Comment Re: Greatest president of modern times (Score 1) 133

A significant number of Jews insist that their ethnicity and their faith cannot be separated, which is only true to the extent that some of their sects refuse to consider you to be a Jew unless your mother is a certified Jew — another practice which both limits the growth of their faith, and alienates them from everyone else. It's not universal, but it's universally harmful, because the people who do this insist with their fundamentalist fervor that it's the only valid way to be a Jew.

You don't understand Judaism. They don't proselytize. They don't expect people to convert. They just want to be themselves. At the same time, they believe all people have the capacity within them for righteousness, and they believe that foreigners living among them should be treated as one of them. It's in the torah:

You've obviously never noticed how no Jewish missionaries go around preaching damnation at one of your fecophilia conventions. And the reason they never knock at your door to try to convert you isn't because of the foul odor of your presence, as is the case with other missionaries, rather it's just something they don't do at all. The closest they have to missionaries only ever visit existing Jews to encourage them to stick to their faith. If you came to them, they'd ask you to take a bath first.

Rather than re-write the law, take a look at who it applies to. It should only apply to the internet service providers, be it Comcast, Charter, Cox, FIOS, or mobile internet carriers like Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T.

Fuck that, you're effectively turning ISPs into publishers. If you want ISPs to decide to pick winners and losers on internet, this is your best way of doing so. "Well, we think Netflix's content might promote violence, unless they pay us a fee to also have us determine which content our customers have access to, lest we get sued."

Bad CEOs never get punished. They constantly get re-hired. Even after disaster.

As do most people. Look how many times narcc has been fired for harassing a patron and getting his employer sued. And yet he's still somewhere, out there, telling a caller why they shouldn't cancel their cable subscription.

Even after criminal disaster. No one goes to jail. Ever.

Elizabeth Holmes must have missed the memo.

You started off so well and yet devolved right into the same douchbaggery of the OP.

When have I NOT done that? I'm always willing to get my hands dirty and beat people at their own game.

Congrats, you're now no better.

What on earth would I gain by being better? I don't build egos, I tear them down. I am openly troll. I punch down. When I am gone, they must call me Shaitan.

You don't know their age, maybe you just did a colossal self own.

I don't need to know his age. All I need to know is that he's an evangelical iFan who expressed great anger over Apple being made to switch to usb-c. There you have a nonscientific data point, aka anecdote, that things his age are more likely to be evangelical iFans. This is more than sufficient for beating him at his own game.

Rather than grouping people together why not call out stupid individuals for being stupid individuals.

Why are you asking me this? Ask him. It's his game, he made that rule.

I don't like this legislation any more than anybody else, but...seriously? Attacking a guy over his age?

For what it's worth, I am glad about the fact that the 9th circuit justices, some of whom are much older than 70, upheld the repeal of your precious apple tax. It's a good thing nobody your age is hearing cases like that, lest they might be douchebags like you who want to allow companies like Apple do whatever the fuck they want as at that age, they're less likely to be in bed with apple executives, complete with 12 inch apple logo tramp stamps.

The great thing about section 230, is slashdot doesn't have to censor posts like mine from douchebags your age who love to file SLAPP lawsuits.

Look at that chart again. It's not per-capita, it's per 10k government employees, which doesn't really mean a lot, particularly considering California has more government employees per capita. Besides, I don't even care what color a state is. Look at what I quoted from retardedsilvergun.

If you're bringing any of this into a forum that is exclusively about programming, then 100% you're doing it wrong. I don't care whether you are in favor of it or entirely against it.

Sites like this it's fine, because this site explicitly includes such topics. This is why I openly shit on rsilvergun and drinkypoop here, even though IRL I really have nothing to say to communofascists like them.
