News and Infos
Terms and Conditions, Terms of Use
Terms and Conditions Version: November 2014
§ 1 Terms and definitions
Application. The online application available on the internet under the domain names "Busni.de" accessible to subscribers identified by username and password.
Developer. The application has been developed and published by: Enbekon DataServices GmbH, Lilienthalstr. 3, 82178 Puchheim Germany, Registergericht: München, HRB 204798, Ust-IdNr: DE288900409
The developer keeps all the rights on the Application.
Public data & information sources. All data presented in the application are exclusively obtained from publicly accessible sources, the most frequently used sources of information being the German Company Register (www.unternehmensregister.de), the German Federal Gazette (www.bundesanzeiger.de) and Company Websites (mainly pages with imprint and/or contact data). The data gathered from the publicly accessible sources have neither been altered, nor have they been verified with regard to their completeness, accuracy or timeliness.
Purpose. The Application enables the user to retrieve information gathered from public accessible sources and to search the compiled public data.
Keywords. The Developer marks, extracts and indexes specific parts of the gathered data in order to provide better search possibilities. The extracted data items shall be considered as keywords only. The keywords aim at facilitating the search in the information and data obtained from publicly accessible sources and shall not be interpreted or used without consulting the original data from the original source of data.
Users & Accounts. The Application can be used by subscribers only. Every subscriber has an account, which can have one or more users licensed to use the Application. At least one of the users must be administrator of the account. The administrator manages users and their limitations and is responsible for all users under the same account.
Subscription period is the term in which all users from one account can access the Application against payment. The subscription contract shall be entered into for a fixed term, whereas the duration of the term depends on the selected subscription option. The minimum subscription period is six months.
Database. The Application is based on the database that is composed of two sub-databases which are kept and maintained separately. Users Database is designated for the users and their accounts. Users are permitted to alter data stored in the Users Database. Public Database is designated for public data. Data stored in the Public Database cannot be modified by any user.
Language. The application is made in German and most of the features are translated into English, but the original public documents are available in the language in which the data are stored in the official registry.
Links. The application includes a feature that aims at visualizing links between companies. The displayed links are based on shared characteristics of the linked companies (e.g. identical address, identical management, web links) that have been identified from the publicly available data. The displayed links do not represent the legal and organizational structures among the companies. The feature is to be understood as search tool only, helping users to find companies that share some common keywords or features.
Rankings. In order to provide users to search public records in efficient way, some keywords have been constructed in the form of ranking-numbers. These ranks are designed for statistical purpose only and do not demonstrate any evaluation of the company or its economic capabilities. Although all rankings are calculated by sophisticated mathematical algorithms, errors cannot be excluded.
§ 2 Scope of service
The service rendered by the Developer consists of the grant of access to the Application. The Application provides the User with a means to search, to access and to export publicly accessible data, information and documents relating to businesses, enterprises and companies. The data, information and documents that are accessible via the Application are obtained exclusively from publicly accessible sources. The Developer compiles the data and information from public records, public registries or company websites (e.g. company publications, balances, financial statements, contact details), links the gathered data, makes them searchable and holds the data available for retrieval and export. The data presented in the Application have been taken over unaltered from the publicly accessible sources. The Developer does not verify any of the data with regard to their completeness, accuracy or timeliness.
The Application allows searches for most of the data fields in the public records, including search by Keywords within the balances, other financial statements and other public documents.
Most of the public documents presented in the Application are transferred from the public sources automatically. The Developer exercises reasonable care and diligence to compile, process and present the data made available via the Application. Despite reasonable care being exercised, errors cannot be excluded. Therefore, the Developer does not guarantee and is not responsible for the quality, the completeness, the accuracy or the timeliness of data presented in the Application.
Each User can use the Application on one device only at the same time and is not allowed to use any software or electronic device that will access the data automatically.
The Application is designed for use by natural persons only. The User is not permitted to deploy robots, crawlers or any other automated programs to access, retrieve, search or export the data. The default user limit is set up for 500 searches per day without any restriction. After exceeding this number of views, the User will still be able to access data but with few seconds delay time, for a period of the next 24 hours.
§ 3 User registration
Registration in the Application is required for usage against payment, including all searches and data export. Registration is exclusively via the web address "Busni.de" and the following minimum information shall be provided to access the Application:
Company name (Account) and the name of all users within an account (Users)
Head office address (for the Account billing)
Electronic postal address (of all Users)
Telephone number (of the administrator of the Account)
The user will receive the access data (username and the initial password) electronically.
By registering and accessing the Application the User accepts the application of these Terms of Use.
§ 4 Security / Data protection
Failed registrations and all retrievals may be documented in order to recognize and prevent abusive access to the Application and for the basic functionality of the application. Retrievals may furthermore be documented insofar as this is required for invoicing and collection of charges.
The data retrieved in this way may be utilized for the purposes of social network functionality, and other advanced search options.
In order to increase transparency, by accepting these Terms of Use, the User agrees to share the data retrieved as well as information of searches with the other registered accounts which they searched, so that the latter can identify the company conducting the search and retrace the time of the search.
The data retrieved is concerning the Account-level information only and not available for the personal searches at the User-level, and as such these records do not contain any personal information, but the company-to-company records only.
§ 5 Subscriptions, orders and invoicing
Registration in accordance with § 3 is required for all users of the Application.
With purchase of a license in online ordering and payment process, the user receives an invoice.
The subscription contract shall be entered into for a fixed term. The minimum subscription period is six months.
For the duration of the selected subscription period the right to ordinary termination is excluded for both parties. Either party's right to extraordinarily terminate the subscription contract for important reasons shall remain unaffected. The subscription will expire automatically at the end of the agreed licence period. No active cancellation is needed. Users will be reminded prior to expiration to activly prolong the subscription.
The Subscription Period starts with acceptance of the order by the Developer and receipt of the access data by the User.
Once the order is submitted and the credentials were provided, the can use the application in a limited version (trial, single user license, no data export). After receipt of payment, the full version is released.
If the license fee cannot be paid through the payment gateway, the developer may temporarily lock the account and exclude the user from accessing the Application.
§ 6 Accessibility and data correction
The Application is accessible only via the Internet on a Desktop computer or laptops with the resolutions 1.024 x 768 pixels or higher.
The supported Internet browsers are two latest editions of Chrome (Google), Firefox (Mozilla), Internet Explorer (Microsoft) and Safari (Apple).
The Developer will make appropriate efforts to ensure the accessibility of the Application. Maintenance and servicing work can lead to temporary restrictions in the accessibility of the service. The data are regularly updated on weekends and during that period some difficulties with access can appear. Access problems, especially due to maintenance or upgrades, shall as far as possible be announced with reasonable notice.
The User bears the sole responsibility for the internet and telecommunications infrastructure used to access the Application as well as for the proper maintenance of the requisite soft- and hardware.
The Developer is not responsible for technical problems (e.g. line disruptions, power cuts and other problems in relation with the internet and telecommunications infrastructure) or for other circumstances (e.g. war, strike, floods, restrictions imposed by the state) beyond the Developer's control.
The Developer does not provide an option to correct the public data, as it is has to be corrected in the public source.
The administrator of an Account can correct the contact and reference data of the Account. The correction of such data is enabled in the Application directly or by a written statement to the Developer.
§ 7 Liability
Without prejudice to the following provisions in this Section 7 the Developer shall be liable without limitation for damages arising from intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty, for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health and for damages according to the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz).
In the event of slightly negligent breach of essential contractual duties (vertragswesentliche Pflichten) the Developer's liability shall be limited to the typical foreseeable damage. Essential contractual duties are such duties the fulfilment of which is indispensable for the proper performance of the contract and on whose observance the User may rely. Apart from that, any liability for slight negligence is excluded.
The liability related provisions above shall apply also mutatis mutandis to legal representatives, employees and other vicarious agents and/or assistants of the Developer.
§ 8 Data export and unauthorized use of data, penalty clause
The Application enables Users to export data.
When exploiting the address data provided in the Application Users are obligated to comply with all applicable legal provisions, in particular those of data protection and competition law, on their own responsibility.
Exported data is reserved for Users' own use. Unless otherwise agreed, only one use is permitted. Any other use or transfer to third parties constitutes improper use of data.
For each case of abusive use by infringing the Terms of Use the User has to pay to the Developer a penalty in the amount of ten times the net price of the subscription fee. If the event of electronic abuse of data (unauthorized access to the data) by infringing the Terms of Use, the User has to pay to the Developer for every case of an electronic abuse of data a contractual penalty, the amount of which will be determined by the Developer at his sole discretion for each case of an infringement and which in case of a dispute can be revised by the competent court (in the amount up to € 100,000.00 – one hundred thousand euros). Developer's right to claim further damages remains unaffected.
§ 9 Public area
The Public Area is the part of the Application that can be accessed without username credentials.
All visitors accept these Terms of Use and the Privacy Statement and are allowed to use the application in accordance to these documents.
Data found in the Public Area are free to use, but with the clearly marked source: "Busni.de".
If data used is published electronically (on some other web sites) source mark must contain a hyperlink to the Application: https://www.busni.de/.
§ 10 Miscellaneous
Modifications and amendments to these Terms of Use shall only be effective when provided in text form (pursuant to Section 126b German Civil Code (BGB)); this shall also apply for any abolition of this text form requirement. Oral subsidiary agreements do not exist.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms of Use shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, and any such invalid or un-enforceable provision shall be deemed to be severable.
German law shall exclusively apply; the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded.
If the Developer's contract partner is a merchant, a legal person under public law or a fund under public law, the place of performance and jurisdiction shall be Munich, Germany, for both parties.

