Hellll-LOOO, he was from the South Side of Chicago, and you're shocked he's crooked? Hell, if "smooth-talking politician from the South Side" doesn't scare you off a candidate, what will? The Chosen One wisely shut his mouth and let the media win his campaign for him.
Funny how the most egregious crimes of the topic are listed right in the summary, before we even get to any relevant information. It's as if it's an attempt to inoculate the topic against an expected "topic is racist and discredited; pay no attention to it further; here are a list of the high crimes and misdemeanors committed by topic" attack in the comments. It's a sign of our modern times. What would archaeologists from the future say about a culture that put such priority on this information, putting it up front in inscriptions?
WTF is that supposed to mean? I think of some guy with beady eyes and salivating mouth clutching a Krispy Kreme and a coffee. Traffic cops are greedy? Pricks would be the word I'd use. I think they do their job out of officiousness rather than any sort of expectation of personal gain. Is greedy traffic cop one of those internet things I missed?
Actually, marketing "rags" can have quite useful information in them. Trashing them just because they are what they are smacks of elitism. You do know that newspapers and such run press releases as articles all the time? In addition, many people don't mind reading PR articles because at least you know their bias and can account for it, unlike traditional journalism where the article is subtly slanted to match the journalist's preconceived notions.
Which policies does the fascist party of Australia advocate regarding network filtering?
"Fascist" is frequently used in this day and age as a pejorative insult to those with whom the speaker disagrees politically. In which ways does this man's viewpoints agree with actual, objective fascist policies? Keep in mind that there is no "right" or "wrong", merely different points of view, all equally valid.
Oh, no, thousands of dollars of assets were destroyed! Despite the fact that they only provided value for an incredibly small slice of the human race, this tragedy is surely front-page material for any website.
And in other news, this morning while my mom was on the way to work, she couldn't avoid a piece of road debris, causing thousands of dollars of assets to be destroyed. She had to pull over and call a tow truck.
Kepler? I thought he died back in the 1600s. He's still around, and still looking through telescopes?
Oh, I get it, this must be some new science thing. It was just poorly explained in the summary, which is usual for Slashdot. If they discover more planets, it's really going to screw up astrology (which Kepler studied intensively). Did NASA take these considerations into account?
Embassy personnel are representatives of their countries. The diplomatic immunity is just something they threw in to benefit themselves. It also makes negotiating easier because the diplomats can't be beheaded like they used to be. If they screw up or get caught spying or kill some family in a drunk driving accident, they can be declared "persona non grata" and expelled. This happens regularly.
Also of note is reciprocity. America grants diplomatic immunity but also receives it at embassies abroad. Where is the equality with a non-state actor like INTERPOL? How do you declare them persona non grata and expel them? Where would they go to, they're an international organization just like the UN.
This is just a move towards internationalisation. The dream of the UN and other transnational progressivists is sort of a Star Trek-type or Futurama-type "Earth Government". It's not like they're making a big secret of it, either. I mean, what the hell, US law has just been trumped! An in a very incomprehensible way, too. "deleting from the first sentence the words "except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act" and the semicolon that immediately precedes them." WTH is this crap? What happened to Obama's vaunted transparency in government?
Maybe a few examples would clear the air. Where are some places where they built high-rises, and property values decreased? Or is this just theoretical navel-gazing?
You know, when you criticize someone who has cited atonalism, Gershwin, and jazz for being anti-intellectual and prejudiced, I think you have a major persecution complex and you really need to look up what "projection" means as a psychological term.
Never worked in real estate, I see. It doesn't work like you were taught in Econ 101. No wonder cities are so screwed up these days...they've got morons planning them.
Wait a minute, building high-rises REDUCES the price of land? Sorry buddy, I'm not sure which alternate dimension you came from, but that doesn't happen in our shard of reality. Are you one of those "new urbanists" who think creating traffic jams is a great idea?
Let me get this straight - you are actually arguing for the propositions in the linked article? You're saying we're not sufficiently terrified of killer cannibal robots, and we need to link this with terrorists somehow? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Seriously, I'm laughing so hard right now. Everybody panic!
You missed the other eight types of people...? Where are they listed?
Oh, you mean you were trying to be overly clever and speak in binary. In that case, the numbers of people would be 0. and 1. instead of 1. and 2. Good Lord save me from people who only repeat stuff that they've heard and have no idea of how it actually works.
Aww...someone needs a hug! Did that nasty evil free press advocate ideas that you don't agree with? Funny how it's all about how the press needs to be free and unfettered...up until the point that they become TOO free and start disagreeing.
It's especially distressing to see ideas like "information" and "truth" spouted by post-modernists. There is no objective truth, only different points of view, all of which are equally valid.
Since when is Sesame Street a fountain of lies? I always regarded Sesame Street as eminently credible. Their staff includes many leading figures in children's education. Sorry, can you provide citations of dishonest behavior on their part? I have no idea why you brought them into a discussion of vile politics and mudslinging.
Secondly, one of the things I learned from Sesame Street was that all ideas are equal, everybody is the same, and there are no right or wrong viewpoints, only different life experiences. Maybe you need a bit of that, as well.
I hope we all got a lesson from Obama when he bowed to royalty. China will indeed allow limited exports of these precious metals - but only to proper nations who know how to kneel and bow to the superiority of China. China does not recognize and has no tradition of equality. Everybody is either superior or inferior. You think the Chinese didn't get the message loud and clear from Obama's bow? One only bows to superiors. And Obama did a really good bow too...the full 90 degrees (a most inferior position).
Study history, China was like this hundreds of years ago, too. They had no problem cutting the outside world off from trade. Hell, there were wars over it. China has no interest in joining the community of nations as an equal member. You will acknowledge China as superior and humiliate yourself, or you will get no Neodymium. And even then, companies owned by Chinese-Americans will be favored over companies owned by barbarians (that's you, unless you're ethnic Chinese).
My provider runs spamassassin, and given their track record in updating their other software, I rather doubt that they'll update spamassassin anytime soon. Is there any way around this that doesn't involve root access? (I love helpful responses from idiots that start with "first, edit the/etc/spamassassin.conf file" or whatever.)
Oh yeah, the other wonderfully helpful stock response "stop using the software if you don't like it". Sure, I'd love to go back to getting 500 spams a day.
Uh, guy? I'm not sure that they really need the hydrogen, being in a hard vacuum a couple degrees above absolute zero and all. Oh, and at least give the NASA guys credit for capitalizing Thermos as a proper noun and registered trademark. PS: the boiling point of hydrogen is 20 degrees K, interplanetary space is about 4 degrees K. PPS ProTip: If you're going to strut about starting your comments in the Subject: line and bashing NASA for being unscientific, please add more to the conversation than the top two Google results for "wise mission".
Nah. That ain't gonna happen. People won't stop doing business with China, and China is a thousand times worse. Why? Because there's money to be made, and that's a lesson you just haven't learned, apj syurga.
Interesting point of view. Another, more accurate point of view, is that anarchists intentionally wanted to start a war, and they succeeded. Funny how anarchists escaped blame for the millions of deaths that followed. Winners write the history books.

That's not greed, though. Greed is desire far beyond that which is needed. Filling a quote is, by definition, decidedly un-greedy.

Well, that convinces me. I, for one, promise to be more trusting and less vigilant in the future.

I mean, is the west the only place where people can say "offensive" things without riots?
Yes. Did Lord Rama include John Stuart Mill in the Ramayana?
