  1. Yes you do, because before long they have a Facebook page / Twitter rant dedicated to getting rid of you and every other brainless twit has jumped on board.

  2. As I warned about previously on Books With "Questionable Content" Being Deleted From ebookstores In Sweeping Ban · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is what digital books are going to get you , censorship, on the fly redactions and corrections to appeal to current political climates, and a simple refusal to sell anything that in anyway displeases the power elite.

  3. Will her mouth never close? on Hillary Clinton: "We Need To Talk Sensibly About Spying" · · Score: 1

    By starting off with "sensible adult conversation" that frumpy power hag has both ridiculed and marginalized every other conversation.
    Really, the attitude of that corrupt female is arrogance defined, and for the record "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands".

    I don't see the word democracy in there any where.

    About as good an idea as a watch.

  10. Re:Hand stencils? on Most Cave Paintings Were Painted By Women, Says Penn State Researcher · · Score: 1

    Except if they were hanging around long enough to develop their painting skills they most likely had a system of gathering food that was easy (easier) and consistent, or they would have moved on.
    Perhaps they had more fish in their diet, an easier animal to harvest.

    There is dispute on this idea of early civilization being matriarchal, you can look at the links I posted or Google it, as always I will ask the next question "Where are the matriarchal societies today?" No where, because it won't work with modern human cultures.

    Why do I feel that way?

      If matriarchy had worked they would be the dominant form, so just like evolution for animals the same occurs in human constructs, what works best survives.

    Besides even if women were in charge they would still need men to enforce their will, so why bother with a "middle man"?

  12. Re:Hand stencils? on Most Cave Paintings Were Painted By Women, Says Penn State Researcher · · Score: 2

    Then I would ask you why you think these women had the time to sit around doing cave drawings?

    Men hunted period, that involved little time (if hunting was easy), women raise children, prepare clothing, food, and various other tasks.
    All in all I would say the women were far busier than the men, take a look at any Indian tribe, same thing.

    I would also expect that cave paintings were taken seriously, and therefore were regulated to chieftains and medicine men.

    "Pretty much anywhere that had a matriarchal society the women were the historians"

    LOL that's like saying just about anywhere there are clouds there is water vapour in the air.
    No shit Sherlock... if it was a Matriarchal society that it stands to reason the women were doing the documentation.

    But just for laughs why don't you list a couple of the more prominent matriarchal societies for me, you know since I'm so ignorant.

  14. Re:NSA exists for 3 main reasons on What the Surveillance State Does With Your Private Data · · Score: 1

    So you worked for them.

    Way back when there was an org called the OSI, and some earlier incarnations, the going thread was "All you to topple a government is 3% of the people".

    What you posted is *precisely* what the NSA does, if anyone doubts this just Google "The Vengeful Librarians".

  15. One other thought on What the Surveillance State Does With Your Private Data · · Score: 1

    If the entire security apparatus is built around you conducting your business, whether it be terrorism or shopping at Amazon, via the Internet then the obvious solution is "Don't use the Internet".

    Then what do they have? All the information that has been public for decades.

  16. Re:What interested me on Most Cave Paintings Were Painted By Women, Says Penn State Researcher · · Score: 1

    It was stronger only because it was practical to have it done that way, split the duties.
    In a modern society you're free from the day to day task of living, like raising grains, cattle, butchering, hunting, etc, so a woman can wave a credit card just as well as a man.

  17. Re:still... on Most Cave Paintings Were Painted By Women, Says Penn State Researcher · · Score: 1

    More than likely it's the women in your family that do that and not the men, because the men were raised not to do that sort of thing.

  18. Hand stencils? on Most Cave Paintings Were Painted By Women, Says Penn State Researcher · · Score: 1

    Yeah those took a lot of talent (sarcasm) did it occur to the "scientist" that the paintings were done by men and the hand stencils are how many women they owned?

    I seriously doubt that women were the painters, because --->>*ALMOST*--- no where else in history do you see a society where in the majority of art and history keeping is done by women.

  19. Laugh on Why Julian Assange Should Embrace 'The Fifth Estate' · · Score: 1

    Producer (one of them)
    Steve Golin (born March 6, 1955)[1] is the founder and CEO of Anonymous Content LLP, a multimedia development, production and talent management company and co-founder and former CEO of Propaganda Films.[2]

    "producing spots and campaigns for Nike, Intel, Citibank, United Airlines, Ford, Audi, Coca-Cola, Pepsi"

    Well versed in propaganda, or for the slow people "A really good liar"

    Bill Condon ( winner of the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Director for his work on The Twilight Saga) is a shlock artist well versed in writing mindless garbage, also a big fan of propaganda (that benefits him of course).

    All in all the reason Assange isn't happy about the film is it's a hit piece, a dilution of a critical issue.
    Making a movie is the first step to marginalizing Assange and wikileaks into meaningless.
    Hollywood knows this, look at how well they marginalized the American public and destroyed this country.

    The comparison to the Facebook movie is a naive and simplistic view that is entirely incorrect.
    Everyone making that film knew it would appeal to the young set.

  20. The monetization of literally *everything* continues, who in their right mind (besides the mentally ill financial participants) be interested in such a thing?

    An usable screen size for anyone over 40, a keyboard usable by anyone but a small handed former female Foxxcon employee (slave?), storage of any real kind, because *YOU* use the *Cloud* and the cloud is the continuation of turning the computer into a fixed media device... or for the slow minded out there, a TV.

  23. Really? on Are Shuttered Gov't Sites Actually Saving Money? · · Score: 0

    There is someone out there ignorant enough to believe the entire shut down is *not* a political ploy?

    It's Obama saying "Oh you want a shut down" and then focusing on the very things that piss the most people off, it has absolutely nothing to do with running the country or common sense.

    It's petty, it's vengeance, and I've had enough... how about you?
