The opportunity for trolling is endless, people looking to smell "strawberries" would instead end up smelling other things... B.O. , farts you name it. I wish the iSmell actually had succeeded, too bad.

"Strong fences make good neighbors" I disagree that internal conflict would become external as you say. I think that the reverse would happen, we could coexist more peacefully as no groups feel controlled or exploited by the other

I know what his name is and how to spell it I just reflexively spell it that way. Why don't you just write that you think I'm stupid rather than hide behind this trivial spelling error comment?

You didn't address anything I said. This comment is just you calling me stupid rather than demonstrating it.

You didn't address my point, but I'll address yours: Could those social, political and racial divisions be addressed by living in different polities?

Again, I would say that relations have not improved regardless of interracial marriages. Public approval has increased likely in lockstep with how functionally illegal it is to not approve.

Oh so Mr. Rodgers winked into existence in 1968? I suspect that instead that he was born much earlier than that, and he lived and grew up in a very different USA than the one you live in now, and even a different USA from the one in which h

Well none of those issues were resolved sadly, IMO it's as bad as it ever was.

Interesting that you don't cite brandishing a knife as unsafe, it's a text to speech voice that's the REAL problem.

SQL vocabulary is better than functional vocabulary as for many people lot of understanding (and actual use) of set manipulation and transformation starts with SQL. Why have one set of terms for code and a different set on the DB? Thats lik

The guy was unstable yes, but he also looked super liberal. It's tough to articulate, but it exists nonetheless, it's like asking what strawberries taste like. Perhaps I can't articulate it but that doesn't mean nobody c

Because they are a money pit, more and more and more money is required. The more resources and infrastructure you build to "help" them simply pulls more of them to you, which then requires more money to maintain and on and on. The

You can't solve the issue of poverty. Poverty is as unsolvable as stupidity, or having people you don't personally get along with in the world. Those aren't solvable problems. Poverty is relative, so there will always be &quo

Homeless people using transit as a shelter is a huge problem, it makes transit undesirable. Also politicians are so milquetoast they won't address the problem for fear of looking like a 'bad guy' when in reality transit was n

Socialism is simply the union of industry and state. We know that church and state is bad, but for some reason industry and state is good? Power corrupts. Thats why you want to limit the power of government, not ALSO give government power o

Please. They are hiding behind their children whom they are using to circumvent the laws by triggering your all too predictable emotional response.

I can guarantee that's because the article is light on insight and heavy on emotionality and will almost certainly seek to tug on the heartstrings as it has no real commentary or insight into the situation. It just wants to show you cr

To be honest I don't know what point you are trying make other than governments don't like people to think for themselves. The gist of your point is that when people hear ideas (that you imply they shouldn't hear) then they c

Please. It is pretty clear that this is not freedom of expression, but merely malicious trolling. And just because there are edge cases doesn't mean that reasonable laws can't be defined. Obviously (but apparently not so obvious):

by ManFromUranus 8y ago
The slippery slope that people don't anticipate, is when government makes rules that allow them to silence people for "good" reasons. As soon as you allow that then you end freedom of expression. Example: Administration A mak

You would inevitably just end up re-implementing a shittier Web with less features and no adoption. A waste of time. In the best case scenario you implement something almost identical to the current web which is only slightly better, and th
