  1. You must be posting from the future. Can you please give me the winning powerball numbers?

  2. Why would we put Tina Fey in charge of Russia's nuclear inspections?

    From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification. Separate from those, about 2,000 additional e-mails were “up-classified” to make them Confidential; the information in those had not been classified at the time the e-mails were sent.

    2? Are you calling James Comey and the FBI, and all the government agencies involved liars?

  4. I am eagerly awaiting you to release the contents of your tax returns. The president is not required in any way to release their tax returns, and you only want to see them so you can feel smug, so why should he release it?

    When will Hillary submit to the FOIA and records acts by actually turning over the emails she sent and received as is required of government employees at the level of the Sec of State? Why aren't you crowing about how she hasn't done something yet that is actually legally required of her? Why do you care so much about a tax return that doesn't even matter, and isn't required to be released legally?

    Perhaps what people object to is the US government running healthcare. They have proven that they can't do it well, but I guess you don't care.

    Are you trying to claim that Apple don't produce faults? I have to kindly disagree with you here, Apple have just as many issues as other manufacturers.

    Touch Disease
    nVidia thermal cycling issue causing BGA mounts to crack and video to be lost
    Numerous instances of batteries having thermal runaways

    Every manufacturer has issues, Apple is not immune just because they have glowing fruit logos on their laptops.

    Anonymous Coward often receives -1 troll,

    That would be because ACs are mostly trolling Slashdot, not because there is a conspiracy against ACs.

    so it's inappropriate then they should receive a 5 informative now

    So, it is inappropriate that a post contributing to the conversation should be modded up because many ACs post trollish comments? That doesn't follow logically, perhaps you are confused about how this system works?

  9. For fucks sake, the corn industry probably kills or harms more people in a month with its now-revealed war on dietary science than all the terror attacks in the US, Canada and Western Europe in the last half century.

    I can't speak for Canada and Europe, but this is caused by the corn industry in the US. Sugar has tariffs in the US to make it more expensive than corn syrup to support the corn industry, so everything uses corn syrup as a sweetener. Corn syrup has a higher percentage by volume of fructose than actual sugar, and fructose is turned into fat automatically in the body. This is part of the problem, but even sugar isn't very good for you in large quantities, but it is at least marginally better than corn syrup.

  10. Being against Obama continuing the Patriot Act does not imply someone was for it under Bush. I spoke out against it here then, but supported Bush for the most part. Just because you are blindly partisan does not mean that everyone else is.

  11. Do you honestly think that option A happened ever before the ACA? Emergency room care has for quite a while been guaranteed to all that come. The ACA didn't change care, it just forced people to have insurance instead of relying on the handouts of hospitals. Were you ever even in an ER before the ACA? They were always packed with people who were not emergencies because so many used them as their regular doctor due to being too poor. If the government wanted to correct the issue, why not go single payer? Instead we get a handout to insurance companies, and people defending it like it is single payer.

    So, when did Congress pass laws establishing a national religion? What you are speaking of is that all religions, including Christianity, are allowed to freely practice their religion. Would you rather live in a country where religious are not free to practice their religion? Feel free to move to China than if that is what you want.

    World's largest polluter in what?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    According to this, China is the top of the pile for CO2. The US environmental regulations have caused us to have very clean air and water, where China has no regulation and pollutes their land air and water to the point where people are dying from it. But I guess you don't care about facts and figures and work more off your gut?

    Here's another article about it:

    You don't see people walking around with dust masks on in the US, but I am sure you already knew that.

    For fine particulates, China is still pretty bad, though Saudi Arabia surpasses them there. Likely it is due to the desert there though.

    As far as disproportionate, not really. VW has more diesels on the roads in the US than any other car manufacturer. The impact is more for this issue than other diesel manufacturers who were also fined steeply. Considering the EU feels it can fine Apple for paying the taxes they owe in Ireland, I am not sure how you think this fine is somehow disproportionate.

  23. Conservative moron? You must think that Hillary is a right wing fanatic, because I am far left of her.

    You seem to think that women want men in dresses gawking at them in the bathroom. This happens now, but I guess you are fine with it. This was an attempt to stop that behavior, it wasn't something the politicians did for the hell of it, people requested it.

    Big centralized government this is not, that is when the Fed tells other states that they have to marry people against their laws. But I guess you don't care about state rights.

    The national issue wasn't caused by North Carolina, they passed a law, they didn't care what the rest of the nation thought about it.

    I wish it hurt to be as blind as you are, it might make people think more about things before they post inflammatory garbage like this.

    Except Muslim is a religious group, and Hispanic (not Mexican...) is a ethnicity, I am not sure how Trump could be racist. Also, as he didn't actually say anything negative about Muslims or Hispanics, it is kind of hard to try and pin him as being against these groups anyways. So no, Trump is not racist, except in the eyes of people who find everyone who doesn't agree with them fully as racists.
