    You are literally identifying with Nazi's right now and you think you are on the right side of history. Unbelievable.

  2. But what are we running these days? 1 actual right-wing extremist vs a dozen or so from left-wing extremists. That is of course providing that he's actually a right-winger, since that seems to be a story in absolute flux at the moment too.

    How in hell can you justify that statement? I'll answer your three with the Portland stabbing, Timothy Caughman killing a black guy in the street to prevent white women from having interracial relationships, Alexandre Bissonnette shooting up a mosque and Dylan Roof. I'm up two my my count and that is just what I could think of off the top of my head. The body count is a lot higher on your side.

    And where are these people at? Because none of them are in congress or the white house, or on TV or really anywhere I have ever seen before.

  5. I look forward to your passionate denouncement of this violence from right-wing protesters like you have posted on here over and over about "antifa". This time someone even died so you better crank it up a notch.

    That's pretty low compared to drugs which can have margins in the 10,000% range. iPhones have a 200% profit margin. Companies have to make something or else they just won't produce. I think 37% is fairly reasonable.

    Just because they use the same sterilization technique doesn't mean they will taste like military rations. I imagine there are a lot of other reasons (related to cost and general indifference to whether it tastes good) that the military rations are not great.

    There is evidence that the variability theory is actually reversed in some cultures, with more women being at the high end of intelligence, which would mean it is not biologic. Also, I don't know what kind of company you think Google is but they do not exclusively hire super geniuses. There are a lot of grunt workers, even among programmers.

    Men sure do love mowing the lawn, more than anyone loves anything I imagine. I have never seen a woman doing it before, they are just out there all the time fucking mowing that shit. At least in the mall there are like 30% men.

    Or maybe there are alternate explanations? As a women you are judged a lot more by your appearance, so you have to spend more time shopping to succeed in society. That doesn't mean you love shopping. By that logic, men sure do love mowing the lawn. I see them out there doing it all the fucking time.

  12. Ok we are just going to disagree on pretty much everything and there is nothing I can do to change that, but I want to respond to one particular thing because it bothers me. The article you linked about Wisconsin, I have never heard of that incident and I really have no idea of the validity of that article because it is obviously biased, but there is a quote at the beginning that exemplifies so of the ignorance in your argument:

    The raids themselves were terrifying. In anonymous interviews, victim after victim described to me the pounding on the door, the rush of officers into their homes, the investigators strutting about, taking their personal belongings, and ordering them to be silent, or else.

    Again, if this is true then I do sympathize with these people because that sounds like it sucks. BUT, to act like it is the biggest injustice the police have ever done is astoundingly tone deaf. Read about no-knock warrants and how people have woken up to police literally busting into their homes unannounced in the middle of the night to search for drugs (a non-violent crime). Multiple innocent civilians have been killed by police recklessness, a baby was put in a coma when the SWAT team landed a flash bang in his crib. Imagine waking up to literal home invaders but defending yourself against them puts you in jail for assaulting an officer.

    Compared to that, and the MANY other injustices done to poor people by the police, these activists in Wisconsin can stop crying about how traumatizing it was for the police to go through their stuff. I know this is a relatively small point, but I feel it exemplifies how the right has an astounding lack of perspective. Things are only important when they happen to you personally, otherwise fuck all those poor people. Oh shit, now the police are coming to my house? Government overreach!

    I don't think it would be hard to find corroborating evidence

    Again you just assume. That is the problem. Please take a minute for some introspection here.

    It seems so readily available in things like the apparent disproportionate ratio of "stores for women" vs "stores for men" that I think many would accept this prejudice as being generally true.

    There are lots of alternative explanations for this. Women are judged more on their looks and so have to spend more time and money on shopping for fashionable clothes, even if they don't like it. I have heard this exact explanation from women before.

  14. I'm going to sit back and enjoy Slashdot commenters having an internal war over whether to support net neutrality (which has been pretty much universally approved of here before) of their BFF Trump who wants to destroy it. Let's watch!

  16. But we do not bear him any ill-will, we are not out to shut him up or cause him harm.

    So all those death threats to trans people are writing themselves?

    The leftists are a small minority with all the power.

    Which is why democrats received a plurality of the popular vote in the last three presidential elections.

    They destroy careers by firing and blacklisting.

    Like how Trump wanted to fire all the DoE employees that believe in climate change?

    They use the force of law to arrest, fine and harass dissenters.

    This one is extra insane. I don't even know what you are talking about here. Are you under the impression that law enforcement, a current major target of liberal outrage, is somehow under the control of leftists? Literally wtf.

    Followed by your allies in the media pronouncing that we "hate government," "oppose education" and "deny science" because we are incensed by corruption of those institutions and endeavors to serve your own ideological and political ends.

    Isn't that what every group in power tries to do? Your guys are doing it right now, and have done it before. That is seemingly the entire point of government.

  25. Because you don't get the same pay? When you are deployed you make a lot more money. If you are an officer going up to the promotion board competing against other candidates that have done combat tours and you haven't, you will be at a disadvantage. People don't generally want to be stuck behind a desk because it is not a good career move. There is even a whole category of officers in the navy called restricted line for people that are not fully combat eligible due to things like poor eyesight or minor physical disability.
