  1. My favorite feature is the Vegan Leather™ seats. I appreciate that they finally found a good use for vegans.

  2. My face! My eyes! My Poster! My movie! Cool. In that case, YOU go ahead and buy a few hundred thousand tickets to make YOUR movie profitable at the box office. You don't need us.

  3. This is what will happen to Pastafarians once they've a couple of generations separated from the joke.

  4. Accuracy is everything... ...unless it's a .44 hollow point. Then, minute-of-torso is good enough.

  5. Two years ago in California, a kid was suspended from school and charged with felony assault for "holding a pencil in a threatening manner." Meanwhile, this school can't even be bothered to tell the campus police officer about an actual threat?! So many more people should be held accountable for this.

  6. The way the white guy and black girl react to the question about whether "All white people are racist" is hate speech, pretty much sums up the problem. He really wants to say that it's hate speech but she has already said it's not and he doesn't want her to call him a racist on camera for disagreeing with her. He was so nervous about what was going to come from simply saying "I don't know..." that you could see him physically cringe in anticipation.

  7. Stop and go traffic is the biggest contributor to LA's smog. Creating more traffic jams increases the amount of smog, exponentially. Seems LA is a beacon of hypocrisy.

  8. Your actors are too good. Now I have an urge to hunt people.

  9. My wife and I have kids. I work for myself, so I'm good. She works for a company, so she schedules her vacation time at the beginning of the year, every year. How do we know that far in advance, when we're gonna go on vacation? BECAUSE WE HAVE KIDS. Their schools dictate when their vacations are, so that tells us exactly when we're going to take off. Karen knew damn well when her kids were gonna be out of school. Fail to plan and plan to fail.

  10. This interviewer is frustratingly dense.

  11. Isn't that the litmus test? If California politicians think it's a good idea, it should probably be avoided.
    646
  12. That's essentially what the US was supposed to be in the first place. A basic framework of common laws for the sake of the people and all other power going to the individual States. We let the Federal Government have too much power and now, the individual States are far too stifled in their ability to govern themselves. What's worse is the insane number of people who want to take even MORE power away from their local and State governments to give to the Federal.

  13. Lol. So the Alt-Right gets to represent the Right, now? Does that mean Stalin represents the Left?
    522
  14. When I was a kid, I identified as Skeletor. My parents did the right thing and peeled off my face. Later, I decided I wasn't Skeletor, any more. The doctors had to use flesh from my butt to reconstruct my face. I'm not attractive and I have trouble sitting down...but I'm the only guy I know who can literally "talk sh*t." Thanks Mom and Dad!

  15. Ignoring the fact that a 60 second response time sounds pretty unlikely, how about the fact that a response time that short didn't save everyone? I'm not putting down the police; they rolled in with the quickness! I'm saying that even at 60 seconds, people died and others were injured. Tell me again how people shouldn't be allowed to carry firearms because waiting for police is the better option.

  16. I just bought my children bicycle helmets the other day. The blue one cost the exact, same amount as the pink one.
    442
  17. The fact that so many are moving from California to Texas is the exact reason that when I move, I'm not going to Texas. They'll only destroy the Lone Star State. I'm a Constitutionalist. I can't abide watching the next State I move to being turned into the next California. Good luck, Texas.

  19. "I have a magic wand for you, in my car. Wait here and I'll go get it...but you can only have it if your mom says it's okay." This is the opposite of creepy, Trevor. This is someone going to his car by himself to get something for a child's mother to approve before giving it to said child. He didn't lure her to his car. He didn't try to keep the gift a secret from the kid's parent. Calm down.

  20. To be fair, those "Big Irons" can also run .44 Special, which is ballistically similar to .45 ACP. Still superior to the 9mm in power but a whole lot more manageable than those +P+ magnums.

  22. When you hope your state is on a "worst" list, so that people stop moving there and housing prices go back to being reasonable.

  23. Why doesn't this relatively successful, well paid woman put her money where her mouth is and start a "feminine" style company, to see if it can be profitable? Maybe she thinks it would fail miserably and prove that people like Peterson were right, all along.
    277
  24. Let's fix the homeless problem! How? We'll tax big businesses per employee they have! Won't that make them want to have less employees and inevitably cull their workforce? Probably, yeah! Won't that increase the number of impoverished and homeless people? Ummm......no? Yes, it will. Step down from office. You are an imbecile.
    263
  25. "We weren't trying to sexualize your children. We were just trying to get them to pretend to be sexualized." The parental rights act needs to be pushed and passed at the Federal level. These schools/teachers have gone off the rails.
    258
  26. Interviewer: This is an entry level job. Are you willing to work for minimum wage with no guarantee of full-time hours? Interviewee: Yes, absolutely. 1 YEAR LATER: Employee: I want more money! Employer: Me too. Employee: No. You need to pay me more. In fact, you need to pay me a lot more! Employer: Why? You're still doing the exact same amount of work as you agreed to do for your current wage. What makes you more valuable today than you were a year ago? Employee: Whatever, I've got bills to pay. Employer: So do I. If you needed to make more money, why didn't you say so before I hired you? Employee: I needed a job and I figured I'd get a raise later. Employer: Then why haven't you been working towards getting a raise? You've spent the last year doing nothing more than your basic job requirements. If you want more money, you have to prove that you're worth promoting. This means more money because you're taking on more responsibility. Employee: I don't want more responsibility. I just want more money. Give it to me. Employer: No. And at this rate, you're not showing me that you're even worth employing. Employee: Bernie, my boss is being mean to me! Make him pay me more money, because I entered the job market without any concept of basic budgeting and I'm not willing to work harder or find other employment! Bernie: Unsustainable minimum wage for everyone! Employer: Everyone's fired. Bring in the touchscreens and robots! I've got customers to serve and no time to deal with overgrown, entitled children whose parents never explained to them how the world works.

  27. PG&E cut power in my town for several days, once. Gas powered cars and generators were how we got through it. Several of us lent and donated generators to people who couldn't afford them. We wouldn't have been able to do that with solar arrays and battery banks. We gave each other rides in cars we were filling with gas cans, rather than sitting around, waiting for EV batteries to charge. Electric isn't there yet and I have no intention of moving backwards, while waiting for it to catch up.

  28. For sexual assault. Wonder why he was pulling people over and seeing what they look like before driving off?

  29. "Buzzfeed is kinda Left." Yeah...and Kim Jong Un is kind of a dictator...
    244
  30. Kinda goes with the whole "unpredictable" thing.

  31. I think, starting today, people should have to pass a background check before being able to purchase a firearm. Oh wait...

  32. You're talking to a society that decided Beats were good enough. Audio quality is clearly secondary to style and brand recognition.

  33. That makes me one in a million. Damn, I'm special.

  34. I feel like they're getting ready for him doing something in the near future that will suddenly give some people a reason to pay him a visit.
    198
  35. "...that Liberal policies unintentionally make things worse." Wait, who is saying it's unintentional? I think Liberal policies are designed specifically to keep black communities poor, so that black voters will continue to vote for the Party that promises handouts. Nothing unintentional about it.
    189
  36. Been married 15 years and loving it. Gentlemen, say it with me: "Babe, I'm going to the store to pick up some steaks. You want me to pick anything else up, or do you wanna come with me so I can chase you around the aisles?" Seriously. Love your wife and be a man. It's really that simple. If you can't see yourself being that way with her, every day for the next 10, 20, 50 years...don't marry her. She's not the one for you and vice versa.
    188
  37. I like this. I have no institutional power. I have no systemic power. Therefore, I can't be racist. That helps a lot, because I keep being told I'm racist, simply by virtue of being born white. White as I am, I barely have enough power to control my kids. I certainly can't oppress an entire group of people. I am physically incapable of racism.
    187
  38. Says they sound pretty good. Then he says they sound about like the Apple Earpods. Not my idea of $160 headphone quality.

