    Hillary uses the slimy dishonesty of a trial lawyer, as befits her training. That she thinks is not a good thing, because her goal is death and destruction,

  2. Johnson is a flibbertigibbet, as totally clueless as a Valley Girl. His naivete on foreign affairs is worse than Trump's bravado and Clinton's passive-agressivism.

    Clinton has dedicated her life to evil. Trump, on the other hand, is nearly amoral. Clinton is bitter and hateful, and will advance the regime of political repression that Obama started. Trump is very bad on free speech and property rights. Clinton is guilty of treason and murder, Trump is nowhere near that range of destruction.

    It's racist to prevent immigrants from coming to the US of A for a better life

    Prove it. Note that "for a better life" is an irrelevant rhetorical trick.

    We should have no borders

    In order to accomplish what? Encourage the entrance of Jihadists and drug smugglers?

    even if most end up relying on tax payer funded social services,

    Further weakening the US economy

    and we should surrender all sovereignty to the United Nations.

    Looters and tyrants devour the decaying corpse of freedom.

    The claimed number of illegal immigrants in the US varies somewhat depending upon whom you cite. The latest numbers I can find (2014) indicate that the number has stabilized over the last decade, ending a long period of escalation. The 2014 number is neither the lowest nor the highest of the last ten years.

    The Bushes, Clinton, and especially Obama have damaged economic growth in the US. The bad economy discourages new immigrants. This is reflected in the portion of illegals that have been in the US over 10 years, which has increased dramatically (and the portion here less than 10 years, obviously, has decreased).

    crime rates of illegal immigrants are the lowest among all racial groups

    Been eating those old paint chips again, haven't you? For starters, the crime rate of illegal immigrants is 100%, because illegal immigration is a crime. Beyond that, hit-and-run collisions and drunk driving are disproportionately high in the illegal immigrant community. If they're working, that's another crime. (They're either not paying Social Security and other income-related taxes, or if they are they're doing it on false SS numbers.) They're the main consumers of forged and stolen IDs, which is how they get around welfare requirements.

    Oh - and illegal immigrants aren't a "racial group".

  11. Why OS? on Pennsylvania's Voting Machines Are Running Windows XP (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Voting machines should be open-source coded in assembly language to run directly on the hardware, and the hardware should be open source - something like a clean-room recreation of a 6502 or Z80. Every gate, every mask, should be verified by hand against the schematics, and every machine code in ROM disassembled by hand and compared against the source listings.

    Nothing in the voting mechanisms should be capable of being hidden, nor should it be so complex that one person can't understand and verify the whole thing in a reasonable time, say 1 year.

    That means no OS, no proprietary hardware or software, nothing but obvious routines running on "metal".

  12. Aspects of it sound very leftist, particularly the not bathing.

  13. In the US, getting help can be beyond the means of the employed. FTFY.

  14. Your advice stinks. Work is the place you are most likely to find people with similar interests. Eat lunch with co-workers, learn who the decent people are. Don't delude yourself. If, after 6 months you ask someone and get refused for a date, never ask that person again. Never joke about sexual subjects.

    The Clintons got money by threatening, extorting, and accepting bribes from corporations, the Clinton "business" has always been law and politics. The Bushes were in the oil industry initially, they were corporations and with a big business viewpoint tended to support big businesses. The Clintons are corrupt and malicious, the Bushes misguided. Alas, the results in many areas differed little.
