The intent of Nazis was to deprive them of their ability to influence society, then of citizenship, then of property, then to be deported, then... "oh, hell, why are we going through all this hassle? We know how we want jews, so let's go right to the end of it: the final solution!"
One thing that has always bothered me about that whole mess: Why bother with Zyklon B at all?
Why not just have a trap door open up that tosses them directly into the incinerator while they were alive? I would guess psychology...
It still utterly blows me away to this day that people did this to other people and that people now are not afraid of setting up similar controls because they think something like the Holocaust could never happen again. It can. It shouldn't. Think people. Think.
And the most important thing : the whole state of Israel has been taken by force in 1948 !
Why would you defend such a country ?
All countries were made through force. Do you think the Russians lived in Russia since the dawn of time? Do you think the Chinese lived in China since the dawn of time? The only thing unique about Israel is that it was carved out by a third party for them.
Personally, I would nuke the whole area for all of them being jackasses. The Israeli leadership for allowing settling land and bulldozing houses and the Palestinian leadership for never being amenable to any rational agreement and being committed to keeping the Palestinians miserable.
I would be for taking all of the leaders from both sides and publicly executing them but the rot and corruption is too deep. Start with a clean slate and nuke it all. Of course, announce beforehand so reasonable people can leave the area forever.
Just once I wish we'd wage a war on Cancer or Drunk Driving, ya know?
Erm, there has been a war on Drunk Driving... or have you not been paying attention for the last 20+ years? More lives have been destroyed by this war than have been saved, but whatever. Being practical is never the right answer.
I want Visas available for all the jobs we need doing. Right now we can't get american's to pick food and until we have robots doing it we need people to do it. We should have a visa just for this purpose and have people get it legally. They should come here legally, work here legally and NOT be exploited by farmers, factories etc.
You clearly do not understand the issue here. The reason that illegal immigrants can find work is because they work without the protections afforded to the American worker. This makes the immigrants cheaper to hire. This means the farmers and factories are in fact exploiting the immigrants. Without the economic incentive, there would be fewer illegal immigrants.
To word it in another manner, it is the ability to exploit the illegal immigrant that makes the illegal immigrant valuable. Americans would do the work but the farmers and factories do not want the baggage that comes with American workers (Social Security, payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, potential lawsuits, etc). Understand?
He needs to fly to Sweeden and take care of his personal business, you know: "man up".
The chances of him being extradited to the U.S. are slim to none at this point.
I care not even the slightest about this character but even I wouldn't be turning myself over to Sweden. I have absolutely zero doubt he will end up in Guantanamo or worse either before he arrives in Sweden or afterwards with an apology by some official saying how they regret that the mistake made in paperwork allowed a European to hop onto an American plane accidentally and they take full responsibility for the error (which means nothing in this day and age). Of course, the deeply heartfelt apology will be of little use to the person being tortured, possibly to death.
When they want you, they WILL get you. Hell, they were considering storming the fucking embassy for him against all procedures and protocols. Oy.
Gravity is the result of space being curved in relation to time. Space and time are a result of energy being "tied in knots" to create matter. A black hole is literally the edge of the universe. There is no spacetime without matter. There is no matter without bound energy. Hence, the infinite point of energy for the big bang is the only descriptive term for a universe of pure energy since there is no matter to create space time.
The big bang was a "cooling" of the energy, which solidified into matter. As matter was "created", spacetime was created and expanded as a result thereof. The rest is pretty clear at this point although the implications are not.
My takeaway from the blurb about ignorance is that they, if education is seen as a roadmap, want to show the edges of the map so you do not lose the forest for the trees. But meh, I am likely wrong.
A stable environment is the best basis to bring up children - that's as clear cut a conclusion of social science as I know of.
While I am not certain the science is entirely settled on this, from my own experiences, I tend to agree.
Marriage should provide a bulwark in achieving that stability.
Should? Really? Is that the best you can do? Should? I have anecdotal evidence that your thesis is wrong. Does an anecdote prove a thesis? No, but it can disprove one.
My best friend refuses to get married. He now has children who are close to 18 and they have had an extremely stable home so far. Marriage not required; however there is intense pressure for him to marry her. Both families and all of society essentially conspire to force them to marry. In fact, there are laws which say they are legally married now despite him not wanting to get married.
That you seem unwilling to accept the value of stability or the value of marriage towards that stability, I find perverse.
I am unsure how you read that I am against stability or "the children" but go ahead and keep crying that cry. For the children indeed.
