LOL, Hillary's rioters. As if anybody believes that right-wing narrative about them being paid protesters whose competence is...nil?
The comment you replied to said nothing about paid protestors, just that there were people rioting for Hillary. There certainly were riots after the election - not very many, mind you, but a few.
We could cut down on nuclear construction costs pretty significantly if we just simplified the requirements, particularly in terms of delaying construction. Newer plants can't fail the same way Fukushima did. Wind and solar have made tremendous - and surprising - gains, and they are here to stay, for sure. But nuclear could be a good option as well.
Are you saying non-European cultures didn't try the exact same thing? Also, lumping all of Europe together is pretty silly; there are significant differences between many European cultures.
I don't think it's accurate to say housing should never exceed inflation. It should if, for instance, there's a significant increase in the quality of dwellings that are newly built, or it becomes much easier to refit older buildings to gain significant advantages. In most cases, you're right though - it shouldn't exceed inflation for very long, or there are consequences.
I really don't like Trudeau, but I also can't really fault him for this. It's encouraging education, especially self-driven education, which is actually pretty cool.
And Trump gained some support from people who disliked that system, and thought - rightly or wrongly - that he'll do something about it. I suspect there will be some changes - the GOP didn't really want Trump, so they may change how their primaries work, and the DNC may be realizing that pushing a candidate through isn't the best idea - but I doubt Trump himself will do any of it.
The practice was started in 1996. Mind you, there's no mention of ACORN funding, nor any reason to suggest that ACORN funding was received, but the fact that it stopped existing six years ago doesn't by itself disprove any involvement it had in starting up a business that's been around for 20 years.
If you're overheating in a car, break a window. Much better than, you know, dying. Similarly, if the car is parked, the chances of falling into the water are really slim.
That's like saying that HIV vaccines are impossible because most people don't control the virus naturally. And yet, some do. There are efforts to figure out how those people do it, and engineer a way to direct the immune systems of non-controllers to take the same steps. Maybe most rhinoviruses have a common flaw, but it's not an immunodominant epitope. It's not as simple as you make it out to be.
You're free to use that instead, then. Just don't cry when your leukemia doesn't respond. Or when you catch any vaccine-preventable disease. And don't use any modern surgical technique or anesthesia either.
Net worth goes up over time due to good investing, oh no. Investing in a company that does things you don't like doesn't mean you support those things; indeed, one of the more effective ways to change a company (if you're rich enough) is to become a large shareholder.
I guess I wasn't clear. I was saying that the people who are currently protesting, and didn't vote because they assumed she would win, should have still voted for local stuff.

I agree that making fun of people who deny even the basic principles of climate change is fun, but there was nothing particularly alt-right about the post.
Yep. No excitement for her, plus the media telling everyone she had a 80%+ chance to win anyways... At that point, lukewarm supporters could justify not voting to themselves, since she'll win anyway, right? Now, of course, that doesn't explain why they didn't vote for local stuff, but...

It's a bullshit term.
Yes, the system definitely wants to make people poor, violent and stupid. That always leads to stability!

Men are far more likely to be victims of assault. Not a great argument there, bud.

You want to help radicalize someone? This is how you do it.
The fire will help dry it/you out faster after the rain. It's a feature, not a bug!

Re-read that comment.
That's fair. I'd be tempted to get it, but I wouldn't support mandatory vaccination for it.
You made absolutely no argument there. Some points were made, but you didn't address them at all.

Yeah, corporations would just *hate* to make money off of this, and they just love it when their employees take sick days. /s

That claim doesn't make you a centrist.
I never said it did. My opinions make me a centrist, not my claim. I'm really not sure why you argued against a point I didn't make.
Ha, well played, and thanks!
