And yet the US continued to practice slavery long after most of the western world made it illegal. You were even stupid enough to fight a civil war over it, that's how deeply it's ingrained in your culture. Just look at the fuss with the confederate flag - those attitudes are still alive today. The industrial revolution didn't make slavery economically nonviable - to the contrary, it increased demand for slaves because the machines could process more cotton, and only the slaves could pick it.
It only died out in the southern states because the northern states were emancipating slaves that made it north. The loss of cheap labor, not the industrial revolution, was why it died out. If they could have continued to replace slaves as fast as they ran away, or put up exit controls, the southern states would have had no problem, and would probably have won the civil war.
People still wore clothes even during the industrial revolution. Someone had to pick that cotton. It wasn't machines.
It's still not OUR problem. If someone else has a problem with it, how is it up to me to solve it? Answer - it's not. Same as if someone is offended by my being an atheist. Not my problem.
As for cites, you crippled? You certainly were able to hone in on outdated, repudiated studies on your own.
Do you have sex with your landlord? Do you think as a landlord you are entitled to sex from your tenants? The guys I rented the bedroom to were just that - tenants. Are you so stupid as to think that tenants have sex privileges? Oh, right, you have this stereotype in your mind that we're all like the losers in that shitty show Transparent.
Transparent is crap. Sure, there are many who look and act like that - they're literally fucking idiots. AIDS-bags. Let anyone screw them to get some sort of validation as to who they are. But that is far from the reality for many of us. Of course, the reality won't make for good TV. So cast a man in a dress as the central character "Maura". Let him be every single painful cliche, the embodiment of every single painful cliche and stereotype, because that makes for good ratings.
Also, we weren't the ones causing the problem with Target, so don't lay that on us. The bathrooms were specifically so that transphobes would be accommodated. We were already accommodated just fine. So they spent $20 million dollars on religious and other bigots, not on us. Charlotte, North Carolina, has already lost more than $20 million in business because they passed their bathroom bill - and that's a recurring annual loss, not a one-time expense. The businesses in other states sure made coin out of not bowing to intolerance.
Why don't you watch Transparent - it's your kind of BS propaganda.
Just say it. You're dying to say it. "It's in their culture."
Everyone here was also exposed to lead, but we didn't have the level of racia violence the US had, or continues to have, so yes, of course, it's in American culture. You can't have a country whose economic foundation was slavery not have a cultural problem. Has nothing to do with lead, and everything to do with racism.
The faculty are still there, and they knew it was a scam, and still profited. The "Ich vas chust followink orders" excuse is no excuse. Neither is "everyone was doing it."
You missed the point entirely - the ENTIRE population was exposed 50 years ago. Didn't matter where you lived. Lead in gasoline was everywhere. It got into the air, the water, the soil, the food. And people lived in houses with lead paint, and furniture painted with lead paint, because that was pretty much all that there was. The air and water and food and soil didn't suddenly become lead-free because you were white. The veggies weren't marked "lead free - whites only". Plenty of kids worked their way through school as pump jockeys, and they got higher exposures than the kids who dropped out earlier.
Just use email to send stories to people who are interested. No web server needed. Problem solved. New subscribers from word of mouth. Cheap, easy, effective.
You take a chain an pull the car into the middle of the street, facing the wrong way and blocking traffic, then call the cops (I know a neighbor who did that). Or, you put it into an area where they're about to dig up the streets and gas mains. Half an hour later, they can't get to their car because all the asphalt around it is dug up and they're waiting on the tow truck to haul it off (I did that - statute of limitations is over. Moral of the story - don't block someone's loading dock in the middle of the day because someone might ask me to "fix" the problem with a coat hanger:-)
And cops shoot or beat innocent people to death in the streets. That mean it's ok if you take a bat to some stranger out walking his dog?
As a dog owner, I'd say if they didn't pick up their dog's sh*t, I have no real problem with you taking a bat to them. Just don't hit the dog - it's not their fault.
Depends on where you ae. Here it's not. You can't even sit in your car across the street from your own house to spy on whether your spouse is cheating on you - and for that all you have to see is who enters or leaves the house, not what goes on inside.
We also put restraints on private investigators so that they are no longer allowed to spy on people either.
This has already been well established. The air above your house is NOT yours, beyond the height you can use. In one case, a judge settled on 83 feet. Somebody flying his little quadcopter by at 200 feet isn't in "your" airspace at all, hovering or not.
If I can fly my drone up to 400 feet above my house, then I am making use of that airspace, which makes that MY airspace according to your, and the court's reasoning.
