  1. Or... don't stop a law that saves lives simply do to outliers. Any reason that we allow a person to be declared as not alive can apply to babies as well.

    But keep saying science because that sounds smart

  2. Republicans are not against people being paid livable wages but the person I responded to first thinks that since no law is in effect forcing companies to do this, they are against livable wages.

    Yet for abortion, you seem to think being against laws stopping it doesn't make you for abortion

  3. Then why not at least outlaw third trimester abortions where the baby has a heartbeat.

    You are a collection of cells. Killing you is murder. "Collection of cells" really describes too many things to be useful in this discussion. If you don't want to call it a baby, call it a fetus. That would at least be relevant

  4. 3rd trimester is a baby. We are all collections of cells

  5. Bullshit. I'm a democrat and I've never met a democrat that is "for abortion". It is a ridiculous statement. Abortion is a terrible choice for a women to have to make, but we believe that it is her choice.

    That would be for abortion

    I find it absurd that republicans want to force people to have babies and don't want to provide health care, food, education or an living wage for the parents.

    The rebulicans are not directly hiring many people so I'm not sure how they are denying a living wage for parents? Or are you one of those that think every job that employees someone should be required to support a family if they decide to hire someone?

    And the "kill a baby" because they are expense argument is insane.

  6. Re:Ha! hah ah hahahahahhahahaha ha ha ha on Trump Proposes Rejoining Trans-Pacific Partnership (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah - people still don't understand that Trump does actually negotiate. He just forces us to start from a position of strength.

    It use to annoy me that the reblicans would open with compromises already in place and the democrats would ask for exactly what they wanted - if not more. This gave the democrats room to compromise without looking too weak and the reblicans no room to compromise without totally selling out.

    Trump starts on the extreme (deport everyone here illegally!) then works his way to a middle ground (even if that middle ground is more "extreme" than what we are use to. He even offer a pathway to citizenship last time around but the democrats are used to getting so much more of what they want (or crushing a bill, getting nothing but blaming republicans) that they have no idea how to deal with this new tactic.

  7. Besides abortions - which the democrats are the ones for - what genocide are you talking about? And that doesn't leave mass graves since the bodies are either sold or disposed of as "medical waste".

  8. Re:Exactly, I deleted mine and it's still there on Nearly 1 In 10 Americans Have Deleted Their Facebook Account Over Privacy Concerns, Survey Claims (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    What do you mean by that? Where you expecting Facebook to delete other people's pictures that had you tagged in them and delete every time someone mentioned your name?

    As far as people deleting their profiles... they get 10 days to change their minds so we'll see. And I wouldn't be surprised if allot of those 1 and 10 are just saying they did because they didn't want to look stupid on a survey.

    That said, apparently allot of Hillary supporters are easily swayed by facebook posts if that was enough to make them vote Trump or not vote at all.

    It does help explain why Netflix has a different library available in different countries. I had always read that it is due to solely US Hollywood greed

    I was a bit annoyed by that description as well

    A military want's to weaponized something? Crazy?

  12. So other countries don't get that message when browsing to google sites?

    I'm waiting for the Trump for prison troll post.

    All these threads are just filled with trash. We notice it more on articles that we are interested in.

    There is still a lot of good comments and it helps pass the time

    Why would you even respond to such an obvious troll?

    It's a shame how you feel about jury duty. You'd rather have professional jurors? Or just binding arbitration?

  16. Well, there is no way of saying that Mozilla has a monopoly over anything.

    Every time I log or go to google search or anything else google related, I am told I'll have better service or experience using their browser is an example of them leveraging their monopoly for alternative products

    How could he forget that? That is not the point you made on your original post.

  18. We really need different analogies or references for "just following orders." I get what you are saying but comparing this to attempted genocide is a disservice.

    Users will not be leaving facebook at any notable impact. You overestimate how much the average user cares about this stuff or even knows about it

    Water companies (at least in San Antonio) are allowed to charge different rates if you use more water than allotted for typical usage. They define typical usage.

  21. Probably because the Obama campaign didn't use said tools to spread propaganda and blatant lies. And it wasn't a superPAC hiding the financial backing, meaning that if they got caught in a lie, it'd lead right back to them. It's a great argument for overturning Citizens United.

    He did but they were lies you believe so they don't seem like lies and he most definitely did use SuperPACs

  22. Being that they have the First Amendment behind them, it gives them additional freedom to dig further then what Facebook may be able to legally do.

    The first amendment does not give journalists access to private companies' data.

    Wow - how are you editing your posts?

    Also, not much reason to update it so often. It usually does fluxuate a bit during the day

  24. You can't be that dense? Just because there are some pro-privacy minority folks on both sides does not mean that either party is pro-privacy. They are tokens to give the rest of the parties cover.

    Statements like yours really shows mindless partisanship.

    I need to provide evidence that nothing will happen ever now that NN is gone. Provide evidence that nothing would have ever happened if NN had continued? Such as cell phone companies prioritizing certain services (oh wait - that happened during NN)
