It's a poor way to phrase it, but the sentiment is correct. If everyone is racist then it's a meaningless category. There'd be no value to calling anyone racist; we would all just shrug our shoulders and say "yeah... so?".
Well he should be, he's a dumbass. The original AC may be an idiot too, but he's right about one thing; the people of India are Caucasian.
Also this virtue signaling fuck just had to toss out the "founded by a woman" line. Only one problem; Fatima Al-Fihri didn't found a university; she used her inheritance to found a mosque. Universities didn't become a thing until 300 years later. That her mosque eventually became a university is nice and all, but like a good SJW he's trying to rewrite history by suggesting that she founded it as one.
Who needs a mortar. A kid could take out your panels with a BB gun, or even a slingshot. If your enemy has any smarts at all they'd just gather up all the kids they can find, hand out slingshots, and pay them a dollar each to go fuck with your panels.
As a bonus, they get free propaganda video when you send out your soldiers to put down the preteen uprising.
I feel the same way about Hillary voters. I don't think they vote against their own interests for either of those reasons. I think they have and are being deliberately disinformed and propagandized via CNN, MSNBC, Huffpo, etc, and are living in social media bubbles. Many others are simply uninformed and vote like they have always voted. I don't think people who vote for Democrat are dumb at all, just mislead by opportunistic billionaires.
Unrestricted competition requires competition - which requires the government to do something to prevent the formation of monopolies and oligopolies.
The problem is that in the USA (and in some other countries as well) government regulation has tended to encourage monopolies rather than discouraging them. They're not true monopolies in the sense that no one company has complete control of the entire market, but the barrier to entry has been raised to such absurd heights that the existing companies have no real fear of competition.
Organs ain't cheap because so many fuckheads don't consent, or can't be bothered to fill out a donation form. You take away the consent requirement, the supply increases, the price plummets, and there's no longer a reason to murder anyone.
Of course your entire line of logic kinda sucks anyway. An action doesn't become unethical just because criminals might engage in it. That's like arguing that driving a car is unethical because cars aren't cheap and you driving around in one encourages carjacking.
The idea that harvesting organs without consent is "unethical" is dubious at best. Our opposition to it in the west stems entirely from absurd religious beliefs.
Even if I were to accept as given that it actually is unethical, it would be almost inconsequentially so. It certainly doesn't compare to the kind of unethical experiments which many of the others here are discussing. At worst it's just theft; a poor reason to reject data which will almost invariably save lives.
yet you are under the delusion that almost zero space tourism so far automatically leads to colonies on mars
Since I've never said anything remotely like that, it's now clear that you are definitely delusional. Thanks for letting me know not to waste any more time.
Clarification: wagering against a fool who claims that "Nobody is going to the moon or Mars on a tourist trip in your lifetim" is easy money.
this guy predicted 100 million vr goggles five years ago
It wasn't 5 years ago; more like 4 years and 6 months. He still has half a year to go in his prediction. That doesn't help him much though since the current number of VR goggles sold is somewhere in the 10-20 million range. If the current 8% growth in the market continues, it will still be a while before there are 100 million out there.
Not sure what the relevance is. His prediction was overly optimistic; yours is just retarded. Are you under some weird delusion that him being wrong about VR somehow makes you right about a completely different thing?
But their ability to execute the boring, day-to-day stuff like running a manufacturing plant? Pretty awful.
That might have been an accurate statement 2 years ago, although even then it may have been a stretch. I'm guessing you haven't looked at their production/sales figures recently.
Interesting to see that the short-sellers are now enough of a subculture that they've developed their own memes, isolated from the rest of society. Thanks for explaining, that's fascinating.

Yeah, Poland ain't very diverse.
Here's a question: which group commits the largest amount of mass shootings, by far, than any other group?
Blacks.
How about child molestation?
It's a tossup between catholic priests and Muslims.
It's racists to notice facts. You're like a literal Nazi.
I did. So did the other guy. You're clearly hard of hearing, though. Too many explosions I suspect.
You gotta understand ... he's a combat engineer. If it doesn't involve explosives, he doesn't know anything about it.
Corporations are back to laying of workers again
Talk about a workplace benefit! I gotta move to the US ...

You have to be careful about using this word "we". Some people throughout history have known it. The vast majority do not understand it even today.
It's not religion, it's property. My body is my body, even if I'm dead. I get to decide what happens to it.
That's fine; I'm perfectly ok with the doctors asking your lifeless corpse whether it has any objections to organ donation.
Interesting. Do they do a really poor job of teaching reading comprehension in your country, or is that just your cluelessness shining through again?
I wouldn't know; do they reach you in dumbfuckistan to assume that everyone who doesn't believe the same bullshit as you do must be from the US?
I can help you out there: you're clueless.

You know, things that are actually true and have sent a whole bunch of people to jail so far.
Yeah, that McCarthy guy was quite successful.
An anti-commie, but a national socialist.
That's like being a staunchly anti-vegan vegetarian.

Nobody is going to the moon or Mars on a tourist trip in your lifetime
If you weren't an anonymous coward, I'd offer you a wager on that. Easy money.
