You got a few hundred years of torture to pay for, so probably not.
'Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."'
The names of these government organizations are infuriating. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is really about the disruption of political opposition. The Central Intelligence Agency is really about secret, dirty wars.
This shit somehow counts as insightful on Slashdot.
If you think "All lives matter", then you don't have any beef with Black Lives Matter, do you? You actually agree with them. How hard is it to see that "All lives matter" is not a rebuttal to "Black lives matter"?
Maybe women should register for the draft. They only just allowed them into combat. It's not the SJWs who are holding them back. The draft isn't in effect, so forcing women to take up 50% of the combat jobs is non-sensical.
The news here is Exxon's decades-long cover up of its own climate research. This has been a story for months, but apparently many Slashdotters were unaware.
They are pretty certain what will happen, but the timing is much less certain. Equilibrium temperatures are well understood, but the rate of warming to equilibrium is not well understood. What we do know is that we are currently well below equilibrium, meaning that many areas that are not under water now are definitely going to be. We just don't know if it will be 10 years or 100. So GPs statement was scientific.
Hillary needs to forget the Obama strategy. Obama swung as far right as he could in the general, because he knew neither McCain nor Romney would dare to move left of him. Trump will jump to the left of the Hillary in an instant if he thought it would help him. He already has on more than one issue.
You are right to some extent, but two things about Trump that appeal to a wider audience. He's against the Iraq War and job sucking trade treaties. There are huge constituencies for these positions. Neither party caters to them. These voters may overlook his racism, violence, insanity.
How about "the Iraq war was a bad idea". He was the first major candidate for either party to take that position, and therefore the first to make any sense WRT the Iraq war. It's interesting how Trump hasn't been hurt too much by taking the same position. Republican voters aren't as stupid as the Bushies think they are.
They're all crooked as the day is long except possibly Sanders, and who knows with him. Trump may not be beholden to the same moneyed assholes that the rest of the candidates are, but he never closed an honest deal in his life.

Death marched, you mean.
What about those of us who support small government, but also aren't religious?
Such folk are dancing with the devil.

Boot Grant and put Sherman on it.
Because in the '60s, a lot of Republicans weren't racist. When Nixon decided to go for white racists, plenty of white non-racists left the party.
True about the fraction, but a lot of right wingers are over armed.
The most dangerous thing about conservatives is that they think liberals aren't armed.

Let's go have a shake and talk about the holocaust.
He's certainly dumber.

NPR used to have a no ads policy. Now they have ads several times an hour, and always one congratulating themselves. It's disgraceful.

"Did you read it on a blog somewhere?"
No. What difference does it make. I admire your effort to turn slashdot into a bastion of enlightened discussion, but it's probably futile.

I'm not smart enough to know if these guys know what they are talking about.
"Slashdotter unsure if climate scientists have heard of the Sun."
Thanks for letting them know, just in case.
Slashdotter gets old, discovers kids seem dumb when he's old, but fails to maintain historical perspective. Ironic!
You are a denier if your questions have been answered but you won't listen and learn.
"Slashdotter unsure if climate scientists have heard of the weather."
Great joke. It never gets old.
They are pretty certain what will happen, but the timing is much less certain. Equilibrium temperatures are well understood, but the rate of warming to equilibrium is not well understood.

What's unscientific about it? It's a logical prediction about the future based on current trends.
Hillary needs to forget the Obama strategy. Obama swung as far right as he could in the general, because he knew neither McCain nor Romney would dare to move left of him. Trump will jump to the left of the Hillary in an instant if he thought it would help him. He already has on more than one issue.
OTOH, if a true fascist is rising in power, what means should be used to stop him?
