I do, actually. They started off, though, pretty much like Trump's more avid supporters and his "security" people. They don't like different opinions, and they're willing to get violent to suppress them. The Nazi brownshirts' behaviour changed for the worse as they became more powerful. Do you really think Trump's animals wouldn't be out there kicking people to death if they thought they could get away with it?
Clinton is so far ahead she could only be hurt by turning Sanders into a martyr. Face it...it's Trump's mouth-breathing imbeciles going after a target that can't fight back.
Is there any doubt at all in the minds of sane people that 100% of White Supremacists and neo-Nazis who actually intend to vote in the coming US federal election will cast their vote for a Republican?
This certainly shortens the list of suspects in this situation.
Unless I'm mistaken, quite a bit that isn't available at all anymore. FF wants to be Chrome...and I don't like Chrome. I might feel differently if I didn't have to spend about half my time on an old system, where PM's lack of bloat and small memory footprint give it a major speed advantage.
Your implicit assumption that nobody in their late teens and early 20's has any capacity for critical thought is, to be charitable, inaccurate.
And then there's your blatant ignorance of the fact that just about every country providing a really excellent standard of living for the majority of its population would be identified by you as "socialist".
Sorry, but they pretty much did. They aren't stupid enough to push exclusively right wing or libertarian books. They provided enough exceptions to the rule that they can point at them and say, "See, we aren't one-dimensional!"
And while touting books has most certainly been a part of the Hugo process going right back to when the ghost of John Campbell still had a vote, this kind of "slate" approach is a somewhat different phenomenon.
As a Canadian, I would never have used the word "Republican". "Right wing dickheads who think Star Wars is SF"...now that's an epithet I could support.
Perhaps the account I read was a bit...overheated. Nevertheless, it was pretty funny, because the guy who was arguing that the F-35 is the greatest thing since sex just vanished like the last cold beer at a tailgate party when I posted a link to the story.
Aren't you the guy who was arguing with me a year or so ago about what a great plane this is, while I said it was a giant turd squeezed out onto the taxpayers of the USA and its clients?
The argument ended, if I recall correctly, when you vanished in the wake of a story that one of these pathetic trailer queens burned down to the landing gear while sitting on a runway, and they had to ground the whole fleet.
As you say, no anecdote is the whole picture. However, my experience led to results so spectacularly one-sided I have difficulty believing they don't apply more widely. Although Canada isn't as progressive as many European countries with respect to sexual equality, it's certainly beyond the US.
I've also found out my experience was far from unique. For example, the woman who taught me BASIC had a pretty lucrative sideline doing that for small evening classes at the local high school. She tried offering the same class free for women, along with one on MS-DOS. (This would be sometime in the late 80's). She stopped after a while because there weren't enough takers to be worth her time. The few women who actually were interested were willing to pay, and wound up in the same class I took.
I'm glad things worked out well for you and your co-workers. I suspect, though, it's your experience that is anomalous rather than mine.

Thanks for providing the US government propaganda department's point of view.

Well played, Sir!
A charming comment, and not even off-colour. ;-)
...that somebody came along and stole all the technology US Stelle looted from Stelco in Canada, and moved down to their US plants.
Now if China found a way to steal pensions, too, it would really be a case of poetic justice.
I hear it left a real meson the floor.

They were invaded by penises when Trump's supporters arrived. Whether or not some of them were pilots, I really couldn't say.
But most likely, by far, is that it actually is Trump supporters. In fact, we can pretty much take it as a certainty.
Only in Perry Mason is the guy standing over the corpse with a smoking gun in his hand an innocent victim of cruel circumstance.

The behaviour of Trump's brownshirts speaks for itself.

Sorry, but I can't resist paraphrasing an old Victorian Era insult: "It shines and stinks like rotting mackerel by moonlight".
I have to spend time on an old system, and PM's much smaller memory footprint and lack of bloat means speed.
Bullshit. You're a paid shill who has posted the same crap elsewhere.
Or maybe you're just a fan of bloated Chrome wannabe browsers.
What a load of condescending crap!

True. Otherwise, you'd be trying to get your mouth around his dick.
The Chinese are just pissed off because a low-tech iPhone means there's not nearly as much cutting-edge tech for them to steal. ;-)

It's Firefox before they buggered it up.

The first time they asked, she said, "Walmart!" ;-)
So you'd take your sick child to a physicist?
Great idea! Go for it!
Consequence free? You're either a moron, a hypocrite, a liar or a fool. Personally, I think "douchebag" fits you nicely.
