Let's add to the fact that the 9/11 terrorists did sound an alarm and multiple investigates we poorly underway. Stupid bureaucratic BS stalled the investigation by the FBI when the NSA passed info on to them. They knew they were suspicious but we were way too slow to respond.
Yup, and the got rid of those stupid rules that prevent agencies from knowing what other agencies known.
Which was how Chelsea Manning got her hands on all that stuff which would never have been available to someone on her level before.
Well, it's more my view on laws about discrimination. I think racial prejudice is ridiculous, but it is only someone's thoughts. Outlawing unpopular thought isn't right. I don't think the law should be able to punish people for their thoughts, which is what the current anti-discrimination laws are.
Who the fuck is talking about outlawing thought?
We're talking about outlawing behaviour
If someone sells a service they sell it for money. That's it. Allowing businesses the choice of their clientele based on something other than the ability to play is simply allowing discrimination.
You have no problem with this because you know you will never have to suffer it.
I have no respect for your "theoretical" position that has no connection with reality.
The states with the strongest military traditions are those you seem to enjoy slagging. Would you expect service-members from those states to laugh with you, or at you, when orders are issued?
Yeah, but don't worry, we'll get the guys responsible for Benghazi in another 13-14 years or so at this rate... they have to pick them up in order of their terrorist acts, of course...
Well, the guys responsible for Benghazi were the Greeks in around 525BC, so good luck gettiin them in 13-14 years.
Slashdot Mirror
"Teasing", "saying mean things", "it's not real bullying if there's no physical violence".
Do you have a problem?
How does it fit in with your sig?
"Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave."
Bullies victims tend to live in fear.
Let's hope this is the dumbest thing I see on the internet today
Turn off your computer now!
(At least stop reading slashdot).
That's funny, because I've often wished that dead tree books were keyword searchable.
Think about the origin of the word "index".
And I buy too many books. Perhaps some day more ebooks, but I feel like the ebooks should be cheaper than their dead tree equivalents.
Why? Why should ebooks be cheaper than dead trees? Are they less convienient? Do they wear out faster?

Low temperature heat is a useless source of power, unless you want it for heating your house.
Cute - fusion powered central heating.

No dogs or Irish allowed.
Although, I don't agree with the current state of anti-discrimination laws as they pertain to small business owners, so maybe that counted.
Well, as a small business owner I find your view on discrimination vile, but, like I say, I can't remember.
Nah, I appear to have re-used the tapes.
Why pay once, when you can pay twice? I think it's time to sqeeze the balls of BBC and remind them who pays their bills and salaries.
Well, you should have recorded them when they were first broadcast. :-)
(I did on this organic based VCR that I have behind my eyes).
In general I tag someone "foe" when they say something racist, or, more rarely, something particularly stupid about AGW.
In your case, I can't rember why.
Delightful, how well informed you are.
The states with the strongest military traditions are those you seem to enjoy slagging. Would you expect service-members from those states to laugh with you, or at you, when orders are issued?
Funny, that's what they said the last time.
That's not a problem with burning things, it's a problem with burning things badly.
I have a wood fire in my house. Smoke does not get in my eyes.
What of burning magnesium?
Yes, even that. You did remember to weigh the air before and after the experiment?
Yay! Phlogiston has negative mass!
Frank Whittle was a Nazi?
as far as the big environmental concerns go: it doesn't matter where fossil fuels come from, it matters how much are being burned.
Correct. Additionally: It doesn't matter that the fuel is fossil, it matters that it is burned.
Burning things is bad, mkay?
Wrong. Burning non-fossil fuel is not a problem, it does not increase the atmospheric CO2 concentration.
I know they're close, but Lockheed isn't yet officially part of the US military.
Slashdot should post Kim Kardashian's butt as a source file for my 3d printer!
[ fill in boring Slashdot memes here - hot grits, petrified and so on. In Soviet America Kim Kardashian is Nathalie Portman! ]

Nah, can't be that.
If it were, how does the Cape to Cairo railway get into the plan.
(Frankly, if there were a Cape to Cairo railway in the plan I'd be for it. I have no shame).
Hey, maybe he's a bad guy, but at least he's not Henry Kissinger.
(yes, the "peace prize" is a joke. This is not news. The "economics" prize is a joke too, Suck on it),
Pakistani generals in Libya? Please explain.
So, in conclusion, I am glad there are chat rooms now that are lesbian free. It's just more natural that way.
Well, you won the internets for today.
This report is probably the most accurate one you're going to get: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-24420767
Uh, that's a DOD press release, and it confirms everything that Al-Shaabab said.
No I don't.
