Incredible. After being criticized ruthlessly for decades about bullying other countries and interfering where we're not wanted, suddenly withdrawing from the world is a BAD thing. WTF? How did this happen? Are we in Bizarro World? People are lamenting the fact that America isn't going to dominate the world any more? That's what you WANTED, you assholes!
The US government is not a decent government. It's not playing the cynic, it's fact-checking. If you get your news from some source that claims the US government is decent, you're reading fake news. Decent governments do not bomb peaceful countries, have drone murder programs, and take care of their lesser people. The US government does none of these things. The horror clowns are the last, desperate reaction of the American people in late-stage capitalism before the whole thing collapses. And that day can't come soon enough.
I hit a nerve, eh? Yeah it's true, women are more aggressive and masculine than ever. This translates directly into being less attractive to men. It sucks. Turns out, men don't want a woman who will really challenge them. That's the last thing men want.
Women won't marry a robot because women need emotional attachment. Men just want physical satisfaction and the optical pleasure of a good-looking woman. Men's senses are easily fooled by robots. Women? Well I'm not saying it's going to happen but it will be a lot longer until a robot husband can give women the kind of emotional fulfillment they desire.
Let's not even get in to the dark needs that women actually have. The ideal robo-husband is going to make demands of her and do all sorts of non-consensual things to her. Yikes, let's ignore this part without comment.
But Turkey voted for this. This isn't some crazy despot, it's the will of the people. Islamic countries want to live under Islamic laws. Freedom of Speech is an imported concept from the West, along with racism, homophobia, xenophobia, and all the other issues that Trump successfully ran on.
Perhaps it's best to consider the period of 1920-2010 as an aberration in Turkish history. Now Turkey is merely regressing to the mean, as it was always going to do.
Meh, it's not the marriage bots we need to worry about. It's the sexbots. Within 10 years there will be robots that are good enough to satisfy most of a man's needs. They'll be kind, forgiving, sweet, feminine, encouraging - pretty much the opposite of today's woman who has to make it in a man's world. This will have gargantuan effects on our society. Men will save up for their sexbot, and afterwards drop off the grid. Some men will buy shares in a company that rotates the sexbots once a week, some will buy several, and some will buy one for a wife replacement like in the article.
Early last week, while the political world was waiting for Hillary Clinton to address the moral, diplomatic, and technological questions posed by her e-mail habits, the United Nations issued a report asserting that more than one in three women experience sexual or physical violence in their lifetimes. One in ten females under the age of twenty is subjected to âoeforced sexual acts.â In more than thirty countries, it is not illegal for men to beat their wives. In the United States, eighty-three per cent of girls between twelve and sixteen confront sexual harassment in school. Even the earnest bureaucrats of the U.N., who tend to favor euphemism and skip over cruelties like honor killings and âoecorrective rape,â could not help but label the rate and the variety of mayhem regularly exacted upon half of humankind as âoealarmingly high.â
Sexbots will put an end to most of this. Women worldwide will welcome the sexbot revolution as it will mean much less abuse, much less sexual harassment, much less rape. They will finally be able to ditch the unwanted chore of sexually satisfying undesirable men. Permanently. There are thirty million undesirable men in China who will remain lifelong virgins, celibate as monks despite the fact that they really, really want not to be. Sexbots will give these men a chance at happiness, and women will thank them for it. If sexbots mean a single woman doesn't get acid thrown in her face for rejecting an undesirable man, then it's all worth it.
Nah, if they lie about it then their visa can be revoked and they can be sent back home, where their hatred of America may be indulged without risk to our own people.
Barack Obama backs and approves of Nazis in Ukraine, who candidate Hillary was planning on further arming. She was backed and approved-of by Henry Kissinger and Dick Cheney, who are worse than any living Nazi by any measure.
The FAA is *doing its job*. Far too many federal agencies see it as their duty to interfere with society instead of do the job they were founded to do. Apply for an FAA permit, and they award or deny the permit by looking at the facts of the case, not the color of your skin. That's what everyone means by rational and hands-off.
The fact that many white women voted for Trump shows how embedded misogyny is in western society. They chose a man who ridiculed and insulted women, faced multiple allegations of sexual assault, and whose campaign was thrown into disarray following a recording of him bragging about groping women's genitals and speaking about women as "it" in disgusting and vile terms.
Presented with the safest and most of familiar kind of white, older, liberal feminism in the form of Clinton, white women still chose a misogynist - like slaves fluffing the pillows of their master's rocking chair on his porch as he shouts abuse at them. This is not just internalised misogyny, but also a reluctance to forsake white privilege over respect for their own gender.
People of colour did not mostly vote for a racist, but white women mostly voted for a misogynist. Both bigotries are intertwined: 94 per cent of black women voted for Clinton; among white Republican women, 91 per cent voted for Trump.
Well, China is using protectionism quite successfully to employ their people and give an advantage to their country. I thought it didn't work! Now they're "relaxing" the law. Of course, there are no specifics, and Chinese laws are notorious for being interpreted on the spot by local officials. Five cities have five different ways of implementing the exact same law.
I guess it's just weird for me, as an American, to see a national government helping its people. Even if it's with a non-working idea like protectionism. I'm just used to, for example, being told by our First Lady that she had never been proud of our country, and she has lost all hope in our country. I just assume without thinking that every government in the world is like this. It's a shock to the system to see a government like China's appear to actually make moves to benefit their own people.
Hi, we were talking about facebook? Trump Derangement Syndrome strikes again. OK, I'll bite.
Trump's unexpected election victory has created a series of dilemmas for news organizations, beyond the fact that almost all of them got so much wrong. Trust in media was already declining at an alarming rate. One hardly reestablishes trust by being consistently and repeatedly in error, in an endless number of stories spread over a substantial period of time. One particular dilemma is especially vexing: what are "responsible" and "serious" news organizations to say when Trump implements policies they abhor, but Trump insists that he relies on precedents established by the Obama administration to justify those policies? What are they to say when Trump's appeal to Obama administration precedents is obviously true? My, my, vexing indeed.
Most of the press and media however seem to be total rookies, because they consistently get everything about Trump wrong. Trump will never recover from this controversy, Trump will never recover from that controversy, Trump will never win the primaries, Trump will never be the GOP nominee, Trump will never flip any Blue states, Trump will never beat Clinton, Trump has a less than 10% chance of winning the election, Trump's Taiwan call will destroy relations with China and so on and so on.
The same pundits whose predictions have been repeatedly wrong about Trump for over a year, aren't exactly the most reliable source in terms of predicting what Trump will do and what will happen once he's done it.
"In order to raise children with equality, we must take them away from families and communally raise them."

