This idea is from the 50 or so Congressmen and Senators that make the normal TV broadcasts. Out of the 441 member of the House and 100 in the senate. And the Ranting of 3 million people (1% of the US population)
We are less partisan then the media has us to believe, it is just the crazy ones yell the most and get the most attention.
That is a good question, you could just be living a normal happy life if you don't let stuff like that bother you. Just classify it as an auto-correct mistake.
Because people cannot make their opinions separate from ideological views? You may not like Microsoft, but some of their products are really good. You may like Apple but find faults in how they do things. You may be a supporter of the GPL but realize that it doesn't work for all projects.
I use to be a Linux Zealot and a Microsoft Hater. But then I realized how hypocritical my views were. I hated such a feature that windows had, until it came on Linux where I was using it and showing it off.
Shatners Acting style. Isn't... This... Bad... as.. the... Parities.... Portrait... it... But it comes from a more traditional acting style which stemmed for the day of acting in a large room with an echo, or on TV or Radio that had about the same sound your standard laptop has, with some static based on your location. You needed to enunciate each word, so the viewers can get it. That and the TV had a lot less technical editing tricks, so he had to get his words right more often, and with TOS budget getting the words remembered often long and complicated and said without reference of the big ship in front of them.
Actually I don't get into to many problems, I never had an automated ticket. However I see cases where I found I did violate the law because the system was setup to allow me to violate the law by putting the information in locations that makes it hard to find.
You are stopped at the red light. The No Turn on Red sign is parallel to your car, you can't read it while you are at the red light. If you break the law and get caught, you can't use the excuse I couldn't read the sign, because I could if I was paying attention to all the signs that are posted. But the fact the sign is out of the way, they are counting on people to make the mistake as to bring up revenue.
The people who talk about it, have made there minds, There is a big set of undecided, There are people who have a mixed bag on what they want that doesn't fit political lines. Pro-Choice and Anti-Welfare Pro-Life and Wants welfare expansion Favors A larger military but more gun controls....
The moderates in the world are often treated as not having strong convictions, but they may have strong convictions however their views don't fit the molds, they take a little from each side and try to figure out what is the best balance. These are the people who determine elections, if they feel Romney or Obama has more of the wrong mix, then they will make their vote.
If we are going to just say we are all partisan, why bother voting for a person, we vote for the ideology we want, and we have judges determine if a persons actions fall under the winning ideology. But we actually hire people, people can determine if their key ideology just wont work for that situation and do the right thing and bend it for the greater good. Not being a flip flopper but because there are issues that come up that ideology alone doesn't cover.
I had a friend who got a $300 fine for driving with expired registration in the mail, because a police car flagged his car (Flagged when he was driving to the DMV to renew it), then months later they mailed him the fine, because the city needed some extra revenue. The same thing with traffic camera. I am OK with them monitoring the road, but if you are going to fine someone it should be done in real time. A parking ticket, when you get back to your car, you know you made a mistake. You run a red light, then you see Blue (or Red in NY) blinking behind you, you know what you did. These Delayed fines, are not helpful in solving bad behaviors, because too much time has gone by. Chances are the person doesn't even remember the act. We have all made mistakes, and not get caught. I have Ran Red Lights, not out of malice or being in a rush, but my mind was focusing on the car in front of me, or the guy tailgating me from behind, or just a brain fart of thinking Red is Go and Green is stop. (Red and Green are opposite colors and if you see the lights out of your direct vision, they can seem the same color.)
I have missed the Do not turn on Red Signs (as they place them where you can't read the sign if you are stopped at a red light.)
It is part of a bigger problem of Government thinking it is OK, to make revenue off of Fines, Then working hard to try to catch people breaking them.
Lets put the Traffic Lights upside down, so we can flag all the color blind people (or sideways like in Rochester, NY). Or lets make all the stop signs Green Circles. The heck with safety, we just need to bring in revenue.