  40. Can't mow the lawn until the dog crap is picked up. Can't find the dog crap because the grass is so long. It's a vicious cycle.

  41.  @prestonhanson501  Neither has anyone else, including you. What a ridiculous statement.
    162
  42. New York: We're gonna make it legal to kill babies right up until just before they're delivered and call it abortion. Beat that! Virginia: Hold my beer.
    151
  43. "Let's all move to the coast," they said. "We'll build great big cities," they said.
    146
  44. I call BS. I'm still paying way more than twenty bucks extra per hundred for groceries, than I was before the lock-down nonsense.
    145
  45. As someone who works outdoors all winter, I pretty much have those symptoms for three to four months straight, every year. Cold air gives me a runny nose. Post-nasal drip gives me a cough and a sore throat. Being out in the cold all day and then coming inside gives me a mild temperature (my body compensates for the cold and then I'm overly warm all evening) and often, a bit of a headache. Doing physical labor gives me body aches and fatigue. I think I'm just going to change my middle name to Omicron and call it good.
    139
  46. Bottom line: It would come down to whether the gorilla could break the bear's skull before the bear sliced something vital with its huge claws.
    136
  47. He actually said it. He did the "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!" line with Russia. The man really is a walking meme.
    135
  48. That clip of Don Lemmon saying the exact same things Crowder and Shapiro have been called racist for saying, is just too perfect.
    130
  49. "This is not what I meant when I said I wanted a ten second car..."
    126
  50. In a shocking turn of events, the Chinese Communist Party will not condemn the actions of ex-KGB agent and proud "former" Soviet, Vladimir Putin.
    120
  51. "They're not just transitioning kids, willy-nilly." "They did it to me." "That was abuse." Exactly.
    115
  52. I used to work at a Photomat. Would you settle for Fresh Prints?
    114
  53. Alright, let's get something clear. A "young adult" is a person between the ages of 18 and 25. A child is not a young adult. An adolescent is not a young adult. Books for "young adults" belong in the "adult" section.
    114
  54. We're not. We're talking about the idea that society needs to conform to what people think they are, rather than what they are. It's interesting, though. I'm told I can't have an opinion about abortion because I'm a man - and as such - can't possibly comprehend a female perspective on the subject. Meanwhile, I'm told that there are thousands and thousands of other men who can understand the female mindset, in its entirety. Logical inconsistency is rampant in discussions about trans identity. That's why it always comes down to trying to shame people for disagreeing. If there was a solid argument to be made, it would have been by now.
    114
  55. I just can't do it any more. I can't continue to be a Democrat, in good conscience. All we had to do was provide a candidate who could beat Trump. That's all. We ended up with one, possible choice who could do it and the Party made sure he wouldn't win the primaries. I'm done. I'll be an Independent for the foreseeable future.
    112
  56. Glass back, no headphone jack and a notch. It's like this phone is a homage to Apple's worst design ideas.
    111
  57. This just in: The designer who made AOC's "Tax the Rich" dress owes over $100,000 in back taxes. Also, she's accused of running a sweat shop.
    110
  58. "How to get arrested at the mini-gilf course in one easy step"
    105
  59. The number of people who happen to be around multiple mass shootings, when the vast majority of us have never even been near one. It's almost unbelievable...
    101
  60. Wait, isn't this one of the rich elites that the Left wants me to hate? Why would I take some 0.1%er's word, right? Bernie and his Communists say they're bad, so I should completely ignore what this guy says. After all, he's probably just doing it to get more rich and destroy the Country, right?
    100
  61. DW takes control over all of their hosts' social media accounts when they sign their contract. If the photos really were removed, it would mean that DW didn't want them on there.
    98
  62. So wait, what's the point of this?
    89
  63. Just don't jump to conclusions based on someone's previous address. I'm a staunch Constitutionalist who - due to family circumstances - was stuck in California for a long time. I've since moved and am about sick of people - most of whom are more Left than I am - hassling me about not changing "their" State. I'll change the State, alright. I'll vote for tax cuts, gun rights, and individual liberty, all day, every day. I won't stop until the day they bury me.
    89
  64. I love that you make him wear a mask for dramatic effect. He's outdoors, away from other people. He has no reason to be wearing a mask during the report, except to play on people's fears.
    87
  65. A Spike Lee™ spoken word poetry performance about Rodney King... No thanks. I'd rather take the subject matter seriously. It's the type of thing that deserves more than being reduced to "Bongo Night at the Coffee Corner."
    85
  66. Are you telling me that campaign promises are just lies? Gosh, I'm shocked.
    83
  67. Yeah, my city's homeless seem to have disappeared from view very recently, as well. I, too, am in the Pacific Northwest. We didn't implement any new policies, though. We just had a bunch of storms bring snow and flooding through the area. Is Portland getting better, or do your homeless dislike drowning and freezing to death as much as ours do?
    81
  68. Slick Willy got a BJ in the Oval Office and his wife was cool with it. Kennedy got his hands on more bumper than a body shop while serving as POTUS. I'm supposed to get outraged at the idea that Trump has had sex before? Nah, life's too short.
    80
  69. American and European breeders produce hundreds of thousands of snakes every year...without driving sewing needles through their faces. Of course, you have to give a damn in order to look for a better way...

  70. Pretty sad when a cop wants you dead more than an abuser does. The cop dropped the taser he was handed, so he could grab his gun and kill this woman.
    78
  71. When Google Assistant calls a company that has an automated menu, will it press 1 for English or 2 for Spanish?
    77
  72. You can tell what kind of family this one comes from. My family loves each other but won't put up with this kind of crap, either. Someone would be snatching up that whistle, right quick and it would probably be grandma. You're not gonna disrespect her house or her holiday gathering with obnoxious whistle-blowing. And if you think you're gonna throw a tantrum about it, you're gonna get put in your place so fast it'll make your head spin. And if you think you're gonna just storm out, you best be looking to walk around the block a few times to cool off because you're not driving anywhere. Your car is already blocked in by half a dozen others. Nobody's moving them unless there's an emergency or it's time to head home. Come to think of it, that's probably why we don't have any pink mohawk-wearing lady-dudes in our family. We weren't raised to be soft-headed.
    75
  73. For that price you can buy a car.
    74
  74. Solution: Tell people to stop trying to live and farm where there isn't enough water to sustain them. It was once a fundamental principle that we settled where water was in abundance. Why? Because it's one of the three things necessary for survival; air, food, and water. If you want to try to live and grow food where there isn't enough water, that's your business. I'll be sure to sign you up as a contestant for the next Darwin Award.
    73
  75. Kind of missing a few obvious points, here. A) Self driving cars have to reach critical mass first. B) Once they reach critical mass, the government will ban traditional cars before they'd be willing to repeal any regulations. I don't know about you but I'm not willing to give up my freedom to drive my car in order to do away with a few safety standards.
    72
  76. I mean...they ultimately work for the current President, so...

