the difference is obama is president NOW. things can be done about obama NOW. bush, clinton, reagan, all gone, nothing can be done (for the record I was complaining just as loud about bush, my posting history here backs that up)
attacking obama for being wrong, does not mean previous people get a pass. people really need to stop with the "bu bu BU BUT BUSH!!!!""
10th amendment says if it is not in the constitution, the federal government has no say in it
as such, states are well within their rights to have laws on the books here, the feds abusing the interstate commerce clause to outlaw products it doesnt like is clearly outside the scope of the intended use
oh it was no attack at all on my part, I was just curious on your reasoning for choosing him. being the most vocal in the WoD, it was a good one to go with
why go back to reagan??? obama promised to leave states alone, and not 2 months into office his people are busting innocent people who he promised (when needing votes) to leave alone.
You are implying that her fear was unjustified, but the reaction seen in the days after the event suggest was it was fully justified.
Im not sure this is even logical. Because event B caused fear, , then fear was justified prior and during to event A, which was simple overhearing someone elses conversation that had nothing to do with the person claiming "fear"
yeah, I am fearful everytime i walk in public because others are talking to each other....
I posted that because it showed her literal twitter posts. there is nothing misleading in that video. her side of the story can be found as well, and was given in the interview in the main article
i just got around to reading the article and wow. shes even worse than I recall
Ten months later, I was sitting opposite Adria Richards in a cafe at San Francisco airport. She seemed introverted and delicate, just the way Hank had come across over Google Hangout. She told me about the moment she overheard the comment about the big dongle. “Have you ever had an altercation at school and you could feel the hairs rise up on your back?” she asked me.
“You felt fear?” I asked.
“Danger,” she said. “Clearly my body was telling me, ‘You are unsafe.’”
Which was why, she said, even though she’d never before complained about sexual harassment, she “slowly stood up, rotated from my hips, and took three photos”. She tweeted one, “with a very brief summary of what they said. Then I sent another tweet describing my location. Right? And then the third tweet was the [conference’s] code of conduct.”
“You talked about danger,” I said. “What were you imagining might?”
“Have you ever heard that thing, men are afraid that women will laugh at them and women are afraid that men will kill them?” she replied. “So. Yeah.”
'He’s a white male,' Adria said. 'I’m a black Jewish female. He said things that could be inferred as offensive to me'
I told Adria that people might consider that an overblown thing to say. She had, after all, been at a tech conference with 2,000 bystanders.
“Sure,” she replied. “And those people would probably be white and they would probably be male.”
This woman clearly has not learned a thing in the past 2 years. Which would explain why hank (the guy she got fired) got a job the next day, and she still has no job
While I do think that a lot of the stuff that was done and said to her after this incident are despicable, it doesn't make her any less of a hurtful, spiteful, vindictive, hypocritical, hateful excuse of a human being. Additionally, her comment about Downs Syndrome is just...disturbing.
agreed. people took it too far, with the death threats and whatnot. but it is really hard to feel bad for her when she makes comments like these https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
You know she is STILL out there spewing hate and racism? I checked her twitter page out after being reminded of who she was a few months back and shes still out there saying the same things that got her in trouble the first time.
funny, since the only ones ever brought up are the koch brothers
but the dems are just as good at spending the money, and simply better at acting like they are not taking money from the big donors But if you like, id love to add another name to the soros' of the world. Tom Steyer who has spend over 50 million of his own money on democratic candidates recently - http://www.powerlineblog.com/a...
but no, the republicans are the part of the big evil rich....
or hes investing in carbon credit offsets, a feel good plan for rich elite types to feel like they are doing something for the environment, while at the same time flying around on private yets living in huge mansions....
'He has accepted more than $1.2 million in money from the fossil-fuel industry over the last decade while failing to disclose that conflict of interest in most of his scientific papers. Im a little curious if it is standard practice to not disclose this type of relationship. If it is, it is wrong. I see an ethics issue at hand
Id like to see a breakdown on which scientists are getting paid and by whom in all their works.

actually i dont know what you are referring to, but i would like to know more now
,and instead of the humans killing eath other and fighting, we can turn it into a pay-per-view, and all make bets on the "wars"! Brilliant!
such insight. I must change my views at once!

no one is saying kids should have access. this is a moot point
the best argument is the constitutional one.
They needed an amendment to outlaw alcohol. so the same should hold true with X Y and Z
why go back to reagan??? obama promised to leave states alone, and not 2 months into office his people are busting innocent people who he promised (when needing votes) to leave alone.
clearly. The news has been overwhelming for decades now the studies have been done (and buried) by the government since at least 76.
so who is making those new genisis consoles with like 50 built in games??? They are pretty awesome for 30 bucks BTW
they even had a head start, remember sega channel? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...
read the article
And do you have any citations on how much they spent last year??? I provided mine

then complain to the event organizers like an adult, dont troll twitter and complain when you get trolled back
I disagree. I do think this same thing would have happened if it were anyone else
it was clearly an over reaction, no question about that, The way I see it though, is fighting fire with fire. (in this case, not in all cases)

my solution is stronger penalties for those who cause accidents at red lights. not a slap on the wrist and a fine but a real penalty
