Technology implies belligerence.

Technology is a war we wage against nature; technology is a means of asserting ourselves and usurping nature's rule, which is necessarily a violent act.

Replace democrats with Rural White Landowners and you would be right.

For that same price you can get an entry level Cessna or Robinson that doesn't have the flight characteristics of a brick.

We've had flying cars for decades - they're called helicopters, and they crash all the time. Seen many self driving helicopters? No? Wonder why?

He won the popular vote. Step foot outside an urban area and you'll see that his popular support isn't just an illusion.

There's a floor of around 38% of Americans who are going to hold that line to the death. They've lost friends, family, and businesses over their stance already and haven't budged. This has been going on for ten years now. They're in it til the end.

Nobody here misinterpreted it except the purists who did it intentionally to troll, show off and talk down to people.

Tell that to northern Ireland, Scotland, Gibraltar, French Guiana or Polynesia.

Both countries still have overseas territories all over the world. It doesn't matter how hard you, they or anyone else tries to legitimize those colonies, that's still what they are.

Why were the French using the Polynesian islands as nuclear testing grounds up through 1996? Would the French government be so lax with testing in their own country? No - that's why they did it in a colony with 200,000 brown people instead.

I have no idea why. But I'm sure trump's DOJ will be releasing new guidelines shortly that back up what their boss is saying, sans any provable evidence.

No I understand what en masse means. I just don't subscribe to your inflexible interpretation.

Language is a tool for communication. It's for the masses, not something to be gate kept or preserved by the priests of lingual orthodoxy. If the words you use convey the intended meaning to the listener, then the wording is adequate.

If everyone's use of language was as rigid as the people insisting we can only use the phrases as they existed when they were imported to an English court by a Norman conqueror a thousand years ago, then we'd all still be communicating by banging rocks together and grunting. The English language evolves every day. It's alive.
