Dunno about GP, but I like the fact that big, heavily-populated states (California, New York, Texas) don't get to set the agenda for the rest of us.
So really, what you're saying is that your fellow citizens don't know what's best for them and people in states where they don't have shoes or dental care should set the agenda for the rest of us.
Remove the Electoral College, and you have a situation where candidates only need pander to a small handful of states,
You mean a situation where candidates have to pander to people and not empty land. Got it. You definitely believe in the Enlightenment.
Anyone who spends their time worrying about their standing in the protected class Olympics is a fool and probably can't comprehend it.
If the ad said, "No gamers or Republicans", you'd shit on the floor in fury and call for a boycott.
They live their lives with chips on their shoulders and can even look at the absolute poverty in Appalachia and still see "white privilege".
Did U Know? that poverty was going down in Appalachia until they started buying into racist dogwhistles and voting for Republican governance? You can look it up.
I was expecting something a little more dramatic. Maybe an MBA who sold off all his earthly belongings in order to build a Bitcoin mining rig only to be cooked to death, surrounded by overheated GPUs.
There are 2 requirements for war, just as there are 2 requirements for theft. There has to be a person or group with no intention to respect the rights of others, and there have to be (potential) victims.
You left out the third and most important requirement: A group of rich guys looking to profit from conflict.
Ya and we could literally feed dozens of people with the money each crack addict spends on crack daily. We could also feed dozens with the money spent on free needles at safe injection sites daily. We could feed millions with the money that's given out in welfare and ends up getting spent on booze, cigarettes, and lotto tickets.
How many people you think we could feed for the half a trillion dollars we've spent on the F-35?
You've been using them as an excuse to take more and more from the hard working citizens that are doing their best to improve their own lives for a half century, and you never get any closer to solving the problem of poverty.
You've been spending trillions on weapons and we never get any closer to solving the problem of war.
Because a genetically modified plant is still made of the same stuff as any other plant. The proportions of these chemicals in these plants might be different but the fundamental chemistry is unchanged. If the proportions of the chemicals is different then the cause of any health issue is in the chemicals, not the genetics.
You've made a compelling argument for why GMOs should not be protected by intellectual property laws.
We can agree on that.
Think what you want though, that just means more potato chips for me.
You are what you eat. You can have all of my potato chips, friend.
All GMOs actually grown as food crops are, in fact, perfectly healthy
Then they should put a fucking label on it.
No, merely that manufacturers shouldn't be forced to label their foods as containing GMOs. But, of course, GMO-free manufacturers are still free to label their foods that way.
This is authoritarian logic: "Labels should not say what's IN a product, but what's NOT in a product."
You're willing to turn that level of control of your life over to a corporation that would throw a baby off a bridge if it meant a 0.2% jump in stock price.
Of course, new evidence may be discovered tomorrow that upends these conclusions. That's science. But it's really unlikely.
This article is about the food industry covering up the dangers of sugar for 50 years, the same way tobacco covered up the dangers of smoking. So why is it so unlikely to suspect that the chemical industry is doing the same thing with GMOs?
We have a pattern of multinational corporations covering up shit that will kill you and/or ruin the environment. What changed in the past 50 years to make you think that wouldn't be their operative pattern today?
Naw. This type of mispronunciation is typical of an Asian dialect. Not being racist (son's mother is Asian with pronunciation issues). Just realistic.
Could be. Dropping articles is indicative of Asian or Eastern European. The confusion over the English usage of plural case versus adjective is a real Russian/Balkan thing.
And yet, the same people who want to tell us that climate change is a hoax, want us to believe that the "research has shown" that all GMOs are perfectly healthy and that you shouldn't be allowed to know whether or not the food you buy is from GMOs.
The hacker also demanded a ransom in bitcoin, and left a message on the RT website reading "I'm sorry to modify the home page, I'm good hacker, I just want to help you fix these vulnerability."
"I'm good hacker...fix these vulnerability."
His misuse of English is a pretty good indication of where he comes from.
Try picking up a book(or his), it'll do you wonders.
Donald Trump did not write "his" book. It was written by a ghostwriter named Tony Schwartz. Trump admits this. There still isn't any evidence that Trump can write anything but his name.and tweets.

I would prefer if the will of the people had been done.
Or, it could mean that we're ready for an actual democracy, not a pretend one where votes in certain states count for more than votes in others.
He watched a YouTube video on how to do it.

Are you kidding? I'm not about to put my lips on a turkey's ass.
Anyway, I vape my turkeys now.

I tried smoking a turkey, but I couldn't keep it lit.

What time are we eating? I've got a bottle of some good bourbon I can bring.

You should learn how research into food substances works. There's very little that's done without industry input.
Then they should put a fucking label on it.
This is authoritarian logic: "Labels should not say what's IN a product, but what's NOT in a product."

It's all poison.

A majority of American citizens would.

I'm not saying we know exactly where he came from. I'm saying we know one place he didn't come from.

I think Trump may have found his new director of NASA.

If you have any evidence or citation that Donald Trump has ever written anything other than his name or tweets, I invite you to bring it forward here.
Otherwise, we have zero reason to believe that Donald Trump is capable of putting a coherent thought onto paper.
