It's relatively easy to get people on your side of that debate. Tell them about how often people who have been convicted to face the death penalty are later exonerated.

he predicted ruby's massive success relative to python over some of that time stretch in another article. he predicted everyone would be writing code in the browser instead of emacs & co and i don't think that has come true.

I think something trivial like store employees prompting customers at the till to buy pornographic media that they looked at for too long on the shelf/online, would be legislated against easily. "I see you've been looking at

That's the deal with GCHQ, why would the BND be any different?

You can't generalise like that. It's a mistake to tar everybody with the same brush in supporting the erosion of privacy. Some people, rightly, hold themselves and others to higher standards. Because they do so, does not necessari

I think in both the examples you give, what starts out as 'innocuous' and 'well meaning' will inevitably be subverted for something far more nefarious. Not everyone with a different opinion to you is incapable of forming

We both treat them as negative, however that you are unable to appreciate differences in extent raises serious questions for you, yes. Society seems to be able to distinguish between different crimes and atrocities, yet you seem unwilling i

Well we have completely opposing views in that case. I think if you cannot compare atrocities or crimes you are suffering from sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies (i.e. morally bankrupt) but I say that as an armchair psychologist, much

Which crime is worse is the question you should be asking, instead of trying to invert the interpretation for reasons unknown.

I certainly think 20,000 deaths is worse than 10,000 deaths yes. I believe there is a much greater discrepancy than 2x, between the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and ongoing drone strikes inflicting civilian casualties, and Chinese incursions i

I'll be very short, at least Iran and China didn't invade Iraq and Afghanistan on false pretenses. They aren't currently droning civilians in 5 countries. If you pay taxes in America you are financially supporting their milit
