Go fuck yourself.

The truth is the truth whether you like it or not.

Clearly you haven't lived in close proximity to these people.

They trickle in, respect no boundaries and no laws.

Now if they integrated and contributed to the regions culture and economy, that would go a long way towards their acceptance. But that's against the tenents of their religion/culture/ideology and it's demonstrated by their violence.

I'd quote Karl Popper on tolerating the intolerant, but it would be another "weak argument."

You can't drag people who insist on living by pre-medieval norms into the 21st century.

They are Bangladeshi Muslims, much like the "Assamese" flooding the labor market in South India right now.

Get ready for your comment to be down voted into oblivion, the usual reaction by ignorant SJWs. This place is getting to be as toxic as Reddit.

Anyone who understand Bengali should listen to the "Rohingya" language. The similarities are unmistakable, even if you can't understand either.

If they really have been in that area since the 8th century - an assertion made by Soros' HRW, and mindlessly repeated by the media - you'd expect the language to diverge a lot more.

They are clearly not native to Myanmar.

Also, it's conveniently forgotten that they triggered the latest spurt of violence by attacking Buddhist and Hindu citizens.

It's odd how suddenly this is the latest humanitarian crisis.

Nothing to do with oil and gas pipelines, I'm sure. Unlike Syria, Iraq, Libya and so on.

Call me cynical but I don't see the international community - code for US interests - caring about people in resource poor regions.

Wonder what would happen if NK suddenly was found to have oil fields ...

I agree. Not only is it the fastest, it's also the most reliable. I have Firefox thrashing about more often than not, and I refuse to use Chrome or its google infected variants.

Brave seems promising but doesn't yet have extensions.

Safari may be broken but it's not as broken as ie6 was back in the day.

There's no if about this. He's obviously gearing up for standing for election.

Looking at the last two candidates, who can blame him? One a has-been with dubious morals and the other an impulsive unrealistic do-gooder.

As for Facebook helping him? Duh. Anyone familiar with this guy and his company knows that he'll do literally anything to get what he wants.

You think trump is bad? Wait until you see President Zuck.

I might have forgiven them if they had gone USB C.

But they launched the 7 without a jack and the latest MacBooks without USB A so their latest phone couldn't connect to the latest MacBook without a single.

I know - lightning to USB A makes sense for legacy laptops but still. It was a bizarre decision, one that I doubt Jobs would have made.

And the NSA is trustworthy. Okay then.

The first I've heard of this. Any citations?

Microsoft and Google are definitely vectors both for themselves and as puppets for the US govt.

Apple isn't there yet, but who knows when they'll be compromised.

The NYT had been quite biased for a long time. I think the last time they did any real journalism was during the first major Wikileaks story - the one where Greenwald played a big part.

The communities already there appear to be as toxic as reddit, so good job. I guess.

Can concur. I spent 5 years dealing with a German company and the obsession with spreadsheets, processes and plans for the most trivial of projects lead to major overruns.

They're very good at creating big organisations but don't have a clue when it comes to quick and dirty throwaway projects.

Not everything needs to be a BMW.

The Paris attacks were coordinated by plain text SMS.

This is just propaganda designed to lead to curbs on encryption.

They won't focus on the real reason for modern terrorism, which is a certain abhorrent fascist ideology masquerading as a religion.

That's pretty much what happens to de facto monopolies.

I've heard much the same about Microsoft's program managers.

Why would anyone go back?

That cop belongs in jail. People who enforce the law should be held to higher standards.

But he'll get paid leave, and will be back once it all blows over.

After buying a number of apple accessories, I've come to the conclusion that Apple treats them as disposable items.

I've upgraded from the Apple 1 through 3 and then switched to the Fire stick.

Airport Express? Got a number of those AND an old XP machine to configure them since Apple abandoned support on macOS.

Their routers don't do WDS with other routers.

When the 7 came out without a headphone jack, it was the last straw. I don't know what I'll buy when my 5s dies, but it's not going to be an iPhone.
