Hate Speech is still free speech, There is no constitutional or moral distinction.
Courts have struggled to find what cannot be permissible and it boils down to:
1. Directly inciting violence. "Kill now."
2. Deliberately causing a panic. Example: Falsely crying fire.
3. And, it was, for a long while, extended to pornography.
Hate speech means what? Saying that supporters of capitalism and the free market are fascist and therefore should be ostracized and beaten. I think ANTIFA are, at best, ignorant fools and at worst evil fuks alongside the Maoist Cultural Revolutionaries and the Khmer Rouge fanatics. *I* think they're hateful. Should ANTIFA be deplatformed? No?
One cannot eliminate "hate speech" and still have free speech.
And - you don't associate pomo with socialism? Really?
If a skeptical system (their is no truth, nor reason, no logic) all skews in one direction then... what are to think about it?
A truly skeptical system would have some promoting, feudalism, some promoting monarchy, some promoting a meritocracy, some capitalism, some... but that's not we see. We see close to a 100% association with socialism,
Now, that is strange. Millions of people all generally selecting one option... and all of them deny the validity of reason and logic.
Really you dumb fuk? You haven't heard about this before? You haven't heard of Tommy Robinson who was put into prison? If you really haven't heard about this ish before you need to take your head out of your a$$.
Government agencies from San Francisco to Stockholm to Berlin to London have had issues and have covered it up. Not all the rape and crime issues are the same. It's the silencing of reporting that counts.
Absolutely. A pro-reason education is useful. A post-modern "there-is-no-truth-only-competing-power-structures" simply has to go. It's a foolish philosophy (that had interesting and thoughtful roots) that became an tool for indoctrination.
History can be very interesting. For instance, the development of technology, and mathematical notation, (algebra, before the middle of the 17th C was written out in complete sentences.) This information is a fun and useful addition to ones appreciation of the world and beauty around us.
"Learning" that math, and the use of reason, just "perpetuates-the tyrannical-patriarchal-colonialism-of-the existing-power-structure" does what? First it's foolishness to say that we can't know anything. And secondly knowledge of a particular physical structure (say the existence of elements and atoms, and how these atoms interact with each other) does not promote the effing "patriarchy."
Interesting how areas with the most legal guns have lower gun crime than gun free zones.
Interesting also how predictions of rising gun deaths post liberalization of the gun laws are not matched by the statistics.
Do you change your mind as a result of your incorrect hypotheses? Nah. You double down on the bullsh!t in the hopes of convincing the ignorant and stirring up outrage in your flock.
Absolutely. The same techniques developed for China will be used elsewhere (including the United States and Europe).
It's time to use less Google products.
I use Brave browser as opposed to Chrome. It's OK.
And use DuckDuckGo and Bing as much as possible. (both suck compared to Google.)
I use ProtonMail for my primary email - as opposed to gmail. I like it so far.
Now how to get away from Google Drive?;-( That's a problem
This solution to limit the mosquito population is not a poison. You don't "get immune" or "build up tolerance" when mating with a sterile partner. Mate with a sterile partner and you will not produce a child.
Now, if the females would somehow be able to discern between sterile and potent mates then the experiment would begin to fail.
As an atheist I hate any forced religion. Oh. You mean any criticisms of Islam?
The next worldwide human rights issue will be being able to leave your religion (apostasy) without fear of death. The UN's resolution has been vetoes by Islamic states since the 1980s.
The GOP hates blacks and asians? You mean you haven't heard of
Nicki Halley, two term SC governor and current UN representative?
Bobby Jindal, two term LA governor
Susana Martinez, two term NM governor
Brian Sandoval, NV governor
Marco Rubio, FL Senator
Ted Cruz, TX Senator
Tim Scott, SC Senator
and many others too long to list?
Re conservative? Of course the GOP backs social conservatives, free market types, libertarians, etc... the same way that the Democratic Party supports labor and progressive types. Duhhh. What else is a political party supposed to do?
The millennials are turning out to be libertarian not socialistic; individualistic not conformist. Millennials will sound the death knell to the hysteria among the left now - and the Republicans have been turning Libertarian and away from Social Conservatives. As of 2008 1/2 the Republicans / Conservatives under 30 were OK with gay marriage. Now, ten years later, it's pretty close to half the Republican party.
That battle has been won. But that's not a good thing to Progressives as one must be outraged at all costs.
The American Left is going through it's Communist Cultural Revolution (as the Chinese did in the 1960s). They've jumped the shark and millennials are not going to save them. Nope. Millennials are going to bury them.
There's a difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration.
There's a difference between legal immigration, migration and open borders.
