you're not arguing against a system, you're arguing against the reality of human nature
your thoughts are invalid because you imagine the solution to our problems is to just make people behave in a new way. a way humans never did behave, and never will
you need to make peace with certain ugly aspects of reality you currently reject or unaware of. then put forth solutions that work within those confines. currently you criticize me. that's called shooting the messenger. i'm not supporting the ugly status quo you dislike. i dislike the status quo too. but i realize there is no changing certain ugly aspects of human reality, while you imagine i'm some fool who supports the ugliness
you think that you're some brave soul fighting a nefarious system, when in reality you're just a social retard who doesn't understand basic human nature
you don't matter to what you care about. because you don't understand the topic you inject your ignorance into
if only human beings didn't behave like human beings always have and always will, the world would be a better place
thanks for the dumbfucking obvious observation
but, at some point, perhaps you would actually like to try solve the actual fucking problem, *working within the actual fucking parameters of reality*: the human condition
if you have money to spend you influence media, which influences' people's attitudes. people don't derive attitudes in a free will vacuum. they hear positive things about candidates, paid for by the candidates, and they gravitate to those candidates. or they hear negative things about the actually better candidate, because the attacks are paid for, and they gravitate to the plutocrat's stooge. so the tendency to have a lot of money results in the tendency to win elections
welcome to reality
now try to form an actually valid and intelligent opinion, rather than your know-nothing purposeful intellectual dishonesty, or outright low intelligence ignorance
the donations of a few rich plutocrats who siphon their cash from technology companies does not represent the tech industry's views or opinions, not in aggregate, not even a significant minority bloc of opinions
larry ellison? really? shouldn't we say he represents yacht buyer's political donations? that's much more accurate
japan is a dying country because they have no immigrants. look at the statistics about how many elderly japanese they are going to have with so few young japanese supporting them. the japanese attitude on immigration is nothing to admire, it is in fact something to pity. to see xenophobia so strong that so many japanese would rather their country slowly shrivel and die. it's pathetic sick racist self-destructive and weak. frankly, korean people are pretty much identical to japanese genetically, so the hate against koreans is just moronic
as for your attitude on hard working immigrants, i would like to know your background. if it isn't native american, why don't you fuck off with your ignorant hypocrisy and go to europe. many of the mexican immigrants have aztec mayan and other native american bloodlines far closer to the original inhabitants here, and so as a racial argument that is so popular with social retards like yourself, have more right to be here than you
btw, if your ancestors were italian or irish, they got exactly the same thuggy hysterical racist hate you heap on mexicans
if you endorse civil forfeiture, you really should educate your ignorance of the kind of abuse that has played out with that applied to american citizens. with noncitizens, that abuse will probably get far worse, and just force them to stash their money with mexican mafias. thereby actually creating the crime you and your low iq propaganda tries to pin on these hard working people
I am just waiting for the day we get some leaders with some balls who will completely dismantle the democrat plantation in all of its forms.
the demographics are clear and the nation is trending democratic. so why don't you hurry up and die with the rest of your old knuckledragging retard friends
fighting fights from 50, 100, 150 years ago that were already lost with previous waves of immigrants that are now called "true american"
btw, my WASP ancestors came over in the 1600s to new england. fought in king philips war, being scapled by native americans and scalping native americans
that's my legacy. and so according to the "logic" of you racist mouth breathers that makes me a "real american"
so granted this fake authority by your loser thought processes, i make the following judgment on you and your ilk: a guy 15 minutes off the plane from somalia or bangladesh or ecuador, if they have a positive outlook and a tolerant attitude, they therefore embody the real american spirit and real american ideals, and i embrace them as fellow real americans
rather than some "entitled* racist shitbag who thinks he's special because his bitch mother shit you out on in dirt called american, just so you could begin your life of feeling superior for false, ignorant reasons. i wouldn't want to deport you, so you could ruin some other poor country with your dim brain wattage, so perhaps you could be dumped in the marianas trench or some such, apologies to south pacific nations for the stink of your useless stupid corpse
you're simply not an american in my eyes
i mean that with every fiber of my being
you have no fucking clue what real american ideals are
all you have is whiny entitlement (ironically, considering right wing talking points on that concept)
yup. it's like the church pastor who is caught having a gay affair, smoking meth, or committing adultery. a large number of his congregation will deny it, defend him, and attack the accuser. "slut, blackmailer, out destroy a good man because the devil" etc.
welcome to the human condition: too many tribal partisan morons with closed minds who don't want their precious, erroneous, beliefs challenged
"there is no sexual harassment, rape, or abuse, and all cases of it can be ignored. because i found a retard on tumblr who takes things too far, that's why"
because there are many sexists and misogynists on slashdot, and in life
there is such a thing as false charges of rape. but actual rape greatly outnumbers false charges of rape
but hear it according to the prejudices of sexist people, such as many comments here, and the discussion is immediately about fake rape charges. there is no thought or consideration to the more likely possibility the girl was actually raped. because that possibility goes against their misogyny. they have to reinforce their hate. so all of the "she's faking it" information-free comments get voted up and discussed. without the slightest shred of actually looking into the case and possibly discovering that there is solid evidence of rape
many people, as the comments in this thread show, are prejudicial assholes and morons, and don't think before opening their blind ignorant mouths, to pass shallow judgment on situations they don't know, and don't try to know, just so they can preserve their ignorance, hate, and prejudice
it's a window onto the souls of some people around you, as you can see in many of the comments here, some people are hardcore shitbags
when you control the delicate personal details of millions of people, you are held to a standard far and above that of a corner deli manager managing shoplifting
the owners are not going to get 0% blame, ever. you provide top notch security. or heads roll, period. it's not as deadly as a nuclear power plant, but that's more the direction you should be thinking in terms of security, way way above and beyond this "bad guys do bad things, oh well (shrug)" bullshit lack of proper accountability you are trying to push here for some retarded reason
you refer to hypothetical situations, yet you are willing to give the hackers 100% of the blame already
why are you so quick to rush to relieve the owners of any blame? you have an agenda and a prejudice. you have recused yourself, you have lost all credibility to properly allot blame
and if you say i am the same, i was the one saying the hackers are not innocent, before you jumped in with your prejudice and curious desire to deflect all blame from the owners
i specifically said the hackers aren't innocent. do you see your prejudice at work in your statement when go from "deserve full" condemnation... because it "may have been" an inside job? your own words betray your uncertainty while you jump to full judgment
regardless, when you store the sensitive personal information of millions, you have assumed a heavy responsibility. including keeping close tabs on your employees. carefully vetting them, making sure they are happy, and quickly getting rid of them if indicate malice
the owners of this company cannot escape any culpability here, no matter what the final story
there are economics professors who can't balance their checkbook
there are classical musicians who don't know anything about pop music
there are constitutional lawyers who don't know anything about basic social decency and fairness
yes, on the topic of capitalism and markets you can a fucking retarded propagandized moron, while being a gifted lawyer, or programmer, or whatever
in fact, it's often the case that people with very high iqs in limited domains are fucking retards on social issues like politics and economics. because you can play 12 games of chess in your head or manipulate complex topological shapes or memorize a dictionary doesn't mean you know how to talk to a girl, have friends, or articulate a coherent economic or political philosophy
in fact, it's often the case that this limited aspergers/ autistic style intelligence in a small mathematical domain fills people, like yourself, with a false confidence about being intelligent in all domains. when in fact, on topics that require social intelligence, which they actually severely lack, they are fucking laughable idiots
a guy on the street, who deals drugs, and never passed the fifth grade, can have a hell of a lot more social intelligence, and understand these issues better, than some cloistered, sheltered asperger's fuck who thinks he's so fucking smart, when he only has a bright flashlight beam in a dark room: only one small corner is bright
the rest of us have turned the switch on in the mental room and are firing on all cylinders, and are actually intelligent on these topics, you autistic social retard
i have found another way. work within the parameters of a fallible human nature
your "way" is to insist we all become saints first
you're a moron. socially retarded. not a baseless insult, an objective description of the quality of your "thinking" on this topic
you want us to transcend the seven deadly sins to achieve our goals
ok, got it
why do i even bother responding to these socially retarded wackjobs?
you're not arguing against a system, you're arguing against the reality of human nature
your thoughts are invalid because you imagine the solution to our problems is to just make people behave in a new way. a way humans never did behave, and never will