  77. Wait...Booker had seven of his neighbors shot last week?! Arrest that man!
    69
  78. My wife and I have the same model of razor in different colors. We buy blades in bulk to save money. I paid a couple of dollars more for my razor because it was a "custom" color (red & black). I didn't have to buy it, I chose to. It's almost as though we all have the choice to buy whatever products we can afford and aren't limited to products based on our genders...
    68
  79. I hope the owners are found and brought to me. They are directly responsible for a kid getting attacked and two dogs dying (the other will surely be put down). None of this happens when you raise a dog right. I've had "evil" breeds my entire life and not a single one ever did anything like this. Dogs, like people, act how they are raised. That kid deserved better. Those dogs deserved better. The dogs' owner deserves much, much worse.
    68
  80. A livestream of the event without any masks and using each other's names? Now that's what I call a confession! No need for a trial on this one. Sentence them and let's be done with them for a few decades.

  81. AmericanNohbuddy ™ Nobody is going to give up their cars. All they are doing is ensuring the same number of cars spend more time on the road, in stop and go conditions. Their intentions don't matter. The results are what matter.

  82. She had ten months left to her drug possession sentence. If negotiations kept going that long, she would have been out before Halloween. Meanwhile, the marine who was wrongfully imprisoned for spying is still looking at something like 17 years. I'm real sorry if she has to go ten more months without her weed but the priority should be the one who isn't going to be out in less than a year.
    65
  83. I really hope that wasn't the highlights.
    65
  84. You absolutely can but the chances of accidentally breaking the neck of someone who strongly believes you're guilty of a heinous crime...pretty slim.
    65
  85. You do realize that the majority of online hate comments for any vehicle, typically comes from people who have never even driven before, right? They're kids who watch a few videos and play driving games on their Xbox, so they think they know something.
    64
  86. Social Security never should have been anything more than a tax-free retirement savings account. Furthermore, it started out as an optional thing. It should have stayed that way. The minute they started talking about making it mandatory, the people should have been threatening their politicians' future in office.
    64
  87. She's an Armenian woman who went to work for and defended a guy who denied the Armenian genocide and named his show after those who committed it. Do you really think she's going to hold his feet to the flames over this?
    63
  88. Hey, folks. Just a reminder that a 12V tire inflator costs as little as $30. It's worth it to be able to air up whenever and wherever you need to. This man was lucky. A tire inflator in the trunk would have meant he could have aired up at his previous location, instead of stopping in a bad area.

  91. "Vampires, pretending to be humans, pretending to be vampires. How avant garde."

  92. You can't really say that our children are our most precious commodity anymore. Money obviously means more to the populous, in general. Everyone agrees that it's acceptable to protect money with armed guards. Bring up doing so for the children and half the room loses their minds. Actions speak louder than words and our nation's priorities are obvious.

  95. Dear Democrats, Please bring a moderate candidate in 2020, so we can get people from both sides to vote for them. Bi-partisan politics has officially failed us and we need to correct course. It's time for a President who both sides can be proud to vote for. No more "lesser of two evils" elections. We've gone too far.

  96.  @johntuel2375  My State requires homeschooled kids to participate in standardized testing. Both of my kids regularly test above their respective grade levels in both math and language arts (the only two offered, unfortunately). I have to assume that with your narrow mind, your last name is pronounced 'tool.'

  97. "Sheridan is where you go to find safety in Wyoming." No, Wyoming is where you go to find safety in Wyoming. The State has a ridiculously low violent crime rate. The safest place in Wyoming is only marginally safer than anywhere else in Wyoming, by national standards.

  100. He decided to method act, lost control of it because he was already an unstable person, and then claims that "Andy" (the dead guy he's pretending to be) just wasn't ready for it to stop - implying he was possessed by Andy's spirit. This man actually has millions of people who idolize him. This world is so screwed.

  102. Inherently apolitical? The only reason EVs other than Teslas exist is because of politics. These manufacturers never would have bothered otherwise. There weren't people boycotting ICE vehicles in any large numbers. It was government pressure (and subsidies) that created most of the industry.

  103. It's almost as though we originally separated male and female sports based on physical differences between biological sexes and not based on intangible and irrelevant things like "what you feel like." Weird, huh?

  104. "Unbourboned by what has gin."
    47
  105. Agreed. It reminds me of people claiming American Pitbull Terriers have "locking jaws." It's gone around so much that people actually think there's some special bone arrangement in their heads that allows their jaws to lock in place. In truth, it's about the style of bite. APBTs perform a "grab and hold" style of bite while many other breeds use a "bite and re-bite" technique. There are no special bones, it's just a trait that was encouraged throughout breeding. It's an important difference that shouldn't be "simplified" to the point of being completely incorrect.

  106. There was an anti-gun lobbyist on the scene. She was a parent from another school shooting, I believe she said. She claimed she was there as a tourist. Somehow, she managed to get right through to the press area and take over the live broadcasts. The people who live in the area were deadlocked in traffic but this woman just cruises right in. Peculiar...

  114.  @m.b.d7001  The doctor who discovered this strain in South Africa is saying the symptoms have been extremely mild. If the "spokespeople" of other Countries are saying something else, that means they're lying - since they don't have firsthand knowledge, like she does. You're being duped.

  116. I'm pretty sure they banned conversion therapy in most States, back when parents were trying to "straighten" out their kids. I'd be willing to bet that the wording of those laws would disallow this type of stuff as well. Maybe it's time for parents to start thumbing through the law and press charges.
    41
  117. As a Handyman, I love this episode. It's true, too. Most people can't do sh*t anymore. I'm doing less work for more money than any time in the last 20 years. I'm turning away work left and right. It's crazy! It's a great time to be in any of the trades, really. People really are pretty helpless for the most part, nowadays. If you can build, wire, plumb, or fix things, people will throw money at you. The only downside is that the mass uselessness has brought out a lot of scam artists, claiming to be handymen. Don't ever hand money to someone for materials, up front. Tell them they can go to the pro desk at Home Depot or Lowe's and you can pay over the phone. This is something I tell everyone. I don't want to handle your money until the job is done. Then it becomes my money.

  118. When I was young, I identified as Skeletor. My parents were very supportive, so they peeled off my face. Later, I decided my gender was no longer Skeletor, so they had my face reconstructed, using meat from my @$$. I am now the only person who can literally talk $h!t. Thanks Mom and Dad! You're the best!

  119. How are people still calling this Mastiff mix a Pitbull? He's an impressive dog but why lie? There's nothing wrong with mixing breeds to make something superior...as long as you're up front about it.

  123. I've got you beat. I just found two VHS tapes form Blockbuster I forgot to return!

  124. To be fair, the dumps out here cost more than nice homes in most places. Meanwhile, a new car costs pretty much the same no matter where you are. So, if you can afford $1500/month rent and a car payment in most of California, what you get is a dump and a new car.

  125. Thumbs down for not re-uploading this video with the audio fixed, after nearly two years.

  126.  @toomanyaccounts  Approved? They shouldn't be regulated at all. They shouldn't be regulating SBRs and SBSs, either. Why should I have to pay $200 more and pass extra background checks to have a 15.95 inch barrel on my rifle, when I'm perfectly fine having a 16.05 inch barrel? Why should I have to worry about what a pistol brace is made of and how I use it? It's ridiculous and anyone with any common sense knows it. If you want to kill people with a rifle that has a short barrel, no law is going to stop you from taking a hacksaw to your barrel. Why? Because you've already decided you want to kill people. Making laws against innocuous things - under the guise of preventing heinous things - is complete horsesh*t.

