Slashdot Mirror

Some lazy opinion-fart blaming a disparate group of people for some perceived slight should be called out every single time

FYI, that often exactly describes the SJW viewpoint. They blame white males for every perceived problem minorities and women face.

I would not describe you as a SJW, SJWs are the types of people who would repeal the first amendment to stop people who don't agree with them from being able to speak.

But there were no classified markings to strip originally.

Except there are claims the markings were removed prior to them getting to Clinton.

The whole retroactive classification thing is tricky and can lead to some major problems.

True, however that ignores the existence of materials which were considered 'born classified' or so content from other agencies which was obviously classified but unmarked.

Your first paragraph might be accurate, but the second contains many lies that the Left loves to use over and over. You speak as if violent home invasions never happen. Go google your city name along with "home invasions" and see some of the things people are capable of.

And yes, despite the Left's claims that people with guns will always shoot their family members or themselves, or have their guns used against them before they can react, people with guns DO actually defend their homes with weapons. That's not an isolated incident, either. You'd know this too, if you were honest about this discussion and based your opinion on logic and facts instead of emotion and fearmongering.

Before Paris it was the responsibility of the countries in the middle east to police their own. Now it's clear they can't contain it, even with aid so the rest of the world will be dragged into it.

They are, indeed, backscatter devices. See source here.

The summary is actually wrong in claiming that these vans are just now making their way to police departments. According to this link, the NYPD acknowledged using these vans at least as early as 2010. I'd really like to know how they've been used over the last five years or if there's any evidence of any additional security being provided from this surveillance.

A camper truck isn't the same as a motorhome. You really can't park a motorhome in Silicon Valley. You need to go into the outlying areas to do that legally. Sacramento has plenty of places to park a motorhome.

He's parked in Google's lot. If security lets him live in the back of a truck, why wouldn't they let him live in a motorhome? It's not like he'd be the first.

There's no reason to kill them. There is plenty of reason to stop them.

Enjoy jail, and maybe a lawsuit from the family. The law only permits you to use deadly force when defending yourself (or others) from imminent death or grievous bodily harm. Even then, you better have been unable to satisfy any applicable duty to retreat, have eyewitnesses on your side, and hope the cops who show up feel instinctively friendly to you.

Don't be this idiot.

Every way except flying. 418 US military drones crashed since 2001, report reveals

No?

Yes. The campuses — including this one, the public schools are all legally gun-free. A pop-tart eaten to the shape of a pistol is enough for a kid to be kicked out.

That cinema, where "a joker" killed 12 people — that movie theater was not closest to his house, but it was the only one within a 20-minute drive, that declared itself "gun-free".

In denial much?

Maybe it was the only theatre showing that Batman movie that night?

And do you really think a darkened room full of amateur gun owners opening return fire is going to in any way lessen the death toll?

Look at a larger data set:

* http://www.armedwithreason.com/debunking-the-gun-free-zone-myth-mass-murder-magnets/

As for Aurora specifically:

In the Aurora case, the shooter gave no indication that the theater’s gun-free policy played a part in his motives. His personal journal, made public during his ongoing trial, contains not even a cursory mention of gun-free zones or the consideration of armed civilians, but instead details a more pressing concern about how to attack the “isolated, proximal, large” space: finding the right parking spot.

No?

Yes. The campuses — including this one, the public schools are all legally gun-free. A pop-tart eaten to the shape of a pistol is enough for a kid to be kicked out.

So what you're saying is that all (or virtually all) campuses are gun free, so the fact this specific campus is gun free is pretty much meaningless.

No?

Yes. The campuses — including this one, the public schools are all legally gun-free. A pop-tart eaten to the shape of a pistol is enough for a kid to be kicked out.

There is a much bigger problem the earth is facing right now and it is being pretty much ignored by the powers that be and the mainstream media - Fukushima radiation is poisoning the worlds oceans. 300-450 tonnes a DAY is still pouring into the Pacific from the nuclear facility.

Which is quite impressive given that there was only 4300 tons there in the first place. Let's exploit the hell out of this!

Or are you deceptively ignoring the actual radioactivity of the mass in question and counting water as radioactive material?

and it took a schoolgirl from Alberta Canada to point it out to the world

Quite the argument from authority there. If a schoolgirl from Alberta says it's true - it must be!

This is a known major threat to every person on the planet that gets no airtime, the facts are clear and anyone with a Geiger counter can prove it.

Do so. And then STFU when you realize what an idiot you are.

TFA claims that Chinese is compiling a facebook of US government employees

TFA links to an article on Washington Times http://www.washingtontimes.com... , which said that according to Fox News, a guy, with the name of Dmitri Alperovitch, claims that China is compiling a MASSIVE facebook-like database of US government employees

Fox News article ( http://www.foxnews.com/politic... ) carries a similar claim

Where's the beef?

Neither of the three articles (Slashdot, Washington Times and Fox News) bother to provide any proof to back up Mr. Alperovitch's allegation

It's awesome that the U2's are still flying.

Right, and Germany is sunnier than the USA

Strawman. I never said anything of the sort.

