Socialism means work. Work for the benefit of everyone in society, instead of selfish you keeping it all for yourself. You know all those people who get the free money for doing nothing right now? When socialism happens, they're all going to start working. Otherwise they can starve to death by neglect or intent. Who do you think first came up with the phrase, "useless eaters"? Socialism doesn't mean free money for the people, no no no. It means work, hard work.
Don't give them ideas. When the new Opera came out after abandoning Opera 12, the thing that stopped me in my tracks was lack of bookmark support. I had to change to Firefox, which I unhappily use today.
It's not a short story, it's a 300 page novel. They definitely went overboard doing 3 movies, but the novel can't be blamed for that. It's a good book, you should read it.
It's not a short story, it's 300 pages. It's a decent book. Not an 800 page doorstopper, but I suppose that's how we think today, if it's not long then it's not good. Back then novels could be 300 pages and still be good.
I don't see anything condemning any leftists at all. You have to go back 20 years ago to find a Prize awarded for an investigation of the Nation of Islam's questionable business dealings. Can you imagine this sort of thing going on today? A journalist would never receive a Pulitzer for doing this sort of story, in fact they'd probably be publicly shamed, fired, and rendered unemployable. So, let's all remember what the Pulitzer Prize actually is and what it stands for.
I am troubled by the emergence of a media elite which can and does control what we are allowed to see. The powerful have tools to enforce their will - we, the people, do not. I really don't see how you can be on the bad guys' side against us, but I suppose if you agree with their political views, they can be forgiven for much. After all, they're only trying to ensure a "positive outcome".
Worshippers leaving the Grand Mosque of Gay Paree after the midday prayer also worried that Muslims in La Belle France would be blamed for a conflict rooted in the Middle East.
"This story soils Islam and it soils Muslims," said a man named Soufiane. "There are problems over there and they shouldn't be imported here."
Straight from the horses's mouth. The first thing that you do is stop the problem from spreading. Keep it contained. Ask any doctor, "first, do no harm." The question is why are these left-wing voices continually telling us to import hostile foreigners into our countries and our homes? What possible positive outcome could result from this? It certainly ain't gonna be singing Kumbaya in front of the campfire.
Reading this thread and the last, I am struck by how the Left is not just defending Islamism, but fiercely defending it. I have seen America blamed (of course that's the first choice), all religions blamed equally (because Christians explode in public places all the time), and the other usual arguments. All of which stolidly defend the Islamists, This isn't the first time it's happened, either, this is the usual mode of operations. My question is...why?
Why does the Left defend Islamism like this? Why aren't they letting the Islamists defend themselves? They are perfectly capable of it, they don't need any help. And yet every bomb, every terrorist act, the Left is once again front and center fighting for Islam. It's like they are informally allied. What motivates educated people to sit in front of a keyboard for 40 minutes composing a thousand-word defense of the disgusting mass murder Islamists committed in Paris today?
It's good to see the old "Blame America First" mentality is alive and well, and that the Left is front and center defending their co-belligerents, the Islamists. Again? It's like a broken record with you people. Let them defend themselves, why are you always rushing out to do it?
Also conveniently leaving out that your hero Obama, the Chosen One, did the exact same thing in Libya. Oopsy-doodle, it's off to cognitive dissonance land, where doublethink is the only escape from thoughtcrime.
Yup, it's the familiar "all religions are the same" argument. Whenever Islam does something reprehensible, of course. Whenever a Christian does something reprehensible, it is uniquely a problem of that religion alone.
Why is it that Leftists are always out front and center defending Islam? It's like you're allied together against Western civilization or something. Let Daesh defend itself, it has an online division. Stop doing their jobs for them, you realize who you're working with, right?
Blame America First has been the watchword of the Left for decades. Seriously, you're not familiar with it? You are certainly familiar with moral equivalence, arguing that Muslims are OK while it is Christians who are the real evil in the world. And you try to take air out of the idea whenever anyone mentions Left-Islamist alliance against Western civilization. You both agree that we suck and need to be removed, the only thing you disagree about is what the world should look like afterwards.

