If pointing out that there are people out there celebrating child rapists and women who want to destroy female equality in the united states is a bannable offense on HN, please do so. I see no reason to stop pointing out facts because it makes the hive mind here uncomfortable.
The difference is that the leaders (Linda Sarsour to name one) of things like the womens march are, to borrow a phrase from someone, deplorable people.
By contrast, the people you're talking about on the right are properly and quietly marginalized.
The right tell the deplorable people on their side to shut up and fuck off home, the left champion them and put them on stage (like the unrepentant child rapist Lena Dunham speaking at the DNC)
Keep in mind also, even those people who support legalization (myself) do not necessarily believe that that means that existing laws should be ignored and unenforced. This creates a situation where police and politicians can choose, based on whatever subjective factors they want, who to prosecute. This leads to anarchy.
If no sensible person regards them as criminal, they would not be crimes.
Your assertion is that the sentencing/laws are racist. I would assert that crime, itself, is racist. For whatever reason some minorities commit more crimes. Keep in mind, I'm not saying that they do it BECAUSE they are a minority. I am not saying black people are inherently more criminal because they are black, merely that based on demographics a black person is more likely to be a criminal. I do not know why that is (nor do you) and do not make any attempt at explaining it.
You assume they will be charged extra by the ISP, or more correctly that they will know about it.
It'll probably end up like most people's cable bill: a large block of charges that are mostly not understood by most people.
Also keep in mind that most services don't actually want to charge the ISPs for access to their content, they just want access. Facebook doesn't want to charge your ISP to reach you reliably, nor does Netflix, they just want to be able to do it.
Translation: there is nothing actually in there about removing those regulations. You (and others, MSM outlets included) are attempting to manufacture outrage.
I don't think it goes either way. An argument could be made that the review ends up saying "Everything the NSA does is irrelevant, shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders".
Obviously I don't think that is actually going to happen either, but, nor do I think this means the NSA would be expanded here.
While I understand your concern. You're wrong on a number of fronts.
Firstly, as others have mentioned, you don't really have better options besides (perhaps?) trying to find/call relatives. If you call EMTs they won't report without police (for good reason), if you call a local hospital (of any kind) they will just tell you to call the police.
Thirdly, this is Canada. While I'm sure the level of CIT training penetration in the USA is not ideal, I would imagine that Canadian police are far better and will show up with Canadian bacon and maple syrup and some tim hortons coffee and make it all better.
I would highly suggest reading his book. He goes into this a lot more detail in the book and why systems work better than goals. The reasons are entirely psychological and revolve around tricking your brain into not being discouraged by the occasional and inevitable failure.
That's awesome. Anyone know what they use to take a picture like this? I really love the guy standing next to the (i presume) gigantic gigapixel camera taking a picture on his smart phone.
