Fucker, those cunts in the helicopter were not defending their own country, they were part of an invasion force slaughtering people trying to defend their country.
kek. Thank you for that reading from the Big Kids Popup Book of Armed Conflicts. I greatly appreciate your input.
Genetic engineering is not a mutation. It is something completely different. It is adding or removing a gene or many genes.
aka Mutation
noun: mutation; plural noun: mutations 1. the action or process of mutating. 2. the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes.
Did I change the gene, or did I add and remove stuff from it, Einstein?
You have no clue about what you are talking.
Mr. Dick T. O'nary disagrees.
And all the GMO trouble would be no trouble if: a) the industry would stop lying so that people like you get a clue
Heh. Yeah, those fuckers at Miriam Webster and their goddamn lies...
b) people like you actually would be _forced_ to take a reasonable amount of biology in school
I would hate to have gone to your school...
Then again I suspect you slept through the classes you were forced to take, so maybe the school wasn't to blame...
c) it was labeled
What the funk do you lose if it is labeled?
Money and sanity.
I don't care that you are to stupid for a) and b) but denying me my right of c), that is idiotic.
I agree that you have the right to be an idiot, but I'm not sure why you think that gives you the right to force people to do what you want. Be a good little retard and just buy the stuff that says "Non-GMO" on it.
You have no advantage from that. It is just pure evilness.You do it "just because" for absolutely no rational reason.
I do it for the same reason that I won't put "liquid autism" on vaccines or "eeevil cancer" on cell phones. Because I don't like the idea of humouring morons even in day-to-day conversation, let alone when it involves wasting money and creating unnecessary hurdles for business.
You might want to pick up a history book now and then instead of pretending to be a property owner.
The Cold War ran from 1947 to 1991. The Yugo, marketed with the help of Armand Hammer, did not start selling in the US until 1984. If you believe that was the "height" of the Cold War, then nothing you say in this discussion can be taken seriously.
I see. So your claim is that Melania Trump is a "Russian export" because she was born in the nation of Yugoslavia which had a great relationship with the USA but didn't sell it the Yugo until 1984.
Strong argument there. Can't argue with your logic.
A sovereign state with a neural position on the split between the iron curtain and the western bloc, which was friendly with both the USA and the USSR. During the height of the cold war they managed to sell America the infamous Yugo, and had military personnel posted in the USA as part of cultural/military exchange programs.
If that's your definition of "Soviet client state" you're even more delusional than I previously thought.
I've lived and worked in Belgrade and own property there and in Montenegro.
This is a bit like the old "I have a black friend" routine. Regardless of whether or not it's true, it clearly means nothing in your case.
You can't see that they're unarmed civilians, nor can you see any children. You can also hear the pilots saying they think it's more insurgents coming to help their buddies. What kind of asshole do you have to be to lie about that?
I watched the full video without the editing. It clearly indicated that insurgents in the area were engaged with US forces. It also contained radio chatter between the pilots which indicated that they believed that their targets were armed. From the video footage anyone who isn't an ideologically motivated asshole could see why they might have been confused; at least one of the reporters was carrying a long cylindrical object which could easily be mistaken for an RPG, and the cameras held by the rest could easily be mistaken for rifles with slings.
A more honest asshole might claim that the helicopter pilots were trigger happy, or that they weren't careful enough. It would still be debatable given the context, but at least it would be an honest argument. Only the previously mentioned ideologically motivated asshole would claim that the helicopter pilots knew they were firing on civilians / reporters.
You have to admit that the US incarcerates more of its population (%-wise) than even authoritarian countries.
Two problems with this:
1. Truly bad authoritarian countries don't generally have to arrest that many people; the populace is scared shitless of doing anything to end up in prison. Furthermore ones like the USSR tend to have creative ways of solving prison overpopulation, such as using prisoners to perform slave labour in work environments which OSHA would have a few issues with.
2. While the US prison population may be high, this does not necessarily mean that more people are being arrested.
Example for that second point: country A arrests 1,000 people per year, with an average sentence length of 5 years. Country B arrests 1,000 people every year with an average sentence length of 10 years. The prison population in country A at any given time will be 5,000 people. The prison population in country B at any given time will be 10,000 people. The same percentage of the population is being incarcerated in both nations, yet the prison population in one is double that of the other.
