That didn't apply to naturalized citizens. This new one does. Naturalized citizens are now second class citizens.
They are second class citizens. A naturalized citizen is a person who was born to illegal immigrants. They are second class citizens already because they are not eligible to become President or Vice-President. We already have restrictions for these folks. Why all of the sudden right now are your concerned about naturalized citizens rights? If you want to cry discrimination, then it's been going on the whole time but it's only now that you're interested apparently.
You're cured! Seriously, you are arguing that doctors decided to reclassify your condition going from the DSM-IV to DSM-V. You still have whatever it is you have. Do you prefer the label Autism? You have a condition, it is unique to you, do labels really matter? Who knows what they'll call you in the DSM-VI. And besides, I'm not seeing evidence of you having this disorder in this discussion. You could theoretically, obsessively respond to this thread but that would more or less diagnose you as having a common malady with the slashdot crowd.
You know what the biggest cause of discrimination is? Labels. As soon as you define one for one or more people and distinguish them as different, you paint a huge target on your back. I suspect the reason most people want so desperately to be diagnosed with these labels is to garner special treatment. Some legitimately have a condition and couldn't contemplate the idea due to cognitive impairment but you sure seem to have that capability.
The camera work also doesn't add; all dark, cold and gloomy. Will human spaceships really be more depressing than the inside of a WW2 submarine?
It makes me wonder with all the themes of gender equality, atheism and so forth that it is social commentary on an oppressed progressive group thus all the dark and gloomy. Perhaps they're supposed to show everyone that they're the light and everyone else is the darkness. Could we just make something fun instead of political for once? Roddenbery did a good job of balancing both of those. I don't know that the torch has been carried well.
I didn't know I chose to be Autistic because it was trendy nor that the people who post comments like that know more than the psychiatrists?
If you were autistic you most likely would not be able to make that coherent of a post. If you do have a condition on the autism spectrum it is probably Aspergers. It's a "high functioning" disorder on the autism spectrum. Yeah, some of us do know the subject matter. This is slashdot, news for nerds right?
You know what the problem with transgenderism is right now? That it's trendy, just like autism was trendy a few years ago, and having gay kids were a few years ago too
So what you're saying is our society is governed by pop culture and we make real issues part of that as pop culture "trends". Could this have something to do with reality TV? Nahhhhhh... Idiocracy here we come! If only there were a society that promoted free thinking instead of being programmed by media. "There's that fag talk again" (Idiocracy reference)
Already know it but did you know every Theist is gambling in precisely the same way as a non-thiest? For example, a Christian apologist is not losing much sleep that they might go to hell if they don't believe in Allah and vice versa. So... whether you are a theist or non-theist you are making Pascal's wager in precisely the same manner. The proposition is the same for both. Cheers!
It's bad. This study proves it. We must therefore ban it. Think of the children. Social Justice Warriors unite! We should all live in safe zone "bubbles". Life will be perfect.
Haha, flamebait! Did the little wittle snowflake get their feelings hurt. Aweeeeeeee... there there little buddy...
Think of the children?!?! They're one of the things that make flying suck!
Has it ever occurred to you how amazing it is that we were able to figure out how to engineer a gigantic metal bird that can transport large amounts of people to remote areas of the earth in a relatively short period of time? Is it amazing to you that flying is actually safer than driving? Is it amazing to you that this has enabled families to live in remote locations from each other and still be able to visit each other. It is truly REMARKABLE! And yet, here you are, complaining about something that is truly amazing as though you are entitled to some ideal thing without an ounce of gratitude.

