Are you incapable of rational thought? Ok, lets play along.
Nobody is innocent. Shit, that's Catholic doctrine even before you consider the impossibility of leaving the house in the morning without breaking multiple laws.
Then there's their contribution to wealth inequality, the internalised racism and sexism, the burden they put on society as a child.
We haven't even considered the damage they do to the environment with their selfish breathing, walking and consumption of food and constrained resources.
So really you have to consider Breivik as a hero, as he's provided a far more permanent solution to this widespread guilt than even you seem to be suggesting he should receive.
And yet nonetheless you want him abused through the mental anguish of solitary confinement? You're a monster, you should be ashamed, why you deserve no less yourself.
Or maybe - just maybe - you could stop being such an argumentative cock.
Oh, agreed. I was replying a post that focussed on that one side though, so seemed prudent not to expand scope.
They can have their own careers
I think this is a massive contributor to reduced birth rates in 'developed' countries.
most likely it is the woman who has to quit work to raise a child. That is an extremely large economic disadvantage.
For which she is economically compensated by the man, who continues to suffer a lower life expectancy as a result of continuing to work while his partner enjoys a more relaxed lifestyle.
Divorce sucks. Don't assume only men get it bad in a divorce. Both parties are hurt. The children are hurt.
Yes, but predominantly it's the men that pay the financial cost of it all, and predominantly it's the men that lose the benefits of being a parent.
How about this simple idea: With the use of contraception, couples have children when they want and not accidentally and be forced into a marriage.
The challenge being raised is that not enough men are willing to be fathers. More contraception is an interesting suggestion to solve that issue.
These days it requires two both incomes to afford a decent living
Which is just bullshit. Plenty of single people live alone and have a great standard of living. They just don't get the massive house with a pool, the luxury car and the early retirement.
C'mon, it's much more than that. The men in the US are not getting married, and having fewer children.
You wouldn't attribute that to the increased demands and expectations from women that makes it harder for some men to find a partner then? You don't think an improved awareness of the economic disadvantages fatherhood imposes on a man is involved? You think the gender bias in the legal system isn't putting men off marriage and the subsequent damage caused by a potential divorce?
It's increasingly difficult to justify marriage, fatherhood is a risky proposition when so many men end up paying to raise a child they're prevented from seeing and men are being told at school and university that they must adhere to a feminist ideal that in turn puts off many women that want a successful alpha male as a partner.
I guess it could just be all down to porn though. Yeah, porn and sexbots. Fuck me.
I'll take my chances with 7+ women jurors on average and my story about a pedophile taking pictures of my young daughter. Legal and moral do not always coincide.
Meanwhile the photographer will be winning a libel suit against your claims they're a pedophile which will rather complicate your defense against the assault charge.
Where do you live? I'll pop over and photograph your daughters. I like photographing children, it's legal and people like the photographs when I share them on the internet.
I'm just going to have to write the Ravioli Testament in which the FSM makes it very clear that followers of his religion must at no point actually believe he exists.
I'll close it with the admonishment that satire is the only true representation of pastafarian belief.
At this point the judge will have to acknowledge that the prisoner's beliefs are fully aligned to the holy texts and that they are a true follower of the religion.
Or maybe they could stop giving wankers privileges based on arbitrary statements of illogical belief.
he doesn't seem to understand what he's saying. Is the "communications platform" he's talking about Facebook itself? Because if it is, then that's stupid because one has a monopoly in a marketplace, not just over a single company. It's like saying "Facebook has a monopoly on Facebook".
I don't need to defend anything, your utter inability to comprehend a simple point is not an attack, it's something to be pitied.
All information is classified. Some of it is classified as public domain, some of it classified as "probably shouldn't share with the media", some of it is classified Top Secret and some of it probably is classified "I could tell you but then I'd have to shoot you."
The point readily highlighted by their data is that people seek out and shit on people based on race and gender.
What utter bullshit. You're jumping to conclusions.
Here's another hypothesis: Female and ethnic minority Guardian journalists publish more stupidly one-sided and idiotic articles that draw a lot of negative feedback because it's almost impossible to find anything constructive to say about them. The Guardian records any contradiction to those articles as 'abuse' no matter how it's worded. As a result the statistics are skewed.
If you want evidence, consider how many comments get blocked on any article that supports the myth of a gender pay gap. That's not people seeking out a journalist based on demographic attributes, that's the Guardian readership calling out the terrible journalism being presented to them.
I'll get modded down now, for going 'I agree' but..
The moderation system on Slashdot is indeed excellent. It's not perfect, it can be gamed, but generally it's a community led flexible and effective system that anybody can easily ignore through a change in their settings.
Even the trolls get modded up if they're accidentally insightful or funny.
Then again, I've modded 'troll' a comment on another story because an anonymous poster basically posted, "It's all the fault of [racial group]" with no justification, no relevance and no value. The Guardian would support me, but they'd block it entirely and they'd also block a post that added, "..because [reason], as described [reference]" whereas on Slashdot that will be evaluated and considered as a potentially interesting contribution, whether it's a popular or politically acceptable viewpoint or not.
Slashdot moderation and metamoderation rocks. It's single-handedly kept the site alive by allowing continued interesting discussion, and that's the real draw of the site.
Thus proving your own ignorance and prejudice. There was nothing stupid about the comment to which you replied. It was accurate and made a salient point.
Replace "Muslims" with "Black people" and you have an exact quote from Hendrik Verwoerd. He was wrong, so is this "authority" you are appealing to now.
He's the former chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. That's some influential authority in the UK, and whether we agree with the statement or not, the fact that someone in that position is telling British people that foreigners must be allowed to avoid integration kills any pretense of equality or multiculturalism.
Listing misogyny while disregarding the equal and far more vocal amount of misandry often spouted by the very people complaining about misogyny does kind of leave half the human population feeling pretty uncared for.
Had they focussed purely on harrassment, abuse and just said 'sexism' then it would have at least felt moderately balanced at a surface level, even though it's pretty clear that many supporters of this censorship are violently sexist and racist both online and off.
In what job do you get to tell your boss to pound sand without consequences?
If my boss tells me to break the law, I will refuse and the consequences wont be bad for me.
Same for Brennan. Worse case, he gets a nice little pay-off and his next interview goes, "Why did you leave your last company?" "I was given instructions I believed to be illegal, consulted with lawyers who confirmed that compliance would break the law and declined to carry out those activities."
Forbes is one of the few sites for which I do end up disabling ad blocking.
Are you fucking insane? Forbes served malware masquerading as adverts. Now they want you disable your protection against such fuckwittery and you'd gleefully complying?
Could you share some contact details, I'd like to know where to send the men in white coats.
Try to take a broken toaster back to any big box retailer and get your money back: Unless they really want your repeat business they will make you suffer in a long line to get a "reconditioned" replacement that won't last a week.
Then vote for stronger consumer protection laws. In the UK if I buy a toaster and it breaks in a week, I get my cash back. I don't get some second hand formerly broken piece of shit, I get a refund.
No developer gets perfect requirements. If they do, the requirements are wrong and/or out of date.
An inherent part of development is filling those gaps. One reason agile methodologies were so attractive is that they reduced the feedback loop times.
You don't need to know what's wanted, you just use techniques that address those gaps without wasting time. Sure, it uses your time, but is yours really any more valuable than that of the people you're demanding those intricate detailed requirements from?
Just fucking get on with it. Write working software, you'd be surprised how often you can get it right first time.
Fuck no. Steampunk rocked long before millenials were born and will rock long after they've stopped trying to turn it into some fetishised hideous nonfunctional encrusting of gears onto otherwise mundane items.

