Poe's law makes this one hard to call, but... since this is/. and not Tumblr I'm going to say intentional trolling rather than espousing earnestly held beliefs.
Plaintiffs bring this individual and class action on behalf of themselves and on behalf of a class and subclasses defined as all employees of Google discriminated against (i) due to their perceived conservative political views by Google in California at any time during the time period beginning four years prior to the filing of this Complaint through the date of trial in this action (“Political Class Period”); (ii) due to their male gender by Google in California at any time during the time period beginning one year prior to the filing of this Complaint through the date of trial in this action (“Gender Class Period”); and/or (iii) due to their Caucasian race by Google in California at any time during the time period beginning one year prior to the filing of this Complaint through the date of trial in this action (“Race Class Period”) (Political Class Period, Gender Class Period, and Race Class Period referred to collectively, as “Class Periods”).
Also, characterizing Google as "mostly white men" ignores the substantial proportion of Asians there.
Your point appeared to be what you said - namely, "Obama crushed OWS at the federal level". NYC didn't let OWS protest in those in public parks because they weren't following city ordinances, not federal ones. Moreover, since you directly referenced camping on public land, I thought you'd want to know that hadn't happened.
The bulk of OWS was in NYC. UC Davis students did a thing, and again, local cops shut them down. OWS had more than one location, but it wasn't widespread enough to be "nationwide", and local cops responding certainly isn't an action of the federal government.
I hope you're okay with that violence being used against you in return. Because if you make it open season on Nazis, pretty soon it'll be open season on communists and other leftists too. And by the way, saying that you shouldn't physically attack vile people for sharing their vile views doesn't make you a sympathizer. It means you understand how to actually make progress and you're confident enough in your viewpoint that you don't need to shut all others down.
If it was a left-winger who changed things and right-wingers were this upset, you know racism would be invoked as one reason why. I agree it's arguing in bad faith, and it's not really helping things, but it's always funny to point out hypocrisy.
I can't think of a single steak house that allows - let alone encourages - you to drink an animal's blood. Now sure, it's kind of a dick move to bring a vegan to a steakhouse if it's supposed to be for everyone (assuming you knew they're a vegan).
Maybe you're in medicine overall, but there's no way you're in gene therapy if you think you can make enough clinical-grade vector for human eyes with $500. It costs my lab several thousand dollars for enough research-grade vector to do a basic mouse experiment.
Most of the basic research for this was done at the University of Pennsylvania, a private university, and funding was mixed between public and private money. In addition, if you think the basic research is all the hard work, you know next to nothing about setting up, running, and analyzing clinical trials.
I mean, the US definitely should condemn Saudi Arabia more, but there aren't exactly protests going on there right now, are there? It makes sense that the US would focus its attention on places where encouragement might make a difference.
Supporting protestors and saying people want human rights is so incredibly different from leading up to an invasion. Maybe take a step back and remove the partisan hatred.
OWS demonstrators were cleared off of private land, not public. The owners of the park had every right to remove people, especially when they were breaking the rules the owner set out (no tents, etc.) and making the park totally unsanitary.
What's more, clearing people off of land is far different from running them over or shooting them dead in the street.
Yeah, the US should definitely just ignore people who want human rights and democracy. FFS, it's not like Trump's saying he's going to invade, just that he supports their mission.
No, but it does mean we as a society should think really carefully about when, how, and how often it's used. The more the use of a technique becomes normalized, the more easy it is to abuse if someone bad comes into power.
Pointing out totalitarian tendencies isn't inherently aggressive, and GP certainly wasn't being totalitarian. Everything else you wrote is just you masturbating your own ego.
None of the cures for sickle cell that are in the works right now will be heritable, and some of the sickling hemoglobin will still be produced. And frankly, for an individual, it's better to not have sickle cell and be less resistant to malaria, even if heterozygotes have some protection.
The total cost isn't likely to be much different in other places, but the proportion paid by the individual (or their family, since it's a degenerative disease and early treatment is best) will definitely vary by country.

Where does race factor in to what Damore said in his memo? What evidence do you have that he "was abusing other employees because they weren't white"?

Sex and race are protected classes, yes.
He had passed it around to other employees before putting it into wider circulation, IIRC.

Trump losing the popular vote is kind of irrelevant when talking about people who expected Hillary to lose.

This drug doesn't use CRIPSR. This has been in development for about 15 years, which is far longer than CRIPSR has been used by scientists.

OWS wasn't camping on public land - that park was private property.

Why is Monero more useful than Bitcoin?
Competent police would seek to contain the situation until they worked out what was going on, get a negotiator, trained snipers etc.
Sure, no argument here - the police should definitely have handled this better. But then you wrote...
Of course the guy in the door was black so never let a chance go by.
This guy looks black to you?
Do you have a source for that?
No, but it does mean we as a society should think really carefully about when, how, and how often it's used. The more the use of a technique becomes normalized, the more easy it is to abuse if someone bad comes into power.
