Well this certainly sheds some light on Google's decision to try to force SSL encryption by factoring that into their page ranking algorithm(s). Among the speculation was the idea that it was a way of flipping off the…
I wasn't aware we've had a trial? Yes, testimony matters, it absolutely does. But not the testimony the media shows us. Ascribing legitimacy to The Court of Public Opinion is dangerous.
The police chief gave a brief press conference following the event which was an admitted restatement of the officer's view of what happened, with everything qualified with the word allegedly. Since then his department…
No, but I can blame them for going after headlines instead of reporting responsibly; which they do far too often. I can also blame the people that fall for it every time as well, as they're equally part of the problem.…
The rush to judgement in situations like this is just sickening. And that goes for both sides. No investigation by anyone has revealed anything about either side. I can't figure out what's worse anymore - the media's…
It's easy as long as you're taking everyone's sensitivities into account all the time. My point is that the person that has a problem with what they consider obvious stereotyping that's a problem with discrimination has…
>Like others, I find the title of this thread problematic. I also find your apparent refusal to understand _why_ it is problematic, even more problematic. You could have said parents instead of mom. Think about why you…
(Your Coworkers): Yes I think the moto x is an awesome phone but this is indeed a problem :)
Using a HUD to read/write texts/tweets? It seems like the creators missed all the studies about the dangers of distracted driving. And pilots use HUD's so this must be safe? That would potentially hold water, if the…
CALEA was enacted in 1994, well before the recent issues with the NSA. I don't like what the NSA is doing either, but companies like Sprint are obligated to provide these sorts of things to law enforcement for other…
Your comment is the exact same as PG's - because you don't see it with your own two eyes it must not exist. There are millions of people that are working off of microsoft exchange servers, using websites hosted by…
Yeah, he was right, people that design software no longer had to worry about Microsoft. Except that it's 2014 and Microsoft is still relevant. The techy bubble on the west coast may all be using Mac's but microsoft…
in a sane world murders get 3 chances?
So for drug convictions it's unfair? possession or distribution? what about manufacturing? is the crime for possession change depending on amount? what about the type of drug? i think the way our country approaches the…
Crimes. Plural, not singular. Three strikes laws exist for a reason. Does stealing a wallet justify sitting in jail for life? No. Does getting caught committing your third burglary? Well, that's a much more interesting…
The point of the justice system is to adequately determine punishments for crimes committed. The point of prisons is to provide a place to isolate people from society that have been deemed not fit for society…
Wait, are we actually supposed to get worked up over this? The ACLU so clearly tip toed while writing the descriptions of these cases as to clearly walk a line between lying about the case and giving us the context…
You point out that moderates and independents not participating in primaries gives the extremes more say over the candidates everyone else gets to choose from. For general elections you use the same style argument - the…
I'm glad there is public awareness and debate on the issue, but I find it troubling that there is severe lack of contribution to the debate (can we even call it that at this point?) from the NSA's part. I think it's in…
Pointing out the JTAC's role and its lack of connection to war mongering politicians is not worshiping war.
> However, he doesn't want to continue these programs unless they are constitutional. That's a strong statement, one that I don't believe has any support other than campaign rhetoric (ie: no real support) One only needs…
That's exactly how I felt when reading the question :\
Combined with SCOTUS rulings regarding campaign contributions, PACs, and Super PACs. There's a lot of money behind these ideologies.
If the premiss is that only the ideologues care enough to vote then I don't see how open primaries fixes that. This goes back to the changes that moved the senate elections to public vote as well. I don't see how…
