Israel, for some of its citizens, is a liberal democracy, and that's commendable. On the other hand, it's an apartheid state, and for the sake of "maintaining it's Jewish character" is doing what apartheid states are wont to do, and committing a slow genocide against its oppressed.
It *is* a virtual community bulletin board. Nothing more. I've yet to see any criticisms of this concept that don't apply equally to message boards in meatspace.
Did you move the slider at all? It is in fact noteworthy that the page shows Israel has nearly doubled the size of its nuclear arsenal since worldwide arsenals peaked in '86. Likewise, it's worth noting that Israel is *not* a member of the NPT.
Why is this modded funny, and not insightful? Putting your fingers in your ears and screaming "lalalala free market solves everything you guys are just luddites" won't stop what's coming.
My understanding of the Continuing Criminal Enterprise conviction is that it means he will be spending life behind bars without the possibility of parole, with no discretion afforded in to the judge in sentencing.
Your anecdote really isn't an argument. 99% falling uselessly astray implies 1% that reach their intended targets. I'm glad you and your family were unharmed.
Many of us who exercise regularly don't do it for the runner's high, but because it can be meditative. Speaking as somebody with ADD, having even a small portion of my brain dedicated exclusively to one task gives me a kind of clarity I haven't found anywhere else.
Framing it this way is typical of a mindset that is depressingly endemic in our culture. We do not have a shortage of prisoners, we have an excess of prisons.
This guy's got the right idea. IN ISOLATION, how much total biodiversity is required to sustain a stable ecosystem that can support humans and is resistant to systemic failure?
Are you wondering why on Earth Obama would think it's a good idea to bomb Syria, when Libya was such a disaster? I'll give you a hint: both countries are non-members of the WTO, with state-owned banking systems. So is Iran.
The people who financed Obama's elections -- and who are the only folks for whom he's been a good president -- are the ones who have the most to gain by regime change in Syria.
"Drones killing civilians is an accident; people thought there was a military target there. Sometimes mistakes happen, and innocent people die, but the intent is to target military forces and largely that is what happens."
According to whom, the government that won't officially acknowledge the program exists?

You're avoiding the actual point: why are you the only one who posts long-form, and are you paid in any way to do so?
How are you marked insightful? This is UTTERLY FALSE. Advocating violence is absolutely protected speech in the USA.
AS IT SHOULD BE. Or do you think saying "Somebody should go kill those terrorist scum" ought to be illegal?
Explain to me how the Christ you would "fix by repairing" a RAM chip.
We're happy to hear your stories. But, listen: maybe they should go on the fridge, instead of the front page of Slashdot.
Ok, bud?
So I read that article out of curiosity, and if it's representative of RT's reporting it makes American media look just, very sad by comparison.
That county is dead. The residence of the county are legally responsible for the debt.
Maricopa county has a population of 3.8 million. If a $1 million judgment can destroy their budget they have bigger things to worry about.
Can we get a +1 'mic drop' option?
My real addiction is information.
It sounds more like you're addicted to the smell of your own bullshit.

I was trying to figure out what's wrong with you, but I'll just assume you're drunk.

FTFY
Or, you know, maybe because it's the language spoken by the other half of the western hemisphere? Just a thought.
