Although these parties don't want that to be true in future and they do their best to undermine current systems. what system you mean? Democracy? Systems that allow free education and universal health care

Maybe USA should first declare official language

Unless it has changed since 2013, they do not pay Federal Income Tax. Heres an interesting website that talk about the US territories. Unincorporated territories of the United States don't pay federal taxes, because congress in past wanted to have ability to impose discriminatory tax regimes with the effect of a protective tariff upon territorial regions which were not domestic states. Unincorporated territories were and are still quite lot effectively same as colonial territories were and are for European countries. They are places that are under government control, but aren't protected by constitutions and regulations of main land. In past citizens of said territories didn't even have citizenship of country that controlled them, and even now there are usually limitations and exceptions in their citizenship. All this means that benefit of said territories for main land isn't that they pay taxes, but that their citizens are seen expendable so they can used as cheap labor to get resources that main land needs, or circumvent regulations allowing tax havens, unsafe medical research and so on. Or they are seen as strategic location for either defensive or offensive purposes. These days it seems that old colonial territories cause often more headache than actual benefits because development of global market and rules have have decreased benefits that countries get from having colonial territories.

I'm not sure what's wrong about shutting down someone who isn't qualified to hand out dietary advice from doing so for-profit. Would you feel similarly outraged if she was offering tips on prescription drug usage? I didn't know, but looks to me like the requirements for obtaining a dietitian's license in Florida are quite stringent. That's a good thing. She doesn't get to do the same thing without undergoing proper training. What happens if someone's health is damaged from following her advice? As long as she is not presenting herself as something she's not what is the problem? Suppose you need new brakes on your car. The repair shop quotes you one price and I offer to do it in my backyard for half. Should the government be harassing me? The choice is always with the consumer. If you do a **** job on my brakes then I or someone else could die in addition to extensive damages to vehicles. Now we could blame the car owner for being a cheap bastard but if this keeps happening and damage keeps happening then perhaps the guy fiddling with brakes should be told to stop because he is doing so in a way that is creating a public health crisis. Now a bad diet isn't going to be as spectacularly lethal as a car wreck, but as the numbers man pointed out there are potentially severe health issues that can arise in a bad diet. Why do you guys assume she gives bad advices? If she would be bad then she wouldn’t have customers. Also having a license doesn't actually prevents bad diet advices. It only ensures that the wealthy will be the only ones entitled for certain jobs. It baffles me that most leftists support licenses. Licenses means that government guarantees certain level of expertise, if license holder fails to hold that level of expertise then government can be hold to be accountable for issuing license for person that didn't have enough expertise in their field to do their job. People should be allowed to buy services from people that don't have license with knowledge that quality of service that they are getting isn't guarantee by government. Although there are field where need of expertise is so high that it is understandable that they are regulated by government. I can't say if dietary advises fall under such need of high expertise that it demands government regulation. But food industry is one of most heavily regulated industries around the world, because bad food can cause epidemics among the people, which we have seen several times in past, which has lead to regulations that food industry has these days. I would point out that most people regardless of their political background support licenses, although they may have different opinion what things need licenses.

President Trump on Tuesday told Puerto Rico officials they should feel “very proud” they haven’t lost thousands of lives like in “a real catastrophe like Katrina,” while adding that the devastated island territory has thrown the nation’s budget “a little out of whack.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-praises-himself-for-administrations-great-job-in-puerto-rico/2017/10/03/fdb5eeb4-a83a-11e7-8ed2-c7114e6ac460_story.html?tid=sm_tw&utm_term=.22c8b27c1813 Good to know, I was worried for bit that Puerto Rico was facing real catastrophe. But I must say that Trump shows here how brilliant leader he is. People should remember to be thankful that they aren't child facing famine in Africa, because that is bad. So sad.

People should just accept that it is "Hyvää Joulua" (Have good Yule), like we do in Finland and everybody can be miserable or happy for fact that it isn't their holiday that gets praised and there isn't constant need for battle which phrase to use during midwinter holiday season Sounds too close to "hallelujah" to ever work. It don't think that they have similar sound https://translate.google.fi/?hl=fi#fi/en/hyv%C3%A4%C3%A4%20joulua%0Ahallelujah

They say that you know that you live in free country if you can insult its institutions and symbols without fear of punishment or other forms of retaliation.

Paris agreement is non-binding voluntary agreement, so its pros and cons are, are you with other nations behind the idea that nature should be protected and emissions need to be lowered or are you not. And agreements are deals where people/nations come together and decide to do something together. And Trump as self proclaimed deal maker don't seem to have against deals (agreements) generally speaking, so he is clearly also leftist group thinker .