I get that that's in the context since I hopped in, I think, between you and Gloominary. For me picking on the rurals is problematic because it helps those with real power. They love to see us in factions. I can't quite tell if Trump is one of the real core of power, but a kid of black sheep in that group or from an extreme faction in there, or an outsider to the core elite who nevertheless is like them in many ways. The neo cons came out against him in a way they never did against the Clintons or Obama. Though that could have been smoke and mirrors.

Serendipper wrote: Why should I have sympathy for the arrogant? That was the position of the woman on the Richard Dawkings video I posted. She asked why we don't include diversity of ability, implying we should let underqualified people have a go just to be nice and spare their feelings. And I might go along with that if the applicant were at least humble. I don't have anything against uneducated people, but only the arrogant uneducated who assert what they don't know, or even tried to know, and even go as far as supposing themselves innately smarter, by virtue of common sense, than those who have worked their ass off all their lives studying that very thing. Where do they get their balls and why should I feel sorry for them?
Well this is complicated, but it's like beating on the dust bunnies that are stirred up by the tiger stalking through your bedroom. And you are vastly more in danger from highly educated people. Both their idiocies and their consciously chosen unpleasant changes. You are vastly more threatened by the very smart people making AI, gm products and processes, nano-tech, increasing surveillance, crushing whisteblowers, using the best cognitive scientist to sell products and sway the public, etc. Technocrats who don't really give a fuck about politics except to the extent that it gets in the way of them transforming the world, or you could say the corporations around them and the connected political guiders sitting behind both parties. You are attacking people whose positions are very much the fault of experts with good educations. And sometimes these people with less education will sense bullshit where the highly educated will not. Take them out of the picture and we are more at the mercy of the people with real power, even if they get used by real power. They were right. They needed something which was outside. Something the liberals and other educated conservatives cannot admit or notice. They were wrong to think Trump was that something.
So we can laugh at, hate and batter and feel smug in relation to the unwashed masses, or we could consider that they noticed something better than other groups did. And their hope blinded them to what Trump is. If other groups had respected their reactions more, things might have actually gone in another direction.
It helps no one to call them names and feel smug about it.

You obviously haven't given much thought to what would have happened to the south if they had won the war. It's a relative shithole now with low wages and republican leadership, but imagine if slavery were legal: it would be worse than mexico.
I couldn't care less, every state/province should have the right to determine its own destiny.
The federal government should be minimally involved in state/provincial affairs.
Yes, it's going to happen. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-01- ... ng-naivete
No what's happening is we're in the beginning stages of a mass extinction event, where the best and worst case scenarios are: either civilization will collapse, or humanity will go extinct, if we don't begin greening, powering down, re-localizing and re-wilding our economies and societies immediately, at least in part if not in full.
Liberals, conservatives and libertarians are fundamentally on board with political and/or economic expansion, with globalization, they only differ in the details, which's why I don't really identify with either of them.
For me, the dichotomy is localization vs globalization, not liberal and conservative.
Forget about growth, we're heading for decline within the next century.
We've overextended ourselves, and either we're going to decline somewhat gracefully, or plummet, those're the only two options available to us now.
Inevitably we're going to see a mass exodus from the city to the countryside.

@Seredipper
Not me. They make the ones capitalizing off the community pay for that.
I wouldn't say the middle class and small business owners are capitalizing off the community.
You mean by not beating the kids or teaching them the earth is 6000 yrs old?
I mean they'll kidnap your children for spanking them, for not giving your infant dozens of vaccinations, for not feeding them Ritalin and other psychotropics, for not teaching them there're 75 genders and paying for their sex change...
I'm not aware of forced medication. Pretty much every conservative I know has a basket of pill bottles.
I am for partly or fully nationalized healthcare, but it should be more diversified and holistic.
Give people healthier and more choices, instead of making the pharmaceutical companies richer.
That doesn't affect me.
The most qualified person/demographic should get the job(s), not the most intersectionalized.
I'm worried about women in power, but other than that, I don't care.
So sexism, ageism and geographism are okay?
Yet you can't fathom why people are worried about minorities in power, that they might be disloyal, anti-Christian and anti-white, especially since liberals are indoctrinating them to believe whites are solely responsible for all the evils of the world, that we invented classism, racism, sexism, slavery and genocide out of our black hearts, that the world was a proverbial garden of Eden before the white snake materialized, a pristine paradise where all peoples lived in harmony with one another and with nature.
I don't mind that there're some minorities in power, but they shouldn't be artificially propped up, they shouldn't be filled with anti-white ideas, and I'd prefer it if whites maintained our majority in power, even if minorities weren't hostile to us, altho I understand why that's not a concern for some people.
As for white women, I don't care if 50% or more of them are in positions of power, so long as they're not misandrists.
and if the extremists ever got in charge, who knows, they might ban meat
I'll never live to see it.
Well millennials and generation z might.
or ban religion, like they did in the Soviet Union,
This demonstrates how little you think of freedom of speech and democracy.
or ban hateful religions, like the Abrahamic ones, or castrate abhorrent men, or burn white people in ovens.
I'm not seeing that.
I don't see it either, at least not right now, but if things ever come to a head...
The internet. People are too well-connected and well-informed to be bamboozled like that.
I guess we don't have to worry about fascists and Nazis coming to power either, thanks to the internet.
Someone should tell the left, because their amygdalas are raging.
I suppose we're at the end of history now, thanks to the internet, we no longer have to worry about dictatorship, or world war, or economic or environmental catastrophe.
That's what they said about Rome too, and they said it about the titanic.
And never mind that the internet is being massively censored by the left, which gets us back to the OP, but of course we have nothing to fear, there are no extremists or power mad tyrants on the left, that's just science fiction dreamt up by wingnuts, not history.
So one group wants to kill them and the other wants to prop them up? I'll side with the propers.
They imprisoned and killed millions of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Pagans and other dissidents in the Soviet Union, perhaps the new left will kill millions of whites and men in the North American Union, if they ever manage to completely depose the right, which's what many of you are praying for.
The only ones in their crosshairs are the arrogant white boomers. No one else gives a hoot.
No one should be in anyone's crosshairs, but increasingly we're seeing a radicalized left calling for bloodshed.
More and more we're becoming a divisive, polarized, volatile society, which doesn't bode well for democracy.
The right has a moral foundation and the left asserts that having a moral foundation is itself immoral. The right is on crusade against sin and the left is on crusade against those on crusade against sin.
Yea, the left is forced economic, political and social inclusivity, the right is forced economic, political and social exclusivity, and libertarianism is the absence of force.
But here's the caveat: the people you're forced to include, may decide to forcefully exclude, or eliminate you altogether, when finally given the opportunity.
We're seeing more and more of it, it's not okay to attack or exclude someone, unless they're white, or male, or hetero, or Christian, or rural, than it's okay, no matter how liberal they are, and God forbid if they're all of the above, than it's okay to string em up.
How bout it's not okay to attack and exclude anyone?
Well that's not good enough for them.
Where will liberals finally draw the line?
We can always do more.
We can make white people sit at the back of the bus.
Why, for a liberal, would that be immoral?
They can always make the argument: reparations.
How do we repay African Americans for several centuries of slavery?
How do we repay Native Americans for supposed genocide and stealing their land?

