    Well, we now know what happens when people who are too immature get access to a computer, the internet, image software, video software, a Youtube account. Rest assured, if this person ever runs for office, this will be used against them.

    Parents really need to keep an eye on what their young children (i.e. younger than 13 yrs) are doing online. Stuff spreads, y'know? I found the Minecraft 2 trailer on Reddit.

    I hope this YT account gets taken down.

    RE: Brexit. I originally didn't want to bother with this discussion, since what happens in Britain doesn't really have much effect on the life of an Alaskan fast food cashier. However, since everyone seems to be at least mildly freaked out over it, I have to say: don't feed the panic. The goons who run this stuff are depending on people to panic and thereby make things worse than they have to be. Instead, simply repeat: "It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine." There might be some pain somewhere, but life will go on and that pain will probably become a lot lighter and shorter if people make a concerted effort to avoid kneejerk reactions.

    22% of the qualified surgeons on the NHS are european nationals currently able to work within the UK due to the mostly free travel and residence within the union. In leaving the EU, unless further deals are made, these nationals can no longer work here, to some this is great because racist bastards that want the UK to only consist of white english caucasians and all that. But think about the bigger picture. The NHS is already critically understaffed. The Leave campaigners were claiming extra funding for the NHS, they've now admitted this was a complete lie, if anything the NHS is now getting funding cuts. Cutting funding, sending 22% of the surgeons we needed out of the country, whos bright idea was that? This is only 1 of many examples.

    It also turns out when you go and count up how many EU nationals we would be sending home, we'd be taking in just as many. Except when you look at the demographics, the people we'd be bringing home are largely 50 years plus, the ones we'd be sending away are under 40s with a higher level of qualifications per capita than our own native population. We arent swapping like for like, we're sending away our qualified working population and swapping it for retirees that sit around and do nothing but sponge off of a state pension.

    Gotta hand it to Mr Farage though. I do admire his solidarity and ability to stick it to the EU parliament in such a succinct way :p

    ...welp...

    Guess who *gets* to learn Java... did you guess me? Yeah, that's right, me.

    /* technical rant incoming */

    No native executables AND no first-class functions? Ridiculous. If you're going to go to the trouble of making a rich VM-based OOP language, you might as well let the user pass a function to another function. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I say "function?" I meant "method." I haven't yet mastered Java newspeak.

    Oh wait, you can pass a "method" to a "method" as a value... if you wrap it in a "lambda expression," and then wrap the lambda expression in yet another class (an "interface," as Java calls it). And this new setup was just tacked on in Java SE 8. It's really poorly integrated into the language's syntax, and lambda expressions stick out like a sore thumb. They've tried to hack Haskell on top of Java. You shouldn't have to decide when a function/method/whatever-the-hell-it-is-this-week is a first-class value. It should always be a first-class value.

    Object-oriented programming itself is a trip back to the 60's, in that it's basically a layer of syntactic abstraction on top of the goto statement. Spaghetti code should have died when this letter was issued, but OOP has only served to perpetuate it. In using Java, I am reduced from a programmer to a spaghettore. That's not amore.

    Java is the only programming language that is also a marketing tool. Java is a language, a class library and a VM. They all come bundled together, even if you only wanted one. This is Oracle's way of making sure that all their crap gets on every computer, whether the user wants it or not.

    Java, as a language, feels like it was made so the financial department can write programs without consulting a single programmer. It's dumbed down in many ways such that it feels like a baby-toy version of itself. Why do I have to specifically define methods as private? This should be the default, only overridden by the public keyword. In general, the level of verbosity required (public static void main, anyone?) seems to be unnecessary hand-holding at best.

    Everything will be worked out. Negotiations will be made and deals will be come to. Everything will be fine.

    Potato handled the "don't panic" part for me this time, so technically there's no reason for me to even respond to your post. This, however, I cannot let slide:

    Let me guess, you're talking about the people who don't want Muslims and Sharia law in the UK? If so, how does that equate to being "racist" and "want(ing) the UK to only consist of white english caucasians and all that"?

    Islam is not a race. You can still pull religious freedom, but the problem there is that the tenets of Islam make it the enemy of Western civilization.

    Go read the tenets of islam, sharia law is not islamic law at all, its extremism. And no thats not the one I am pulling either as the EU doesnt impact them coming in, nor are we getting sharia law (which is illegal here anyway). Theres more violence condoned within the bible than the qu'ran

    I never exactly memorized the Bible, but I know that Quran is not one of the books in it. Did this list just come off some website?, not unlike this one: http://www.alternet.org/30-most-violent-exhortations-bible-torah-and-quran.

    I am aware that that both the Bible and the Quran have violence in them. The Bible is full of violence that you forgot to mention as well. Have you read the Gospels? Specifically the parts concerning Jesus' Crucifixion? That is extremely violent. As far as whether that is condoned though. . . what is actually condoned by the Bible, at least for those of us who read it correctly, in it's entirety, is the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes. . . you know stuff like: Mark 12:31; The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is not another commandment greater than these." .

    I guess my point is, if the Bible is really condoning all of this violence, where are all the Catholic terrorist organizations? Where are all the Lutherans blowing stuff up in the Midwest U.S? Many of the violent passages you have here are either taken out of context in some way, or they are old biblical era civil Laws that are not practiced mainstream by Christians.
    Many people, especially those who are not religious, look at the Bible wrong. The Bible is not a book, it is a library. each and every book of the Bible was written by authors who had little to no prior knowledge of any of the other books. Every book of the bible uses unique language to convey a specific intended point. Some books tell about history, some books tell about belief, and so on.
