Your link doesn't provide any information on whether or not "Kill all white people" would be OK on Twitter, as that is not the statement made by either of the Twitter accounts quoted.
We would have to look at the past post history of both accounts to determine what went on here on Twitter.
The thing is that historically black people have been oppressed over the past several hundred years by white people through the process of colonisation, slavery, lack of human rights, and sadly this archaic attitude still seems to be in place.
"Kill all black people" was to some extent state policy for many countries until frighteningly recently - talking mid 20th century. My own country, Australia, is a horrible example here - Aboriginal Australians weren't even recognised as citizens until 1967.
All black people in the US only got the right to vote in 1965 with the Voting Rights Act signed by Lyndon Johnson.
Curious what you're implying here. Are you saying that the companies mentioned are able to influence EU politics with political donations? Do you have any info on how?
If it's a well planned, modern thinking, expedition, would seem to make more sense to compare her to Amundsen...
Scott appears to have been very brave, but he also seems to have been stuck in the century old Royal Navy mindset of the nobility of man hauling during polar exploration. Amundsen seems to have studied the problem of polar exploration from a very young age and put this knowledge gained into designing a successful solution. He got there first, got there faster, and didn't lose a single man.
I think the solution has been on Wikipedia for some time - it's presumably why the article is semi-protected from edits, and there's a lot of fierce talk on both sides on the discussion page.
What is somewhat interesting is that after 60 years, the performance rights of 'Mousetrap' have only just been made available in Australia. Sydney's
Genesian Theatre will produce the Australian premiere of the play in 2011. The rights holders really have been very strict about keeping the secret for many years, so it's hardly surprising they're upset at finding out it's on Wikipedia.
But I guess Australians will no longer have to travel to London or Wikipedia to find out the ending...
Tsk. Silly moderators. This should be +5 funny. I know non-Australians have difficulty with the extreme dryness of decent beer and Australian wit, but surely there's some Kiwis out there who can lend us your race horse. Even if we put him up in a crowded house which we'll claim to have built.
Mmm, but it was a good computer because it was controlled by Asimov's laws of robotics. Unable to harm humans, and so on. In the end you have computers running the world for the good of humanity far better than humans could. With the amusing proviso given in 'The Machine that Won the War' (which may have had a different name) of a General who didn't trust the computer and so flipped a coin to make decisions instead.
BTW, the commandment from the OT in the original Greek was "Thou shalt not murder", which is given its on definition seperate from kill.
Except that the OT wasn't originally written in Greek. I have no idea what the original Hebrew should best be translated as. And personally I'm rather of the opinion that the OT is best treated as a history of a previous covenant between humanity and God, rendered obsolete by the NT.
I think there have been studies (aren't there always:-) that relate to this. Too tired to look them up just now. Basic point was that increased safety equipment tends to lead to decreased safe driving/riding. Give somebody an airbag and they're more liable to rely on the airbag to save them in a crash, rather than driving safely to avoid crashes in the first place. I suspect that the same thing applies here - give somebody an airbag suit and they're likely to be less careful when riding. The airbag suit will save them if something goes wrong, after all. I think the best thing to do is to fit all cars and motorbikes with a large and pointy spike right in the middle of the wheel/bars, pointed right at your head. This would encourage people to be very, very sure that they're not going to crash into anything that might cause them to nod too enthusiastically.
Tsk. That can't right. Everybody knows that muggles use Windows. It's the wizards who use Linux and thus have need of the Transversus Celeritum Tempus incantation.
Fowler wouldn't describe particulars about how the technology
worked,
In combination with:
a judge wouldn't be able to rule on the legality of the software

So, they seem to have written a TCP/IP sniffer with a set of filters to catch email sent to/from web based email but they're not going to admit it because they don't want to get arrested for potentially making it easy to break wiretap laws without really meaning to.
It would seem that the problem with the movie (for some), is that LOTR doesn't seem to be something that it's really possible to digest in three hours. Any attempt to do so is therefore doomed to fail, or at least be less adequate a depiction of Tolkien's original vision than the book - it's just not possible to cram everything from the book into a movie and retain entirely the spirit of the book. Which is fine of course, and I think Jackson did a reasonable job, but (to continue with the digestion metaphor), the movie is something like take out from McDonalds, the book is a five course banquet with all the trimmings. Both can be enjoyable in their own way, but you can't compress a banquet into the space of a Big Mac and expect to avoid a little heart burn.

Wait 'til they actually release 7.1 final and not just the beta, and then check out EverythingLinux. It'll be there ASAP - CDR for about $AU 10-15 I imagine. Or have a look at the Mandrake mirror at aarnet which I imagine will have a download soon.

An Australian politician, David Oldfield, this year said on a national TV broadcast talking about Australian Aboriginal culture "You just naturally let it die out. I mean frankly, it should have died out, like the Stone Age died out." http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/first-contact-review-thank-god-for-david-oldfield-20161115-gspkr0.html
It's not at all about making it OK to say "Kill all white people".
It's about recognising that "Kill all black people" is a very real fear for many people, and working to make that no longer the case.
Curious what you're implying here. Are you saying that the companies mentioned are able to influence EU politics with political donations? Do you have any info on how?
Pretty much. http://asciimation.co.nz/
Do they expect that she won't make it?

No you don't. You have appalling public transport, as the rest of your comment serves to illustrate.

I found this to be how a number of pubs in Berlin operated. I'm sure they'd love to be told they were behaving like rural Bavarians. :-)