That your perception of human nature is so pessimistic, I just find sad.
I prefer to perceive reality, not wishful thinking based on puritanical models of behavior. That you find reality sad is none of my concern. I will give you this advice though: Yourself, and many others in this story have deeply ingrained puritanical leanings. These are biasing your views of what you see going on around you. Beware. Witch hunts are not that far away.
Look at the posts here: Most of them are screaming for blood. That all of the victims here deserved it because they were in turn victimizing someone else by cheating. Some have even called for all of this data to be examined by society.
Be careful what you wish for, you may get it. Be careful of your biases, they will lead you to very dark places.
Yes. Society should control everyone's sexual behavior. No freedom. No self responsibility...
Fuck that, everyone's innermost personal thoughts should be exposed to society, not just their sexual behavior. Society will bring righteous justice upon all sinners, not just adulterers.
There are a lot of other sites out there that don't specifically target cheating that she could have used instead.
Not if she wanted to be honest. The other sites are for singles looking for dates and potentially marriage. She was already married so she had to go to the only site that fit her circumstances. It is not that SHE was looking for a married man, it was that she looking for a man looking for a MARRIED woman.
Oddly, the CAPTCHA is slotting. How appropriate.;)
If you aren't questioning you aren't sciencing - it's called religion.
I used to do a lot of sciencing but then my aunt got a terminal disease that was blamed on science.
I ended up gathering a lot of data and evaluated it from several different viewpoints, including some that were hostile to my own. I ended up making an unbiased choice to start religioning.
Ultimately, when sciencing, you have to think for yourself... and I am not the brightest bulb in the drawer. I was frequently wrong and people harassed me and teased me endlessly. I was wrong a lot.
I figure that the only thing sciencing did for me was to allow me to know when I was wrong. What use is that? Religioning is so much better.
When I am religioning, I have lots of people around me who say they love me and will help me. I am never wrong so I never get teased any more. Life is wonderful other than some weird unexplainable stuff happens sometimes. At least God forgives me for causing my aunt to suffer horribly and die.
Odd. I used minicom to establish the modem connection and then pppd (before pppd could dial) to give me tcp/ip connectivity and I had zero issues. Perhaps your phone lines were unreliable? I was using Slackware during that time so the problem was not with Slackware.
We aren't because there is a massive negative feedback system that counter-acts the effect of water vapor as a greenhouse gas almost entirely. That system is called "rain".
I live in a desert. What is this thing that you call "rain"?;)
A better known and safer alternative is resveratrol. You can try taking supplements which may or may not work, or just drink the red wine.
Resveratrol is an exceptional PDE-4 inhibitor. One supplement that has been thoroughly tested and found effective is Longevinex.
The best alternative that I have found is the wonder drug called fuckitol. It is a stress reduction serum that dramatically lowers the levels of cortisol in your body.
What would be different from auto updating vs. everyone manually updating? You would most likely get the exact same outcome. Vast majority will go smooth but some would fail.
The difference would be that the failure would occur when the user expected it instead of during the superbowl or in the middle of game or other inconvenient time.
I am sure there are other differences, but this one difference is a world of difference.
I used to work two jobs to make ends meet. 16 hours a day (lol, more like 18 once everything was done) working as a manager at a security guard agency 4 days a week and then for the other 3 days each week, I worked 12 hours a day assembling powermacs for Apple. I averaged 116 hours a week for 2 years.
Many single moms have it just as bad or worse since kids do not allow time off. You clearly have no idea what life is like near minimum wage. If you did, you would know that a non-neglible percentage of the workforce does actually work 100+ hours a week.
But I am not attacking you. I am merely enlightening you. Have an awesome day.:)
Look, I respect your dedication to non-violence and your utter trust in the authorities who do carry guns; however, you need to move to a country that has the environment that you want. The USA is NOT it. Gun ownership is embedded in the Constitution. You will not get rid of it and by trying, you are giving a big "fuck you" to all of those who do love the ideals USA were founded upon. So really, go move to another country that has the ideals that you prefer embedded in their constitution or whatever bedrock piece of paper that country is founded upon.
First, the asteroid belt. By the time we exhaust even a tenth of that, our starships will be hanging out in nebulas sucking up dust to create whatever we want using fission/fusion to create the atoms we need to assemble the molecules that we want. Living on planets is sooo twenty first century.
