    Also I don't see anything from the Hudson review or WSJ in your comment. You linked a Time cover that doesn't agree with you. You linked the Cato Institute, a think tank founded by a Koch. I don't really care about your theory, especially since you seem unable to present any reliable information on it.

    You cited it further down in the thread, but it got downmodded out of sight and I still wanted to get points for picking on you. It's all under the umbrella of your batshit, and baby I got that point.

  11. Right? Or any number of measures. I don't know how much power the NSA can bring to bear on this issue but as far as I'm aware the actual policy makers have less than an inkling of how any of this shit works in the first place.

  12. I would assume an assuredly assiduous ascertation of "assent" vs. "ascent" before asserting as such. But that's just my 2 cents.

    Calm down, it's a perfectly valid reference to make. There should be a new term for you, the people that start chirping Godwin like a stuck record whenever you can. I don't like Nazis but you're just being annoying.

  17. Here's another perspective: the "invented" problems you're whining about are real, and are really the result of people very much like you who assumed that they could pretty much do whatever they wanted and have all the cake, forever. People who did not care about the ill effects of their industries, the commercialization of American culture, or the privatization of our government, and now surprise surprise are handwaving away these issues as some kind of weakness on the part of those suffering. You're criticizing responsibility and human wellbeing. Grow the fuck up.

    Civil cases have juries. Unless both parties waive the right. And I fail to see how the LA comptroller cutting a check addresses the systemic abuses found in many American police organizations. Indivudual convictions is exactly how you stop that.

    That's not true. Juries rarely convict cops, eapecially white juries, especially when the officer involved was on duty. You seem like one of those people who thinks court proceedings are about the rule of law and not about 2 highly trained parties attempting to manipulate the opinion of average citizens to see who "wins".

    (I'm the GP) It's definitely a WoW clone, but I still like it. I played vanilla WoW until Burning Crusade came out, and it was one of the best times I've had in any game ever. At the end of the day (figuratively and literally), I'm playing it to waste time and veg out a bit. I'm a lifelong FF fan, and it's legitimately satisfying just to dick around and run errands in a world that evokes the feeling of one of the older SNES/NES titles (I wish they'd just release a proper single player turn based FF like this, but I've given up hope at this point).

    I see where you're coming from, but disagree that the AP is reporting irresponsibly in your example. To include what you're suggesting in the article would be very clumsy, and result in a huge portion of the article being used to summarize a decades-old conflict that anyone with interest in the headline would already know of. Moreover, I would say that including that information would risk mischaracterizing things as they actually are to the uninformed. Taiwan has an on-paper claim to mainland China, but the chance of that happening vs. the chance of China exerting its influence over the island of Taiwan is so vast a difference that the first one isn't worth reporting, and could result in someone perceiving the two parties as being equal in size and stature.

    I dom't watch either, but my initial searches are showing CNN to be overwhelmingly more reliable and factual than fox news, like 4:1. Can they honestly be compared? Genuinely asking, personally I trust AP articles and that's about it.

    With which I agree. Large pocket tech and the ability to implement it on this platform has existed for years and would be utilized if actually desired. I would also say that poorly stated, vague, and myopic criticisms tend to be best used as a source of comedy and merriment, as I have clearly done.
