Can we get sources on that figure of 20-30k killed please?

Clickbait. But totally accurate.

The fact that the authors don't (when they surely must be aware) makes you wonder if they're on the take somehow. Or have been pressured into silence.

Nothing less will impact the long term behavior of AT&T or any other cell company. Or that of ... any other kind of company.

I'd be curious if anyone can summarize the tradeoffs between Confluence + MediaWiki at some point. From what I've seen it seems to come down to: (1) MediaWiki is definitely more responsive (Confluence can be quite slow) and, impo

Now, of course, making sure NIMBYers don't get in other people's business is a different story. Piffle. I'm a NIMBYist, you're a NIMBYist, everyone's a NIMBYist. It's just a question of over which criteria.

Relatively liberal and progressive countries at times do prohibit people from practicing their religion, and France's restrictions serve as an example. It's a question of "restrict expression to some extent" v. "p

Churches have special status given by the government. Then maybe the problem is the messed up laws providing that "special status" then. But that doesn't mean you can (even under those laws) category ban a certain group fr

Does it follow that it is hate speech to say, "the government should handle religion more like France."? You'll note that France does not, by any stretch, attempt to ban mosques outright . So obviously there's not muc

What's wrong about being against one religion in particular. You can be "against" a particular religion all you want. But you have absolutely no right to prohibit anyone from practicing that religion simply because you do

I don’t want more churches built, is that hate speech? Yes. What business is it of yours what people do behind closed doors? (EDIT: assuming that behavior is otherwise law-abiding, in compliance with building codes, etc).

I struggle to see why it is they're simply hate speech and not a valid political movement. A quick look at their "No More Mosques!" campaign should suffice to provide the insight you seek.
