  1. FathomLordKarathr Somebody is a little too upset about a person protesting paedophilia and sexual assault. I think maybe you're the one who belongs behind bars. Or maybe you're just ramping up to it. Do you find yourself lingering just a little too long at public playgrounds? When you hear the ice cream man, do you get excited in a different way than you did as a child? Do you find that you get upset by people who speak out against perversion? Oh wait, you already checked that box. Better be careful. Seems like you might be headed down a dark path. #PaedoLivesDontMatter

  2. westfolder Pretty sick world we live in, when "counter culture" means openly protesting sexual assault and paedophilia. I mean, how can there be any controversy around what this guy is doing? The police officers in my town would have pulled over and helped him hoist the banner.

  5. Totally false. This one time I survived a car accident and the next day, I magically woke up with all of the knowledge and wisdom necessary to massively reduce the amount of vehicle deaths in the US while still respecting the rights of its citizens...

  6. All I see is a perfect example of why "protest permits" are complete BS. This pro-Bernie activist just did something befitting a Clinton or Trump by paying to silence his opponents. I have no idea why we've let it get to the point where we have to pay the government a fee to be able to exercise our Constitutional Rights. Protest permits? Are we going to have a tax on changing religions next? How about a "due process fee" where the police get to treat you however they want unless you can afford to pay them. Ooh wait, we already have that one too.

  7. I'm confused. Mexicans are the only ones capable of working hard? Wait, no. You specifically said it was illegal immigrants. So you're saying that Mexican Americans are lazy sacks of crap, just like white Americans? But then, you also showed us that black Americans can't really cut it either. It's crazy how a birth certificate or a green card can just cripple a person like that. Does this magic apply to all illegal immigrants or just the ones from Mexico? Like, if we were to bring in some illegal immigrants from a wide cross section of Countries, would they work as hard as the Mexican illegals? And what about the American citizens who bust their asses every day? Are they secretly illegal immigrants, too? Are the South and Mid-West just giant sanctuaries for illegal Nordic and European immigrants? They must be, right? I mean, certain groups have gone a long way to destroy the work ethic in this Country. If it still exists, it means that you they have failed. So, what is it that gives illegal immigrants their super powers? How do they work so much harder for less money? Oh, THAT'S right! We're EXPOLOITING them! They have no choice. Because if they complain, we'll have them DEPORTED! They're the new slave labor! If you can't afford to pay more for shrimp and strawberries, I don't really care. Screw you and your false entitlement. Nobody owes you shrimp and strawberries. If you insist we continue to exploit a broken system and oppress people to help finance your dinner parties, you're no better than the people who turned a blind eye toward slavery because "This cotton is just so soft and affordable!"

  11.  @dulfinz5254  You're comparing pre-1980s medicine to today's medicine? Really? The American Cancer Society recently endorsed vaping as a smoking cessation method. Are you trying to claim that 2018 ACS is as reckless and ignorant as doctors from the '70s? How about the Royal College of Physicians? They were the first ones to come out (back then) and say that smoking is bad for us. They're also the ones who (last year) said that their testing shows vaping to be at least 97% less harmful than smoking. To put that in simple terms, that means that me vaping in the suburbs is better for my lungs than me not vaping in a large city. Also, where's my source link?

  14. It's a pretty sad statement, that your "go to" is that someone has to be unique to care about sexual assault and paedophilia. I don't know anything about your upbringing but where I'm from, the majority of people care about such things. Those who speak out aren't regarded as caring less than those who don't. No offense but the logic of your comment makes me think you grew up in Hollywood.

  15. All of the criminal acts you mentioned will get you arrested. If you have your kids with you when you do it, they will be taken into protective custody. Thank you for pointing out that this is perfectly consistent with how we treat criminals and in no way exceptional.

It's really, really easy to understand for anyone with even a basic education and an understanding of the English language. It's only slightly harder for any idiot with a dictionary and a search bar. Anyone who doesn't understand the 2A is intentionally trying to misunderstand it, for fear of what a Constitutional society would look like.

