We have to get democracy first. So far Saudi has allowed local municipal elections (while denying any challenge to the monarchy), and I blame part of this on the US backing the dictatorship and arming them with weapons they use on their own citizens. (e.g. the US govt knowingly authorized the sale of thousands of…

Jokes are supposed to be funny. That’s already the case for all Arab women, even Saudi women show skin. Go educate yourself.

“Strictest Standards”? Hah. Stupid PR spin.

A PR ploy is what I can call the Likud goverment’s “peace” policy. They dismiss every valid cricitism from neighbors and paint all critics as anti-semites. Rather than make a counter-offer, they foment more strife and enmity that they use to get more domestic votes and foreign aid.

And Israel made peace with Egypt and…

Don’t defend that country’s behavior. Their “enemies” and neighbors all offered a comprehensive peace deal and the Israeli government rejected it (they get more benefit from conflict and using it as a means to get money and support from their patrons. And it’s a weak excuse to dismiss criticism of Israel as latent…

The Far Right has accused Muslim college students of all being involved in a conspiracy like this, including getting marching orders from foreign countries. (It’s completely false) Somehow it wasn’t as objectionable when Jewish groups did it.

All Pruit has to do is ask any radiologist, what’s a safe level of radiation? (Answer: there is no “safe” level)

I know the FDA comes off as completely devoid of humor, but the FDA has a duty to maintain proper labeling. Thousands of people a year die from allergies in food, and the FDA has to protect the public. Also, if they let stuff like that slip, it weakens their authority in future legal cases I’m sure.

Why make it see-through? Are you afraid that someone will try to shoot you through it?

This is the problem when you create a monopoly. Not only is it problematic to have only one major video hosting site, but also tying it in with all the other major cloud services. We need to diversify the ecosystem.

That’s not what Apple said.

Still, if you switch to cricket under the iPhone upgrade program it’s still an unlocked phone.

You can use the upgrade program for unlocked devices, for T-Mobile at least. Under the terms of the program, you are taking out a 0% interest loan for the full cost of the phone and paying it off in 24 installments, so yo can unlock the phone immediately.

Muslim here. The post-9/11 episodes of JAG and Law and Order were so painfully chock full of false stereotypes and islamophobia. Law and Order had the Muslim convert who pathologically hates all Jews and the Nation of Islam leader who hated white people but was a closet hypocrite. JAG had a female American soldier who…

That requires 10 incorrect tries for the passcode attempts to erase the phone.

The way I interpret it is, Sansa was genuinely worried with regards to Arya, and decided to talk it out with Littlefinger. He said you should consider everyone’s worst motivations, and maybe that Arya wants to be the Lady. Sansa should have immediately snapped into the realization that Arya NEVER wanted to be Lady…

Airbag deployed, I don’t know if he could recover fast enough.

As every Fox News viewer knows, the rainbow flag symbolizes hatred of straight people and the destruction of traditional marriage. /s

They are trying to make an argument that appeals as broadly as possible and wins over moderates and undecideds. Pointing out the absurdities in this bill that offends moderates is an effective and winning strategy and saves you from having to have a full-on argument with pro-lifers from scratch again.