The Clone Wars (22–19 BBY), also known as the Clone War and the Great Clone War, was the name given to the major galactic conflict fought between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

You can go here and look at the actual statistics for Harvard: https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/admissions-statistics Those numbers tell that asian americans are over represented in Harvard (22.2% of admitted students compared to 6% of population). African americans representation is about same as their percentage of population (14.6% of admitted students compared to 14% of population). Native American or Pacific Islander have are bit over represented (2.5% of admitted students compared to 0.9% of population). Hispanics or Latinos are under represented (11.6% of admitted students compared to 16.3% of population). Non-hispanic white americans are under represented (49.1% of admitted students compared to 63% of population) By this numbers show clear institutional favoritism for asian americans and it is white americans that mostly suffer from this favoritism.

This is the peak of modern jurnalism. One sided story, author is the subject of article, no proof the story actually happened. I applaud. Did you notice what section of the paper it was in ? Don't you know that letters to editor/public voice section pieces needs to be go through extreme vetting for facts these days just so that paper that publishes them could not be accused for bad journalism and even that probably would not save paper from accusations of fake news if reader don't like what they read. I mean we live in time when direct quotes with video link to person saying thing they are quoted to say are accused to be fake news attack pieces.

I cant say I have ever heard Muslims going around and saying " "Allahu Akbar" unless its in the context of some kind of terrorist attack or Jihad or military outcome But I am not really an expert on Arabic and dont really pay attention when people speak it ? It mean god is great, it is phrase which Muslims use in their five daily prayers they should do. Interestingly it is phrase which use predates Islam. I Interesting, but when its used in the context we are referring to its normally screamed aloud and only those words are used ...its definitely not used in a nice way ? It is used in several situations In prayer, as mentioned In times of distress In times of joy and gratitude Following births and deaths During the Eid Festival and the Hajj In west it is most commonly linked to Jihadists/terrorists who use it as their battle cry. It usage as battle cry by Jihadist/terrorists is probably inspired by fact Muhammad and his followers used it as their battle cry. So in sort it is used both in nice and in not nice way

People who shout "God Bless" in public should be shot as well in order to avoid discrimination.

Primary cause behind terrorist attacks is belief in supremacy of ideology/belief/religion in such extent that person starts to think that all that don't accept said ideology/belief/religion deserve to die because they are lesser beings.

It isn't surprising considering that Russians usually hate nazis including neo-nazis quite lot.

The true nazis are the ones who call their political opponents nazis because they disagree with them. Or communists, libtards and so on.

Not sure if joking or just very, very mistaken... Completely serious. Fascists of today admire Israel as a blueprint of how to do an ethnostate and would be willing to work with Zionists against the Muslim states because Muslims are currently a bigger cause of Xenophobia than Jews. My original home town is one of the neo-nazi centers in Finland, neo-nazis there support state of Israel and Zionism because for them it means supporting relocating all Jews to Israel where they will fight with Muslims which they see as plus plus situation.

Do you have proof of this? Because not even Google has claimed such -- all we know is the manifesto is in breach of their "code of conduct". Besides, he wasn't "undermining" anything, except perhaps the uniform acceptance of the party line. He's just complaining that Two Minutes Hate cramps his style. Only grapevine speak at the work, can't say how reliable gossip actually is. When knowledge about his manifesto went viral, it caused lots of talk (gossip) about anti-women atmosphere on Google, which directly undermines Google's PR efforts where they have build image being accepting and diverse working place where any sort discrimination is frowned upon. Google puts great value in their imago as liberal, accepting and diverse company and employer.

That still sounds incredibly controlling. They are making that decision based solely on a religious belief, I assume. How is that any better than what Google does? Google tries to politically indoctrinate employees and fires the unindoctrinatable ones, Hobby Lobby refuses to pay for abortion inducing drugs. Where's the similarity here? Google fired person who used Google's resource and time that was paid by Google (meaning that person write his manifesto during his work hours) to undermine PR effort in which Google has put billions of dollars in past decade. I mean which company would not fire such employee. Hobby Lobby promises healthcare it employees but with exception that said healthcare needs to fit in their brand image. With those two I would say that Google's actions are less nefarious and they pay better salaries for their workers.

You can install needed cameras and environmental sensors in 4WD car, but dirt roads are quite tricky for driving AI's to interpret with absolute accuracy, which is why self driving cars at least still have manual driving mode for such and other situations that their computer can't handle.
