    I think the point of the system is "don't commit crimes". Just follow that one rule and you'll be fine. Also, I'm not really sure if you've ever been in jail, but the people there are Jerry Springer-watchers, NASCAR fans, pro sports supporters, Christians, and rednecks. Hardly anyone our society will miss.

    A lot of die-hard right wingers want to stick it to big telecom, too. The problem with regulations is that socialists in a capitalist society can and will use these regulations to destroy companies they don't like (which is pretty much all of them). So it makes it hard to tell the difference.

    Socialism is worse than crony capitalism because crony capitalists only do evil things that they can make money from. Socialists will do any evil, and money is no object. In fact, they'll happily run their own national economies into the ground with their schemes. It's sad.

    Bravely? Maybe. Effectively? Not really. The French Resistance is full of myths. We today think of the Resistance as being made up of poets, writers, philosophers, and so on, while the truth is the people who actually grabbed guns and killed Germans were the French equivalent to violent rednecks. I mean, their country had legally surrendered and the war was over. Peace, the most desired outcome, was here. And what happens but some freaks want to shoot the occupiers and make the occupiers start shooting back?

    You know why the French have such a bad reputation today? Because postwar French foreign policy was basically, "find out what position the Americans are taking, and do the opposite." That's not going to make you popular anywhere except among America-haters.

    No amount of corporate policy change will fix this, only updating regional laws to have more of a global standard can address this issue.

    I've got a idea: let's update regional (Dutch) laws to have more of a global standard and address this issue. Let's bring them in harmony with the IP laws of China, Russia, Brazil, and other big countries. After all, the global standard is what's important. Right?

    Here's a quick bullshit detector I've learned to use when dealing with science "revisions". Note that this has nothing to do with global warming, I developed this tool on unrelated topics. The tool is: "does the revision only go one way? Does it never go the other way? Does it support the politics of the person claiming it? If so then it's likely bullshit."

    Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to understand? I'm not sure which is worse, ignorance or deliberate lies.

    It used to be called "global warming". But, this term got discredited due to scientists abusing science in order to push a left-wing agenda. So, they rebranded as "climate change". It's the same as how "liberals" rebranded as "progressives". Old wine in new bottles. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

    Deep conspiracy? Why yes there is. It's not some crazy James Bond oval table with liberals cackling and stroking white cats. But there is indeed a general agreement, you might call it a hivemind, that does want to use global warming, I'm sorry climate change, to enact radical left-wing policies and use the excuse of global warming, I'm sorry again climate change, to get them passed without recourse to voting or any of that old-fashioned 20th century white people stuff.

    I love how your hate for those who think differently from yourself apparently allows you free reign to use a homophobic slur in the middle of your spittle-flecked rant.

    Trump is doing quite well among blacks, thank you very much. If our nation can stand eight years of a far-left divider and fanner of flames like Obama, we can stand a single term of Trump. You know, sometimes the other party DOES get to win. I think you really don't understand this. Especially the part where you call Trump a Republican...the GOP establishment hates his guts just as much as you do. Now there's a wacky situation - both party elites have much more in common with each other than the people. Sad it's come to this.

    It's time to start thinking about emigration. Where do you plan to go in January 2017? Canada? France? There's a whole world out there just waiting for you. And when you come back home in January 2021, you probably will have learned quite a lot about America and why people like you are total shitheads for being against it.

    Well, I for one am glad that the Swedish media is actively declining to report mass rapes by the Muslim immigrants that the Swedish left has imported. Why did they do it? Well, to avoid giving the Swedish right (apparently they do exist) any proof that their opinions were backed up by facts. Good job Sweden, and keep up the good work. Keeping the right from political power is more important than keeping women from rape.

    I have no idea who Alex Jones is, but it is hardly a stretch to say that Obama's worldview is solidly against everything that most Americans believe in. His racist pastor pretty much captured the feeling in a single phrase: "God damn America". If you start looking into the rest of what he says, the crazy starts fast and pretty soon he goes full retard. But don't worry: Obama doesn't agree with what he says, even though he married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope." Looking at the rest of the Leftist tradition that Obama comes from, it is like a hatefest of anti-Americanism. There is no evil in the world that cannot be connected to America somehow. Pretty soon you start running into people who think that America's greatest crime was beating the Soviet Union in the Cold War and you just have to stop reading.

    Serious Drupal shops and clients -never- live update their sites.

    I'm glad things are so great for you on Mount Olympus. Some of us AREN'T serious Drupal shops. We upgrade when the software says upgrade. When things break, like they shouldn't, we get pissed off.

    For those who aren't involved in the ecosystem, this article can seem alarming.

    Yaknow, the whole problem with Drupal is people like you who assume everyone is "in the ecosystem". Drupal has a big issue with it being by developers, for developers. I'm glad you work with large clients - really, I am - but when I the lowly user use a product, I expect it to work. I don't have a security team, I don't have a git repository, I don't have anyone to do manual testing. I just click upgrade when the system nags me to do so. And I think people like you forget or don't care about ordinary Drupal installations that get downloaded and serve pages. The fact that your last remark is borderline derogatory towards anyone who just clicks 'upgrade' I think tells a lot.
