No, but conservatives think it's a spiffy idea to teach teenagers (you know, those walking hormones) that abstinence as a way to not get pregnant. That's why the religious nutjob states have the highest rates of teen pregnancies and repeat teen pregnancies.
I'm actually fairly sure that the number of people who did NOT vote for her because she's a woman is about on par with the number of people who voted for her exclusively for that reason.
Her gender should make no difference, and it makes no difference for me. She's a despicable human being. About as much as Trump. To quote my grandpa (he said that in 1942, so apologies for the language), "what really matters in the end is not whether you're Aryan or not, but whether you're an asshole or not".
Sadly, an asshole understood what he meant.
As long as we cling to superficial, irrelevant matters, we will not get better outcomes from elections. We care about whether someone prays to the "right" imaginary friend instead of asking what plans they have to balance the budget. We make their gender, skin color or sexual preference an issue instead of wondering what they have planned to give our kids a better education and return the US to the top of scientific research.
A friend of mine once said it, and I can only agree: The US will be a democracy once a Jewish, lesbian, black woman becomes president, but only if she wins because she's got the better program and not because she's a Jewish, lesbian, black woman.
One's business is making content, one's business is transporting it. So no. And neither is a leaflet printer required to carry my snail mail spam to you, but the mail service is.
There is no infinite stack of turtles, because the Earth Disc is perpetually accelerating upwards at exactly 9.81m/s, or where do you think what you call "gravity" comes from?
Only on/. you could make a joke about something disgusting and someone replies with well thought out, helpful information you wish you wouldn't have gotten...
You know, this makes the whole shit much more appealing. Kinda like the cocoa beans the Aztec used(IIRC, at least one of those cultures around the Mesoamericas), it's perishable wealth. Spend it or watch it rot.
Good. Spend your bitcoins while you can, make the money change hands. That's what drives an economy, people. The less you're able to save, the better.
I think the term is "nobody has an obligation to give you a platform". And yes, nobody does. Unless of course they are a monopoly. Then it starts being a bit iffy.
And freedom. Somehow this is certainly very much pro-freedom. Dunno how yet, but we'll find a reason why everyone is much freer if telcos can rape your butt.
Of course not. It's not a block, it's preferential routing to benefit our customers best interest. And since our customers are too stup... busy thinking what might be in their best interest, we take this problem out of their hands. FOR FREE I may add!
Why Hillary failed? You need a BOOK for that? For real?
The US population is used to their presidential elections to be a dog-and-pony show. This time it was worse. It was a bitch-and-jackass show. BOTH of them were unfit for the office and both of them also knew what we all knew: We can't simply say "no, fuck you". One of them WILL be president.
The main reason Hillary failed is that for most people it doesn't matter whether a bitch or a jackass is president, they want neither.
Hmm... so I guess even racists have become more politically correct. The autocomplete results for "how to lynch" do of course include "a black person" but not "a ni....".
Great. The system works. Yeah, they still wanna hang them, but at least it's not offensive!

As a hardware guy I say that after you burned the rom and fucked up, you can only throw it away and take a new one.
Yes, kids, Earth is THAT old that we didn't have EEPROMs yet.
True. But it's a bit like with liberals, it seems the number of sane ones is dwindling into insignificance.
No, but conservatives think it's a spiffy idea to teach teenagers (you know, those walking hormones) that abstinence as a way to not get pregnant. That's why the religious nutjob states have the highest rates of teen pregnancies and repeat teen pregnancies.
There is no equivalence. There's a huge difference between a bitch and a jackass.
There is also a huge difference in shooting and hanging. But I still want neither.
You know, the last time this actually happened, it took 4 years of civil war to beat some sense into people.
It's already been a century, too, since anyone who wasn't part of The Party to come in second.
So I can decide what corporate shill will eventually run against the corporate shill the other side of The Party managed to field?

Sadly, we're further from this than ever.
Way to miss the point.

The money will in the end come from one American, yes.
Do you think any legislation to that matter would bother going any further than this?

Checks is what I write to politicians when I need a law, and balance is what I care about in my bank account.

Well, you know those tree-hugging liberal hippies. They still believe in this lovey-dovey "for the people" bullshit.

Great. The system works. Yeah, they still wanna hang them, but at least it's not offensive!
Sucks. Try looking for horse porn and all you get is dudes jacking off on My Little Pony toys. Disgusting!
Exactly. With "how to have" my first auto-complete result is "a life"...
Umm...
Never mind.
Turn off the "personalized search results" you pervert!
It's the ultimate form of Capitalism. A government bought and sold according to the laws of supply and demand.
