It only applies to countries that are part of Trump's Muslim ban. The US government must have offered the UK something to follow suit and give their scheme legitimacy... We are kind of desperate with Brexit coming up and a desperate need for trade deals.
It's disgusting, we shouldn't be entertaining it.
Choices have consequences. Which do you want? A temporary ban for non-citizens or inconveniencing all travellers? Make your choice.
The liberal judges did this. If the US is not able to implement a temporary pause on travel from countries without proper vetting in place, they have to remove certain potential attack vectors. Everyone who travels by commercial airlines suffer because of it. The rich liberals are unaffected by this because they can fly with a private jet.
From where I stand, we are having a lot of snow in places where we usually do not have snow. I guess my lying eyes and sense are getting in the way of me being a true believer in this settled science. Get back to me when the science on coffee, alcohol, butter etc... is settled.
From what I can tell, scientists are whores who will sell themselves to the highest bidder.
Donald trump is a stinking pile of poo and Democrats are his allies we need a workers party to fight for socialist revolution! Full citizenship rights for all immigrants!!!!!!
You are a pawn of George Soros. He wants poor "workers" like you but he wants to remain rich.
BeauHD, trashy, salacious gossip about actresses in a SF film is still trashy and salacious gossip. You are single-handedly dragging this once-great site into depths of moronic self-parody unplumbed since the Jon Katz era. Seriously, this is like A Post Too Far. You are in need of an intervention, for the good of your entire organization.
You are still single huh? My wife picked out Leia and Han Solo cake topper for our wedding cake with signs that read "I Love You" and "I know".
Mostly because of words and actions that are remarkably similar to Nazis.
For example: just about every article ever on Breitbart.
The BLM rioters and cop killers are not associated with Breitbart. The shooter at that gay club was also not associated with it either. It seems to me that actual violence is being committed by Leftwing radicals. The Nazis were after all National Socialists.
I am anti Trump, openly liberal and I own guns. Lots.
My wife used to be anti guns until she watched W ruin the economy in 08. At that point she believed that if America elected another moron, rising unemployment/poverty would cause people to turn to crime to survive.
So you are a hypocrite who supports liberals who are anti-gun and believe that only people like you should have rights and freedoms. Do you know what we used to call those kind of people? Nazis. National "SOCIALIST" Worker Party. Interestingly, your democrats has become anti-worker and globalist.
and Trump has better odds being our next 3 presidents than I do getting married but I'll say this: No way in hell would I buy a woman a diamond engagement ring. Even without the ethical quandaries (blood diamonds anyone?) I'd still feel like a chump. I remember growing up thinking a diamond engagement ring was a 1000 year old tradition and finding out it was all made up in the 20s by marketing execs to sell diamonds.
Have you ever thought of it from her point of view? Think about what she is giving up for you. She is giving up looking for other mates. She is giving up her name. She is giving up a lot of things for love. She is choosing you over her friends. That is not to say that she would not still see her friends once in a while but when you get married, you are both supposed to make each other a priorty over your old "buddies". A diamond engagement ring is a symbol of your commitment level to the relationship.
I used to be a jaded nerd like you. Do you spend money on buying cars that depreciate in value, cannot love you back and you eventually have to replace? Do you spend thousands of dollars on technology that depreciate in value, cannot love you back and eventually breakdown or become obsolete?
How about thinking about showing your love and appreciation for the woman in your life with flowers once in a while and a diamond ring? Trust me, once you find that girl you will want to put a ring on it sooner rather than later.
Men only buy diamonds to woo women. Cultural shifts, however, are reducing this need in the following ways:
2) young men are becoming ever more disenchanted with traditional relationships and methods of obtaining them (it is an enormous international trend among young men these days, with no apparent cultural icons leading it...though I would speculate they are largely reacting to the divorce revolution, and the growing phenomenon of "princess syndrome" among middle class girls and women).
3) nobody has money to burn anymore, too much of it has flown too far up the class hierarchy to the super-rich, who only have so much demand for diamonds.
Social engineering worked amazingly well in an earlier cultural climate. In this one, those efforts are largely dead on arrival.
To sum it up, many men are removing themselves from the gene pool.
If you want kids, be prepared to "man up" and pursue a relationship. I used to be a man child but I realized that I had to grow up.
Dating sucks. You are not doing anyone any favours by trying to convince yourself and others that marriage is not a goal of yours. Do you want to be "forever alone" or happy with a wife that loves you? You will eventually get old and be unable to obtain dates if you do not take the plunge.
It's the democrats sending operatives to Trump rallies to incite violence. It's the democrats fixing their party primary for the favored candidate. It's the democrat nominee who does everything possible to escape any sort of transparency. It's the democrat nominee that wants to get us into a war with Russia.
Apparently, none of that matter if Democrats are doing it. The law does not seem to apply to them for some reason. They can also be racist or misogynist if they are supporting the LGBT in the same breath.
Three cash transactions can be done in the time it takes for you to use your slow-ass method.
I don't know where you shop for groceries, but where I live the "slow-ass method" consists of: Slide card into reader, enter PIN, wait for cashier to finish ringing everything up, hit OK, remove card.
Until it does not work due to a networks error or you forgot your pin. Also, you are a bit of an arse if you use your card on anything less than 5 bucks these days. Grownups are supposed to carry cash as a backup at least. If you do not have any cash on you, hand in your adult card and go back to preschool.
I would rather not have net neutrality and be given the option of buying from my provider "a la carte" channel packages which do NOT count against my data usage. You just want unlimited data for downloading warez.
