It was true before that even. Anything you post to FB since 2008 was THEIR PROPERTY. Period. Your control over "your account" does not actually amount to jack the fuck all. It's theirs. You gave yourselves to them.
Unless FB's terms of service have changed, that's not true. You retain ownership of everything you put on Facebook. However! Facebook can use anything you put on the site, or any information you give them, for any purpose whatsoever. And no, I don't trust Facebook one bit.
Says the guy supporting a KKK member as VA gov in Northam
A serial rapist as VA Lt. Gov in Fairfax
In addition that same Northam told us about how he supports killing live born babies brought to full term and calling it abortion.
Sure, you support the KKK, rapists, and killing babies.
Congratulations! You are literally a monster
You sure you want to stand by that last statement? I ask because David Duke and the KKK have literally announced their support for Donald Trump. I'm not saying Trump is a racist; I'm saying other racists think Donald Trump is a racist. So congratulations.
Funny, I expected it'd be a Democrat. Take their guns, ridicule their religion, tax their sodas, "Think of the children" and all that.
It's a bit funny to me that people still think the Democrats want to take poeple's guns. How long have we been hearing this? And yet, it hasn't happened, even when they controlled both houses and the Presidency. Sure, they want to regulate them more strictly. But the 2nd Amendment says they should be regulated, so I'm not sure why that would be controversial.
The blackface thing seems silly. It really is no different than men dressed as women in the theater of old. The only negative tone is in the ignorant views of african americans during the time period black face was used, that has nothing to do with blackface itself.
Oh shit, really? Yeah, the ignorant views of what and who black people were was definitely the issue. And that is why everyone should know that wearing blackface is not okay. It's like saying that the problem with the KKK was not the white sheets and hoods. True, but the white sheets and hoods are now associated with violent racism. So they are a problem, just like blackface is a problem.
There shouldn't be any government roads and nobody should be 'giving money to a company to build the road'.
A need would generate enough demand that would allow a company to issue bonds across the local population to build the road, there would be a private contract for such a road. This road would serve a purpose, it wouldn't be there for political reasons, it would be there for economic reasons, and if it is there for economic reasons then there is competition for such a resource and there is private ownership and thus private stewartship of a road.
A government can spend unlimited money on infrustructure that doesn't do anything, doesn't do anything useful, provides only a reason to steal tax money and to gain political advantage.
A company will spend when there is a profit motive and the people decide whether there should be a profit motive in building any type of infrastructure. Corporate execs are *irrelevant*, whether they are pillars of anything is irrelevant, the only meaningful question is this: is there a need that can genereate profit and if there is a need, does it cover the expense so that the return on the investment would make sense.
Things should be built where they are necessary, not because there is a way to steal and spend everybody's money.
OMFG, you Libertarians are hilarious. You don't like taxes, but are willing to pay for every road to be a toll road. What if the road is not maintained? What are you going to do about it? Complain to the company? They are making more money by not maintaining the road, why should they care what you think? What if they jack up the tolls? What are you going to do, not drive to work? You gonna sue them? LOL
When the scientific establishment calls for relocation policies that encourage colonization of "flyover country" in the US by the coastal population.
I'm perfectly willing to accept the possibility that "global warming" is happening, but until the discussion is "it's happening, but why" and all "whys" are entertained including "we have no control, move in with the Hillbillies if you don't want to drown" I'm not going to give much credence to the fearmongering because skin in the game determines the degree of commitment one has.
Really? Do you not steer your car until the last possible second before impact?
Wouldn't it be nice to do something about the issue before we have to undergo mass migrations? If you are so willing to accept the possibility that AGW is real, and since you do have skin in the game by virtue of living on this planet, why not look into it rather than dismissing warnings a "fear mongering"? Why wouldn't you consider calls for mass relocation "fear mongering"?
"representing the loss of 14 billion tons of ice."
So they KNOW for a fact that ice has always been there? Or are we just assuming it was there because we did not find this until now? There are a lot of assumptions going on here... and because of the "Cult of Global Warming" it is now impossible have have responsible discussion.
Was the ice there before? Why is that information not being provided? Oh wait... I get it... just like people of faith are required to accept the existence of their Gods, the GW Cult expects all the deniers to take what they think on faith too!
Science these days is starting to require more faith than many religions.
This post is unintentionally hilarious. It is indeed impossible to have a responsible discussion, when one side of it doesn't even bother to know the facts. If you had read the article you would know that the researchers have been watching the area for years and have recorded an increase in the size of the void. How can you expect to be taken seriously when you can't be bothered to do some basic research?
Do these morons think that if humans had never graced the face of the Earth that these glaciers would never ever melt for all of time?
The glaciers are going to melt, because their existence is cyclical, as the very same climate "scientists" will tell you. There are well-established periods of glaciation followed by well-established periods of pole-to-pole tropics.
THE GLACIERS ARE GOING TO MELT WITH OR WITHOUT HUMAN ACTIVITY.
This means that human contributions to climate are COMPLETELY FUCKING IMMATERIAL.
We should be focusing our energy on adaptation rather than obstinate refusal to go along with mother nature. We could spend the sum total of human wealth on trying to stop it, only to buy ourselves maybe a couple hundred years, or we can just adapt.
Say what? Human contribution is, of course, completely material.
If you put an ice cube on the kitchen counter, it will melt. If you take a flame to it, it will melt much faster. But according to you, the flame is immaterial. Besides, the glaciers formed naturally many years ago. So assuming they will melt regardless does not really make sense. I'd advise you to work on your own reasoning skills before calling people morons.
I can appreciate that. There has definitely been an increase in stupid responses like that. But Slashdot has always been that way to an extent. There's that guy, or guys, who used to keep posting about anal sex with black people, and we used to have lots of sneaky goatse links. I kind of like that Slashdot takes all comers, even the stupid ones.
