See this is why it is not worth the time to present evidence to idiots like yourself.. because you wouldn't know what to do with said evidence if it were dropped in your lap due to your scorching case of confirmation bias and Dunning Kruger effect.
Again no evidence, just posturing and figure skating to hide the fact that you have no fucking clue if such "evidence" actually exists or not, you just gobbled up the dogma and perpetuate the cycle of blissful obedience.
People like you think that you are like Copernicus, bravely facing the hordes of idiots, but really in that story you're more like the Church who couldn't tolerate people arguing with the dogma and sent the heretic to jail..
There's nothing to learn in that article. It's just one more global warming zealot who goes on a rant about people who disagree with his dogma, and he even does the usual: put them in the same basket as holocaust deniers.
Oh wait: were you trying to provide an example of unmitigated bullshit? Because if that's the case, good one!
Sorry, I can't make sense of your comment as a whole, it feels like the ramblings of an angry elderly person, but on the France vs USA I agree that there has been more terrorism in France. Maybe it's because France used to exploit people in various colonies, I don't know, but if they were to follow the examples of Israel or the USA they would have less incidents. You can't talk or social-work terrorism out of a country, you have to prevent it from entering and relentlessly chase it down when it finds a way in.
You might find yourself lacking opportunities to breed with anybody that has an IQ above room temperature, but such it the price of being vocally moronic.
Given the level of discussion that is your contribution to this thread, I'll take your alleged evidence (which is, as usual, not presented but merely stipulated) with a bag of salt.
Why don't you publicly question the theory of evolution or global warming then? You'll either be labeled a creationist or be told that there's "overwhelming evidence", end of discussion. The whole "question everything" thing only applies to whatever is not covered by the dogma. Total hypocrisy, just like those christians who take charity seriously unless you're gay.
Yes. Walls and checkpoints do work. Remember how it was basically a daily thing to hear about a bus or market bombing in Israel 10, 20 years ago? Then they built that electronic wall and those checkpoints, and while bleeding heart liberals tear their shirts open in outrage over the unpleasantness experienced by Palestinians, the bus and market bombings have stopped. The fuckers had to go in the next country, hiding behind women and children to throw rockets at Israel, and that problem more or less got solved too. Now apparently they started attacking people with knives.
France and other countries will learn. People who are willing to blow themselves up should not be allowed with the civilized people, and for that there's nothing like walls and checkpoints. It makes it more difficult for idiots to cause damage.
You probably blame religion for stuff like the Paris bombings or the Inquisition, but really it's bullshit. It's all about people, not religion.
Look at the brave old USSR, which was officially godless and atheist, and see how many millions died in prison camps or politically-driven mass murders. Same with Cambodia.
I know it's comforting to have something to blame for all the problems in the world, but that's basically the same as joining a religion because its dogma is a comforting way to see the world. Truth is, people have killed, stolen and raped each others forever, it has nothing to do with religion or politics, it's just how people are.
So we've heard it all about religion. Religions are stupid, religious books are fables, god is a security blanket blablabla. Can we please move beyond this? It feels as dated as SCO bashing.
It's tough being a CIO. He looks like he's up there, but the CEO, CFO, COO and all other cool CxOs all look down on the CIO and make fun of him in his back, they don't even invite him to join them at the cool people's table at the office Christmas party. He sits at the loser table, with the head of HR and the head of facilities, and instead of hearing the good stories about coke parties and hookers, he hears about groupons and vacations in Punta Cana.
People, give a break to your CIO. He's a reject and a commodity like everyone else in IT, and sooner or later they'll replace him with someone from that Indian company where he outsourced your job.
time spent on security management jumped from 24 percent in 2014 to 31 percent in 2015.
Wow! 24% of their time WAS spent on "security" and yet we read about breach after breach after breach. I'm sure that adding those additional 6 percentage points will make all the difference.
I guess the missing 1% in your calculations got lost in one of those breaches you keep reading about
People have been loading their trucks with their dead (or senile) parents possessions for as long as trucks existed, and other people have handled estate paperwork on behalf of ungrateful cunts since even before that. This has nothing to do with your brother being a baby-boomer and you being a GenXer.
What makes me think you're entitled is your complaint that "millenials might be the first generation in a long time to get the shaft by their departing parents". Departing parents are human beings whose journey on Earth came to an end, they're not a winning lottery ticket to be claimed by their next of kin.
if you're a baby boomer or gen-Xer, you've pretty much fucked my generation.
You have a point here. Being an entitled brat is not part of someone's DNA, so your parent's generation is definitely to blame for raising the young people like you who think the deck is stacked against them because nobody is giving them a 6-figure job on a silver platter when they walk away from years of instagramming themselves during college parties.
You need to get out of your basement more often. Inheritance is far more than a suburban thing.
In many cultures it's typical for parents to leave something to their kids, sometimes it even happens when the kids need it the most. As an example, middle-upper class Indians often give huge amounts of money to their kids when they get settled to help them get started in life; and those kids plan to do the same with their own kids twenty or thirty years down the road. That's how a family gets richer over time.
In North America and Europe, it depends. Most people will "what's left" to their kids when they die. But I think it's a good thing when older people take care of themselves first and go on those cruises and slot machine tournaments, because once they pass away, most of the time the money they spent their life saving a penny at a time will get blown in a matter of days by their kids on credit card debt and big screen tv.
I live in a home with one other person where we have about 5,000 (or 6,500 if you want to count some of the non-environmentally controlled spaces like the deck) square feet. That is what you can have.
If you live in 5,000 square feet for $700 per month, you're either in a very sparsely populated area or in a one-star town like Detroit. There's nothing wrong with that, but that's a lifestyle choice that has nothing to do with being a millenial or not. In any event I doubt that someone who would consider moving in a tiny bedroom in a shared living space because they enjoy the social aspect would be interested to live on a cottage in rural Idaho.
It's easy not to expect things from your children. But what about your parents? Do you expect them to still do things for you, pay things for you, act as a free nanny for you? Do you get mad because they squander away their savings on trips and slot machine gambling, wasting "your" inheritance?
Hopefully not. Hopefully instead you show them respect and keep smiling when you tell them for the 100th time how to power on the laptop you gave them last Christmas. Not only because elders deserve respect, but also because they wiped your ass, fed you, protected you, and put a roof over your head when you were a kid. And hopefully that's what your kids will do when you grow old, but already if they don't come knocking each time they need stuff you'll be luckier than most people your age.
“Singles only” or “no kids” is currently okay only in “senior living facilities” in most states.
There's also 55+ communities and those are perfectly legal. They refuse kids but couples are welcome, they also usually are ok if only the husband or wife is 55+ and the other one is younger.
Slashdot Mirror
So you're one of those people who follow the letter of the law, but not its spirit.
Did you really post that on Slashdot
A post about people who moderate gets modded up... CRONYISM MUCH
And what makes bad people do good things, if not religion? Mother Teresa comes to mind.

Same deal as most other religions, it demanded that people accepted its teachings on insufficient or absent evidence
You mean, like global warming, carbon dating or Darwin's theory?
It seems Ahmed's clock is even more lucrative than those fake detectors.

That still exists, but now there's webcams and it costs $29.99 a month to watch.
