"Science" is not the high ideal people here tend to believe it is, the bulk of published stuff is garbage, scientists lie all the time, and most so-called "research" is never verified much less challenged.
Stop worshiping and start using your ability to think critically for a change.
Law enforcement wastes massive amounts of money on their own internal graft and corruption, and in the USA they waste massive amounts of money and resources prosecuting poor people disproportionately, because in the USA the value of the poor is measured by law enforcement and public policy by how much money can be secured by imprisoning the poor.
Anything to distract from the sheer incompetency and ineffectiveness of law enforcement, and to sustain the illusion that cops really give a shit about you.
Keep giving law enforcement a back door, and you better get used to bending over.
To attack people they disagree with, and do it in a dishonest and cowardly manner.
Yes, the internet is like a HS popularity contest. It's ugly, it's deceitful, it's false, and you're a fool for valuing it at all.
Social media exists primarily to make people who are essentially worthless do-nothing pieces of shit feel good about being worthless do-nothing pieces of shit.
Lowest common denominator always wins. Look at the recent GOP "debate" if you doubt it.
This was a commercial venture being held in a public park featuring a known criminal who has fled prosecution in the jurisdiction in question.
Local jurisdictions should and do have the authority to prevent commercial criminal enterprises from operating within their boarders. Yeah, it's a fundraiser for the gang he's involved in, arguing it's some sort of legitimate not for profit venture is bullshit, so don't even try arguing that.
Frankly, the event organizers should be fined/jailed. This incident is not about freedom of speech, it's about the crime wave in a particular community that nobody but the police end up even attempting to address.
"It's a good argument for ensuring you don't have half-assed vaccines, which is a legitimate concern."
At one point the FDA was ready to approve an HIV vaccine if clinical trials proved it to be just 30% effective. There was no outcry from the medical or scientific community at the time. The medical and scientific communities did not give a fuck about the consequences, and STILL do not.
People are right to be extremely concerned about the state of vaccine science and research, and the role industry is playing to corrupt the regulatory agencies that are responsible with protecting the public health.
I'm always disappointed when I read remarks about vaccine science from people who are clearly just repeating shit that they've made zero effort to understand.
In the USA we have corporations that do not give a shit what potential long term harm they do, yet give them the power and authority over us and public policy to push whatever product they want to.
If you are pro every vaccine, you are an idiot. No reasonable, intelligent competent medical person will tell you that every vaccine is necessary or a good idea.
You're being dumbed-down int he false name of "science".
I've seen this BS repeated over and over and over again, it's simply remarkable to me how stubborn people are to cling to a childish paranoia.
The argument that jet fuel can not burn hot enough to melt the steel is flawed. Because the steel didn't NEED to melt; it just needed to become malleable enough for it and the connecting structure around it to fail. What the crazies always ignore is the fact that those load-bearing steel beams WERE UNDER LOAD.
Also, arguing that jet fuel burning can only reach just so high a temperature, that's equally bullshit. I can make kerosene, almost anything, burn much hotter than it's combustion temperature just by blowing a little bit of air on it. In this case, a very light breeze at that height can suffice to bring the burning temperature up a few hundred degrees. Not rocket science. In metallurgy they've been doing this for literally centuries now.
Nobody cut corners; the building was a technological marvel, and is still considered remarkable.
It's unrealistic and betrays a lack of understanding of basic physics and economics to expect any commercial or residential structure to be entirely impervious to a jet filled with fuel traveling at a high speed.
Yeah, I don't believe that, and the vids I've seen do not support that statement.
What I do see very day are distracted drivers that should be permanently banned from driving because they are a menace to everyone on the road.
Far, far too many drivers in the USA seem to feel they have some sort of right to do whatever they want to on public roads, as if they were the only ones on them. For those people, I would like to see them forced out of the drivers seat entirely and permanently.
There's no excuse for rear-ending somebody, it always means you were following too damn close. The USA has a horrible culture of rampant recklessness when it comes to our public roads. I'd really like to see that come to an end. Freedom shouldn't mean you're free to destroy other people's lives, distracted drivers need to be held accountable.
So much so that if it's not addressed properly, I will be replacing ALL my client's OS's with non-MS products.
I'm certain I can figure out a way to manually prevent this through the registry, but the fact that MS would do this is what I would consider the thin red line that they shouldn't have crossed.
choose what they want to do; to force us all to have to turn to the government for every option, and to only have government approved options.
I see zero innovation from taking this stand, and I do not for a moment believe her goal is to protect the public.
She wants more of us registered in insecure government databases, that when they get hacked they will never take any responsibility for. They want to be able to find new innovative ways to tax us all, and give us nothing in return but propaganda an platitudes.
Hillary isn't just for big government and big, old, outdated corporations. Oh wait. Yeah, that's exactly what she's for.
The United States is about choosing one of two fake "choices", and it's tired, and it's defenders are idiots.
To a sprawling, massive country, like the USA is what would be known as fallacious.
But let's play. Take the figures for Estonia; the total miles of tracks, total population, total number of cars and the total cost for building it - scale it all to the physical size and population of the USA.
Then it becomes markedly clear why public transit in the USA is in general incomparable to comparatively physically tiny nations and entirely unworkable.
Slashdot Mirror
Most of the crap published is a waste of space and funds.
After all, the USA excels in keeping people entwined in the criminal justice system, that's arguably the one thing we do best.
admitting the obvious.
"Science" is not the high ideal people here tend to believe it is, the bulk of published stuff is garbage, scientists lie all the time, and most so-called "research" is never verified much less challenged.
Stop worshiping and start using your ability to think critically for a change.
The fact that you got upvoted for that bogus 21 trillion thing just shows how low slashdot has fallen.
It also is an indication why nobody should ever pay any attention to anything you have to say again. Because you're a deceptive, lying piece of shit.
THIS. Americans believe that because we have obscenely expensive medical care, it's the best in the world. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
When is the medical community going to grow some balls and start having a little integrity ?
Because about half of all homicides go unsolved.

This one is just too stupid for words.
But ya' ARE an idiot, Blanch, ya' ARE.
If a drone comes into my yard, I will shoot it.
Not out of fear, out of annoyance. I''m not afraid of it, I'm annoyed some asshat believes he has a right to fly his stupid toy into my yard.
The broad brush idiots like you paint everyone that owns firearms with just makes you look like the fuckheads you are.
And any idiot with money can buy one.
Honestly, if your drone is in my yard I am defiantly going to make a pinata of it at the first opportunity. You will not be getting it back.
Fuck you, you fucking traitorous piece of shit.

It always sucked, and I'm always happy when Google fails. Fuck Google and fuck Facebook.

I mean, you can't fly it over my home without my permission - unless you pay the government 600 bucks.
This is consistent with what friends in NZ tell me about how the government there operates.
Half a trillion, minimum.

oddly justified today...
