What's with the bizarro conspiracy theory? The same government that came up with the Tuskeegee Syphilis Experiment is suddenly now trustworthy? The same one that lied us into Iraq? The same one that lied and said the NSA wasn't illegally spying on us? Trust is earned, not given. I have no idea why you're pushing a "trust the government" line, it's weird as hell.
You can have nice things because you don't have to fund your own defense. Military is extremely expensive and America defends Europe for free. Who cares if we have "power", that doesn't do our people one bit of good. It's really rich for beneficiaries of that extremely generous funding to treat Americans as some kind of bizarre space alien. We can't have nice things because we have to pay for yours. SWEDEN YES
All this "oh we can't tell you the real price" bullshit needs to come to a screeching halt. This is just cartelism, or guildism, or whatever you can call it. It's an industry screwing us over because it can, and claiming technical difficulties prevent it from changing. It was bullshit when Microsoft did it with Internet Explorer and it's bullshit with hospitals.
Wow, another denial of agency of POC and an insistence that America rules the world. We don't rule the world. That's wrong. By the way, Merkel is the leader of the free world and has been since we pulled out of the Paris agreement. Go bother her and tell her country to spend trillions on the doomed "world order" project. It's bankrupting us, just like it did every other culture that tried.
America killed nary a whale and somehow people find a way to blame us. It's such bullshit. When you wonder why we're withdrawing from the world, it's because of shit like this.
Most environmental issues are the same way. Motte and bailey strategy. Take a public, reasonable sounding position that hides your real, extreme views. Then when you're challenged retreat to the defensible position. When people stop listening take your real stance.
I knew this could be be blamed on America somehow. Everything that happens in the world is always America's fault. All others lack agency and cannot make decisions for themselves.
If it only affects members of a single minority group, it is indeed racist. Racism isn't about intent. It's also about outcomes.
Racism can occur without anyone having to be a racist - or without someone being actively prejudiced against a person of color. Shutting down racist, sexist, and similar conversations protects vulnerable participants.
I have more to fear from the NSA than any foreign government. The NSA isn't spying on our adversaries. They're spying on us. After lying and saying they didn't. Wikileaks confirms.
They aren't backdoored by the NSA. That's why there's such a negative reaction by the federal government. They don't feel safe if we have secrets from them.
So, blame the workers. You know, for someone who's on the far left you're pretty bad at sticking to your own principles. You're like an alt-right advocating for open borders.
Good to see the deplorables are getting the abuse they deserve from well-off IT workers. I'm sure they think the same at Google and Facebook. Speak truth to the powerless!
That was in the 70s, and even back then they lost a lot of members and support over it. Today's ACLU regrets it's former extreme free speech stance and today supports restrictions on how people can speak, following the general principle of "free speech for me but not for thee".

Oh look, it's a European beneficiary of free American security looking down on zir benefactors. How unusual.
That was when it was called Rhodesia and was an apartheid state. Stay classy, Slashdot, pine wistfully for evil racist regimes.

God forbid they should contribute to the development of their own country instead of having their talents used to benefit the already wealthy.
I'm glad the winner shared so much about his feelings with us. This reporting is worse than the Olympics coverage.

Says the man from the country that invented Jim Crow laws and used nuclear weapons against POC. How many illegal wars are you in right now?

Who ever said "make money" is the sole reason that everything happens? Seriously, there are other motivations, people. Look into them.
It's that they US intelligence community doesn't have backdoors into the phones. Can't have the commoners keeping secrets.

Trotting up an escalator is slower than doing the same up the stairs? The escalator is moving. It's faster. Duh.
Exploration and colonization? Aren't we against those things today? Have you asked any university professors about it lately?
So it's fine for the EU to look after its own interests, but when America does the same it's the end of the world. Typical.
Yes! More abuse for the poor! Let them know what the well off think of them! Afflict the afflicted, comfort the comfortable!