It's adorable when you pretend to know stuff, but back in the real world Slovenia had been a part of the Austrian empire and then became a province of Yugoslavia... several years before "Teh Soviets" even existed.
But all of those places are over there around that "Europe" are, though, so like they're all the same anyway, right?
To be fair, it's not much of a negotiation for him.
It's like convincing a salesman to let you take a Ferrari for a test drive. If you're a homeless junkie who hasn't showered in two weeks, you better be one hell of a negotiator. Whereas if you're a millionaire with a nice suit, all you have to do is ask.
Thanks. It's not surprising, but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. If I had seen his responses to you, I wouldn't have bothered responding to him; it's clear he doesn't care about facts.
That's not a very nice way to talk about the First Lady.
I know that some Americans such as yourself are completely ignorant about the rest of the world, but there are actually more countries than just America and Russia. One would think that you would at least recognise a country you bombed a couple decades ago.
You think it should be yours (including the option to deny others having some of this life-essential material), for the simple reason you happened to dig it up first?
Yes.
Of course, what I think doesn't matter if I don't have the power to keep it for myself, just like what you think doesn't matter unless you have the power to take it from me. So your entire thought exercise is just mental masturbation; in the real world it all comes down to the ability to project force.
Agreed! No nation ever implemented a national socialist system as envisioned by Naumann. Nazism is all about equality, and having a dictator and elite ruling class is the opposite of equality. Nazism could only work with a democratic form of government. Most people have no idea that nazism is an economic system, not a form of government. Americans and the rest of the so-called 'free world' have been brainwashed and fed misinformation for many decades. Nazism threatens the wealth of the greedy ones who will do anything to keep that wealth for themselves. Capitalism is nothing more than the Law of the Jungle..something that wild animals live by, not civilized beings.
These days, there is no excuse for not including that kind of information; information technology is more than sufficient to track it, and manage creation of label content
It not about information technology, it's about logistics. Let's take corn as an example, and let's assume we have four categories we care about: culinary type, location grown, genetically engineered or not, pesticides used or not. Assuming each of those is binary, you now need at least 16 different collection/storage points. You need to load them on separate trucks. You need 16 different shelves for them in stores. Restaurants have to be careful not to mix types. Processed food producers have to do the same.
It gets worse, though, because some of the categories aren't binary. You might have corn from 4 different countries. Now you potentially need 32 separate shelves/storage locations. And why stop at country of origin? Maybe people want to know which state the corn was grown in. How many shelves you think that will need?
Pesticide use, likewise, is not necessarily binary. There are many different types of pesticides. Don't consumers want to know which TYPE of pesticide was used? Go ahead and add another layer of segregation.
The more of your absurd labeling requirements you demand be fulfilled, the more difficult and costly the logistics become. You've successfully created 100+ different types of sweet corn which all look the same, taste the same, have essentially the same nutritional content, and pose the same amount of "risk" to the consumer, but which you want to keep separate because reasons. You've increase cost and complexity with absolutely zero benefit to anyone. Now go ahead and do that for every other food item.
It's about as rational as a little kid demanding that the peas on his plate not touch his carrots... except at least the kid isn't going to drive up the cost of food for everyone.

Where does it say "only kids" in TFA?
It's implied by the "war on kids" hyperbole. Nobody calls WW2 "the war on Poland".
We tried that, but the babies were really crap marksmen even after months of training.
Has anyone yet pointed out that they probably didn't inherit a back door with the username "Cisco"?

A random mutation *changes* an existing gene.

And, no, they were not walking with armed insurgents. They had assault rifles
You heard it here folks: people with assault rifles are not armed!
I watched the full video without the editing. It clearly indicated that insurgents in the area were engaged with US forces. It also contained radio chatter between the pilots which indicated that they believed that their targets were armed.

And has killed a lot of people in pointless wars.
Agreed, WW2 was a total waste of time.
Interpol getting involved in a single-person sex offense? LOL!
Yeah, lol! They've been hunting Roman Polanski since 2005! Hilarious!
That's a nice hypothesis but, for the third time, historical trends suggest otherwise.
*French national anthem

Well that settles it then. The moon belongs to France.
People who make $400,000 a year are laying claim to the entire world?
while also shirking their responsibility to the society and civilization that made it possible.
The 1% who pay 40% of all income tax are shirking their responsibility?
