  1. Am i a horrible person for not caring about them? I don't know. But for some reason, i feel nothing when you mention them except on an intellectual level, as in "It sucks not having a job". //edit: Wait a minute, they were taking jobs knowingly that they were being trained by the very people they would replace. Yeah, now care given. Gladly.
  2. Interesting theory. Do you think he's right? Sounds very plausible in my eyes. But unless there's an actual quote on this, it is just that: something plausible.
  3. I never owned a Dreamcast and i never intend to. Are there any ports of the first two games or am i doomed forever?
  4. I find it quite amusing that Sanders seems to be getting interest from both left and right. Sadly, he will get the Ron Paul-treatment by the democrats.
  5. Nononono, you silly dumb-dumb. It doesn't matter what some company did long ago, what matters now is a validation of their feelz.
  6. I do not see anything inheritly bad with "pow-pow" and "kaboom!"-games. After all, on the most base-level, the nature of men is war and the market simply delivers. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't appriciate if someone tries something new though, political humbug from leftiefeminists notwithstanding.
  7. They're like Marge Simpson is to Itchy & Scratchy.
  8. That test is broken, i selected nothing as important and got 85% Libertanian, 76% Constitution, 72% Republican, 66% Green Party and 60% Democrats. As for candidates: 72% Rubio, 62% Paul, 62% Sanders (18% Hillary) No matter who wins, i win!
  9. The ride never ends. Voat has experience its second DDoS-attack within 24 hours since the exodus started from Reddit.
  10. https://archive.is/NsJVt It seems like it wasn't that difficult to hack when you do not even encrypt people's social security number. Here i thought that after Snowden they would've put things like this as top priority, but apparently not.
  11. And the extended military campaign 40 years ago during the Vietnam war is relevant to Assange how? Sorry, i had the illusion that you were arguing out of principles instead of the whim of the moment. The fact that you're incapable to tell the parallels between the cases is quite telling. The only spurious parallel I can think of is that the USA government lied about some of its military actions during Vietnam...and once again I fail to see how this relates to Assange posting confidential documents. Unless you feel Assange is the right person to bring the " truth " to the world ? And yes my argument is absolutely based on the principle No, you deliberately derailing leaks about TPP to the guy presenting the leaked documents as someone that should tried to high treason. But when presented with evidence that Ellsberg just did everything that you accuse Assange of with the Pentagon Papers you revert back to playing dumb. The circumstances were different, Ellsberg was charged with espionage and then the charges were dropped due to Nixon engaging in unlawful efforts to discredit him Assange is not a US citizen and right now doesn't face any charges in the USA. This may change and hopefully should So the two examples once again are not the same. And your Ellsberg example still doesn't vindicate a person posting confidential government documents on the Internet, I don't why this is so hard for you to understand? Hahahaha Nice backpedaling, you weren't even aware of the existance of the Pentagon Paper before i posted them, did you? You're a good soldier.

  14. It's like some people haven't read any history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_Papers
  15. Good post. I have nothing further to add really. Sharp_one: "We are taking it back". Elaborate.
  16. Advertisers that rely on good public image react more strongly to politically incorrect and jailbait material. Since SJWs is still an internet thing and are fighting a "good" cause they will not have the same heavy baggage as others, thus this "oversight" of hypocrisy. But as Gamergate showed, the pendelum is starting to swing and they are now starting to have the same negative image as the ones i mentioned before.
  17. So what you need to realize is that people like Assange have an axe to grind with the USA, sometimes this type of animosity is justified but mostly its not. But the reality is the USA is the foundation of Western ideology. Its not perfect but it maintains a very important framework for the rest of the Western world. We need to question very carefully any person who has an issue with the USA in this type of context. Because most of the time this is not a good thing as this type of attack on the USA is really an attack on all of us who believe in Western ideology. We actually stand by the USA and fall by the USA, you just don't realize it. Imagine a world without the USA? For starters the EU would be at the mercy of Russian hegemony and Putin would be happily carving up parts of eastern Europe to rebuild his Russian empire and you can forget about the Chinese respecting any islands in the Pacific and they probably would have annexed Taiwan ages ago. Islamic fundamentalism would be much more rampant and destructive and the Middle East awash with civil wars. Africa would even more backward. So basically you would be forced to agree to anything that Russia or the Chinese wanted ...and I don't know about you but both those countries seem much worse overall than the USA Assange with help from Bradly Manning decided to selectively publish CONFIDENTIAL diplomatic cables about the USA, he was warned..he was cautioned. Who did he think he was to continue to be judge and jury of what the world needed to see about the USA, his hubris was astounding . He avoided the USA " playing nice " by DDOS attacks on his servers thinking he could hide in the Internet and continue to attack the national security of the USA but then he messed up and needed to face a legal challenge in Sweden...does Assange go to Sweden to face these charges? No of course not, the great moral compass of Assange doesn't apply to himself .. " he is Julian Assange...he is someone who is above the law" So you would assume he would then follow the legal process and fight extradition in the UK ...but once again " No..he is Julian Assange, he will never get a fair hearing !!!" So he skips bail and uses the annoying anti-Western views of Ecuador to get shelter...thinking he has cleverly avoided arrest. But this backfired horribly for him and now he cant leave...imagine being stuck in a building for years ...yes this punishment suits me as he is too much of a coward to face the minor charges of skipping bail or proving his innocence in Sweden. And please don't suggest that Sweden is unable to prosecute him legally and correctly...he just is in complete contempt for any legal system So this is the man you admire? I asked you what of his narrative of which you can demostrate to be false. "He hates the west and the USA-hurrdurr" ain't gonna cut it, bro. Or perhaps we can take a look at some of the very documents themselves instead? https://wikileaks.org/tpp/healthcare/WikiLeaks-TPP-Transparency-Healthcare-Annex.pdf
  18. Oh? What false narrative are you talking about here? Are you not doing that just now by trying shift focus from the document to him personally?
  19. In case you haven't noticed, reddit and the media are triumphly declaring that it is not censorship. It is about creating sound environments for constructive discussion. We do not need a history book to know what kind of spiral they have started now. Yes it is about creating a sound environment for discussion, those are exactly the words I would have used ...you know whats weird? I have been saying this for months that you should ban certain discussions as they do nothing but promote hate and a negative vibe for those targeted. You guys thought I was being like some kind of extremist..guess my suggestion wasn't that bad And the saddest thing about this situation is I know most of you will see this as confirmation that these websites are deeply flawed instead of seeing the positive Like clockwork. It's never censorship when the good guys do it. Making an environment more inclusive and less antagonistic should not be seen as censorship I wish you realized this :lol: EngSoc is looking for a propagandist, you should send your resume

  21. Yes, yes. We all know when someone tries to control forms of communication and saying that it is not censorship, only good times are ahead. Historically and eternally. if reddit have said that they will now implement a censorship beauro and declaring censorship is good for the site, i wouldn't have cared one bit.
  22. You were thinking for yourself. Surely you know this is not good? You're right, thank you. We live better than ever before, our governments are representing our best interests, the media are focusing on issues that truly matters; movies, music and art are currently depicting a healthy society living in a golden age with no agenda at all. School curriculums are ensuring that more critical thinking and mentally sound people are entering society upon adulthood, and the very food you eat is actually good for you. Sorry, i am good global citizen now. Time to sleep.....