Except that a very large argument in favor of disarming the people is preventing violence just like this. Apparently it doesn't work and is an invalid argument. That's why it's important to notice this and shout it from the heavens.
Armed citizens stop crimes all the time. It's just that there is a conspiracy of silence in the mainstream media to never report it. I feel weird writing words like conspiracy of silence, but we're through the rabbit hole here. These things really do happen.
The summary leaves out the most important part of this whole thing, the part that is most critical to answer: what kind of shirt was the spokesman wearing when he made the announcement? We can't possibly evaluate if this is OK unless we know. Is there any word?
Because other CMS are complete. Wordpress relies on everything to be a plugin. Upgrade your wordpress, break the plugins your site depends on. Even if they don't break right away, there are lots of small problems that can happen later, or only under certain circumstances. Been there, done that.
Wordpress isn't a CMS for actual people to use. It's a pre-hacked system for people who like tinkering with systems. You want an actual CMS, go elsewhere, and I'm not talking about rival free software platforms.
"Accurate communication is possible only in a non-punishing situation."
The Chief Executive set unrealistic goals and planned punishments for anyone who failed. So, the engineers did what was rational, and now they're going to get the blame for the whole thing. The executives, as usual, will get off scot-free and even if fired, will come out smelling like roses.
Because people expect you to take your product seriously, even if it is free? The businesses have been sold on the idea that open source is just as good as the other kind of software, and this is the withering reply they get?
This sort of "fuck you" attitude is one of the things that really turns off businesses and everyone else from relying on open source software. The fact that you don't understand why anyone would particularly care is the entire problem.
opposing Obama is actually their entire fucking job.
No, that is the job of the media. However, since they are simpatico with his far-left politics, he gets a free pass. Nobody questioned Obama's credentials in 2008. How many people know he is the protege of a far-left terrorist who bombed the US Capitol?
I love how you take it as some sort of problem that politicians are subject to term limits. America already tried that and it didn't work out so well with Emperor Roosevelt. Ask cities that have been under Democratic control for 40+ years how it's worked out for them, you can start with Chicago and Detroit.
You know what got China to finally ditch Leftism after 40 years of trying really really hard to make it work? "Seek truth from facts." Seriously, that's how they justified stepping down from Leftism and into a system that made sense. Now Canada's heading the opposite way, while mouthing the same slogan. Sad...maybe the huge number of Chinese in Canada will recognize the pattern and stop it from happening, but I'm not optimistic.
It's technical jargon and uses a meaning of the word you're not familiar with. I love how the moment the conversation escapes your vocabulary, you immediately leap to erroneous conclusions that support your pre-existing political biases.
Yaknow, I just don't think anything is ever acceptable to you people, ever. An assassination campaign is about the kindest version of war you can get. It is the best choice in a terrible situation. But that's not enough.
I think what cheeses you off the most is when America kills its enemies rather than all this other crap. Your Chosen One Obama was elected a long time ago, he was going to put a stop to this, remember? And yet you blame the American People. Why? Because we're worried about things that affect our lives. How horrible, right? How dare anyone live like that! What else were we supposed to do other than elect Obama. It's not like we have any other influence over things. And still it's not enough, you blame us instead of the murderer with blood on his hands.

I think people don't understand what the Pulitzer Prize is for these days. Once upon a time, it was given to inspire journalist excellence, but these days it is just a back-patting that says, "we endorse and agree with your leftist views." Just look at the prizes for Investigative Reporting - seven years into Obama's term and not a single Pulitzer has been awarded for investigating corruption and criminal behavior in his administration. Not one. And this from a scandal-ridden Presidency that is ripe for old-fashioned, shoe-leather, crusading journalists to expose to the light of day.

Utterly foolish. Foolish to the point of self-deception or outright lying. But don't listen to me, listen to French Muslims:
Straight from the horses's mouth. The first thing that you do is stop the problem from spreading. Keep it contained. Ask any doctor, "first, do no harm." The question is why are these left-wing voices continually telling us to import hostile foreigners into our countries and our homes? What possible positive outcome could result from this? It certainly ain't gonna be singing Kumbaya in front of the campfire.
Last week, left-wing Germans threw a party welcoming Muslims to their country. How did their new guests respond? By molesting and harassing the women (scroll down for English). And you want to bring that shit into our country? Fuck you.
Have you not read the responses in this thread? The half that aren't condemning the terrorists are blaming America.

Why are you such a misogynist? Women can be journalists. Go back to your cave and celebrate with your KKK buddies, sexist pig.
Dude, don't do it. The cure is worse than the disease. No matter how bad things get, they'll never get bad enough to consider that option.
China and Russia absolutely do spy on their own citizens. Where did you discover that they don't?
