And no, I don't think they abused their "product" either. They did what they always do--show people things selectively to elicit a response. Usually it's called "advertising." In this case called it "research."
Question, how do you manage to type these shilling/apology post for facebook bent over with your head up your ass?
Yes, and liberals such as myself contend that marriage is a human right. If tolerance means allowing gay individuals to have human rights, then they must have the right to marriage.
When was the last time basic human rights required a license? Driving a car requires a license and most people would consider it not a right but rather a privilege with a specific set or requirements. Both marriage and driving have "age" requirements and marriage used to have very specific test that you had to take (blood tests and record searches).
So tell me again, how is it a basic human right? Can you marry multiple people without first divorcing a spouse? No? That does not sound much like a right to me.
"Sorry, being forced to "tolerate" someone is, for me, functionally indistinct from being forced to approve of them."
Well, then you don't know the definition of "tolerate".
If you approve of something, then you cannot tolerate it because tolerance implies disapproval. It's part of the definition.
tolerate: allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of something that one does not necessarily like or agree with without interference
It's not our fault that you can't read a dictionary, or refuse to accept the meanings of words. Look inward.
I think the person you were responding to knows the actual dictionary definition of tolerance but many liberals who are rabid supporters of the gay community seem to be confusing the word tolerance and acceptance or affirmation. They are quick to call anyone who is not affirming gays as intolerant. I tolerate their existence in society but I do not support specific rights for gays. Their human rights should suffice.
Gravity isn't a theory. Gravity has a theory associated with it. Gravity is a phenomenon. If you want to be all "Science! HERP!" at least learn the nomenclature.
He is trolling. It is a troll on evolution versus intelligent design.
Political Correctness has no place in discussions that are scientific in nature.
Skewing other people's research to fit your agenda is not scientific.
Neither is skewing your own research to fit your agenda. PC has no place in science.
It means you identify as the same gender you were born with. "I'm a man who was born a man and thinks I'm a man" or "I'm a woman who was born a woman and thinks I'm a woman" as opposed to "I'm a woman who was born a woman and thinks I'm a man" or vice-versa.
When I was growing up, there was no term for that other than "normal". When what you describe is the norm, there is no need for a new term because it is assumed that you are that unless if you specify otherwise.
Cisgender, the opposite of transgender.
Sorry, but I don't see the need for a new term for that. How about normal or not gender confused?
No insult intended (seriously) but you were pretty much the only one who thought that.
IIRC there was a joke in the first Michael Bay's Transforms movie along those lines.
I think part of the reason is that it sounds kind of like Japanese and Finnish and Japanese are kind of in the same language group. Not saying there are kissing cousins like the romance languages, but as languages go they seem to be orphans which share a common great grandparent.
Sorry, but Finnish is part of the Uralic group and Finnic subdivision while Japanese is part of the Altaic language family and Japonic subdivision.
...it's the content of one's culture.
If Jesse wants more people with his skin color in the tech industry, he needs to get more of them into the proper culture.
A thug mentality, and victimhood culture, does not succeed. A culture focused on academics, hard work, and personal responsibility does.
Precisely right. I am proud of my niece's accomplishments. She took control of her life and decided to start making healthy life choices.
Skill is a social construct used by the white, heterosexual cis men to keep minorities down!
What the hell does CIS mean?
Very few phones work on both CDMA2000 networks (Verizon and Sprint) and GSM networks (AT&T and T-Mobile), and they're hard to find in U.S. stores. Mail order doesn't let you hold the phone and get a feel for its size, weight, screen, and buttons before you buy.
What decade are you living in? Most recent phones have been either phones that work on both AT&T and T-mobile or LTE phones with multiple bands which would work on multiple networks. It is only the retarded Verizon specific phone that are designed to work on their bastardized version of the 700 Mhz band that have less utility on other LTE networks.
They are broken down by college graduates. The article breaks it out into other factors. Fact is., give same experiences and degree, some people are treated differently due to the shade of their skin.
You claim to be a college graduate and yet you seem to have a problem with reading comprehension. The parent is pointing out that there is a difference with regard to cultural background between African Americans who trace their lineage back to the slave trade in America and those who come from the Caribbean or even recent immigrants from various African nations. Africa is a continent, not a country. The same goes for Europe. We Europeans are not a large homogeneous group with the same culture and attitudes.
But give free updates for iOS?
Apple does not charge for OS X anymore. The last update was free and so is this one.
Would an advanced race actually do something so illogical?
In what other ways are we assuming alien life is like us?
Do you think their shit don't stink? Everybody poops. That is pollution.
Are you saying that wealthy people who do not want to have kids are morally obligated to have them anyway?
Perhaps they should have to pay a special tax if they choose to not have children in order to fund the hospitals and other infrastructure needed to support their life later in life. Insurance does not cover building the hospitals.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