How about naked on the top floor, so nobody on the street can see a darn thing, and there are no other buildings nearby? There's a reasonable expectation of privacy there.
The law is you can't fly a drone above 400 feet because, as far as the supreme court is concerned, private airspace ends at 500 feet, and you need a safety margin. So, if it was flying below 500 feet, fire away, because it IS legally in your airspace. Also, courts generally will take previous relevant decisions into consideration, which means that they are going to look at the criminal complaint, which said he could shoot it. If the complainant didn't want that to be used against his civil claim, he should have appealed it first. Stupid idiot.
Won't make a difference. The Guardian's investigation showed that even police forces that were supposed to record all police shootings didn't, and that includes fatal shootings.
Both sides have started stupid wars. The question is, why does the other party, after denouncing them, not get the f*ck out? As for nuking a few targets, in the long run it would cause fewer deaths than what's been going on. Over a million died in the Iraq war. Killing a few thousand with a tactical nuke to wipe out a threat is peanuts in comparison. Or better yet, just get the hell out of the middle east.
Get out of the middle east, and let them kill each other off. They've been doing it for centuries, and no outsider is going to change that, so pull out, stop arming them, and realize that any deaths are on their heads. We cannot fix it, ever. All we can do is make it worse. Change will have to come from them, and that's not going to happen until they've killed enough of their own people that it cripples their ability to function, to have an economy, to have infrastructure, to live. Pull out, total blockade, nobody gets in, nobody gets out. It will work itself out, or it won't, same as it has always been.
I'm asking how only those transsexuals with non-functioning male genitals will be allowed to use the women's bathroom."
Most people don't have problems with transsexuals using the bathroom that conforms to their gender identification. It's not up to us to solve the problems of people who have hang-ups about it. It's also not up to us to figure out how to determine if someone is non-functional, because it's not our problem - it's yours. If you have a problem with it, go use the handicapped washroom. Problem solved. We are not responsible for your emotional problems and hang-ups.
Also, the bathroom nonsense started a decade ago, in Missoulla, pushed by the local fundie churches. This is not new. They were attacking everything that wasn't what they considered "normal", but they knew they were losing ground even then on the whole gay marriage thing. You should learn the history before making stupid claims.
You admit that you said "When men dress up as women in Hollywood movies, it's for a gag." You made a clear statement, with no exceptions, and the when I pointed out it wasn't true, you tried to walk it back. Won't work.
Also, I sure didn't have sex with the guys I rented out my spare bedroom to. I'm not that easy.
Now, let's get back to the original topic. You refuse to call Chelsea Manning by her proper name. You say it's because you "refuse to go along with the herd and participate in other people's delusions." Do you still call black people niggers? After all, the rest of the world stopped doing it. Are we delusional? Too progressive for you? Or is being polite not a good thing in your universe?
BTW - those single-use bathrooms that Target is installing in their stores? That's not reserved for transsexuals. That's for people who have a problem with possibly sharing a bathroom with transsexuals, because Target has already said we can use the bathroom that matches our gender identity, and we don't have to go pee in a separate bathroom. That $20 million is to accommodate bigots. If you were to complain that I was using the woman's washroom, YOU, not me, would be directed to the single-occupancy stall, as per Target's policy, because I sure as hell won't, and I'd be ready to take them to court over it (fortunately, it's been the law that we go where we feel is appropriate since at least the '90s, even though police haven't bothered to take complaints since the '70s. Oooh - we're "progressive"). Fact is, they're spending $20 million to keep the bigots like you away from the rest of the world.
Wishful thinking. They breed too fast. That's a natural, innate survival strategy - it happens to all members of the human race under the same conditions. So good like trying to have them kill each other off.

If everything was done via email, so would twitter. Same with facebook. Or are you unclear of the concept of email?

Anyone can forward an email, or have you forgotten that? It's even easier that cut-n-pasting a link.
As for the stupidity of going viral, maybe it's time to end that pointless metric of relevance.
About the only important stories going viral are about Hillary's emails :-)
Just say it. You're dying to say it. "It's in their culture."

If the alternative is to pass everyone, even those who haven't learned a thing, why not? Put a bit of fear of failing into them.

And what is the problem with that? Non profits are among the most profitable businesses going.

Again, both sides do it, so what's your point?
So what? And that's not true. It's already been proven theoretically that any cpu can run software made for another cpu via emulation.
Oh look - another AC. Fuck you, coward.

That was Joe Kennedy and the mob (casino money). Had nothing to do with politics.
