You criticized Roudy for not telling you where he grew up. Why is that important to you? Are you an internet stalker ?
I criticized him for it simply because he keeps attempting to utilize it as an appeal to authority. Notice how I have never asked any of you for such information. If he told me he drew his experience from books I would likewise ask him what the titles of the books were. It's the same thing. If he wants to use it as an appeal to authority then it shouldn't be surprising for someone to inquire about more details concerning said authority; there is after all a huge difference between growing up in Indonesia or Albania, or Senegal, or Saudi Arabia. Saying he "grew up in a Muslim country" doesn't really tell me anything useful as far as his experience goes, especially in the face of his historically demonstrated weakness in the area of religious and historical basics within Islam.
I also find you guys trying to rush to his defense somewhat amusing given his proclivity for and widespread use of personal attacks on other posters.
I've seen how a little information in the wrong hands can be dangerous. You can dismiss what he says or accept it. You do not need to know any more to somehow defame him, endanger him or attack him.
He might give you details of what stores were on the street, what the building looked like and who was next door. Details the average person would not have access to. You do not have the right to ask for more.
Personal details are just that, personal.
Just as a note of caution, this site may have Muslims who are sending viruses / malware / popups / extensions to possibly hack into your computer. I keep having to delete this extension that invites me to listen to the Koran. Ha ha ha. I located the program but the damn thing wouldn't allow me to uninstall it. It was nasty. I did some research and discovered that I needed to get a program that "force uninstalled" it from my programs and all the registries it had lodged itself into. I was better than having to go out and get a new laptop. On the downside I've been wanting to have an excuse to get the new Apple laptop, heard a lot of great things about it.
never a problem for me.
Mac lap top very fast almost never viruses or mal. After more than a year my Sony was a little slow, through I keep it well maintained. Was given a win clean and it is almost as fast as my mac.
The downloads and restarts with windows can be annoying on occasion because I rarely shut down, I just put to sleep. It is just a few seconds so I shouldn't complain.
I wanted to have a non apple device just in case some attachments or programs aren't compatible. Apple is pretty much virus / malware free. I'm glad I figured out how to remove that nasty extension / malware from my hard drive. The moral is, be careful what you click on, it could be set up to get something bad on your device. At least scan the link before you click on it to make sure it's safe.
Scan everything before opening or clicking. You can check out the safety of sites before entering. Things you do want and download might have "extra" attachments that you need to read carefully and opt of those particular add ons. Extensions that have errors or problems should be removed unless it is something you need and willing to set perimeters. Close tool bars not needed and open only when you do want to use them, then close again......don't leave the house with an open window on the first floor.
I loved my laptop but I prefer to sit at a table with a screen MUCH larger and use a real mouse, or pen mouse, or drawing pad, or use touch screen. Big screen computer can be used as a large tablet if I needed to show something to my mother or anyone else within internet range.
I still prefer the mac for photo editing, video, media. For surfing the web and reading I like my window, BIG FONTS. Either one could be plugged into the flat screen TV if I wanted to watch a movie or youtube I downloaded.
Don't like that mac and windows don't like interacting.
let me know when you are ready to man up.
