Yes but since people are increasingly incapable of self-censoring someone has to do the job...
I could go into a lengthy argument on why this is so goddamn patronizing that it's not even humorous, but I suspect that would be totally lost on you. So, for the sake of brevity, I'll simply go with option #2 where I call you a cunt.
What part of the Chinese government is different than any other Communist country?
My point? They are exactly the same as every other Communist government. Thus, at this point, we can infer that this is how Communist governments act. i.e. This is communism. Whatever it was that Marx espoused and what you were taught that communism is, in school, is incorrect or misapplied.
Thus, calling them Communist is entirely accurate.

Sunshine is RADIATION! Are you crazy? Or just want to give everyone cancer?
You are emitting radiation right now. In fact you are emitting some ionizing radiation. Are you trying to give your neighbors cancer? You are one sick and twisted individual!:)
Personally, I think the X.509 certificate should at least include the name, age, country, and postal code of the person. The age is to let people filter out kids, and the postal code is to differentiate people with the same name.
Seriously? Have you bothered to work out any of this in your head or are you so insulated from reality that you think everyone lives in a first-world country where nobody is beheaded or tortured for making unpopular political views?
Off the top of my head, I could come up with a half dozen ways to make it easy for a legit person to sign up for a service and difficult for spammers to created hundreds or thousands of bogus accounts..
1 idea would be a cryptographic computational puzzle... Something that might take a random PC or phone a minute or two to solve. Maybe more than that.... whatever it takes to make it not too much of a pain-in-the-ass for someone legit, but non worthwhile for a spamfucker.
Or maybe a multi-faceted approach... Users can click a button "nobody is going to torture me" and opt to link acct to cell phone.. Or "send my validation code via snail mail" and then a second button could say "I'll opt for the 30 min crypto challenge because my government is barbaric and hates freedom"
But any system that demands you divulge too many details about yourself... Fuck that...
Nice strawman. Machine guns are, for all intents and purposes, illegal and have been since 1980. There are only a handful of licensees still alive and the average machine gun sells for about $30,000.00
Nice try you liberal shill....
Btw, none of those "assault" weapons (like the AR-15) that you libs love to bitch about even rate as an assault rifle. No military in the world would use those as a primary squad weapon. Why? Cause they cannot fire tri-burst or full auto. They are no more sophisticated than a deer rifle. The just happen to "look scary"
Bullshit. Read the goddamn federalist papers. The 1st Amendment is protection FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787
That letter isn't from the revolution. It's during the drafting of the constitution. He's not referring to Great Britain. He is talking about the government that is being created.
You are partially correct when you say the militia was there to help. This is supported by the fact that the states were also given the power to levy war if there was no time to wait on the federal government. BUT, the founding fathers intended that gun ownership NEVER be infringed by the Federal Government. That's why it is in the Bill of Rights. All 10 amendments deal directly with YOUR rights and prohibiting the Federal Government from fucking with them.
Article 9 makes that abundantly clear
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Repeat this to yourself until you get it: "All 10 of the Bill of Rights inform the Federal Government that it may not do SOMETHING or MANY THINGS. Not a single power is GIVEN to the Feds in the articles. Every bit of text is a prohibition on the government."
But, assuming you believe nothing I have written. We'll take it from the guy that wrong the fucking thing in the first place.....
"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."

The clocks at my primary school would reset themselves daily. We could have had a 1s drift by the end of the day and never notice because every 6 am they'd all 'sync up'.
Wow. I had forgotten all about those. When I saw your post I remembered those at my own primary school as well.
I vaguely recall being there outside of the normal school hours (maybe a parent-teacher-student meeting or something) and seeing the clock in the room speed way up to the point the minute hand was moving quite a bit faster than the second hand normally did, and then once the correct time was reached the clock returned to running at normal speed.
I'm guessing the clock had been running fast and needed to zip all the way around to reach the correct time. I suspect had it been running slow it would have only taken a moment to zip forward to the correct time.
Spoken exactly like someone who has never used quality anything in their life.
If you have a wall clock that keeps good time and is working, why the fuck would you replace it, genius? Do you get off on spending money to replace working widgets?
You know, not everything was always made cheaply/shoddily in China. The pre-2000's was full of companies that actually made decent stuff. But the absolute idiocy of the current crop of consumers is what destroyed that. I personally know people who will buy a $5 widget once a month (when it breaks) rather than shell out for a $25 widget that will last a year because "It's cheaper and it's gonna break anyhow". It's like you people are devoid of the ability to see the value of quality. Fucking everything is shit now because of you dead-brains. I still see land-line telephones in operation that are approaching 70 years old, because they were made to last.
Most companies that made decent products simply could not continue to do so once you retards became a dominate spending force. Selling your widget to 10% of the population while 90% of the population buys the cheap piece-of-shit ripoff/clone doesn't encourage anyone to continue making decent products....
It always has been an individual right. The Federalist Papers make that quite clear. it's the Supreme Court that has fucked up on the interpretation time and time again. There's a reason why Jefferson thought we'd have to have a revolution frequently. Governments always devolve into corruption. ALWAYS
You don't know what "well regulated" and "militia" mean in regards to the framer's intent. It's NOT what you think. I'm really getting tired of explaining this to you leftist morons.
