I'm glad, censorship always ends well. well...really now...wouldn't it be a better world if they weren't allowed in the same hotels as the good people? You wouldn't want them using the same drinking fountains and restrooms would you? Just think...if that sort of thing was allowed, next you know they'd be wanting to date your daughters. LOL... |

"Media monitoring program"? Wouldn't want the press to use their freedom wrong, now, would we?
Too much of anything is bad. Everybody knows that. Too much salt, too much sunlight, too much freedom of the press... I wonder what category the Infowarriors of the TSA and NSA put Infowars.com in. |

Facebook has connections to the CIA. So stop the hypocrisy.
Is this not hypocrisy in itself though? How could a database of nearly every US citizen not be connected to the CIA? I think Zuckerberg is actually quite inspiring - he's clearly still doing FB because he believes the mission otherwise he'd be living on or near a beach right now. And what is FB's mission? Steal your life and your data, get paid to hand it to many agencies, being sure not to discriminate in favor of the NSA, possibly agencies of many countries, and further not discriminate in favor of governments, but also accept payment from many businesses who would like to know us better. Then, just to complete the big happy hand holding circle, get all the illegal mexicans free American citizenship (but don't bother with getting poor illegal Guatemalen and Bolivian refugees free Mexican citizenship). I got a feeling this Zuckerberg is getting played like a card by a card shark. |

My wife loves the pink tools...
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. The UO student is free to buy the more manly-colored ones.
I am on the verge of moving to a non-hate position regarding feminists; if in fact they uniformly advocate pink tool sets, as such would never be touched by men, even at the risk of divorce or separation. Women who proudly bought their pink tools then have no option except to do massive work with their pink tools on their own, with corresponding increases in beer drinking and football game watching time for men. Oh, by the way. Those pink tools in that kit? They look like really poor quality and poorly designed things that will break or slip at the times you need them most. I'll stick with Easterling hammers, Klein screwdrivers, thank you. |

...He suggested that some families may be spending too much on cable television or cell phones, and not enough on health insurance. http://youtu.be/ijQIJAK0NFAHuh. Yep he actually did say that, with that continual little sneer that never seems to go away. Of course, Bush wouldn't have insulted them, and would have held the discussion in fluent Spanish. Hmm.... |

Didnt he call all his users "a bunch of dumb fuckers", Facebook's initial funding came from CIA/NSA backdoor funding organizations such as In-Q-Tel (main finance contributor during the development of google...i mean skynet)
Him not knowing is absolute horseshit, he was down with it all as long as people saw him as the innovative creator and not the spooked backed douche creating a database users would willing fill with their own information.
AN OPEN LETTER TO MARK ZUCKERBURG Shut the fuck up. |

CALIFORNIA is now in the midst of the third year of one of its worst droughts on record. As our planet gradually warms from our rampant burning of fossil fuels, it’s only natural to wonder what role climate change has played in California’s troubles.
The answer is this: At present, the scientific evidence does not support an argument that the drought there is appreciably linked to human-induced climate change.
....
What this line of thought presupposes is that it's "okay to teach" the current political mythology about "man made climate change", but keep all people ignorant about the history of changes in climate. In particular, the west cost of the US, including the northern states there, are highly impacted by the 60-80 year cycle of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. This is basic meteorology. |

I sort of doubt Soros would be anti-Bitcoin, considering how much anti-communist, anti-Totalitarian, and anti-shitty-government currency he is. My guess is he would still be undecided about it at this point.
Soros is not quite the boogie man the far right media paints him to be.
He is definitely anti-not-my-kind-of-communism, anti-not-my-kind-of-totalitarianism and so forth. Obviously, he has worked with Obama to instigate totalitarian control systems in the USA. He has always worked to subvert the US Constitution and has not a bit of respect for it. |

....Of course, this is just a 'maybe' and has not yet be defined as the definite cause.
Oh yeah? Well... Well.. Yah want to match up your maybes against mah maybes? So far everything you've said in support of an anti-GMO position has seemed rather groundless. How about the estimated 1 Billion+ people that GMO has saved the lives of? |

It always amuses me how states that are fiscally irresponsible because they've been throwing too much money towards special interests and buying votes end up taxing the people more to make up for their own idiocy. The day statesmen admit national debt is their fault is the day hell freezes over.
It amuses me how people believe the bullshit over and over, particular the parts about how it's for their own good. |

Yep, normal 40 year old adults who take videos of minors dancing with girls and offer them rides home. Nothin to see here folks.
LOL - you don't think when single 40 year old men drink their inhibitions are lowered and they start flirting with pretty girls? I guess that makes me a cop too.  1. The 40 year old man was filming my 17 year old friend dancing with a girl. My friend is a guy. The camera was was clearly focused on him. 2. Didn't know you flirted with underage girls vod, thanks for sharing. I hereby bequest rights to one Vod, one underage girl flirt for each karma bequest to Dank. |

None of my friends were drunk btw, the cops were however.
Obviously not true - police do not drink while on duty. By contrast, you were probably so messed up you were harassing normal people who were just there to have a good time. I noticed you skipped right over the part about stealing coins and lying about paying them back. Are you hoping that here, where your trust rating is not displayed, people will eventually forget how dishonest you are? Yep, normal 40 year old adults who take videos of minors dancing with girls and offer them rides home. Nothin to see here folks. Hey Dank, you know, this is an interesting story you have, but it ranks fairly low on the scale of important things happening in life. Just saying. |