  127. If she had more time, her loss would have been even worse. The most unlikable primary candidate of 2020 earned that title for a reason. She just lost horribly to a man who was beaten by a senile potato.
    38
  128.  @cal4625  There are no accidental shootings. They're called negligent discharges. The news media came up with the phrase "accidental shooting."
    37
  129.  @narthex1681  Nope, don't bother with that noise. The vast majority of retail theft is things like clothing, shoes, electronics, etc, and it's never just the basics. Always Nike, Couture, etc. You can get clothes and shoes from any number of churches, and you don't need those bluetooth headphones, you just want them. If we were seeing video after video of people stealing groceries... well, you'd still have no argument because California loves handing out EBT cards and has soup kitchens everywhere. So, stop lying.
    37
  130. 8/10 Respectable trolling.
    37
  131. It doesn't even matter. Look carefully at the text of the video (not the clickbait title). Several times over, it says the person died WITH the Omicron variant, not FROM the Omicron variant. There is a big difference between the two. If I got shot in the head right now, I would die WITH high cholesterol, not FROM high cholesterol.
    36
  132. Don't forget, they also hand out free syringes to be left on the sidewalks.
    36
  133. If you think they're mad now, just wait until they find out that Dylan was never trans. That he's just a gay theater kid who never made it, so he decided to pretend to be trans.

  134.  @izzy4897  You should probably do research before commenting. The fact that you don't know the background of this new breed (that is merely based on the old standard) means you shouldn't be speaking on the topic.

  135. Zack No. His palms are sweaty. Knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on his sweater already. Mom's spaghetti.

  136. No Name Are you trying to claim that women never sexually assault/harass men? Really? That must be a really sturdy bubble you're living in. Opaque, too.
    35
  137. Especially considering their mandatory service policy. You would think they'd trust their own veterans with guns.
    35
  138. This is pure abuse. He combined Neo Mastiffs and English Mastiffs and then put them on fast growth diets. No 18 month old dog should weigh 212 pounds. That's near the top end of ADULT English Mastiffs. These dogs are in for a hard life, just trying to make it from one side of the house to the other. They'll have severe joint issues and die suffering. This man is disgusting.
    35
  139. Are you kidding? This Country is in the shape it's in specifically because of all the people who love to be told what to do. They're constantly passing the buck. They give the government all of the power so that they don't have to think too hard about how to live freely. True freedom scares the Hell out of them, so they vote it away every chance they get.
    35
  140. Um...death threats and rape threats are illegal (along with a lot of other so-called bullying). If it's legitimately happening to you and you're not reporting them to the authorities, you're part of the problem. And no, I'm not "victim blaming." Victim blaming would be telling someone that it's their fault they were harassed/bullied. I'm saying it's their fault (at least, partially) when the next person gets threatened by someone who could have been stopped by the previous 'victims' simply reporting a crime.
    34
  141.  @josephross1900  That was not the walk of someone with a load running down their leg. He was lying to get in the house. He was probably one of the TikTok/YouTube pranksters who keep screwing with people who are just trying to live their lives.

  142. The G6 price is for the 32GB Amazon Prime version. It's $179 and comes with Amazon bloatware installed.

  143. You're not "as liberal as they come" if you believe in tough love like that. On the current scale, that makes you a moderate, at best. Quite a few people who are far more liberal than you would even call you a fascist for saying that. To be clear, I agree with you. I just wanted to make sure you knew where you actually stand in all of this. Welcome to the middle.

  144. Benitez is the only judge in California standing in the way of these unconcstitutional "laws." I hope he has a large security detail to protect him from a Democrat "suicide" attempt.
    33
  145. While I disagree with the current agenda of the LGBTQ, I also disagree that banning flags is standing up for the USA. I support everyone's first amendment rights, not just those I agree with. When the government violates anyone's rights, they're violating everyone's rights. People have the right to wave a Pride flag, just as they have the right to say "I don't like that Pride flag." What you're supporting isn't patriotism. It's a group of Muslims who are testing the waters, for installing Sharia Law in one corner of our great nation. That can't be allowed.
    33
  146. #GetWokeGoBroke Joe It's not an empty threat. Letting this man slide on all of the shady practices he and his company partake in, is akin to agreeing with them. You had a chance to be classic Joe and ask the hard-hitting questions. You didn't. You actually sound like you're trying to help him sound justified in his decisions. Despicable. Look at the ratio. Read the comments (instead of deleting them). You're going to lose numbers over this.
    33
  147. That town is Cancer. Moving was the chemotherapy that saved me. It is the absolute perfect example of what California elites want to turn the whole State into: A place for the poor masses to serve the whims of the rich, and do so happily for the sake of being somewhere "pretty." I just hope my friends and family make it out before the place implodes on itself (or before they starve to death).
    33
  148. How did I never hear about this? Oh, I see. It's because he used a shotgun. If it had been an AR it would be a primary anti-gun talking point but they can't do that because Joe Biden told us to stop buying ARs and start buying shotguns. You're right Joe, he really DIDN'T need an AR...

  150. I have no pride in my race. It's not an accomplishment. I'm proud to be a good husband and father. I'm proud of my children. I'm proud of my work. That being said, I have no shame about my race, either. It's okay to be White. It's okay to be Black. It's okay to be Brown. It's all fine. It's just not an accomplishment, in any regard.

  151. Well, since nicotine (without the tar from cigarettes) has similar effects on the body as caffeine, I'd say you're in a much better place than you were.

  152.  @keelychow4569  Sorry but I've got my new State picked out, already. I'm not mentioning it online (don't want any Californians getting any ideas about moving there) but it's not Alabama. Beautiful State, though and some of the nicest people I've met were Alabamans.
    31
  153. When I was a kid, I thought I was Skeletor. Naturally, my parents did the right thing and peeled off my face. I'm pretty ugly now. I stopped thinking I was Skeletor, so they had to use parts of my ass to reconstruct my face. I'm now the only man on earth who can literally talk shit. Thanks Mom & Dad. You're the best!

  158. Agreed. As soon as a "law" is determined to be unconstitutional, all those who signed it should be removed from office immediately for breaking their oath to uphold and defend the constitution.
    29
  159. Proof that the vast majority of political discussion on the Internet could simply be replaced by a representative number of bots who comment "RED!" or "BLUE!" on every topic. There's almost no consideration for the actual issues, just cheerleading for their chosen side. It's amazing how being able to connect to everyone has been so divisive.

