Because if they are "heavily" spying on the U.S., they already knew all what Snowden had, and more. How many gov employees + contractors have top security clearances in the US? That's how.

The difference between "other countries" and the US is that the US puts up a show of "human rights", "scrutiny", and "court battles" in order to show that they "care", whereas the other ones

You have a point. However, something really rubs me the wrong way about them having the ability to spy on every person. They are actively going out of their way to set up future channels of spying, without the consent of customers who bou

Excuse me? How is that somewhat OK ? I don't give a damn about the NSA charter or even the constitution which so many people seem to bring up in hopes of justifying mass surveillance of civilians abroad - is mass spying on foreign civ

Alright, I stand corrected. However, I must point out one important characteristic of these pseudo-wars the U.S. keeps having - it's always on foreign soil.

Please show me where the U.S. has officially declared war on these countries it continues to blow up civilians in e.g. Yemen.

You're delusional. There is plenty of evidence even operators of drones don't always have evidence that the people they're killing are "terrorists", they just "feel" it. Without disclosing the rules, it op

I agree with you, but I don't know if you'll agree with me. In my experience, revolutions generally do not generate any sort of unbiased news. As a rule of thumb, it attracts extremist/opposition groups from both sides of t

I don't know if I would call it blatant guilt. The prosecution of insider trading in this case seemed to be very selective. How often do CEOs go to jail for that?

Crimea is a terrible example to illustrate that. 1)You stated that other country's governments would do at least as much surveillance. While not technically illegal, it certainly doesn't play out well for any system supposedly o

I find it peculiar that you still imply the US government's moral authority by using the phrase at least . What gives? What makes you think the other governments are intrinsically more evil? Besides, your argument is rather off-topi

You mean the same country where the word "social" is used as a slur? Or where if somebody receives welfare they are looked down upon and called lazy?[0] Broadly speaking, no, foreign aid given by the US is barely top 30 per capita

Except that's not what I'm doing at all. I was trying to say that the inequality and "hatred" towards inequality and wealth(both claims unsubstantiated, with emotionally charged language)he is attributing to "social

Care to point out where exactly in my reply it was that I was demonizing him? I was drawing parallels with a news outlet that has a habit of engaging into similar misrepresentations of situations.

You have it all mixed up, my friend. Some people want to think that a village idiot doesn't deserve to live a miserable life because he is a village idiot. You're certainly pulling a lot of strawmen here. Come to think of it, almo

Except we're not talking about outsourced work, and not about unqualified work either. Great job misrepresenting and misunderstanding what the issue is about. The only reason prices are so low is because it's all outsourced. If yo

Alright, I stand corrected. Do you think it's worth the time/opportunity cost/H1B costs/lawyers as opposed to hiring a local worker, if there's not something else going on?

Are your universities free/cheap? EDIT:to expand, the school costs are free. But where do the unis stand in terms of costs? For instance, a huge chunk of taxes go to subsidizing free education in a number of EU countries.

Since we're talking in absolute terms, you're basically saying all education acquired outside of the US is questionable. If you look at the world ranking of universities top 100, you'll see a number of foreign universities on

I don't see how not joining a field just because it consists of certain amount of foreigners is a healthy, normal instinct.

You do realize you're implying that Americans are xenophobic?

by insuffi 12y ago
If there's nothing special about them, why are companies hiring them? The usual "cheap workarz" angle is irrelevant. They all get market rates. Not to mention businesses having to sponsor relocation and the actual visas. Sure

How would that make the field more attractive? If the aforementioned Europeans and Asians left, and Americans moved in afterwards, aren't you essentially implying Americans cannot keep up with them?

Do you want to make a wild guess as to who supplied and supported the use of "bio" weapons?

Except her opinions have far reaching consequences, such as killing people. Am I not allowed to blacklist her because of that? I'm sure the people she's indirectly killed would blacklist her. No?

Except she did know that there were no WMDs there, and so did the rest of the admin. Even if the WMDs were there, that in no way posed a threat to the region or the World. If anything, that was just a charade. It's widely known the US

Like I said below, this has nothing to do with her political beliefs. It has to do with actions she was directly involved in. Describe what her political beliefs are and why people are objecting to them(and why they shouldn't object, a

Nope. In my world, morals matter more than political affiliation. Conservative or not, neither of those is inherently bad. What matters is how it's executed. Oh, and by the way,I have observed this trend in the US where people who are

This has nothing to do with political beliefs or a conservative background. You can be a conservative in all possible ways and still uphold moral principles. The last time I checked morality does not include lying, undermining human rights,
