Welcoming people means assimilating them, not leaving them isolated from the mainstream ethnic group. "Exceptions" are reverse racism, when they're not actual positive racism.
No country is perfect, but many do better at living up to their ideals, and none are so obnoxious in telling the world how their country is different because of its ideals.
The USA PATRIOT Act has achieved its true objectives superlatively. The Orwellian name alone should have told what the actual purpose was.
And it was hardly knee-jerk. They had set up an elaborate Reichstag fire^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H anthrax 'incident' to frighten people but then bin Laden did his thing first.
Technologically inclined people understand that the security breach is simply a matter of time and is a near certainty. The general public, not so much.
How much do they think a 200+ person wedding costs??
It should make a difference whether those are 200 random people you bribed into turning up with free (to them) food and a party for the sake of your own ego, or those are 200 friends, relatives, and engaged community members who turn up to offer symbolic and practical support for the new relationship.
Having a network of 200 supportive friends is bound to help any situation.
Of course government can read my e-mail. All they have to be is waterboard me.
Wrong.
I can't understand why people are so confused about this. It has nothing to do with government needing to resort to extreme measures to get its way.
All it takes is a warrant. People have been getting warrants for close to a thousand years. Getting a warrant is not hard. Getting a warrant is a routine part of professional law enforcement. Nowadays getting the warrant is actually easier than all the theatrics they're doing instead. All these efforts to circumvent constitution guarantees (in multiple countries) are about making the political statement that the government is above the law. It is intimidation with no constructive purpose. Citizens are worse off not just because it violates their rights, but also because it encourages sloppy police work.
I suspect these 'experts' are just panicky people who an incompetent journalist mistook for actual experts.
If anything people genuinely interested in the cure will *not* want to compromise actual clinical trials.
Perhaps some alternatives could be tried in parallel, and - by random chance - they might help, but they will be nothing more than folk remedies until there are proper trials.

Are we perfect? No.

I think you may have a fever. Perhaps you should isolate yourself.

Are you referring to...
I'm referring to hormone biochemistry. You've gone off topic.
Except, what is industry grade security?
People in the industry will tell you practically none, but strangely they don't get asked enough.
Technologically inclined people understand that the security breach is simply a matter of time and is a near certainty. The general public, not so much.
You seriously don't think that's 'much diminished' compared to a 99% drop in population?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Another analogy is a particle at the centre of the black hole getting outside the event horizon by quantum tunelling.
I was never sure if that made sense either.
Birth control pills contain substances chemically like oestrogen. What did you think was in them?
I would expect the effect to be much diminished compared to fish
Human males are behaving feminized, even though females are not selecting for that trait.
The fish population crashed to one percent of its prior level.
I'd say that counts as 'much diminished'.
Which is why there no-one ever gets engaged after being a guest at a wedding.
Reverse discrimination probably has a legitimate role is encouraging a transition from an entrenched, systemic bias to an unbiased situation.
But once people become invested in crusading against their pet cause, they can't stop.

Regarding your friends as mere tactical allies is exactly the point.
I'm just waiting for the "NSA actually created the universe" leak.
I don't know about that one, but you might be living in a "the NSA actually created the leak" universe.
Lots of countries could be their friends if they just treated them as equals.
No, no, this is only *talking* about exercising - it's okay.
Exactly 120 minutes. No more, no less.
That's harder than it sounds.
You're saying the US does not treat its friends any better than it treats its (sometimes imaginary) enemies.
Interestingly, the US's friends have also noticed this.
Liking the command-line doesn't make someone a Luddite either.
Auernheimer is a blight on the human species and a criminal.
Women are more vulnerable (on average!) than men to harassment and similar behaviours.
Both statements can be true.
