Well science definitely identifies 3 races. You can't watch an episode of Forensic Files and not here about what race the skeleton is. Either white, mongloid or negro. Sounds about right. Everything else is just culture and mixing of those core groups.
I already commented, but mod Cederic up on that post. NYT has an article from 2009 talking about how Obama refused to give up his Blackberry and fought tooth and nail to keep it. GW Bush on the other hand was said to have sent essentially a farewell email to many friends upon taking office.
Trump is literally just copying Obama on this one.
Where is anyone saying it is okay? I hear people screaming and crying Trump is an idiot. Okay, we know that. He wasn't elected so much as Hillary was voted against. It's that simple. Plus Obama didn't exactly bridge any gaps. He was very much a divisive figure.
So in short, no one thinks it is a good idea to let Trump use his personal consumer device just like no one thought Hillary should have a private email server for government work.
It would be nice to write them both off as idiots but they are actually both smart, ambition and dangerous people.
I'm sure I am not understanding something correctly, but I was under the impression healthcare in Canada was free. How is it you spend $600 a month on healthcare? I could see if you had premiums, were actively going to physical therapy multiple times a week and had numerous prescriptions you needed to fill, but isn't that part of free healthcare that Canada provides?
I only ask because while I only have my wife and I to cover, she does go to PT bi-weekly but we don't spend half as much on healthcare. We don't have any needed drugs though and I have pretty good insurance through my work, but we live in USA. Genuinely asking.
To be fair regarding the gun permit, that required a federal background check. You can't be illegally here and own a gun, but you can be illegally here and go to school and get a student ID.
Also, if getting out of jury duty is more important then voting, why should they get to vote at all? If you are so concerned about how our government is running, you should be doing your part and serving on a jury if it comes up. Besides, if going is truly a hardship, you won't have to go.
I've voted every opportunity since I turned 18 because it was important to me. If voting is important to a person, of any age, they will get registered and take the time to go vote.
We are better off sending drones and satellites with science labs already onboard. This does sound better then a manned mission to Mars though. Being able to build a space craft or space station in the atmosphere of Venus sounds incredible and a whole lot more practical then going to Mars.
Both seem like overly expensive, resource intensive activities that we would be better off sending more drones.
You aren't the typical driver. You may also be more educated and more intelligent then the average driver. If everyone was as good as you, we wouldn't need self driving cars.
Alas, you are not the average and pretending you are the average is deceitful.
Though the appeal to self driving cars for most people is they won't have to drive. We can sleep. We can get ready for work. We can do all sorts of fun things that don't involve paying attention to driving. I can't wait.
I kind of imagine most of the places that are affected by this are rural, low income, low population density areas. This defines many red states fairly accurately outside of their one or two towns they try to call cities. In a way, they are getting the government they voted for.
Now if only the same government that won't protect consumers would stop handing out monopolies to companies offering essential services and we could see the good side of deregulation, instead of just seeing the shitty side.
Alas, we all know that is exceedingly unlikely to happen short of a revolution.
To be fair, if you only ever had sex as a virgin with a virgin spouse you just married, your chance at getting an STI is almost zero. I'm not saying that's practical or in the norm with how we live, but if you did live that way you would not need the vaccine in the first place.
Good for Australia for trying to get everyone vaccinated. People aren't meant to be monogamist and most aren't. Many are serial monogamist (one partner after another) but that's still not actual monogamy.
His sex life has absolutely no real baring on anything, now does it? If we weren't so puritanical in the US this would not be such a big deal. Heck, remember when the last French president was photoed riding a moped with his mistress? The biggest concern was for his safety as he didn't have any secret service with him. They barely even mentioned or cared that he had a side girl.
Here, we would completely go for character attack because god forbid someone have sex outside of marriage, or while married to someone else. Oh the humanity. The reason people lie about their sex life is because it is not your fucking business.
They are dead. They have no need for privacy and if they were murdered, the living have a vested interest in finding the killers before they kill again.
Coal outside of energy generation probably has a significantly lower profit-margin. We will always need healthcare. Coal can be shifted away from with the correct political will.
Heck, we could use nukes for power and be so much better off, but to many NIMBYs so it won't ever happen.
Except the US government doesn't round up citizens for reeducation. We don't (yet) have a citizenship score that can greatly restrict our ability to travel or buy property.
China on human rights really does make us look great, even with the bullshit at the boarder.
What happens to their market value when the US government takes an interest in them, beyond what they already do? If Google starts selling a software solution to help the Chinese government essentially round up undesirables, how is this much different then IBM helping the Nazis?
Both are companies putting profits before people. Our government might possibly try and stop that.
On the other hand, US government will probably just want access to all the data anyway and just let it happen.
There are approximately 20 million white people living in poverty in the US. There are approximately 10.5 million blacks living in poverty. About 12.6 latino in poverty.
I don't know how I can find out what percentage of those in poverty by race actually vote, but the idea that it is racist to have a voter ID card as it unfairly burdens those in poverty which supposedly affects minorities more. That is only true by percentage of race against the entire US population.
The US Census declared that in 2014 14.8% of the general population lived in poverty:[48] 10.1% of all white non-Hispanic persons 12.0% of all Asian persons 23.6% of all Hispanic persons (of any race) 26.2% of all African American persons 28.3% of Native Americans / Alaska Natives
Total 318,558,162 100% One race 308,805,215 96.9%
White 197,362,672 62.0%
Hispanic or Latino 55,199,107 17.3%
Black or African American 40,241,818 12.6%
American Indian and Alaska Native 2,597,817 0.8%
Asian 16,614,625 5.2%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander 560,021 0.2%
Other races 15,133,856 4.8% Two or more races 9,752,947 3.1%
White and Black or African American 2,525,509 0.8%
White and American Indian and Alaska Native 1,884,407 0.6%
White and Asian 1,956,740 0.6%
Black or African American and American Indian and Alaska Native 318,302 0.1%
Yes, by percentages, minorities are more affected by poverty. Guess what? They still have ID. Many poor people have alcohol issues. They have id to buy it, trust and believe. If you have a taxpaying job, you have ID. If you rent an apartment from someone other then your friend, you had a credit check done and they want ID.
If you have a bank account, you'll need ID. College students go drinking. They get both real AND fake IDs. That's going the distance really.
If voting is important to an individual, then they will take the time to fill out a voter registration form and get a government issued ID. It doesn't even have to be a driver's license. In California the DMV issues both driver's license and non-driver ID cards. You can get one for your child if you want.
Politics is the only real answer to why we can't have a national ID. Having ID is not a burden. Poor people have ID. They aren't helpless, they are just poor.
I'm 34 and got carded today. Happens frequently in fact. Besides, did you drive to the store? Then you have government issued ID or broke the law.
It really is sad we can't have a national voter ID. Even Mexico has them. I just heard an ad on the radio not long ago telling Mexican citizens it is their civic duty to get their ID and vote.
The vast majority of functioning adults drive, have bank accounts and go to work, school or both.
Any more reasons we can't have identification to vote? I mean, it's only the mechanism we have in place to decide who gets to run the country. Not important right?
Try going around an apartment complex "testing" doornobs and see how long before someone confronts you or just outright calls the cops. You aren't allowed to do penetration test of other peoples' property without their permission.
Just because "its with a computer" doesn't really change anything. Someone leaving their front door unlocked doesn't mean you can come in and wander around. It's still trespassing.
So really, the article should of said, stupid person that thinks "on a computer" doesn't count.

