I see the ACLU as an organization that isn't blind to all constitutional entitlements, and I don't believe they have any responsibility to be that. I see them as particularly interested in civil rights defense for the powerless ag

I think people who clap back like this assume the indigenous groups were able to negotiate with full, symmetrical information and legal leverage. The article reflects history in this regard, suggesting that they did not.

There is a large difference in power and knowledge between these two sides, which is the heart of the ethics argument. The people living on top of the resources may have legally relinquished their rights to it and the intact land it's

Having a conservative politic is a choice. That person probably has a lot of intersecting workplace difficulties that go along with being the type of person who wants to police which bathrooms people use.

I would ask you why is this singled out of an article that covers a large range of ideas. Your mask is now off.

I believe that reliance on the hypothetical arrival of adapters is bad design. Most especially in the case of those adapters relying on a single proprietary connection standard that has the potential to change or deny compatibility in softw

To charge the device while using the audio output? That my mother can continue to use her card swipe reader for her small hair salon? I'm not sure what it's like to have an imagination that cannot conceive even one very common use

This is a mostly incoherent comment; enough so that I can only read into it what your profile statement gives away about your inclinations.

Because the burden on your (so-called) average taxpayer of having a stagnant, debt-crippled workforce is greater and worse to bear in the long term.

It bears repeating that privilege generally sees fair treatment as a step down.

One could say that this engineering degree finally put him into the place where he belonged all these years. It illustrates that there are unfair barriers that prevent people from making themselves and their families happy and healthy. Givi

There is a deep difference of power and control between the average consumer and a multinational food processing corporation. The argument of the burden being on individual responsibility you are trying to make can only be made if the consu

That's fair. I'm just really frustrated by how long this has been going on and the institutional resistance to addressing it for the better.

This is terrorism. Given what we all know based on past events about how the FBI conducts their activities, there is no way any reasonably aware citizen can conduct their life normally after such an encounter. The last discussion thread on

I am almost cynical enough to believe that a modern neoliberal president surrounded by hawkish advisors could be convinced quite easily to personally kill the keeper and retrieve the launch codes. I believe that the hawkish "at any cos

Many would say that it's actually designed to milk the pennies from the federal government by proxy of the student and parent with a significant markup. This is somewhat worse than simply taking from individuals because it implies a sy

I'm strongly with you but it's hardly the last bastion of acceptable racism. It's one of very many we still have. Adequate education in any form or at any age, he kind that is crucial for access to college, is flat out unavai

To be quite honest, "bad government wasting taxpayer money" is more than newsworthy. To your other point, we have in the past seen the media reporting these types of things in incomplete ways for fear of irritating their sources a

I think your own life experiences probably matter a lot with regards to whether some of the white supremacy stuff the bot was repeating is offensive or not a "big deal".

Standing behind the open and casual use of racial slurs isn't advocacy of freedom of speech. It's advocacy of a specific kind of hate speech that is only used when someone intends to vilify and direct hostility towards a marginali

The inclination to take from people of color at the cost of their own existence and then offer little, if anything, in return is the parallel. This has changed little 250 years later in European and American societies because just as before

We've all been waiting for that argument for a while. When are you going to finally reveal it to us?

I got over myself... is it prejudice? Because I'm pretty sure it's prejudicial interpretation of whatever data or anecdote you're making vague reference to.

Sure, and that's fine if you want to torture the meanings of words that way. I don't have any problem with you doing so. I have the same contempt for these people as you do but if we always let off-context quotes, righteous as the

Think of the bigger picture. Is it okay to monetarily starve one of the US remaining prominent scientific bodies because "they can always just charge money for their papers"? Why reward ugly hacks when it's much cheaper and b

I don't think anyone reading your comment is sure of what you mean by vague and substantial. He has explicitly addressed every one of his harshest criticisms thus far in much clearer language than most of us are used to seeing in the m
