Actually, ISIS and Ebola are far more bark than bite. Putin is a serious concern, mostly because he's the same kind of paranoid dickhead as our leaders.
or are they just being racist and assuming that they are right, being protected more by the incompetence of most terrorists than their actual techniques?
Except that I'm far from alone, and more people are starting to get concerned. I think that this kind of insane bullshit is exactly what Hawking was talking about regarding aggression being a threat to humanity.
Except this windmill is one of if not the closest thing to a dragon in this world. The stupid paranoia of incompetent spies has come close on a few occasions to causing enormous damage to large chunks of human civilization as well. For the sake of species security, the spooks need to go ASAP. Fortunately, they aren't useful anymore, and their utility was pretty limited to begin with, and they were probably always a net liability.
So because I find your 'everybody's doing it' argument an insufficient justification, you suggest that I kill myself? You're certainly a champion of intellectualism.
That's a ridiculous argument, as surveillance has a chilling effect. It's not a hard restriction of freedom, but that doesn't really make a difference, and soft restrictions are easier to hide and deny.
I seem to be having trouble posting ATM, so perhaps there are some helicopters waiting to swoop me up . Pre-preemptive apologies if this all appears several times when/. gets it together.
Or, you spy in peacetime to create war. Wars usually are the results of growing internal or external tensions, and any country large enough to not be militarily curbstomped in a day has enough restraint to not launch a war without obvious precursors. Plus, spies have a long history of being massive idiots who fuck everything up, which is a good way to cause a war.

In the long run, it can definitely make Canada safer. Prohibiting this behavior means that we won't do stupid shit that will cause even more enemies.to appear. The number of threats that the Anglosphere faces that we didn't create ourselves is incredibly small.
It's not a tradeoff at all. Our intelligence agencies are likely the biggest threat to our security today. We are giving up liberty to be in more danger.
The range of information a doctor has is much more limited, and outside of perhaps ER visits, would be given to the doctor with the patient's knowledge and consent. Yes, there is a lot of trust put in hospitals and doctors, but there's also means of oversight, which military intelligence doesn't have. So, doctors have less information with more oversight and more recourse for misdeeds, and we are still seeking to improve that privacy. How is this a good point of comparison again?
And the data would seem to actually support that. There's an increase in reported suicide attempts, but not in actual suicides. The two ways of explaining it that I can think of is that teens are trying to kill themselves more, but have become less competent at it, or that teens behave the same, but are more likely to get help.
Perhaps you should read my post more clearly instead of freaking out about me using the word 'market' in a way that you think it inappropriate. I made no claim that it was a free market, and I'm not opposed to regulation. I was pointing out that his argument about progress could be flipped around for a pro-regulation argument very easily, and arguing that such a simplistic view is absolutely pointless.
So, what you are saying is that the market was stagnant for a century until Ma Bell was broken up. See, isn't it fun to draw vague generalities without an ounce of consideration for any greater context?
Hitler's literary skills probably weren't all that different from the average German/Austrian at the time, and the internet hadn't yet given such a reach to Grammar Nazis. First gen Nazis also had a shitty economy with clear oppressors to justify drastic action, while there isn't such a rallying point today.

Yeah, it's not an easy fight. It never is. That doesn't mean that we should give up like cowards, though.

TSA policies are security theater. Film at 11.

I actually have been having difficulty posting. /. incompetence or grand conspiracy?
I actually can't seem to post right now. Probably just /. issue, but I'm looking for black helicopters.
Thank you for your contribution.

or that the American government has the slightest inkling about trying to not be conspicuous.

That doesn't mean that we need to accept it, though.
And the practice being old and common says nothing about whether or not it's useful or justified.

So, you're saying that if we treat our fellow human beings like humans, they are less likely to try and murder us? That sounds ridiculous.
