Denmark is a member of NATO, so if the US attacked Denmark militarily, the US (along with the rest of NATO) would be obligated to come to Denmark's aid and repel the aggressors.
Maybe we could all pause for a moment, take a deep breath, and:
Acknowledge that while racism does still exist, society is doing pretty good when you need clever experiments and (in this case) advanced technology to be able to measure it objectively.
And no, in 200 years you will not be able to just turn on magic reverse global warming.
This is a weaker argument than many people think. Technological knowledge is increasing at an exponential rate, and a technological solution is plausible. That's not what's wrong with the argument. What's wrong is that it's also plausible the technology won't be developed or won't be developed in time - this is bad when the existence of human civilization is at stake.
The Nazi Party was organized crime masquerading as a cult, not a political party in the modern sense, and it was neither (consistently) left-wing or right-wing in its politics. Much like the Communist Party.
Dark matter is a hypothesis. So far it fits the data, but new data may force modification or even rejection of the hypothesis. The reason it's an exciting area of research is exactly because physicist acknowledge that its an imperfect hypothesis.
All science works this way. The luminiferous aether hypothesis was not foolish or worthless - it was valuable science because when tested its limitations led to new insights. And while the materials science metaphor was eventually judged inappropriate, if "empty" space can have an energy density or a geometry, it may yet turn out that something about the basic idea of a luminiferous aether could be true.
Yes, and it's very clear to most people that saying that the Attorney General is "forcing" someone usually means employing lawful methods of persuasion and not physically hijacking their nervous system with a technology that doesn't exist yet.
The meaning of the word 'force' is coloured by its use in context. Same as every word in every language.

Sounds like the no true schoolbus fallacy.
Have Hollywood fallen so far
Yes.
Why are you presuming 'unconscious'? That's a separate issue from whether or not someone is racist.
Nobody is being "backdoored" here except as required by law.
An unconstitutional law is actually not a law at all.
Correct. Exactly like the post it was in response to.
It worked in Panama...

The glass is half full.
You may have other advantages that you are so completely taking for granted that you do not recognize them.
But the fads change faster still, and this has been obvious to informed people in IT for decades.
Everything web-based since the original HTML has been more about hype than technological substance.
I'm not sure who I would expect to abuse this more, the telecoms or the government.
They certainly aren't terrorists if they don't terrorize anyone beyond their immediate victims. They may well die utterly failing at their objective.
And in Canada we had two terrorist attacks
Those were hate crimes. Terrorism has a political message.
sometimes below average and sometimes above average.

Dreams... not exactly objective evidence.
I think Gaff being the replicant would be a far more interesting twist.
So, the invention of marketing pre-dates the 'discovery' of beer?

For a large part doctors and biologists have no clue what they are really doing.
In contrast to... Slashdot posters?
Correct - women only catch it from pregnant men.
Is it really a different question? The answers certainly aren't different.
...no.
I'm surprise they still bother to pretend that all that homeland 'security' theatre has anything to do with security.
Aside from one word, artificial intelligence and actual intelligence have nothing in common.
At least, not that we know of, since we don't know what actual intelligence is.
