  1. Re:In 2014, racial affirmative action is stupid on Supreme Court Upholds Michigan's Ban On Affirmative Action In College Admissions · · Score: 1

    Kids with dumb and irresponsible parents will generally have genes making them dumb and irresponsible. Giving these genetic lines "more opportunities" to proliferate is counter-productive.

  2. Re:Good. on GitHub Founder Resigns Following Harassment Investigation · · Score: 1

    Nonsense, a woman who makes an allegation will almost always get everything she wants. Most women stay silent because "sexual harassment" is about as big of a problem as someone microwaving popcorn

  3. Re:I am confused on this issue on Administration Ordered To Divulge Legal Basis For Killing Americans With Drones · · Score: 1

    Killing active combatants isn't controversial, it seems what brings up ethical issues is that the USA is conducting the conflict through an assassination program, which is not how you fight a real defensive war.

  4. The strikes really only take place at the local government's request, though it's kind of hard to tell if such governments are sanctioned by the people when dissenters are killed.

  5. Re:Sunk Costs on $42,000 Prosthetic Hand Outperformed By $50 3D Printed Hand · · Score: 1

    If I spent $10,000 on a 3D printer. I couldn't just open the box and push the "Give me a 3D Prosthetic Hand" button

    No shit, you need to print the button first.

  6. Re:This will be a litmus test on Cody Wilson Interview at Reason: Happiness Is a 3D Printed Gun · · Score: 2

    Major donors will still shape policy on an issue as long as it doesn't antagonize the general membership too much. The "corporate gun lobby" itself is influenced by government connections more than the big government supporters can admit, since after all government is every big gun manufacturer's best customer.

  7. Re:Beans & Rice, Rice & Beans on Ask Slashdot: Hungry Students, How Common? · · Score: 2

    My school banned rice cookers too, no arguing they are simply confiscated and you are fined. Nearest food store was also a 20 minute drive. Couldn't have guessed when I was applying to college that it might have food supply logistics similar to a derelict bus in Alaskan bush country.

  8. Re:Even "student athletes" go to bed hungry on Ask Slashdot: Hungry Students, How Common? · · Score: 1

    Don't think most schools' plans are that flexible. Many have for-profit contractors running food service, so I'm sure they're not.

  9. Re:Come on, this is insane on Americans Uncomfortable With Possibility of Ubiquitous Drones, Designer Babies · · Score: 1

    You're the one who seems out of touch, the most popular drone is the semi-autonomous assassination bomber. There have been some advancements in computer processing since the 80s...

  10. Re:Easy Militia States on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 1

    Tendency is for the laws to be standardized, Stevens knows that only a federal ban on private ownership would be practical after such an Amendment

  11. Re:recent spate of mass killings? on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 1

    It's very strange that people are less disturbed by a serial killer who has lost count of how many he has killed, and who got away with it for so long over such a wide area that the police can't determine how many people are unaccounted for either.

  12. Re:Of course, Stevens is looney. on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 1

    Rare event in a small country, you have to wait 100 years to prove it. China will have invaded and easily occupied the disarmed country before that milestone is reached, however.

  13. Re:Same old, same old. on Student Records Kids Who Bully Him, Then Gets Threatened With Wiretapping Charge · · Score: 1

    You left out the part where the girls laughed at your beatdown and told the principal you started it

  14. Re:What a strange discussion on Study Rules Out Global Warming Being a Natural Fluctuation With 99% Certainty · · Score: 2

    Are China and Russia taking action, is Saudi Arabia switching to wind? It's tiny resource-poor countries that embrace environmentalist righteousness since they have always had to live frugally anyway

  15. Re:When participation is mandatory? I believe. on Can the ObamaCare Enrollment Numbers Be Believed? · · Score: 1

    The cost for the treatment you received in the 90s probably doubled or tripled by now, so it's questionable how long Medicaid would be sustainable

  16. Re:Boys vs. Girls on Google: Teach Girls Coding, Get $2,500; Teach Boys, Get $0 · · Score: 1

    Men can't bear children, work is the only thing that gives their lives meaning. They also have to pay for dates. Women should get a stipend to cover gas, lunch, and tampons, but it's only fair for 95% of the payroll to be reserved for the pathetic males.

  17. Re:Sex discrimination. on Google: Teach Girls Coding, Get $2,500; Teach Boys, Get $0 · · Score: 1

    Women are 99% of the prostitutes

    How is an additional job opportunity supposed to indicate adversity?

  18. Re:With knowledge comes understanding on How the Internet Is Taking Away America's Religion · · Score: 1

    Most religions encouraged scholarly and scientific research, at least amongst the clerical class. The only thing the common man has learned from the internet is how many penises can fit inside a woman's anus.

  19. Re:i don't understand on Was Eich a Threat To Mozilla's $1B Google "Trust Fund"? · · Score: 1

    Apology would not have kept him his job, would have just been used as part of a Maoist style public humiliation. See Paula Deen, or even Limbaugh's apology for criticizing that freeloading slut.

  20. Re:Virulently? on Was Eich a Threat To Mozilla's $1B Google "Trust Fund"? · · Score: 1

    probably were looking for "vehemently"

  21. Re:Im all for human rights... on OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights · · Score: 1

    They have to pay taxes for gay entitlements, though, just like they have to pay for "family planning" for depraved heterosexuals. Granted you can probably find some tax money making its way to religion, but there are probably more grants to nonprofits with a satanic mission

  22. Re:Im all for human rights... on OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights · · Score: 1

    Didn't they call for a boycott of Barilla pasta because the CEO said his ads would only feature traditional families? The gay agenda does involve encouraging homosexual behavior and the destruction of the family, the people who support this cause are less concerned with helping the poor gays than covering up their own inability or unwillingness to contribute to civilization.

  23. Re:April Fools stories are gay on OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights · · Score: 1

    The way people think is probably more genetic than you'd like to believe. Certainly people who think that a legal structure to regulate sexual reproduction can possibly apply to a pair of the same sex must have a neural fault somewhere. OK, it's possible that technology could someday allow two people of the same sex to produce a child, but that's not the reality we live in currently. Of course not stopping such genetic manipulation would be a grave error, just like not stopping the promotion of homosexuality will be prove to be.

  24. Re:April Fools stories are gay on OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights · · Score: 1

    And you support nothing that might negatively impact others' lives? Not surprising that someone focused on what's between their legs can't consider that possibility

  25. Re: 14th Amendment on U.S. Court: Chinese Search Engine's Censorship Is 'Free Speech' · · Score: 1

    I see your point, but if it reached a certain scale that website probably would face legal action.