  17.  @dulfinz5254  I'm going to need a source link showing someone actually getting popcorn lung from vaping. It'll be pretty hard to find, considering they can't even definitively prove that diacetyl (the chemical in some butter flavor eliquids and the center of that rumor) is the cause of popcorn lung to begin with. The people who first contracted it were exposed to several chemicals and the doctors merely stated that diacetyl was the most likely culprit.

  20. markhor1988 You mean assault weapons. Assault rifles are the actual military select-fire guns. Assault weapons is the term people who don't know anything about guns made up to classify anything that looks military or scary. There's a difference.

  21.  @youraverageimperialguard7932  California has a high crime rate, terrible schools, some of the worst fires in the nation and roads that can absolutely destroy the underpinnings of your average sedan. We also have more taxes being dumped into the State than any other. It seems like that money isn't going where it's supposed to be, let alone these "extra initiatives" that never do a damn bit of good. Or am I wrong? Please, tell me how many fewer homeless people there are in California, with the decades and decades of billions of dollars being (supposedly) allocated for alleviating the problem? Where is that money going? The math says the homeless problem should have already been handled years ago. That is, if the money were actually going towards helping the homeless. Of course, that doesn't take into account that you're full of shit and the corrupt politicians are pocketing most of the money, so...

  22.  @Dangit-Dave  Possibly but I still wouldn't rule them out as financial "One Percenters." That only takes an annual income of something like $420,000 or more. My old boss made twice that, easily, owning a construction company with 12 employees. He would have fit in just fine sitting at a table across from these two.

  26. phloridababe Wrong. Electric stand-up scooters are not a DMV issue. Having a "working motor" isn't a qualifier. In fact, you can drive a gas powered motorcycle on the street with no license or registration, as long as the engine is 49cc or smaller. People convert bicycles all the time without legal issue. Research, then comment.

  27. @George Costanza Not quite. The Streisand Effect is when you try desperately to keep something a secret and end up causing it to catch the public eye (named after Barbra Streisand's attempt to have all photos of her home erased from the Internet). Facebook started a smear campaign to shine a bad light on this guy and it backfired.

  28. Gabby C Wow, that sounds horrible. Someone should build some type of blockade to keep such horrible crime out of our Country. We should also agree to go in and wipe out all of their cartels for them. We've got the military force to do it, though it would probably be better if Mexico was to handle it themselves.

  29.  @jogi453  It's not like they're new chemicals. Between the FDA, Universities, independent scientists and specialty researchers (i.e. Cancer researchers), there aren't too many things that haven't been tested for carcinogens. A simple process of submitting ingredients lists to be checked against a database is all that's needed and happens to be the standard for all sorts of foods and drugs. Nobody freaks out when Nestlé comes out with a new candy because all of the food grade ingredients (which are what's used in eliquid) are already well documented with the FDA.

  32. We're already required to provide proof of age to buy online. It has been that way as long as I can remember. What Juul said was that they would use more stringent means of age verification than they currently do.

  33.  @KingofHearts  Any of us would do the same? Really? Personally, if I was scared of someone who was walking away from me, I wouldn't follow them down the street, confront them and then shoot them. I'm pretty sure no sane person would do that. You should get help for your violent tendencies.

  34. It's actually not that far fetched. An ultralight helicopter would be within these people's budget. If the bunker is stocked, they don't have to worry about toting gear. They just wheel it out of their garage, secure the props, top off the fuel and hit the sky. I know I'd rather be travelling ten thousand feet off the ground if something that big were to happen. Far fewer people shooting at aircraft than at each other in that situation.

  35.  @Hellraiser988  Think of that yourself, did you? Oh wait, no. It's common knowledge that has been expressed countless times...and has little to do with the conversation. There isn't a single person arguing that everyone should vape non-stop, at 0.08 Ohms and 300 Watts. NOBODY is claiming that, so why are you bringing it up? It's almost as though you don't actually have a structured opinion about this, other than "new thing bad," so you spit out vague statements and tropes that allow you to hang on to your superstitions. I bring up reputable groups that have done extensive research before bringing forth their public opinions. You counter with "B-b-but...too much is bad and stuff!" Great argument. What's next, a quip about looking both ways before crossing the street? It would be about as valid as everything else you've said - in a discussion about the benefits to harm reducing methods of quitting smoking.

