Comment Re:First amendment only applies to our friends (Score 1) 824

The ability of people to "handle" the simplifying of the issue down to the two ideas you have described has no bearing of the truth of those statements. I firmly believe that allowing gays to marry is supporting human rights, and attempting to deny it is bigotry. Whether people can "handle" that or not has no bearing on it's truth.

But it is a reasonable question. However, he's already answered it:

"McAfee, 68, was named by police in Belize as a person of interest in the Nov. 11, 2012, shooting of Gregory Faull, but he fled the small Central American country before he could be questioned.

McAfee denies involvement in the death of Faull, an Orlando contractor and restaurant owner. But he told Reuters in a telephone interview he would not fight a subpoena for deposition in the lawsuit.

'Of course not, because the deposition will be here in America. I've told the police in Belize that I will sit for questioning in any neutral country in the world ... I just will not go to Belize," McAfee said.' ...
The estate is seeking a jury trial and damages in excess of $75,000 on behalf of Faull's 26-year-old daughter."

A question I would have is, would he agree to a jury trial if he's charged either by Belize or the US.

Amusingly, Hitler thought the same. This was one of his primary reasons for believing he would have success in invading Russia...the Soviet experience losing the Winter War. But, as they say, "Past performance does not predict future results." We know how that mistake turned out.

Baloney. The color-blindness of the IT industry is related to the hiring practices, which as many people here have pointed out repeatedly, is skewed white because many tech jobs rarely get black candidates. How, in any way shape or form, is that any fault of the IT industry in any way? If Craig's list has a job opening for a startup in San Francisco, and they interview 100 applicants, none of whom are white, are you seriously saying this is due to some cultural bias of the recruiters or interviewers?

Or is it much more likely that quite simply, few black folks apply for those sorts of positions?

Why is it that posts which actually shed some light on what is actually happening in the situation are always at the bottom of a thread? This appears to be the sad state of affairs on /. Seriously, even if I disagree with someone, I always just scroll to the bottom of a thread to get something even remotely insightful about something.

Fuck you. I said nothing in my post that advocating restricting what people eat. I never said people shouldn't that choice to shop there; hell, even *I* shop there, because they have things that you can't get anywhere else.

That doesn't change the fact that there's a ton of anti-GMO people out there, who, in my opinion, are mostly followers of pseudoscience. "Full disclosure" of psuedo-science is advocating pseudo-science, which is quite often what the anti-GMO people want.

Take your hate-filled rant elsewhere. I live in San Francisco, recycle, ride a bike, eat healthy, vote for Democrats and even hug a tree now and then. You have no idea what you are talking about.
