This is a bid to place Microsoft above reproach. They get to play the "we did everything in our power to protect privacy" card, while still remaining fully compliant with government back-door policies. Now the media runs with this, and eventually the mindless masses are lulled back to sleep while their rights and freedoms continue to be eroded.
Economics is pseudo-science. I refuse to recognize a man made construct as a valid scientific field. I used to argue with my BBA room-mate, I asserted markets were fixed, he would try to counter with law of demand. HA! Libor scandal, crude prices, utility price fixing honestly I could go on for days.
After being downvoted for a completely innocuous comment on this thread it is apparent that people only want to hear 'textbook' history, so I won't bother adding anything other than to say politics runs roughshod over history all day long. If humans survive another 70 years, I wonder how the history of the War OF Terror's 'coalition of the willing' will be written(whitewashed is probably a more suitable term), tyrants and criminals or liberators?
I guess since we can't all openly stereotype people based on race and religion any longer we'll have to make do with stereotyping the poor. I'd love for you to show me these iPod toting welfare recipients. I'm Canadian, and can assure you that welfare recipients are not living high-on-the-hog. Due to the extremely high cost of living in Canada they are, in fact, quite impoverished http://www.ccsd.ca/factsheets/fs_ncwpl01.htm Great to see another conservative view point buttressed with nothing more than anecdotes. Also, based on your account, by age 10 you and your friends were discussing your parents finances to the point you knew which families were receiving welfare? Seems far fetched.
This is amazing! Take science back from the profiteers. Open source science will benefit mankind greatly, increased proliferation of information accelerates innovation in a profound manner.
Don't be absurd, in what reality can you actually believe any being understanding the nature of the Universe could "live like a hobo" whatever the hell that means. If you were truly intelligent you'd understand money is a man made construct that you've been socially engineered to want above all else as a means to control the masses. You honestly just asserted we're hard-wired to want money, sex, of course, but money, preposterous! I view status much the same, some of the world's most powerful individuals operate in complete anonymity, and couldn't care less about the adoration of serfs! While I don't claim to possess world power, I can assure you I do not seek the adoration of the mindless masses.
I would probably enjoy wealth, yes. However, what I truly desire most would be to understand the Universe. Understand reality. What are we? Are we?(see some of Dr. James Gates work on supersymmetry) So many questions and, it would seem, way too much geopolitical bullshit on this planet to ever truly get any answers.
Festering piles of globalist shit, such as this, don't just disappear. Everyone deluding themselves into believing TPP isn't going to withstand the "scrutiny"(I think we can all agree I'm using this term VERY loosely) of partner nation's respective legislative bodies needs to take an HONEST look at geopolitical history. They didn't negotiate this deal for 5 years, cloaked in secrecy, to let a little thing like feigned democracy stop it. The era of (somewhat)open access to information and free speech that we've enjoyed in North America seems to be drawing to a close.
I realise this is a very cynical comment, but I honestly don't believe even a sufficiently motivated populace would have any recourse at this point.
I see so many comments defending this obscene, blatant, pilfering of the public coffers. Call a spade a spade people, this thing is a massive scam. San Fran must be lousy with greasy wheels.
That is where we are as a society now? Discussing the influence of global organizations on sovereignty is consider conspiracy theory? Every organization I've mentioned has publicly stated mandates, far from conspiracy theory.
I agree people should have the right to determine their own destiny. Earth, however, isn't a free planet. Show me a country with sovereignty and I'll show you the Bilderberg, World Bank, IMF, CFR and the UN. How can any individual truly be free to choose their own destiny when society is constructed on man made conventions such capitalism. I contend that freedom doesn't exist at the state level therefore cannot extend to the individual.
The pharmaceutical industry is just as corrupt as the financial sector. It seems capitalists will be capitalists. A lot of well intentioned companies seem to go this way too. Share holders demand profitable growth, sociopathic execs are brought in and I think the results speak for themselves.
You should share your beliefs with the geoengineers running seeding programs creating algal blooms in the Pacific before they kill the whole fucking thing...
Honestly, when I was 14 I would have thought it was cool as hell to have a realistic looking suitcase bomb if I had the skills to make one.
I am kind of leaning towards this being a publicity stunt, as a digital clock project really wouldn't require much circuitry, wiring or case space(with the result looking nothing like a bomb ). That being said I find it absurd for the child to be detained over any of it.
Smoke some weed and ground yourself, literally ground yourself(run a wire from the ground plug of a wall outlet), while you sleep. Humans are fucking retarded, we have way too much HF radio waves and EMF in our environment now.
Stop changing your post so I can reply lol! That Harvard study is a meta-analysis of seperate 27 studies conducted independently around the world hahaha, perhaps you reside in an area with high fluoridation. I'm not even going to acknowledge a link to metabunk... In closing there are 2 types of people in the world - those who know 2 Boeing 767's can't implode 3 buildings and those that don't.
"Some studies suggested that even slightly increased fluoride exposure could be toxic to the brain. Thus, children in high-fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ scores than those who lived in low-fluoride areas. " - http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/fluoride-childrens...
Sorry to burst your bubble brother, if you don't think solar radiation management("chemtrails") is happening you're wrong again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4s1qNJpko8
Now as for inflation..well I don't think there's much of a conspiracy there.
I'm disconnected from reality? So how do you view the global monetary system working 10 years from now? Will the world be using U.S. petro-dollars? Can the fed print off another hundred TRILLION and avoid hyper-inflation. Like it is all well and good to say I have my head up my ass but can you give me some of these answers?
