So much for restarting.
lol
that's just how bankruptcy seems to work in the US, they're not really concerned with failed businesses considering it's just numbers being shuffled around in bonds and debt, the goal is to have 'entrepreneurs' back up and starting new potentially successful businesses as soon as possible -

Originally posted by Lanny ARM is probably going to break or cripple a lot of the excellent dev tooling that exists on OSX and has been built up over the last decade or so, which isn't fun, but it's been time to switch to linux as the daily driver for a while anyway
I dunno, most of the toolchains will probably still work, just the compiler and linkers would need to be rewritten -

That one simply compares the numbers of people who are later exonerated after being convicted of a crime. I can't find any statistics to back it at the moment, but I believe part of the reason for this is that as of the last couple of decades, groups like the ACLU have gone over black convictions with a fine-toothed comb. It may just be that more blacks (per capita) are exonerated because nobody's investigating poor white peoples' convictions

Another source close to a port employee said a team that inspected the material six months ago warned it could “blow up all of Beirut” if not removed.

Originally posted by HTS I agree with you on pretty much everything including this - "pride" as it is known is pretty horrible. At the same time, I'm pretty sure it just started as "banging people should not be the core of your sense of shame", and it somehow became an annual parade of dudes wearing nothing but assless chaps, sucking each others dicks up and down Main Street.
I would argue that this is a symptom of a much more insidious, systemic disease and that it goes beyond gays towards our society's general inability to embrace compromise/half-measures/restraint. We live in a world where not having strong opinions is frowned upon. Nobody wants to be a fence-sitter. Communism is THE BEST THING EVER/SOURCE OF ALL EVIL. Capitalism is THE BEST THING EVER/SOURCE OF ALL EVIL. Atheism is THE BEST THING EVER/SOURCE OF ALL EVIL. Religion is the THE BEST THING EVER/SOURCE OF ALL EVIL. Democrats. Republicans. Halo. Call of Duty. PlayStation. Xbox. jedis. Whites. Blacks. Chinese. Arabs. All of them are THE BEST THING EVER/SOURCE OF ALL EVIL to some idiot who can't just accept that they're all "pretty okay" at best. So yeah, some retard sees a queer kid and says "this faggotry is THE SOURCE OF ALL EVIL" And another retard decides, no - being gay IS THE BEST THING EVER. And we get pride parades and the time honored tradition of gay bashing.
I think you'd get along well with my brother; he's gay but not a big fan of 'gay culture'.
Originally posted by HTS PS: Gay marriage has a reason to exist because humans are a monogamous and ritualistic species, and marriage is a ritual in which two people make a solemn vow to be monogamous towards one another. Simple as.
Do you need marriage for that though?
Marriage was never just about 'love' or 'monogamy', the purpose of the institution has (I guess until relatively recently) been to signal that a couple are starting a family, to legitimise it in a sense. -
