The above comment is an excellent example of political gaslighting, there is ample, undeniable evidence of some sort of GOP collision with Russia. No sane person looking at the evidence could come to any other conclusion, but by confidently stating the exact opposite of the truth the above commenter seeks to sow doubt in the mind of a potentially disinterested or confused audience. This is a an increasingly common tactic on these boards.

What you're doing right now fits my worldview like a nice pair of gloves.

This is not an adult response.

Obama lowered taxes, in fact no Democratic president has raised taxes during my lifetime (I'm 25). It's pretty strange people always claim this is a thing when it's just flat false.

This somewhat anecdotal, but the biggest issue I had when living in the suburbs was traffic. I'm someone who has driven hundreds of thousands miles and never been in an accident, but the extreme levels of fear and stress I got from going even short distances in the suburbs was just aweful.

I didn't always feel this way, but I think the use of cellphones has created and environment where even slow moving drivers are unpredictable. I now walk to work and frequently see people on their phones while driving, if a line of ten cars are stopped at a light at least three people are on their phones. The result isn't an extreme increase in accidents but a constricting deficit of attention which incrementally lengthens every encounter on the road. More short stopping, more people missing green lights or just driving super conservatively and not merging holding up traffic.

Also I never use my phone while driving, but the fact that I can't even look at it when I know someone is trying to contact me is incredibly frustrating and impacts my enjoyment of driving.

The thing is it's not even really an argument, it's a rationalization. It's so strange to me that someone would even try to argue that life expectancy doesn't reflect the quality of health care. what conceivably could be gained by attempting to prove such a counter-intuitive thing?

This is neither a discussion nor interesting.

You say this so confidently, I almost believe it.

Well it's more effective then griping on the internet. The spoiled child approach has done wonders for Trump and the Republicans.

> Well that's not that exciting or even new. I don't know of other countries, but some of brazilian literature classics from the XIX century were originally published in small pieces at daily newspapers. With intense debate around the paths of the story.

Two questions:

1. What specifically are you referring to?

2. Why did you feel the neeed to express it in Roman numeral?

"By any means necessary", was in retrospect an inflammatory statement, which I should not have used. I don't believe violence is necessary, or even helpful in achieving a moral society.

As for judgements about the morality of others, this is my opinion. I don't apologize for it. I know I'm unlikely to be directly persuasive using this moral judgement as an argumentative tactic, but to make people conscious of the intangible, quasi-spritual ramafications of their political beliefs does at least as much good as simply getting someone to believe what I believe.

Thanks for your superb analysis.

I get this is a a technology forum a people generally shouldn't post politically charged stuff.

I am more then happy to never post any political crap here again, but I like to know why/how my recent post was flagged. I apologize, if I violated the etiquette or something.

I confused by this, I don't see the parallel your drawing.

Try to do the same thing with HC, it will interesting to see what the results of that would be, I mean you could have a point, but I think there's a reason this is Trump we're talking about.

As for my dignity, perhaps I'm more sensitive then most, but this feels humiliating for me. I will not protect a man who would grab, my sister, my mother, my daughter and rape her with his hands. End of story.

The Trump mindset is will never be shut down it's returned again throughout history leading to death and bloodshed whenever it takes hold, we can't stop people think the way they do because hatred and xenophobia are part of human nature, but that is not the nature of our American society. One we build as a people with civility. It is not the "Trump mindset" we strive to teach our children.

Being a "fuckwit", a racist, a Trump supporter these are all just different faces of the same beast, they all revel in the humiliation and dehumanization of those who they see as weak.

I am liberal and economically, fortunate man, I stand nothing to lose of my own by the polices of Trump, if every immigrate is deported and every Muslim is killed, I have no reason to fight against these things, except my belief that to cause the suffering of the innocent is evil.

While one can never truly speak to a man's character, his behavior is evil and will, in time, be punished, if not by us then by a greater power. That power whether it economic, foreign, in the legacy we leave as Americans, or possibly even an angry god, it will judge him and us as well for our complacency.

>Yahoo’s diversity reports indicate that the percentage of women in leadership positions at the company rose slightly to 24 percent in 2015 from 23 percent in 2014.

This is buried in the very last line of the article.

One thing very few people consider about writing in cursive, is that it is much harder to do if you are left handed. As a left handed person this annoys me.

Your paragraphs 3 and 4 and excellent points I hadn't considered.

I think however it's not enough to conclude that consciously avoiding using antibiotics provides a net gain.

It, in my mind, becomes a bit of an economics question if you consider the trade-offs. Not dosing cattle could to food poisoning which could lead to higher human consumption of antibiotics.

I also have a fear of this becoming a panic, much like the anti-vaccine panic which leads people away from getting proper medical treatment.

I thought this would be some people's reactions because they don't want to address the science. It could very well be possible that we are under prescribing antibiotics to the point where they can stay in the population long enough to develop immunities. Everyone seems to think this a crazy idea, but can't produce a shred of evidence to refute it.

Or she doesn't use it and the strain spreads to ten other people who use antibiotics and start developing resistant strains.
