I'm sorry. I don't actually believe there is a thing called "cultural Marxism". That's just another meaningless descriptor brought to you by the sick twisted minds that insist climatologists are communists and a functional useful government is impossible and no one of wealth owes the civilization in a damned thing.
So let me get this straight. The way to deal with political correctness is more political correctness?
That's what always amazed me about the Huckleberry Finn bans. You had everyone from the KKK to Civil Rights types demanding its removal from school libraries. About the only thing you could say was that the White Supremacists got the point.
I wasn't aware that Congress persecuting people for exercising long established liberties was the right thing to do.McCarthy was hounding screenwriters and folk singers, and even by the standards of the Red scare 1950s McCarthy's actions were deemed a contemptible violation of the 1st Amendment.
That's the funny thing. I haven't read very many comments from South Africans, or Africans in general, demonstrating their anger. The majority of the "outrage" seems to be coming from Europeans and North Americans.
I hesitate to call what has happened "entertainment". It was more of a good old' fashioned mob, but "on a computer". People get a rush out of being outraged and being part of a communal attack on an errant individual or group. They can wip themselves up into a vast moral outrage, feel very superior to the person in question (even if the likelihood is fairly high that they've said the same or worse) and eak out some vicarious revenge that they can use to pump up their ego.

What a bizarre statement. Of course it's programming. It may not be very elegant programming, but then again, the bulk of C code I've seen in my years in the business isn't terribly elegant either.
Yup. My old iPhone 4, which was running perfectly fine with iOS 6 just crawls now. Safari is almost unusable. Other than email, about the most Internet I centric thing I use it for now is tethering to my Nexus 7. When my iPhone finally kicks it, I'm going with an Android phone, probably a Nexus 5. Then I don't need the evil that is called iTunes to copy to the phone, can access the file system and don't have to deal with Apple's ludicrous restrictions.
Chin up, Mr. Snowden. The government of the US may believe you're a traitor, but the time will come when you're seen as one of the heroes and guardians of liberty.
My understanding is that the chief difference here is how publicly Jang Song Thaek was purged. He was a member (by marriage) of the Kim family itself, and the Kims have always been somewhat cautious on state media services not to impugn any of the Kims, because it risks undermining the notion that they are the rightful rulers of North Korea. Under normal circumstances it seems more likely that he would disappear; and apparently he has been sent packing a couple of times before, only to return.
My reading of what the analysts think is that Jang Song Thaek either got to uppity (he seems to have been Kim Jong Un's mentor during the early days of his reign), or possibly was attempting some sort coup or at least end run around Kim Jong Un, and was likely not alone. Other officials have apparently disappeared as well, and this is as clear a message to any of Jang Song Thaek's as-yet undiscovered sympathizers or allies that Kim Jong Un is in charge, has the loyalty of the military, and no one, not even those in the DPRK's inner ruling circle, is immune.

I respect Bye a great deal, but I wouldn't cross the room to listen to Ham.
You're hissy fits are getting annoying.

And therein lies the problem. It is both startlingly intrusive and pathetically useless.

The law is an ass.
Sounds to me like a violation of EU common market treaties.

You do understand academia's purpose, right?
As a company that has government contracts forbidding us from storing data outside of canada, this library is very good news.
The issue has long been that the President, as Commander in Chief, can create conditions that make Congress's declatory powers moot.

Considering how locked down both systems are, I'd say they care very much what you use it for.
The problem is that the hell our fascist friend is creating is right here on earth.
You'd be pretty fucking sorry if the authorities hadn't put a stop to the Mooninite invasion, pal.

Relax. This is a dictatorship. They can keep convicting of crimes and adding more death sentences until the Sun burns out.
Even cheaper and faster, you don't have to wait for guilt to be obvious... or true.
There are a lot of diseased minds among Tea Party and Libertarian types.
Yes, my heart goes out for Kim Jong Un, truly a victim of circumstance...
