You're talking about *being* in China. It is entirely different when Chinese people visit your home country on business. They will deal with your country's Chinese population (the only part of your people that matter). Foreigners that speak Chinese? That is a wonderful diversion, to be sure. It's like a performing seal being brought to the meeting. But for serious business, get the barbarian out of here and let's talk amongst civilized people.
Our fucked-up civilization is why diabetes is so prevalent in the first place. If we all went back to a natural diet diabetes would be greatly decreased. You know the movie "Idiocracy"? That's what happens to a society that abandons natural selection and lets low IQs breed out of control.
I disagree - it does. If only in retrospect. "Pocketwatch" has the insinuation of "those morons were too dumb to figure out the wristwatch." Our current culture is really really bad about 20/20 hindsight. Anything that was thought of ten minutes ago should have been thought of ten years ago and those people who didn't think of it are stupid. I wish I was wrong, but sadly this attitude is quite common.
Newsflash, the 60s radicals that wanted to shut down society are in power today. The President of the United States is a protege of the head of the Weather Underground terrorist group.
Wow, way to make yourself look like an asshole. Absolute numbers, not percentages. USA gives a shitload of money out for free and gets very little thanks in return. Foreign aid isn't a good point? LOL, let's cut it off for a year and see how many dozen wars start.
Please stop advocating causes you don't believe in.
Gun owners don't call it "gun culture" only haters call it that. Strange you don't believe in the Constitution, though. Is it that it's stopping you from doing what you want? That's how it was designed, assbag.
Did we even read the summary? First, being electrocuted short-circuits the electronics. Second, an alarm chemical is released which attracts more ants to replace the dead one.
An ant pile is a collective organism, one dying hardly affects it at all.
You sure this isn't some massive butthurt European going on and on because he's angry the USSR lost the Cold War? It's like, "dammit you're not going to win!" 20 years after the fact. It was Europeans who bombed Libya, or did we forget that already? A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth, eh?
Perhaps "a small boulder" is a better metaphor than "a 40kg rock of 0.3 meters"? Maybe NASA is trying to get to a different audience than JUST YOU? You're not "most readers" and what you want is irrelevant.
So your point is that the population that needs to be controlled are in undeveloped economies. I.E. brown people. Fuck you. Fuck your racist prick ideology and you have been reported to the website administrators.
Have you asked yourself: do you actually know anything about user interface design? Google employs Ph.D.s by the dozen. Maybe you need to stop offering uninformed criticisms? Google doesn't do these things randomly or on a whim. These changes were debated, thought over by smart people, and then implemented. It's like Roger Ebert vs. the opinion of J. Random Moviegoer here.
the people with the power do almost none of the work
Funny, that's been the case since 1776. The research is not in but that situation may in fact predate the foundation of the Republic. There is a murky concept known by the odd name of "aristocracy" which may explain some of these bizarrities.
So, just because someone is poor it totally justifies a lifetime on the first level of Maslow's Needs? What the fuck is the problem with people like you? How can the world possibly support 7.1 billion people who need air conditioning, iPhones, and the right to reproduce as irresponsibly as possible? Have you looked at the definition of the word "unsustainable" recently?
Sadistic impulses? Criminals are flat-out evil. By definition. It's no more sadistic to hate criminals than it is to hate homophobes, conservatives or Christians. All of them fall under the same category.
Because developers add features that scratch their itch? This open source software, have we heard of it and how it works? "Added developer tools to Firefox" is an outstanding feather in the hat for any resume. Are you going to tell a Firefox developer that she can't enhance her career like that?
This guy appeared who said that we would all be better off without millions of useless eaters. There were only 2.3 billion humans on the planet then. Today there are 7.1 billion.
In 1965 a United Nations report predicted that the world's population would rise to 5.7 billion by 1995. It did.
And to think, that same UN says this: "Reproductive rights rest on the recognition of the basic right of all couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly the number, spacing and timing of their children and to have the information and means to do so, and the right to attain the highest standard of sexual and reproductive health. They also include the right of all to make decisions concerning reproduction free of discrimination, coercion and violence."
Let's set aside for a moment the gargantuan heteronormality and homophobia of this statement ( you know, I've always liked that word, "gargantuan"... so rarely have an opportunity to use it in a sentence) while we acknowledge that when there were 2.3 billion humans on the planet there were a hell of a lot more jobs for them to do. Now that we have 7.1 billion, and climbing, and the jobs for them are falling, what should we do exactly?
The "see also" part may be particularly informative. You may have fallen victim to forces beyond your ken, who are trying to manipulate you into aiding their cause. Look at "Struggle Session" and contemplate if you would like to see that happen to people who don't share your political beliefs. That looks pretty cool, doesn't it? Read this and think about if you would like it to happen to anyone associated with Bain Capital. Substitute the word "Romney" for "You Xiaoli". Does it bother you? What, exactly bothers you? Or if you are OK with it, why?

I know nothing of tumblr. How would I go about inspecting this cornucopia of pron? Specifically JAV?

Soldiers don't sell to the military. They ARE the military. Jeez, people are dumb these days.

Ah, so that explains the horror stories of being ignored at restaurants. They don't have to work for it. It all makes sense now.

"If only the USSR had won the Cold War instead. What a tragedy for the human race!"
You think I'm joking - there has been a baffling increase in the amount of "Russia had it better" posts around here lately.
You seem to be insinuating that the pocketwatch was wrong somehow. How does that follow?

Am I the only one who finds the inevitable unit flame in NASA stories not only tiresome but cliche?
What do you call a Chinese peasant with millions of dollars?
A peasant.
So, pretty much like Canada then. How is that a bad thing, except without all the slavery and genocide?
