    Fighting back means mass production of carbon sequestration devices yet to be invented or large scale environmental manipulation. Horseshit like carbon credits is the climate change equivalent of pissing in the wind.

    They never would have anticipated the current flow of cross border traffic that might make it an issue. Not to mention the sheer storage capacity and communication ability that modern computing devices give us.

    True, he claimed he created the internet. But unless you think middle managers who pitch the value of a project to higher ups without being involved in the actual project create the thing, he didn't create jack shit.

    Seriously, I can't help but notice they emphasize monetary value over unit throughput. Not to mention "Forza continued its run as the best-selling racing franchise of this console generation." means jack shit when GT Sport doesn't release until later this year.

    Bingo. Also, while it may reduce participation, it increases transparency as it forces those doing the requesting to be much more transparent about their location and who they are. Not to mention if you're too lazy to run down to Kinko's to send off a FOIA request you should fuck right off.

    If the leftist babies really want to go to war over this they would get their asses handed to them. There are between 400 and 600 million civilian owned weapons in the US, primarily owned by red staters, with the majority of the military coming from the same stock.

    The only person in the running I wouldn't have supported against Hillary was Jeb. Mainly because the continued threat of political dynasties would have been even worse had he been in play. That said I voted against Trump in the primaries. However, even 8 years of ultra-sterotype Trump is highly unlikely to be as damaging long term to the American political process as 8 years of Hillary, so Trump was for whom the lever was pulled.

    In fact you may not realize it, but your need to express your hatred of her lends her stature.

    Dislike of a person and derisive comments about them do not hatred make, a fact which hey! seems to fail to grasp.

    Perhaps you should take your own advice. They investigated. The one person who was remotely credible and repeatedly harassed her they reported to the appropriate authorities. She's throwing a bitch fit because they didn't find anyone they were willing to publicly crucify to appease her ego.

    Firstly, nothing in the article indicates that death threats were made, secondly during those 6 months how many death threats online do you think were made in France? I'm gonna guess somewhere northward of 50 million. Which makes any individual death threat completely and utterly useless as an indicator of actual danger.

    If you think that my post rises anywhere near the level of hatred you perhaps need to take a remedial English class. Dislike certainly, derision definitely, and I sure as fuck despise the woman's actions. Hatred however is a level of emotional investment I reserve for the truly evil or personal, and she is neither.

    Attracting death threats on the internet merely shows that you are expressing an opinion others dislike and are of a high enough profile or 'lucky' enough to attract them. Given the internet history of the person in question that is decidedly the former situation.

    Death threats on the internet are about as credible as Baghdad Bob was during the invasion of Iraq. The FBI looked into them, and determined their credibility was at said level, reported the one person who repeatedly harassed her and presumably handed over their evidence of such to the appropriate authorities, and then dropped the issue because they did their jobs. But for our special snowflake this isn't good enough. She needs that extra special law enforcement appeasement. It's certainly not the FBI's problem that Massachusetts declined to prosecute.