Few are opposed to legal immigration.
Immigrants, if they are truly that (as opposed to migrants), must conform and accept the norms of their new adopted country. Wanting to "Make America Mexico Again" begs the question of why you are here (in the US) and why you left Mexico in the first place.
The same holds true for Turkish, Libyan and other European immigrants.
Going to a new place and demanding that they conform to your norms is not immigration.
Ha. Our species would adapt. It would not be the end of human existence. But just because it wouldn't mean the end of human existence doesn't mean that we shouldn't work hard to find carbon free energy sources and find ways to sequester carbon.
Your ridiculous reply shows that you are part of the problem.
No. Just no. First of all there are disruptive forces all the time in dynamic economies. Second of all it's not as if there will be zero use for oil. It's used for roads, roofing materials, plastics... AFAIK 25% of oil is used for these purposes. This need will continue.
Is this a science site or is this CNN? (Yeah, I know that the quality of this site has gone way down. I'm just lamenting the change).
It's like being surprised that total population is still rising even though birth rates are plummeting.
Solar power is growing at exponential rates. And, just because last year set a record doesn't mean that fossil fuels did not also increase.
What we do know is - if this rate of growth continues for another 30-40 years we will be living in a world which does not consume fossil fuels. (Yes there will still be some use of fossil fuels.) And, of course, there will still be need for oil for plastics, medicine, etc...
You must be mistaking pro-Constitution people with Antifa and other utopian socialists,
The second amendment is for self protection; to not be helpless is the face of tyranny. It has never been for the the annihilation of those you disagree with. Most 2nd Amendment folks are very strong proponents of the First Amendment - something that Antifa and their whiny supporters abhor.
WTF are you talking about. Which American interests?
You do realize there are a lot of Americans who are disgusted with Google's manipulation of SE results; or demonetizing YouTube videos of people who don't pass their ideological filter.
Google is quickly getting to the point that it has no friends anywhere. Their "Do No Evil" slogan will come back to haunt them.
Many places in Brooklyn (hipster central) there are 3 or 4 veggies places on the walk home from the train (or with a very short detour.) I buy veggies and fruit every couple days with zero effort.
There's a guy outside of Trader Joes selling fruits, there are three more veggie places before getting home, and grocery and bread stores (and other veggy places) within a two block detour.
There's zero effort in getting fresh vegetables in hipster areas.
other areas are a little more difficult - but not that difficult (having lived there).
Really? It wasn't "Christian" land in the 4th C when Constantine converted (312) or when Christianity became the state religion (380)? It stayed Christian until 637 when Caliph Umar went there to accept the surrender.
So, what do you mean when you say it "never" was Christian land?
This is a complex story and it doesn't help when misinformation is blithely tossed around. Saying Jerusalem was never Christian is like saying the earth is flat.
Maybe you need to read more about warfare of the time.
Cities were sacked if they put up resistance, sometimes cities were sacked because of anger, lack of pay, insults. Rome was sacked by Spanish Christians in the 1520s.
The Crusades were about many things. The key thing was to reclaim Jerusalem; to open pilgramage routes there.
Runciman's History of the Crusades is a great place to start. The one weakness in his writing is that he discounted religion (ie ideas that help form ones world view) in his account.
Whatever the case the "wholesale" murder committed by the Crusaders were no different than what these same men did in their own lands; or what Islamic armies did to each other; or what Japanese armies did to themselves; and lets not forget about the wars in South Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

I haven't vetted these articles. It just shows that if you were at all paying attention you would have seen this.
What's as disturbing as the physical violence is the coordinated news blackout. This is horrible. Not discussing a problem doesn't make it go away.
Absolutely. A pro-reason education is useful. A post-modern "there-is-no-truth-only-competing-power-structures" simply has to go. It's a foolish philosophy (that had interesting and thoughtful roots) that became an tool for indoctrination.

As a NYer I hate paper bags because roaches love them.
And I love plastic bags from the store because I put my garbage in them and each time I leave the apartment I throw out my trash.
This is far superior to reusable bags in which I must then BUY plastic garbage bags. Now that's retarded.
Impeach for what?
He's a blowhard. But that is not an impeachable offense.
Oh, you mean the "nothing burger" that CNN and others are still trying to ram down people's throats. Yeah. Keep waiting for Godot.
And even if he was anti-semitic, racist, xenophobic and homophobic those are not an impeachable offenses.

Heating food allows us to absorb more calories from said food. It allows us to eat foods (grains) that would otherwise be indigestible.
