When the "minority" is a made up group that experiences "micro-aggressions" and uses those imagined slights and offenses as group think to silence anyone they don't like, then yeah, the minority does win, every time. And it isn't always about diversity, it is about promoting cultural changes that benefit only the minority at the expense of everyone else. To the point of, you can't even write a well reasoned, well researched article of dissent without being fired for offending people with the truth.
I'm actually against the government having any kind of that kind of power. Period. Call it Libertarianism. 4th Amendment was shredded a long time ago, and now is just being shit and urinated upon by everyone. I'm probably more staunch against spying than most liberals are. After all they seem to be enjoying the spying we did on Trump.
Lets hide facts, then the Alt-Right (or whatever) won't be able to use them.
THEN, when some Alt-right guy finds the actual facts, and builds a racist case based on the "system hiding facts" as "proof" of some conspiracy (which is in fact a true conspiracy) he can use all of those actual facts that you wanted to hide as evidence of racial superiority, and recruitment goes through the roof as real facts aren't countered by alternative reasons because they are politically incorrect facts that were hidden.
OR, you know, admit the facts, when they are bad for your cause, because hiding the truth never works out as intended.
When a government can give you anything you want, it can take everything you have.
The bigger the government, the more it assumes power unto itself. And the more power it assumes, the less power the governed actually have. And Obama was one of the worst in history, but since he was well loved by the world elites, and the politically correct crowd, they didn't care about surveiling his own citizens. (yes, GWB was bad, patriot act bad)
analysis of 2,000 communities by a market research company, in 147 out of 150 of the biggest cities in the U.S., the median full-time salaries of young women are 8% higher
The thing about a real market economy, is that if you could end up paying women whatever % less than men, you'd hire more women, everything else being equal.
The problem is, not everything else is equal. Women will forgo wage increases to stay closer to home, with the kids, during the 18 years or so it takes to raise them to adulthood. That has profound long term effects on wages. BTW, Stay at home dads suffer just as much, but get no sympathy from the Feminists.
This isn't about equality, this is about "feelings" about equality. After all, if you're against "wage fairness" you're obviously a misogynist" who hates women. Facts don't matter.
How about deliberately ignored warnings about security problems with the speculative methods they used?
Because, if anyone warned about potential problems (they did) and Intel knew about it (they had to have known) and ignored the warnings (they did) then it becomes willful. They didn't have to plant the problem, all they had to do was ignore the warnings.
Or as I keep telling my boss, security is paramount, usability is not. This doesn't mean you can ignore usability, it is that it isn't prime factor in deciding anything. Passwords can be a pain in the ass, but not having them is worse.
Exactly this. The "no true Scotsman" argument. Except, we have a new modern version called Venezuela which raised the praises of Bernie Sanders when all was "good". "“These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Venezuela ”"
Now, that doesn't represent socialism at all, because it has failed, and people are literally starving to death because of the policies of governance that caused people to stop producing because success is punished.
It isn't the security that is the problem, it is that we accept, blindly, that people are who they say they are. Until we assign fraud back to the lenders, credit providers, and the aggregators of such information, and not the individuals who are being spoofed by hacks such as this, we won't actually solve the problem.
I didn't say "Trump", I said "Americans". And there is plenty of evidence out there, from James Clapper lying to congress, to James Rosen being spied upon.
False dichotomy is false dichotomy. Rape victims don't care how "attractive" their rapist is. I'd rather not be raped. Period. There is no alternative that is acceptable.
Your reasoning could equally be used to disbelieve the (roughly) spherical earth theory because that's a consensus.
I can actually prove the spherical shape of the earth. The consensus that the earth is flat was put to rest by proofs of otherwise. That's how science actually works. It demands proof and reproducibility. Something that has completely escaped your analysis.
Whenever I see "scientific consensus" I see someone who doesn't know what Science actually is. There is no consensus in science. Science doesn't require consensus, it requires testing and verification. Piltdown Man was once "Scientific Consensus" and we know how that turned out.
Would that be thee conscience of spying on Americans for political reasons, or working for DJT administration?
I know plenty of people who find spying on Americans okay, but only because it was Obama doing it on Trump. I'm sure if the hypocritical roles were reversed, they would be OUTRAGED!!!!
The whole idea is stupid. I could hack around that in about 30 seconds of trying.
You want to go to BigBoxCo
Option 1: "Take me to BigBoxCo", but it makes one stop at McDonalds and waits 15 minutes there.
Option 2 : "Take me to McDonalds". And when you get there, "Take me to BigBoxCo" (no wait)
Option 3: "Take me to BigBoxCo", stops at McDonalds, you and your friend get out and get into the next car "Take me to BigBoxCo", meanwhile useless car is useless for 15 minutes, waiting for you to come back.
The real way to do it is to put a big screen TV in it, and play ads for the duration of the trip. You could even do games (for a fee) while en route. Play against the car next to you.
If the Dossier was the basis for the FISA court warrant, and there is provably false information in the Dossier (there is) and the FBI was in league with the Fusion GPS, along with the Justice Dept (they both were) then the whole thing is tainted. Period.
The only people who don't see the taint are all die hard Trump Haters who would believe anything to get Trump impeached.
Look, I'm not a fan of Trump, didn't vote for him. But I can see the absolute nature of the Deep State in play here. And that is what scares me more than Trump Presidency. Because if the Deep state wins, then NOBODY is safe, and welcome to the People's Republic of North America, where the Clintons rule like the Kims.
Without FDA approval, a vitamin Manufacturer cannot claim to treat any illness. Because only an FDA approved "drug" can make such claims, by law. This is the same reason Walnuts cannot claim to any specific health benefits, even though there is all sorts of documentation showing benefits exist. They have to claim the nebulous "heart healthy", rather than specified (and proven) benefits.
Nellie Ohr, wife of Obama Justice Dept official Bruce Ohr worked at Fusion GPS, the firm behind the fake dossier built on Russian counter intelligence and paid for by Clinton campaign and the DNC. That is more collusion than Mueller's been able to find. But then again, he isn't looking for collusion any more (there wasn't any), he's looking for spend Millions of dollars trying to find some other crime Trump or his associates committed.
So far, they have Flynn admitting to lying. And one indictment on stuff that happened LONG before Trump even announced.
The Fake Dossier is the poisoned tree that will free anyone who actually might be guilty, because without it, there is no FISA court warrant that started it all.

