    If you think that's "defending really hard", it's because you're a half-wit who considers any argument over five words long to be positively elitist.

    Any American trying to make an excuse for this kind of activity by either TigerSwan or the government is almost certainly a traitor, and should be dealt with accordingly.

    What "liberal death threats to conservatives" are these?

    And would you like to play the Mountain - Molehill game...the one where conservatives pretend if they can find one single incident it counts the same as a thousand similar or worse issues on their side?

    Do you con-trolls really think you can come to this place and run your usual tailored-for-morons bullshit and get away with it?

    Fake news is a conservative invention. Its foundation was laid by Joseph Goebbels and its modern avatar was carefully nurtured by Roger Ailes at Fox News...which isn't a news network, regardless of its name. In court cases it has admitted more than once it considers itself to be entertainment, not news. This frees it from any obligation to uphold professional standards.

    But you know this, of course. You simply aren't honest enough to acknowledge it.

    Too little, too late. They're hoping we'll forget their role in spreading right wing fake news in the run-up to Trump's election.

    Honey bees in North America are domestic by definition. Other species of bees are getting hit very hard by neonicotinoid pesticides, especially various bumble bee species.

    Absolutely true. But it's STILL, in my view, better than what Firefox has become. Certainly it's better for my needs and preferences. If Keyword.URL is important to you, by all means continue with Firefox. I have to suspect, though, that sooner or later they'll kill it off, too.

    It's not perfect, but I like it a lot, and now use Pale Moon as my go-to browser. In its efforts to be like Chrome, Firefox has sacrificed everything that made me choose it in the first place.

    It really doesn't matter if 99 out of 100 people see climate change as a real threat. As long as the top 1% keep earning billions of dollars off the status quo, and understand they will be protected from the effects, nothing is going to change.

    What, there were no telephones? No other ways for terrorists to communicate without actually meeting? You were right, perhaps unintentionally, when you spoke of "government control of the population". Because that's what this is about. Not terrorism, but control.

    Today is NOT a different story, at least not as far as this loathsome law is concerned.

    I don't disagree with you, but I don't think you're seeing the whole picture, either. Jamming WiFi and cell service is ridiculously easy, as is denying close access to a situation. What kind of video can your cell phone get from ground level and 200 yards back? Cell phone jammers exist, and if you don't think the authorities would use them...well, I don't think for a moment you're that naive.

    Don't ever make the mistake of believing people engaged in a massive power grab have only a single objective when they talk about measures like this.

    "All of the above" is most likely to be the correct answer.

    As many here have pointed out, attacks like this were far from unknown during "The Troubles". Yet somehow, the UK managed to muddle through without turning into a police state.

    May and the rest of her pet fascists need a strong lesson in reality, and I don't think the voters can deliver it without some encouragement about votes having consequences.

    I wonder what would happen if every social media account in the UK...all of them...stopped working. Email only if you want to contact somebody there. And telephone, of course.

    Parents should stop their children from watching inappropriate content, no matter what their sexual orientation.

    And then, of course, there's the fact that those kids are probably better equipped than most to understand the difference between Colbert's remark and a genuinely anti-gay one.

    If you think it wouldn't have been allowed in any other "configuration of the sexes", you should check out some of the signs and buttons that were sold at Trump's campaign events...and worn in front of kids.

    Nice try. The buttons were being sold at Trump rallies, bought by Trump supporters and worn by Trump supporters. And if you think being a philanderer makes one a sexual deviant, then you must hate about half of the GOP, including, prominently, Newt Gingrich among many others.

    As a matter of fact, he has a point. There's a reason why the KKK, as well as other white supremacist organizations and neo-Nazi groups overwhelmingly support conservative politicians. It's because they like what they see. When a neo-Nazi terrorist organization comes out in support of Bernie Sanders, you might have a point.

    Until that happens, you should probably just shut the fuck up and quit embarrassing yourself.
