  3. A lot of far left types seem to think that drug companies are just ripping off inventions of the government and/or universities, or worse, that they deliberately withhold permanent cures in favor of temporary ones. With that in mind, I am somewhat curious why universities and the government haven't come up with a solution if indeed the drug companies truly provide no benefit.

    Though for their part, some universities are doing the research:

  4. It's been happening constantly. The whole "it's OK to punch a Nazi, and a Nazi is whoever I say it is" thing. Political violence is on the verge of becoming serious in the US right now.

    You can say that again. Antifa tactics closely resemble Nazi tactics, right down to marching in public with brown shirts while carrying firearms. And they pretty much label anybody who isn't with them as their enemy.

  5. Uh, yes it was. A ragtag group of misfits with no military, no resources, and no coordination tugged on Superman's cape and said "FUCK YOU".

    You're pretty uneducated if you think that is accurate. Granted, there were skirmishes between citizens and British military (see the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party for example) but actually independence began with the Continental Congress declaring that it was separate from England, and formed its own government.

    The British crown really didn't like that, so it was on them to assault the newly formed United States to bring it back into the fold. They failed, and thus affirming the independent status of the US.

  6. Why is anybody at fault at all? The CIA has been doing this stuff since it has existed. Whether it's planting a bug in an office or tapping somebody's line, it has always happened. The fact that they're using newer technology isn't a bad thing, it just means they're staying technologically relevant.

    The NSA stuff was bad because they were spying domestically, and Snowden was right for exposing that, and did the US a service. Unless the CIA is doing domestic spying, I don't see the problem here, and these leaks are a disservice.

    Manning and Assange are mostly out to get attention for themselves, and those leaks were wrong. In fact, the whole reason the US has a case against Assange now is because he blatantly targets the US and only very rarely targets foreign entities. Disagree? Well let me point to the 2016 election. You'd have to be quite hypocritical to think that the NSA leaks were a good thing because they were spying on the US, and yet somehow Assange is the good guy for doing the exact same thing.

    My take? Assange is nothing but a narcissist asshole rapist and should answer for that, and when Sweden is finished, he should answer for it just like the NSA.

    No, just the ones in your social bubble, just like how most republicans think most people think democrats are obnoxious, or how most democrats think most people think republicans are obnoxious.

    You used the term vulva, idiot. That's external.

    Didn't I just explain why I used that term? Oh yes, I did.

    BTW - "you don't even write like a woman" is a load of crap. How is a woman supposed to write? With all deference to male privilege? Too weak and fearful to call out bullshitters like you? All emotional and hysterical, no logic or facts? "Knowing our place?" Here's a news flash - those "good ole days" are long gone, and never coming back, you dumb hick. With that remark you've shown that women are the great unknown in your life. As I said, it was expected - your personality is the perfect contraceptive.

    Nope, it's more nuanced than that; I suggest you do some research rather than sit here and denigrate real women.

    The real question is why you, and people like you, insist on going on and on about gender transition when the story is about intelligence leaks and the subsequent pardon. My guess?

    Yet another lie. YOU'RE the one who made reference to genitalia (external primary sex characteristics) here [slashdot.org]. In my reply I made the distinction quite clear. A working neoclitoris is not a vulva. And it's certainly not external.

    I did not say a single word about it being external anywhere in that post. If you disagree, then quote me. Rather, you did in your reply to that, and I'll quote:

    BTW, the word "genitals" only refers to "a person or animal's external organs of reproduction", not the internal parts, so yes, they are genitals.

    from: https://slashdot.org/comments....

    Which by the way, this definition is not precise, you just used it because you got it from the first result from Google. Genitals can also refer to the internal reproductive organs, though usually when spoken it will be mentioned as internal genitals, to clarify. Nonetheless, I followed up in the exact manner that you used it, hence the mention of vulva (which you don't have, by the way, yours is at best described as an open wound; any other description is non-scientific and/or not related to biology, akin to referring to a quadcopter as a bird.)

    Also, I like how you're constantly trying to prove your a real woman, and on the few times I've spoken to real women about this subject (including my girlfriend) it seems that their belief is that people like you are nothing more than usurpers when you try to speak on behalf of them, so please stop doing it, because you're just a narcissist going way out of his way to draw attention to himself, and you're not a woman. (You don't even write like a woman, which means you most certainly don't have a female mind. You're just a man full of estrogen and removed genitals.)

    That is all I have to say on this subject.

  14. We haven't seen any evidence of them outright blocking services though. Favoring their own services, but not blocking anything. The closest we've seen to that which I'm aware of is cogent blocking thepiratebay, but that wouldn't change with or without net neutrality, because net neutrality only protects lawful content. (I occasionally use thepiratebay by the way, so I'm biased against them blocking it, though I'm ok without it because I mostly rely on private trackers.)

    At any rate, once net neutrality goes away (yes, I think it's most likely going to happen) it will be hard for it to come back. But, what I could see happening is that since ISPs are no longer common carriers, having a law that states that they can be held liable for content transmitted across their networks, or alternatively they can opt for common carrier status, which means they have to observe net neutrality.

    I guarantee you that it would be much cheaper for them to observe net neutrality than having to deal with constant lawsuits from Timmy's parents because he keeps getting bullied on facebook and twitter, or alternatively somebody using IFTTT and a WeMo switch to detonate a bomb in a downtown area, and all of the bombing victims can come after the ISP.

  15. I support net neutrality, but I don't think it's a speech issue, rather it's more an issue of economics. At least, we haven't seen any evidence of somebody's speech being squelched as a result of a lack of net neutrality.

    Political correctness on the other hand does very often squelch somebody's speech, and in fact we see it happen at US universities often.

    "What's put in place" is their own tissue

    Sure, but it's not genitals, and furthermore the body treats it as an open wound which actively tries to heal itself shut.

    And while I'm not one to make an issue of what people do to themselves, I think there's some cognitive dissonance between this and the Hippocratic Oath.