Wait, you thought Clinton was going to win the last election?

If we waited until all that we would never have new technology.

Ever look up street racing...no not the legal kind either.
By % it is a small group but I'm sure motorcycles will be allowed. Most people won't ride them though.

Keep your legs shut if you don't want uninvited fetuses from showing up.
It goes both ways. Takes a sperm and an egg to make happen. One can't do this alone.
To be fair, if you only ever had sex as a virgin with a virgin spouse you just married, your chance at getting an STI is almost zero. I'm not saying that's practical or in the norm with how we live, but if you did live that way you would not need the vaccine in the first place.

Coal is a dying industry and they know it.

Totalitarian or authoritarian is neither left or right. Both Fascist and Communist can be and typically are totalitarian.

Hmm, most of history is not liberal or conservative. Most would be monarchs and dictators. Even before city states, you would have tribal leaders.
The only thing that has really changed is our technology has advanced rather abruptly in the last 200 years.
It will be really curious to see where we are in another 200 years.
Totalitarian leftist sound about right though. China is the totalitarian left. The US is significantly farther to the right but just as totalitarian.
Both leftist and rightist are quite okay with being totalitarians. Like most people, they think they are right-minded and have all the answers.
Liberals, or liberty-focused would lean more toward anarchy then authoritarianism (totalitarian).
But please, feel free to think China (super liberals, communist right?) are the way to be. Rather live in USA or Europe any day.
