support as even the Civil War did, and as such would be put down much faster. I think that more people believe in a solution through the political system, even if it means changing the system a bit.

I just received a cash gift of $1,500... What should I do with it? Options include putting it all into savings/IRA, spending it on guns and ammo, paying off a $700 credit card balance, putting it toward my car loan of $6,800, etc.

Suggestions for new features are also welcome.

I'm thinking about adding user accounts, which would NOT be tied to posts, but would allow users to bookmark regular & encrypted threads to more easily see updates.

Some of those patents do seem really broad... I imagine they're just using every one possible and seeing what sticks.
Apple is pretty much just being a dick, from what I can tell. I don't think they have serious concerns about people stealing their original work, which is what patents are really for.
