Germany and Turkey didn't "have to" take in any refugees at all, just like the US doesn't have to accept a single one. I have never heard such twaddle.
Seriously? We are supposed to be afraid of a little brush fire, when the damn thing has to be built to withstand the fires of hell every time a missile is launched?
What the rich want, on a fundamental level, is to have more than most everybody else.
No. Those who crave power and those who want THINGS are fundamentally different classes. The latter couldn't care less what everybody else has. They just want for themselves, and not to be bothered with irrelevant trivialities like what their fellow man has and how he is doing.
And why, pray tell, would the overlords profiting from all those robots bother to give you food? You will have no way to pay for it. The simple fact is that you will have no reason to exist. You will not be making anyone rich.
Yes. One is more likely to get action from outgoing Obama than from incoming Trump or Clinton. The caution is that that if "they" really want to get someone, they will. One could be pardoned. Then he could be railroaded later on, for some trumped-up charge of a new offense. Or he could just be found lying dead in the gutter some day, victim of a "random mugging".
[Snowden] acted indiscriminately and betrayed American intelligence-gathering methods to foreign powers
No, he didn't "betray" anything to "foreign powers". The claim is stupid. He blew the whistle on blatantly unconstitutional US intelligence activities.
Whatever China and Russia are, neither is a dictatorship. That is an ignorant characterization.
The President of China (head of state; mostly a figurehead) is elected by the National People's Congress, which in turn is elected by an interesting hierarchical election system, ultimately by the people. The Premier (leader of the State Council; head of government) is nominated by the President and approved by the Congress.
Russia is a multi-party state; more so than the US. The President is elected by the people. He appoints the Prime Minister. The Federal Assembly (Parliament) has two houses: the Duma, elected by proportional representation, and the Federation Council, whose members are separately selected by 85 "federal subjects" (very loosely analogous to "states" in the US) - similar to the original method of selection to the US Senate.
Sure, China has a shadow government in the form of the Communist Party, which controls the selection of those who stand for election Congress. Big deal. The USA has a shadow government in the form of the Demopublican establishment, with a death grip on the selection of those who stand for election to Congress and for President.
Where do you find a car weighing 1000 kg nowadays? A Mini was 600-700 kg in 1960. A VW bug was under 1000 kg. Today a Mini is 1200-1400 kg, a VW Golf is 1300-1400 kg, a Prius is 1400 kg, a Tesla S is 2000-2200 kg, a Ford Explorer is 2000-2200 kg, a Fiat 500 is 1100 kg, and a Yaris is 1100 kg
If you don't limit yourself to stupid brain-dead pared-down models of Xeon, you don't sacrifice the integrated graphics. Those that end in 0 are crap. Those that end in 5 or 8 are good. The e3-1225v5 is cheaper than the e3-1230v5 and has graphics. A much, much better deal. There isn't any 1235 (yet), but there is a 1245 and a 1275.

How about they fix their own goddam house?

Cue the over-the-top vituperation by both sides.
Look. I found a new word and I'm going to use it inappropriately without any idea of what it means.
Will they balance the mountain of mouth-breathing ignorant knee-jerk haters?
No. Those who crave power and those who want THINGS are fundamentally different classes. The latter couldn't care less what everybody else has. They just want for themselves, and not to be bothered with irrelevant trivialities like what their fellow man has and how he is doing.

All right. Who proofread that little gem?
Yes. One is more likely to get action from outgoing Obama than from incoming Trump or Clinton. The caution is that that if "they" really want to get someone, they will. One could be pardoned.

Name the specific methods exposed and assets betrayed. Or shut the fuck up. Your choice.

Cars nowadays, even tiny ones, are bricks.
Good luck finding a decent job after you've picked up a criminal record.
It is terrifying to think that there are people who have no conception of the destructive power of nuclear weapons.
It's crap. Pure crap.
1) A "universal" basic income that is NOT UNIVERSAL is a contradiction in terms.
2) Starvation-level UBI is an insult.
It's a nascent rename. My guess is the renaming will be complete when FreeBSD 11.0 is fully released.
EVERYTHING is rotten at Google. They've got a tin ear, a blind eye, and a dead brain.

There are flaws in every sufficiently complex piece of technology, and no, you can't just magically find them all by looking Real Hard.
No. May I repeat myself? HELL NO.
Correctimundo. The one standout brain-dead no-no.
Bzzzzzt. Combining tabs and spaces to make up a single indent level is BRAIN DEAD.
