Did this actually happen or did you just make it all up? Citation, please. Foreign companies and sue and win in Chinese courts and do so all the time. Sounds like your ideas are stuck in a decade ago, but honestly it wasn't like that even then.
It's all part of our Obamazation. We're supposed to murder our dreams and concentrate on everything that's bad. Aspire to something better? That's racist!
These aren't war stories, they're local news reports. Obviously the mainstream media deliberately ignores these stories as they contradict The Narrative [tm].
Americans are bad. Trendy diet advice. Weird diet additive 5htp, whatever that is...author assumed everyone else knew what it was, too, because the author lives in a bubble. Doctors accused of being priests instead of scientists. Accusing scientists that trained for years of being ignorant. Unnamed high school anecdote with no link. We're done here.
You know, right, that suicide is a HUGE, HUGE SIN in Christianity? You'll burn in hell forever. Dante's Inferno included a section on all the famous suicides suffering and pleading for help.
People don't commit suicide in hopes of a better afterlife. Where'd that idea even come from? Did you make it up in an uninformed attempt to smear religion? They commit suicide because they lose hope and don't think that their lives will ever get any better. The inconvenient truth is a lot of times, they're right. It's called depressive realism, look it up.
You right-wing fuckbags just won't stop, will you? Obama can't do anything right, and you just keep blabbering on about it? If he walked on water you'd find a way to say it was blasphemous.
I'm curious about what time in American history that the "other America" ever attended serious film and theater. It's a screamer. Who ever does that? The only people who attend "serious film and theater" are foo-foo coastal leftists.
I also love the Otherizing in progress. In fact, the real America is real, and YOUR side is The Other. Don't like it? There are plenty of other countries out there to choose from. We live in a borderless world.
I love how radical leftists are sober, sane people that we really need to sit down and listen to, while their counterparts on the right are crazy nutbags and it's better to overthrow democracy than allow them to take any kind of real political power. Democracy does not mean "my side wins 100% of the time".
That is such backwards thinking I don't even know where to start. Ex-cons don't get hired because they spent time in prison being educated (really?!?), they don't get hired because the #1 predictor of committing more felonies is being convicted of a felony. My Dad hires people from the halfway house because he's a tightwad...Half of them steal and then run off the job, half of them have absenteeism issues and usually stop showing up after a few days or weeks, and the other half are good workers. He wouldn't even bother but he's cheap. Most of the good workers were people in for DWI or were thrown in debtors' prison. Do you know we have debtors' prisons again? Well, for men anyway.
Actually Chinese people greatly admire the Western system and know their own ways are crap. Social responsibility? Are you kidding? Whenever people see photos of a Westerner hitting a person with a car and then stopping to render aid, they are always full of admiration. Chinese don't do that crap. The system of government didn't develop in a vacuum, it's a foreign system that has committed terrible crimes to preserve its own power. If there were elections tomorrow, the Communist Party would be reduced to a minor regional player.
I'm interested to know where the intellectually stimulating TV shows are. I'm more interested as to why an intellectually superior man who looks down his nose at athletes is spending any time watching television whatsoever.
So, you're pissed off that everyone is doing what they want instead of focusing 100% of their speech energy, all the time, on your pet radical left-wing agenda. Look pal, civilized people aren't one-issue robots. You are. What does that usually mean?
PS if you're a leftist you WANT Rome to burn. Duh! You should be ENCOURAGING this behavior as it will sooner enable the collapse of civilization, capitalism will fall, social justice will finally be achieved, etc. etc.
Well, that's the ugliest Islamophobic attitude I've seen modded up to +5 in a while. How did Slashdot come to this disgusting bigotry? You realize billions of people disagree with you, and you didn't even take their feelings into account?
Boxing is a chocolate sport. Heaping scorn on it is just dog whistle racism. Wishing for it to die out is a form of soft cultural genocide. I'm glad we have a coastal SWPL white person to tell us what entertainment is and is not.
Opera was the browser with features...but then they kept adding features for no reason other than to add features. Does a web browser really need an IRC client? An integrated bittorrent client? They just went nuts adding crap, evidently because they were bored.
The Second also says that the militia are all men. Congratulations, you just revoked a right from 50% of the population. Well done.
You see how this goes? You start fucking with shit and doing things that seem obvious to you, then boom come the unexpected (to you) consequences. STOP FUCKING WITH SHIT.
They tried this "yellow bike" program in Austin in the 90s. It went about as well as you would expect. The yellow bikes lasted about a couple months until they were all gone. Shipped to Mexico.
US culture is currently going through a Rape Scare that is very much like the Red Scare of the 50s. Witch hunters are everywhere, and what do you know, they find witches all the time. Just like in the 50s, it's just hysteria that feeds itself. Crime is down to historic lows right now.
Well, that has to be the first time I've seen an anti-semitic slur modded up to +5. I don't even think those lawyers are Jewish (though I didn't watch so it might be true). A sad day for Slashdot...what's next, a story about David Duke and how he's doing good work exposing the Jewish banksters?
The irony is, of course, that Japanese girls with blue eyes look bizarre and unsettling. I've seen them wearing their colored contact lenses, and it's just a bad look, period. But at least contact lenses come out. This...it's like a tattoo. "Why does 45-year-old Fumiko have those weird eyes?" "Oh, 20 years ago she thought it would be cool. Now she's stuck like that." "Poor woman! Why doesn't she just wear brown contacts?" "The procedure left her with sensitive eyes that can't stand contacts. Unexpected side effect that happens to 23% of people who get the surgery."

There were lots of cultures that made your decision of decadence. They're not with us any more. Does anyone suspect a coincidence?

People with bad credit have other problems in their lives. Problems that they are likely to bring to your business.

In other words, they're exactly like the Democrats. Try being a Christian...utter hostility unless you're the kind of Rev. Wright Christian.

Calling a Pink Floyd album "similiar to Division Bell" is a compliment now? Wow times have changed.
