Honestly, this is a case of the 'straw that broke the camel's back', he's been on thinner and thinner ice, we've been interpreting his posts in the most charitable possible light but he keeps on going further and further. At this point, our tolerance of him is pretty much zeroed out, but we...

The Boot would like to explain why King Arts got hit. His statement, taken in its totality, was seen as defending a mass-murdering regime, IE Stalinist Soviet Union. Ordinarily this would be a TOS ban, but he left enough wiggle room that instead the Boot smacked him upside the head with a...

Honestly, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the airframe of the 737 MAX, indeed it is better than the equivalent Airbus offerings despite the Airbus A320Neo being far newer. The failure came in the programming of the flight control software, which was outsourced to the same team that...

Actually it's even simpler than that. National Socialism actually was the concept that to bring about 'true socialist utopia' in the world that you had to start within each country, rather than create an international movement. National vrs International. But like all socialist movements...

That was an amendment that failed

Not really, the payments that Germany demanded from France after the Franco-Prussian War were identical, to the cent and accounting for inflation, to those payments extorted out of the German princedoms by Napoleon. The various treaties and such that ended the Napoleonic Wars had France...

We are talking past each other here. I am not saying that I agree with that decision. I am not saying it was the best decision. I am not even saying it was a particularly good decision. I am giving you the calculation behind the decision, none of which comes down to racial disparity despite...

In a perfect world? I agree with you. But this isn't a perfect world. No jury would convict him, if the prosecutor went for a murder rap with jail time, he would have walked out of the court room a free man. Ordinarily the priors of the victim wouldn't matter, however they tend to leak out...

If this case goes to a jury after they hear that the victim was a convicted pedo with a history of abusive behavior? Guy gets off completely, no jury would convict. On that basis, the prosecutor cut a deal and got something, rather than nothing. Is it 'perfect'? No, it's not, but it is what...

I think this is mostly a case of the prosecution looking at the case, looking at the victim's record, and deciding 'there is no freaking way we're getting a conviction for full up murder here' and bailing with a plea deal. May not be ideal, but I think a combination of 'fighting words', lack of...

Yeah, it seems to me to be an application of the old Fighting Words doctrine, not ideal, but I'm not going to get worked up over it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Of course, trust a white supremacist like Whitestrake to try and make this a racial thing, but whatever.

You, Whitestake, are not my 'brother', you are an abhorrent cancer. A pus-filled pustule on the ass of the body politic with no redeeming features whatsoever.

Unless it was somebody trolling Salon...
