I note you don't say anything about your own credibility. Let's see some accomplishments before we go questioning serious, accredited journalists, eh? Times articles are thoroughly fact-checked before going into print. Freaking right-wing nutbags.
Isn't it funny how this argument is only sounded when Obama makes it obvious, again, that he had zero intention of going through with "hope & change"? Whenever an (R) does something, his party affiliation is right up there in the first line. When a (D) does something, it's "both parties are equally bad". Can't have it both ways, man.
Poor people are poor because they make consistently bad economic decisions. I have to question your fascination with race and bizarre knowledge of obsolete ideologies.
So, an organization dedicated to leaking information was in possession of certain information that it preferred to keep secret. Then, someone leaked the info.
I'm pretty sure this is the definition of literary irony. It certainly contains the classical elements of comeuppance.
The poster doesn't say which country it was in. If it were a country like Egypt, the girl would be killed and the boy would be punished as well. In China it would be a serious loss of face for both families. But keep up that "assuming everywhere is the same as here" idea.
Call me crazy, but do I really want Google knowing my phone number? It seems like nobody is even thinking of this one. What happens when they make this mandatory?
What if you have more than one Gmail account? Frankly, I use some Gmail features to stay hidden (I was going to say anonymous but now that word means kid porn and DoS).
In other news, my new currency will trade at 100USD to 1. Therefore, it is much better and we can all ooh and ahh over how obsolete national currencies are. That's the whole story here, right?
"Working directly with the owners of this small family farm in Massachusetts, we are offering selected Alpaca products for Bitcoins." Yeah, so I suppose this is someone's father or something. Real great customer there. The Eco-shop online linked from the article has 5 of 7 categories listing no products. You know I love buying from those sorts of stores! Either the owner never finished the site or it's been abandoned for some time, there's no way to know. The best part is giving my CC info to some shop with tumbleweeds and cockroaches wandering about.
Only racists do the "Chinese is the same as Japanese" thing. To anyone who spends 30 seconds educating themselves, China and Japan are as different as salt and sugar. It's only the ignorant who make that giveaway mistake, and ignorance and bigotry are always found together - indeed, bigots are the most ignorant people of all in life. Educated people aren't racist.
Until we arrive at the real national socialism (as opposed to the fake thing attempted in the 20th century) - air, water, food, shelter, education and health care are available to everyone, basically for free. I know that I lost any possible mod points by mentioning Nazism (and even more for suggesting that scarcity is not fundamental "law" of the Universe), but I urge you to meditate on this - limited (but sufficient) population in practically unlimited Universe. Because after all, the national socialists realized that the world was overpopulated and actually DID something towards that goal, unlike all the talkers out there.
I used to work for a telephone company, calling people who had rang up too many charges. Half the time, the recipient was grateful to be blocked, as her husband/boyfriend in prison called her incessantly, as well as racked up hundreds of dollars in collect telephone call fees.
Jesus Christ, how many pro athletes have you known?!? They're very typically hardworking people and nice folks who are well aware that they're being paid to play a game. Like anything else, you're just talking out your ass about the 1% of the top who get money with no wisdom and succumb to humdrum everyday human character failings. Stop accepting distorted media stories as real!
That's OK - you're not supposed to experience this on the same level as The Real People. This is just sort of a substitute experience for the little people like yourself. Instead of criticizing for inadequacy, you should be thanking us for providing even a substitute.
Being pretty or not has little to do with how much weight you choose to carry. I have seen so many lovely women - from the neck up. From the neck down it's a disaster area. If she only weighed 130 instead of 250, she's be perfect.
Uhh...the Western media has been busted many, many times doing the same thing. All the big names: CNN, AP, NYT, you name it. It's just that, surprisingly, stories like this aren't given much publicity in...the Western media.
Gosh, we seem to have military bases everywhere that require resupply and are not self sustaining. It's called logistics and it is something that has been part of the art of warfare since the first man picked up the first rock.
So...they're paying a lot more for a product that doesn't "kill trees", as you put it? Got news for ya buddy, there is an entire world out there called "green products" wherein people are accustomed to doing precisely this. No surprise that the situation is evolving in this direction.

Hilarious racist humor. I like how the American host of ABC has a non-anglicized Chinese name.
Fifty pages of data isn't that much. Humans can memorize that. This isn't Pop Warner football where the team has four plays.

So the middleman gets squeezed out and people save money by going direct to the source. How is this bad, exactly?
So...people are under oath in Facebook. Gotcha.
Repeat to yourself, "If the New York Times|BBC|NBC|CBS|Al-Jazeera reports it, it must be true!" and contemplate just fucked up things are.
What if the Facebook postings supported the truth? Would she use those on the witness stand then? That's totally fucked-up dude.

Admins can't do anything about it. This discussion is about solutions to the problem submitted in the summary, please stay on-topic.

Give the guy a break, he's just acting like a journalist.