You're right. I didn't see you anywhere in that video. It was just an interesting vdeo of what some folks on your side were talking about. We doing Oxford debate rules here?

Remind me again what portion of the INDUSTRIALIZED FIRST WORLD runs off of local wind turbines and/or local solar? Oh, that's right: not much. There's a perfectly good reason for that: it's not reliable power like grid power. Solar doesn't work when it's cloudy, at night, or when panels are covered by snow. Wind doesn't work unless it's windy.

And yet, looking at the Allegheny front near my place, there are a lot of wind turbines that seem to be running all the time. You occasionally see one in a turbine field that is stopped - I suspect that's for maintenance.

And as a small correction, the solar panels aren't charging at night. That's when we use the batteries tht the solar panels charge during the day. Works pretty well.

Grid power works all the time, every time.

Oh - bullshit. Here's a small sampling of your "works all the time, every time":

http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/25/...

http://www.usatoday.com/story/...

http://www.foxnews.com/weather...

Living here in the Northeast, we've had a lot of major power interruptions, that put that "Grid power works all the time, every time." claim as utter bunkum. The interruptions are generally due to freak weather, but caused me to get first a generator, and I'm now working my way over towards solar. Some of the interruptions have been around a week, and it doesn't take too many freezerfulls of spoiled food to make you think about the need for alternative power.

Power that isn't there when you need it most is rather useless.

I agree wholeheartedly. However, your vaunted grid is not the uninterruptible power source that you claim it is. I really needed the power not available from the grid until I got those alternatives. I can't rely on your promises for power. Thos promises don't make power come out of the wall sockets. It gets too cold when we're out of it for a week.

Oh, and nice dig at Fox News, not that it's remotely relevant to the discussion. But it does show your bias.

I'm not a liberal, if that's your implication. I'm a pragmatist who likes to point out bullshit. And yes, the idea that Germany is successful in their attempts to use solar power because they are sunnier than we are is bullshit.

And the overall point of that post is that Fox News is not the only group spreading bullshit about alternative forms of power.

Especially when those folk write:

Grid power works all the time, every time

So really what was that? Was the quote bullshit? Or do you actually believe that :

Grid power works all the time, every time

Because it certainly doesn't.

Not even in Germany.

Being a frothing anti-gun lunatic, I'm pretty sure you'll not even read the link - but here in the REAL REAL WORLD the police chief of Detroit is asking law abidining citizens to arm themselves to take back the city from criminals:

The Real World Of Detroit and Guns

Yes it is very unfortunate that our greed and stupidity has spawned cities that are on the verge of collapse. However a wild west show ain't gonna solve the problem. It takes one hell of a lot more courage to confront evil without a gun. If someone holds a gun to your head consider this fact very carefully. Perhaps you can tell the one who would kill you that they are the one that is taking the easy way out of their problems. It is very true that it is easy to kill but requires even greater courage and inner strength not to!

Very much the same as using nuclear weapons to decide wars is not a good idea, escalating an already dangerous situation to a point of critical mass will only cause an explosion not a resolution. Unless that very explosion of violence is the goal in the first place.

The gun lobby in the states as well as the tendency to rape and pillage the economy by legal means could very well lead to unstoppable inner city nuclear gun wars. The only way around this is compassionate governance and equally good human fellowship not a tribal like collapse. Non violent discourse founded upon enlightened social and private enterprise is the only way to finally advance beyond primitive tribal society.

The founders of the US understood this principle but some forget this fact or really do not believe in Government of the People by the People and for the People.

Here in Canada we greatly respect the founding principles of the US and the corollary that Lincoln observed, but absolutely deplore the anti government movement being promulgated by the right wing tribal KKK crowd that for centuries has hindered real progress in the US.

Things could get worse though the US could elect someone like Trump and really screw things up. "YOUR'E FIRED SUCKER!" And equally don't ever forget the ability to run for more than 2 terms of office is just a convention in the states and if someone with enough pull and unlimited ambition to create a new dynasty did take office it might be very hard to get rid of a dictator. The same thing that has happened in Russia lately!

http://www.foxnews.com/politic...

From http://www.foxnews.com/politic...

“The crime is raging and it’s violent. And if you talk about it, it’s racist,” Trump told Fox News, three days after a purported illegal Mexican immigrant deported five previous times allegedly killed a woman in San Francisco.

“When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best,” he said during the announcement. “They're not sending you, they're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they're telling us what we're getting."

“It’s about safety,” he said. “Some of the people coming here are very violent people, not all.”

The comment was about 80% of the women crossing the border illegally getting raped. It was a quote from Huffington Post, which was a quote from a Univision owned magazine, according to Trump. He didn't say that all immigrants are rapists, just that rapes happen to women crossing the border.

I already commented on the other two pieces, but you can persist in your opinion, everyone is entitled to their's after all.

You turn the car off and leave it in gear.

unless the car has an automatic transmission.