  161. 12 deaths with Omicron. They haven't confirmed that a single one was actually caused by Omicron. Nor can I find any numbers on how many of those deaths were vaccinated.
    28
  162. It's fun to go by the shelter numbers, because it makes the situation seem less bleak. About 70% of California's homeless don't have access to, and/or space in, available shelters. So, take those numbers and triple them, then we'll be in the ballpark of reality.
    28
  163. ​ @yarrowTV  Since when is it lifesaving healthcare to enshrine children in an ideology that results in a 42% attempted suicide rate? And don't try that nonsense about it being due to bullying. Slaves and holocaust victims didn't have a 42% suicide rate and trans people have it much better than either of those groups. It's clearly a deeper issue than bullying. I'd be curious to know how many are people who transitioned (or started to) realized it wasn't the right choice, couldn't reverse the procedure properly, and then couldn't live with what they had done to themselves. Those things don't get reported, though. That would get in the way of a multi-billion dollar industry, and the people they take advantage of, after all.
    28
  164. Gosh, let's take breeds that were already ruined by forced growth, combine them and force growth even further! What a waste. You missed the most important part of the ancient breed, which was functionality. These dogs are nothing more than EM+Neo mixes. Just big, heavy and useless compared to real protection breeds. Congratulations on making yet another oversized dog that will suffer long and die early.
    28
  165. "Nobody wants to be homeless." Brother, you need to interview people before speaking for them. When I was on the streets, I knew at least a dozen people who had a choice not to be homeless but were. Places like LA and Santa Barbara are peppered with people who choose it. That's not to say that all or even most have a choice but to say that nobody is choosing that lifestyle is just wrong.
    28
  166.  @jeffjackson6358  If campus police were notified and they checked his backpack, they would have found the gun. He would have been arrested, charged, sent to juvie, and likely made to do counseling. I love people who act like letting people commit crimes is better than stopping them.
    28
  167.  @redcinder7595  The fact that you have one example to point to in the 90s - instead of the dozens just over the past few years - should tell you something. Yes, there were racists. There always have been and there always will be. Yes, there were problems in law enforcement. Again, always has been and always will be. As long as there are humans, there will be bad humans who get jobs in positions of power. Sorry to have to be the one to break that to you. That doesn't mean their actions are acceptable to the rest of society. Rodney King's beating by those cops wasn't celebrated or considered "just another day" by the vast majority of the US. It was condemned from the get-go. Or are we pretending that the constant media coverage was because everyone was happy about it? Pointing out a horrible thing that happened in a time period when everyone else thought it was horrible, too, is not the edgy comeback you think it is.
    27
  168.  @obcl8569  It's not that complex. My kids don't have social media accounts. The consequence of them making accounts behind my back is the permanent loss of their phones. It's not hard when you're actually willing to do what it takes.
    27
  169. That's why I love this channel. You keep doing videos I didn't know I needed to see. I'll have to give those Wrangler Riggs a try, next time I'm buying jeans. A comparison of the various fire hose/canvas work pants would be another I'd happily sit through. Currently a Duluth Trading Company fan but I'm open to trying something else based on your testing. You've got the best test channel on YouTube!
    27
  170. And then the supervisor shut off his camera, as though it was a reflex. Basically, there was too much evidence to try to hide it, so they had no choice but to let him go. The fact that the supervisor's first instinct was to make sure he didn't record any evidence - of what he was clearly suspicious was misconduct - tells you everything you need to know.

  175. When I was selling cars, it was a good day when you could get someone to pay MSRP. The current market is insane. They already have a very big profit, just between invoice and MSRP. They do not need these markups. It's pure greed. Hold the line. Make them sweat.

  177. Surge pricing is a really good way to lose a lot of business during the hours when these restaurants make the most money. If they really want to do that, more power to them. Where there's a Wendy's, there's a McDonald's, a Subway, a Burger King...

  179. ​ @almontoya5703  They let him quit and didn't file charges, which means he gets to go be a r@pist cop at some other precinct. A detainee cannot legally consent to s3x. This is - for all intents and purposes - statutory r@pe, and he got away with no real repercussions...except maybe a longer commute to his next job.
    26
  180.  @NoBrakes23  All calibers "can be disappointing." There is sub-par ammo of every type, brand notwithstanding. However, traditionally, . 44 Special, .45 Colt, and .45 ACP are ballistically similar in standard loadings. One was designed as a competitor to another and one was designed as a modern version of another. That being said, there are also "light for caliber" .44 Magnum options out there that feel like peppy .44 Special loads. These guns can function well with those, too. My primary point is that you don't have to shoot wrist-breakers just because you've got a big bore. My point stands.
    26
  181. OOPS! The frontline doctors have already said the symptoms of Omicron have been very mild. If it's more transmissible and less deadly, it would be a very good thing to have it hit. That way, people can get it with less risk and build their own immunity for COVID in general.

  186. Seems like somebody is bitter when faced with the fact that some people have ambitions beyond their current standing. Calm down. Nobody is asking you to better yourself or strive for more.
    25
  187.  @clydegray9714  It will play out based on who initiates the exchange. Rittenhouse was attacked by multiple assailants, attempted to flee, defended himself, and was set free by a jury. Arbery was attacked by multiple assailants, attempted to flee, attempted to defend himself (and failed,) and his attackers were prosecuted. It's almost as though it's not legal to form mobs and attack people in the street...

  189. AmericanNohbuddy ™ Well, they could have focused on that but instead, the powers that be decided to hold onto that money and instead just make traffic worse for the taxpayers. Most politicians don't care about making anything better. They just care about looking like they do, so they can get re-elected. Fortunately, this ridiculous plan is blowing up in their faces.

  191. Bless all those who love this Country enough to respect our laws and come here legally. I'm proud to call you my fellow Americans.
    24
  192. Does everyone remember when there was suddenly a shortage of at-home tests, so people started flooding the hospitals to get tested, and ended up straining the system (I hope so because it's still happening)? Yeah, you can thank Biden for that. Government contracts take precedence. When he ordered 500,000,000 tests for distribution, he completely derailed regular supplies of them, causing all of the testing problems we've been having. The scariest eleven words in the English language: We are from the government and we are here to help.

  196. ​​ @1krani Ukraine already had fairly lax gun laws by European standards, so many people were already armed before things went down. When the war broke out, they suspended all gun laws, put out a call to arms, and started handing out weapons to every able-bodied man.
    23
  197. The problem being that the US is the most talked about country in international news, so people in other countries know more about our problems than we do about theirs? Yup, you're right. That is a problem.
    23
  198. Herbert N That would have been a really edgy comment five to ten years ago. There's nothing controversial about being gay. There's no "gotcha" to implying someone's in the closet. Sorry you wasted the keystrokes, Herbie.

  200. I can't believe he paid $1500 for that thing. He'd have been better served grinding a crude edge onto a leaf spring and calling it a sword. I wonder if he got the matching stop sign "shield" to go with that tape measure of a "sword."
    23
  201. There's no anti-immigrant movement. The vast majority of us come from immigrants. There is a "come here legally" movement. I would hope that this guy - who obviously did it the right way - would appreciate the difference.
    22
  202. Right? When I was a kid, my favorite movie Character was Blade. Wesley Snipes was a badass and I wanted to be his daywalking, half-vampire character. I'm white! I also wanted to be Raphael, the Ninja Turtle. I'm obviously not green and don't have a shell.

  203. Dale Wolfe But why? Seems like it's just reinforcing stereotypes. Not all gay men are "stylish" and not all straight men are "backward."
    22
  204. Married With Children was an amazing show. Everyone should commit to watching it all the way through.
    22
  205. I was gonna say, it was terrible landlords that expanded renter's rights to the point of being detrimental. However, landlords didn't cause "squatters' rights" to be a thing. This is residual from the days of taking a horse and buggy across the plains and staking claims to land. It then morphed, due to periods when people were abandoning property and the states saw a benefit to allowing others to take over that land. That way, there would be someone responsible for the tax bill. You're not wrong. Greedy politicians are behind this.
    22
  206. That is the greatest thing I've read in days.

  207.  @ReasonAboveEverything  You need welding skills? Those are some fancy guns you're making. Look up "slam fire shotgun." No tools (unless you want to get into butt stocks and such). Widely available parts. 30 minutes of shopping, 5 minutes of building, 1 hour for the glue to dry (really well). Done and done. Pump out a few hundred in your garage while your neighbor is waiting for his 3D printer to arrive in the mail.
    22
  208.  @marieh7861  No, there are papers. There have been plenty of breeders who have paid for fake papers. Considering how much this guy is charging for pups in that bloodline, it's not at all far fetched to think he did the same. The real question for all of you "true believers" is: where did he get a mastiff head shape, loose skin and mastiff jowls from if he's just an oversized pitbull? Those features don't exist in pitbull lines. I've seen them in plenty of bandogges and mastiff mixes, though. It's okay if you don't have an answer. Nobody else seems to, either. I mean, besides those of us who know what a mastiff mix looks like and are willing to call it like we see it.
    22
  209. Brian Yatsuko It was, indeed. He told us that we should get shotguns and if we hear a noise outside, we should open the door and fire two blasts into the night to scare away the presumed attacker. Of course, the noise I heard was the door bell and the presumed attacker was a trick-or-treater...but I still think his advice was sound.
    22
  210. Okay but seriously, does anyone else feel like most of California's bureaucracy and legislation appears to be based around making people want to leave the state?