  36. Ah, the incoherent ramblings of children who haven't yet learned how to form a complete thought. So fun. Every conversation is just one, long, run-on sentence. This happens when one has no idea where they're going with a thought and just speak in a stream of consciousness. How is it that anyone takes such thing seriously? As soon as I start hearing these familiar speech patterns, I know I'm not listening to a rational person with any sense of reality. They have a right to speak but that doesn't mean the rest of us need to listen.

  37. "You do what you gotta do." Except for leaving, right? God forbid you go somewhere you might actually be able to afford an existence. No, that sounds hard. Wouldn't want to do something difficult to elevate yourself out of the gutter. Better to just walk around Vegas all day, every day. Eat what you find and sleep where you fall. It sucks but at least it doesn't take much motivation or effort...

  38. +Short Names Yeah, I'm sure the police wouldn't have bothered showing up to the Democratic National Convention if it hadn't been for those protest permits...

  39. +Short Names Of course they do. I mean, that's why they're always hanging out near the most likely places for mass shootings, right? Oh wait. They don't. The majority of protests don't need extra police presence. Of the countless protests that have occurred in the US, only a very small percentage of them have turned violent. Of that already small percent, an even smaller percentage turned into more than what a few officers could handle. Face it. It's a money grab and a way to limit our First Amendment Rights. Plain and simple.

  52. So, the idea is to ban what is largely considered a novelty accessory because a person used one once in a shooting? Really? This is the priority? So, when you ban them and the next guy slips his finger into his belt loop and accomplishes the same thing, are you going to ban pants? I'm pretty sure more people have been killed by angry housewives with cast iron skillets than by rifles with bump stocks on them. Best do away with cookware for the sake of public safety...

  54.  @MegaWeitzel  You think nobody in Europe is vaping? Then I'm guessing you've never been there. The EU has established very specific rules for the sale of e-liquid and e-cigarettes/mods because of the major impact vaping has had. The Royal College of Physicians has officially endorsed vaping as a safer alternative/cessation method for smoking tobacco. Vaping has hit Europe in a big way. They just don't demonize it the way certain groups in the US have.
    1
  55.  @MegaWeitzel  "This is a big problem." You and I have very different views on what constitutes a big problem. The millions of kids who consume massive amounts of sugar are in much more danger than the ones who vape. Diabetes, obesity, heart conditions, etc are all linked to sugar consumption...yet there's candy available everywhere and to anyone with a few cents to their name. Meanwhile, they put age restrictions on vaping which - as far as anyone can prove - only seems to increase blood pressure at similar rates to caffeine (another substance with no age restrictions that's available everywhere). The US has plenty of big problems. Teens choosing to vape instead of smoking is not on that list.

  56.  Ragu inacan  "Religion" isn't the reason for this problem. A specific religion's specific custom is the problem. The US not allowing prayer time in schools is not what prevents this from happening here. The fact that the primary religion in the US - which has had major influences in the government - doesn't require people to throw dead bodies in a river, is the main factor. Also, having an EPA to keep municipalities and corporations from dumping raw sewage and untreated industrial waste into our waterways tends to help a lot. India doesn't put health or the environment ahead of anything. That is why this is happening. The US has plenty of room to do better but it's not because of "religion." It's mostly because of corporate and political greed.

  57.  Ragu inacan  Get any further out into left field and we won't be able to see you. Try keeping up with the conversation. I didn't say that greed and politics don't apply to religion. The reason I didn't say anything about that is because it is completely irrelevant to my argument. Either try harder or save yourself the keystrokes by not replying at all.

  59. This woman is a college professor. Let that sink in. She's not smart enough to realize how ridiculous her lifestyle is, yet she's allowed to influence young adults. If you make $100k/year and are forcing your child to live in a 1 bedroom apartment because of your irrational attachment to a particular city, you shouldn't be paid to spread your point of view to others.

