Presumably this is off one of their post-breakup albums? Lends a rather cynical air to Hayley singing about being your own person, after the brothers left: She could do with caring a bit more about what other people (namely her band mates) want.
I would postulate that "the people" is referring to citizens, but admittedly don't have a citation for it. After all, if the people are being taxed, they expect representation or, failing that, as per above, assembly and petitioning rights. And if non-citizens aren't making any money in the U.S., are they still taxed?
I think when you're talking about half the country, you can no longer use the term "terrorists." Granted, a lot of those were slaves, but still. There are enough terrorists and pedophiles around without us constantly diluting the definition of the terms.
So what is your proposed solution that we should have already been implementing? Vote out the current party? Vote for third parties until they get the message? Armed revolt? I think I've finally resigned myself to the middle option.
Agreed. I've been debating giving it up for the last couple years because of the bottoming-out article quality, but if they actually roll that out, that'll be pretty much the last straw.
This redesign has been shaped by feedback from community members over the past few months (a big thanks to those of you who participated in our alpha testing phase!)
From the looks of the comments so far, it looks like they took the sample of the 15% of people who didn't hate it and discarded the rest. Way to go, guys. Either that, or you really need to choose your acceptance testing group better (although honestly, who doesn't?).
The difference is whether they admit up-front that it's been optimized for a specific application, or act like it handles *everything* better when that is not in fact the case.
I think it would've been more efficient to just say "it sucks really hard" instead of making up inflammatory and nonsensical extensions of existing terminology.

Heh, nice car analogy :) I do agree with your general arguments.
That said, the difference is that the mechanic is not likely to put a secret bomb in your car, of course.
Thank you.
Also: *libel.
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Except you can't actually call anybody from the world's tallest mountains...they don't have a cell tower on Everest, do they?

Freedom of speech is a real bitch

The only part of your post that attempts to answer the actual question is your first sentence. The rest is all sociopolitical whining.
/me looks for somebody else to explain what happened

Or are the blank stripes at the sides ads? I've forgotten how the non-AdBlocked live...
If you loved the old design, you'll hate the new design...
FTFY.
Pastels, rounded edges, and large whitespace stripes on the sides of websites make me gag.

Don't they force you to update to watch the latest discs? Or are you implying that those updates are better-tested
Yeah, because nobody could possibly have an opinion that disagrees with your "right" one who isn't being paid off.
without actually having to invade Russia (which could be costly).
"Could"?!?

The House of Representatives represents the will of the people.
Because the Senate isn't elected by the people?
There are occasionally people who realize that 'socialism' isn't actually a "scare synonym" for 'communism.'
I'm guessing the point was to make the code more readable to laypeople; however, a ternary operator is NOT the way to do that :)
I would thank you to never use the terms "nuclear plants" and "meltdown" in the same sentence unless you're talking about a LITERAL MELTDOWN.
See also the U.N. Peacekeeping Forces and the Data Angels (from the expansion).
Ironically, the Peacekeepers are one of the factions most likely to nuke you.
