Absolutely disagree. What we need to do is get money out of politics, and there are multiple ways of going about that before we have to resort to bloodshed. Check out wolf-pac.com, rootstrikers.org, or movetoamend.org. Give those guys your time, your money or both, and save the bloodshed for a situation where we have no other choice. As it stands, we will do more harm then good if we turn to violence. We can still solve the problems plaguing our nation through peaceful means, and it's up to all of us to lend a hand.

He just announced that he wants to sue journalists who criticize him. He despises freedom of the press and has no problem with using the law to silence critics, which is a defining hallmark of fascists like Trump.

I am proud to call myself intolerant of fascist values. Not all "values" are equally valid, and I'm nauseated to see people like you stepping up to defend American fascism as if it's just a "different set of values". Trump is toxic to the values my nation was founded upon, and his supporters are as bad or worse.

No, I don't. Vote Sanders.

In the exact same sense that you can choose to pay protection money to the mob, or have your shins bashed in with a baseball bat. It is your choice, not something Vinny did to you.

I first started coming to Slashdot because this site had some good articles about video games. I might not be an expert sysadmin, I'm a little bit fuzzy about the difference between Vi and Emacs, but I know a thing or two about the video games. Given all that we currently know about both consoles, I'd recommend the PS4. Most multiplatform releases are available on the PS4, and there are a number of upcoming impressive exclusives on the PS4 that aren't available on the Xbox One. In terms of hardware, the two consoles are roughly equal. Last gen, I would have recommended the 360 over the PS3, but this time the PS4 clearly has the edge.

Of course, if we broaden our options beyond the PS4 and XBONE, I'd recommend the Wii U. Triple-A games are a load of bullshit these days. I despise the money grubbing behaviors in the AAA industry. I hate seeing games released in a broken state, with large portions of the core experience carved out as DLC in order to nickle and dime the customer. Nintendo, on the other hand, releases games that are extremely high-quality and then releases DLC in the form of mini-expansions, which is what DLC should have been all along. So if you really like games and don't like bullshit, pick up a Wii U or 3DS instead of a PS4 or XBONE.

I couldn't help but notice that you didn't address the comments by Ted Cruz and the fact that multiple candidates attended a "kill the gays" conference. This would imply that you're well aware of these facts, and wanted to draw attention away from them by focusing on another part of my post. Assuming that's the case, I'm asking you now to put aside the partisan vitriol and just stop to think about that for a moment. Those facts alone are fucked up. Really, really fucked up. Something has gone very wrong in this country, and it scares the hell out of me. I want to believe that you care about our nation as much as I do, and I want to believe that you can put aside past loyalties for the good of your country. This isn't a game, and it doesn't get any more serious than this. The right has taken a very dark turn, and we need people on the right to have the courage to pull us back before things go too far.

You are living in denial. Things are getting out of hand in this country, and instead of trying to deny it, you need to take a hard look at the facts of the situation. Just the other day Ted Cruz suggested that we only allow Christians into this country. Multiple Republican candidates just visited a big conference held by some nut who thinks we should execute gay and lesbian Americans. Donald Trump has endorsed setting up a database of Muslims, and there are multiple instances of Trump supporters violently attacking Hispanic Americans. And those are just a few example of right-wing extremism! Don't you see where this is all headed? Can you not understand how dire the situation is becoming? Fascism is already here, and it's not coming from the left.

People who violate the rights of other people should be watched to prevent them from doing harm. People who have not done any harm and do not threaten others with harm should not be watched, if only because doing so would violate their privacy. This isn't complicated, and I'll thank you not to muddy the waters with this strawman you've constructed

I have not seen any Democrats proposing anything that even comes close to the things coming out of the Republican party. From the Republicans we see religious tests, attempts to deny rights to specific religions, and now a national registry of Muslims of the exact same sort that Hitler used against the Jews. It's very fashionable to pretend that "both sides are equally as bad", but we need to take a long, hard look at the reality of the situation. And it's only one side of the American political spectrum that's pushing for all-out fascism.

For once, this is the time and place to come out and say it. The conservatives in this country, represented here by Republican front-runner Donald Trump, are following in the footsteps of Adolf Hitler. All you need to do is look at the Republican primary to see that fascism is here, it's wrapped in the flag, and it's carrying a cross.

Lt. Commander Data struggled with the intricacies of poker as well.

Yeah, because the Democrats are a bunch of goddamned corporatists. There's big money to be made rooking the public into supporting corporate interests, and those interests support both parties pretty equally. What you rarely, if ever see is actual liberals running astroturfing campaigns, because there aren't billions of dollars to be made in reducing corruption and spreading democratic ideals that benefit everyone rather than just the filthy rich. If you're trying to imply that the left is just as bad as the right, you're either a fool or you've been bought.

Oy vey!

Rarely. This requires a certain amount of cooperation. Bribing the military, perhaps, or fleeing to somewhere "safe" where the mob can't reach you.
