Oh come now. We all know that everything even remotely bad or that could be described as "evil" originated in the US. The CIA somehow managed to convince a few people that it was all started by some Brit but those of us in the know will never be hoodwinked.
And that statement pretty much sums at least half the problems of society today. "Some woman"... Maybe if men and women were a bit more discriminating (old-fashioned) about their partners and waited until they had settled into committed relationships they plan to stay in before copulating, then it wouldn't be just "some woman." If you think you are in that type of relationship and still refer to her as "some woman", then you are not, in reality, in that type of relationship.
And, yes, parents should be doing everything they can to help their children while stopping at harming anyone else's.
I think you mean highly poisonous to an extremely small portion of society as only an extremely small portion of society is deathly allergic to peanuts.
So you work at a place that regulates what the kids do outside of school because they might cause a problem for one of the students when they return? Sounds pretty damned f'ed up to me.
How about a return to the days of staying out of society if being in society is so harmful to you instead of demanding that the rest of the population conform to your special situation.
Probably because some of those tag-like games involve small amounts of "bullying" behavior and is a safe way for everybody to get it out of their systems.
So you, personally, have performed every experiment ever done? Or are you trusting (having faith) that somebody a bit smarter and/or with more resources than you has done so and not lied to you?
So is it the private or government run systems that are doing better. You mention electricity was better as a government run entity but that telecom was better as a private entity. Or do you not understand the meaning of big-words such as "nationalized"?
Yup, us right-wingers are all about keeping little Johnnie from reading Huck Finn because of the usage of the word "nigger". Sorry, but this craziness is a two-way street in real life.
Yes, yes we have. Many people, even here on Slashdot, would rather see people starve or suffer from malnutrition instead of having them eat certain foods that they have no reason to believe are harmful in any way except they have deemed them as "unnatural."
Much the same way that we, as a society, decided that we would rather see millions of those darker folks die from Malaria just so we can pretend to care about the birds that were not being harmed (as proven by the EPA study) by a certain pesticide.
Yep, GM food is destroying and polluting the environment. So is fertilizing with anything other than letting the cows eat half your crop so they can fertilize it for you.
You are replying to something that was not stated. Your parent post was pointing out the difference between tainted as in proven harmful and "tainted" as in scaremongering. The article and the rest of the discussion (at least this portion) is about the validity of the argument against GM foods.
Making up some BS about somebody having to buy every product for sale somewhere on earth unless they can prove it harmful in some way pretty much proves that you have no actual argument against GM foods other than you don't like them because they are scary to you.
And the China today is simply an extension of the Ming dynasty, right?
Civilization may have existed in China for that long, but it has not been a continuous civilization in the sense you are portraying and not even close to a continuous empire.
Not for listening to music and promoting ideas. They clamped down on them for actually engaging in espionage and terrorism (blowing stuff up, murdering people, robbing banks, etc.)

Here is my vote for what needs fixing...
Freeloading thieves get to spend some time isolated from the rest of society.

If it gets to that point, any country that objects is free to have the UN send up a few "peacekeepers" to stop it.
Because Sochi is where Putin likes to hang out.

Since when is "to be" not considered a verb?

some bigotry? that's the understatement of the century.
says someone who has probably never actually talked to a Mormon.
So sue them for all the harm caused by someone possibly knowing what your favorite overpriced beverage is.
Closing at 1 pm on a Tuesday is not "normal business hours" in the US.
Oh, if only that same logic applied to all the various Article, Sections, Clauses and Amendments.

Exactly. Institutional racism means "I can be as lazy as I want cuz whitey...."

Two words: bull and shit.
Show me a single congressman (house or senate) that left "public service" poorer than they started.

Very much depends on the product. Many manufacturers sell many models of stuff that are not available in Cali.