Just hope you never plan on using any content provider outside of your ISP's sphere of control, in that case. Cuz they will make competing services unusable on their networks without net neutrality. You do know that, right? Can't see that hole you're digging? Get the hell out of it then.
Your tech support call would go something this:
Me: I'm having trouble getting netflix to work.
Them: Sorry sir, it must be a problem with netflix, we can't help you. We can however sell you a new subscription to our guaranteed to work streaming service that's not as good as netflix, but it'll stream very good for you, because we're throttling netflix into the dirt so everyone uses our services instead! You could try another internet provider, oh, sorry, we're the only one in this area cuz we bought all our competitors.
Welcome to the world of no net neutrality.
That is what data caps are for. Or, you can pay an extra fee for unlimited data like I did. I pay 15 bucks extra for unlimited data at 25 (26) Mbits/s. That is fast enough for UHD Netflix.
it's a limited live streaming service, not a replacement for cable or satellite television... especially cable + homerun or tivo....
and one that violates the very essence of net neutrality with at&t zero-rating this service's data on its own internet plans.
this is exactly why internet providers should ONLY BE internet providers.. not content providers, telephone companies, cable or streaming or satellite tv companies, etc etc etc.
Wow. So you would rather have less functionality for everyone because you want your precious "net neutrality" bullshit. Net neutrality prevents providers from coming out with IPTV solutions which is why your country is falling behind the rest of the world.
I would rather not have net neutrality and be given the option of buying from my provider "a la carte" channel packages which do NOT count against my data usage. You just want unlimited data for downloading warez.
Netflix in India. With out time shifting ability it isn't really useful.
Sorry? Do you understand what on demand streaming is? Netflix is on demand. That means that you can demand the see it later. Why would you need to time shift on demand content?
Where is the Silicon Valley of Europe? What has replaced Google, Facebook, and (dare I say it) Slashdot in Europe?
Where is the innovation that is far outstripping American workers?
Prove to me why you think an average European produce more than an average American, against all studies and measures of the subject and "I am your man!"
Uh, Siemens is a european company. Nokia was also a pioneer in the cellular industry. Angry birds?
Thank god that you are not American. Zero chance of buying a CHinese capsule.
And America needs to quit throwing their money away to Putin, let alone to China.
Wow. Congrats on confirming the stereotypes of Americas. You guys lost the innovation race because of your arrogance and stupidity. You keep of voting in idiots who you think are "cool". Unfortunately, Canada has caught that disease. Justin makes Dan Quayle look like a Rhodes scholar. He has nice hair though.
Far too many Democrats are spineless and will vote for Hillary regardless what comes to light. If you are a democrat with principles and you cannot bring yourself to reevaluate what party you belong to and vote Trump then the least you could do is not vote at all or vote for a third party.
As a Canadian, I am sad to see the joker the millennials and burned out hippies voted in as PM. The guy is clueless and arrogant. He has no respect for the working class and thinks it is OK to spend taxpayer money on lavish parties. The PM is NOT the head of state. Our head of state is the queen and her representative on the federal level is the governor general. Justin Trudeau thinks he was elected "KING" with less than 40 percent of the vote.
I think Justin was elected because seniors were disenfranchised by staff at care homes, by elections canada volunteers and I also believe many blindly voted on party lines instead of looking at leadership qualities. They should have not voted if they knew about the rigging of local riding candidate selections by Trudeau and other undemocratic moves made by the Liberals prior to the elections. The mainstream media also did not cover the destruction of election signs by NDP and Liberal supporters, the nazi graffiti painted on Conservative party campaign offices of local candidates as well as sexist threats toward female candidates. The fact is that the Conservative party fielded more women as candidates and people from more cultural backgrounds than the Liberals but the mainstream media was biased against the ruling party of the time.
Even though the Clintons are complete crooks and disgusting people, Trump is even worse. We need to stop this witchhunt. President Chelsea Clinton will get to the bottom of it when she is elected.
How is Trump worse? How many people died from his mistakes?
Probably yes.
Also out this week is:
MSNBC calling Star Wars racist, Darth Vader, the main villain is black
Make fun of that black multi-millionaire football player who would not stand up for the National Anthem is racist.
I am glad that you recognize the parody I was making unlike some people. We are all one race, the human race. We need to stop using these stupid labels. African American is a stupid label. Africa is a continent and if neither you or your parents were from another country, you are just an American. In fact, unless if you are born in another country and immigrated to the US, you are just an American regardless of what ethnicity you think you are.
A racist is a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
The term 'Mexican' does not identify race, but rather ethnicity, culture and national heritage.
In short, no.
*WOOOSH*
Your definition of racism is flawed. Racism is not just where someone believes a race is superior to another. You also fail to recognize the racism that Mexicans face every day. You also missed the opportunity to realize that there is actually only one race of humans and that the "racial" groups were invented by racist european scientists to justify their ethnic hatred and belief that they have a right to "own" people of other "races" as slaves.
Humans of various ethnicities can interbred with each other producing viable offspring. We all have the same basic set of genes with slight variation within our nuclear DNA. The only think people have to watch out for are blood factors and closeness of relatedness. Blood factors can be treated at this point.

The United States of America is not a union of citizens, but a union of states
"We the People" not "We the States"
United "States" "of" "America". What part of the do you not understand?

God, you're dumb.
Right, sorry, I mean torrents of movies and TV shows.
Corrupt anti-competitive behavior is "more" functionality on what planet?
You use salt & pepper while licking those corporate boots, or do you take them black?
If you want unlimited data then you should pay extra for it. Is that not fair?
