Did you ever watch the old G.I.I Joe cartoon (amongst others)??;-)
Lots of boys want to grow up to be a tough good-guy soldier dude. Not as many want to grow up to be a woman, or a diversity priest, or a social justice warrior.
-Who doesn't enjoy preachy fiction stories? -Why wouldn't a story written to fill diversity quotas be as compelling as a story written to entertain? -Don't comic book readers want to worship the latest designated victim class members? -Why doesn't the regular comic book audience appreciate the new characters adaptations that are meant to appeal to a new, completely different audience who have never been much into comic books?
Why do we care that some random building has snow and ice falling off of it? Because Apple-haters gotta get their hate on? Get a life and stop burdening everyone with this crap.
Not sure what you think your point is. Is it "nukes...frowny face...congratulations to myself"?
ICBMs are an awesome engineering accomplishment for the 1960s and early 1970s. Doomsday predictions didn’t come true about ICBMs either.
And are you going to limit your beef consumption to free range steers from the nearest Amish farm, until the "free market" finds technical solutions to all the problems I mentioned?
No. It's easier and cheaper and better for everyone to just discount environmentalist doomsday prophesies.
Worst trend of 2017: people being jerks, having nothing but negativity to offer, but still taking up eveyon's attention with their useless noise. Especially in regard to political bullshit.
New Years Resolution suggestion: shut up with your political shit and the rest of the negative nonsense. Have an answer that actually helps someone, even if it's only a vain reassurance of some sort. Or just be quiet sometimes. We're tired of the constant self-involved bitching.

No documentaries because they're mostly insufferable. Hey documentary makers: if your topic really is so interesting then you can stop hitting the audience over the head with how fucking interesting it is every fucking 30 seconds. And if you have stunning visuals of nature, have the narrator shut the fuck up for a few seconds and just let us appreciate what we're seeing.
Even at the cost of destroying land, generating large amounts of a powerful greenhouse gas, draining aquifers in arid areas to give them water, packing them so tightly in factory farms they're knee deep in their own waste - what isn't there for a conservative to love here?
We put a man on the moon. We can have beef. If there are problems we can solve them.
There's no need to believe enviro-religious doomsday stories. The stories that actually come true are the ones where people had a problem and then engineers and others tried very hard and found a way to solve it. Y2K, peak oil, population bomb, Manhattan project, The Cold War, Apollo 11, smallpox iradication, Sovaldi, hyper loop, artificial intelligence, LED lighting, etc., etc., etc.
Lions don't know better, nor do they have any other food options, being obligate carnivores with smallish brains and massive teeth and claws. Humans do know better and are not obligate carnivores.
Not interested in your silly hairsplitting. A hungry man and a hungry lion have the same motive, they take the same action, they have the same guilt for their actions.
If a lion isn't evil for eating an animal, a man isn't.
People should eat what they want. They want beef, they pay for beef, they should get beef.
What kind of world asks people to accept a sad substitute for real food? Why should we all agree to lead impoverished lives, generation after generation, forever?
So we can go to environmentalist heaven? I'd rather not.
Or perhaps it has to do with the race of those immigrants? You do realize that 61.4% of all immigrants in San Jose are from Asia, and Asians have some of the lowest crime rates
To be fair, anyone of any race can decide not to commit crimes. Culture matters more than every other factor combined. Even liberals know this -- that's why they aren't telling their kids to get pregnant at 14, drop out of school, and start shooting heroin.

...it will eventually try to satisfy big money by acting as a propoganda vessel.
"Big money" doesn't control the readers. Propaganda doesn't sell unless you're telling the readers what they want to hear.
If they were still for boys they might not be in decline.

It sure is a mystery what's going on.
Math says you're treating Slashdot readers wrong and it's making the internet worse for all of us.
Real science doesn't label critics as “deniers”. Politics in the name of science does that.
That's when keeping the faith is most important. Any religious leader knows that.
Just tired of all types of haters making the world worse for everyone. Why does Slashdot cater to them?
It's not about me, genius. This story posting is simply dumb — someone complained about a building — who fucking cares? We need less crap like this.
Please stop letting haters lead the conversation.

To develop ICBM's ...

Agreed. Legion is amazing. I forgot that was this year. Also The Defenders is good.

We have the 2nd Amendment. I think we'll be ok.

Judging can be though. A benevolent judge wouldn't condemn a hungry lion, doing what comes naturally to thrive and sustain himself and his family.
the benign and omniscient government officials know better, what you should eat
Ruling from atop their sacred food pyramid?
Lions don't know better, nor do they have any other food options, being obligate carnivores with smallish brains and massive teeth and claws. Humans do know better and are not obligate carnivores.
Using a double standard to judge is unjust.
Not interested in your silly hairsplitting. A hungry man and a hungry lion have the same motive, they take the same action, they have the same guilt for their actions.
If a lion isn't evil for eating an animal, a man isn't.
If meat is murder, then lions are mass murderers. Who will bring justice to the savanna?
If lions aren't evil, then no carnivore is evil.
People should eat what they want. They want beef, they pay for beef, they should get beef.

One again proving that socialism can only succeed in Europe and is disastrous outside Europe. Learn from history people.
No, just having a little fun with someone pretentious.
