But there's no bigotry behind pro-lifers; it just comes down to a different worldview.
You make it sound symmetric, but it is not. Only one side wants to force their morality on others. That sounds bigoted to me. OK, I'm not American, so its hard to understand. I know people who believe abortion is wrong, but they don't seem to think they have a right to compel other people.
ELEVEN, you self-righteous potty-mouthed wanker. You were 130 years too late to be planet number 9. Go back to the Kuiper belt, and stop stealing our orbits.
Someone at police headquarters had expected that. Twice the usual number of copseyes floated overhead, waiting. Gold dots against blue, basketball-sized, twelve feet up. Each a television eye and a sonic stunner, each a hookup to police headquarters, they were there to enforce the law of the Park... Within King's Free Park was an orderly approximation of anarchy. People were searched at the entrances. There were no weapons inside. The copseyes, floating overhead and out of reach were the next best thing to no law at all.
Ain't nobody ever got the Go code yet. And old Ripper wouldn't be giving us plan R unless them Russkies had already clobbered Washington and a lot of other towns' internet with a sneak attack.
But gerrymandering has been around for a long time,
True, but reports say the number of swing voters used to be much higher.
When Trump started talking about rigged elections, I thought he might address this gerrymandering, which both parties have been doing for a long time. It is very damaging to American democracy, removing so many voters from having any chance at influencing the outcome.
The team ran a benchmark on one of their quantum computers to accurately measure the new increased speed. Unfortunately, they can no longer find the computer to repeat their test.
and now see a lot of them switching sides when the leak exposes a person on 'their side'..
Really? How many? How do you know it is not just the noisy small minority?
Yes, I'm talking about you, dear reader who picks a 'team,' whether R or D. YOU are what is wrong with America..
This seems to be a particular problem with America today. Not a generation ago, and not other developed countries. What has changed to become so partisan? I could blame the system where Americans register with a particular party. Or the optional voting, which makes candidates stir up their base with fear instead of competing for the middle ground. Or the first-past-the-post system, which favours the two incumbent parties.
But none of those things are new, and the US was not so polarised in the past. What has changed?
Emails of a personal nature, not relevant to public work should be ignored of course.
Matters of a private sexual nature included. Unless perhaps the emails are invoice from an escort service while the married politician is actively campaigning on "family values".
Their demand for gluten free has increased the supply and labeling of gluten free items for those who do suffer. Probably brought the prices down somewhat as well.
Sadly it has not helped the gluten-free versions of normally-glutinous food taste any more palatable.
I was expecting a Warrant canary. e.g. something to say they have not yet been been given secret orders by the NSA/CIA to install a backdoor for spying on users.
Like Apple used to have. Is there some reason Google cannot do that?
If you think they will improve, bet on Donald now, and Clinton then. Come election day, you win either way. Vegas is betting they will get worse for Donald.
Chinese space travelers are Taikonauts, much as Russian space travelers are Cosmonauts.
So what do you call a Chinese-born American resident who travels on a Soyuz spacecraft to work in the Italian-built ESA module of the International space station?
And yet countries like Canada where I live have a lower healthcare spend per capita, we have a longer life expectancy, and nobody here goes bankrupt from medical conditions.
I think you just described all other developed countries too. While true that US healthcare is exceptionally expensive, there is not evidence it is to blame for the lower life expectancy in the US. More road accidents, violence (notably guns), racial mix, and obesity do appear to be factors.
i.e. US healthcare is very effective, just horrifically expensive, both to individuals, and as a percentage of GDP.
Short men like Napoleon and Hitler set out to conquer Europe.
Fact-check please! There goes your credibility. Neither of those men were short. Both were above average for their times, Hitler at 175cm, and Napolean at 169 (5'7").
but you've provided a great example of one that doesn't.
He was just trying to lighten the mood, but you are shying away from the facts. Blacks do, on average have longer penises, and asians shorter. The differences are statistically quite significant, but much smaller than people imagine. Less than a centimetre.
You might say the bell-end curves have a large overlap. (thankyou)
But if it follows a normal distribution, even a small difference in average means you are going to have a lot more black guys at the extreme porn-star end of the distribution. So I guess if you are not paying much attention to penises, and only notice the exceptionally well hung ones in the shower room. it would be easy to get the impression that the average difference is more than it is.
By downplaying the difference, and not even mentioning which way it goes, you provide a good example of a subject where liberals avoid facts (though not outright denying them). Penis size is a good example, because its not especially controversial, and everyone likes to talk about dicks.
Its not only conservatives who ignore or deny reality when it conflicts with their beliefs. Liberals can have their own blind-spots to science, such as gender and racial differences.
This is good. A way to make unlocking the bootloader easier. We should all already assume that a person with extended physical access to a phone can get control over it. The only protection is full-device encryption with a strong password. (Or PIN with crypto chip done better than the iPhone the FBI was recently in the news over.)
We don't want to have to enter that every time we unlock the screen, so a compromise is to use the encryption password on boot-up, and a fingerprint/PIN/pattern on screen unlock.
Never fired a shotgon at a fast moving target (or at all?) have you.
Have you ever flown a drone? They don't just home in on a hidden target like in the movies. And if the target is in the open, you are much better off with the RPG.

Aside from market saturation, our phones are now so absurdly huge, we don't need no tablets.
My phone is now actually bigger than my first tablet.

Fair enough. Of course Ceres *was* considered a planet for a long time before being demoted, just like Pluto.
AC appears to have vCJD. That would explain a lot of his posts.
TEN, you fucking cunts.
Signed,
Pluto.
ELEVEN, you self-righteous potty-mouthed wanker. You were 130 years too late to be planet number 9.
Go back to the Kuiper belt, and stop stealing our orbits.

Ceres.

Pretty much any system you can think of can be gamed.
All you need to do is look at how other countries solve the problem.

Im sad you didnt die. No truly. anyone who thinks people should be jailed for their opinions or beliefs deserves to fucking die!
Is there no limit? What about the South Africans telling people they can cure AIDS by having sex with a virgin. Is that a protected "opinion" too?

Ecuador does not want to be seen taking steps to interfere in a US election.
You sure? Given the history of CIA meddling in Ecuador (and the rest of South & Central America), Correa might relish the chance.

Earth? We should never have come down from the trees before we solved the problems there first!
Some say even emerging from the oceans was premature.
