Its as simple as halting creepy anti-social, anti-democratic, and anti-freedom police state activities, lying about them, and justifying it with how much you hate/think lowly of the general population, and how you'll easily get away with it.
Then mabey the people who work for you won't question your blatant lack of morals.
in other news, a bunch of teenagers who raped another teenager, bragged about it in a video, and put it on the internet get two years(24 months) in juevinile hall)
a few scattered scattered anectodal evidence which is not indicitive of the whole.
Reality is, if your picking a fight with vets, your picking a fight with the working class, and avoiding one with the bankers, politicians, and other people who start these wars.
I guess its diffrent when the people who go fight these war are your family and neighbors, and not some distant underclass.
there is always some dumb hipster to get on facebook, or social media, or in some bar, and go:
"well the government finds my cute pictures of cats, my kinky texts to my gf, and my like of korean-mexican fusion, so what?"
To brag to the world he holds no controversial opinions, does no activism, thinks nothing more about fitting into his sister's jeans, foodie obsessions, and the latest pop culture trends and celebrities he worships. Of course the implication is that everyone else is doing bad things, and he's naturually better.
Its a sole reminder there is a social latter and dissent is a good excuse for competitors in climbing it to kick you down a notch for sticking up for your rights.
welfare is at an all time high, less Americans are employeed at any time since women entered the work force.
Lets be blunt the concept of hiring immigrants has never been about compassion, but about paying them lower wages than they could pay Americans.
If you want to have a conversation about Americans being lazy it starts with the stock holders and ends hipsters with bigger mouths than brains and 4 year degrees in beer drinking, and existential bullshit philosphy.
So immigrants take the jobs hipsters are too lazy to do, projecting their own laziness to the working class.
In short your faux call of "racism" on someone else, is really your own hatred of the working class.
honestly, if I was a stockholder, I'd rather liquidate the company, while you still have tangible saleable assets than take on a microsoft exec. They're track record is not good.
I think its partially because you really don't need results to win at microsoft. Microsoft makes products people more or less have to buy(i.e. pre-installed, or needed for compatibility), instead of want to buy. There is virtually no risk/reward for making a flop.
With the exception of the XBox, every product where microsoft had to compete on equal footing with another company they've lost, misrably. The brand name is toxic.
if you've been following court decisions recently, the concept of having lots of money, or political connections, means you are more or less unprosecutable, being deamed "central to the American economy/way of life/psyche", meaning laws only apply to little people.
of course it is, its a PAC, promoting the self-intrest of facebook's CEOs, as well as the intrests of other corporate and stockholders of various tech companies.
the republican party is comparable to most mainline conservative parties in europe, their main focus is financial issues and "business friendly-ness"
Even the worst of the republicans is still less racist than the average European politicians.
The only thing that compares to the golden dawn and other racist "ultra nationalists" are fringe groups generally on police watch lists, which are more similar to street gangs than parties seeking election.
"Funny how black people vote for the black candidate and white people vote for the white candidate. If that's not racism, I don't know what is. "
people getting lynched on the streets, every conversation begins with your skin color or facial features.
Germany is far more racist than the USA, and treats immigrants far worse than we do,
the fact is that most Americans vote for "their party", and that with only two choices of president, one party actively courts minorities, and one does not. Minorities vote democrat regardless of the skin color of the democrat
Or you could probably state that there acceptance into the republican party was more or less when they got taken off the terrorist watch list.
The worst part is that the democrat machine still regards the republican intervention as a good thing for the tea party. The major parties and their propaganda still reffer to each other as a lesser of two evils than actual grass roots activists they regard as terrorists.
From what most of its supporters I run into online want, is charging teenagers as adults for "bullying" in schools, and makiing it a crime not to use real life identies online, and arresting people who make disparaging remarks online.
most of the people are fairly rude and uncouth themselves, so its obvious the laws are only going to apply to people they don't like, and I expect enforcement to be targeted.
at the same time, they had the USSR to make an excuse on why they need to get their hands dirty, and the realpolitik took over with regards to restricting rights.
like it did with terrorism, and goth kids, and every other cooked up threat.

good job America, way to let the world know you have your priorities right.
goatse and tubgirl get a whole new dimension.
the only people who will use this are trolls

I think you lost me with the "Aushcitz" remark, and the concept that the average veteran is a war criminal, soley based on a few examples.
While I certainly condem the spying, full out, and sympathize with snowden, its extreme.

well done good sir, This guy reserves the medal of freedom.
ad hominems.
the only reason they have jobs is because they can pay them less then me and boss them around more.
If you think "Americans are lazy and idiots", then you sir are a bigot and idiot as well
the present, real unemployment around 19%, and more people not working since.
and stop with this Lazy American bullshit. Your projecting YOUR lazyness onto others who's "laziness" is wanting to make minimum wage.
Why is that so called liberals resort of conservative arguments when backed into a corner.
I was asking what jobs we had left.
welfare is at an all time high, less Americans are employeed at any time since women entered the work force.

at the same time, there only a handful of people who know how read it. Plus reading source code is not as easy as writing.
My real question is just how much scrutiny has been poured over it, and by who, instead of making the assumptions.
we do?

Given the history of ex-microsoft execs in new companies, its fair to say Zynga is on the way out soon.
Nice knowing you!

The message is simple: more cheap foreign labor
freely???
the NSA more or less demanded google hand it over. Google has done more than most companies to fight NSA seizure of their data.
more than microsoft, who after aquiring skype centralized the protocol, and put a back door in it.

what about mirWayland, or waylandMir?
In other countries, occationally orwellian laws are blocked by elected officials.
In the US, they all shrug and try to explain away our rights.

really?
don't give me an "it can't happen here"