Further, these conspiracy folks completely ignore all the other combustible material inside the buildings which WERE hot enough to warp the beams and pull them laterally from the sides of the building (see this sheet, numbers 8 and 9 for a further explanation) which then precipitated the pancake effect we all witnessed.
Watch the video of the collapses again. They fell from the bottom, not from where they were damaged and then "pancaked" the rest. I have no idea what really happened but your version is clearly not correct.
I saw them drop on live TV and watched the video several times thereafter. Those buildings dropped from the bottom. Why? I have no idea. My best guess is they were purposefully dropped to prevent killing thousands of more people by having them fall sideways. Is that the truth? I have no idea. If it were the truth, would it be lied about? Surely. If the buildings were dropped purposefully then there would be questions about 3 thousand murders.
I do not know what really happened but anyone can see they fell from the bottom.
Defensive and backtracking? WTF dude? Are you for real? What is with the attacks? Honestly, I am beginning to wonder if I have ran across a shill for Microsoft.
I have constantly used multiple operating systems after I was forced to give up my Commodore Amiga. There have been extended periods where my primary operating system was Linux, OpenBSD, OS X,or Windows.
Extended use of Slackware back in the late 90s because it was stable and had true 32 bit multi-tasking. It also reminded me of the SunOS systems that my friend let me use from his university.
Extended use of Linux From Scratch in the early 2000s because Slackware was not perfect. I alternated it with OpenBSD because I was working with a bunch of pen testers who preferred OpenBSD. Linux From Scratch was the most satisfying, customized, and efficient system I have ever used.
Mid 2000s I found out about Gentoo. Almost as good as Linux From Scratch but far more maintainable. IIRC, it was around 2008 this distro took a severe nosedive.
From 2008ish to early 2015, I mostly used Windows only. I tried Ubuntu once but my mouse and keyboard kept locking up. It was apparently some bug that had been around for years.
A few years ago, people started talking about Linux Mint so I decided to try it out. I was not terribly impressed so Windows stayed my main operating system.
I bought a laptop two years ago. It had Windows 8 on it. It got a virus through the preinstalled flash player before I could even finish patching it. Less than 4 hours after buying it, I nuked it and threw Arch Linux on it. Arch is still on that laptop right now.
I tried Linux Mint again earlier this year since I wanted to try the whole Steam on Linux thing. I wanted to try Cinnamon since KDE always has some odd bugs. Nothing show stopping but always something annoying. The performance of Cinnamon was not acceptable when playing games so it sat on an alternate partition for a few months, occasionally being booted up.
Then, about a month or so ago, they released Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela. They had made some significant performance improvements in Cinnamon and my games worked fine. I was excited and kept booting into Linux Mint. I especially liked Cinnamon because of the High-DPI setting. I have a 4k monitor and Windows 7 just could not be adjusted to look good.
Cue the release of Windows 10. Looks good on a 4k monitor, just like Cinnamon already did, but then I can't shake the feeling that none of my files or activities are private.
So here I sit in Linux Mint 17.2 having a conversation with someone who appears to be quite hostile. The only "bug" that I am experiencing is that whenever I place the menu bar at the top, I get weird behavior. The only thing I lack that I want is to put the menu bar on the side. The left side. My GTX 980 card works fine. The only newer card is a GTX 980ti.
I am having no issues or regrets moving entirely to Linux at this point. Nothing I have said is contradictory or backtracking. The only "positive" thing I am missing out on is the ability to play Grand Theft Auto V. Compared to getting my privacy back, that is an extremely small price to pay.
If you want a technical analysis, go to some benchmarking site. I shared what Windows 10 felt like from my perspective. It felt creepy. The creepiness overshadowed every other aspect of using the system; therefore, I have no opinion on live tiles or did not mention how it was impossible to tell where one window ended and another began or which controls belonged to which window because there are no borders, just outlines.

I did the math, and it was 40 minutes, not 40 seconds.
It is bad when dramatic hyperbole is only one order of magnitude (seconds to minutes) away from reality. *sigh*
Relax. Both NoScript users will be able to enjoy their favorite plugin for years to come.

Your claim that it is 'puritan' to challenge promise breakers is pure labelling to avoid the issue.
When a majority create social rules that force certain behaviors, do not be surprised when some people pay lip service to your behavioral demands.
But go ahead and keep trying (out of some puritanical need) to force promises out of people. Let me know how that works out for you.
Adultery should be exposed
Yes. Society should control everyone's sexual behavior. No freedom. No self responsibility...

sorry: no one is working 100 hours a week.
You have clearly lived a very sheltered life.