The framers DID NOT WANT A GOVERNMENT RUN MILITIA. They were terrified of standing armies and they did not trust the government. They did not even trust the one they had just created as evidenced by the Bill of Rights - which DOES NOT GRANT YOU FREEDOMS. The Bill of Rights PROHIBITS THE GOVERNMENT FROM INFRINGING THEM.
It was the GOVERNMENT that was put on notice. YOU MAY NOT DO THIS, YOU MAY NOT DO THAT.
Most of the freedoms in the Bill of Rights were considered Self Evident. Most people naturally know they have a right to self-defense, to the preservation of their own existence. It's why we have a self-preservation INSTINCT. It was a uniquely American situation when these right was CODIFIED INTO SUPREME LAW.
GUNS ARE PROTECTION FROM THE GOVERNMENT. You need not take my word for it. You can read the Federalist Papers, which are the notes and thoughts of the framers during the time of the Constitution. It explains what they were thinking, what the intent was, what the grand plan was. We don't have to guess.
As you liberal twats love to point out, yeah... In this day and age a rifle isn't a whole lot of help against a drone, but it is better than nothing
By the way, cunts, it's really disheartening that so many of you think that rifles would not be of any help against the government. Your very words and actions imply that you think the entire military would participate in the slaughter of citizens. Some would. Some people just love taking orders and using it to justify evil deeds. But some, certainly, would NOT. So, it wouldn't ONLY be the government with tanks and planes and C-4. There'd be plenty of that on the side of the resistance, should things ever escalate that far..
I hope things never do go that far, but I WILL NOT BE AN UNARMED VICTIM..... EVER
I've been using Yahoo (I got PO'd by Google's AMP a while back) and it's pretty decent. It's only about once a week or so when I can't find the result I was looking for in the first couple pages and I have to re-try the search in Google.
Except..... Yahoo search is powered by Google. There's only two US-based search engines (of any decent market share) anymore.... Google and Bing.
In October 2015, Yahoo reached an agreement with Google to provide services to Yahoo Search through the end of 2018, including advertising, search, and image search services.
The total body count for Communism is indeed quite high, but it fails to take into account the fact that they've had a lot longer to do it, and much greater resources at their disposal. The only reason the Nazis' count isn't higher is that they ran out of time: given a larger empire and several decades, there can be little doubt that they'd have done far worse.
But there is doubt. We don't know what they would have done. We only know what they did do and what the Socialists did. When you compare the two, it's the socialists who racked up the higher body count. By far.... Like, it's not even close. Do I suspect the Nazis would have been just as bad? Yeah... But I can't present that as evidence because it's not. However, I can show you the atrocities of the socialists and I can present it as evidence, because it did happen. It's history, not speculation.
Dammit; I'm trying to remember the name of the fallacy where disagreeing with A supposedly means that B is good. You and your so-called friends have been spewing it all over the place. I am not attempting to claim that Communism is remotely acceptable. I'm merely pointing out that there are things even worse than Communism, and, well, you're it.
But there is no fallacy here. We don't have a situation where you picked A and I accused you of hating B, or vice versa. You presented the two options and then told us which you would have chosen. No outside influence was present. You said "Nazi vs Communism. I choose Communism".
I'm merely pointing out that there are things even worse than Communism, and, well, you're it.
And once again, you prove you are a fucking moron. You take my political stance or my debate against you and you say "What you say/think/feel/etc is worse than an institution that exterminated 100+ million people". Do you really not get how fucking retarded that is? I mean, seriously... What the hell? That level of logic is on par with you announcing you dislike Chocolate and I say "Oh my God, you're worse than a slave holder". Yeah, I'm serious. My views, opinions, thoughts, and maybe even stupidity (I don't claim to be omniscient or infallible) are not worse than a ideological, cultural, and political system that killed more people than live in Egypt (pop 96,000,000). If you don't understand that, then there is no hope for you (but it still DOES NOT make you WORSE than communism or fascism). It just makes you an idiot.
Those who meet after locking eyes over the water cooler are more likely to enjoy long lasting love, new research has revealed.
Despite discouragement from companies and colleagues, office romances are more likely end in marriage than relationships that start in any other way - even meeting through friends.
By contrast, relationships begun in a nightclub or pub almost always end in either a fling or a one-night stand.
This idea that we can't have any social / romantic interaction AT ALL at work or (to take your argument) anywhere else is BULLSHIT. The line should be harassment and no further. You ask a co-worker out, she says no.. No harm, no foul.. You ask again, problem.. Absolutely. But this idea that works needs to be pure monotony is stupid. And yes, the "It's an OS not a dating site" should have the same fucking line...
Meanwhile, socialism is a big part of what makes northern European countries some of the best places in the world to live, by all relevant metrics.
Lies! Those economies are teetering on the brink. And those that aren't are being propped up by those who are still producing and are working capitalistic systems.
I'm tired of the constant EVIL that is espoused as virtue. SOCIALISM IS EVIL. It's not "a good idea on paper". IT IS EVIL.
