Here in America, the government must have the consent of the governed, and the governed have spoken against this type of intrusive overbearing law enforcement for profit. Take your authoritarian bullshit to China where it belongs.
One of them would be the Borg...
The Borg (sounds Swedish) didn't see themselves as evil or believe that their mission was unjust. They wanted to add other civilizations to their own, making both sides better. The Borg did not have the problems most civilizations have such as crime, starvation, jealousy, etc. Who wouldn't want that?
Another good example is the Emperor...
The Emperor wanted to bring order to a chaotic galaxy. Sometimes, the only way is with an iron fist.
The Reapers is one more...
Reapers were changed against their will. What they became was not their fault.
Any position can change depending on the perspective. People... or cyborgs... don't see themselves as evil They are doing what they think is best, twisted as it may be.
Because that is all that matters right? 'Merica. And really only the East Coast of 'Merica.
Because that was the claim of various alarmist predictions about anthropogenic climate change made after Katrina. If they've made predictions about Asia, I hadn't heard them.
(For those keeping score, since 2005, the year of Katrina, the number of major hurricanes hitting the US mainland stands at zero. No doubt it will go up again at some point, and anthropogenic climate change will be blamed).
I think you are missing the point. Global Warming is the reason we have not been seeing as many hurricanes.
If it rains, it's global warming. If it doesn't rain, it's severe global warming.
These are the type of companies that buy BMC products. Bloated and expensive must mean it's better, right?
Why on earth are you traveling with HIPAA regulated data on your laptop? Is that truly necessary?
Only in America can you continue a lawsuit without a plantiff.
Can we just cut France off from the internet already? Let them go back to the 1800s, a century they were never comfortable moving past.
When Comcast-owned MSNBC is pretty much a fulltime Democratic campaign channel, it's easy to get the government to look the other way when Comcast breaks laws.
Pay no mind to Oligonicella, he's just a raving asshole. All of his posts are very similarly sarcastic and condescending.
Sure you can. "Officer, those aren't my drugs". Ever heard of someone being prosecuted for saying this? We would need a full-time "liar's court" to prosecute all the liars.
False reporting is a crime, as in completely falsifying a police report.
The FBI however has much more prosecution power in this regard. They typically throw this charge at someone they would like to indict but don't have anything else on them.
If by meaningful testing you mean "runs on my machine in ideal conditions" then yes, they do meaningful testing.
The professional sports model isn't always the best. Ever heard of the Chicago Cubs and their 100+ years of futility?
There is practically nothing in common between Korea and Japan on one hand, and Iraq on the other hand.
Yeah! We have troops in Korea and Japan. We have none in Iraq. One of these three countries is having problems. Guess which one.
Let's do another analogy:
You buy a crappy house. There are guys paid to keep up the place, but they are doing a crappy job so you fire them. You put a lot of your own money, blood, sweat and tears into fixing the house up. Sure, it's not the greatest house, but it's a whole lot better than it was. However, it will require maintenance to keep it that way until everything is in working order. But, you have to move because the contract at your job is up.
The guy that bought the house hated what you did to it so he does none of the required maintenance. So without him doing maintenance, and the without the guys who used to do the job doing it, the house falls into disrepair. So what does this new owner do? He blamed YOU for firing the guys who used to maintain the place.
But here's the thing I find really disgusting
When Saddam was in power and filling mass graves with the bodies of women and children, you didn't care. Don't know why you didn't care, but you just didn't. Guess you don't like brown people or something. Maybe you thought those mothers with toddlers should have fought back against the guys putting bullets into the backs of their heads. Fortunately, someone did care and put a stop to that shit. Then the next guy took over America.
Now, we have guys running through the country, cutting the heads off of women, and children, and, again, you don't care. You think it's more important to blame Bush than it is to actually fix the problem that wasn't a problem when Obama took office. Frankly, I think you are happy to see the atrocities over there because it gives you an excuse to hate Bush even more. Even though you know that Obama is the one responsible for pulling our troops out, you won't let yourself believe it because you love hating Bush more than you care about lives of brown infants.
Stellar rays prove fibbing never pays. Embezzlement is another matter.
