I am not saying it is hard to get a prepaid debit card. I explicitly mentioned it as a workaround. I am saying that it is harder to get buy a physical item over the internet then to just visit a site.

Items require payments which usually would be a credit card. Kids cannot get a credit card on their own as far as I know so the parents have to be involved in some way. (Obviously there are alternatives like paypal, prepaid debit cards, etc but it is quite a bit harder to actual get the item).

AfD doesn't support this. I don't know about other right wing parties.

If you add 5 new pieces of hardware support in Linux vs 1 new in OpenBSD, I would expect more issues in Linux.

Perhaps people in the US commit more crimes than people in China?

If 1% of its adult population have committed crimes then it would not be barbaric if they were in jail?

Not that long ago, the majority view was that slavery was a great thing

A bit of a tangent, but is that actually the case? The highest estimate I have seen puts slave ownership at 5% of the population while the lowest puts it at 1%.

Obviously just because somebody doesn't own slaves doesn't mean they didn't support the system. There could be economic or legal reasons they couldn't own a slave.

I am just not sure that it was actually a majority view at any point in time in the US.

I am guessing people who live near the factory, mill, etc are more likely to work at them, which does provide benefit to them.

I've heard people say this before, but is it true? Aren't large chunks of Asia, Africa and South America further right than the US often times?

Why would it be a bad benchmark to explore what the average person will experience? If 99% of people will experience X then it makes sense to look into X instead of Y.

I agree other things should be evaluated and more clearly presented.

Most people will just have one federal filing so it doesn't seem like it is an issue for most people.

I am not sure the differences, but turbotax has an online version.

Fastmail is not a US product, it is Australian. Australia is part of 5 Eyes though.

Not who you were responding to, but most of the western world requires IDs already. The US is an outlier on this issue.

I don't think you know what the definition of corruption is. According to Merriam Webster the definition is:

a: dishonest or illegal behavior especially by powerful people (such as government officials or police officers) : depravity

b: inducement to wrong by improper or unlawful means (such as bribery); the corruption of government officials

c: a departure from the original or from what is pure or correct the corruption of a text; the corruption of computer files

d: decay, decomposition; the corruption of a carcass

As far as I can tell the law was passed by the legislature, the police enforced the law, they weren't bribed to not enforce it or to enforce it.

Seems like the whole system worked correctly, legally and without corruption of any kind.

Will this program be permanent giving the government 100 new cameras to track the movements of everybody?

Large chunks of the founders were opposed to slavery. John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Gouverneur Morris, Sam Adams and more.

The article is quite vague and only provides one tangible reason to choose France (nuclear power). Are there any other good reasons to choose France over other EU countries?

The dehumanization push is coming from the tech people.

Guess we should get rid of murder and rape laws, right?

Well in the past there were laws banning the selling of cigarettes and alcohol to minors. Selling alcohol to a minor can cause you to lose your liquor license. With much of the online content being free and not involving a physical product it has become significantly harder for a parent to protect their children.

Trump also supports immigrants who work in the hospitality industry since he wants to pay them less than Americans.

The US has around 340 million people. Giving a million dollars to each one would be 340 trillion dollars.

Genocide, as defined by the UN, includes religious groups.

And harmful communication can be "Fuck Hamas" which may be hateful, but not harmful.

Europe is a continent which the UK is a part of.

Neither Francis nor Leo (not sure which you mean by New Pope) have stated deportations or restrictions on immigration are wrong. Unfortunately, they are often taken out of context or do not provide clear statements which leads to confusion like you are experiencing.

The Catholic Church is growing not shrinking?

Iran probably doesn't have the means to wipe America and Israel off the map while the inverse is not true.

Somebody threatening to do something they are capable of is obviously quite different than somebody threatening something they cannot do.
