The problem is that rich people don't have friends the same way poor people do. When you are poor you rely on each other and the bond is a lot stronger. When you are rich it's merely a person of convenience to chat to at parties, then say nasty things about them after they leave.
Yeah that works until one day when you check in and for some unknown reason you get detained. It happened to me in China, and took hours out of my day clearing things up while dudes with guns treated me like a criminal. That's not my definition of free.
His public character started when he inherited his fortune and spent the next decade or two pretending to be a shrewd business man just because he is rich.
Donald Trump was rich well before his father died...
Well the most obvious difference is that a lot of countries around the world are still oppressive regimes. America apparently is different (freedom and justice and all that), although that seems to be changing fast...
And where specifically did you read that people will be tagged with an RFID? They could simply carry an ID card. A perfectly reasonable requirement. They could check in once in a while. Another perfectly reasonable requirement.
The fact that you think this is a reasonable requirement is scary. So much for land of the free eh?
I don't know what that tells us about opinions in general but it certainly tells us about/. posters.
The most it tells us is about 4 Slashdot posters (3 that modded one post up, and 1 person who modded one post down). Not really enough information to make any sort of judgement about the whole user-base.
I'll go first, not because I'm a hero or anything, but having experience in tackling big men (ex-rugby player), I'm quite confident that I can restrain another human. And since the likely result of a hijacking these days is death, I've already consciously committed to taking that risk should it ever present itself.
I'm 48 years old and 100% of the married men in my peer group (middle class, mostly white males married to mostly white females, all with white collar jobs) complain about their wives lack of interest in sex. ALL of them. I don't think any of the conventional explanations make sense.
Of course it makes sense. Men want sex their whole lives, women only want sex to have kids. Society doesn't want to accept this and oppresses male sexuality by enforcing this primitive concept called monogamy. Once you accept that sexual monogamy is a myth, life gets a whole lot easier.
(It's worth noting that social monogamy can still be maintained with sexual freedom, just don't tell the missus)
When a woman gets married and has children, her whole life changes. Her husband is no longer the focus of her life, her children are. She loses interest in sex, and doesn't see why she should have to do it any more. If she wants another child, sure, but otherwise not. To her, it's just one more person who wants something from her at the end of a long day at work, and this one she can actually say "no" to. So, she does.
Meanwhile, the husband, cut completely off from one source of sex he is allowed to have, grows increasingly desperate and unhappy.
There is an easy fix for this. They're called hookers.
Stay married, and have as much sex as you can afford. Win, win.
But even selfish assholes, being selfish, try to look out for their own interests.
Everything you do is selfish. People steal because it makes them feel good. Others give money to charity because it makes them feel good. People like being married because it makes them feel good. Some of them fuck around because it makes them feel good. At no point is there any option which isn't self serving in some way.
I think there's more than only two types of marriage. Some people are emotionally connected but not sexually. Some actually like to share. Some have marriages of convenience so sexual restrictions are not part of the deal, and some are happily married but simply need sexual variety. I'm sure there's many others.
Imposing your own traditional view of marriage based on some concept invented by primitive goat herders has shown time after time to result in disappointment.
I know a guy that met one of them. She played the whole married looking for an affair game, said she just wanted to fuck around, and he got hooked.
So the deal was she'd organise a hotel for their rendezvous if he'd split the bill. He rocks up, she asks for the money, quick shower and sex, and within the hour she asks him to leave. Through sheer chance I heard the exact same story from another guy, same girl, same hotel room. She probably had 10 guys lined up for the day and made a decent income, although you can only pull that off for so long.

Raping someone while they're asleep and unable to resist tends to be frowned upon in civil society.
Sure, but what does that have to do with this case?
Monica Lewinsky, where is she now?
One might remember that Plenty of Fish and Adult Friend Finder have both been hacked in recent years, which didn't kill those sites.
Because single people don't care if they're found to be members of an online dating site. Your wife however....

simple, you start doing it, others take the hint and leave themselves. employers get punished for hiring such, they take the hint
Like how arresting drug dealers stops drug dealing you mean? The only thing simple about this is you....

An easier way would be to name the wars NOT involving Muslims.
Same goes for Americans doesn't it?

If you were the father or brother of those two girls your opinion on the matter would probably be different.
If you read the details of the charges, your opinion would probably be different...
Sweet! I'm all good then :)
I find it difficult to wank standing up, so the greatest risk is lying down...
If it's idle, what is the half a million per day being spent on?
I dabbled in Tinder for a while and made a killing based on this same strategy. Just not being a jerk seems to put you ahead of 99% of the pack...
If you are a decent looking woman, you just go to any dive bar ...
FTFY.
Plenty of big ugly fatties out there not getting any...
But they can probably still spell better than you can...
2) We're Christians, and regular sex is a commitment (1 Corinthians 7).
So is not fucking children, but that doesn't seem to stop your lot...