    22
  213. Well, you see, when you have multiple bags to carry it's possible to make more than one trip to your car. Exactly how many times can you walk to your car and back in the span of 2-3 days? Even if every, single gun was in its own, separate bag and there was another one just for ammunition, why wouldn't you be able to make a dozen trips to the car and carry two bags each time? If this is the logistics problem people are having with this shooting, I worry for humanity.
    21
  214.  @foogriffy  I love that the standard people are going for these days is "Let the homeless continue to starve on the streets comfortably!" as though that's some kind of moral position to take. How about advocating for actual help for the homeless, rather than just calling for them to be made a little less uncomfortable? You can have your nice city, with your comfortable benches but only after you and the tens of millions of people living in these cities do something to help get the homeless off the streets. Deal?
    21

  216. marianushn Are you saying this informational video should have had a political bias? I think it's just fine the way it is.
    21
  217. Not possible. Most major American cities are and have been run by Democrats, for the better part of a century. Democrat politicians will tell you all day long how much they care about poverty and crime, and how hard they work to stop it. Since the largest cities have the most money, said politicians have plenty of resources at their disposal. Therefore, it is ridiculous to say that crime and poverty are high in major American cities. It's not like the people running those cities would intentionally keep people impoverished, to win their votes with promises of financial aid. Nor would they keep crime rates high, to help them scare voters into giving up their freedoms. Nope, that's just unbelievable. Where there is a Democrat super-majority, there is a place with virtually no crime or poverty.
    21
  218. Who doesn't think police brutality is real? That would be like believing the earth is flat. Meanwhile, he never said that CV wasn't real. He addressed some actual, verifiable facts about it, while joking about the extreme (and often useless) steps people take to avoid it.

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

  228. McHitler Actually, removing DACA is about reversing an unconstitutional order and requiring it to be put through the proper channels. Obama overstepped. This was going to be decided in the SCOTUS soon, anyway. I don't personally want to see people's lives messed up, either. I just want to see our government do this the right way. Truthfully, I'd love to see a massive repeal of all unconstitutional laws, so we have a better path forward for everyone. We've let the politicians play fast and loose with the rulebook for way too long.

  231. Of course they are. That's how they've been padding the numbers from the start. Watch any number of the interviews with heads of State and medical talking heads. They're trying so hard to use creative language to make Omicron seem much worse than it is. They don't want people to stop getting vaccinated, boosted, etc, so they twist things to keep people scared. Thus far, Omicron has a reported 100% survival rate, regardless of vaccination status. That's the only thing that matters.

  237. I'm sorry to have to disagree with this gentleman but in my experience, he's wrong. I've met and conversed - at length - with every teacher my children have ever had. Most seemed competent at teaching the curriculum they were given. None had any special information on race, gender, or sexuality that gave them any more authority on the subject than anyone else. Even those few who were especially intelligent and well read on current issues, weren't custodians of any groundbreaking knowledge to which I had not been privy. Given the givens, I'll not be just blindly trusting anyone with regards to my children's upbringing (and yes, formal education is a cornerstone to upbringing). I am their father and whether this gentleman wants to believe it or not, that means I have the final say in my children's lives. It's not a responsibility that I - or any other real parent - takes lightly.

I do happen to know quite a few breeders in the US and a couple in the UK. It's really not hard to do. All you have to do is visit a few expos and join a few groups online and bam; you're part of the reptile community. Maybe you should try it out. You'd be surprised at how much better they treat their animals than the people in this video. And your quip about "starting at the bottom" is moronic, at best. I'm starting at the bottom and I don't mistreat my snakes. What does starting at the bottom have to do with understanding that driving sewing needles through an animal's face is harmful? My kids have known better than that since they were toddlers but these adults are supposed to get a pass? Not likely. Troll harder next time. This was just sad.

The entire Country is getting gentrified, by people who finally figured out that their States' policies make life unlivable. Rather than stay and help roll things back (which would require admitting they were wrong) they take the money from the sale of their overpriced Coastal home and jump ship.

  274. @Jono Holmes The democratic process (outlined in the Constitution), the right to dismantle the government if it becomes destructive (outlined in the Declaration of Independence), etc keep us from becoming a dictatorship. The Fourth Estate aka the Press (outlined in the Constitution) merely serves as a possible independent system of keeping the government in cheque. That does not mean that any organization calling themselves the Press is presumed benevolent or is beyond scrutiny. Any body of the Press that proves to be untrustworthy should be called out as such. Anyone claiming otherwise is merely supporting a different form of tyranny. If you love the US and her people then you must always question those who presume to be an authority, in any form. Freedom requires vigilance and scrutiny. Blindly following the news media - simply because they have a right to exist, as outlined in the Constitution - is not patriotism. By that logic, you're saying that we should also blindly follow the government. After all, the Constitution says that they should exist, too. Take care, brother. Freedom isn't free.

  277. Nah. This latest craze is driven by hipster YouTubers with plenty of money. They make videos of these unrealistic off-grid setups and then a bunch of naive people go running out to look for land. They pretty much all fail within the first two years and end up selling/losing the land. They don't care about rights or personal liberty. Honestly, if these people would just spend a Summer in a remote cabin rental, they'd realize they're not cut out for it and stay in their cities, where they belong. Instead, they jack up real estate prices and screw over everyone who legitimately wants that land. Let them do that in States that are more restrictive. We don't need it in free America.

  278.  @tin2001  Exactly. My Sex Ed teacher was a really laid back guy. He understood that there was plenty for kids to joke about when it came to sex and he rolled with it pretty well, all while keeping us from getting out of hand with it. We had a guest speaker come in one day, who apparently thought that being incredibly vulgar and overly descriptive helped her "connect" with students. He stopped her in the middle of her presentation and took her out to the hall. He explained that she would be classroom appropriate or she would be made to leave. She stormed off. My teacher came back into the classroom, apologized for the speaker's inappropriate language, and assured us that he wouldn't allow anyone in his classroom who would speak to his students in such a way. THIS WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. These kids are being thrown to the wolves, when those of us who are old enough to be their parents were protected from such things, even when we were nearing voting age. Insanity.

  279. Brett M Nice blanket statement. Would you like to get a bit more vague? "Men degrade women" isn't a thing. Some men degrade women. Some women degrade men. There's no on/off switch that controls the actions of an entire gender, because people act individually. This whole premise that we are all just members of different hive minds is ridiculous. If porn is the reason men degrade women, why is there more mistreatment of women in Countries where porn is prohibited and/or severely frowned upon? In case you hadn't noticed, the Countries where sex is celebrated (instead of shunned) are the Countries where men and women have the most balance in society. Your viewpoint is based in old, puritanical ideology and in no way reflects the reality of how the world actually works. In fact, the continued path towards equality between men and women in the US has moved parallel to the acceptance of porn in the public view. How does your little theory account for that?

  282.  @captmaverickable  Hybrids are the right answer but nobody seems to like it. It's as though everything has become so politically charged that the idea of a reasonable compromise is incomprehensible to most people. I'm looking at plug-in hybrids right now. I drive about 30 miles/day, so the battery will be plenty most of the time. When I drive further, forget to charge, or am hit with Winter weather, the gas engine is there to pick up the slack. Seems like a no-brainer to let my vehicle make the compromise so that I don't have to.

