  1. Membership in the KKK is not equivalent to being generally supportive of white supremacy.

    So one can visualize properly membership in the KKK is estimated at 5-8 thousand.

  2. Having watched the news these last two weeks, you'd be better off keeping you eye out for the white socialist nut jobs instead.

  3. Why is it so hard to understand that just because a religion or an interpretation of it in theory requires a violent act doesn't mean all followers actually follow through?

    Straw, AC, you ended your screed with straw. Everyone knows full well not all Muslims are violent. But everyone, you included, knows that a far larger percentage are willing to instigate violence against other religions.

  4. ... isn't any more of a murder-drone than your average American.

    That is axiomatically untrue, both in percentage and raw numbers.

  5. Bullshit. I've seen you post the most ned neck, hateful, bigoted crap all over SlashDot. You can't even keep the target of your bigotry and hatred stable, shifting from blacks to whites to Muslims, etc. Not even down a single thread of conversation can you keep your views stable. Hell, sometimes you even argue against yourself and now that I think of it, I've seen you post claiming to be Christian, Jewish, even atheist. So no, AC, I don't believe you're Muslim.

  6. If you're gonna claim some sort of authority over the topic at hand at least post with your moniker and not AC. I'll lend a modicum of credence to an AC's personal opinion but not a dram to a presumed position of authority.

  7. Yeah, it is. Oxford:
    1) dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery:
    2) the process by which something, typically a word or expression, is changed from its original use or meaning to one that is regarded as erroneous or debased.
    Seems that both definitions fit. Dishonest conduct to corrupt the communications and retentions regulations.

    Essentially, what you're saying is that pointing out that someone who is Jewish is involved with something or holds a position under contention is wrong? Bullshit.

    Let's Play Pedantry!!! There is no "pale white" or "dark black". And not even where you live do humans range on the neutral scale. As for "metaphorically"? That one you simply missed as a metaphor is by definition (Oxford) "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable".

    They last damn person on earth I want teaching programming is a K-12 teacher. Do you seriously want programming to fall under the umbrella of the same people who have embraced fuzzy math and other "new" educational concepts? Do you want programming degrading in quality at the accelerated rate that reading, writing, art, math, and everything else taught in school has been?

  11. Using your logic only; explain how *I* became drawn to programming at a time when there were *NO* courses for such anywhere but in college and votech, the general public was almost completely ignorant of them, you would have to purchase a business computer because home computers, tablets and smartphones didn't exist.

    I don't believe it was the liberal media who outed Sean King. The fact that he's still quoted a lot by liberals kinda belies that bolded text.

    Oh please. Falling for fake news is no more restricted to the uneducated than falling for Nigerian schemes.

    You just described the fanatics on both sides. 'Deniers should be tried.' Remember that one?

  15. Which apparently you know about. Why no link?

  16. Not when the topic is illegal immigration.

  17. And yet, the reasoning portion of your post seems to be missing, replaced by a personal opinion asserted as if fact from authority, flavored with a hint of ad hominem.

    "with and without paper trail" is supposed to mean

    Different counties, different methods.

  19. Optical scanners count the hand-filled squares on paper faster and more accurately and still leave the paper to recount if necessary. So basically, your second paragraph is a non-issue for this.

  20. And you think the KKK - with a membership nation wide of at best 8K - is important in any way why? There are more purple haired lesbians than KKK members. "KKK-types" Says a lot.

  21. Introspection... good for all. You seem to equate disagreement with "drama". If every time you talk politics with your parents drama erupts, perhaps you're a contributing factor.

  22. This election was more about the educated vs the blue collar workforce.

    Bollocks. Along that track it was the educated who presume that means they're smarter than everyone else vs that everyone else. You argument fails immediately due to the educated people who voted for Trump.

    It was obviously humorous enough for me that I chuckled. Maybe put the pin in the ass of the harpies screeching, but it was humor. You can make fun of pompous, overbearing people, even if they are ostensibly on your side.

    No, it's the observational view. Cattle are not raised through their first couple of years on grain in a large building. I live surrounded by cattle farmers and their cattle spend the bulk of their time standing out in the pasture chewing grass and mustard and drinking from a standing pool with the occasional stroll to the trough for some of the dietary supplementals. All anyone has to do to see this is get in their car and drive the Midwest. You're being disingenuous, treating the last 4-6 months of their lives in a feed lot as if it describes their entire life 2-3 year life.

    Bacon farts - pfffft! Nothing. I raise you one vegan broccoli fart. The glow of self-righteousness hangs in the air along with it.