It's not the melting plastic tank, it's the well known fact that propylene glycol breaks down in to formaldehyde when heated.
Not just formaldehyde, but a whole bunch of different carbonyls.
Not as much as burning tobacco, but not insignificant either.
e-cigarettes are not as bad as real cigarettes, but they're still not good for you.
Later this year a lot of countries are planning on regulating vaping in a similar manor as tobacco.
New Zealand is banning their use inside public places (bars, restaurants, etc) like we did with smoking years ago. They're also restricting advertising and sale to minors too.
The FDA applies a lot of the same rules to ecigs as they do it regular cigrettes.
I don't think anyone is saying that e-cigarettes are harmless. But as you say they are much less harmful than tobacco cigarettes. That is the point, at least as far as helping people stop smoking.
I quit smoking 4 years ago with the help of a vaporizer. I feel much better now, can breathe more deeply, and perform better in my workouts. My lung capacity has improved noticeably, and I don't cough nearly as much as I used to. I will certainly not claim that vaping is the same as just breathing air. But my personal experience has shown me that it is much less harmful than cigarettes. The next step now is to quit the vaping too. But at least I have mitigated the harm in the meantime.
Meth, heroin and cocaine are still completely illegal and you go to jail forever for addicting yourself to them. But since there's an industry behind nicotine, deceptively packaged and marketed and scientifically backed, well... profit away!
You're comparing nicotine with meth, heroin and cocaine? Those drugs are much more powerful and potentially harmful than nicotine. That is ostensibly why they are illegal (leaving aside the political reasons they are illegal), not because they are addictive. Caffeine is addictive too, but I don't see you comparing it to any of those drugs. And right fully so, because nicotine is more on the level with caffeine than any of those other drugs.
I trust russia more than I trust CIA or FBI. Fuck the deep state, and fuck anyone implying that getting a foreign 2nd opinion on anything is unpatriotic. Shove that stupid stateist propaganda up your dumb snowflake ass.
Why would you trust either one?
Look man, Guccifer 2.0 was outed as a Russian intelligence front by the Dutch intelligence services. They are the ones who told the CIA and NSA about the Russian hacking of the DNC. They literally watched the operatives walking in and out of the building that housed the Internet Research Agency. Are the Dutch part of the Deep State too? Facebook has admitted that they were used by Russian actors to influence US popular opinion, both on the left and the right. It is also well known that Putin really hates Hillary Clinton. Trump should know all this.
But Trump asked Putin about his government running operations against the US, and Putin said they didn't. That was good enough for Trump! He literally took the word of the guy who is accused over the researched and substantiated assessment of the US intelligence agencies. It's ridiculous.
You're mentally ill. Do you realize that? No, of course you don't, otherwise you'd be seeking help instead of insanely comparing support for the president with the KKK.
Your mental illness has allowed you to be brainwashed by DNC bullshit. They need little minions to help carry out their plans of overthrow, and you are allowing them to use you as one of their pawns. Everything they've fed you about Trump is propaganda, and you're parroting it just as they've told you to. In the meantime, you fail to see the real enemy.
Funny how you think it's fine to mock oppression when it's happening to white men. I wonder how you would feel if someone started calling women and minorities delicate for complaining about being oppressed too. No, let's not kid ourselves, I don't have to wonder at all. You would be screaming "Racism!" and "Nazi!" so loud you would wake your neighbors.
But it's okay when YOU do it, right? Cause that's different.
And yet I bet your delicate sensibilities are triggered by something as mild as someone daring to say "It's okay to be white" in your earshot.
It's funny because white men have historically, and in the present, had advantages in society purely because of the color of their skin. Now that their dominant position is being encroached upon by women and people of other skin colors, some of them cry oppression. White men are not oppressed in American society; not by a long shot.
Is this not the nation where "All men are created equal"? Ahem.
As long as they are not CIS-gender, white men... Or to the right of Mao or Stalin. Or eat meat. Or ever drove a truck. Or made a comment that could ever possibly make anyone feel uncomfortable. Other than that, yes - we're all equal. Especially if you choose to break 18 USC 1924 and are well-connected, politically - that makes you more equal than others!
Is 18 USC 1924 the one that gets you into the champagne unit of the TANG and then lets you go AWOL to work on your dad's campaign? Or is it the one that finds a doctor that will diagnose you with bone spurs so you don't have to go to Vietnam?
There are two good things about Trump: (1) his negotiating strategy appears to be more realistic, i.e. he's very combative and aggressive and (2) he's annoying all the right people.
LOL, Trump gets rolled in every negotiation he takes part in. How's that denuclearized North Korea thing working out? He is certainly combative and aggressive, I'll give you that.
And annoying all the right people? The Republicans really have made spite and resentment their political philosophy.
Is it 'better the con you see than the one you don't' time?
Or did you like it when that all was happening virtually unopposed? Me, I like it when the philosophy I reject is being rejected and overthrown. Those that support that philosophy, though, even resort to direct violence in response. War? Molon Labe.
Agreed. Good thing the Justice Dept is taking apart Trump's organization one person at a time. If Trump wanted Hillary locked up, he should have hired her to work on his campaign.

The requirement seems to be tied to a job, so it's your job that's on the line not your freedom.
I guess freedom really is just another word for "nothing left to lose".
or other shitty minorities?
Yes... Let the hate flow through you.
Wouldn't it be nice to do something about the issue before we have to undergo mass migrations?
Sure, but you cunts don't want a wall, so we're going to be pretty fucked when the mass migrations get here.
As if a wall would stop that...

The data are open to interpretation. The lesson to me is that the speed limit is too low, if so many people want to go over it.
