because benghazi and the emails are fucking jokes. she didn't do a damn thing wrong in benghazi. she did do something wrong with the emails. but it's a minor fucking thing, and the republicans treat it like she handed top of the line drones to north korea. it's such a pile of trumped up bullshit. just like with planned parenthood: lies, edited footage to suggest different meaning, pictures of unrelated miscarriages. they even tried to plead the fifth when the original footage was asked for! all to try to get rid of an organization focused on women's health, and isn't even legally able to use federal money for abortions. the republicans are pretty pathetic in how they substitute deranged outrage for reality. do they think they fool anyone besides some low iq hysterical grandma?
and sanders beats hillary (not impossible, she's weak, bland, uninspiring... i'm not sure why republicans get so upset about her, it's not possible to feel great hate nor love for someone so boring)
sanders can't beat a rubio (i don't know why, but people have a thing for plastic liars in suits, the man is a lizard)
but sanders can beat a trump
can you imagine a president sanders? i would weep for joy
What I am saying is that you dont have the right to tell others how to live there life or how to run there business just because you want to go there.
exactly
like smoking or vaping. you're telling people "smell my shit, deal with it." what the fuck gives you the right?
what's odd is your blindness in thinking that telling someone to stop imposing their smelly shit on other people... is the actual initial imposition, somehow
you think telling someone to stop smoking or vaping is a limit on freedom, but you don't think the smell of that cancerous shit is a limit on freedom?
that's some amazing blindness, low intelligence, and/ or willful selfish disregard, you social retard
either way, you genuinely have no fucking clue what freedom is. you think the concept applies only to you, and no one else. this makes you a selfish, stupid piece of shit. not an empty insult, an objective description of your low intelligence "opinion," such as it is. you genuinely are not anyone who loves or understands what freedom is. really, that's the ironclad truth, as evidenced in your words. you're just an irresponsible, immature, selfish douchebag. i feel sorry for people who have to deal with your toxic self-serving bullshit in real life. stop talking about freedom. it has nothing to do with who you are and what you think. nothing at all
i can't imagine anyone honestly believes they have the right to impose on the freedom of others
but apparently he does, and you can't even keep track of the fucking subject matter. i suppose you're the real troll, or genuinely a stupid person, considering this thread
Over 40 phylogenetically and metabolically diverse microorganisms capable of growth via perchlorate reduction have been isolated since 1996. Most originate from the Proteobacteria but others include the Firmicutes, Moorella perchloratireducens and Sporomusa sp., and the archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus.[10][11] With the exception of A. fulgidus, all known microbes that grow via perchlorate reduction utilize the enzymes perchlorate reductase and chlorite dismutase, which collectively take perchlorate to innocuous chloride.[10] In the process, free oxygen (O2) is generated and this is one of only a handful of biological processes to generate oxygen aside from photosynthesis.[10]
future trips could have an electronic "nose" that follows any oxygen gradients, perhaps finding archaic bacteria making O2 on mars. imagine that!
or, alternatively, bring these earth bound archeobacteria perchlorate reducers, or just the enzyme, with you, and make salt water and oxygen at the same time
you do realize stupid and irresponsible people exist, right? it's not about a fucking philosophy you social retard, i'm describing a system of behavior without any conscious effort. people actually commit acts in your world without going "hmm, how do my current actions in this context relate to my overarching ideological motivation?"
it's a standard aspect of propaganda. it's why we have the term "half-truths": they are literally half the truth
if reality is:
"john shot david. david shot john back before he collapsed"
the propaganda will say:
"david shot john"
completely true. but completely without context, leading to erroneous conclusions about what happened. but better than a lie, because it's actually the truth (half).
