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.

You'd be taking about direct democracy 'changing things' if you lived in a multiple party system. We do - and it's the same bull****, albeit on a smaller scale. Voting blocks graviate towards an effective two party system anyway. The problem is systemic to power itself. I can recommend this book for a good dose of cynisism https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328737207l/11612989.jpg Gravitation towards two party system comes from government vs. opposition arrangement, but what I like in multiparty system is that it is usually easier predict how unified or divided government or opposition is towards certain issues.

When half of the congress consist of millionaires, I don't think that is that big initiative And I am not sure if exempted is right term to use but they aren't full participants either at least according to this snopes post http://www.snopes.com/members-congress-health-care/ "Prior to the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as ACA, or Obamacare), members of Congress received the same healthcare insurance benefits as any other federal employee through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, or FEHBP. During the mark-up of the ACA bill, however, lawmakers inserted a provision (Section 1312(d)(3)(D)) that requires members of Congress and designated congressional staff members to obtain their health insurance through ACA exchanges rather than continue to receive their healthcare coverage through the FEHBP. As of 1 January 2014, Members of Congress (MOC) and Congressional staff purchase their insurance through the District of Columbia’s small business health options program (SHOP) exchange, also known as DC Health Link. Contrary to popular belief, Congressional members do not receive free health care. As it does for other federal employees who purchase their insurance through the FEHBP, the federal government provides a subsidy equivalent to 72 percent of the weighted average of all FEHBP premiums. Therefore, MOC and staff pay approximately 28 percent of their annual healthcare premiums through pre-tax payroll deductions. Although DC’s SHOP offers a total of 57 different ACA insurance plans at the bronze, silver, gold and platinum levels, the Office of Personnel Management has ruled that MOC and staff may only receive the employer contribution if they purchase insurance at the gold tier. If we look solely at the District of Columbia’s SHOP health plans and federal employer contributions, Members of Congress receive benefits very similar to those enjoyed by any employee of a large company. The bottom line is this: Members of Congress and their staff members are required by law to purchase their health insurance through the exchanges offered by the Affordable Care Act. However, the federal government subsidizes approximately 72 percent of the premium cost."

Because conservatives wanted to smear Clinton they succeed to get SC decision that now prevents them blocking liberals from smearing Trump, which forces them to use "Fake News" defense. I see irony in that. There's no irony. Free speech is free for everyone. Also "Fake news" is a term liberals came up with, only to have it boomerang in their faces since they're the main purveyors. Yes very ironic situation

Pakistan's SC disqualified their PM because of Panama papers, which maybe good could be good because it move to fight against corruption, but it maybe also bad because it may give control of Pakistan to their generals.