  283. To the wannabe homesteaders: Do everyone a favor. When you give up within three years - because it turns out that homesteading is really hard - please re-list your property within a reasonable margin of what you paid for it/put into it. There are already too many people out there who are trying to get an extra $100,000+ for homes they bought a few years ago, only to have to return to their cities when their bosses figured out they weren't doing any work remotely. The market is ridiculous as it is. Please don't add to it by trying to make others pay for your mistakes. Thank you.

  287. Yes, I agree. This generation of hipster "off-grid" types should definitely choose Tennessee over Kentucky. Considering most of them don't last two years before they're re-selling the land at double the price due to "improvements," they would do nothing but hurt the locals in Kentucky by pricing them out. Since a bunch of New Yorkers and Californians are moving to Tennessee anyway, the locals are already screwed when it comes to buying their own land. Might as well keep the problem localized.

  289. Truth. I paid $115,000 for an 1800sq/ft 4/2 in a downtown location (smaller city but in California). If I were so inclined, I could add all of these Smart Home features to it and still not be at their high end (about $175,000). Plus, there's the fact that this whole "house" would almost fit in my bedroom. This isn't the kind of thing that solves a housing crisis. People realizing they are living outside of their means to survive and then moving to places where they can afford to live. THAT is the answer. Densely packed cities are just a great way to suck money out of those who don't have enough of it.

  298. The "No Smoking" rule at gas stations has little to do with the cigarette, itself. The act of lighting a cigarette typically involves a lighter. An open flame is capable of igniting gasoline or its fumes. Rather than put this incredibly fine point on the issue by having "No Lighting Cigarettes With An Open Flame" signs, they simply say "No Smoking" to cover all bases easily. The fact is, more gas station fires (per year) are started by static charge - from getting in and out of your vehicle and then touching the nozzle - than by smokers doing their thing.

That Cenk constantly pushing Bernie Sanders to his audience did far more for him than if TYT had donated $10,000 to his campaign... and he's right. Some people don't have platforms with huge followings of mindless sheep to do their bidding, so they opt to write a check. If you want to get rid of business donations, then you have to get rid of them in ALL forms - not just monetary. Otherwise, all you're doing is giving more power to the talking heads. They already have too much power as it is. THAT is why the Supreme Court is willing to treat monetary donations as speech in this case. Either business are allowed to back a candidate or they're not. Cenk wants to take influence away from monetary donors while still being able to push his agenda his own way. There's nothing righteous or benevolent about that.

All that means is the next time they get stopped, they get arrested, processed, and released...again. It's insane.

The two aren't remotely in the same category. When was the last time you took an entire family (including dogs and luggage) on a cross country trip on a bicycle? My point stands. A car is a complex piece of machinery that's capable of carrying multiple people and cargo, at freeway speeds, in nearly all weather conditions. This thing in the video isn't even comparable to a Walmart bike with a weed whacker motor mounted on it and that would cost you all of $500 and a day of turning a wrench.

  330. Not every healthcare worker. They booted 30-40% of them over them not wanting to get vaccinated. That's weird, huh? That many medical professionals who did not feel it was in their best interest to get the vaccine. So much so, in fact, that they were willing to lose their careers over it. Of course, we don't listen to those healthcare professionals because they don't support the narrative, right? Meanwhile, your vaccine is so effective that Omicron is hitting the vaccinated at a higher rate than the unvaccinated. I know, it must have been the unvaccinated who taught this variant how to bypass the vaccine, right? It couldn't possibly have been the deeply flawed vaccines that caused it. No, that is too terrifying to even consider. Better just get another booster and try not to think about it.

  332. Are you new? You just described the majority of actors. Hell, Anthony Hopkins is one of the most renowned actors of his time and he's quoted as having said that all he does is read the lines. That he doesn't get "into character" so much as he makes the character fit him.

  333.  @TheJeffL  Irrelevant. I don't care about the motives of those who are providing me with information about how my tax dollars are spent. I only care about the authenticity of that information. I do not want my tax money spent on things like this. I am glad that people are pointing out these programs, as they certainly won't be dismantled without people knowing about them. You're preaching against the free exchange of information - seemingly because you don't like the people who are sharing it. It makes me really glad "TheJeffL" isn't in charge of free speech in this country.

  334. ​ @scaryperi3051  Most people finish their development between 23 and 25 years old. The idea of a truly post-pubescent teenager is pretty far fetched. That's not to say I think we should raise the age of majority to 25, but to say that someone under 18 should just make all of their own major medical decsions is the wrong tact, as well.

  337. marianushn Way to miss the point. This video provided all of the necessary information on the topic without the need to "choose a side." There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. There's no need for a principled position in this case. it's merely a video providing facts. Why should they inject opinion into a video that already stands on its own merit? And before you get vague again, I'm talking about THIS video. Let's not try to wander down the path of generalizations again, shall we?

  338. Of course. Most of the teens are just caught up in the rebellion and trendiness of it. My son knows more thsn a dozen kids who were "trans"...for about a month or two. A few managed to do it for a full school year. Then, it got boring and they went back to looking for another form of rebellion. The sooner they can get kids taking hormones, the sooner they get them hooked on the euphoric feeling that comes with hormone injections (it's a well documented side effect). That feeling makes them think they're doing the right thing. When it eventually wears off, they're far enough into the treatments/procedures that they don't want to admit they were wrong and stop. Eventually, they end up mutilated, depressed, and (no surprise) suicidal. This is a multi-billion dollar industry at this point. There is a whole lot of money in transitioning and children are the easiest among us to manipulate.

  339. Honestly, if you want your cooling system to run cooler, just replace your thermostat with a lower temp one. Most cooling systems are capable of better cooling right out of the factory but the stock thermostat kicks in higher than necessary. My stock thermo was a 195F. I swapped it for a 180F and it's doing great.

  340. ​ @MikeB3542  The US wastes 92 Billion pounds of food, annually. I think we can probably manage to survive if the farmers cut back a bit on their output. Not to mention the fact that the majority of us could handle a few years of eating smaller meals. This, in turn, would help with general health - which means fewer cases of diabetes, heart disease, etc. Even our poor are dying of decadence.

  342.  @marieh7861  I've seen the videos and I remain skeptical. Just because he shows two dogs breeding, doesn't mean he's showing the real parents breeding. As for owning the lines, so what? Again, it's his word that he never introduced Mastiffs into the lines. Nothing more. I noticed that you don't have an answer for the fact that Hulk has features not present in pitbull lines. Who's ignoring facts, again? "No honey, I swear I didn't cheat on you! I have no idea why the baby is black!" 😂 Come on, Nan. Don't be naive.
    13
  343.  @marieh7861  Yeah, a buddy of mine filmed "his" son being born, too. Of course, a DNA test later confirmed that he wasn't the father. Anyone can film a birth. It doesn't prove genetics. As for blockheads, they're not pure pitbulls, either. They're APBT/AmStaff crosses. Maybe you need to do some research. Not every square-headed dog is a true pit. You sound like an ignorant newscaster. So, you've explained how mixing other breeds in can make "pitbulls" with blocky heads and completely avoided everything else I mentioned. That's strange! I thought you were so knowledgeable! Surely you can explain the mastiff jowls on this "pure pit," right? Or are you going to try to claim that's naturally occurring in pits, too? Or hey, maybe you can explain with your vast knowledge how he took a breed that has a standard size of 35-70 pounds and managed to line breed it up over 200 pounds in just a few generations...without interbreeding. Considering the fact that no other breeder in human history has ever been able to do that, it seems pretty unlikely. Get off it. Anyone with eyes and who isn't trying to fool themselves can see that this dog isn't a pure pit. I don't know why you're taking it so personally, though. It's not like he's your dog. Oh, no. You aren't one of the people who got duped into buying one of his "pure" puppies, are you? That would just be too funny.