This is a feminazi. I can't believe you're so ignorant as to be unaware of these horrid deplorable people and their malignant beliefs. I also notice you very quickly react with venom and hate for the dissident. Enjoying making people feel like shit is another characteristic of the feminazi. You ever look at yourself to see what you look like from the outside?
"Also, as a rule of thumb, if you find yourself defending your inalienable right to make someone else feel like garbage, you're on the wrong side of the argument."

Roads introduce many problems to nature. For instance, they interrupt gene flow in animal populations, facilitate the spread of pests and diseases, and increase soil erosion and the contamination of rivers and wetlands. Then there is the free movement of people made possible by road development in previously remote areas, which has opened these areas up to severe problems such as illegal logging, poaching and deforestation. Most importantly, roads trigger the construction of further roads and the subsequent conversion of natural landscapes, a phenomenon the study labels "contagious development."
Do you really not understand how this is left-wing environmentalist misanthropism? If not, I recommend reading it again, paying special attention to the part about "Roads introduce many problems to nature" and where it compares roads to a disease with "contagious development". Seriously, I do not understand how you are pretending to miss the clear meaning here. You know, people would take environmentalists a lot better if you people weren't so full of hate for the rest of us all the time.
So sick of this. China isn't going to be "world's greatest power" any time soon. It's just longing for America to get knocked off due to envy and hate. China has zero soft power, and will not have any due to government control of their culture. China has almost zero global power, they are hemmed in behind several defense lines. Their shenanigans in the South China Sea are a pinprick in the first line of defense. They made history recently when one of their ships visited the Black Sea.
"Handing the baton" bullshit. China is run by engineers. You couldn't start a war with them if you tried. Fundamentally China looks inwards, its very name means "center of the world" (not that stupid literal translation "middle kingdom") and honestly they don't care about crusading for peace or any of that crap that requires them to meddle in other countries' elections. In their eyes they are the only civilized country in the world and the rest of us are barbarians. Extremely clever barbarians to be sure, but nonetheless none of us are Chinese or will ever be Chinese.
They're not building up a financial cushion. They're going to steal the money later in the usual way: paying for services they don't need. If you think Wikipedia is somehow above greed because of reasons, they're human. Humans suck. Don't be naive.
One of the reasons a vow of poverty is so powerful and gives so much moral credibility is because you put your money where your mouth is. It doesn't mean live in poverty, it just means live according to what you need. After all, when need arises the good people won't let you down. Instead Wikipedia is just building up a big pile of money, which stinks. Money is like manure, you have to spread it around to do any good.
Black people producing unfit offspring susceptible to diseases and insanity was one of the arguments in favor of eugenics, Heinrich. It sounds like something the KKK would say circa 1924. If you're unaware of your own dark history then your deplorable people are condemned to repeat it.
Your "da gubbmint is bad, where's MUH CONSTITUTION" rant is so hilarious, grandpa. Is it time for your militia meeting yet? Don't forget to bring your M-16 and this time you don't get the bullets after you accidentally shot that kid last time. Be sure to blame Obama, and your medication is on the table. Be back in time to watch Alex Jones' latest Pizzagate update at 6!
OK well if you just want to redefine words, you can try that, but don't be surprised when people are baffled by what you post. The epithet snowflake has a generally recognized meaning and it involves campus leftists. Uber isn't even a person, it's a company. At least make the charge to people who work for Uber.
Before the election, Trump was screaming that the process was rigged. Obama ripped him for it and demanded to see proof.
After the election, Obama is screaming that the process was rigged, and nobody is demanding to see proof.
If the election really was rigged by a foreign power, where was the White House before the election? Why didn't they take steps to stop it, up to and including drastic measures? After all, it was to stop a second Hitler. Why not pull out all the stops?
In the words of the immortal Inigo Montoya: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Snowflakes are easily offended leftists who rage whenever someone disagrees with their political opinions. Uber is pretty much the opposite. They're going to barge forward with what they're doing until they get slapped down, and then they get right back up and do it again.
That's laughably naive of you. Where'd you learn that, high school? That's not the point of government. The point of government is to steal as much money as you can by manipulating it in your favor. See: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and the rest of the DC Establishment.

Just go across the bay to Oakland. Find a neighborhood where all the houses have burglar bars. Walk around for a while until you get attacked.
