Comment Re:comment on: post - Bill Nye: Climate Change Den (Score 1) 837

I forgot to add one important fact: The vaunted millenial-aged cohort that 'unquestionably' believes in AGW according to Bill Nye and his supporters were probably the ones that voted in the Canadian federal Liberal party and their leader Justin Trudeldumb because he promised to legally legitimize marijuana use in Canada. What a reason to suddenly get interested in politics. Who cares that his policies will likely bankrupt Canada! Naive fools abound.

Comment comment on: post - Bill Nye: Climate Change Denial (Score 1) 837

Bill Nye and the Numbskull who posted a comment about his views on April 7th, 2016, raised my ire and demanded a response. There are very few people who hold the view that there is no such thing as climate change. There are plenty, however, unlike Nye and his ilk, who are un-fanatical enough to see, realize, admit, that it is not only possible, but essential,. to realize that it is not human causation (sometimes called anthropomorphic Global Warming (AGW) causing climate change. Such claims are non-scientific, foolish and, may I say it, stupid. The Global Warming Cabal has attempted to and, has fairly successfully, yelled down, victimized, pilloried and witch-hunted anyone who does not swallow the cool-aid of AGW. There are not only many, many, scientists, but many others as well, who are, for some reason, able to see that the AGW hypothesis is goofy and tragically flawed. These people, of whom I am one, for some reason have managed to maintain their sanity in an insane world. Remember the devastation caused to many fellow humans by the thoroughly discredited ideas and proponents of society being devastated by witchcraft and devil worship, or by Satanically-influenced child abuse, or even by an epidemic of deadly cholesterol caused by eating eggs, or by 'recovered' memories of long past sexual exploitation. AGW and these other witch hunts are on a par, but the longest lasting delusion of AGW wins the anti-prize.

Comment Anonymous Behaving Like Fascist Thugs (Score 1) 741

Whether or not one supports or likes Donald Trump, the announced efforts and intentions of the Anonymous Collective is reminiscent of the Brownshirts of the German Nazi party. While one might laugh at or enjoy their attacks upon government anti-democratic and authoritarian agencies and programs like the spying of the NSA and similar despicable apparati, it is quite another thing to silence Trump's open and above-board bid for the Republican nomination. Trump is engaged in part of the democratic process, which ought to be protected by the US constitution. To attempt to silence him and interfere with his democratic rights and the public's right to hear him is at the very least similar to if not on a par with the fascist intimidation tactics of Hitler's Brownshirts in 1930's Germany. This kind of behavior is no better than that of the NSA. These irresponsible and stupid children (or highly immature adults) don't seem to realize or understand that. What a crazy society we live in.

Comment Trump criticized for using twitter aggressively (Score 1) 532

Ah, the hypocrisy. One of the things that appeals to many people about Trump is his refusal to play "the game" of nicey-nicey. He says what he thinks and he hits hard. Isn't that what the twits of Twitter do? They try to flame the people they target into cinders: no sophistication, no nuances, no excuses, no concern for feelings, no appreciation or care about the complexity of the situation. Who cares - just GET the other guy! Trumps behavior mightily offends liberals. To them he is evil incarnate. But wait - don't liberals do the same to those who disagree with them? Merely to doubt the gospel of human-caused global warming is to open yourself to accusations of being in league with the devil. Merely to question the motives and honesty of feminists and their advocation of anti-male policies casts one into the very pit of hell. Merely to say the above means I will be accused by liberals of loving Trump and approving EVERYTHING he says or does. Nothing would be farther from the truth. But when did the truth ever matter?

Comment Block offending Websites (Score 1) 194

Why can't the people who are capable, either for free or for a fee, find and publish the URLs of the websites that use canvas tracking or devise an easier way of avoiding or blocking those websites entirely? If users refused to use such websites, then they might get the message. At any rate, I would appreciate the choice. I hope that this is not too dumb an idea.

Comment Microsoft freezing out other OSes screams monopoly (Score 1) 809

!It looks like I am not the only one who sees a giant red flag here: Microsoft is knowingly and deliberately squeezing or freezing out all OS competition with the pressure it is putting on software companies. This is probably a monopoly violation. The first economic region to deal with this will be Europe and the EU, but even the completely corrupt US governmental system will be forced to recognize what is going on and deal with it. Nice try, Balmer and Gates!

Comment Totalitarianism Rife in Former Democracies (Score 1) 402

Bastards like Harper, Obama, Szarkozy, the British, NZ and Aussie governing pols, etc., have all been emboldened by the excuse of Islamic terrorism to create what they have devoutly wished for at home - totalitarian, fascist-like states under the iron heels of their police, their armies, and the rest of their bureaucrats. There have been so many moves in the direction of totalitarian control and surveillance in the former democracies that the foregoing conclusion is beyond challenge. Don't bother looking to left-wingers for help here. A recently published analysis of the thinking processes of these national socialists describes the 1933 Masters Thesis of the social democrat icon Tommy Douglas wherein he advocated strongly for Eugenics policies, which include forced sterilization of so-called "lesser" humans in order to cleanse the human gene-pool for the future. Eugenics-based policies were implemented in various parts of Canada, and elsewhere in the world, but the most thorough implementation of Eugenics ideas was done by Hitler and the German National Socialists. Both conservatives on the right and social democrats, socialists, communists, on the left and their ilk across the world have shown themselves willing and anxious to destroy democratic institutions and civil liberties in the name of ORDER and CONTROL. Both flavors are contemptuous of personal freedoms and arrogantly believe that they and their bureaucrats are better and more capable than the rest of us, and consequently entitled and duty-bound to govern the "great unwashed" without our sniveling hindrances. The best weapon we have against this onslaught is the Internet, which is precisely why it is constantly under attack everywhere.

Comment vultures await the carcass (Score 1) 777

I have not read the many comments posted on this issue. Why? I don't want to. However, as a lawyer, judge, civil libertarian and humanist, it appalls me that this person can be persecuted and denigrated by the legion of politically correct idiots, who, like vultures hovering over roadkill, are more than happy to victimize him in celebration of their hatred of men. That is all that it is. Is this a society worth saving?

Comment CA App Crt Sanctions Unlimited Phone Searches (Score 1) 367

The recent judgement of the CA App Crt allowing what appears to be unlimited phone searches, if the reports are verified, is another example of the growing Court-approved fascism or totalitarianism in the US and the other so-called democracies. A fair and proper interpretation of US constitutional protections against unwarranted state/police attacks on civil liberties should have resulted in the lower court's judgement being approved, not set aside. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance and awareness. Thanks to Slashdot for reporting stories like this.
