  1. "Perhaps he really really really wants it to be true and is cherry picking facts like a creationist."

    Do you have any evidence for this or are you just making shit up?

    "Considering all the propaganda and groupthink activism out there now," half of slashdot seems to be convinced that anyone who complains of sexism is an attention hogging troll. By your logic, we should all discount anyone who is criticizes social justice movements.

  2. Re:How do we tolerate this? on North Korea's Satellite Tumbling In Orbit · · Score: 1

    The missile test was not a violation of the deal.

    It was exactly such a deal that kept Plutonium in North Korea sealed for so many years, until George Bush in his infinite wisdom scuttled it. The broke the seals and had a working bomb in months.

  3. Re:Its not the actual bomb, its the threat on North Korea's Satellite Tumbling In Orbit · · Score: 1

    Would let us? There's no "let". If China doesn't want us nuking North Korea, they have to make sure North Korea doesn't drop a nuke on us.

    I lot of these guys would rather have a Rubio than Sanders.

    And they only did it that way so they could like they opposed it later.

  6. You know it's bad when old folks say the kids have strange ideas and will screw everything up.

  7. Old guy to kids: you're all a bunch of whiny losers who will ruin everything. Why, back in my day ...

    They were probably nice to a woman once, or banned someone for acting like a total douche.

    This is true, but they are getting better at not tripping the plants.

  11. Re:So, creative people don't deserve to get paid? on Pirates Finding It Harder To Crack New PC Games (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    No, creative people don't deserve to get paid. If there were not multi-billion dollar market for each of movies, games, books, the world would keep spinning. Civilization would not collapse. We would even still have some books, movies and games. Whether we want to maintain these markets is a fair question, but it's not a moral issue.

    I can't believe that horrible show is still on the air.

    What's sad is that so many need these codes to remind them to act civil. If you're smart enough to contribute to FreeBSD, you should be smart enough to not act like an asshole.

    You're sort of right, but the push back against these guys needs to be non-stop.

    5 out of hundreds of mass shootings over the years? The solution isn't adequate, to say the least.

  17. Many shootings occur in what Right Wing media tells you are gun free zones, but aren't. The shooting at the community college in Oregon being the most recent example.

    They don't get to carry them around on base because the army understands that having everyone carry guns around is a recipe for more shootings, not less.
