My biggest problem with it is the use of the pronoun "its" instead of "his". The attacker (or hacker) may be male or female, but correct grammar uses the masculine pronoun when the sex of the antecedent is unknown. Are you people THAT politically correct or is it just a lack of education?
Amen, brother! As a 62 year old who wears ever-stronger glasses just to see how to get around, I want the largest television screen I can afford.
And I want it to be as dumb as a box of rocks, without sound if I can get it that way. I just need a monitor for cable television, Blu-ray player, FireTV, computer, etc.. Just give me one with plenty of HDMI inputs (my current one has three) and I'm a happy camper.
"In a democracy, citizens are allowed to participate in government."
See? You have it assbackwards right there. The citizens formed the government and gave it limited powers. We've let the government usurp our power over the years because of uneducated and apathetic voters. The evidence that we've fallen too far already is your own statement. There is no hope left if everybody is hopelessly ignorant of their own power over government.
For people who read the site regularly those two choices are fine, but for those who might visit the site only three or four times a year, ad blocking seems to be the only choice.
There are a lot of news sites that I visit only a handful of times a year. I'll be damned if I pay for access when I rarely use it.
Religious freedom can go only so far. If your religion specifically tells you to kill non-believers, then maybe, just maybe, the rest of the citizens might want to watch you very closely or even curtail your activities.
In other words, Muslims have said they would bomb and kill "infidels", and so far they've lived up to their word. Only a damned fool stands around waiting to be killed after he's threatened with death. And I'm certainly not holding my breath until they become civilized.
I'm 62 and I love Minecraft! An eight year old got me started by asking me how to do things within the game. I started playing so I could answer his questions, and got hooked. I could play for hours.
Women? I've had more than my fair share and now I'm slowing down in that particular activity. The parts still work, but the desire to use them has declined, much like my 64 year old girlfriend's.
Scotch? I don't drink. That's dangerous.
Other people? I don't really like crowds, if that's what you're talking about. Family and a few friends will do for me. When you have NINE grandchildren, you don't really have to go far to be among people.
Volunteering? Been there, done lots of that. I now prefer $$.
The outside? I've spent nearly 40 years working outside, several years as a Scout leader being outside, played sports outside, hunted outside, fished outside, etc.. I don't need more time trying to get skin cancer, thank you. After traveling on my job for so many years, I don't even want to go on vacation anywhere except home.
You need to realize that different people like to spend their time doing whatever they like doing. I suggest you spend yours chilling out a little.
For those of you old enough to remember, there was a time, not too long ago, when prescription drugs were not allowed to be advertised on television. We should ban them again, along with ads from lawyers (they used to be prohibited from advertising, too). It's not a matter of free speech - we ban tobacco companies from advertising on television - it's a matter of public good.
Today we have patients going into their doctor's office and demanding a drug they've seen advertised on television, BEFORE they're even examined to determine what's wrong! If they don't get what they think they need, they go to one doctor after another until they do, and sometimes the medicine they think they want is either not effective or dangerous.
If your calculations are correct, then my reasoning is as follows:
When somebody accuses me of a microaggression, that's when I know I have to step it up a notch to a full-blown aggression. I don't like doing anything in a small way. With your calculations, though, it sounds like way too much work to get overly aggressive. So, I think I'll just stick to being normally aggressive and insult everybody an equal amount (wouldn't want to be perceived as unfair, now would I?), and let all be offended the same. Oh, and I love pissing people off!
If someone is offended by anything I say or do, then all that means is that they're a lesser human being than I am and haven't evolved far enough yet. Or should I say "matured" far enough yet? It does seem that a lot of people in their early twenties show little or no maturity. Of course they're immature - they haven't lived long enough yet! Why do we even let them vote?
If any of this makes sense, understand that it wasn't intended to at all.
I live in Alabama and all the cattle farms I know of do exactly what you describe in the second list. The cows graze on grass, and in the Winter they eat hay that was grown during the Summer. Maybe when they're sold somebody will feed them grain before they're slaughtered, but I'm not even sure about that. I do know that some of the farmers sell beef directly to the consumer, and it's delicious!
The man I was working with today is one of Alabama's many small ranchers - averages around 50 head. He eats a LOT of beef, and it's all grass-fed beef.

They're surrounded by water and they still ration fish. Wow, what efficiency!
If it's their policy, then the policy should be changed. You're either in favor of free speech or you're not. At least Dawkins is being consistent.
What's your excuse?
"Embedded devices of some 50 manufacturers has been found sharing . . . . "
That should be "have been", not "has been". I'm sorry, but it just grates on my nerves.
I wondered how long it would take somebody to say that. Nobody like a hairy anus.

Sorry I'm late. I was having my hair done.
I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.
Ancient aliens!!

He and his family will donate the money to some radical Islamic group now that they're moving (or have moved already) back to the Middle East.
If the money is paid, it will be like buying weapons for our enemies. Fuck 'Clock Boy' and his whole family.
We've all said it before and we've been right all along.
Especially if the robot drones are 3-D printed!!
It's just a shame Lucas wasn't done with Star Wars decades ago.
Start with Obama, then Bush, and then all of Congress (present members and living past members).

They believe in being dumb to kind animals.
And being dumb is pretty much all they have going for them.

Replace each monkey with a member of the Animal Rights Group!
They're not exactly like human beings, but they're closer than monkeys.
He should just go away. He pumps himself up by trying to talk down to people. I have as much science education as he does, and he grates on my nerves.

Unfortunately, yes, but I'm hoping it will die soon.
Google should just put their failed experiment out of its misery. Can anybody name somebody who loves Google+?
Something fast enough to run Minecraft!
