...except when science disagrees with Progressive fixed ideas. Then, suddenly, science is subjective and depends on the biased ideals the scientists don't realize they have. Just look at research on intelligence and culture. A lot of studies simply aren't taking place because the results will be politically unacceptable. But still, progressives tell themselves they're on the side of science. Sad, really.

It would have been great had Batista been replaced with a democratic government. Instead, Cuba got worse. At least Batista was an idealogical blank. Look up what Cuba did to black Africans. It ain't pretty.

If you're the same kind of "UI expert" that screwed up Google Maps on Android, I can safely say we don't need any of that crap and that OSS is doing fine. The problem is that you have a flawed metric for evaluating what's "right" and "wrong".

Have you asked some environmentalists or other leftists if the human race is a good thing that should spread? How about if we just keep the contamination limited to a single planet instead of moving elsewhere to destroy the environment like locusts? If there is even a single microbe on Mars, the entire planet should be off-limits to humans, forever. Including robot probes.

Yes. Yes, you are.

Repeat this until you internalize it: "Just because I think something, or have a certain reaction, does not make it so."

Nope! Nice try, though. They had a uniformed army and faced the British in set-piece battles. They didn't blow up schools and churches and all the other hallmarks of terrorist orgs.

Maybe that's because government *is* evil and will happily crush anyone in its path? Especially in highly left-wing cities like San Francisco, where by default people -especially those who couldn't cut it in real life and resorted to government jobs - *really do* think that companies are evil, evil, evil and want to make profit by throwing babies into wood chippers.

Nope! Nice try, though. They hate us because we put troops in Saudi Arabia after Gulf War I. No government was overthrown, much less a democratic one. Allah doesn't like democracy, the One True Way is in the holy book.

Ah, yes, as soon as I saw this topic I knew someone would be along to blame it all on America.

Can you imagine a world without America? There wouldn't be *any* problems, anywhere. Especially in Mexico, all of whose problems are entirely caused by the "gringos" (foreigners). Amazing, eh? When America blames its problems on foreigners, it's a ruse to divert attention from the real problems...but when Mexico does it it's different. Poor Mexico, so far from God, so close to America.

How about being anti-gun and then being arrested by the FBI for being an illegal gun-runner? Hypocrisy, thy name is liberal.

I thought that the "best and brightest" would go wherever they were needed. Are you telling me that in actual fact they're shallow people who don't want to live outside a small number of metropolises where they can live among people like themselves? Where's the diversity? These people aren't small-minded, and yet here you are telling me otherwise. I don't believe it.

Reactionary Maoists? You've got that backwards...Maoists are Progressives. Look into the tenets of Maoism to find out why it's such a popular mode of political thought in Western universities. It's a living philosophy, about as far from reactionary as you can get.

But with open source, to many eyes all bugs are shallow. The ease of fixing broken parts of the software is one of the main strengths of open source software. Oh, was that all just a gigantic lie? LOL.

The dismissive, sarcastic, "screw you" attitude of the parent post is precisely why I long ago gave up on reporting bugs in open source software. It's just not worth it to deal with aspies who heartily enjoy abusing people who aren't in their "ecosystem". I had hoped that things had changed in the past 10 years, but unfortunately no progress has been made.

Well...why aren't you getting paid for Slashvertisements? Seems like an easy way to make cash on the side. If you're not getting paid then why do you run such free ads? You're just getting used. Seems off to me.