his conclusions are wrong
Conclusions are ... not facts, they are opinions. His opinions are wrong, so he must be fired for wrongthink!
I'm not the one suggesting skin color has any effect on liberty, you are. Nice racism you have there buddy.

You mean, liberal elite Bay Area is ... behind the times? GASP NOOOOOOO
It isn't even a real problem.

Never is. It is always something else.
aren't real communists

But this is done by design and will never change.
I didn't say "Trump", I said "Americans". And there is plenty of evidence out there, from James Clapper lying to congress, to James Rosen being spied upon.
But why ruin your narrative with facts.
False dichotomy is false dichotomy. Rape victims don't care how "attractive" their rapist is. I'd rather not be raped. Period. There is no alternative that is acceptable.

Nice job proving my point, inadvertently.
I don't think it's ok either way, but
Everything after that is exactly why it is is a problem. There is no "but". It should have been "period".
The fact that Obama actually DID it is reason enough for it to NEVER be "butt", and always be "period".
if it absolutely had to happen
What was the "absolutely had to happen" reason for spying on American Reporters? I'm still waiting for any explanation that doesn't stink.
Whenever I see "scientific consensus" I see someone who doesn't know what Science actually is. There is no consensus in science. Science doesn't require consensus, it requires testing and verification. Piltdown Man was once "Scientific Consensus" and we know how that turned out.

I haven't heard of anything in it that's been disproven.
Guilty until Proven Innocent then eh?
That, and they have actually falsified a number of bits in the Dossier.
Without FDA approval, a vitamin Manufacturer cannot claim to treat any illness. Because only an FDA approved "drug" can make such claims, by law. This is the same reason Walnuts cannot claim to any specific health benefits, even though there is all sorts of documentation showing benefits exist. They have to claim the nebulous "heart healthy", rather than specified (and proven) benefits.
There is no sanity in the FDA laws.
I suspect there was some collusion
Nellie Ohr, wife of Obama Justice Dept official Bruce Ohr worked at Fusion GPS, the firm behind the fake dossier built on Russian counter intelligence and paid for by Clinton campaign and the DNC. That is more collusion than Mueller's been able to find. But then again, he isn't looking for collusion any more (there wasn't any), he's looking for spend Millions of dollars trying to find some other crime Trump or his associates committed.

No, but I hear you're interested in beach front property in Arizona.
