Well you said well known but if you can name for me the individual(s) who threw the poor man off the building, I'll just assume it was some goal post moving since locating people who are xian and conservative asking for the death penalty for lgbt folks is rather common... SO....
- Grayson Fritts (Pastor and Detctive)
- Pastor Kevin Swanson (at Ted Cruz political rally)
- Steven Anderson/Faithful Word Baptist Church
- Paul Cameron/Family Research Institute
- Scott Lively/Abiding Truth Ministries
- American Vision (backs the death penalty for practicing homosexuals)
- Chalcedon Foundation (backs the death penalty for practicing homosexuals)
- Pastor Roger Jimenez/Verity Baptist Church
- Major Andrew Craibe/Salvation Army Official

That's just one parsed page of results. Your whole "my side is never wrong" shtick is old and tired. Enjoy.

I remember reading A Tale of Two Cities from these vendors...

It was the best of times, call me Ishmael. Happy families are all alike; my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow.

Go ahead, ask me how Huck Finn gets away from Kurtz in the final showdown between Lennie Small and Big Brother.

Thank you for being deliberately obtuse. They ARE members of a persecuted minority.
They are in an inadequate facility, even the R's in government have pointed out that they're packed to the brim.
Participating in forced labor was NOT a requirement. Get some reading comprehension.
Waiting for execution was NOT a requirement. Again, get some reading comprehension.

My 'retarded definition' comes direct from an assortment of dictionary sites. Feel free to compare it to them.

Of course, as we've seen from your response, your reading comprehension is dog shit.

Oh no, I hurt penandpaper's feelings! So he'll ignore everything that doesn't fit his narrative and build up a strawman to take down. Pull your head out of your ass.

By definition, you mean this one?
"A place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labor or to await mass execution."

Where large numbers of people are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities... Sounds pretty much like we we have down there. Just cause it makes you uncomfortable to call a spade a spade, doesn't mean you get to finger wag and go bury your head in the sand. Those facilities weren't built for this, and policies enacted by the current administration are such that they deliberately contribute to making the situation worse.

When i do get challenges i often have to decode the amiricanism's crosswalk is one which means something else. Yes i vaguely know what it is but what they look like.

Be thankful it's not "pick all the squares with water in them" and it is a picture of a bottle of Bud Light next to what you think is an empty glass, but you can't tell because of the picture quality. Do you click all the squares? Do you click none of them!?

Comment Re: Slashdot wants us to pity 8chan (Score 1) 627

The funny thing is that it's actually freedom of speech that allows businesses to decide freely with whom they will or will not do business.

CloudFlare and Voxility have made a protected expression of opinion by choosing to not work with 8chan or its supporters.

They also have the freedom to associate with whom they wish. They want nothing to do with 8chan.

That's because you're being myopic.

People like you love the whole, "You can kill a person with a truck too!"

Well no shit, any object on the fact of the planet can be used as weapon given enough determination. Then the whole, "A gun is just a tool like a screw driver, that can also kill people!" Well, yeah... Again, see the whole "any object can be a weapon" deal. Now, the big difference is the primary purpose of said tool. A screwdriver screws, a car drives and a gun shoots bullets. If my car breaks down, I can't hop on the double barrel shotgun, drive it to the grocery store and pick up some lettuce.

Yes, blame the person, but don't try to distract from the fact that the firearm made his intent MUCH easier to carry out.

Comment Re:Nutrition Information (Score 1) 245

Well - I'm not sure health conscience people will visit fast food all that often. Their goal seems not to create a healthy burger, just one not made with meat.

No. Their goal is to have something on the menu for that one family member who won't eat meat. That gets the whole family in the door.

And once we get the whole family in the doors... Then we turn the whole family into burgers? Am I missing a crucial step here? I'm so confused, I need a burger.

Make them in the US, no tariffs. Problem Solved.

Am I the only one who is tired of the standard defeatist disposition every time they are facing tariffs? Did it ever occur to them that they have been slapping tariffs on US imports for years, and now they have the audacity to complain when it happens to them?

While we're at it, I want a pony, no wait, a unicorn, that flies!

Did it ever occur to you that it's not a defeatist attitude to simply state reality? Why, we could make EVERYTHING in the United States! First let's just get those rare earth mines going... Oh... Wait... We have one, of those, but not enough to satisfy demand. We could open another one! Oh... wait... It costs at least half a billion dollars to do this... I'm sure you see where this is going. To think we can survive by making anything we are lacking in the US shows a very limited if not childish view of how the world and trade functions. The tariffs aren't helping, if anything for most of the US citizens, they're a huge shoe to the nuts.

After all, it's very easy to win a trade war, if you've never been in one.