I think the smarties need to see the gold in the core of the rurals reactions and choice of Trump, because the people with educations are not feeling that something much more fundamental is fucked up. They may have hated Clinton, but they did not get that the options being thrown at them are not democratic options and are fundamentally dangerous to us all. The highly educated, most of them, will say the US is a democracy. Those who don't are marginalized. The dummies are willing to say this in large groups.
It's like ignoring messages from the body or unconscious that seem irrational. We crave something or to feel the urge scream or feel like there is something wrong with work, in general, or cellphone use. The body and the unconscious throws up a solution - sugar say - to how we feel. We can get smug and lecture on the problems sugar causes in the body, but the thinky parts of the brain were thinking today was generally OK. And the body and the unconscious know that to live, it needs more. Sugar or Trump might not have been the solution, but the thinky brain was chugging along not noticing how fucking dead and killing everyday life was. And it comes up with all sorts of reasons to not express emotions or to not find it odd that every single person, regardless of age on the commuter train was staring in their smart phone for the whole trip.
There's a split between the thinky brain and true intelligence which incorporates the so called irrational, which is only irrational because it is cut off from the light and judged and shoved down.
Just like rural people. We can point out where they went wrong, or we can see that they felt something correct that other factions did not get. Maybe you did and do, but then you are in an extreme minority amongst the educated people. People who w ould never consider that the mainstream expert consensus might be fucked to the bone.
I have to say I can't get a hold on it. They might have been pretending. He might be from a more radical faction within the elite. He might be someone who has fucked the world over in parallel to the elite, but is not on board with their agenda. Like and idiot cousin who by mistake inherits the family farm.
Well this is complicated, but it's like beating on the dust bunnies that are stirred up by the tiger stalking through your bedroom. And you are vastly more in danger from highly educated people.

Yes and you recognize all that and you aren't republican. That's pretty much my point here: republicans are too damn stupid to be in government. Only smarties can regulate smarties.
Democratic senators are twice as likely as republicans to be in the top 1% of cognitive ability https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog ... n-congress
You are attacking people whose positions are very much the fault of experts with good educations.
But I don't think their arrogance is the fault of educators.
And sometimes these people with less education will sense bullshit where the highly educated will not.
Even if I concede that, I still don't think it would offset their deficiencies. A 12 yr old has faster reaction times, but still can't drive a car.
How is it that knowing less things translates into sensing bullshit?
Take them out of the picture and we are more at the mercy of the people with real power, even if they get used by real power. They were right. They needed something which was outside. Something the liberals and other educated conservatives cannot admit or notice. They were wrong to think Trump was that something.
The elites hate bernie more than trump because he'd neuter them with taxes and regulation. The trumptards are the biggest obstacle to electing bernie.
If we had a social liberal / economic conservative vs a social liberal / economic liberal, which one would the trumptards vote for? They'd support 3 bathrooms with no welfare. Because the prime directive is being sure people don't get anything that they don't deserve.
Try arguing against climate change and then advocate minimum wage on a political forum and see which group calls you names. Try it. I did. Not one liberal called me a name. Not one conservative didn't.
The way I figure it, the conservatives will just laugh that I think they're stupid because the ego is invincible, the liberals will agree with me, and the ones on the fence will probably not want to be associated with the side that looks stupid. No feelings have been injured in the making of this post
So you're saying we need trump to crash the economy to reveal the fundamental problems? I agree! If Biden and Trump is my choice, I'm voting Trump. I doubt it will do any good, but that's my plan.
That seems zen.
I see what you're saying. The people in WV are good example: poor coal miners and appalachians. All 55 counties voted for bernie over clinton, but clinton was selected by the delegates. Then they voted trump in the main election. All the people know is that they do not want what they had before (ie no clinton politician types).
How can the elites be responsible for propagating climate change propaganda while simultaneously supporting a candidate with serious intentions of exposing it as propaganda?
I knew hillary would win the election. It just made sense to have a woman after a black man. When trump won, that blew away any suspicion I had that the election was rigged.

What you essentially said is "the undemocratically appointed officials should have the right to prostitute the people if they want." I'm sure people would be free to move to another state, but not the poor. So it's like a prison colony where people are forced to work for little pay or face starvation and their only crime was not having the financial resources to move to a state where assholes weren't running things. That's kinda how the south is now.
Yeah, Jefferson thought that too, until he became president and realized those idealistic fantasies don't work in reality. The ONLY reason to have states is to have pockets of poor to pillage. Detroit exists in the condition that it does specifically so the Hamptons can exist in the condition it does.
The only reason not to have one big planet government is to preserve shithole countries being a source of cheap labor. You haven't pondered into this deeply enough.
By what mechanism?
I figured we'd evolve into a beehive lol

I won't say your plan is wrong. How would I know the way to break to something categorically better. But, lol, it wasn't what I was saying.
I got overlaps with Zen.
I liked that the right often brought up Bernie and how he and his voters were treated. I am sure this was mainly to bash the left for not being fair, but it ended up being respectful. LIke it sounded like on some level they appreciated that portion of the left for NOT wanting a usual candidate. And they could identify with the way Bernie and his voters were treated. A little sliver of cross the divide respect, even if there was a less worthy agenda in sounding that praise, at least for some.
I tend to NOT think of the elite as a bunch of buddies. I think they have internal power struggles and likely different approaches to very similar goals. None of them gives a shit about most of humanity. They all want privitization of everything including air. But tactics and strategies may differ. It's a pack of komodo dragons. And mammal will get torn to pieces, but it's not like they are all mister lovey dovey with eachother.
I was surprised. I mean, Trump went on infowars. But I don't think of it like the elite has perfect power. They are herding cats like everyone else. It's just they are in the position to choose the candidates most of the time. They can rig, but perhaps not perfectly. This is where I differ from what the mainstream media present as the conspiracy theorist. What I am saying here and above this. They do not have perfect control. They do not necessarily at all like each other, though the share similar goals and attitudes. And also that many of the people who are with them are confused, think they are helping humanity, are just selfish pricks and other categories that allow them to align. I also think the elites are pressed these days. More underlying bullshit is coming out in the air.

Shit rolls downhill and money flows up. The middle class is capitalizing off the community, but not as much as the rich. I ran a small business for 10 years and the taxes were just too much for the work I did, but I did make quite a lot of profit from employees and I paid much more than minimum and it was under the table (so I paid their taxes at my higher rate). Small business deserves a break, but not let off the hook totally. I go by the axiom advanced by FDR that no business which depends for its existence on paying substandard wages has any right to continue in this country. If you have a business model that can't make a profit without slave wages, then it's a lousy business model and such inefficiencies shouldn't be supported by the community or even allowed to exist.
Ok, you have a good point there lol. I'm not for that at all. But most people want to vaccinate, most don't spank, and is ritalin still prescribed? Just tell the kid to flush it. One thing about liberal authoritarianism is it's usually easy to ignore. Ban guns? Ok, fine with me since I lost all mine in a tragic boating accident. That will go over like banning weed did.
I forgot the context and don't feel like scrolling lol
I don't know where you're going with that, but I just worry about women being in power because it would be like mom having rule over my life. If left up the her, I'd be in a cage for my protection. Women value security more than liberty (since no balls). Sorry ladies, but I don't want your irrational fears imposed on me.
Yet you can't fathom why people are worried about minorities in power, that they might be disloyal, anti-Christian and anti-white,
I am anti-christian, but the problem is the minorities are more christian than the whites lol
especially since liberals are indoctrinating them to believe whites are solely responsible for all the evils of the world, that we invented classism, racism, sexism, slavery and genocide out of our black hearts,
Not true? lol
Like I said, I think the problem is the white boomers. The latest Stephen Colbert show exemplified that:

