Also, does anyone know of any time in history--any time--when building a wall at the border worked out well for the wall builders? I honestly can't think of even one example.
Hadrian's Wall. Two and a half centuries of use suggests it was working pretty well.
I did pay $50 a year to a site because I supported their business, even though I didn't view much of the paywalled content.
Then they showed me a preview of content and asked me to log in to view the rest. I logged in. They removed access to the preview and the rest of the content, on the grounds that by logging in I'd confirmed I was in a country to which they couldn't share that content.
Obviously I just went to another website and enjoyed the same content, in full. I also cancelled my membership. Fuck them, fuck their business and fuck giving them $50 a year.
Nonsense. I have requested that the site sends me some information. I can choose how to process that information - e.g. I can render some of it visually for human readability, and I can choose to ignore some of it such as links to additional content in which I know I have no interest.
At no point have I agreed to view everything sent to me, let alone request and view additional content the server provider may want to push at me.
Yeah. I can imagine it being a nightmare in New York but working effectively in Texas - where the trucks have a rifle in the back people are coincidentally more polite.
Your post is a great example of driving in a city full of cunts.
Luckily in the UK people are far more courteous, rarely drive big pick-up trucks and aren't stupid enough to drive down the middle of a two lane fucking road towards oncoming traffic, even when the lanes aren't marked.
Because there's no fucking concrete divider. Because your car and ability are not the only factors here. Because you're not stupid enough to do 100mph towards an oncoming vehicle unless you're comfortable that there's a clear margin for error that will make an accident extremely unlikely.
Sure, share a link. A contact/feedback form wouldn't hurt - think about whether you want to engage with people that would use it, or whether it's just a way for them to share thoughts one-way.
But I'd suggest keeping it anonymous, from the domain registration up. As you did on Slashdot, it'd challenge the preconceptions about the 1% rather than be an ego thing.
I don't kick puppies, I even walk gingerly around them. After I steal the baby's candy, I give it back. I may take their pacifier and hide it for my own amusement but that's because I'm evil. I give that back too. I've never run over a nun. I've never burned down an orphanage. I've never even cheated on my taxes. I've never pushed an old lady out of the way - my home is up in Maine now and they're particularly stout. I don't cut people off in traffic. I'm not more important than you - I'm not better than you either. I've never once shut down a factory and sent everyone home without pay - nor do I pay anyone or reward anyone who does. I only get one vote and nobody has ever told me that my vote is more important than your vote and, if they did, you'd probably enjoy living in my country as I'm mostly sane. I've never torched a cat, a cow, or even stuck a firecracker in a frog's butt. I never bullied anyone. I'd say I'd never hurt anyone but that'd be a lie. I not only got my degree, I served my country to afford it. I do own a BMW (a couple, actually) but I've never run anyone off the road. I put my pants on one leg at a time - I don't even have a tailor or a butler. I do, technically, have a housekeeper and sometimes she lets me pretend to be the boss. I have a dog and he farts just like your dog. I use the same 'net and the same hardware you use. You probably are using a faster computer (at least video card) than I am. I have a cute girlfriend but she's not a supermodel and she wears jeans and a sweatshirt. She has a purse, it was under $100 from LL Bean and is more like a satchel. I think my credit cards have a limit but I don't know what they are - I don't use them. I don't want to eat your baby, even with salt. I've never once been mean to your mother and I'm sure she's a nice lady. I've never had knowing contact with aliens. I have no idea how to buy a law, or a senator. I don't shop at Walmart but I've been in one. You have a bigger television than I do. You probably have a better stereo than I do. I don't steal. I'm willing to do manual labor. I didn't sacrifice a chicken or even a goat to get to where I am - I just got lucky as all hell. I swear, I smoke cigars, and I don't think I've taken a shower yet today. I didn't burn down a church. I've never taken your retirement fund - none of the people I know personally have done that either. Most of the people I know and associate with are not wealthy, they're fairly average and middle class. I drive my own cars - and wouldn't have it any other way. I use the same software others use - nobody makes me special software unless I pay them or do it myself.
Do me a favour? Buy a new domain called theonepercent.com (or something, haven't even checked that one) and just put up a single page with that text in a slightly more readable form. It'd be useful to link to people:)
The woman benefits by not having to go to work, and by spending time with her child.
I'd love to have a few months off with the family. I don't expect this to happen with no financial repercussions.
maybe when men take leave (I took three and a half months the year my kid was born) it doesn't get counted as a gap in hours or experience. At least, there's never been an instance where it's come up
I support fathers getting the same time out of work for the birth of a child that mothers enjoy. A lot of men don't actually want this though.
It would be interesting to get a proper objective study in Canada or one of the Scandinavian countries (with a more balanced approach to parental duties) on whether time out of the office has a greater impact on men or women. Nonetheless I don't think it's unfair that there is an impact.
I didn't need to do any analysis, UCAS have done it for me.

It's ok if you think I'm an arsehole, you're acting on imperfect information - you only get the blinkered misunderstood subset of what I'm actually saying due to your own deficiencies. Don't worry, someone will educate you one day.
Hmm, good question. I'd have to hunt down the original sources and do some digging.
you've given them a penalty for having kids
Nonsense. I've subsidised their lifestyle choice and the market has accurately rewarded their work based on their experience and hours.
Women can choose not to take time off to have children. I know some that have made that choice. I have no issue with others that prefer a different life, as long as they accept that there are trade-offs involved.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah. Must be awful to have to admit that your civilisation's future lifespan will only be measured in centuries.
Or maybe there were political reasons for building the wall, and it was in fact a tremendous success.
To be fair the historical records aren't terribly informative on the matter, but your description does sound somewhat grasping.

You racist piece of shit, stop spreading your message of divisive hatred. You do realise you're breaking the law in the UK with that?
at the top of the hierarchy is white people, who benefit and profit both socially and materially, and thus cannot be victims of racism
Sorry, this is a forum for rational discourse. Tumblr is over there -->
Your anti-white racism is not welcome.
So I can wipe peoples iPhones by entering a bad pin ten times?
Awesome. I'm going to get sacked.
I'm really not convinced that Hoover looked stunning in a paisley print frock.

Then your business model relies on abusing people. Stop. Go out of business.

You never remove the road lines unless you're replacing them with barricades
Or because they're not needed, or because it will reduce average speeds and the likelihood of fatalities on a given road.
What, you're a fucking traffic expert?
Because there's no fucking concrete divider.
Because your car and ability are not the only factors here.
Because you're not stupid enough to do 100mph towards an oncoming vehicle unless you're comfortable that there's a clear margin for error that will make an accident extremely unlikely.
Strange. I have mod points but can't find the '-1 Utter fuckwit' option.
You'd be surprised. A decade of ultra-thin client architectures mean most business systems are now accessed via the browser and don't need Windows.
If using Windows breaks regulatory compliance, loses business or causes business sensitive information to be leaked, Windows is history.
HOAs are a form of local government.
How fucking silly do you sound?
That's ok. Just let women remove unwanted parasites from their body. No murder involved.

I didn't mention race when discussing criminal justice outcomes or health outcomes.
Your educational data doesn't account for relative wealth, and so doesn't address my point around poor white boys.
I may be ignorant, I'm not racist and you're fucking terrible at reading comprehension.