you think that you're some brave soul fighting a nefarious system, when in reality you're just a social retard who doesn't understand basic human nature
you don't matter to what you care about. because you don't understand the topic you inject your ignorance into
ah yes, the problem is human nature itself
if only human beings didn't behave like human beings always have and always will, the world would be a better place
thanks for the dumbfucking obvious observation
but, at some point, perhaps you would actually like to try solve the actual fucking problem, *working within the actual fucking parameters of reality*: the human condition
then the crap you spew might be worth something
if you have money to spend you influence media, which influences' people's attitudes. people don't derive attitudes in a free will vacuum. they hear positive things about candidates, paid for by the candidates, and they gravitate to those candidates. or they hear negative things about the actually better candidate, because the attacks are paid for, and they gravitate to the plutocrat's stooge. so the tendency to have a lot of money results in the tendency to win elections

you speak with such authority
too bad you don't have any

do you care that a website you don't visit has ads?
does it make you angry that a store in a strip mall 3 states away from you that you never visit, leaves their christmas tree lights up all year?
no, i know
they are very ancient though, the cambrian
makes you wonder if perhaps they are precambrian and they had some guests in their gut...
ok, i'll stop now ;-)
so be ready to pay for the sites you like
resistant to heat, cold, vacuum, desiccation, radiation, pressure, toxins, etc.

you realize they could leave earth (ejecta from a sever impact) and colonize other planets
then you think... wait a second, maybe we're here because these guys colonized earth
The letter of the law and the spirit of the law are separate concepts.
The laws are often written where vague terminology, grey areas, and wiggle room can be extended or limited according to whim.
I do hope she gets the records another way, that satisfies all of the legal snags, real and ridiculously interpreted.
Even better if the Secretary helps Beth do that. Right?
But if another attempt results in another overly aggressive block, maybe you should stop defending the corrupt and believing their lies.
It's a security hit on wealthy men in rich countries.
so it gets more notice
it's not like just another gun murder in a poor ghetto, which is actually shocking and a shame about our era that we consider that normal
when you control the delicate personal details of millions of people, you are held to a standard far and above that of a corner deli manager managing shoplifting

i'm not that smart. there is plenty i don't know
i'm just smarter than you
you refer to hypothetical situations, yet you are willing to give the hackers 100% of the blame already
why are you so quick to rush to relieve the owners of any blame? you have an agenda and a prejudice. you have recused yourself, you have lost all credibility to properly allot blame
and if you say i am the same, i was the one saying the hackers are not innocent, before you jumped in with your prejudice and curious desire to deflect all blame from the owners
wow, that's a first. i'm getting psychological projection about the accusation of psychological projection
that's one hell of a pit
