Yeah, people forget that Perot is a major reason Clinton won in the first place.
That's a myth. Clinton had already pulled ahead of Perot before he dropped out, and Perot "took" an equal number of votes from Bush when he dropped back in.
If you have a difference of opinion you are shouted down as a racist, sexist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, literally double mega Hitler.
From Hillbots and other right-wing democrats. The only way they are "left" is being the left hand of the status quo, while the right hand talks shit about "illegal" immigrants. It's all designed to keep those who work for a living divided, so the rich can go on fucking every one over. It should have been a clue during the Democratic primary, where Hillbots were smearing Bernie Sanders and his supporters as white privileged know-nothings who were insensitive on race at best, while being a bunch of Bro misogynists.
This despite Hillary having a much more bigoted history than Trump - discrimination against gays, called black and brown kids Superpredators, wanted to throw refugee kids back to the military junta (that she supported) to "send a message to their parents".
I sit all day at work. At the same time, at 40 y/o I've never been in better shape -- because I've never had a more physically rigorous schedule outside of work hours.
And some smokers are gym rats - one healthy activity doesn't make up for an unhealthy one.
Besides, most of the men doing the studies would rather look at boobs than fingering your prostate.
Then you go on to rattle off some of the side effects of traditional prostate cancer treatments - not exactly making the case for why breast cancer research gets so much more money, despite people dying in comparable numbers for both types of cancers.
Doctors are the ones who are deciding NOT to treat prostate cancer
They spend all their effort focusing on ethnic and gender diversity with almost no effort for economic or cultural diversity.
Sounds like capitalist feminists - the problem with Wal-Mart for them isn't that they pay so little that their employees qualify for state aid, it's that the top positions at the company aren't filled by women.
Want to be more than a burger flipper - you best embark on a self-improvement project, years before you can walk into an R movie, to get educated. Get a degree in a field that pays a real wage, or get comfortable flipping burgers.
Unless that field collapses, or gets offshored, or there's a glut of other grads, or you discover you just cannot do linear algebra no matter how hard you try - well then you're an idiot for taking out student loans you couldn't afford.
If you're among the 1-percenters' offspring whose parents either went to these elite institutions or can afford to donate something substantial to get you in, why is it surprising that elite schools have more well-off students?
No more than it is "surprising" that the wealthy live much longer than the poor, another statistic that is in need of dramatic adjustment. Bring back 91% marginal tax brackets while providing universal health care and education.
There's basically 4 factors that determine where you end up in life -- how smart or successful your parents are, how wealthy they are, how much raw potential you have, and usually a whole lot of dumb luck.
The "dumb luck" is to be born to a rich set of parents. The poster children for this example is George W. and Neil Bush. The one kept getting handed multimillion dollar businesses to run into the ground, and the other "just happened" to have a couple of women knock his his hotel room door, looking to have sex with him.
This also means that you should not have any effect on the ability of your children to get a higher quality education.
Straw man alert. Even if private colleges were banned and the rich were forced to go to public schools, the Trump's and Romney's can always higher private tutors to give their kids a leg up over others.
Because nuclear power is far too costly and takes far too long to construct. Even assuming there is never another Chernobyl or Fukishima, nuclear power cannot be justified based on cost alone.
And current republicans want to get rid of all of them even minors with no family to go back to.
Is Trump's harassment of women ok because Bill Clinton did it first? Or, maybe the bad actions of one party do jack shit to justify bad actions from the other.
Current republicans wanted boots on the ground in Syria too! Obama wouldn't even sell them weapons at first because it is such a mess.
See above.
Um do you have any idea how many nuclear weapons there were?!
Do you know what a non sequitur is?
Right, so we should return the people who committed the torture to power because...
See above.
You've heard of NATO right? I'm pretty sure congress has.
Which NATO country did Libya attack, thus triggering a military response from the alliance?
you realize that it is the republicans in congress that have gone to incredible lengths to prevent the executive branch from being allowed to bring Guantanimo prisoners into a legitimate legal process. That would be the actual current habeas corpus problem.
No. The problem is you're vomiting up Obamabot bullshit that was debunked 7 years ago. Obama never wanted to end the gulag that is Gitmo, just move it to a supermax in Illinois.
Feel free to back away from the flagpole at any time.
There's the willful obtuseness again. As has been made clear over and over again by presidents of both parties, the United States government DGAF about domestic or international law. One of the countries to assist the US with it's extraordinary kidnapping program was Sweden, when it handed over two prisoners who were then promptly tortured. That was under Bush - but under Obama, Manning was tortured with solitary confinement for over a year and subjected to constant humiliation.
Alternatively, you could not be willfully obtuse. Assange detractors have spent years saying the U.S. hasn't even asked the U.K. to extradite him (some just in this Slashdot story). That it really is about rape allegations, and Assange really should stop cowering in an embassy and face the charges.
If Assange walks out of the embassy and surrenders to the British police, and they immediately hand him over to the United States and not Sweden, it shows the allegations were a mere pretext all along.
He left Hong Kong and entered Russia using a revoked passport - he didn't seek asylum in Russia because of the revoked passport, he entered Russia because that had already been agreed with the Russian authorities. Snowden had been talking with the Russians during his stay in Hong Kong.
And then he flew to visit his pole dancing girlfriend on Santa's sleigh? As long as you are making shit up, might as well go all out.
The Guardian -- not exactly an unbiased source -- claims that at trial Manning's defense team pretended that nobody got killed due to the leaks because no specific individual that was specifically named in the leaks was proven to have been killed specifically because of the leaks.
How else would you back up the claim that people died as the result of the leaks??
trying to data-dump anything she could get her hands on without a greater purpose in mind.
You mean she didn't have time nor the resources to sort the data. Either she'd still be doing that today, or would have leak bits and pieces, increasing the chances of the government finding out.
In any case, it's a sad commentary on the human condition that you are concerned with the propriety of the leaker but the crimes revealed by said leaker just aren't important enough to talk about. You know, stuff like torture, the Collateral Murder video, giving young boys to "allied" Afghans to be raped...
neoliberal AND neoconsrevative? Those are direct opposites.
Nope. There's a strong overlap between right wing corporatists who pretend to give a shit about people (neoliberals) and right wing imperialists (neoconservatives) that love to bomb other countries.
Usually I hate the line of reasoning that "look at all the people disagreeing with me, it just proves me right", but in this case it applies. Sometimes people are simply born feeling like they are a gender that doesn't match the parts they were born with, in the same way that some guys are born liking other guys, and some girls are born liking other girls. All of the respondents so far are ignorant of that fact - some willfully.
How about a Snowden analogy: say you are him and you are sitting on this alleged second stash of materials. Even nations friendly to the United States, such as Israel, would be more than happy to kidnap you & pull your fingernails out with a pair of pliers to get access to whatever it is you are holding onto.

Sitting in one position is worse than standing in one position. So yes, there's a difference in the type of inactivity.
So who wrote this....your evil twin?

That's secondary to how much money the parents have.

Poor kids who do everything right dont do better than rich kids who do everything wrong

Says the person playing games with medians rather than looking at numbers of people.

Which is why you spread your green energy generation across the grid - just like you do with coal or nuclear power!

For once, some accurate nitpicking on Slashdot! You should see if there's some kind of price awaiting for you.
I see you're too lazy to address any of the points or issues raised.