Besides I don't see people who have JavaScript Disabled being the type that will just click on links anyways. But it appears that Facebook has a big problem. Now either the Bots are by Facebook to boost revenue, that would be be a cause of some major bad mojo. Or competitors are botting their competition to get them out of business.
Either way Facebook need to fix something to help their customers.
You are giving a counter argument by bringing up an extreme version of the contrary.
Government needs the correct balance, more control in some areas and less in others. If you are taking products that are sold to be ingested or said to help cure you of an issue, it should be regulated as to not allow snake oil sales men selling products that give people false hope or makes it worse.
When people are sick they are often desperate for care, and will make rash decisions.
The current generation of Consoles are getting old... If you are going to be doing home brew gaming then you want to work on the newer stuff. And most of this Home Brew computing was partially just to learn, but often in an attempt to make something that will be good enough to sell or get fame for. The new Software Store helps release software without the massive burden of before.
The average Sales Man often gets the title of VP of sales. Because they need to work with the other companies higher ups, having a VP in their title makes them seem important, not just a normal sales guy.
The GNU mindset is that everyone needs to be in the same mindset. That is its problem. When they use the Term Free, they are talking about Freedom for the End User, In order to choose offer this, the Developer has chosen to relinquish their freedom of their code. When software get more players involved, then you have the problem, not all developers are going to want to play by the same game, thus GNU fails in that regard.
" If you are given all the known facts upfront, you should be able to make your own choice."
Yet people still start to smoke, tobacco. When learned about how it effects others in the area who shown not to make the choice, they still continue.
Or you have stupid parents who believe some crazy nut job and will not vaccinate their children. In fear of a 0.001% increase of an other illness, while the vaccine will have a 5% chance of saving the child's life.
Given the Fact there will be a charismatic conspiracy nut that will refute the claims, that will attract a big following.
Beethoven, Mozart and Wagner, had survived fame in their music for hundreds of years, they are not good examples. Also they composed for different genres.
To an untrained year, Handle, Bach are nearly the same, Baroque Music tends to follow similar trends. Even Mozart and Hyden, have a lot of similarities.
Time Blurs memory. A lot of popular tunes of yesteryear, have been mostly forgotten, leaving the more valuable rare gems to stand out. So you listen to the oldies station 50's 60's and 70's the station is playing 3 decades of the best music. You listen to a popular music station you get 5 years of music, And they repeat the same stuff the same amount of time.
So you have 300 songs over 30 years vs. 300 songs over the last 5 years. Then you have the classical Music Stations that has 300 songs over the past 300 years.
It sounds like NASA has a culture problem it needs to be fixed. However I think if the public/the people who pay their checks, demand more cooperative efforts they will slowly change their mindsets.
But whenever you have different countries working together we always have these types of bickering, but they usually just go on in the higher levels, keep the press going on.
China has a short term strategy. Low Labor Costs, are based on supply and demand. There are a lot of Chinese (A big supply) bigger then their demand for work. However as they grow more, they will get more skilled, and begin to diversify their jobs, and demand more pay. Even in a totalitarian government, if the gap between their actual worth and what they get paid is too wide, there will be increase in under the counter work, or they will go to an other country (Brain drain in china). Stealing IP, Isn't a strong model to work off of. As the people who they are stealing it from get better mechanisms to prevent it. Sure they can find more ways to bypass them. But as some point you need to figure that you are putting more R&D time trying how to steal Other Ideas, then you could put in making new ones yourself. Totalitarian rule. Most of China's success has been in their gradual moving away from the communist ideas and embarrassing more capitalistic ideas. With more people who have stuff, they have more stuff they want to protect from someone else. That will lead to more revolts, or less Totalitarian actions from the Chinese to prevent chaos.
Can China be #1? Possibly it is the worlds most populous nation, and has a lot of resources. However just because the US could be regulated to #2 it doesn't mean US will loose out.

Because not everything boils down to Genetics. The environment has a major factor too.

You have the freedom of choice. However you should have people who are offering you the goods and services to be sure they are on the Up and Up.