Are you trying to suggest I'm a millenial? That's rich.:) Here's the thing: do you remember a time before you were born? Have you ever seen an afterlife? If you believe either of these are true, can you demonstrate it? At best, we can say that we know of this only existence and that the concept of there being anything before it or after it lacks sufficient evidence to prove those claims. Therefore, you have two choices 1) Either you say "I don't know of such a thing" or 2) it is likely due to the lack of evidence that there is no such thing. *shrug* Does anyone really truly know any different and have evidence to substantiate their claim? I've not found a single person who can do this and I've done more research and investigation on the subject than I would care to admit and turned up nothing.
There's much more than water vapour in the e-cigarettes' output: glycerine, propylene glycol. Bon appetit.
Aspartame, mono-sodium glutamate, smog, carbon monoxide, cholesterol, sugar. In modern society, you can't avoid ingesting crap. It's really a question of pick your poison. Your body is going to break down and go back into the ground regardless anyway. No one lives forever. But I suppose if it keeps your mind off of it, keep playing the chicken little game.
I would be far more concerned about the implications of this technology especially if used for terrorism than climate change or overpopulation. We could do ourselves in very quickly with this sort of thing.
Right, like in China where they execute people for white collar crime.. Or at least they used to, because all fraud and malpractice was stopped.
You fucking imbecile.
You're the fucking imbecile. You have to actually prove there was intentional fraud and that what was done meets the legal definition of fraud. Just arbitrarily declaring something fraud does not make it so. We have laws in the United States for this sort of thing. The problem is substantiating the claim that it actually was fraud based on the legal definition of it.
Riiiiight.... moral guidance. Because these people are not only the leaders of companies, they are the altruistic moral guiding light of everyone around them.
And the solution is to force everyone to be altruistic I suppose then? We should have a set of policies where the government forcefully takes the fruits of everyone's labor and their property and redistributes it?
why do you think its NOT ok to imprison ceo's? the rich white guys are that untouchable to you?
Better question: do you think it's okay to imprison tax payers for not paying their taxes (aka debtor's prison)? Think carefully before you answer. If you don't know the history of the topic I'd refrain from answering.
Punishing stupid with jail time has been proven to reduce, though not eliminate, stupid's influence on the average citizen. Might be good to start there.
There is no way to create a deterrent to stupidity because as we know, most people are unaware of how stupid they are because it actually requires sufficient intelligence to know this. Average ability people usually know when they are about to commit a crime but they are usually unaware of their own cognitive biases including overestimating their ability.
Hahahaha, good one - free market. We don't need those stupid consumer protections ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H overreaching regulations.
Ok, a person made an admin password "admin". That's STUPID! Do you know of a government regulation that can fix stupid? If you do, I guarantee you will win a Nobel Peace Prize.
the "free market" at work: screwing over ordinary people because who's going to stop them?
The "free market" is not inherent stupid or intelligent. Making an administrator password "admin" is stupid. It was a human error by someone who is obviously a moron.
The OP is making an Appeal to Stupidity. AGW is complicated, and he doesn't understand it, so therefore it can be flippantly dismissed as a non-problem.
Overpopulation has been dismissed in the same manner by human beings before we were even aware of a climate change problem. We seem to prefer doing that.
Water is everywhere, our bodies are mostly water by weight, and yet you somehow want me to believe that if I'm submerged in water for just a few minutes I'll die? That makes no sense to anyone with a shred of scientific understanding of our bodies, or indeed basic biology.
Even better -- we have finite resources on our planet but let's go ahead and reproduce exponentially. What could possibly go wrong?
Clearly, depends on the cat and the child - I've often thought that the line between human and animal consciousness/intelligence/etc. is much fuzzier than is traditionally taught.
When some of us are willing to strap C4 to their chest in the name of a fairy tale character they believe is real without any evidence, I don't believe you can classify our species as remotely intelligent. I also wonder what process it is by which we learn to invent imaginary things that we believe are real to the extent that we will go to war over differences of opinion over them thus causing much suffering. I hope some day we do become intelligent enough to stop this nonsense.
Slashdot Mirror
What I've learned in the past couple days is this...
Natural born citizens good, Naturalized citizens bad...
Translation: gaming the system at other people's expense, bad. When corporations do it, it's bad. When illegal immigrants do it, it's good.
That didn't apply to naturalized citizens. This new one does. Naturalized citizens are now second class citizens.

E-Cigarettes With Nicotine Increase Your Risk of Heart Disease
I'm shocked! SHOCKED I TELL YOU!
But I'll bet there's a hell of a lot less tar!
And Formaldehyde too

At least there won't be any more incessant bitching, moaning and complaining afterwards because that makes for a happy life.
