Try GNU smalltalk if you want it "integrated" into linux: http://smalltalk.gnu.org/ However, you completely miss the point of smalltalk by doing this.

I believe that's infeasible due to the nation's severe energy shortage.

So sad to see VaderCoin die. . .

yeah, but a bad contract makes it easier to.

This is interesting. Do you have the source code for this somewhere?

Interesting. What, specifically, do Germans have an over-tolerance and leniency for? Curious from a cultural perspective.

I don't get it, aren't germans super-touchy about nazi issues and the holocaust? I would imagine jews would be in some sort of "protected class" status in germany, at least culturally.

Such as racism. I just made a "racist" posting that fit the theme of the article, and it got downvoted.

So if homosexuals weren't a protected group, you would support that?

by steveeq1 9y ago
Yet the government can force private entities to sell a cake to a homosexual couple? The laws seem arbitrary to me.

Yes, I agree. We can easily apply the same logic and apply the ban to, say, gangsta rap, as many of lyrics are hate speech. But I'm willing to bet most people would be against this.

> I think it would actually highlight how subtly and unconsciously racist many people are, which would help us solve that problem. One can make the same argument about height-ism, ugly-ism, or money-ism.

> I also think it would bring ~10 years of extreme societal collapse as we would realize that most of our social norms make no sense, and those things that we demonize are actually quite common. Like racism?

I'm saying that the liebeck case was an outlier. The vast majority of judges throw off hot coffee cases (as hot or hotter) as "frivolous".