I don't have much concern over skin color, but more about iq and sex.
They probably won't care.
No, we could talk about religion: how bad it is lol. We just couldn't practice it (if it's banned, but I don't see that happening).
Some theist asked Christopher Hitchens "What is the source of evil?" Without hesitation he replied "Religion!" The audience burst out in laughter.
But you were inquiring about the future. Trump was elected by the people "most offline" https://slate.com/technology/2018/07/th ... finds.html
But those folks are moving into nursing homes and otherwise being prohibited from voting as time moves on. So if some future fascist fancies taking power, all that's needed is for someone to post a twitter meme that goes viral to foil his fantasy.
Yes, I wish I could tell them that.
Yes, we're progressing. Once slavery was a thing and women couldn't vote and such, but we've moved on and former concerns are seen as ridiculous today.
A lot has changed since rome.
As far as I can tell, they are only censoring dumbassery. I don't advocate any censorship, but the right asked for it by refusing to regulate corps; they exterminated themselves. Even Tucker Carlson advocated making google a public utility right on fox news, but conservatives wanted nothing to do with it.
I have a tough time imagining bernie throwing jews in ovens. Or Ocasio. Or Elizabeth Warren.
Yeah that's pretty stupid.
You're forgetting that half that polarization will be gone in 20-30 years.
Libertarianism is like leaving the door unlocked because of the belief that thieves do not exist. If the people don't make for themselves a government to secure their rights, then someone will become that government and enslave them.
We have dummies driving the bus and you're more worried about offending them by calling them dummies rather than the fact that they are? The ones getting attacked are attacked for attacking the poor, sick, coloreds, homos, etc.
I think they just want to create the illusion of equality to acclimate everyone to it and I guess the only way to do that is to knock a few white guys out of an opportunity. The ends justify the means I suppose and there aren't many people complaining.
Liberals are philosophically amoral.
Idk, start by ending slavery?
Not much sympathy for those savages.
In order to get real change, we need real pain. No pain no gain. Biden and centrists like Obama will make compromises that fix nothing and will only marginally increase the size of the scraps falling from the table while the rich continue having big meals.
The right has integrity, but that's dual edged sword.
Yeah I guess so but they all seem to be riding the climate change bandwagon... probably because they know that's their best strategy to win voters. "Free shit" isn't enough, especially since they're light on the free shit, so they need to instill "you either vote for us or the world will end in 12 years!" It's a fabricated crisis like Trump's immigration emergency, as if 40-50 years of immigrants pouring over the border was ok and suddenly now someone decides to close the barn door.
I was surprised. I mean, Trump went on infowars. But I don't think of it like the elite has perfect power. They are herding cats like everyone else. It's just they are in the position to choose the candidates most of the time. They can rig, but perhaps not perfectly. This is where I differ from what the mainstream media present as the conspiracy theorist. What I am saying here and above this. They do not have perfect control.
I wonder that too. They can influence, but not totally control.
They do not necessarily at all like each other, though the share similar goals and attitudes. And also that many of the people who are with them are confused, think they are helping humanity, are just selfish pricks and other categories that allow them to align. I also think the elites are pressed these days. More underlying bullshit is coming out in the air.
Could be, but climate change seems to band most of them together.

YouTube Tweaks Recommendations Algorithm To Block Videos By Flat Earthers, 9/11 Truthers https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-01- ... 1-truthers
Sorry but YouTube got this one right. Don't feed the delusions.
Why did they link Flat Earth with 9/11 conspiracy types? Delusion is the common denominator.
HA HA HA HA HA HA you support CENSORING THE INTERNET?!!!!
People who support censoring the Internet are the reason Jesus Christ warmed up the gas chambers.
This is not censoring
This is a service choosing what they want to provide
And it's free
I'm not sure how I feel about this one.
I suppose it will be like going back to the days before the internet existed when none of this conspiracy stuff existed, or the only way to discover it was to find some pamphlet under a windshield wiper. One time I parked my car and opened the door to find a book about why the pope is the antichrist laying on the ground. Impressionable minds may need shielding from certain types of bullshit.
At the end of the day, google can censor its heart out and we'll still have vastly more info than we did in the 90s. This doesn't worry me. The greater goal is waiting-out the extinction of the rightwing nutjobs while minimizing their damage. No doubt this is the conclusion google came to and I'd have ethical problems hosting flat-earth bullshit myself.

All I meant to show is brain differences exist and brain differences also explain talent differences. The insula is a higher-evolved part of the brain relative to the amygdala (known as the lizard brain).
Brain-damaged humans resulting from stress of poverty which favors overdevelopment of the amygdala relative to the insula. The fear that conservatives are more prone to feel is a direct result of exercising the amygdala while leaving the insula to atrophy. Whereas coddled liberals aren't in constant survival mode which leaves time and energy to develop other neural areas.
Some liberal's amygdalas appear underdeveloped:
The Trumptards are already outnumbered, so their resolve is of no consequence, except to their own blood pressure, which only hastens their extinction.
Since the civil rights movement and the sexual revolution, we've become an increasingly socially liberal society, but since Reagan and Thatcher were elected, we've become an increasingly fiscally conservative one, and for better/worse, I can't see any indication this trend will reverse itself anytime soon.
For better/worse, Millennials and Z will likely become more conservative as they get older and their income grows.
Yes and you poofed from our discussion on immigration which I see as the equivalent of sticking your head in the sand because you'd prefer to retain your belief than risk being convinced of something you really don't want to believe. Dad does that all the time. It's a lot like not going to the dr because we'd rather not know. Dad's been listening to Rush for 30-40 years and if he's wrong, he doesn't want to know it; he just wants to live his fantasy until he dies without arguing or having to admit it was wrong. He has essentially told me so.
I prefer not to beat a dead horse.
Now after having left me with such impression you are expecting me to believe you're on an open honest quest for truth. I remember what you said, that lazy people don't deserve handouts and brown people are inferior in some ways and that's consistent with the anticipated neurological consequences of an overdeveloped amygdala (fear).
While I'm in favor of raising the standard of living of working and disabled people, good luck trying to convince people lazy people deserve handouts.
And there's no such thing as absolute parity between any two individuals, or demographics.
I think every race has strengths and weakness, I'm not sure which one is overall stronger, but it's probably not by a whole lot and I don't really care, nevertheless white people will have an easier time adapting to white civilization than non-whites.
You yourself admitted blacks were dimmer because winter forced whites to learn how to plan well in advance.
No it's all professors. Anyone with intelligence speaks nonsense to them. They flatter themselves by pedestalizing common sense as a way to pump their egos, even though they haven't put any effort into changing their level of knowledge by studying anything in particular other than sports or cars or parties and such (because they're narcissists).
I have conservative friends and family and occasionally listen to conservative talk radio, and I've never met a conservative who equated education with idiocy.
They think certain courses and professors, like sociology and sociologists, are mostly or wholly a waste of time, because they're impractical, they rarely translate into good or any jobs, and because of their strong, overwhelming liberal bias, on the other hand they hold phycists, engineers and medical practitioners in high esteem, and would never think they know more about their respective fields than they do.
Now I'm sure there's a few arrogant backwater hillbillies out there (I'm sure there's some humble hillbillies too), but they don't represent middle class, urban and mainstream conservatives.
Hillary is more intelligent than Trump, and Gore was more intelligent than Bush. All I meant is it's the dumb ones who win the election that they lost. Meaning the people picked the smart one, but the dumb one was appointed by those charged with preventing the people from picking the dummy in the first place.
I agree Hillary's iQ is a standard deviation above Trump, but seriously doubt Obama's smarter than Trump, he's highly overrated in many regards, because he's black.
Researchers. Published research exists on the matter. They found evidence of some ridiculously low, like 0.00004% voter fraud.
Interesting, I'd like to look into that.
I don't think dems think Trump conspired with Russia, but they want to make the case that he did in order to get him out of office because the ends justify any means with liberals.
Well I'm going to keep telling liberals and conservatives it's bullshit.

