Is the will of an internet take over by china a good thing or a bad thing?
If You will see, in the past - US have send money and arms to Bin Laden, other type of shit people around the World (Lybia, Iraq), now in US are angry about Russia bomb the wrong terrorists again. Chinese government will have control about communication of this destructive activity of US on own territory, and will have international law to persecute such terroristic activity of US Government. To you china represents freedom of speech on the internet. Yes?

The Chinese have a long history of isolating themselves from the world. Article seems to indicate a dual Chinese strategy: control of information ( they would like to control everything) and implementing their own laws on global internet networking. China is a communist country and they behavior is be in charge of everything. I dont think they will succeed in this.
With the help of 0, their job has been eased.

A Chinese official on Friday called on the United Nations to impose an international code of conduct on the Internet. "It is highly necessary and pressing for the international community to jointly bring about an international code of conduct on cyberspace at an early date," said Wang Qun, director-general of the Arms Control Department of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, in comments to the U.N. General Assembly. Wang's comments were reported by China's main state-owned press outlet, the Xinhua News Agency. "China, for its part, will continue to commit itself to establishing a peaceful, secure, open and cooperative cyberspace and pushing for an early international code of conduct acceptable to all," Wang added. The U.N. will be considering norms related to cyberspace security this month. A committee comprised of 20 nations published a proposal over the summer for the General Assembly to consider. The U.N. advisory board has called for "effective cooperation among States to reduce risks to international peace and security" and says that state actors "should not conduct or knowingly support" cyber crime. In the wake of high profile hacks into the U.S. State Department, Department of Defense, and the Office of Personnel Management by China and Russia over the last year, officials have expressed a desire to establish norms on the matter. However, at the same time, President Obama has been moving forward with a plan to transfer control of Internet domain name functions to a multi-stakeholder body. Along with Russia, China has been the most vocal in urging a quick conclusion to that process, and for a management structure that ensures governments retain power over private stakeholders. As a result, observers will be watching to see what China's conception of a "code of conduct" entails. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/china-asks-world-to-impose-code-of-conduct-on-internet/article/2573844

EPA spends millions on military-style weapons, watchdog group reportsThe Environmental Protection Agency has spent millions of dollars over the last decade on military-style weapons to arm its 200 “special agents” to fight environmental crime. Among the weapons purchased are guns, body armor, camouflage equipment, unmanned aircraft, amphibious assault ships, radar and night-vision gear and other military-style weaponry and surveillance activities, according to a new report by the watchdog group Open the Books. “Protecting the environment just got real. With millions of dollars spent on military style weaponry, the EPA is now literally ensconced with all institutional force,” said Adam Andrzejewski, founder of Open the Books and the author of the report. “Our report discovered that when the EPA comes knocking they are armed with a thousand lawyers, arrest/criminal data, credit, business and property histories, plus a ‘Special Agent’ with the latest in weaponry and technology,” Mr. Andrzejewski added. The agency spends nearly $75 million each year for criminal enforcement, including money for a small militia of 200 “special agents” charged with fighting environmental crime. Congress granted police powers to the EPA in 1988, during the Reagan administration. The special agent “enforces the nation’s laws by investigating cases, collecting evidence, conducting forensic analyses and providing legal guidance to assist in the prosecution of criminal conduct that threatens people’s health and the environment,” according to the EPA’s website. The EPA estimates that each Special Agent costs taxpayers $216,000 per year in salary, travel, equipment, training and other expenses, according to the report. The EPA’s military weapons spending is just one example of the agency’s questionable purchases highlighted in the 40-page report. Open the Books, a nonpartisan and nonprofit group based in Illinois, scanned tens of thousands of the agency’s spending contracts totaling more than $93 billion from 2000 to 2014. Among the findings were hundreds of millions of dollars on high-end office furnishings, sports equipment and “environmental justice” grants to raise awareness of global warming. The report also reveals that seven of 10 EPA employees make more than $100,000 a year and more than 12,000 of its 16,000 employees were given bonuses last year despite budget cuts. The EPA also employs more than 1,000 attorneys, making it one of the largest law firms in the country. The agency also sent over $50 million since 2000 to international organizations, including groups in Mexico and China. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/oct/10/epa-spends-millions-on-military-style-weapons-repo/

Muslim Migrants Demand Sex: “Problem, problem problem here (points to groin) Balls is very big” These people are extremely dangerous, not only for humans, but for the animals as well. German Children under the age of 15 (both boys and girls) should not be allowed to travel alone, if they are living within the 5 km radius within this refugee center. Also, horses, goats, cows, pigs and other domesticated animals should be kept under lock and key. Your goat should have the right not to walk funny...

Her nearest competitors, Vermont Senator Sanders and Vice President of the U.S. Joe Biden, who has yet to decide whether he will run, both made gains. Support for Sanders jumped from just over 24 percent to 28 percent, and Biden rose from 16 percent to a even 20 percent in the same time period.
I seriously think the only candidate who has the best shot of winning is going to be Sanders... there is so much support from him amongst the young democratic voters. This notion of electing Hillary just because she is a woman is starting to disappear, and the democratic voters are actually starting to look more into Hillary's history... which could be considered a good/bad thing for the republican party. I think if Hillary would be elected it would be a shoe in to get a republican candidate elected for the presidency, because they will non stop call her out on all the bad things she's done over the years... While Sanders has a pretty clean history with radical socialist ideas, that I think a majority of the young people want... for some reason I don't really understand. Is sanders a candidate for the democrat party?

