  1. Sexism and Racism on VR Tested by NFL To Confront Sexism and Racism (usatoday.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Calling an opponent a sexist or a racist are sure fire ways to ostracize them and shut them up. Ironic the left is so opposed to bullying then bullies people it disagrees with and calls them names. We're not all the same but deserve the same opportunities, nothing more, nothing less. Stop with the name-calling.

  2. I use it to get stock quotes from Yahoo Finance and other sites.

  3. Re:Start where you can save the most on Fast-Food CEO Invests In Machines Because Regulation Makes Them Cheaper Than Employees (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    A vote for everything means nothing will get done...hard decisions to do what's best for the business will be replaced with doing what's cool or hip.

  4. You'll think differently when it takes over the world and enslaves us all...

  5. How long until the President invites him to the White House?

  6. Re:so men = better sellers on Even On eBay, Women Get Paid Less For Their Labor (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Yup, men and women and all the various races have things they are inherently better at than others. Maybe due to group think, cultural factors, genetic predisposition, etc. but it's good we're all different...now if we could just live together and accept the fact the world won't be perfectly even, we'll all be better off and we'll all be more prosperous.

  7. Re:We are returning to the dark ages. on Twitter Tackles Terrorists In Targeted Takedown (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Tell that to the thousands of innocents killed, raped, burned, tortured, etc. Your counter argument of a dozen people killed by Christians is legit but in no way comparable to the horrors the muslims inflict on the world.

  8. Re:We are returning to the dark ages. on Twitter Tackles Terrorists In Targeted Takedown (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    While there are plenty of muslim and Christian crackpots,o only the muslims kill, torture, rape, burn, etc. women and children indiscriminately.

  9. Next, the ISPs will develop a Raspberry PI device that can automatically do nothing in response to the flood of these automated tweets...and the cycle continues...

  10. Re:"It get's worse?" on TSA: Gun Discoveries In Baggage Up 20% In 2015 Over 2014 (networkworld.com) · · Score: 0

    Neither are guns. Target shooting, skeet, trap, sporting clays, etc. are all very popular.

  11. Re:"It get's worse?" on TSA: Gun Discoveries In Baggage Up 20% In 2015 Over 2014 (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    In 2012 over 3,300 people died in accidents but that doesn't fit the left's narrative so it's ignored. If someone's killed with a knife the left will proclaim that's bad, a killing with a car will be met with the proclamation of "how horrible", but a killing where a gun is involved will end with the call to ban all guns. Doesn't make sense and it's due to a lack of understanding and fear of the unknown. http://www.cdc.gov/Motorvehicl...

  12. Re:no-delete isn't terrifying on Twitter To Revive Politwoops, Archive of Politicians' Deleted Tweets (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Tell that to Hillary who hires the first person who can spell "I-T" to manage her server.

  13. Re:It's an anti-trump play on Twitter To Revive Politwoops, Archive of Politicians' Deleted Tweets (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly what I was going to say...Twitter is playing it both ways to help their side. Awfully shady...

  14. Re:No Fly List Gun Bans? WTF??????? on GunTV Aims To Premier 24-Hour Shopping Channel For Firearms · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, in a world Twitter and Facebook rule the news in, the masses are stupid...r really, they are informed only by a liberal media so that skews everything to the ridiculous left agenda/point-of-view.

  15. Re:BombTV on GunTV Aims To Premier 24-Hour Shopping Channel For Firearms · · Score: 1

    Really? Are bombs and WMDs in the Bill of Rights? Didn't think so...

  16. Mass shootings are most likely caused by either people who feel they have no other options or by people with some agenda. I tend to think the majority of shooting are due to the former. Banning guns only works if criminals follow laws which we know they don't simply due to them being criminals. So sick of all the "guns are bad" rhetoric...the problem are the people who use guns for evil. Ban cell phones and automobiles if you want to save lives but we all know Democrats don't care about lives (e.g. abortion).

  17. Re:Oh the Irony..... on Donald Trump: America Should Consider "Closing the Internet Up In Some Way" (dailydot.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...and the democrats want to "kill the very instrument that would be most effective in de-radicalizing people" which are firearms. Free speech is much more dangerous than the freedom to posses firearms. I'm not for banning anything, but we should block hate speech or any speech associated with known or suspected terrorists. Trump is a bit of a clown but he's saying what the people want to hear so what does that tell you...that people are sick of President Obama and his nut-less administration (unless they are attacking white males or Christians).

  18. Re:"homegrown" on California Attack Has US Rethinking Strategy On Homegrown Terror (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Yup...simple really, but I wonder why President Obama won't o that and, more importantly, why Congress voted that bill down this week.

  19. Who is in charge? on New Campaign Features Internet Trolls On Roadside Billboards (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Who determines what is deemed "offensive?" Whoever that is has all the power...

  20. This is news? on Rikers Inmates Learn How To Code Without Internet Access (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    I taught myself programming before the Internet using those things we called "books", specifically, Jim Butterfield's machine language programming books for my Commodore 64.

  21. Re:So wait..... on ISIS's Hunt For a Bogus Superweapon · · Score: 1

    The US isn't perfect but tries to do what's good for her and Western civilization while the terrorists kill, maim, rape, torture, and otherwise make people's lives shorter and more horrific. Do not equate the US with terrorists (though I'm sure the responses below will try).

  22. Re:Sure Bitcoin is the root of all evel... on EU Set To Crack Down On Bitcoin and Anonymous Payments After Paris Attack (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a little harder to process cash transactions globally...possible but slower and more cumbersome.

  23. Re: Wait for it... on iOS Ad Blocker "Crystal" Will Let Companies Pay To Show You Ads · · Score: 1

    That's good to know. The ad blocker I tested wanted to install as a VPN service so I binned it.

  24. Re:Wait for it... on iOS Ad Blocker "Crystal" Will Let Companies Pay To Show You Ads · · Score: 1

    I don't trust ad blockers as they funnel web and/or other traffic through the developer's hollowed-out volcano.

    Burning someone with a torch would be considered torture.