All in all, I get the most freedom from a democrat vote.
Christian fundamentalists don't hold much sway over politics anymore, at least not at the federal level, I mean look at Donald Trump, he's about as loose, a/immoral as they come.
These days mainline conservatives are mostly fiscally, and socially libertarian, or moderate.
It's the liberals who're guilty of trying to censor speech, take peoples guns, tell us what to think, how to feel, and meddle in our personal affairs with their whacky social programs.
Whatever happened to: it's the economy, stupid!
Liberals need to get back to focusing on their bread and butter: our bread and butter: the economy, and stop talking about identity politics if they want to win more votes.
Men, whites and moderate, non-fundy Christians and so on are tired of hearing about how evil we supposedly are, and everyone's tired of hearing about liberal's bizarre fetishes.
I don't care what happens to states/provinces as a result of choices they made.
And no one starves to death in 21st century North America, at least not yet, unless they're severely mentally disabled or ill.
Federal interventions in state/provincial affairs should be kept to a bare minimum, only when absolutely, indisputably necessary as a last resort for the survival of the state/province and/or nation as a whole.
And the nation as whole sometimes has the option to disjoin itself from a failed state/province.
Vastly different people living in different environments require vastly different governments, there is such a thing as irreconcilable differences.
It mayn't be advantageous to share our strengths with other nations, or risk being contaminated by their weaknesses.
We know and care more about ourselves than others.
Globalism squanders too many resources and is totally unnecessary.
Global totalitarianism would be far worse than totalitarianism in one nation, If some intranational division of powers is good, it follows international division of powers is even better.
Besides homogeneity is dull, and if we get bored, we can always travel on occasion or invite a fellow or two over from abroad after, they've been heavily screened.
Well thousands of scientists are.
Civilizations have become decadent, degraded and depleted their resources at a faster rate than they could replenish them hundreds of times before, and ours will be no different, except in scale, as our civilization is very nearly global.
And the bigger we are, the harder we fall.
We're so detached from a nature we've very nearly ruined, when we have to partly or fully return of it, billions will perish.
Unless humans somehow biologically evolve into eusocial animals, meaning our women beomce capable of bearing dozens, hundreds or thousands of children, and only one or a handful of them specializes in reproduction, whereas the others are born largely or wholly infertile, and specialize in protecting and providing for their sibling's offspring, we'll never behave anywhere near as altruistically as bees.
We live in mostly mimetic societies, unlike ants, bees, wasps, naked mole rats and some shrimp, not genetic.
The middle class doesn't exploit us anywhere near as much the overclass, if at all.
They're just trying to get by and have a little extra for themselves.
They're just a step or two ahead of us in terms of wealth, the last thing they need is government making it harder on them by increasing wages, taxes, regulations and fixing prices.
A strong, vibrant middle class provides us with choices, creativity and entrepreneurship we wouldn't have if taxes and regs are too high and hard on them, and all business is monopolized by a handful of powerful multinationals.
Much of the working class aspire to be middle class, so some of them are reluctant to go after them.
Nearly half the country is middle class, so even if you don't like them, you need some of their votes.
As long as liberals neglect or threaten their livelihood, liberals will never consolidate power, it'll bring us more of this endless class warfare and teetering back/forth we have today, until our democracy is torn apart and both classes enslaved or civilization collapses.
This's why I believe both the liberals, and conservatives are controlled opposition to the 1 10th of 1%.
If liberals had any sense, or weren't controlled, they'd promise to drastically cut taxes and regs on the small business, while increasing them on big business, increase minimum wage for big business more than small business, and increase welfare for small business, while eliminating welfare for big business.
It's only through uniting the classes, as well as the sexes, races and so on against the multinationals that we can make genuine progress (harder to do when you have multiculturalism), as well as having a greener, more localized economy, based more on need instead of greed, but that doesn't interest the elite, they want us altogether in one giant farm, but divided as hell, so we're too busy squabbling over scraps to fight the real enemy.
It'll be interesting to see what happens when a majority of European citizens are Muslim, Canadians and Australians Chinese and Indian, and the majority of Americans Mexican, I wonder what these newcomers will do with our civilization, and us?
Their policies discriminate against all whites, men and Christians, not just boomer whites, not that age based discrimination is anymore okay.
Religion isn't just belief in the Gods, and it isn't necessarily violent.
What else kept psychopaths in line all those years but fear of the Gods?
Religion is art, architecture, music, charity, community, some morals and values (some questionable).
While I am an agnostic, there are mysteries in this world, and while religions feign to know the answer to these mysteries, the idea of the supernatural imbues life with a sense of wonder and enchantment secular worldviews lack.
People are always going to find excuses to kill or oppress one another, we have more secular ideology for that now.
Studies have shown religious people, so long as they're not fanatical, tend to be healthier in all sorts of ways than irreligious.
And then where do we draw the line?
Religion is somewhat of an ambiguous concept, all kinds of activities can be construed as it and banned that have little or nothing to do with it.
And when some new technology comes out, like androids, Millennials, who grew up with the internet but hardly interact with androids, will vote in the next conservative.
By what metrics?
People are more overweight than ever, more drugged up, cancerous, diabetic, heart diseased, atomized, autistic, detached, overstressed, cities are noisy, crowded, polluted, we treat our animals like shit, we treat nature as our own collective toilet.
There's more political and economic monopolization than ever before.
Families and communities are broken.
That's what Rome said about Egypt, Mesopotamia and Macedonia, they said a lot has changed since then.
Bernie seems pretty level headed, Warren, so-so, Ocasio on the other hand scares me.
Would she put white liberals in ovens given the opportunity?
Probably not, but would she put fascists and Nazis in ovens if given the opportunity?
Of course, and thanks to the radicalization and racialization of liberals, so would millions of them.
But who're the Nazis?
Are they ultra-violent, thuggish skin heads?
Why no, anyone who wants to lower taxes for the middle class and small businesses, hold onto their freedom of speech, guns and stronger borders is a Nazi to her, or in other words, close to half the country.
Because individuals are selfish, and by extension demographics.
Why did whites and Arabs enslave Africans, why did some Africans enslave other Africans to sell to whites and Arabs?
People are tribal.
For whatever reasons, genetic, mimetic, whites tried to put their tribal memes and genes aside and embrace others, at least for now, but there's no guarantee others will do the same.
Trump: 'Why won't you build the wall'?
Pelosi: 'Because it's immoral'.

