To be precise, most of the people the cops plink in the US are the sort many of the rest of us are fine with them plinking, and if they plink in error it only causes outcry if the plinkee is both innocent and has a wholesome prior track record. If they are an established dirtbag then it's an enemy casualty.
Many Americans prefer that security in their zones be maintained by any force necessary.
Sikh aren't Muslim, they are among the many groups Muslims have slaughtered and oppressed through history. Sikhs have a legacy of valiant resistance to Islam.
The history of Jihadist conquest is worth remembering, as is that just because someone is "brown" and from a country ruled by Muslims doesn't mean they espouse that homicidal barbaric cult.
While the West may be grumpy about losing a few thousand dead to Jihad, the countries Islamists conquered lost vastly more.
Policing cattle rustling has been important throughout US history.
Just because it doesn't make the news and "sophisticated urbanites" don't care about it doesn't mean that it's not still a major crime problem in ranching areas.
If something belongs to ME and someone else takes it, I want them to die if necessary that I may get MY property back, and I don't care if it takes an MLRS launch on their house.
Forcible recovery of stolen cattle has ample precedent in US history.

You have to be ready to use them and go down fighting. If the issues in question aren't worth that yet, then do something different. If they are pussies, they lose. If they play Taliban and go down fighting, then they make a statement.
So are the LETTERS we type in these posts, but they are STANDARD over hundreds of years which makes them effective. It would be artsy and cute to change to a different variety of calligraphy every few years, but wouldn't do much for communication.
"Yup. This is why it seems like a waste of time to obsess over "proper" English. Words are like clothes, you mix and match and there isn't any right answer."
I don't obsess over it, but exceptionally sloppy speech is not a plus during job interviews. The purpose of speech is to communicate, and if you can only speak "trailer" or "ghetto" then I'll place you (or not) appropriately.
It's fine to be able to SWITCH between speaking styles to suit your audience. That's different than having an accent that's a self-inflicted speech impediment.
The US has the monstrous crime rates to justify it.
Because Americans have nothing much in common except location, our society is loosely bonded and subject to group competition including predation.
Not only are economic classes enemies by nature, competing cultures are enemies by nature, and nature takes its course. The US needs a police state situation in many areas to prevent anarchy. It's blashpemy to point that out, but that doesn't negate its truth.
"And I'm guessing that the majority of folks here have at least one windows box."
Er, good luck reaching my disconnected VMs from the Internet, and I already store Snapshots of my clean Windows installations so the future won't be any different.
It shouldn't. I favor US isolationism. The world doesn't deserve any attempt by the US to "help".
For example: We defeated Japan, which begat the worse Communist China. Had we left well alone, no Mao and no problem. We helped defeat the Nazis, which rescued the Soviets, and begat the Cold War which begat Jihadists etc.
The world would be better off if the Japs and Nazis had won then moderated over time.

It's not "nice" and we don't give a shit.
"Right. If the police aren't allowed to use this laser then they will have to shoot protesters. There is just no other way."
Of which practical ways do you approve? A list please.
...self-punishment. I haven't purchased anything from them other than a CD burner many years ago, and my life is no worse for it.
Vote with your wallets and your advice to others who ask "what to buy", and don't buy Sony. Ever. It's easy.

They would be, but they also drafted the Sacking Protocol.

Thank the stupid ones for self-flagging and exploit that information as you see fit.

Islam is not a "race", it's SUPERSTITION, as ridiculous as all the others.
The idea that anything not supported by science and logic is to be respected is absurd.
Superstition gives social leverage which would not otherwise exist, and is immune to correction or argument.

If they wanted modernity and growth the would reject religion. Since this is motivated BY religion, it's a self-punishing choice.
Is there a practical way to make interstitials invisible instead of blocking them?
I don't care if adverts run, I just don't want to see them.
I didn't have to get "fed up", I blocked everything I could as soon as I could.
If I want something, I seek out advertisers. If I don't, I block 'em all.
Politicians don't have empathy, they simulate it.
