The word "xenophobia" apparently means one thing to you, and something else entirely to, well, everyone else on the planet.
The point is not foreigners, nor is it foreigners expressing their opinions on American issues. The point is foreigners pretending to be Americans, or citizens of any country whose American election-related activities are financed or otherwise backed by foreigners.
Meanwhile, here in Sweden, we've had the longest and warmest late spring/summer/early autumn on record, and we've still not had the first hard frost we should normally have had 2-3 weeks ago.
The first time I saw one of those things, I knew I absolutely DID NOT WANT. For the same reason I'll never buy a Mac for my own use—why should I make myself dependent on a single supplier?
Actually RT is not all bad. Naturally it's slanted in favour of Putin/Kremlin line, but it is still interesting at times, and you can always cross-check stories that seem dubious against other sources. Which is what the discerning reader should be doing in any event, regardless of the outlet.
Nor should we be afraid of a little criticism. For example: Is Ryan correct in her assertion that Trump does in fact represent the "real" America? Why or why not?
The Founders originally wanted to ban political parties altogether, but could not work out a way to do it that didn't stomp on freedom of speech and freedom of association.
There are also real-world consequences for making threats. You do realise that logs can be subpoenaed, turning you from "AC" to "AC posting from 83.239.45.231 on 2018-10-16@05:46:15" pretty quickly, don't you?
1. Nobody has modded your comment, up or down, so far. You posted AC, which means you started at 0, and so your post remains at 0 now.
2. If the thread looks "retarded", well, you started it, didn't you?
3. I couldn't downmod your comment even if I wanted to; you cannot moderate and post in the same discussion.
4. If you can't see how the issue might affect Veale *personally*, then perhaps your quest for signs of retardation should include the mirror.
5. Why are you so quick to defend against something I never said?
Looks to me like you identify really strongly with Twitter for some reason, and that you've a bit of a persecution complex as well. What's up with all that?
I live in Stockholm. In my suburb we have a high school, a junior high, an elementary school, and about 6 daycare centres (3 of those within sight of my apartment). Parents who don't like those choices are free to move themselves and their kids to a different suburb, or even to a different city, just like they are in the US.
BTW, I attended public schools growing up in the US, and my family was not "impoverished", nor were most of the families of the other 5,000 or so kids who attended the public schools in our town.
I've been visiting China regularly for the last ten years or so, I've always had a pretty nice time there, and I've never had any problems with the authorities or anyone else.

Relax. Nobody's trying to stop you from reading RT.
Holy false dichotomy, Batman!

It wasn't the Remain folks who had to admit after the election that they'd been lying all along.
Amen, brother! I have never really understood how anyone could consider blind faith a virtue.
I apologise for already posting in this thread, so that I cannot contribute to a +5, Flamebait, just to piss off Jerry's fanboi with mod points.
Maybe next time.

You were saying...?
Slashdot posts don't get deleted. Perhaps they are being moderated below your reading threshold.
As long as you've been around, and you don't know this?
... and no one involved holds any office today.
Anna Lindh certainly doesn't.
Sorry, could you repeat that in English, please? Thanks!
Well... yeah.
You're just now figuring this out?
Found the telco shill.
Filters? Buttons? Bah.
Beans, grinder, plunger pot—coffee the way God intended.
I'm glad you were amused. Please tip your server generously.
I do. Which is why I usually ignore posts like yours.
The first time I saw one of those things, I knew I absolutely DID NOT WANT. For the same reason I'll never buy a Mac for my own use—why should I make myself dependent on a single supplier?
How many times do you need to be told that a private entity is not obligated in any way to provide you with a platform?
You can drop that nonsense now.

That is an *excellent* suggestion. If I had mod points today, you'd be getting one instead of me just flapping my yap about it.
"Gesetze sind wie Würste, man sollte besser nicht dabei sein, wenn sie gemacht werden"?

Any other nonsense you'd care to share?