To the video I say so what? The guy who headed the crusade against helmet laws crashed his bike and died without a helmet while protesting! The guy who lived with bears was eaten by a bear. This is just an ironic universe where people get killed by what they're protecting. Kinda like that woman with her face torn off by her chimp, Travis.
The cherry picking overlooks the fact that 100s of 1000s of bikers ride without helmets and don't die. Just like most liberals don't get killed by muslims while visiting other countries. One of the nicest men I have ever known was a muslim from Turkey. Hell I thought they were all terrorists up til that point. I had more respect for PJW before that video.
Conservatives keep saying that, but it usually goes the other way. It's more likely that Y and Z will be more liberal as they age, not less. I bet even Rush Limbaugh is more liberal than he was 30 years ago.
I prefer not to beat a dead horse
Well we left off with Jared Diamond's theory that domesticated animals caused the intelligence of whites, which you didn't seem to contest, but more focused on whether or not domesticated animals existed anywhere but europe, which is a point that's accepted as scientific fact pending evidence to the contrary. Once we established that as fact, you poofed, which tells me you conceded, but can't admit it ,which is sticking your head in the sand and chanting "na na I can't hear you" because you don't want your worldview changed. Same as dad. He just wants to be left alone with his fantasy until he dies. Fine, but stay out of the voting booth if that's how you feel. I guess being ethical is not part of the fantasy.
While I'm in favor of raising the standard of living of working and disabled people, good luck trying to convince dogmatic people that lazy people deserve handouts.
I fixed it for you (in blue).
Same as I said last time: "deserve has nothing to do with it." But the fact that you think it does is what's telling.
I don't want to live in a shithole where people get what they "deserve". Who decides who deserves what; the dummies who relish the suffering of lazy good-for-nothings?
Show me a conservative who wouldn't let his daughter do without in order to be sure his stepson didn't get something that he didn't deserve. You can't because it's impossible because conservatism is predicated on that very fact of getting less for themselves specifically to ensure that others get even less.
Silhouette had a couple great examples of that here viewtopic.php?f=6&t=194003&start=425#p2716677
A guy didn't want to donate his organs because he feared someone might get them undeservingly.
My reply was, "I might be inclined to call him an asshole just to be sure that some asshole wasn't walking around getting respect that he didn't deserve."
We should shit on everyone because if we don't, oh hell, someone might be getting considerations that he doesn't deserve and we can't allow that.
Yes there is and it starts with the principle foundation upon which one chooses to view the world. It's polar. One either chooses to believe in absolute truth or he doesn't. Why do people who choose to own guns also choose never to use them to kill people? Because the dogmatic truth that killing is wrong cannot be changed. There is no neural mechanism around dogma. Kennesaw GA mandates every head of household be armed and yet no murders in 10 years. And it's not fear of others who might be armed because if we arm prisoners, they'd kill each other that much faster. So it's a mindset and dogma can't be circumvented. And that stems from a choice of worldview: does the absolute exist or does it not. Robots are trustworthy because they have no mind and the same explains conservatives who just as mechanistically follow lines of dogmatic code, and pride themselves for it.
Alan Watts actually breaks it all down and has nothing good to say about people who believe in law. He calls them "inflexible fools" and "machinery" that requires a boss with a brain. Start at 1:55:25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7vFOU8e0wU
Sure, yes, but not because blacks are inherently inferior but that the environment didn't favor the same outcome as whites. But it wasn't just the challenges that the whites had to endure that made them smarter, but the nutrition was better as well. Animals could be harnessed to provide much more for the whites than for the blacks.
I never met one who didn't.
Google search took 2 seconds:
And that's what it's going to take, whether it's on a college campus and just standing up and saying, "No, you don't get what you want, grow up. We have a perfectly fine institution here where you have just as fair a shot at anything anybody else has at this university. Go back and study. You really want what you want, get educated. That's what here we're to do, and we'll do it. I realize you're under a bit of a penalty because all our professors are stupid liberals, but that's the best we can do. But we're not gonna shut down the university and we're not gonna shut down this or that just because you can't handle some things you don't like hearing. Time to grow up." https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2015 ... ain_folks/
Coming from a fatasshole who "flunked everything", so he's obviously a genius fitted to calling every professor stupid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh#Early_life
I honestly can't understand how anyone could tolerate listening to that knob waxer. I try to keep enemies close, but perpetual influx of logical fallacies causes me nausea.
Conservatism is the proposition that educated people are dumb as dirt. I could prove this until time ended and never run out of examples.
Why Most of Your Professors are Idiots http://captaincapitalism.blogspot.com/2 ... diots.html
Plenty of STEM professors just as stupid and worthless as their libtard counterparts.
DON'T FORGET THE STEM PROFESSORS! They are not much better.
And don't forget that astrophysicists are 98% liberal. http://verdantlabs.com/politics_of_professions/
(Scroll down to "science & math" and click it.)
So they're dumber than the rocks that the conservative geologists study lol
Sure they do since their relative "success" only feeds their arrogance and makes them that much smarter. "I ain't never read no books, but I gots me some muney so I'm a jenius just like Trump! He don't never read no books neither and just look how good he done went n done."
Obama is smarter than Trump, but I agree that he ain't all that.
I have to do everything? Here's a shitload of them https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/ ... fraud-myth
The report reviewed elections that had been meticulously studied for voter fraud, and found incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent. Given this tiny incident rate for voter impersonation fraud, it is more likely, the report noted, that an American "will be struck by lightning than that he will impersonate another voter at the polls."
A comprehensive 2014 study published in The Washington Post found 31 credible instances of impersonation fraud from 2000 to 2014, out of more than 1 billion ballots cast. Even this tiny number is likely inflated, as the study's author counted not just prosecutions or convictions, but any and all credible claims.
I was off by a hair.
I typed in "voter fraud research" and it was top of the list in google. Damn you're lazy lol! And here I am giving you handouts, which you don't deserve, since you didn't even try to look it up, but having an educated population is what's good for me, lest some surmise I'm an altruist or something.
I don't care that people are starving in the streets except for the fact that they're doing it in a world that I have to inhabit and I don't want to live in a shitty community because some short-sighted dummies are focused on making sure people get what they deserve. Maybe we should return to the days were folks threw their excrement out windows onto streets to make conservatives a nice world to live in because lazy people don't deserve toilets. The more you deprive others, the more shit-up your own environment.
Why wouldn't they support the guy who seems determined to ban abortion?
Oh hell. Both Reagan and Trump advocated taking guns. Seriously, republicans are gunning for every single freedom you have.
Then Reagan:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/ret ... gun-lobby/
I totally agree. Homos are like 2% of the population. The real issue is poverty and wealth distribution.
I don't support the fetishes, but y'all are still evil
No one starves because they go to work (or they opioid themselves to death). Starvation is the sword forcing them into the laborforce by those who supposedly adore freedom so much. The only real freedom you have is in deciding which rich asshole you want to make richer.
I've correlated suicides with tax rates.

People kill themselves less when taxes are high (because redistribution).
The evilness of y'all's side is coming into focus.
Why? Because you say so? Jefferson was the OG republican and he relented by sacrificing his principles on the federalist altar.
Jefferson lived in a garden of eden paradise brimming with idealistic fantasies that proved nonsense once he was the guy in charge. I despise Hamilton, but he was right on this. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=194003&p=2715101&hilit=jefferson#p2715101
They tried that in the civil war and it's good fortune for the south that they lost. If not for the federal min wage, the south wouldn't have a min wage. TN, SC, LA, AL, MS have no state minimum and GA is set at $5. Pretty much the whole south and only the south! Good thing states can't do what they want.
I think my point still stands. The only reason not to annex mexico is to preserve their shithole status for cheap labor, otherwise our min wage would apply along with worker's rights and so on. The US couldn't be the US unless mexico were mexico.
We can't cut down a tree without asking the gov. What more do you want?

It's not just the right, it will also be the left who gets silenced/marginalized. It will for example close off discussoins about whether global warming is human created. The current internet saturation might have stopped, for example, the invasion of Iraq. Because the WMD conspiracy theory the Bush administration had would have been pored over by people on the internet and torn apart. Obviously I think it's bad since I think some of the conspiracy theories are correct. But everyone should be concerned about using political criteria to determine content when we are talking about near monopolies like Youtube and Google. They will say it is information based criteria, but it's not. They don't put time into analyzing stuff. They check to see if it is politically correct, if it causes outrage amongst experts.
Outrage amongst experts should not, for example, be a criteria in scientific research. It run counter to current paragidm? throw it out. Is a terrible heuristic-
You want the core elite power to be safer to do whatever it wants, then make this kind of move.
A strong, vibrant middle class provides us with choices, creativity and entrepreneurship we wouldn't have if taxes and regs are too high and hard on the middle class, and all business is monopolized by a handful of powerful multinationals.
What is middle class? The largest group of tax returns are in the $50k-$75k and the $100k-$200k categories (about 20 million of each).
It'll be interesting to see what happens when a majority of European citizens are Muslim, Canadians and Australians Chinese and Indian, the majority of Americans Mexican, I wonder what these newcomers will do with our civilization, and what they will think of us?
Yes, I don't know. My old grade school is all mexican now. That's gotta be better than inbred rednecks, but I don't know what they'll do once in control of everything.