Clemson University apologizes for serving Mexican foodClemson Dining issued an apology to 'offended' students after hosting a 'Maximum Mexican' food day. Students took to Twitter to call the event culturally insensitive and to question the school's efforts to promote diversity.http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=6873 I can't believe they apologized. My favorite part of the article: "While a few on Twitter were offended, the overwhelming preponderance of students registered absolutely no reaction at all. The one student who did respond to the Twitter complaints wrote, "I'm offended that you're offended. #CUfiestafiasco."
Clemson senior Austin Pendergist told Campus Reformhe felt the post-event uproar was “ridiculous.”
“This is something that Clemson Dining has done for years without any sort of backlash. People love the cultural nights in the dining halls,” Pendergist said. “What's next? Are they going to take away all potato based food as to not offend students from Irish decent? Remove the stir fry station so Asian-American students don't feel as if they are being misrepresented? When does it end?”"Never.

I'm not surprised at all this happened, I know Jon Stewart has his bad points, but he was always an honest human being and that's what made him so likeable when the left did something extremely shitty he let them know about it most of them time. Trevor Noah on the other hand seems to have the mentality of your average tumblr SJW from what I've seen of him, meanwhile with Jon he'd get into arguments with various left wing networks who thought they could arrogantly lecture him about everything which was always funny to watch.
Actually, I am pretty glad Trevor Noah isn't getting the same ratings, because if he did it would say a lot about the people who watch the daily show.
I liked jon and the way he was making fun of conservatives. He was funny. It was painful. I thought he had that Easy Rider DNA. Really sad he became a 100% 0bama puppet. Bill maher, another one I want to hate, but he is funny and even a broken clock is right twice a day... That trevor dude, if he wants to stay in the business, needs to be smarter or buy his jokes on Ebay...

Beethoven couldn't hear the music he wrote or played on piano. He was deaf. The only reason you should be sad is not to be able to hear what he was hearing...

VIDEO: No, Donald Trump, the Mid East Wouldn't Be More Stable Under Saddam/Other DictatorsThe mistake Mr. Trump is making is to think ahistorically, that is, to think as though societies do not change dramatically over time. The Neoconservatives thought they could install a king over Iraq in 2003. But Iraqi society had overthrown the kings in 1958, and there is no going back. History may not be dialectical in exactly the Hegelian sense, but any historical situation does produce other, different situations over time. Moreover, societies can change dramatically. History is not static. It is not like a slab of marble. Historical developments produce new and different historical situations over time, and new generations react to the previous ones by striking out in different direction, even at great risk.
How anyone in his right mind could think that Bashar al-Assad (r. 2000- present) brought stability to Syria just baffles me. He provoked the 2011 uprisings and he caused the civil war by deploying his military against the peaceful demonstrators. That's stability? It is mostly his fault that over 200,000 Syrians are dead and 11 million out of 22 million are homeless. If you are president and your country is in this condition, you don't get to say you brought stability. Nor is the problem outsiders. In 2011 there was almost no outside interference in Syria. Bashar drove the opposition to pick up arms. The largely rural and illiterate Syria of 1970 when Bashar's father came to power is long gone. You can't keep them on the farm once they have seen gay Paree.
Iraq was anything but stable under Saddam Hussein (r. 1979-2003). The country invaded two neighbors, Iran and Kuwait, in wars that killed perhaps a million Iraqis out of then 16 million! Thousands were bulldozed into mass graves for belonging to opposition parties. Does this sound stable to you? That the regime would have survived in the long term is highly unlikely. I did and do think the US invasion of Iraq a huge mistake (in early 2003 I compared the idea to that scene in Star Wars where they are in the trash compactor and it starts to move, and Harrison Ford says "I have a bad feeling about this.") But that is because the war violated international law and brought absolute chaos to Iraq, not because the existing government was "stable" or good for the locals.
Gaddafi's police state was unstable all along, but survived because of repression. By 2011 it was no longer surviving, because society had changed. In 1969 Libya was largely rural and illiterate. In 2011 it was largely urban and literate. In 1969 most people did not have telephones. In 2011 most people had cell phones. When Gaddafi cut off the internet, people just sent videos and messages by SMS on their phones. People were what Karl Deutsch called "socially mobilized" (urban, literate, connected by communications networks, etc.). Being socially mobilized is no guarantee of being politically mobilized. Lots of socially mobilized societies are politically quiescent. But in 2011 people in Libya became politically mobilized, and their high degree of social mobilization was a real asset in making the revolution. The UNO/ NATO intervention mainly leveled the playing field for the rebels by destroying regime arms depots out in the desert or targeting SCUD and tank convoys. Read more at https://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/184546-2015-10-09-video-no-donald-trump-the-mid-east-wouldnt-be-more.htm. Trump is not a politician. The one thing that put him on top is immigration. If this go, nothing else will matter in the US. The progressives, from D to R, know this.