It is absolutely stunning to see self righteous anger these self styled progressives can build up. I get the opportunity to watch this every day living in western Washington. Interestingly the author claims that even though they have been wronged by the traditional banking system, the "unprivileged" would not want to to try a decentralized form of financial services. Interestingly she leaves out the fact that government meddling in the traditional financial sector, promoting the increase in subprime lending precipitated a major financial crisis. This crisis disproportionately affected those of lower means. Instead she rails against things like payday lenders as if they are somehow comparable to bitcoin. She also conveniently leaves out the presence of bitcoin communities in China and South America. Last time I checked, there were not a bunch of non Hispanic white men in these areas. Including individuals in these communities would unfortunately skew her numbers making her case for bitcoin as racist tool narrative incorrect. All in all, the author is sadly ignorant about bitcoin. Our banks touched off a global financial crisis and they still exist. One bitcoin related service collapses and the author is about to piss herself with glee because thinks it proves her most hated demographic wrong, the white male.
Ultimately, selling victim hood is a big business. In a country such as the US, with a large diverse population, you prop up a group like white males, as some omnipresent boggie man, and then market literature promoting said stance to the rest of people. I can't believe it hasn't been noted yet, but Think Progress is run by the center for american progress action fund. This is the political funding arm of billionaire banker George Soros. If I had to speculate, I would say this is simply a hit piece by a author who knows who pays for her dinner.

It's interesting that Soros is not to anyone's knowledge meddling with bitcoin. Probably doesn't / can't understand it.
Soros = CAP = Tprogress = Hit piece, calling bitcoiners racists, thus Soros = hit piece on bitcoin community with proxy puppet. Yes he is aware of it and wants to discredit it while "he is not to anyone's knowledge meddling with bitcoin"Center for American Progress is a broader base group than Soros, it's where the current White House gangsters basically came from. If we are seeing a shaping up of the beginnings of an orchestrated sentiment here along the lines of the.... "progressive left = bitcoin is evil" ...that is interesting... |

During the panel, Greenwald said the NSA is able to target encrypted communications because so few people actually use encryption tools. That makes the people who are actually trying to stay secure stick out like sore thumbs, thus making it much easier for the agency to focus its efforts on hacking the relatively small bits of encrypted data that they intercept. If more people would use it, then we would all be better off. I don't bother  I think I'll take all the spam that comes in to all my email accounts, encrypt it and send it back out. those NSA circuit breakers gonna blow,... Lets set up a DHT of auto-responders that encrypt the reply and send to another auto-responder at random. Oh wait on a large scale that might take down the entire internet unless we rate limit SMTP. You know, 90% of mail is spam now and the internet has absorbed that. Probably what this means is that it's time for a new email / comm paradimn, one in which there is encryption, some small cost per email, possibly distributed to peer servers eg. 0.01 cent US per email would eliminate spam totally and reward the peer servers. No commercial data mining on emails possible. Fix all problems in one giant leap. Do not focus just on NSA. Remember there is FBI, IRS, and all those of foreign countries, plus the domestic despots of klepto krony capitalism: Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc... |

I don't believe in equality of outcome, but I do believe in equality of opportunity - all children should have equal opportunity to be successful, no matter who their parents were. If you had it all served on a silver platter then yes, you have a duty to make it easier for those who didn't.
Actually, this is false if it is correctly stated. Let me restate it and I would be then interested in your take on it. For the bolded part... "...all children should have equal opportunity to be successful even if it requires the nation to go further into debt..." This is false because it takes from the children of the future to pay to the government-payees of today, SOME of whom are children. Whether the correction is via default, progressive inflation or one time taxes, the correction still occurs and the future children are then impacted. |

Higher taxation to rich doesn't hurt them or stop them from making money.
Still one of wealth tax might be massively problematic to implement. How do you value wealth? Stocks? If people taxed don't have cash on hand they are forced to sell some and if this is wide practise it will affect the markets...
All in all it's structural issue and there is no simple easy solutions in long term...
This idea of a 'one time tax' has been being floated by monetary authorities for a few years as a way to solve the debt problem - it's not just Britain. And that it's a dumb idea doesn't mean they won't do it. They've said they'd do things like the Cyprus haircut again, and they will. It's not about what's good for you, but what's good for them. You are just tax-cattle. And every single time the rhetoric about "sock it to the filty rich" starts up, the ones that get slaughtered are the middle class, because that's where the bulk of the takables is. ....
My grandfather died in 1989 having spent his entire working life at the coal mine. He was such a hard worker his nickname was "the Iron Man" (nothing to do with Stalin BTW). He was an intelligent man who could discuss with you articulately any subject you wished to raise - and this when the dissemination of information via the internet was but a dream.
In his will he left £1k for each of his children (he had 5) and £100 for each of his grandchildren (he had 8 ) - he lived in council accomodation so had no property to call his own.
Whats £5800 in todays money ?
5800 that was wasted, by the government not having scarfed it up. In the eyes of those who want to take everything they can. |

Yes. CAUSE American citizens were consistently told they were not spied on, and the song and dance was about what happened to overseas phone calls, or emails between countries. The "cover story" is what Snowden tore the lid off. EFFECT American citizens show new interest in crypto applications for email, messaging, etc. 2nd EFFECT NSA warns if you use crypto we will target you. (comment: BUT THEY ALREADY WERE!!!) American citizens seem to have thus been given a choice something like "either low or medium level targeting or high level targeting". 3rd Level EFFECT ...this is going to be a massive outbreak of interest in crypto apps on all sides.... |

USTIN, Texas — Glenn Greenwald, editor of the newly launched digital publication The Intercept, told attendees at SXSWi that the National Security Agency is wary of anyone who takes steps to protect their online activity from being hacked, such as using encryption tools......
Does anyone really care what some NSA rumor monger says they might be "wary about?" |
