Sarah Palin actually held a political office. I'm not sure if Fiorina was even on a student council.
Yes, but I'm pretty sure Carly can read and write.

What Russia did to Georgia in 2008 is a continuation of what Georgia did to itself in the early nineties
i stopped reading there
russia has no right to invade a sovereign country. do you understand? of course they have a "reason." do you have a functioning brain? can you see through their bullshit?
russia meddled in an *internal* georgian dispute that occurred within the internationally recognized borders of georgia. then it divided the country into a "new" bullshit country abkhazia
is it ok if the usa invades the mexican district of sonora and announces that it is a new country? why can the usa do this? uhhh... drug smuggling. yeah, that's our reason. perfectly good reason, totally understandable, right moron?
what was russia's reaons for invading georgia? guess what: it has no fucking right to invade and divide a sovereign country on those hopped reasons. do you understand what sovereignty is?
can the american fbi go into canada and arrest people? no? why not. can the us army occupy ontario? why not? because canada is a sovereign country, you dumb fuck
why do you think it's perfectly normal and ok for russia to invade and divide it's smaller neighbors? it's not normal. it's not acceptable
no country, anywhere in the world, does what russia did to georgia and ukraine without consequences. not south africa and mozambique. not china and vietnam. not brazil and uruguay. countries do not invade other sovereign countries and that's just normal and fine. do you understand?
if you do, continue speaking on this topic. but if you continue to assert russia invading and dividing georgia and ukraine is "reasonable" then you do not understand what the fuck sovereignty means and are therefore announcing yourself as a complete moron or a propagandized idiot on this topic and you should shut up
if you know your history, the area is ottoman, tatar, lithuanian, polish...
history can be used to justify any ignorant adventurist shit you can devise
what's actually important is the fucking borders of a fucking sovereign nation, and that modern states respect that
you didn't notice the imperial bullshit russia did on georgia in 2008?
russia is doing imperialism 1850 style. it needs to be, and will be, punished for being a stinking pile of destabilizing shit because of insecure nationalism. oh glorious russia has fallen from historical highs, boo hoo. and it will fall further now
they call ukraine "new russia"

i suggest the usa call kamchatka "new alaska"
china can reclaim outer manchuria they lost to russia in the mid 1800s

fuck you russia, imperial bullying douchebag
we should not be doing any space program with these assholes, we should be shutting down programs
What's the demographic of the people running these startups?
On the up side, things will never go to Hell in a handbasket - because they don't know what a "handbasket" is.
yeah, i despise the plutocracy, the abuse of our political system by corporations, how wall street and bankers are allowed to get away with terrible crimes, etc.
but a bank is a fucking completely normal institution we all need. it just needs to be heavily regulated to function fairly
to call all banks evil and and all bankers evil just makes you out to be a complete moron
good luck with not getting robbed once people find out you stuff your money in your mattress
yes, i am familiar with this faulty line of reasoning
the simple response to your logical fallacy is: because grey areas exist doesn't mean black and white don't exist
it might not be possible to draw a hard line on behavior. but there is behavior which is clearly not in a grey area and clearly calls for a judgment against you
this pilot had clear signs of being untrustworthy to fly commercially. it's not fuzzy and unsure
if you don't believe me, wait until a few years when the first verdicts come down in this case. a judge/ jury will decide on his employer/ the govt fucking up. the facts as they appear now show a clear problem that should have precluded him from piloting any plane with people on board
First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you,
then you win.

i will not laugh at you, mr. scary insect politician man
NK puts its citizens in *concentration camps* for crimes, some petty, some political
*three generations* of prisoners
your granddad looked the wrong way at the wrong way
therefore, you are born in and suffer as a malnourished slave
this isn't a *political disagreement* i have, moron, this is me making an observation of extremely gross human rights abuses, that no other country in today's world approaches, save perhaps in the areas controlled by ISIS and Boko Haram. NK goes far, far beyond any cruelty in the USA and Saudi Arabia, or any other real country
the simple fact is you have no fucking clue what you are talking about
and, again, you lack a sense of proportionality and degree
your knowledge on this topic is deficient
and your judgment is wrong in such a way that tends to suggest a general deficiency, off on more than just geopolitics
you should stop talking about this topic unless you like being laughed at by anyone serious and intelligent
The error message says "You have more than one browser window open on the same internet connection," (I didn't) and "to avoid this problem, close your browser and reopen it." I did. No change.
Why do they care how many browser windows are open? On the same Internet connection? Why is this a "problem"? How would closing *your* browser fix the issue, if the other window(s) is/are open on another system sharing your "Internet connection"? (Perhaps you or someone upstream is using some sort of NAT.) And, finally, why do they care what browser you're using simply to logon?
maybe because they don't live in North Korea?
do you know about insect fighting in Taiwan?
you don't?
must be censorship
NK bad is several orders of magnitude worse than most countries in the world.
All countries have problems but to talk about those interchangeably with NK's problems is a farcical level of ignorance or intellectual dishonesty about just how bad it is in NK.
You can't say anything intelligent about your world if you have no sense of proportion and degree.
that doesn't matter
that the problem is hidden does not mean the problem doesn't need to be dealt with
are you saying do nothing and allow such people to continue to pilot?
that's stupid
keeping someone who is mentally ill out of a job with responsibility over human lives has absolutely nothing to do with the holocaust
i agree
so give a financial incentive to self-report. that discretion and confidence will be maintained. that graceful financial transition would be supported. because the company would rather deal with that, much cheaper than a PR fiasco, lawsuits, destroyed equipment, etc
enforce that approach by law even
then you are left with the truly deep in denial types. those who think they can beat their illness, or that continuing in their job is proof they have things under control, until they don't. these are people who might have even been attracted to the job of airplane pilot in the first place, as a proof to themselves they can maintain great responsibility in the face of stress
so the problem becomes one like pedophiles in the priesthood: in some ways, the priesthood attracts well-meaning individuals who think the religious purity will allow them to beat an affliction they know they have. of course, human weakness prevails in the end
or pedophile teachers
or sadistic cops: you know you get a thrill abusing and dominating, so you're attracted to the police force
these are difficult problems
but that doesn't mean we tolerate pedophile priests/ teachers, sadistic police, or mentally ill pilots. it just means it is hard to root them out when they have an incentive to hide