truth taken in pieces is far superior to lies when manipulating pridefully ignorant minds
the only antidote to simpletons and morons is to have an open mind and an intellectual honesty that is willing to reconsider one's beliefs, if evidence suggests otherwise. the problem is all the loud useless morons out there who have their beliefs, fixed, and they will never reconsider them. they would rather have delusions and half truths that confirm their mistaken beliefs
the wisest man is certain he doesn't know everything
but not freedom according to an immature douchebag: "i can do whatever i want, damn the consequences", but an actual mature understanding of freedom: "i can do whatever i want, as long as it doesn't impinge on the freedoms of others"
unfortunately, those who whine about freedom ("freedumb") the most are the former category of people
genuine freedom is not always, not even mostly, destroyed by big bad evil government out to rape you because its a cartoon character and this is the only stereotypical denial of freedom most people understand. genuine freedom is actually mostly destroyed on a day-to-day basis in small ways by the immature shitbags around you, the ones who also whine the most about freedumb:
1. my freedom to get a good nights sleep, my neighbor's freedumb to blast music at 3 AM, 2. my freedom to enjoy my property, my neighbor's freedumb to have his dog shit and piss on my lawn, 3. my freedom to make it to work alive, some douchebag's freedumb to speed 95 mph, 4. and: my freedom to breathe clean air, some vaping or smoking asshole's freedumb to choke everyone around them with their poison
you, in your champioining of freedumb (the inability to understand you have no right to limit the freedom of other's in what you do), are on the same side of authoritarian governments and other freedom destroys. why do authoritarian government's limit freedom? because they are a cartoon character "let's destroy freedom because we hate it and we're an empty evil construct!"? no: they believe free speech about politics, or publications about human sexuality, or assembling to air grievances, is a grave threat to their hold on power, or even just society in general. in this way, they feel they have a right to deny freedom to others (inaccurately and unjustifiably)
likewise, you destroy freedom for your own lame, selfish reasons. you are what you hate: you are a freedom destroyer. but you're too fucking stupid to properly understand what freedom really is
clue for you: freedom does not exist anywhere in the world without a populace that also understands responsibility. for those retards in society who don't act responsibly, we need police and enforcement. not to destroy freedom with state employed goons just for fun and profit because we're empty cartoon characters who hate freedom because that is what is written in this bad movie script that you think somehow resembles reality. but so the rest of us can enjoy our freedom without douchebags and assholes like you poisoning us with carcinogenic smoke, killing us in car crashes, shitting on our lawns, or ruining our sleep
maybe if you grow your own or buy in a place that is legal. but illegal marijuana is cut with all sorts of crap that makes it far far worse than the crap tobacco companies put in cigarettes. dealers will cut marijuana with all sorts of shit. and i mean that literally:
illegal drugs are horrible to consume as you have zero accountability or responsibility for who put what in it. if something you buy at a store poisons you, you can go after the seller and/ or manufacturer. like this:
http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/21/... (tldr: company executive faked peanut tests, people died of salmonella poisoning, executive goes to jail for a long time)
in many ways, it's an argument for legalization/ decriminalization/ some sort of safe harbor provision so people aren't being killed by who knows what poison some asshole puts in their drugs. but until such time, you need to either grow your own, move to a place your drug of choice is legal, or find some sort of chain of distribution that you implicitly trust. but taking some pill some low life asshole you don't know says is {XYZ} is a way to get parkinson's disease, cancer, or violently ill
what kind of blows my mind is morons like yourself who rail against evil corporations and modern food growth and distribution, and then will eat/ smoke/ shoot some poison form some random douchebag who is a genuinely amoral asshole
really?
corporations do plenty of evil in the world, but drug dealer's are yet many many levels lower on that measure of integrity or sense of morals. why is that corporations get so much distrust form you, but some shitbag slinging drugs is someone you trust with chemicals you put in your body?
but i love him. he's tearing the republicans to pieces. tactically, he's ross perot on steroids
trump makes the democratic victory in 2016 inevitable, like ross perot did with clinton in 1992
my only truly fervent hope is sanders wins the nomination over clinton, and trump goes all the way to nomination. then sanders beats trump (sanders can't beat a rubio. but he can beat a trump)
i'm not really sure if you're angry that i cite the pope's frequent conversations on the environment as me "defining" conservationism (when it isn't even me doing that "defining", the pope is doing it, moron)
or if you're so fucking retarded you can't tell the difference between conservatism and conservationism
and it was a struggle for freedom? no, it was a struggle to deny freedom to others
"states rights..."
bullshit
look at every state's declaration for leaving the union. it all centered on slavery. "state's rights" is a lie told by revisionists and apologists too cowardly to accept the truth
i especially love it when assholes talk about the second amendment, first amendment, etc., in defense of the confederate flag. oh, you mean amendments from a country that your fucking flag represents the complete rejection of?
