Sounds like many so-called "liberal" US Universities' speech policies.

Government can give you nothing but what it takes from somebody else. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you've got, including your freedom.-Ezra Taft Benson
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Does she also define masochism as people voluntarily stay in it?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Awesome! I would.
Well, I asked if it was called "Hotel California" but she missed the reference.
She laughed when I explained the song...

I would like to start playing lineage 2 (just wanting to see new version, have been 4 years off), but the damm computer (new install) is still searching for updates (aprox. 36 hours searching right now) so I could not backup system yet (don't like to backup games)

1.212.075 packets in "received", the only thing working online is "searching for updates"
Last time (father-in-law's laptop) was 20 hours   , 550+ updates in the list (installing back win7 from last backup I did to his system after he got "upgraded")
Now is a new desktop for me, sadly I have no backup yet for this hardware and have to get the list from W7-SP1 until today... I would expect a bit more speed.

Maybe Steve Ballmer can be a write-in.

Conversely, there is only one thing Americans like from non-Americans when the topic is US politics:

Unfortunately, I don't think many Americans care. This whole spectacle is like a runaway train with two monkeys fighting over the controls, while the passengers sit idly by in the coaches taking selfies with their smart phones and complaining that they aren't being treated fairly by the steward serving drinks. 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

That's pretty rude there Mike.. think you owe the non-americans an apology. They may not be able to vote, but how they perceive our potential future leaders is worth considering.
That said, a programming forum lounge isn't the place I want to see a lot of political discussion going on it.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I disagree. My vote has never once been influenced by what other people may think, foreign or not.

As long as you're evaluating more than what you see on TV, then great. 
However, I take it that you wouldn't mind if the US president offended, say China's leaders, so much that they got a hefty tariff enacted on all electronics shipped to the US, enough to double the cost of all electronic gizmos and gear? Or you wouldn't mind if the US president pissed off, say Mexico's leader, so much that they doubled the cost of most of the fruits and vegetables in the grocery stores during the winter months?
I'm not saying who to vote for, merely that how they will play on the international political stage deserves some consideration.
Sometimes, these actions are long term.. for a historical perspective, look at the Chicken Tax[^].
