Don't confuse the religious bigotry and superstition of the 15th century with the scientific method of today, please.
Although unfortunately religious bigotry and superstition does seem to be making a comeback in conservative circles of, how ironic, the country that was the scientific motor of the 20th century.
Are you fucking retarded? Do you think if the Russians should hand over information to Wikileaks they will do it with a greeting card "From Russia with Love"? Don't you think that if they have the means to hack into highly confidential systems, they don't have groups and their ways to hide their involvement. Jesus, wake the fuck up already.
Everyone should be able to get up to two kids and we would still reduce the population over time. With the people who die before having offspring and those who don't want any to begin with, population would gradually decline without anyone having to forgo a family.
I think some population control at a global scale is desperately needed. All our problems come down to that there are simply too many people using up too many resources.
I think as humans who have come to dominate the planet, we have a certain responsibility not only for ourselves but also for all the other species that have evolved on this planet, alongside us, and happen to share our natural environment at this point in time.
I was going to say the same thing. Personal freedoms and privacy protection are important, but it is all meaningless if we destroy this world that is hosting us.
Yes. Nuclear Power is so awesome, until something bad happens and suddenly it costs you 100 billion dollars which the power company can't afford, so it basically goes bust and has to be bailed out by the state and the taxpayer steps in to pay for everything.
Yes, we know. All mainstream media are fake news. All hail the trustworthy Fox News and Breitbart. Wikipedia has a left-wing bias, as has physics, universities, Einstein (dirty Jew) and science in general. All hair our great Fuerer Trump and his new Mobocracy.
was also the subject of two class action lawsuits in federal court. The lawsuits centered around allegations that Trump University defrauded its students by using misleading marketing practices and engaging in aggressive sales tactics. Trump settled all three lawsuits in November 2016, after being elected to the presidency; he agreed to pay a total of $25 million.
No, Trump supporters don't give a crap about the fact that their messiah is a Bullshitter in Chief. Maybe they are just stupid. Really, really stupid people.
After a disaster like NMS, I would prefer a game developer to try to make things right, like Hello Games are doing, by releasing free content and enhancing the game, rather than simply disappearing.
But maybe I'm not so bitter about them because I didn't buy their game. I was very interested, but you could smell the hype from a mile away. And those promotional videos, you could easily tell that they were scripted and not real in-game material. So I decided to wait and see.
Really, all those butthurt kids whining about NMS need to get a clue. Don't fucking preorder and wait for the reviews.
The problem with America is, your moral compass is skewed so far to the right, that you perceive CNN as being on the left.
Sorry, but it's not true. It's your perception that is the problem. By European standards, or the rest of the world for that matter, CNN is even conservative. It's the American society that for some reason has drifted so far to the right, it's not even funny anymore. Only in America some nutcase conservative could come up with something as "Conservapedia" http://www.conservapedia.com/ Because Wikipedia, a real encyclopedia, has a "liberal bias".
That is not -fake -news. There is of course selective journalism and it is no surprise CNN will censor a woman saying "shit" 5 times in a sentence. You can't air that in public television. Also, the woman is not "calling for violence" she is saying if you need to burn shit down, do it somewhere else, and she is obviously emotionally agitated. That's the equivalent of a bartender asking a pair of ruffians to take their fight outside.
If you put that on the same level as actual -fake news- where people either totally make up facts or deny actual, real facts, there is something wrong with your perception. There is real, actual fake news, and you won't find that stuff on CNN, but on Breitbart, for example.
CNN issued a formal apology for putting a banner graphic on screen that appeared to give credence to extreme right-wing propaganda about people of the Jewish faith.
Gotta love those heroes of Slashdot who mod you down because they don't like what you say and are probably too stupid and lazy to give counter arguments instead.
Look buddy, I'm getting tired of reading these accusations on the likes of CNN or MSNBC at the top comments whenever there is an article on fake news.
I'm not American, I'm a multilingual European and I follow world events closely. I read the German public news (Tagesschau), the BBC, Spanish "El Pais", Al-Jazeera for the middle east perspective and also CNN and Fox News for the American pitches (MSNBC not so much).
And from comparing all of these together, I believe I am qualified to say that CNN has a good quality to their journalism, at least the main articles. It has moved somewhat to the side of the "lowest common denominator" in terms of the articles presented on the site, like almost all American news have, but there is also good journalism being made there. I have yet to see blatant fake news on CNN. Fox News is more guilty of that overall, and of course you have the highly conservative bias floating in the background. Still, none of these are at the same level of real Fake News sites such as Breitbart, which intentionally run fake articles with the explicit strategy of being sensationalist (click-bait articles to make money) and misleading people. It's a completely different level.
I'm sorry, but if you accuse the likes of CNN and MSNBC of being fake news, show me the evidence of shut out about it.
You are experiencing false nostalgia. There was never a golden age of "real" journalists. Journalists misreported the WMD evidence in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq.
I don't remember journalism being involved in any way. This was orchestrated by the Bush administration. You could practically feel the embarrassment of Colin Power when he was showing images with gray smudges on them to the UN, claiming them to be the sites with WMD. He didn't buy the story himself, but he was just obeying orders from Rumsfeld and Cheney, like the good solider he was.
All that is happening now in the US has happened before in Europe. You need evidence? Just google "Putin far right funding" or "Putin Trolls". Here, let me give you a hand:

Slashdot Mirror
I guess this means I will have to buy a complete AMD system on my next desktop gaming PC upgrade.
I have this terrible fear of a reality in which AMD has shut down and the world is at the mercy of the one and only Intel GPU monopoly.
... and blame the infidels for all the bad things that happen.

We're not doing such a good job thus far.
I was going to say the same thing. Personal freedoms and privacy protection are important, but it is all meaningless if we destroy this world that is hosting us.

You want to keep on wearing a potentially exploding phone in your pants?
Great idea! This is how natural selection works.
People who actually believe it are in the minority and are simpletons or mentally ill.
So basically, Trump supporters. Sounds legit.
Yes, we know. All mainstream media are fake news. All hail the trustworthy Fox News and Breitbart. Wikipedia has a left-wing bias, as has physics, universities, Einstein (dirty Jew) and science in general. All hair our great Fuerer Trump and his new Mobocracy.
If you think that RT, the mouthpiece of Vladimir Putin, has more credibility than CNN, you are an idiot.
Or perhaps more likely, a Russian propaganda troll or an "alt-right" Trump fan. Hard to tell the difference anymore.
That's fine. Take a deep breath. Having very small doses of foreign matter in your body strengthens your auto immune system.
It's how vaccines work.
You forgot to mention the Trump University that
was also the subject of two class action lawsuits in federal court.
