I can see that you've never tried to translate Japanese (or worse, Chinese) with Google Translate. Damn it, that software tries its best, but fails quite often.

"cutting checks to people who say mean things about them"
It's a good thing that our universities here in America are so idealogically pure, they don't have that saying mean things problem as any kind of racism gets you fired quickly.
Sad, sad, sad submitter. Reflects the intellectual poverty of one who has no other idea of this action than "snitching". The very word is negative and implies something is wrong with informing the authorities that Microsoft is breaking the law (again - what a surprise). Where did this even come from? Oh yeah, "snitches get stitches". Who created this meme? Oh yeah, drug dealers who wanted to intimidate the local population into silence. And now the media is going along with it without even thinking of the implications. Good job everyone.
"racist against the local whites"? You can't be racist *against* whites. You don't even know what racism is. Go take some college courses in racism and get some goddamn education.
Where my Mom lives, they had an 'election' to determine which channels to eliminate and which to add. Something like 95% of households said to drop BET, the Black Entertainment Channel. This is racist on its face and any attempt to deny it is also racist. BET cannot exist without packages.
And yet we totally ignore the fact that the Tutsis absolutely *hate* the Hutus and want to see the Hutus destroyed. Sorry, but it's true, ask any Tutsi. The Tutsis see the "constitution" as some sort of archaic bizarrity of an earlier age that keeps them from implementing the "needed changes" that will help them eradicate the Hutus. I mean, heck with that whole "liberty" thing if it means that people mean to make their own decisions, even if they're wrong. After all, the Tutsis are more smarter than everyone and anyone who disagrees with their decisions must be racist (against Tutsis).

"The gun control agenda is based on the view that ordinary citizens cannot be trusted to use the physical power of arms responsibly. But a people that cannot be trusted with guns cannot be trusted with the much more dangerous powers of self-government. The gun control agenda is thus an implicit denial of the human capacity for self-government and is tyrannical in principle."

"Someone has said they will be triggered by your talk, and theyâ(TM)re a rape survivor."
"Do you describe how to use date rape drugs? They said that if you are going to tell people how to use date rape drugs then itâ(TM)s the same as rape, and thereâ(TM)s going to be a problem."
"No, theyâ(TM)re here and theyâ(TM)re not leaving. They told me theyâ(TM)ll make it into a bigger problem if you do your talk."
So, someone want to tell me the difference between this behavior and a bully's behavior? Oh, right, bullies don't have entire academic departments of major universities backing them up.
The point is that she never would have been there...the movie was a work of FICTION. Imagine an elegant society woman going to a hoedown with the hillbillies to understand how ridiculous the concept is.
Funny, it's the Left that is justifying tyranny under the name of "coercive paternalism". You see, when we have a choice, we make the wrong choice. Go and have a read and find out how much you agree with tyranny. Erk...awkward. Sucks to be you, doesn't it?
"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or mental, is not a sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled to do or forbear because it will be better for him to do so, because it will make him happier, because, in the opinion of others, to do so would be wise, or even right."
-- John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty"
"You are dictatorial." My dear sirs, you are right, that is just what we are. All the experience the Chinese people have accumulated through several decades teaches us to enforce the people's democratic dictatorship, that is, to deprive the reactionaries of the right to speak and let the people alone have that right.

"No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?"

Uh, no. The War of the Worlds didn't take any inspiration from the Nazis, given that H G Wells wrote it in the 1800s. The "alien race bent on the destruction of humanity" is what I was talking about. Durr, durr, durr
Or, I don't know, EVERY SINGLE OTHER ALIEN RACE from science fiction? Starting with War of the Worlds, which was already old-fashioned by the time of Dr. Who. "Panzer tanks"? It's the same word repeated twice. What are those, are they like "moo cows"?
Here I was, belaboring under the mistaken notion that the fun part of gaming was gaming. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Most sports are out of reach due to the athletic requirements, but anyone can play a computer game. I suppose this is just more evidence of the trend of not wanting to do anything but be a passive observer. Oh well, let's make money off it, capitalism makes it all better!
You need Root Uninstaller. Takes care of those uninstallable crapware. Of course, you need root for this so either take the phone in to one of those dodgy shops or go read xda-developers forums for your device.
Where's the hypocrisy? I'm not seeing it. Can you explain it, other than posting Wikipedia? How does a single place correlate to 400 villages? Please explain it like I'm a 5 year old.

Good thing ethicists are better people than everyone else and aren't susceptible to logical fallacies like appeal to authority. Ethics can and has been used to justify eugenics, slavery, and genocide.
Are we going to talk about the story, or just have ad hominem attacks on unrelated subjects?
So, in other words, they were doing precisely what the stimulus intended. Those EEEEVIL corporashuns!

Easy answer: racism.

They'd tell us to STOP NOW, before it gets any worse, and to hold on dearly to our liberties. Ah, fuck it...as long as you get to destroy the Tutsis, you're OK with it. Tyranny shmirrany!

Yeah, I know....the Left has started the intellectual foundations for tyranny with a positive review in an elite magazine. They're putting John Stuart Mill on the chopping block. It's for our own good, of course.
Yeah, you shouldn't question everything. There are certain areas off-limits. Cross them at your peril. The authorities will let you know what can be questioned and what can not.
Hmm, funny how the left is beginning the intellectual foundations of tyranny by dismantling "On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill. Yes, the link does lead to a positive review by an elitist magazine. We shouldn't be free because we might make the wrong decisions. it's for our own good. Of course, the reactionaries (right) will be in for a full dose of this treatment.

A Panzer tank is different from a Tiger tank? A Tiger is a Panzer Mark 6, dumbass. Can't believe you're up to +4 on that.
Civilian nuclear power? Amazing...someone actually buys Iran's cover story?!?
You think about the Nazis a lot, don't you?
