The fact that Ashton Kutcher is the king of Twitter should tell you something about Twitter. Since when narcissism and inanity have become cool?

I mean seriously what sorts of substances you guys are on? Is it mescaline?

8:45: OMFG, I had to scratch my back again.

Twitter is a vehicle for narcissts who have this fetishistic proclivity to share every single inane BS about their lives on the web.

Nobody freaking cares!

See Flutter on youtube it's good for you Gotham Gal. Now if you will execuse me, I am going to tweet about the fact that I wrote a comment about twitter!

Sweet talking can get you so far. He tried to pull a fast one on Russia and recently Iran but was soundly laughted at by both Russians and Iranians.

Obama's modus operandi is that of a used car sales man. Promise the world and deliver none.

He is a failure in every sense of the word except perhaps bullshiting. He was lawyer wasn't he?

Obama should have persued a career in abstract painting or avant-gard documentry maker as opposed to politics. The flip flop in his approach to address both domestic and international issues is extremely troubling.

Demonizing the Wall Streeters and the system in which they operate should be mandatory for the next little while until the very idea of Capitalism collapses for good.

We can't afford to have "unabashed capitalist" types running amok.

This comes from a man who a) brags about being an "unabashed capitalist" and b) who advocates greed as part of the solution to go forward.

You're not that naive to expect a VC (Venture CAPITALIST) to defend social resposibilities, or are you?

in Heroes Preview: Season 3 Episode 20 (3.20) Cold Snap on HeroestheSeries.com
Hannah Gitelman is the person your talking about. Aka Wireless who could also communicate with machines. Sorry to tell you but she Died :( Died in Space, in the Web Comics. Episode titled The Death of Hannah & Drucker (her Uncle). Unless they somehow survived and they exist only within data/digital terms. Only person it looks like to being issss, Micah.

Like someone mentioned earlier Could be a team, both Micah & Molly, as Molly knows where Heroes are, and Micah can help via Computers :)

Also When Claire receives text Messages from Rebel.. it says.. from
Rebel (M) Indicating could be a Male, though id have to backtrack and look to see if anyones received messages saying Rebel (F). So could be both of them :)

syalarfan406 haha!! Rebel (M) Thats lingo for Mobile!

Its not Micah or Molly..


Its Nathan and Angela.. What gave it away to me is when Nathan is talking to Tracy and he says have "Hope" under his breath. Now w ho is actually making the computers do these things... I think its Nathan, or he has someone that can do it.. I really think it will be corny if they bring Micah back as the rebel... "Someone who hates them as much as you" How would Micah hate them as much as anyone?

Killer season so far!

Please stop feeding yourself GOP's lines of BS re Israel.

Read Haaretz instead. Speaking of Haaretz, they reported today that Israel has banned Arab parties from running in upcoming elections:

http://haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1054867.html

Ladies and gentleman this is what President Carter said in his book: Israel is a full blown apartheid state.

The question is how to deal with an aparthied state? Naomi Klein in her wonderful article in the Nation magazine advocated a great tactical move.

Boycot, divestment and sanctions against the state of Israel.

Boycott 729 NOW!

Fred

I suggest you broaden your horizon by getting your news somewhere other than CNN.

Can you point out the false points, as you claim, in the post I wrote? or are you just one of those reflexive supporter of Israel no matter how genocidal this illegal regime becomes?

Read books by scholars in this subject as opposed to getting your news from AIPAC financed outfits, will ya?

Shalom

"And some people here are comparing people who elected Hamas (which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel) "

In reality it's Israel that kills Palestinians? how many Israel's died as result of Hamas's intention? 1? not wait, the person was wounded.

Get off your high horse and see what's happening to people in Gaza will you? and stop genralizing bullshit that most Israeli supporters do.

The poster, Jim, is absolutely nailed. Israel is an illegal entity and will cease to exist with our without Hamas.

APARTHEID IS NOT SUSTAINABLE.

That's a trap Israel has been working on for months. Israel don't have any intention for peace. The more Palestinian they kill, the happier they are.

You should read the memos the give to IDF soldiers. One might think the instruction was perfected following Nazi Germany footsteps.

Israel has been planning Gaza operation for months and if you believe Hamas has caused this conflict you are either delusional or grossly misinformed.

Jim It makes me sad that people like Gotham gal, etc. defend Israel simply because they happen to be Jewish.

Do you honestly believe it's okay for Israel to kill 400 people and wound1200 others for ONE ISRAELIS?

There's a reason why Israel is the most hated country in the world.

"Nothing is ever solved and anger is always there."

Because Israel's objective is to grab more land ergo no interest in real peace. Israel has undermined every single chance to make peace with Palestinians. Israel, thanks to our unconditional support, believes that by using force they will get the kind of commitment they are interested from Palestinians.

Hamas is the democratically elected government of Palestinians. But
just like us Israelis, believe in democracy only when it suits them.

"The death and killing that goes on between both factions is ridiculous."

Sure is. We also have to be mindful of the fact that the death ratio is 300 Palestinian to 1 Israeli. Israel indiscriminately bombs Gaza with the ridicoulous claim that they are after known militants. Patently false. Since when a 4 year old girl and an 85 year old grandpa are militants?

It's vital for Jewish communities all across the world to condemn the genocidal behavior of this regime.

Peace First Dear Tom B,

Lest we not forget that this recent violence was carefully planned and executed by Hamas in order to provoke a harsh response from Israel. It is clear that Hamas is willing to sacrifice the lives of its own people for political reasons. Let us also not forget that Hamas is a terrorist organization that has not only terrorized Israel but also terrorized its own citizenry.

Terrorists provoke, governments protect. Let's face it, would the US or any other country sit idly by while terrorist groups fire hundreds of rockets into its borders? The answer is clear.

So, let's not be naive here. This was a very carefully planned political strategy by Hamas to end a cease fire by lobbing hundreds of bombs at Israel in order to provoke Israel into retaliating and then use this for political gain heading into the January elections in the Middle East.

All this being said, I agree that violence only breeds violence. Israel needs to throttle back now and avoid escalating the violence. However, the "blame" for this situation is squarely on Hamas. The blood is on their hands.

In a less than a few years (considering how maniacal Israel has become), there will be a similar museum for the loss of the lives of Palestinians thanks to genocidal behavior of Israel which ironically has uncanny similarities to the Nazi Germany.

Lest we forget ergo let's kill all these Palestinian children.

Justin I am extremely concerned and disappointed that Israel is choosing to escalate its retaliation by moving forward with a ground offensive. This is a road to nowhere and is sure to create a spiral of violence and hatred. I can only wish that the two Ehuds will come to their senses before it's too late.

I also wish that Hamas would demonstrate to the world that it is commiitted to peace with Israel and make a unilateral declaration against terror and terrorist organizations.

in How long will it take? Acura still aiming to become a big-league luxury player on egmCarTech
The TL is a step in the right direction but a tier 1 product this vehicle is not. Acura has always been a near-luxury brand and in order for them to shake that image off and move upmarket, they have to emulate Lexus. That may prove to be extremely difficult and for more than one reason. It all depends on how long the current sales slump lasts. If the recession drags on for too long, Acura may come to appreciate the fact that it's NOT a tier 1 brand.
