Last time I checked it has never not been open season on bands of violent people that terrorize the community.
You've clearly never checked then.
humanizing one group of animals (MS-13)
By dehumanising them you're immediately refusing to attempt to understand them, their motives and why they persist against your efforts to eliminate them. Which means you'll fail.
until you humanize the general criminal to the point that it is impossible to uphold the rule of law and have a civil society
Humanising the general criminal is a sign of a civil society.
Dehumanise them and you're no longer civil.
Perfect example is in the UK you will get more time in prison defending your home with lethal force than the criminals that broke in and attacked your family
Complete and total lie. You will get no time in prison for defending your home with lethal force against a criminal you believe is using lethal force against you.
Of course, if the criminal is merely trespassing then yes, you'll go down if you kill them. As you fucking should.
In a sane world you put those people down like the feral animals they are.
Nice oxymoron. In a sane world you don't treat people like feral animals. Are you sane? The evidence isn't looking good.
Sorry you had a bad childhood and grew up on the shitty side of town, but that is neither my fault, and until you attacked me and mine, my problem.
Further demonstrating that you have no wish to live in a civil society.
Criminals and bleeding hearts to do not get to have an input on how we deal with people once they make it our problem.
Yes, they do. Everybody makes and agrees the laws society obeys, and enacting your own excessive violence against people makes you a criminal too.
Ten years of prison, therapy, education, and then a high double digit chance of recidivism and back to jail after they hurt people. Better to just
..fix the currently broken justice system. Not..
put 2-3 rounds of hollow point center mass and take care of the problem and get on with life
..because you too are a criminal and I'm betting you haven't put 2-3 rounds of hollow point centre of your own mass.
Oracle's financials don't show China separately, and they're unlikely to be including China in the Americas or EMEA.
But either way, it's still rather tricky to find out just how large their sales in China are, and that in itself suggests it's not a major market for them.
I'm curious, but why did you link a press release about Asia Pacific revenues when claiming a large presence in China?
Total APAC revenues in Fiscal Year 2017 for Oracle were 15% of their global total, and China is just one of multiple markets in that region (which also includes, e.g. Malaysia, Japan and India).
Add in the Chinese constraints on foreign cloud services (i.e. Oracle's primary sales focus right now) and it's just not a great country for them.
Maybe their recent deal with Tencent will change that, but don't pretend it's all milk and honey right now.
Purchase price + renovations + boiler + fixtures/fittings + insurance + mortgage interest comes to about 70% of the amount I'd have spent on rent in the same period.
Except that instead of saving 30%, I've saved that and also now own a house.
ROI looks pretty fucking amazing to me, even disregarding the change in house price.
Fine. They can live as I did in my early 20s then. No mobile phone, never go to a coffee shop, no car, a meal out once a quarter, few luxuries but still no savings, sharing a rented house with three female ballet dancers.
Forgive my lack of sympathy for young people, I can see plenty of options available to them.
Which subject? Commercial exploitation of music, use of penetration tools to hack websites or the continued illegal Israeli occupation and subjugation of Palestine?
Why he was present there is due to illegal actions of others but doesn't excuse his own inability to make good judgements.
If he's feeling crazy about it then good. If he doesn't get prosecuted then I hope he goes too fucking crazy to stay in his job because right now he's a danger to the people of Wichita.
Require those wanting military grade weapons to serve in the military/continue to do so. Including deployment in foreign countries to spread the burden on our real soldiers.
Just go one step further. Since the right to bear arms is linked to militia, just make it law that any owner of a firearm can be deployed on military duty.
Then ship a few hundred a year to whereever it is the US military are playing at war and put them on the front line.

Who the fuck murdered Alfie Evans?

You do realise Siebel predates HTML5 and php?
Not that you can buy it any more, Oracle stopped selling shit branded Siebel years ago.
even domesticated cats SIMPLY ENJOY KILLING THINGS
I disagree strongly with that.
Domesticated cats like eating things, and sometimes want to eat live prey they've caught.
What they really like is playing with things. My cats get distraught when they kill a mouse, because it means it'll no longer play with them.
These people from Google are clearly *reducing* the number of cats running around outside
Not if they're fucking feeding them.
They can't legally evict him that way but he can no longer claim that they hadn't told him to leave.
It's a sensible first step prior to initiating actual eviction processes.

"Don't judge me" made me laugh.
Don't judge me, I only stole $4m for the giggles.
Which subject? Commercial exploitation of music, use of penetration tools to hack websites or the continued illegal Israeli occupation and subjugation of Palestine?
Maybe because the police man murdered someone.
Why he was present there is due to illegal actions of others but doesn't excuse his own inability to make good judgements.
If he's feeling crazy about it then good. If he doesn't get prosecuted then I hope he goes too fucking crazy to stay in his job because right now he's a danger to the people of Wichita.
Allegedly Gaskill (the intended victim) contacted the person that actually made the call and told them to delete all of the chat logs involved.
That demand to delete evidence relating to a crime is being treated as an attempt to obstruct the course of justice, which is itself illegal.
On a per-police-interaction basis black americans are less likely to be shot by the police than white americans.
You want to reduce deaths of black people to the police, focus on reducing the need for police interactions with them.

If I'd stopped reading at that obvious warning sign I could've been saved from the blatant stupidity that followed.
it's the cops job to enforce the law.
Which law was being enforced by shooting an unarmed innocent man in his own front door?
I'm quite happy for the police officer to receive counselling while he's in prison.
That's a terrible analogy. Fried eggs are awesome.
For Amazon Prime I use my TV.
75% of internet traffic may be video but that doesn't mean 75% of web use is.
Edge greatly boosts battery life by never being fucking run.
Is slashdot really the place to share your deepest fantasies?
Games can be a part of the problem, in desensitizing undeveloped minds and training them towards violence.
Games can be part of the solution, in providing harmless outlets for stress relief, escapism from difficult situations and creative outlets.
The reality is that angry people rejected by society are going to respond. Want to end school shootings? Focus on reducing male suicide.
It was sarcasm, but probably lost you because it became sardonic too.

You don't need to buy back murder weapons. The police are authorised and even expected to confiscate them and hold them as evidence.