People are always going to find excuses to kill or oppress one another, we have more ideology now.
To burn people at stakes requires religion.
Studies have shown religious people, so long as they're not fanatical, are healthier in all sorts of ways than irreligious.
No, what the studies show is the religious (7th day adventists anyway) are healthier than the average person.
Religion is somewhat of an ambiguous word, all kinds of things could get banned that have little or nothing to do with it.
I don't see it happening so I don't want to devote much to this. I think religion will fizzle out on its own.
And when some new technology comes out, like androids, Millennials, who grew up with the internet but hardly interact with androids, will vote the next conservative.
I'm sure memes will cross platforms.
People are more overweight than ever, more drugged up, cancerous, heart diseased, diabetic, autistic, atomized, detached, overstressed, cities are noisy, crowded, polluted, we treat our animals like shit, we treat nature as our own collective toilet.
Families and communities have been torn apart.
Thank republicans for that. Fat people and republicans correlate. Poor people overeat.
They may have said it changed, but there were no changes. We have cars, internet, grocery stores,,,
That's interesting. I don't know.
Are they violent, thuggish skin heads?
Why no, anyone who wants to lower taxes for the middle class and small businesses, hold onto their guns, freedom of speech and stronger borders is a Nazi to her, or in other words, close to half the country.
No they're grey hair, goatee, sunglasses, red ballcap and have used the word cankles in the last 2 years lol
Because of disparity. End disparity and there's no reason to do that.
People are selfish, and tribal.
IF they're raised in poverty.
This is why I do not fear AI. Anything smarter than us will be kinder.
That's just a tactic and not philosophical foundation.
It's not just the right, it will also be the left who gets silenced/marginalized. It will for example close off discussoins about whether global warming is human created.
I don't believe it's human created, but so what? The result is free power sooner than if left to the free market.
The current internet saturation might have stopped, for example, the invasion of Iraq. Because the WMD conspiracy theory the Bush administration had would have been pored over by people on the internet and torn apart.
And that would have happened before google realized it should ban it. But google doesn't work for the gov and probably wouldn't support a war anyway.
Obviously I think it's bad since I think some of the conspiracy theories are correct. But everyone should be concerned about using political criteria to determine content when we are talking about near monopolies like Youtube and Google. They will say it is information based criteria, but it's not. They don't put time into analyzing stuff. They check to see if it is politically correct, if it causes outrage amongst experts.
I'm with you, but I'm not threatened by this little bit of censoring. If I wanted to, I'm sure I could find plenty about flat-earth stuff. Just like banning drugs... we can still find drugs.
That makes sense, but to stop it google would have to be a public utility with 1st amendment protection.

That's fine that you think it will work out in a good way if a consensus political and scientific myth is taken as the truth. But the fact that you consider this possible, and in fact share a belief with certian conspiracy theorists, should make you wary of allowing industry to close the door on the spread of not-accepted-by-the-mainstream ideas.
It doesn't have to support a war, it just has to marginalize critique of the administration that believes there is a conscious plot manipulate us into a war. For example. IOW conspiracy theories, which in that case are no longer considered that.
You could. Many can't or won't. The more marginalized the idea is, the fewer well educated people will go....Hm, well, let's just see if there is any merit in this. Once the bulk of the educated class never even has to notice a single objection to whatever the official story is, the less chance that official stories will be questioned in the kinds of ways they need to be.
Actually Trump just set these guys loose even more. And I am not a legislator. I am someone pointing out the problems of near-monopolies doing this. People acting as apologists, such as yourself, are blocking a response by come citizens to a company policy. I am talking to you. I am not yelling at my senator and saying that they should pass this law I drafted.

But they are not banning climate change skepticism (probably because there is too much science and reason supporting the skepticism). They're just censoring the flat-earth nonsense and I don't know enough about 9/11 to say whether it's nonsense, but whatever. When they start censoring climate change skepticism and other ideas that have good scientific footing, then I'll start complaining. The idea that the earth is flat is just garbage and a waste of space on youtube. I doubt it's even about whether someone is likely to believe it.... it's just a waste... and generates traffic for dummies who probably promulgate other dumb ideas.
And all that parroted conservative economic nonsense is too superficially sensible to allow to flourish as it's akin to mislabeling food or medicine: it's a lie, believable, and down-right dangerous. The most respected economists, currently and in history, should be the judge of this, and the empirical evidence collected over the last 100 years is absolutely overwhelming. Censor the arrogantly marshaled economic dumbassery just the same as we'd censor medicine bottles of lies because not doing that causes the suffering of too many people and can only benefit assholes.
And it's not really censoring ideas because the ideas have been noted, judged, and rejected over the course of 100 years. Your voice was heard, now move on. (I don't mean you KT, I'm just on my soapbox).
Global warming conspiracy is perhaps justifiable because people can profit from alternative energy, but who profits from low taxation? Why would anyone conspire to raise taxes??? It has always been dad's point: "they" want power. Who is they? The democrats! How do they get power from raising taxes? So they can give tax breaks as favors for their buddies. Huh? That line of reasoning is extremely weak and doesn't merit assertion of conspiracy. It's more likely that conspiracy exists on the other side because there are far more elites who'd benefit by lower taxes. Dad needs muzzled, as do those who promulgate that nonsense.
- 21 times over 80 years the min wage has been raised and those moronic imbeciles still won't relent with "sky is falling" warnings about raising the wage. Give it a rest and stfu already. They're worse than flat-earthers.
- And stifle that "real money" gold standard bullshit. When more people are born, who gives up their gold for them? A fixed money supply is absolutely idiotic and even dangerous since Ben Franklin attributed gold as being the prime cause of the revolutionary war! Now that's dangerous!
- "End the fed!" And what? Start a state bank? Idiots! The fed is semi-private and semi-state and is the best compromise between either letting banks run freely as private entities or be under total control of the government.
- "Free market!" Idiots! Show me one thing that works best without management. Apply your free market principles to your garden and watch the weeds take over. No, better yet, apply it to your car: just let the invisible hand of nature guide your wheels without any authoritarian governance from you.
Damn these people are stupid. And they are! I've illustrated the generality of that fact 27 times here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=194612 How overwhelming does the proof need to be before action is taken?
I'm exhausted from slaughtering the same arguments over and over and they're become pests like mosquitoes emanating from putrid water with intent to spread dis-ease.
Dumb people advocating dumb ideas that seem sensible on the surface are dangerous because if too many people start believing that nonsense, then massive chunks of the population will suffer. If morality is in terms of suffering, then the moral choice cannot be the one that leads to more of it.
If an idea has been considered bullshit for 50-100 years by the people most equipped to judge and if said idea seems superficially plausible to laymen, then such ideas should be decreed hazardous bullshit and banned for the safety of the population. Furthermore, the constitution should be amended to prevent any form of trickle-down or supply-side economics from ever plaguing the citizens again. It's a like a herpes virus that goes into remission for a spell only to rise up and torment again.
I get your point but it's a bad example because google is liberal and republicans start wars that liberals don't support, so it's hard to see them censoring anti-war conspiracy theory.
All ideas started as marginalized because no one knew of them. Then over time everyone became aware of them. Marginalization doesn't work if the idea is sensible. What they're censoring is "magicians" making ideas appear more sensible than they are by taking advantage of the fact that people judge ideas by the arrogance with which they're advanced and by who is advancing them.
My point is the people getting blocked are the same ones protecting google from being a public utility. They are supporting the means of their own extinction.

