Look, Facebook is not a media or news outlet. It simply allows users to share content. True, different countries have different rules to what is legal. But once Facebook thinks that it should control content, it is on a downward spiral.
wow.. false moral premises? Really? Show me one. Murder, Rape, Steal are wrong by definition, but Kill, marital right, appropriate are not, why is that? And you do not realise that ethics are rule based and dogmatic and morals not?

If you think that moral relativism is an insult, I would point out that it simply is the case. I have lived in many countries and guess what? Their morals are reflective of their needs, their history, their desires, their environment, their Gods etc. Perhaps you are thinking of ethics, for that is the hiding place of cowards. If you think you are right, you do not have morals, but ethics.
Look, we all know that getting proof of who did what is close to impossible. To demand absolute proof is close to impossible with clued up actors. What all Americans should agree on is that if their security services agree that a foreign country has been attempting to influence their election by illegal means, they should be outraged, no matter what their political persuasion.
This is a good step in the right direction. If it is a clean install it may reduce the need for imaging, just join the domain and let the servers push the rest.
Because we all really trust that anymore... right? Nobody trusts the US devices anymore post Snowden, so the very idea will just add to the distrust. Compare: approved by the Chinese government and approved by the US government.
If only there was a way to circumvent this! Oh wait, there is, like almost every country I have lived in, you just use another currency. Your mistake is to think that governments are all powerful: clue, they are not.
Mod parent up. Nobody chooses to be an outsider, be bullied etc.The very idea that it is a choice is nonsensical, we are turned on by whatever turns us on. The reasons and causes are of no interest. Just accept your fellow human being: if you think you are better than them because of bizarre metaphysics, well, so much the worst for you.
Let's roll back a bit here. You are making so many strange claims. On the one had you think genetics is a proof, or has some authority, because you cited it. Then you leap to sexual preference is not 'an objective condition'.. really? I am not sure how you are using the word 'objective' but you must be alone in your use. You also say that 'without observing a person's behaviour or asking them'... what other way is there? Here is a clue: everything is 'learnable', it does not follow that it is learned. Oh, but wait: also biological and environmental influences. Anything left for your free will?
Because of your electoral system you had the choice between an intellectual dwarf and a moral dwarf. You have chosen: we have had more than our fair share of both. You will survive no problem. I do not understand the doom sayers. America is bigger than that this. It is a great country that has has given more to world culture in 300 years than almost any other nation on Earth.
Nice one, someone you have never met you insult and call disgusting. They may disagree with you, they may not, but you did not wait. How tolerant you are!

I went out today and it was really cold! I had to put wooly socks on and a thermal vest. *ducks*
The human brain is not a computer because computing is a very small part of thinking and intelligence.
Moral flexibility has nothing to do with pragmatism, because if morals themselves are not pragmatic, so much the worse for them!

I cannot even recall the last time I lost anything. Why would I use this? May be of use to people with Alzheimer's?
agree

Wish I had mod points, that really made me laugh thanks :-)

Society does not 'progress' it changes. Darwin does not do such metaphysics.

Nice, keep on insulting people. Way to go.
With all due respects, I think you have your priorities wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Wow, I have had a stressful day and that comment made me burst out laughing. Many thanks.
As a European, yes, all true. But we have been reporting on Hilary for twenty years. A plague on both their houses is obvious.
so you are saying that having sex is a conscious choice? Now I do not know why you have posted

Truth, just a remark, it is not a disease, it did not happen by accident. Good luck on your recovery
