We talk about banning fake news, but here this article is talking about the CIA saying Trump’s victory is due to the Russians. Except it doesn’t. It doesn’t have any proof of that, it says it could have happened and they wouldn’t know. They also could have tried to stop him from gaining power, or secretly…

Why is your artist friend living in a box in SF instead of a house in any of the thousands of small towns across America that have high speed internet?

As a thought:

You can’t (and shouldn’t) change people’s sexual preferences. Just let it go and don’t hook up with people you aren’t interested in. If they end up lonely and alone that is their business.

If you want to re-introduce minstrel shows, then I should be mad at you for making a minstrel show and not mad because you didn’t make the minstrel show remove its racism. It would be worse if you made a modern minstrel show but tried to sanitize it by removing the racism. That is the double standard. If you think…

not being a straight man, I don’t want Conan to be altered to appeal to me anymore than I want my gay porn to be altered to appeal to a straight audience. Its ok to have target markets that aren’t for everyone.

I can totally buy the “its not appropriate” genre (assuming we want media to adhere to social norms, which is a different discussion). I am much more against white washing. Making a non-sexist Conan boardgame would be like making a boardgame about Nazi’s where you cut out the antisemitism. If the subject matter is…

As a thought: Maybe don’t play Conan then? I mean, I wouldn’t plop my Jewish friends down for a game of Panzerkommander either.

So you are saying that Obama is a racist? Or are you saying that when Obama says it isn’t Racist but when Trump says it it is?

1. If you think random screening is truly random you haven’t been to an airport. I don’t disagree that Obama takes everything Trump is saying about Muslims and includes other groups, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t ALSO affect them. 2. Yes, they do, that is part of the information Snowden brought to light. Its…

I did answer those thing. You didn’t like the answer because it didn’t fit into your A/B framing if someone points out C. The real fail is your attempt to create a false dichotomy, a basic logical fallacy.

Ya, it is. Its not openly called that, but the FBI monitor pretty much every mosque in the country, have a no-fly list of Muslims that you can’t know if you are on, and tap every Muslim’s phone and read their email. They also monitor everyone else, but lets not pretend Muslims aren’t monitored now.

Damn right it would still be bad. Obama set precedent for overruling the houses. Literally nothing can stop Trump now.

Maybe, that is an assumption some people have. But not everyone agrees (remember Terri Schiavo?) It would be an interesting legal precedent for if this was a head transplant or a body transplant (I suspect body transplant as the body will have been declared dead first).

Because then Spiridonov has to die while others make them feel good about themselves. Its a privately funded procedure on a terminal patient. If he wants his 0.0005% chance to survive, that is his call. Its his life, his suffering, his money.

1.) Those racists were already in Canada. 2.) His super racist policies (not the racist things he said, the policies) are just Obama’s policies worded angrily. People I think forget how cruel a lot of what Obama has done is (both red and blue state ignore it). Trumps wall is just an extension of Obama’s fence, and…

Or maybe the problem was giving the office of the president that much power. The danger of Trump is the massive extension of powers and removal of checks Obama opened up because he didn’t want to be blocked by Congress.

5 Things Obama set as precedent for Trump:

There is more and there is scope. Obama set precedent that the president can have an American citizen killed without trial based on suspicion that only needs to convince the president personally (or be a petty vendetta that the president lies about being legitimate suspicion). That is a terrifying power for Trump to…

There is the number of orders and the scope: Unilaterally assassinate american citizens without trial based on secret evidence that may as well just be a hunch and/or petty vendetta is a bigger use of executive power than most orders.
