Or is the Higher Management unable to think in any other way because they are only laywers themselves??
I worked for a tech firm that was run by a lawyer; when the shit hit the fan during the dotcom meltdown, we found out the only ass that was covered was his. While we were scrambling to find new jobs & pay bills, he went off to head up some board filled with other cunts like himself
Also termites and suboceanic methane sinks. The latter I believe will be the runaway chain reaction that will have the biggest impact of all.
If I'm not mistaken, those suboceanic sinks (I assume you mean submerged clathrates?) will convert to CO2 as they warm and rise if they're deep underwater. But the impact to ocean acidification & oxygen depletion in seawater is an unknown of great concern.
Between fracking, livestock & warming tundra, I expect methane emissions to keep rising sharply and that will handily offset any thing we can do in the short term to limit CO2 emissions.
"try getting out of your suburb once in a while and see the city and the world" try taking your own advice before dispensing it to others. If you had & if you had a clue of history, you'd know that young people were out in the workforce, required to act responsibly, at much younger ages than now. A lot of that was detrimental but too many 1st world kids have too much wasted free time.
"We're going to need something like a huge underground lake filled with diesel. One of those for each solar farm." Solar power generation is quite predictable. Just use other power source for when it can't produce electricity.
Europe needed Americans after WWII. To avoid speaking Russian. They knew it too.
Same with Japan and the Philippines, only to avoid speaking Chinese.
That was a long time ago. The USA has done a terrible job of being Team America World Police. Pull them all out, including from the Middle East and Guantanamo Bay.
"FYI, Hispanics are not 'naturally leftist' and it's racist to make that kind of assumption" " As the Hispanic demographic is welcomed into the fold of Americans (USians??) they will settle down and their natural conservatism will manifest"
Wait a second - did the same personality write both those sentences or are the voices in your head taking turns? FYI, assuming Latinos to have a manifest natural conservatism is racist. Time will tell how the demographic shift plays out but the white American voter is being outpaced.
> Actually, the American people voted for Hillary. 65,4 million to 62,8 million.
a) You European fuck, you clearly don't know much about American elections and their rules. b) Back in 2000, Gore won the popular vote. A popular vote "loss" is meaningless.
You don't have to be an American to understand that in a democracy the guy/gal with the most votes wins and that whatever your 'electoral college' is it's not democracy if it allows the runner up to win the election. Oh, and try to come up with some more imaginative profanity.
Under the rules, it's possible for *neither* candidate to become president. The electoral college could decide to vote for someone who didn't even campaign.
"Actually, the American people voted for Hillary. 65,4 million to 62,8 million."
Latest numbers are 65.74 million Clinton; 62.90 million Trump which puts her less than 200k behind Obama 2008 and Trumplethinskin is 2 million ahead of Romney. I had no idea it takes so long to get a full count of votes in a presidential election.
"His argument is that we don't need them HERE (in the US), not that we don't need them"
And I doubt anyone *needs* the US to be in their country so time to get Americans out of all the places they're not wanted and back home where they belong.
Trump won because white men didn't look the other way, which would be a very relevant percentage. White men didn't look the other way or stay apathetic, because they were incited and angered. They were incited and angered, because some religious anti-white-male Jihad/Crusade kept insulting them, degrading them, and being condescending towards them for the past decade or more. Condescending self-righteous hate against white males turned them from quiet organisms into a "I'm throwing a brick out the window, have my middle finger all of you shits" retaliatory force. Those same collectives who are so passionate about hating white men more than the Nazis hated Jews, are now still insulting white men and wondering why the tactic of still poking them with sticks doesn't make them vote their way. And because of that unbridled, reckless, self-righteous, condescending crusade against white males, they are going to keep losing. So keep the insults going. Keep blaming white males for anything and everything. Keep degrading them. And they will decide "since i'm branded as evil in such a generalized way, i might as well abide and become".
Ah so denigrating white males is bad but Mexicans, women & black people have to keep on sucking it up. Thanks for clearing that up. And fuck you very much. FYI, the white voter is losing the demographic race; unless the GOP manages to continue their rather diligent voter suppression, several of the Solid South will be swing states in a decade.
"And, as someone else pointed out, this place doesn't create geniuses, it only collects them. Take average kids and see how much better they do here, and if they turn out geniuses, THEN you can call it a genius factory"
But when the community includes a large number of people statistically likely to be drug dealers, the police are dealing with criminals on average. Move all the blacks to New Jersey for a couple of weeks and watch how quickly NYPD behavior improves.
Drug usage is statistically much different between white & black people but arrest rates and prosecution have been dramatically different for decades. Heroin, opiates, fentanyl, meth, painkillers are cutting a broad swath through white America and nary a fucking word about them having lower IQs, inferior genetics or their deplorable family values.
I'll start trusting the NYPD if they publicly embrace Frank Serpico as one of their heroes & role models and award him the Medal of Honor, again, in a proper public ceremony
"Talking to former military, I've been told that combat soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan have stricter Rules Of Engagement than US police officers"
I believe that's correct. Also some PDs don't like former military as they will not readily shoot civilians dead as the police would like.
Compared to most Euro countries, American cops are woefully undereducated & undertrained unless you consider a frag-them-all videogame mentality as acceptable.

No, it's not. You're confusing it with OZONE

Here's something I learned in the 3rd grade:
What people want for their kids and what's good for them are often very far apart
"space dolphins becoming entangled in them and drowning"
So long and thanks for all the fishnets, you BASTARDS!!

Also America as a whole has done a piss-poor job of "welcoming" Latino immigrants

Correct. The USA has never been a "democracy" but a constitutional republic.

" it's a lamb farm where they smoke grass and suck titties till all that bs is out of their system"
So can't we shift that back to their high school years so we can get a few more productive working years out of them?

Correction, should read RATES of drug use is statistically NOT much different ........

Jeez, you're making we old Slashdotters look bad.
Just the department's own stop-and-frisk data show how very, very, very wrong you are.
