This religious freedom thing in Indiana is bullshit.
Oh, it totally, is, but after re-reading Carly Fiorina's epic burn, I can't fault her on anything. Give the devil her due, she's actually right. We do business with far worse than the state of Indiana, and in the name of "religious tollerance", we tollerate far worse.
Take Star Trek, for example. It led the way into devices we take for granted.
No, hardworking engineers made the devices possible. As much as I adore star trek, please give credit where credit is due.
Among all the people who read my comment, you're the only person unable to connect the dots, yet I'm the one with problems. Suuure...
your connecting dots that don't exist. I generally believe we call this paranoid schitzophrenia
You adopt the Obama's past platform without taking the effort to understand why he changed nor why you think he was wrong to do so. Your only justification being some childish sense of outrage.
the unlike association argument. Do you like trains running on time? Do you know who else liked the trains running on time. We all know why that didn't work. Please stop using logical fallicies.
No attempt at justifying why your current platform has been disavowed by the man elected president upon it years ago, just trite remarks?
The reason is because he was never serious about it in the first place, and anyone who understood his history knew that he was simply saying things to get elected. Your logic presumes that the current president is an infinite or even good spout of wisdom, which he was not and never was.
If nothing else, it signifies our political system is broken, and the population has no real dirrect effect on policy through election. If president Obama was sincere in his 2008 election promises, the most obvious answer to his "change of heart" is less "logic", something notoriously absent in politics, and more "special intrests demanded it", or "someone made him a deal he couldn't refuse".
I don't understand why you insinuate that political decisions are made with logic? Many are clearly not, given how often science and policy dirrectly clash, but special intrests and policy align.
My latest flash of insight is that you never graduated kindergarten & are jealous of those who have
perhaps you have heard about the old parable about the pot and the kettle?
I can think of one video game, "portal", where both the sole protagonist and antagonist are female.
They also seemed good enough to accept US aid durring the syrian civil war.
Cold hard reality is we support groups like this just as often as we oppose them.
The reason we have a problem with religious nuts is we allow it. Truth is, we tollerate religeious nuts far more than we tollerate secular nuts to the point all would be dissent knows that religeon is the only real path.
Its time to stop treating religeon as special from any other form of ideaology or philosophical creed.
I see that you are a connect the dots deficient person. No surprise there given your kindergarten playground level of reasoning.
No, your just being extremely shitty at explaining your point.
Obama's speeches pre-election were completely in line with what you parroted above. His speeches and above all actions since then have done a complete 180. The difference between Obama pre-election & Obama post-election is that he was made aware of many things that he ignored and discounted the danger of.
I understand this completely. I did not vote for the man either times. I niether said nor implied I did. I see someone is connecting dots that don't exist.
Given that you are continuing to parrot the old, ignorant Obama, I had assumed that it was because you felt that you were more intelligent than he is. I see now that you are just a poor ideological parrot incapable of learning from others.
A politician goes back on his word and now is being described as a flash of insight? sweet shit. Did you graduate kingergarten?
Somewhere, somehow your logic train de-railed, you need to fix this.
What they are doing is looking for dissent, and moonlighting for private companies. 60% of all surivailence is economic according to Snowden. They're spying on your business for your competitors who are paying moonlighting NSA agents.
They are spying on your kids who fed up with the system. They're making up terrorist plots to bust, with intellegence being used to help frame people
They looking for complainers, and harrassing activists. They are not preventing you, or your loved ones from dying horribly. You are more likely to die at their hands, or have you or your loved one have their life destroyed at by them then you are having them protect said lives.
I don't feel any fucking safer, in fact I feel less safe.
She made an important scientific breakthrough.
In my opinion, thats very sexy. 10/10, five stars.
Even if a programmer is harmful, it does not make his work inherently harmful.
I urge everyone to close all real name accounts and halt all activity on facebook not directly related to agitation of political ideas immediately. All cordination of facebook activities from this point on should be cordinated off site.
Now, if AMD linux drivers could really not suck, that would be awesome.
Because their drivers are crappy. Their FOSS driver is crappy and their propiertary driver is crappy. They are really putting the cart before the horse here. What they really need to do, is just a massive bug hunt with their drivers. Right now they are lacking.
Oh, and its hurting sales, because people won't buy AMD cards because they are known to be buggy. Even after they fix them, its going to take a lot of them to be seen as reliable.
unpopular as it is, they can always raise taxes. Simply just take our fucking money without having Officer Hardon come fuck with us, or generate criminal records and the otherwise unwarranted search of persons and property.
