You do realize that Republicans of today aren't the same as the Republicans of the 1860s, right? When it comes to the oldest Republicans still alive and in power today, they're still 6 or 7 generations removed from the Republicans of those days. Political parties can undergo massive changes within just a single generation. When you're talking 6 to 10 generations difference, the policies sure as fuck aren't the same!
Exactly. The Republicans you speak of are from the Civil War era, and the policies of that time are quite different from those today; it's a similar case with the Democrats, who also happened to be have different policies from nowadays during that era.
Even then (on a different note), the Thirteenth Amendment was the statute that actually freed the slaves.

Well, there you go... It's harder to replace a middle-aged parent with much more life experience than a teenager who can be replaced easier. The parents of the MILF are probably old enough they can't replace her, but the teenager's parents are more likely to be capable of replacing the teenager, so you value them that way.
On the other hand, you could argue that since the middle aged parent has much less productive life remaining, letting them die reduces the oppurtunity costs to society vs. letting the teenager die.
Also, considering the age of the parents, they may not be able to have healthy kids that survive or kids at all, which, in that case, they wouldn't be that much use either, also considering that the teen may be ever so slightly genetically advantaged, being their offspring.
To avoid ethical issues and the programming of saving "favored" subjects, it should probably just be absolutely random. Take some external factor, feed it through and algorithm, if one way save this guy, otherwise save that guy. Repeat for every subject.
There's a major difference between the two. Traffic lights and crosswalks are certainly not mainly for the convenience of drivers, but are still very much necessary to save the lives of the few people that may have to walk into traffic.
because white people are really the only group in danger of seeing itself go extinct
Funny, especially because the Pygmies, who happen to be in Africa, are a lot more likely to do so.
Its white people who have high IQ they are trying to get rid of, through the 1) artificially suppressed birth rates 2) social engineering such as feminism, 3) abortion 4) contraceptives
Since when did doctors know the IQ of fetuses before they were born?
Obviously immigration invasions destroy the uniqueness of nations and is against global diversity
I wonder how that's supposed to be applied to the U.S., when its uniqueness is its diversity, due to immigrants.:)
. Blacks can have africa and fuck it up however they please as far as I am concerned.. Just dont come complaining and trying to scapegoat white people for the failures of other races. But for some thats not enough, they are not happy until whites have been defeated in every white country, its not enough that blacks get their own countries, whites must be exterminated as a majority in all countries.
All I can say is: go read a history book. Read over how Africa came to become the divided continent it is today.
but up is down in the orwellian world of the genocidalists
WiFi Protected Setup shouldn't be used anyways for security, especially since its problems have already been mentioned many times already in quite a few articles.
Yes it's another one of these types of posts, but in all seriousness, why is this on slashdot.org? Most of the articles on Slashdot at least pertain to the "news for nerds" category in some way, but this?:
These 'water witches', draped in dubious pseudoscience or self-assembled mythologies—or both—typically use divining rods and some sort of practiced intuition to "find" water. The professional variety do so for a fee. And business is booming. They're just part of a storied tradition of pseudoscientific hucksters exploiting our thirst for water, with everything from cloudbusters to rainmachines to New Age rituals. [Source text above]

Simply ignoring these posts ("Don't feed the Trolls") would help . That way, if it's really a "troll", they don't get the attention they want, and if it's simply an honest opinion, people who see those posts as "trolling" won't spark useless arguments. People who see those arguments rationally will continue posting rational responses anyways, and that will probably continue, and that's not a problem. There's always the "flag for review" option anyways.
Would you do it if they were reading comic books about war? Watching movies? Watching 50s movies with John Wayne about war? Reading novels about war? Playing war in the yard? If they started playing cops and robbers in the back yard with the neighbor kids, is it time to haul them off to a Scared Straight session at a prison, to impress upon them the harsh realities of a life of crime?
This whole story is a tale of over-reaction that only seemed to have occurred, because "oh my god, video games!".
Well, people did use to get themselves into knots over controversial content in "required-reading" books from school...

Oh yeah, I remember that guy from that movie.
Unless they're the same 10 people... :3
Does that mean we've finally found easier way to end a Comcast contract?

Letting them go back to driving immediately isn't the answer either

Anyone else had South Park episode 190 come to mind?

When are we going to get our Spider-Ham movie now?

Have you even read 1984?

Quran 2:256 and Quran 18:29 can be interpreted as discouraging forced conversion.

Some will still continue to up-vote them for amusement value though.

Sorry to barge in, but don't several tech companies do things like this?
