  1. Which means, they have their transponders on, and ATC knows what they are up to.

    My problem with this, is our government seems to think it is free to do what it wants. It does not.

    My bigger problem with this, is that the people more or less believe that we don't have a choice in our government's activities. We live in a defacto surveilence state, mainly because we accept it as "normal". We are in a tyranny of security, because we are not longer the land of the free, home of the brave. Especially when the presence of chalk is cause for panic among the snowflakes attending college.

    The difference between a "joint checking" and separated accounts is merely a formality and not one of any real significance. Pretending it is enough separation is functionally idiotic.

    None of her emails were "MARKED" classified. Markings of themselves does not make the emails classified or not. But hey, keep parroting irrelevant information as that always works.

    Classifications are well established, and Clinton was informed on her duty (as in responsibility) to maintain secrecy. You should actually read the NDA Clinton actually signed, which is fairly clear on what her responsibilities and duties were. She has breached that NDA by all reasonable measures. Of course, partisan democrats will support her all the way to conviction, and probably beyond.

    Markings are irrelevant. Some information was "classified" on creation. You keep repeating this line as if it matters, it does not.

    Her server was not a "government server" which means it had LESS protection, not more. Again, relevant to the story because it was also likely compromised. We don't know if it was, because it was destroyed, in a clear attempt to avoid transparency. But hey, if you're okay with it it must be okay!

    Unfortunately you've been bitten by the progressive non-scientific but called Gender Neutrality which views both genders as being the same in all areas, and blaming of culture for corrupting them into gender stereotypes. Here is some scientific articles that you won't read that explain why you are not correct.

    The problem is, that we tend to take the outlier as the rule, when trying to break norms. We should accept that norms are those for a reason, while not excluding those that are outside those norms. There will be girls who like trucks, and boys that like dolls. Blaming stereotypes solves nothing and doesn't actually progress understanding.

    Yeah, because discussing the nature of Hilary's insecure email with a shit-tonne of classified and beyond emails is partisan. But Bernie has decreed it, "enough" and that isn't partisan. Got it.

  8. Wow. The ONLY person I see advocating gassing of Mexicans is you. I realize that you're trying to make some sort of snarky comment on Trump, but how would you feel if I said "Kill all the babies" in response to Hillary's Abortion stance?

    Yeah the difference is that Hillary has said she supports killing unborn babies (as she calls them), while Trump hasn't said anything close to "Gas the Mexicans".

    Pick on Trump all you want, but make sure it is something real, not imaginary.

    Incorrect. It's more of an institutional problem. ... it's just a legacy of millennia of history.

    Actually, it isn't an institutional problem. It is a Gender difference problem. It is why girls tend to prefer dolls to trucks, and boys tend to prefer trucks to dolls. It doesn't have to do with social norms and other bullshit ideas. The fact is, boys/men are different from girls/women. While there are exceptions to gender preferences, we see those show up in these stats, girls/women don't prefer STEM courses, and boys/men do not prefer teaching kindergarten, but there are some who do.

    The great thing about America, which the SJW can't seem to wrap their heads around, is that we are Free to choose, rather be imposed upon by SJW ideals. At least for now. The fact is, "Norms" are that way for a reason, something that obviously offends SJWs to no end.