15th Finance Commission's terms of reference balance needs represented by latest population: Arun Jaitley : 05-01-2019
The 15th Finance Commission's Terms of Reference balance "very well" the needs of states represented by latest population as well as progress made towards population control, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told Lok Sabha Friday.
He was replying to queries during the Question Hour, which went off smoothly for the first time in the ongoing Winter Session that began on December 11.
Concerns have been expressed by some states that they could be at a disadvantage due to their progressive policies that have reduced population growth in the context of proposed resource allocation by the Commission.
Against this backdrop, Jaitley told the House that Terms of Reference (ToR) of the Commission have been framed with a very great sense of responsibility keeping in mind the balance.
Noting that the Commission is actively engaged in consultations with state governments and central ministries, Jaitley said its recommendations would be part of the report to be submitted by October 30 as per the ToR
The ToR indicate that the Commission may consider proposing measurable performance-based incentives for states in efforts and progress made in moving towards replacement rate of population growth, the minister said.
"The two ToRs taken together balance the needs represented by latest population and progress towards population control very well.
"The 15th Finance Commission will be free to use these terms for deciding appropriate weights to be assigned for inter-se determination of the share of taxes to the states and also come up with specific performance-based incentive scheme," Jaitley said.
The reply came to a query by Congress member Shashi Tharoor on the steps being taken to ensure that Kerala and Tamil Nadu are not disadvantaged due to their policies which have reduced population growth in the respective states.
According to the minister, the Commission deals with resource allocation for the whole country and it has to have a balanced approach.
As Deputy Speaker and AIADMK leader M Thambidurai spoke for long before asking the supplementary question, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan asked him to put the query without delay.
"If you sit here, you will also do that… Please ask the question," Mahajan told him
As many as 45 members have been suspended in the current Winter Session for unruly behaviour. Till Friday, the Question Hour has been disrupted by protests by various parties.
Mahajan had suspended 24 AIADMK members on Wednesday for five consecutive sittings. A day later, she suspended 21 members of AIADMK, TDP and an unattached YSR Congress member
The action was taken under rule 374A of Lok Sabha which says that they cannot attend the remaining days of the session, which concludes on January 8.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Harley M. "Beanie" Walker (June 27, 1878 – June 23, 1937) was a member of the Hal Roach movie production company from 1916 until his resignation in 1932. The title cards he wrote for Harold Lloyd, Charley Chase, Our Gang and Laurel and Hardy comedies "have entered legend, both for silent films, and as opening remarks for the earlier talkies." He was also an officer of the Roach Studio corporation. On Roach's "Lot of Fun", script development usually started with meetings among the gag men, who would develop what was known as an "action script": the outline of the story and a description of the scenes and some of the sight gags, which generally would run three to six legal-size pages. This document would then pass to Walker, the head of the editorial department, which oversaw not only script editing, but film editing as well. Walker usually came up with the title of each film, wrote "brilliantly witty" title cards which would be produced and inserted into the film, and wrote a critique before the picture went out to the distributors, Pathé Exchange, or later, M-G-M. Walker's writing did not transition well to talkies and by 1931 he had left Roach studio and wrote dialogue for comedies produced by ex-Roach general manager Warren Doane at Universal Pictures. Later, he worked at Paramount Pictures, where he contributed to the W. C. Fields picture The Old Fashioned Way (1934).

When PolicyPak Software released a new build for the popular PolicyPak Application Manager in January 2014 it extended new support for Microsoft App-V 5.0 as well as, App-V 4.6 and 5.0 "side by side".
For example, if an admin needs to change a setting in App-V using PolicyPak Application Manager, they don't have to re-open and re-sequence that package. PolicyPak has baked the ability to deliver application settings using Group Policy into App-V sequences. Additionally as administrator's transition from App-V 4.6 to 5.0, PolicyPak can work immediately "Side by side" when both App-V 4.6 and App-V 5.0 are installed on the same system. A video overview of how PolicyPak manages App-V sequences (with side-by-side support) can be found on the PolicyPak website and you can read the rest of this Press Release here.

Does Your Logo or Brand Need a Makeover?
Is it Time to Breathe New Life Into Your Logo, or Your Whole Brand?
There are many reasons why companies refresh their brand. If you've been in business a long time, you already know how situations arise involving growth, change of focus or new ownership, inevitably resulting in the need to rise to meet design trends already being met by your competition. Change isn't always easy, but it's inevitable. You might still prefer the poofy bangs look from the 1980s (hey, I did it), but most of us have moved beyond it. Change is healthy, and although you might not feel comfortable with it, the bottom line is: it's not about you; it's about the success of your company and all the people who have come to rely on it.
Your logo (logotype) is the symbol you use on all your marketing materials, which typically includes your company name, with or without a graphic element. If your logo consists of only letters/characters (such as the Google logo), it's technically called a wordmark, but it's still commonly referred to as a logo. As a designer, I believe that a company's logo is the single most important part of their identity, and it should involve careful research and planning.
Do you fit any of these descriptions?
Your current logo's layout (or your brand's colours or typefaces) are difficult to replicate consistently across web-based and print-based media.
You only possess one digital file for your logo: a lossy, 50-pixel JPG that every print shop struggles to use.
Your company's business direction has shifted, and the logo no longer represents the product you offer, or your company culture.
Your child designed your logo as a high school project 15 years ago, and it no longer wows anyone, including you.
Your company's public image has been damaged by an unfortunate event (such as a natural disaster, embarrassing public event, or accidental loss of personal client information), warranting the need to convey optimistic change and trust.
In recent years, your company has come to use digital marketing for almost all of its advertising, yet the old logo is unnecessarily complicated, hard to read on a small screen, and doesn't work well on social media.
Before committing to a dramatic brand change, think about your brand from multiple perspectives. It is also a good idea to get some feedback from your most loyal customers; if they are proud to be your customer, they will be even more proud knowing that you keep with the times!
Typically, a brand redesign allows you to retain familiarity, recognition and trust, while giving you the visual boost you need to reach for your goals. However, a complete rebrand might be necessary in special circumstances. If your company has experienced significant damage, or if you have merged with another company and undergone dramatic changes resulting in new objectives and a different focus, then it's time to reimagine your public image. This level of rebranding, typically involving a name change, results in new messaging and fresh imagery. To reposition your company in a new direction, a complete brand overhaul is necessary.
Some of the most recognized companies invest time and research into rebranding. Witnessing the success of others' rebrands tends to light a fire under us.
Whether you feel ready for a moderate logo update, or a large-scale, sweeping, in-your-face brand-o-rama, the standards are the same for both. What does it take to shine? What are the essential standards of logo redesign and branding?
As a brand encompasses more than just your logo, part of any successful marketing scheme ensures that the colours used along with your logo are always consistent. Even if your logo is just black, any colours used on your business cards, website, newsletter, stationery, magazine ads and more NEEDS to stay consistent. And that doesn't just mean "always use blue"; it means "always use the exact same colour values of blue", as there are literally THOUSANDS of them.
Taking even one step further, the colour values used for print pieces are not the same as the ones used for the web. If you're a serious business owner, who cares about the consistency of your brand, you should learn the difference between CMYK and RGB.
If a logo is designed with the intention of being flexible, with 'varying colours' being part of the brand strategy, then it makes sense. Google customizes its logo for various holidays (Google Doodles), but this is one of their particular marketing strategies. They have changed their official logo several times over the years, but that's after lots of time and research has been performed to establish what needs to be changed. And, although the font and spacing changes periodically, the 'essence' we know and trust remains steady. Changing the colours of your logo for a limited time, to commemorate a milestone or support a cause, can be trendy, although typically only large, well-known companies can get away with this.
Yoga Australia: the negative space in the middle creates the shape of Australia.
Flight Finder: the company initials 'FF' create the shape of a plane.
Le Tour de France: the letters create the shape of a bicyclist.
FedEx: negative space between 'E' and 'x' creates a forward arrow.
Toblerone: hidden in the pattern of the Matterhorn Mountain is the shape of a bear, the symbol of the company's city (Bern, Switzerland) to symbolize their origins.
Formula 1: uses the negative space of the 'F' to create the '1'. Also, a few simple lines help convey 'speed'.
Beats: the letter "b" represents a side-view of a person wearing headphones.
The Guild of Food Writers: negative space in the fountain pen tip creates a spoon.
Amazon: smiling face, from 'A' to 'Z'.
Your brand's fonts/typefaces should be used the same way in all of your marketing materials. This means that, not only must you stick to the same font category (serif, sans-serif, script, hand-drawn, etc.), but you also can't swap-out one font for another, even if it's in the same category and looks quite similar.
Typeface plays a large part in brand recognition. If your logo is a wordmark (such as the Coke logo), typeface can play an even bigger part. Typeface can instantly give a feeling about the product. Is it dramatic? Playful? Trustworthy? Old-fashioned? Conservative? Alluring? Wild?