Yep. Last I looked over a decade ago, only 40% of cars sold in the USA were even offered with a manual gearbox; Today, that number is even less. It's not just the USA that isn't buying them, either. Now that DSGs are so phenomenally good, there's really no reason for anything else to exist except in the very cheapest of cars — and they're "all" getting CVTs — nearly all, anyhow. But loads of cars still have traditional slush boxes, because they're the cheapest way to get a lot of torque to the wheels, and we love torque.

You mean like these little guys that were reported on over 2 years ago.

http://www.foxnews.com/politic...

This is hilarious, it was quite obvious that you only read the first paragraph article you cited... and now you didn't even read the first paragraph of what I last cited, allow me to demonstrate. You claim:

State may have them. Nobody knows except the State Department.

Except that's not what the State Department has said, to quote the last article I cited (and the first paragraph no less):

The State Department said Thursday that it could not locate “all or part” of 15 e-mails provided last week to the House Select Committee on Benghazi by Sidney Blumenthal from his exchanges with then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Still not convinced? Why not consult a whole number of articles from various sources which report the same thing?

http://news.yahoo.com/state-de...
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/15...
http://www.nbcnews.com/politic...

http://www.foxnews.com/politic...
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/sta...
http://timesofindia.indiatimes...

Noticing a trend yet?

Thus, your claim that we know she didn't turn over all of the emails is false. The State Department might have them, they might not.

So you are calling the professionals at the State Department and national archives incompetent because they cannot adequately locate these documents they may or may not have? Riiight. Occam's Razor would seem to apply.

You're misunderstanding the quote. According to them the information should have been deemed confidential.

On the contrary, I understand it quite well (as unlike you I've spent some time reading on this subject. Failing to set the 'classified' flag on an email doesn't change whether it is actually classified or not, it simply flags it for filtering & handling... not unlike putting "ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGED" in a subject line of an email. It's the content that matters, not the subject of flags.

It wasn't, though. That means there is no proof that she sent material that was, at the time it was sent, deemed classified.

Again... that's not what the IGs (two of them) have said. Though even your use of the term 'proof' is laughable. The intelligence agencies do not deal in proof the way the rest of us do, but in terms of probability. And the IGs have determined it is very probable that classified information that Hillary had access to is not in the control of the government due to her. That's the first step to opening a criminal investigation which will hopefully lead to a trial and proof that even you would accept.

Say hi to President Sanders for me.

The US has a similar plan, the EB-5 visa program, but you only need to invest $1 million to get your green card.

I say, if we're going to let people bribe their way to the front of the immigration line, we should get top dollar for it. $15 million sounds about right, plus $2 million paid directly to the government, and used to hire more immigration workers to clear the ludicrous immigration backlog for everyone else.

*Especially* since a good chunk of those buying green cards are Chinese businessmen and government officials fleeing corruption charges in China: if we're going to be complicit in fraud, I want a bigger piece of the action.

Oh, and by the way, ever notice that Americans who're furious about people "skipping the line" in the immigration process never complain about this program? Seriously the only mention I can find over on Fox News is concern that Mexicans are doing it, despite the fact that for every Mexican EB-5 visa applicant, there are 200 Chinese.

One of the more positive things that has happened recently is that they got starved for victims so they started attacking their own political camps. They were basically doing purity tests. Once everyone is a liberal how do they justify their existence? well... they then ask "how liberal are you"... and they just start goal posting moving to make sure they have enough people to be outraged with at any given time.

So anyway, they were doing that and eventually they hit a segment of their own political contingent that fought back. And now they're a little baffled because a lot of the wind has gone out of their sails. They're getting attacked from all sides now and they're losing credibility rapidly.

Its funny because they're such dogmatic robots that they don't really understand what happened.

We'll see... they'll either be suppressed to the general good of society or they'll osterize most of their political base which will lead to a structural schism in the faction which will weaken them collectively.

Hit. Nail. Head. I wish I had mod points today. What's happening with liberalism today is a case study in self destruction. All we need to do is sit back and watch it play out.

Like those ideological purity tests...if we started measuring conservatives on the basis of how conservative are you, it would surely mark the beginning of the end. Liberal purity tests have pushed their kind so far to the extreme, they're now attacking themselves. And their tactic of keeping one constituency or another outraged at any given time has totally backfired.

I don't really blame liberals for being baffled. They've spent so much time in an echo chamber, they've lost touch. When reality finally slaps them in the face, it is only natural for them to try to figure out what happened. The question is, do they have the capability to make the necessary changes in order to correct their course?

Somehow I doubt it. Liberals are so

Me and Rush Limbaugh are both wondering, just how is the American flag any better? It, likewise, flew over slavery, the subsequent racism, and was (still is!) used in imperialist wars. It covered — still does at times — sexism and parochial bigotry.

Whatever you can say against the Confederate flag, can also be said about the American. Yeah, the latter may have been used for some good, but the sheer period of its usage (over 2 centuries and counting), makes it much worse than the former, whose country only existed for what, four years? Five?

Can it get any worse? Yes it can! A recent study has shown, that simply seeing the flag can cause a hitherto innocent victim to vote Republican! And even a single exposure can last for up to 8 months!
