I hope they dont ban it. although i dont like the concept it needs somewhere to go. i dont think a ban is on the cards. utrecht is still building brand new brothels. unfortunately in my neighbourhood. would be better if they used areas outs

maybe some moderator of such a site sees this and perhaps bans such content on his site as well. all we can do is set the right example.

terrorism is sort of like speading your ideas by inflicting violence to make headlines. i would not want such tactics to be rewarded in any way. i believe in arguing for your ideas without the use of violence to 'market' them. I w

i flagged this because its essentially terrorist propaganda because of what the guy did. i dont know what the guidelines are regarding such things but i don't think this belongs in a civil place like this.

of course there is a tradeoff. that example from ww2 is unsettling. For sure that is not my intention, but i doubt that is what would happen. ww2 is a long time ago. hate crime is down a lot. people should not be so pessimistic about modern

instead of making this (even more) illegal, which would solve very little as its still apparantly trivial to do, they should instead work on making that address book. that way when everything is transparant, paedophiles can be caught and we

you could make a case for ms paint. its a simple program and ms could gain some easy points by doing this. but flash is a very useful thing. to open source it is to create a free competitor that will hurt your chances when you could release

Those prices are too high. I dont think anyone has these amounts lying around unless they already have good jobs (and hence do not need this). These programs should compromise on immersion and cost about $2000 for three months.

its fine if there are such distributions. i just dont think they should be the main distribution. by this i mean: i think the distro you get when you click the 'download editor' button on the site of the author of the editor or en

Whitemale and proud of it. This author says what needs saying more. As society becomes more of a game of 'soft skills' women will have the advantage and the power. The future is more Marissa May and less Bill Gates. It is very imp

UBI may become necessary someday but until unemployment rises to unprecedented levels the potential for gdp loss is enormous. Right now we should be focussed on allocating human resources, not letting young people retire.