I disagree - I have to, because otherwise I'd be obliged to point out that you're clearly too broken to live in a civilised society and.. well.
Are you incapable of rational thought? Ok, lets play along.

Why are we talking about a 5 or 20 year JAIL sentence?
Because the law covers forcing a passenger jet with 300 people on board to crash land, as well as idiots shooting at a $50 drone.

I don't need to defend anything, your utter inability to comprehend a simple point is not an attack, it's something to be pitied.
Nobody said that they did. You're calling him stupid because you lack the intelligence to understand his point.
Can you at least understand the word ironic?
Really?
All information is classified. Some of it is classified as public domain, some of it classified as "probably shouldn't share with the media", some of it is classified Top Secret and some of it probably is classified "I could tell you but then I'd have to shoot you."
It's a big fat non-issue.
1. There is a real gender bias. It's mostly against women, but in a small number of categories it's against men.
These statistics prove nothing of the sort.
They haven't controlled for article content, for article stupidity, for whether the article is a troll or clickbait, for any number of other factors.
This is because doing that would require some semblance of honesty, integrity and other words equally unsuitable for describing Guardian employees.
The point readily highlighted by their data is that people seek out and shit on people based on race and gender.
What utter bullshit. You're jumping to conclusions.
Here's another hypothesis: Female and ethnic minority Guardian journalists publish more stupidly one-sided and idiotic articles that draw a lot of negative feedback because it's almost impossible to find anything constructive to say about them.

Cultural integration I would posit is a prerequisite for multi-culturalism, as otherwise you merely have multiple cultures.
But then I think all religionists are stupid so I may not be entirely unbiased here.

It's illegal in the US to torture people, to unlawfully detain people, to murder.
Why does their armed insurrection change any of that? If they're soldiers, the Geneva Convention protects them. If they're not, they're criminals.
It's still illegal to torture and murder them. Is that too difficult to comprehend?
In what job do you get to tell your boss to pound sand without consequences?

And now to find out they are probably throwing money through these tax schemes on top?
So you're basically just ranting with no actual facts, just blind ignorance.
Made more ironic that it's been known for years that Cameron's family fortune was in fact made through tax havens:
