I despise the iProductLine in all its iterations.

Well fortunately for my stocks NOBODY CARES HOW YOU FEEL! /shove

In fact, how I feel does have an effect on your stocks. Maybe not the biggest, but given my technological opinion influences not one, but two entire families -- and that trickles down to anyone they interact with -- that's a lot of i-products not being purchased! So...neener! And /shoveback!

Western powers should take into consideration Russia's legitimate security concerns over Ukraine, a top Chinese diplomat has said in an unusually frank and open display of support for Moscow's position in the crisis.

Qu Xing, China's ambassador to Belgium, was quoted by state news agency Xinhua late on Thursday as blaming competition between Russia and the West for the Ukraine crisis, urging Western powers to "abandon the zero-sum mentality" with Russia.

He said the "nature and root cause" of the crisis was the "game" between Russia and Western powers, including the United States and the European Union.

He said external intervention by different powers accelerated the crisis and warned that Moscow would feel it was being treated unfairly if the West did not change its approach.

"The West should abandon the zero-sum mentality, and take the real security concerns of Russia into consideration," Qu was quoted as saying.

His comments were an unusually public show of understanding from China for the Russian position. China and Russia see eye-to-eye on many international diplomatic issues but Beijing has generally not been so willing to back Russia over Ukraine.

China has also been cautious not to be drawn into the struggle between Russia and the West over Ukraine's future, not wanting to alienate a key ally.

It has said it would like to continue to develop "friendly cooperation" with Ukraine, and respects the ex-Soviet state's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Qu's comments coincide with talks between the United States and its European allies over harsher sanctions against Moscow.

On Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Western powers of trying to dominate and impose their ideology on the rest of world. The United States and European delegations slammed Moscow for supporting rebels in eastern Ukraine.

Qu said Washington's involvement in Ukraine could "become a distraction in its foreign policy".

"The United States is unwilling to see its presence in any part of the world being weakened, but the fact is its resources are limited, and it will be to some extent hard work to sustain its influence in external affairs, " Qu was quoted as saying.

Ukraine's military accused Russia last week of sending more tanks and troops towards the rebel-held town of Novoazovsk, expanding their presence on what it fears could be the next battlefront.

I disagree.

1.) Indentured servants don't work nearly hard enough for the things they have already purchased. Once they figure out most of their money is going to bills for stuff they already threw away, they work less. and we can no longer whip them

2.) Bankruptcy no longer has any social stigma attached to it and people declare it all WILLY~NILLY now threatening them with bankruptcy is no longer super effective

3.) Same with home forclosure

4.) You want servants that can barely see the brass ring working harder and harder knowing deep down they will never reach the ring but still trying none the less.(see China)

But now in the USA The ring is rubbed right in their faces now they can touch it and hold it and realize there is an even better ring just beyond that one, so many that they easily get discouraged.

Also, indentured servants cost a lot of money THAT THEY NEVER SEE. The average minimum wage worker costs $16 an hour in providing them a space to work, taxes and other expenditures etc. but they only GET $8 and then they get taxes withheld so they only work as hard if they are getting paid $4 or $5

SO we are paying $16 an hour, getting $4 worth of work and then paying a 30% corporate tax rate to make up the difference in wagesthat they are not getting because it is being taxed and government bureaucracy red taped away from them, then replacing that with federal benefits like food stamps and welfare.

Slaves were way easier to manage, automatically and by default worked more than what you were paying them and didn't require any federal programs to subsidize their income

This is so stupidly symbolic it's not even funny.

How many crimes are committed with 5.56mm ammo? Seriously.

I think very little of all the red neck militia mental midgets out there buying up AR-15s and the like, but those kind of idiots will be a threat even without guns if they get it in their heads to hurt someone for one of their moronic reasons. I doubt there's a lot of inner-city crime or even rural homicide happening with AR-15s.

It's to establish precedence. Next time they'll grab something bigger and point to this as justification for it.

Does anyone really doubt anymore that Obama wants to take your guns away from you?

I think it's the same misguided idea that so many others seem to think it will make a difference.

Ugh. Gun control is far from the biggest issue for me, but it's really misguided.

Oh man. Give the gangbangers and redneck militias a full shipment of quality swords.

They'll hurt themselves so quickly we won't have to worry about them hurting anyone else.

Of course, the insurance claims for self-inflicting slash and stab wounds at hospitals are going to go through the roof...

I'm pretty sure I read a story where a guy killed his manager at a grocery store with a sword like that. Pretty epic.

http://articles.latimes.com/2003/jun/30/local/me-slasher30
A man wielding a samurai-style sword killed two people and wounded three others at an Irvine
supermarket Sunday before his bloody rampage ended with a fatal volley of police gunfire.

The deadly attack occurred about 9:35 a.m. inside the Albertsons at Culver Drive and Irvine Boulevard, when Joseph Parker, a 30-year-old bagger known for erratic behavior, entered the market where he worked and began slashing employees and customers, witnesses said.

Wearing a green beret and a long, dark coat, the Santa Ana man pulled out a sword with a 3-foot blade and calmly attacked in silence, almost beheading one of his victims. As he roamed the store, employees armed with barbecue utensils, mayonnaise jars and trashcan lids tried to corner him.

Musket balls. Not that question has anything to do with the fact that banning bullets is completely legal.

If you guys take up Muskets against Obama, I volunteer to be the dude playing a song as we march into battle. I've always dreamed of being killed mid-song by some dude who thought it was cool to bayonet the music man.

Hm, now should I do drums or a bugle.

Questionably.

For one of the first times when it comes to Mr. Obama, I'd approve of this being Constitutionally challenged.
