It's all about trust. If you're from a trust based society, you don't think about trusting people. You just do, by default. This includes robots that you have been told are trustworthy.
On the other hand, if you're not from a trust based society, you consider it totally stupid that people would trust, well, anyone. The correct thing to do is to lie and cheat, because that's what everyone does. And here's the story. They trusted, therefore they're fucking morons.
Fun fact: until recently the USA was a trust based society. But there are still tons of adults who grew up under the old system, and they'll likely stay with this idee-fixee until they die.
This is why it's so easy to scam senior citizens. This is also why we shit all over them for falling for obvious scams. They just lack that internal meanness that makes them suspicious of everyone they meet of harboring ill intent. They would never harm a fly; why would anyone else?
The real reason to vote for Trump? The political establishment is, for the first time in decades, genuinely frightened. They didn't really mind Bush because he was one of their own. Bush was in Skull and Bones at Yale. You think good ol' boys from Texas get into Yale, much less Skull and Bones? No the Bushes were Yankee bluebloods. But Trump? Nope. He can't be counted on to do the right thing for the establishment and they are really scared for the first time in their lives. You have to understand, these people have been wrongdoing for decades and now they have the very real consequence of going to prison for their crimes. They are going to scream and fight like a 3 year old who has just had her marshmallow taken away. All the doomsayers? LOL like the USA isn't strong enough to withstand a populist one termer. We just had 8 years of a Marxist racist divider who despises the American people, and we're still here. 16 if you include Bu$hitler. The hysteria emanating from the corridors of power is like what happened when Chavez and Evo Morales were in real danger of being elected. And guess what: things turned out fine for the people of those nations. Less well for their elites, many of whom are now in prison for their crimes.
But they are lazy though. Ever had to deal with them professionally? Damn you can't get them to do their jobs. They take great pleasure in rubbing it in your face, too.
You could have tried walking 5 miles a day in the West. Fresh food is available as well. Nobody is putting a gun to your head and making you eat that Big Mac. You can say no.
Freedom and Liberty are our ideals, and humans are not going to live up to their ideals sometimes. Sometimes you need to get out the pitchforks and torches and start hanging traitors to our ideals.
I also like how you turned a discussion about China into yet another America Sucks rant. We certainly have been short on those lately on Slashdot. Thanks for making up the shortfall.
Slave labor? No. The journalist who reported that was outed as a fraud. He essentially wished it would be true, and then made up the story. The Western press ate it up...the retraction didn't get much press for obvious reasons.
The labor conditions in China are different, shock, horror. They don't comply with American laws for some bizarre reason. Calling it slave labor is stupid, but what can men do against such reckless hate?
Yes, but that is a single university, a unique one at that. This article is talking about widespread leftist trends on ALL American colleges. Plainly, BYU can't do that much damage even if they started wearing hammer-and-sickle armbands and started burning books. But this trend of suppressing free speech - it can and will destroy everything Western culture holds dear.
'Social normalization of deviance means that people within the organization become so much accustomed to a deviant behaviour that they don't consider it as deviant, despite the fact that they far exceed their own rules for the elementary safety.' - Diane Vaughan
The longer it goes on within an organisation, the more people become accustomed to it. People on the outside see it as abnormal but within the organisation it becomes accepted as everyday practise. http://www.fastjetperformance....
It certainly doesn't do their/your credibility any good when they exaggerate stories like this. "LA Methane Leak Is One of the Worst Disasters In US History"....really? It's a plain lie. It's not even in the top 25. And your antinuclear hysteria is blocking badly needed change to save your precious global warming or climate change or whatever the new word is these days because all the old words were discredited.
It is the Ugandans who hold these views, but thanks for projecting. If you don't like Africans because they don't agree with white liberal political views then it's you who are the bigot. Why don't we all ask the indigenous people what they think about you and your racist opinions?
So, they need to agree with your far-left political views to be good people? WTF? Where did that even come from?
The Department of State helped in the color revolutions too, so what's your point? Tunisia is free today because of it, and the Arab Spring was a great win for both the US President and the Secretary of State.
Yaknow, admiring authoritarian governments for their ability to brutalize the people and steal their property is horrifyingly common these days. There were massive protests in China against the HSR because they just wrote the lines anywhere they wanted and then "confiscated" (i.e. stole) any farmer's land that got in the way. The Texas TGV failed because the government there didn't have this power to "confiscate". And all you have to say is "blah blah blah"? There are hemp ropes and cottonwood trees waiting for you fuckers.
The problem is that she is living beyond her means, and expects the rest of us to make up for it. Without Twitter, she would just be another failure who went to the big city for a year and then ended up back on the farm. This happened for centuries. At least she isn't pregnant by some smooth talker who would have never gotten past her male relatives back home.
Yeah, it's not helped by the national media's outright refusal to carry any positive story, leading to the conclusion by people who ought to know better that there ARE no positive stories. After all, when's the last time you heard of a successful civilian self defense? Never, right? And yet it happens all the time.
All the more reason to get rid of the US Constitution in the first place. The "free speech" part is just a shield for bigots. African-Americans had no voice in this document and it is thus invalid. Please stop lecturing Americans on the different parts of the constitution and instead lecture them on how they really, really need to get rid of it permanently.
So, highly-skilled, creative people have to make way for the hicks and rednecks? WTF? Look, one of the main selling points of being in a creative community is being away from uncreative cretins. It's an issue of people liking people who are like themselves. If you want to go live in a trailer park, then get out there and meet your coal-hearted neighbors. The rest of us, we want to find new solutions to society's problems.
I have been in any number of situations where the businessmen involved were serious and sincere about following the law. They went out of their way to do so. This "people will cheat" nonsense is just outright misanthropic. Amend it to "a small number of people will cheat" and you're more correct.
PS UL is a bitch to deal with, their company is arrogant and expensive.
Amnesty International and the other orgs are explicitly anti-American. I don't really know why you're surprised. AI was founded on the idea of exposing America's crimes and covering up those of the Soviets. Seriously, look it up.
Alec saw the battle lines redrawn with stark clarity, with the victims of capitalist and imperialist oppression all over the world on one side, and the United States and its allies, including Spain, on the other. Given such a contest, he realised that to undertake the defence of the Spanish freemasons had been timely as well as symbolically correct because it opened the door for victims of injustice everywhere, but especially in countries friendly to the United States, to join his former comrades-in-arms in Spanish prisons in a grand international coalition of the oppressed whose plight, when efficiently publicised, would bring embarrassment and opprobrium to the adversaries of the Soviet Union.

Bernie Sanders does. And he's been in politics his entire adult life and never held a straight job.

When was the last time you stopped yourself from saying something you believed to be true for fear of being punished for saying it?
If you are on an American campus, it probably hasn't been long.
So where were you during the old regime of Slashdot's "SJW Fridays" pointing out bias? Or is it not a problem when it's your side doing it?
Then it is a welcome respite from the steady drumbeat of biased left-wing news on this site. It's about time we got some equality around here.
