Now they just claim it isn't caused by humans. Global warming deniers are the new creationists - moving goalposts every time they are proven wrong because they can't stand what science is telling them. They have zero credibility.
None of that is me. We have too many laws. The ones I hate the most are the ones that defend me from myself. Guns? Well, according to your constitution you have the right to bear arms to defend yourself from the government. Time to get them out. I'm not in favor of any kind of censorship.
Try again.
That's silly. You can point to more actions by Democratic executives and legislators that break the Constitution than by Republicans. (I'll admit that it's a close call.) Neither pays much attention to what the Constitution says, and the Supreme Court seems to only pay enough attention to figure out how to mangle the meaning.
I didn't come up with the demographics scottbomb did, I just twisted them sideways, through a knothole, into a joke. And you seem to be agreeing and disagreeing at the same time. As for Democrats and Republicans, I'd happily substitute "the government" there if you like.
My personal belief is that the Constitution, interpreted reasonably, will not work in the modern condext.
If these guys don't do the research, someone else will. Probably some government, and then they'll spread it once they have a secret cure for themselves.
I think you have confused the government with drug companies. Granted the difference is sometimes difficult to discern.
A drug company is a private corporation over which you have no control.
A government is a public corporation that you vote for, and is controlled by the drug companies. (& etc.)
I would be curious to hear the libertarian viewpoint on whether insider trading should be a crime?
A truly free market would solve it!
How?
I SAID A TRULY FREE MARKET WOULD SOLVE IT!
Yes, you did say that. In fact, you can sell parts of your company to anyone you want, barring monopolistic actions. Until you make a public offering. That would be the stock market. Ownership is now public, so you are responsible to the public and private trading most certainly should be fraud.
They're mostly very well paid IT people and engineers with a dash of everything else. There is an extraordinary difference in the productivity of the average skilled American worker and the average unskilled Chinese worker.
So you are saying that a good education is important?
I built a CnC machine (Computer controlled milling machine) It's a hoot. Building a fabricating shop is not that hard or overly expensive; if you have the skills to build and use one I highly recommend it.
Give it another few years for Obamacare to come all the way online, and there may well be.;)
(oblig. "I'll probably get modded down for this.")
Probably. The rest of the modern world all look after the basic medical needs of people, it's pretty much only the US that lets people die because they have no money.
OK, after reading TFA, I think it would be appropriate to fire the network admin who set up the router with that ID, not arrest him. A public recreation center does have to answer to public and therefore political opinion, and doing something like this is just plain stupid. That said, I do think that we may start to see more of this thing and having laws against it may be unavoidable (but hopefully not as severe as jail time).
I read TFA and I didn't see any mention of "who" it was that named the SSID. Why do you assume it was a public employee, or a network maintained by the community center?
Except Republicans, conservatives, Christians, people who respect the constitution. They're all free game.
You almost had a point there until you got around to trolling with the "people who respect the constitution" part.
And yeah, a lot of people hate a lot of the so-called values that many Republicans, conservatives and Christians have been pushing these days. But that coin has two ugly sides to it, so let's not pretend like there's anything unique going on here.
If you put Conservatives, Republicans and Christians in one group, and "people who respect the constitution" in another group, then I think you've covered everyone. (with very little overlap)
Your use of the word "our" is rather arrogant and pompous. Perhaps this is why your faith is such a target of comedians - the arrogant and pompous has long been a staple of the comedy diet.
Thank you, my work is done here.
So now the question is, was I modded troll because I wasn't being sarcastic, or because I was?
It's actually correct either way, I didn't make up the "festivus" SSID, just my reaction to it.

right
LOL! Yeah, they are as bad.
It's pretty sad that food clothing and shelter are even an issue in developed countries.
Now they just claim it isn't caused by humans. Global warming deniers are the new creationists - moving goalposts every time they are proven wrong because they can't stand what science is telling them. They have zero credibility.
But there are lots of them
There seem to be more global warming shills than ms shills. Funny thing is, it's a lot less subjective.

Folks...
You can't refer to the regular posters as "folks", post AC, whip out a scare tactic, and support censorship all in the same breath.
(Actually you CAN, but expect it to be pointed out.)

insert links to dumb nerd-fag discussions. get a fucking life, retards.
LOL! Does that post seem in any way ironic to you?
No? I thought not.

Awesome point of view, thanks. It is glaringly hypocritical when you put it that way.

I don't think it takes a doctorate in etiquette to realize that this is a pretty inappropriate joke.
Possibly. Probably even. But if people were jailed for inappropriate jokes, there would be no one left to post on slashdot.
Looks like I was trolled. My point still stands in general though.
LOL! It's not like I don't agree with you, but the comment was a little misdirected.

I'm so glad my router's SSID is 'serious business'. Because apparently that's what the internet is.
Mine are comova (5GHz) and lindo (2.4GHz) Because I was listening to Santana when I named them.