  60. Interesting. Now let's tweak the opening line a little and see what happens. Harvey's trailer was destroyed by a tornado 13 years ago, here in the Midwest. He chose to stay and wander the streets, instead of looking for a way to get back on his feet. Yeah, that's called a lazy idiot. He even dares to scream about there being no housing. NEWSFLASH: Nobody is keeping you there. If there's no way for you to live well in LA, MOVE THE HELL OUT OF LA!

  62.  @1988kcmo  The number of agencies reporting hate crimes is also up. Of course the number of reported cases is going to increase when you have more agencies reporting their numbers. If, for example, 100 agencies report their hate crimes to the FBI annually for ten years and then on the eleventh year, 20 more agencies start reporting, the number is going to increase drastically. Anyone who doesn't take the increase in agencies into account will think that something happened in the eleventh year to make people more hateful, when really, it's mostly just that we're getting more information than in previous years.

In some of the better parts of Cali, the homeless "struggle" with very nice climates and tons of leftover food being handed to them, that comes from some of the best restaurants in the Country. That's that California privilege.

I'll grant you that it's hard to live comfortably in an urban shit-hole for that much but then, who in their right mind would want to live in one, anyway?

  73.  @arthurmorgan3260  I get that. I just don't see what a "better" law would be that would effectively (and drastically) reduce gun crime and also preserve the rights of the people. Personally, I'd like to see better enforcement of current laws. Why would I expect new, "better" laws to be anything more than an inconvenience for myself and other gun owners when that's all the current laws are? I obey all firearms laws but if I didn't I would be able to get my hands on plenty of guns and I don't even live in a large city (where the majority of such problems exist). I'm in California, where even private firearms sales are supposed to go through an FFL and require a background check. Do you have any idea how few of them actually do? The laws in this State only affect those who have no intention of breaking them. Everyone else is still buying and selling "banned" guns to/from each other, as though the laws never existed in the first place. I can't even say I think they're wrong for doing so. The Constitution - as it is written - is very clear. So is the definition of the word "infringe." People can try to talk about altering the Constitution to limit the freedoms of Americans but that didn't go so well last time. The People refused to comply and that particular amendment had to be repealed. If you think prohibition was a bad time, imagine trying it with something that has been specifically enumerated as a natural right of the People. All that badness was just over booze. What we're talking about now is the real stuff. People will sacrifice their lives, en masse, to protect the second amendment. It would be a bloody war on American soil, with only American casualties. Laws can change with the times but trying to reduce people's rights will end in blood. Especially when we're talking about the one right that's meant to protect all of the others. Welcome to the paradox.

  77.  @xXG2023  If you're going to claim there are things like bleach in eliquid, I'm going to need a source link. There's no way anyone should take your word for something so outlandish. Propylene glycol on the other hand, IS found in eliquid. It's also found in dozens of foods and in some hospital ventilation systems (to help protect you from airborne pathogens). It is considered inert. My source for knowing that there's propylene glycol in eliquid is every, single vaping website, vaping YouTube channel, the FDA, the ACS, the RCP...and the label of every bottle of eliquid I ever bought. I'll be waiting for your source. Furthermore, the American Cancer Society, the FDA and the Royal College of Physicians all say that the chemicals in eliquid are MUCH safer than those found in cigarettes. I could listen to experts with doctorates, who studied these chemicals in labs...or some random alarmist on the Internet. Who should I choose?

  78. From the video, I got facts and information. In the comments section I found: People who think profit is evil. People who think providing access to nicotine - to people who are under a great deal of stress - is evil. People who think selling inmates e-cigarettes - when many prisons sell them much more harmful cigarettes - is evil. People who have absolutely no idea how volatile of a situation it is to take a bunch of criminally inclined men, strip them of all access to any of the addictive substances they crave and drop them in a concrete box together. All of you need to live a much more...shall we say "colorful" life before passing these judgements. Even dedicated rehab centers allow people to smoke/vape. Nicotine is not nearly as dangerous as some of the chemicals that addicts are coming down from. Furthermore, there is absolutely nothing wrong with coming up with an idea, implementing that idea and making some money from it. The device you're reading this comment on was created based on that very principle.