"as a real american..."
your fucking flag is treason and rejection of the usa, you fucking morons
flying the confederate flag is an announcement that you are literally and figuratively anti-american
the point is he speaks on the environment and the poor. both concerns are actually ancient principles of conservatism
since when did you hear a prominent conservative care about either thing?
never in the usa at least, empty lip service and bait-and-switch doesn't count. name one prominent conservative in the usa that, as an actual bedrock passion, that the poor and the environment is repeatedly emphasized?
not that they don't exist. they just aren't funded. the plutocrats and corporations select the obedient fake "conservatives" that can be used to bring in the votes, and then forgotten about, underpaid, and choked on pollution. because paying people well and not polluting costs money
Frankly I think the current Pope is a dangerous propaganda spewing fool. It would have been wiser to arrange a CIA hit, than invite him to speak to congress.
oh yeah, forgot that part. you're an asshole and a moron. not empty insults, you are these things objectively, based on such a comment. that somehow your comment currently stands at a 3 is only a testament to the quality of this site slipping
social conservatism is mostly hypocrisy and easy shallow judgment. faced with the same problems, all of those spouting holier-than-thou fire and brimstone would probably commit the same "sins". it's all about making yourself feel superior for reasons which are paper thin. social conservatism is a character defect: judge others in a do-as-i-say-not-as-i-do manner
and i love the current pope as he makes mincemeat of the propaganda plutocrats have successfully sold to conservative morons for years about the environment and the poor. of course, i don't like his stand on abortion and gay marriage, but i like the fact he shows the propagandized morons what actual conservatism really looks like: care and concern for the poor and the environment. true conservatism has more to do with bernie sanders than it does with the plutocrat loving bullshit the corporate propaganda channels have sold to the conservative retards. it costs money to pay for the crap they dump in our air and water, and it costs money to pay workers a decent wage. so rather than doing that, they'd rather sell conservaitives on perrenial wedge issues like abortion to ge them voting for them, then abandon them and pursue their agenda of robbing the conservative retards in their paycheck and polluting their air and water
i was going to say there is no compassion in conservatism, that anyone with actual compassion and a brain inevitably becomes a liberal, but that's not actually true. what is true is that the caring side of conservatism has been buried under corporate and plutocrat agendas. i look forward to a reawakening on the right in terms of social justice, actual care and concern for the poor, a long standing pillar of genuine conservatism. it's possible. i could just be blindly optimistic, but bernie sanders recently visited extremely conservative liberty university in virginia, and just came out of the gate with "we don't agree about abortion and gay marriage. now let's talk about income equality"
i'm rather hopelessly optimistic, but an awakening on the right about how they are being robbed and cheated blind by an agenda which uses them and doesn't give a shit about them would be wonderful
climate change denial is officially on the same footing as creationism, anti-vaxxers, obama birthers and 9/11 truthers:
a litmus test to find out if you're insane or not. for the rest of us to avoid the fuck out of you for you being a nutcase fruitcake, to believe in the solidly, clearly wrong
honestly, it's just not a big deal. of course it's wrong, but it's minor level crap. it's trumped up because people hate her. which is irrational hate because hillary is quite boring milquetoast, there's nothing to be upset about her or excited about her
furthermore, we do not need another clinton or bush in the white house. we do not want dynasty politics in the usa
personally, i'm rooting for sanders v trump. sanders can't beat a empty suit like rubio, too many americans are too stupid for their own good when it comes to style v substance. but sanders can beat a trump
how fucking wonderful would it be to have bernie sanders as our president?
Slashdot Mirror
because benghazi and the emails are fucking jokes. she didn't do a damn thing wrong in benghazi. she did do something wrong with the emails. but it's a minor fucking thing, and the republicans treat it like she handed top of the line drones to north korea. it's such a pile of trumped up bullshit. just like with planned parenthood: lies, edited footage to suggest different meaning, pictures of unrelated miscarriages. they even tried to plead the fifth when the original footage was asked for! all to try to get rid of an organization focused on women's health, and isn't even legally able to use federal money for abortions. the republicans are pretty pathetic in how they substitute deranged outrage for reality. do they think they fool anyone besides some low iq hysterical grandma?

you can't just make shit up and expect to sound credible
good luck to you crackpot
it does, thank you
you're changing the topic. a public space is a public space. not the middle of the prairie but, just like you said: restaurants, bars, malls, etc
i'll take the lame subject change as you conceding my point in an intellectually dishonest way
i can't imagine anyone honestly believes they have the right to impose on the freedom of others
but apparently he does, and you can't even keep track of the fucking subject matter. i suppose you're the real troll, or genuinely a stupid person, considering this thread

it's an ok troll. i give you 5 out 10. you tried hard, but it was overall weak and unconvincing
i give your troll 2/10
when crafting a good troll, you have to irrationally blame your target for choices that have something to do with them
you get 2 points for the obligatory feigned outrage
the issue is freedom, you're right
