Someone making death threats is a fucking deranged idiotic imbecile.
Sounds perfectly electable to high office then. I mean, so what? That kind of behavior is frequently given big rewards. The big deal here seems to be the target, not the act. So, it's either cool, or it isn't.
And what's that about a 'price on someone's head'. What governments do that? I don't understand that at all.
A very short memory you have.(aside from the fact you might not know what a "bounty" is) I just got done looking it up to refresh my memory, and I'll do the same for you, and remind you of a pretty famous guy who had a 25 million dollar reward put on his head. (don't know if that was ever paid out, heh, any more than we know if he's not on some swank Black Sea resort out there with Saddam) Let's see if if you know who I'm talking about. Of course there are many others. If you ever visit a post office, you just might notice the list, with pictures and everything.
And furthermore, words are bullshit. Only the reaction means anything at all. That is the target. Always the follower, they are the danger to contend with.
A death threat isn't credible until an actual attempt has been made. And even then words are just words. Nobody has to listen or react in any way towards them. We're looking at another case of widespread attempted censorship here. She may be a fake, but the wannabe dictators will run with it.
Yeah, it's okay to put a price on someone's head. Governments do it all the time and few people complain about it. Now, the person who takes up the offer and tries something should be locked up tight. Everybody goes at this from exactly the wrong angle.
As long as they can't stop community/municipal build out in the poorer neighborhoods, it would be perfectly ok. But, they want it all, on their terms, and we're giving it to them through the electoral process. Not cool...
Why are you trying to regress back to seventh grade social studies? No, the real world isn't a House of Cards. It's a plain old regular chimp saying, *Pick the fleas off my back, and you can have my girl for the night*.
Yes, some people actually enter public service for noble reasons, and if they want to maintain that "nobility", they will get nowhere, and will lose the next election if they raise a fuss. If they want to get on some committee with real power and influence, and stay in office, and fix those potholes, then all bets are off. They're going make deals, or it all shuts down. They are animals, in not so cheap suits.
I won't call any of this "crooked" per se, because it is perfectly natural behavior. People will do whatever they can get away with. The veneer of civility only holds up while there's something to eat and something to fuck. Let's not read anything into it that's not there, and definitely let's not pretend there's any "nobility" in the system.
Why not? It's very same thing the government practices.. I sincerely hope i don't have to spell it out. It's how your sell shit. You lie, and hope the suckers will buy it, if not, then create a new lie. This is the history of man and nature.
I don't see the big deal. If people buy what you're sellin' , then more power to ya. Everybody always attacks the wrong guy in these things.
They still leave the operators open to liability, and he/she has to pay attention. The vehicle is not autonomous until then. Babysitting the damn thing is not part of the deal.
Maybe that's what they want, de-Internetize the world.
Yes, control of communications is extremely important to any powerful organization. Social control equals more profit. Balkanizing the system with multiple tiers and incompatible protocols is the most efficient way. Make the people change trains at every border. And don't lose your iPhone cable.
Eh, whatever... What happens in the future will depend on the people we elect into office. If we buy what they're selling, waddya gonna do?
A kill switch is not socially useful, except to the social dictator. The delusion of reducing theft, and other petty crimes is a perfection distraction.
"They", the people we surrender our authority to, are abusing that authority. That is scientific fact. "They" sell that abuse as beneficial, "for the children", national security, etc, so everybody goes for it. I guess you bought into it yourself.
We're all becoming a bit more desensitized to this kind of thing thanks to the internet...
Are you one of those people who want to sanitize war and make look all glorious and stuff? You know what's fucked up? People complaining about publishing nasty videos and pictures and not the people who actually produce the content. It's like those complaining about Snowden instead of the crimes he exposed. You all need to shift your target.
We just need a way to make the internet indelible. Censorship is always evil. And I will continue to use the word "censorship" because I don't care who does it.
Why do enough members of my own gender have to be such creepy bastards that we need something like this to be developed?
Because those are the types of people we reward with powerful political positions and high paying jobs. Such is the power of charisma. The psychos are loaded with it.
The whole "deduction" thing should go out the window. It's corrupt by design to protect speculators and hoarders. And I still insist that individuals not be burdened with the paperwork. It's a job for company and government accountants. They can send the bill (or check) like any other utility, and I shall have the right to challenge it if I find any errors. Gotta make it their problem.
We already know that! We've known it for centuries. We always talk about what should be done, but we never put anybody in charge that will do it. Instead we elect carny hucksters, used car salesmen who "bring home the bacon". Really, what else do you expect under such circumstances?

Thanks Obama!
Exactly! Thanks for carrying on with the same bullshit.

Aside from the bullets, I don't give a shit about the law.

Let's trigger all the cars to slam on their brakes with the Gameboy.
The process is philosophically driven, but then how else do you acquire knowledge without waiting for a piano to fall on your head?

It seems likely it is better to close your mouth and let them think you're guilty, rather than open it and remove all doubt.
No, it really makes no difference one way or the other. If they want you, you are fucked ,the written law means squat.
They still leave the operators open to liability, and he/she has to pay attention. The vehicle is not autonomous until then. Babysitting the damn thing is not part of the deal.
Anything you don't say may also be held against you. Once you become a target, all you can do is enjoy the ride.
Without equal protection, the "rule of law" is bogus and deserves no respect, as it is just the rule of men.
Maybe that's what they want, de-Internetize the world.

We can also spy on tin-pot dictators and their minions*, both foreign and domestic.
*oh wait, that would be us!
