    yes

    and obviously it's ignorant

    americans are feeding crony financial parasites and getting nothing in return "because capitalism" when it's not capitalism at all

    and never can be capitalism: capitalism is pretty wonderful but only works in certain economic sectors. it's not magic unicorn farts you sprinkle on anything and then everything is fixed because magic, which is unfortunately the extent of many americans' understanding of capitalism

    like you see with trump in the usa

    and, like trump, it's financially and politically retarded

    scotland will leave, and northern ireland may, and britain will suffer a number of financial costs it has to pay now

    so now britain is significantly poorer and weaker

    all because some old morons don't like immigrants

    the real issue is why these people are so angry, and the obvious answer is they feel poor while they perceive immigrants as coddled

    and they are poor... because of plutocratic abuses, not immigrants

    plutocratic abuses the political *left* has answers to

    but the old morons reject the left for various stupid and propagandistic reasons

    like americans rejecting universal healthcare, even though it's far cheaper and equal or higher quality. because "capitalism." when it's just cronyism

    old poor morons like plutocrats to have gold toilets i guess, and are too fucking stupid to see how or why that's all their uneducated opinions lead to

  7. Re:punishment versus rehabilitation on Japanese Court Demands 'Right To Be Forgotten' For Sex Offender (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    I think that if you're 20 and you had sex with a 17 year old, or if you took a piss in some bushes near a playground, you're innocent. Your "crime" is being dumb, and you shouldn't be punished at all, at least any more than a severe reprimand. And you certainly shouldn't have some scarlet letter hanging over your head your whole life.

    At the same time, if you're 28 and you actively sought to have sex with an 8 year old, you are dealing with someone with a deeply psychologically rooted paraphilia that is not going to go away upon the completion of the punishment for your crime. You really should go on a list, or be an outcast, because you are a high risk of re-offending.

    The problem is with people say "you go on a list" and the rest of us think about the adult who had sex with the 17 year old.

    Or the problem is with people who say "you should have your record cleared and forgotten" and the rest of us think about the adult who had sex with the 8 year old.

    Before anyone says anything, you have to define your terminology well, or it will be taken the wrong way. We start by qualifying underage sex crimes in terms of legality such that sex with the 17 year old is VERY different than sex with the 8 year old.

    you catch murderers and hitmen by

    1.the police answering the ads of "hitmen" (morons, but so are most ISIS supporters)

    2. police posing as hitmen and picking up the losers that contract for their services

    you can do the same with ISIS

    1. answer real ISIS broadcasters with fake supporters who proceed to sabotage operations and outreach in all sorts of ways

    2. pose as ISIS and hoover up the social retards who answer the call

    but you can only do this if the idiots operate out in the open

    drive them underground and you can still do it, like with child porn douchebags. but you've made the job harder and some sympathizers go uncaught

  19. there should be many easy fail safes on Experts Have No Confidence That We Can Protect Cars and Streets From Hackers (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    input or output from any part of the system should conform to narrow parameters, or the entire communication is disregarded, and the fail safe implemented. so falling back to the fail safe should be frequent, not rare and alarming. it could be a hack, it could also just be network or equipment issues, either way

    for example, the data: distance to car in front of you

    the data should be of rigorously correct format, received in the correct and expected small time frame, and the source must be locked to certain trust indicators (which would be another entire laundry list of overlapping qualifications)

    if there is any failure, no matter how slight, the data should be considered tainted and incorrect, and back up redundant systems (lidar, whatever) or even fail over to manual control should be implemented

    drinking and driving is never acceptable

    if you're insulting people in the south and saying most of them are fine with that (seems rather prejudicial and self-serving to your own shitty attitude), then you will simply reap many more pointless traffic deaths

    and therefore tell the rest of the country to avoid an area populated with such morons. and then after enough morons like yourself are dead, your children and grandchildren will pass better laws and have better attitudes. and the "culture" you defend will die, as much of bad and ignorant "culture" in the south has died and should die and will die. as it is with the north as well: everything changes, and no place is squeaky clean

    that's not uptight. that's responsible. freedom is never about being free to be irresponsible. nowhere, not logically possible, no matter the lame weak "culture" argument

    culture is about cheap plastic beads getting women to show their tits. culture is never about excusing the defilement of other people's freedom by putting their lives in danger

    oh sure, someone like yourself will try. and only thereby slander the culture you are supposedly defending. the only question then is why you cheapen your own culture

    there is never an excuse for risking the lives of others by drinking and driving. none. never. not even the lame excuse you articulate, which boils down to insulting cheapening and hating your own people
