Obama recently visited the UK, and urged us to remain in the EU, citing international agreements such as the TTIP and pointing out that if we left we'd no longer be a part of them.
Best reason to leave the EU, ever!
Yeah but can you imagine scameron and his tory mates with no oversight? We'd be worse off than the victorians!
TTIP would put corporations at the center of policy-making, to the detriment of environment and public health."
Yes. The trade partnership agreement will see corporations at the center of policy making... not like what we have now.
It just gives them a seat at the table rather than having to bother with all that expensive lobbying and bribery, which are of course, barriers to trade.
Lemme see, the same jerks who scared everybody away from nuclear power,and thereby killed us with global warming want to tell us more bull crap
Bullshit claim aside this attitude is the problem. Who gives a shit if we poison and destroy the world and by extension ourselves as long as we can make shit cheaper to make and more expensive to sell? Who gives a shit about the plebs who live in the shadow of our unregulated facilities that can do whatever the fuck they like? Going back to your bullshit example, nuclear power is perfectly fine if done properly, but doing it properly is expensive and threatens the bottom line if they have to worry about not radiating everything and disposing of the waste in a safe and sustainable way. The costs of that is why nuclear power dwindled, because it's cheaper with more profit to do it the old shit way.
It wouldn't be beyond the real of possibility if someone made up at least some data, put it into some other pages of information and then leaked it to a group that's desperate for attention and donations.
I'd be more worried about why the negotiations are in secret and why they don't want anyone who basically isn't actively involved or stands to profit from it to even see the thing than some charity trying to grab attention. The one trying to avoid attention is usually more worthy of it than he who seeks.
...and a single drone strike in NK could solve much of the world's conflict.
In what possible way? How would killing the NK leadership affect conflict in Africa, Eastern Europe, Ukraine and any other place there is actual conflict. Apart from the Korean peninsula where all the conflict of the last 60 odd years has been bluster and rhetoric of the losing side locking down and pretending to themselves they won?
Nope. You're thinking of authoritarian. Left wing, by actual definition, refers to political groups favouring liberal, progressive or radical views or political reform. North Korea doesn't allow for "wings" per se, but it is firmly opposed to all those principles.
On what fucking planet can you have leftist policies without imposing them via authoritarian means? Or do you really think it's NOT authoritarian in any way to FORCE a devout Christian baker to make a cake for a gay marriage? How is it NOT authoritarian to FORCE 9-year-old girls to share a bathroom with a 35-year-old self-styled "trans" MAN WITH A PENIS
Oh, no. That's not AUTHORITARIAN at all.
Oh, right. Your planet is in the Andromeda galaxy.
Your baker should fuck off opening a shop catering to the public if he's going to be a dick about it, hopefully he also refuses those with tattoos, those who eat shellfish, meat on a friday or wear clothes of mixed fabrics if he is so devout. According to the bible those are all as abominable as homosexuality, actually, are there different levels of abomination that maybe you are aware of that on one else is? Or he should do the Jesus thing and turn the other cheek. Oh, and stop forcing your 9 year old to share the cubicle with other toilet users, that's not what they meant, the communal areas of bathrooms are usually genital free regardless.
And there is a risk that everything you have heard about North Korea is wrong, that all information you have about it just is propaganda so that you won't see what real freedom is like.
If you go to North Korea as a tourist, how do you know that you aren't led into a fake city setup in South Korea to make North Korea look like a dictatorship?
The analogy still holds, Andromeda is gluten free enough.
If North Korea was even remotely free there would be more than one way in on a tourist trip that still makes the place look like shit. There would probably be North Koreans all over the place going on about how good it is back home. Also they wouldn't have a dead man as eternal president for ever.

That was obviously not a real suggestion but sure, let's take it to conclusion. Increased risk of sunburn = increased risk of skin cancer. Also red hair is a leading cause of bullying into schools leading to low self confidence and potential for self harm and/or suicide or worse. Plenty of reasons for the think of the.... types. While we're at it, why do we continue to let such an evil, toxic substance as dihydrogen monoxide be completely unregulated and part of almost every facet of life? (http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html). If we're going to get rid of anything even possibly remotely bad for us then surely, dhmo has to be top of that list?!
No, no - there is a huge difference between having your rights violated by unjust laws, and not being able to watch Dumb and Dumber on your own terms because you don't like the way it's being made available to you.
I also agree that copyright law is broken, but since it's not violating your civil rights, then civil disobedience is not the answer. Try turning off the computer or TV instead of violating someone else's intellectual property. I realize it's not going to happen, but if we, en masse, just stopped watching the absolute dreg these companies are providing at ridiculous prices and terms, then the problem would clear up really quickly without the need to violate the law.
Or if we just watch their shit anyway, they might think if we want to monetize this how about we do it properly. If they don't want people to watch who haven't paid then they should just keep it off the internet shouldn't they.
That's just bullshit all the way down. A deadly epidemic? Good one. Shall we do gingers next? Make sure no ginger gets to have kids and we can eradicate this terrible affliction in only a few generations. For the good of man kind and all that.
These people, all of them, aren't feminists in the same way as WBC aren't christians, or ISIS aren't muslims.
Nope, if someone claims to be a thing and believes they are that thing then they represent it just as much regardless of what others part of that thing do or say.
This is part of 'intersectionality' where feminism crosses over with anti 'fat-shaming' types who think it's a-ok to be 250lbs at 5'4".
When even the feminist propaganda boils down to what you look like naked then you know it's a lost cause. Women need to come to terms with the fact it's other women putting all the pressure and shame and whatever on each other.

Vote Cthulhu, why settle for the lesser evil?
The China is supposed to 'save' Apple...
Poor beleaguered Apple... Obviously a company in trouble when they are making billions of dollars a year in profit.
You know you're in trouble when you didn't make quite as an obscene amount as you did last year.
It's going to drag down to whichever side has the lowest standard for each thing.
So their great new innovation in the pipeline is.. a new iPhone.
Stick a fork in them.
Yeah, how can they survive against the next Galaxy S8 - that screams innovation.
As of yet Samsung haven't come out saying they "are going to give you things you can't live without that you just don't know you need today".
US regulations may move towards Europe's.
Haha, good one.

Even if they claim, and there actually is a 80/90% survival rate, then that still means 10/20% of people die.

The problem is the exponential increase in material required to gain any useful elevation.
The increase in material would not be exponential. It would be a quadratic function of the height.
Maybe he wants an inverted pyramid?

totally agree with this too. I will go without rather than watch ads!
Well, then pay for the ad free version or realise that the ads are what pays for it.
