explicit consent as in "are you 18?" in random porn sites?

This... might be a good thing. We need less kids on the internet.
>>9218
I'm sorry, but as a teenager who grew up on the internet into the adult he is today, I wouldn't have survived if I didn't have the internet
hazard a guess that applies to you too
this is the most basic type of censorship, in my opinion, and it's completely abhorrent
teenagers need to be given the freedom to explore their own minds, and these days. the internet is fucking crucial in doing that
if you don't give them that freedom, you condemn them

“Obama is a Socialist!”
lol ya rite
“Look how great our president is, he’s so cool when he plays basketball! :-)”
fucking scumbag
A Wikileaks post published on The Nation shows that the Obama Administration fought to keep Haitian wages at 31 cents an hour.
(This article was taken down by The Nation due to an embargo, but it was excerpted at Columbia Journalism Review.)
It started when Haiti passed a law two years ago raising its minimum wage to 61 cents an hour. According to an embassy cable:
This infuriated American corporations like Hanes and Levi Strauss that pay Haitians slave wages to sew their clothes. They said they would only fork over a seven-cent-an-hour increase, and they...

I feel like saying it was the Obama administration is kind of disingenuous though, isn't it? If what the report says is true then it was the State Department, and then only a few well connected individuals out of that.
Just trying to moderate the vitriol :P
Eh, they still got an increase. Sure it's shit, but I'm not too inclined to shed any tears for people taking jobs that should be going to US workers.
Okay, here some people debating about how to run the nation. They seem pretty serious about things so it's good to give them a listen, right/

"RIYADH: Saudi Arabia announced yesterday the formation of a military coalition of 34 countries to fight “terrorism” in the Islamic world, in the latest sign of a more assertive foreign policy by the kingdom. The regional Sunni power said the alliance would share intelligence, combat violent ideology and deploy troops if necessary. “Nothing is off the table. A number of countries are in desperate need of assistance,” Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said. “Terrorism has hit Islamic countries. It is time that the Islamic world takes a stand,” he told reporters in Paris..."

Looks like the Islamic world is finally standing up. I've always said it should be Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia who need to do something about the rise of extremists. Western countries bombing only leads to future recruits against us friends and families get killed by proximity. Seeing their fellow Muslims fighting against extremism way help Daesh lose some momentum.
Yes, and their first target is Mecca

Uh, isn't Saudi Arabia founded on an extremist interpretation of Islam? Don't they behead people for apostasy and "sorcery"?

I don't think a Mars colony could be self-sustaining in the near future.
If we set it up and then WW3 turns us anti-technology, then the Martians would be fucked.
>>8806
How about Venus? We get a couple of big space shields in the right spot then hydrate Venus atmosphere then we'll have Earth 2 way faster than trying for Mars...
>>8808
Self-sustaining includes food, air conditioning and lots of other complicated stuff that on Earth requires many specialized factories that are spread out over a large area plus huge fields to grow the resources.
Now you're going to tell me you're going to have them built on hovering platforms on Venus within the next 100 or so years?

Worked for a net neutrality activist group for a while, there are people assigned in different activist groups to sift through these bills and see if they tried to put another rider in there since it's become such a common thing. Of course there always is one, and of course it's one in a fuckton of other riders. It's just the net neutrality camp that makes the most noise about it.
That does fortunately call to attention the existence of riders, which are bullshit because these legislators don't know how to pass laws like proper lawmakers -- but hey,...

That wouldn't have happened if he hadn't driven such a piece of shit car.
Technology is amazing the windshell only broke where the metal beam went trought a normal glass would have scattered into pieces and the driver could had his throat cut by one small piece and died.

Anonymous Declares War On Donald Trump

Is anyone else a bit amused at how media in general doesn't understand what Anonymous is? Yes, we've all had a few chuckles, but "Anonymous" as it currently stands has been around for a decade now. Are they intentionally doing it at this point? Since anyone at all can claim to be in Anonymous, many people's responses come off as ignorant.

I'm surprised Anonymous hasn't declared war on cancer and poverty yet.
the anonymous hacker team was caught years ago you newfag, calling yourself anonymous now is just an easy way to make other faggots support your message, faggots who want to be vocal about how they're in a SPOOKY internet club at that.

>"Multikulti ist eine Lebenslüge"
She didn't even say multiculturalism. She said multiculti, which devalues the concept that she is talking about. Basically, her choice of words already implies that she has a less than stellar opinion on the concept.
Also, ignore the part about the CSU at the end. The CSU constantly throws wrenches around just to stay in the limelight. There is a reason as to why...

I wouldn't read to much into it, anon. It seems more like a poorly-disguised and lazy attempt to appease the justifiably-upset German citizens than a sincere statement to me. Keep in my mind she said the same shit back in 2010. Expectedly, the media hype machine mystified it as some sort of ominous "big change to come" omen concerning Germany's future immigration policy.
Fast forward from when that statement was made in 2010 to 2014, or 4,651,132 [1] new cases of multiculturalism later. What's...

If she knows it's a sham, why did she just insist that her country take a million people of which hundreds of thousands will not assimilate? She basically just guaranteed that Germany will have two incompatible parallel societies going forward.

You obviously don't understand the german language; "Multikulti" is the term commonly used for multiculturalism by now. And even if, how would that matter?
