Oh, no, no, of course not. I'm SURE that no leftists would ever DREAM of doing something similar.

please encourage them to leave my country and immigrate to yours.

Hell, no - he wants to encourage the welfare leeches to leave his country and immigrate to yours so he's the only welfare leech left that everybody else has to support.

Nice - thank you for that. Not that research and empirical evidence has ever meant anything to the left, though. Be strong in the face of downmods.

Democrats are way ahead of you. They're choosing to support policies that are failing miserably in Europe (and everywhere else).

Score: -1, Accurate, insightful, but non-left-wing point

Yes, I'm SURE the left-wing isn't doing anything of the sort. I'm SURE that the ridiculous left-wing slant that Digg displays IN SPITE OF Alternet's supposed (and interestingly unprovable) cheating is just due to the fact that everybody in the world except for me and Rush Limbaugh has become a raving Marxist.

Yeah! The abnormal deserve to rot in PMITA prison for the rest of their lives!

For God's sake, who cares about innocents in jail! Think OF THE CHILDREN!!!!

doesn't mean it is right or socially acceptable.

And if you do something non-socially acceptable, you deserve to rot in PMITA prison for the rest of your life.

"slippery slope" isn't a fallacy - if you look up the definition of "fallacy" you'll understand that calling "slippery slope reasoning" a "fallacy" doesn't even make sense. Protip - just because it's in wikipedia doesn't mean it's true.

Actually that ought to be: s/\([.?]\) /\1 /g Since you don't want to lose the "." or the "?". You also need to do: s/\([.?]["']\) /\1 /g

Actually, I recently signed a publishing deal, and the publisher rejected my initial submissions because I was typing two spaces after the sentence (as that's the way I was taught to do it in school). It was a major PITA to go back and change, too, since the book includes code samples, so I couldn't just do a "s/ / /g".

No, let's wait until it is really bad and too late to do anything about it

Yeah, tell me about it. It would be silly to sit around and wait until a law actually served a useful purpose before you passed it.