  344. Nothing wrong with knowing how to protest - it's a Constitutional right. I think all kids should understand their rights before they graduate, as that's around the age they gain full access to them. It's a very involved subject, so it should be taught from primary school on through high school. I protest gun control here, in California, whenever possible. It's one of the many tools we have against government overreach.

  348. Zoe Thomas The same reason most people get annoyed when they find out someone is a Jehovah's Witness. It's not that being one is bad. It's just that typically, the rare interactions they have with one involves listening to a dissertation on how much more enlightened a Vegan/Jehovah is and how anyone who chooses not to be one is reprehensible. Tends to leave a bad taste in your mouth and put you on the quick offensive whenever you meet someone who claims said lifestyle.

  349. CozaGames I love it when people bring up the popular vote when talking about US Presidential elections. It's like when you're playing chess with someone and they say "I would have won if the horsey piece could move straight and the Queen could jump her own pieces." It's not how the game is played, so it's completely irrelevant.

  359. Kentucky is one of the poorest states. California is by far the wealthiest. California is number six and Kentucky isn't even on the list. Even poor people can get an education, if their state puts focus on it.

He bred Neo Mastiffs with English Mastiffs and is then breeding the most desirable of the G1 offspring to create a more standardized G2 line, etc. This is how you create a new breed. Granted, they aren't a very good breed but they definitely aren't just "big Neos."

  364.  @abn76280  Well, I live in Shasta County and have had my power shut off three times when there was (what we consider) moderate wind. I'm sorry that your frail, little narrative of "y'all aren't from there" fell apart but that's what happens when you make bold claims with no evidence. I've lived in different parts of the Northstate for the past 16 years. There's nothing new going on with the weather. PG&E has finally gotten nailed for pocketing money instead of repairing our infrastructure. So now, they're shutting us down every time two cows fart at the same time, to cover their asses and until very recently, the State has done virtually nothing to prevent it.

Yes, if you vacation in NYC, LA, SF, Chicago, etc, you're going to think the US is a terrible place. If your only opinion of the US is formed from watching the reality TV shows that are our national news programs, you're going to think we're a third world country. Meanwhile, every European transplant I've ever known is in love with the US and never wants to go back.

When fired, the crimp in the casing opens up and the escaping gasses (and fire) exit through the barrel. Now, if we're talking about shotgun blanks, that can be a different story but the projectile is usually a cardboard shot card.

  371. Thanks for telling me all the places most Californians are moving to. Now I know which States to avoid when I finally get out. I'm not going to uproot my family just to end up in the same situation in a few years. Californians created California's problems. I don't want to be within 500 miles of another Californian when I get out (which is how far I am from most Southern Californians, now). These people honestly think that giving more power to an already corrupt State government is going to help them. It's insane! I'll be crossing these States off of my list. I just hope the people who live there don't let the Blue Bandits destroy their homes as they're blowing in to town. Thanks again!

In what universe is it not okay to bring a clock to school?! Well, here it is folks. This is absolute proof that the terrorists have already won. We actually allowed them to turn us into a nation of paranoid lunatics - afraid of our own shadows. We fear the bad guys, we fear the good guys.....we even fear our own children.

  374. I thought he was going to explain why Ana - who has been adamant about how much she despises people who "fat shame" others - called someone a "fat f*¢k." Also why Jimmy Dore thought that spitting in the face of someone he disagrees with was the right way to deal with the situation. It seems like this was the perfect opportunity for the extreme Left to prove that they're better than the extreme Right...and they failed miserably. It's almost as though extremists are childish, screaming idiots no matter which side of the debate they're on. What I'd give for a neutral news outlet, run by level-headed adults.

  376. +Clipstreu And that's when you take those years of experience and put them on a resumé to present to other employers. Nobody ever said you were supposed to make a career out of whatever minimum wage job you can find. If there's no ladder to climb where you're at, you don't whine about it. You go find someone with a ladder. If there are no jobs at the next level, THAT'S what you complain about. That's the real problem. I see hundreds of thousands of people shouting "PAY US MORE TO DO THE SAME THING WE'VE ALWAYS DONE!" instead of "GIVE US MORE SKILLED JOBS THAT PAY A LIVING WAGE SO WE CAN GIVE THE ENTRY LEVEL JOBS BACK TO THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS!" I give no sympathy to anyone who thinks that doing enough to not get fired for a few years is the same as working hard towards making more money. Sorry.

  380. Dane Potmo First off, I live in California. California is one of the two bluest States in the Union. My vote does not affect the electoral college at all. However, what I can do is help get more third-party politicians into lower offices than the Presidency, to help bring them legitimacy. The worst thing that can happen to democracy is for it to become locked into a two-party battle. We have been there for quite some time. Both parties are irreparably corrupt. It's time for a REAL change. Your problem with my "mental math" is that you think there are only two numbers in the equation.

Most of the time, we don't even have a plan for what we're doing, at that point. Good and hell well, we know when it's gonna happen, though.

Most people seem to ignore the obvious, choose a "most moved to State" that they can afford, and go for it. Then, they try to change the State to make them more comfortable. It's insane. Pro tip for those who are thinking about relocating: There are 49 other States to choose from. Do the research and choose the one that's right for you, not the one that's trending.

That only leaves firearms (unconstitutional to regulate) and explosives (lawful to regulate for industrial purposes). So, basically, they should be reduced to the Bureau of Explosives and then be absorbed into OSHA.

The fact that every one of my nieces and nephews passed their driving tests on their first try should scare the hell out of you. They're bad drivers.

As it stands, the most stressful part of driver testing is parallel parking! That's ridiculous!

  440. Squid280 You don't see the difference between using the Constitution to secure rights for more people (the reason we have a Constitution in the first place) and ignoring it to give the Federal government power it shouldn't have? The entire reason we have an amendable Constitution is because the framers knew they weren't perfect and so designed a system where the people could ultimately decide if we wanted to add more FREEDOMS to it by way of additional government restrictions. It was never meant to be wielded against the people or - just as bad - ignored completely for their own power grabs. Slavery NEEDED to be abolished. The Civil War did not NEED to happen. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed in a war that could have been avoided. Instead of spending years fighting a war, they could have spent those same years discussing policies that would allow the Southern States to abolish slavery without going bankrupt. But no. Instead, two hot-headed sides stopped talking and started shooting. States' rights could have been preserved AND slavery could have been abolished. Unfortunately, the wrong people shared your over-simplistic view, so it ended with blood. Rest assured, I'll never vote for "Squid280."

Just like in grade school, you overestimated your importance and got a hard dose of reality for it.

As for the rest of your comment, perhaps you should spend some time with your minister/pastor discussing what it means to be a Christian. Hint: being apathetic as to the final destination of other people's souls is not a defining characteristic of Christianity. The point is to be more like Jesus, not less. How do you think he feels right now, looking upon this conversion and seeing that one of his representatives is so quick to write someone off, simply for challenging their position? What Would Jesus Do? I'm guessing he wouldn't imply that it's fine with him if I go to Hell. Just something to think about.

Wasn't it 30 second ago we were protecting kids from their parents? Now we're supposed to believe that parents are the ones who are going to do right by their kids. Which is it...or is it either? It's starting to seem like certain people just really want to transition a bunch of kids and don't care which adults they have to use to do it. Parents, teachers...whoever is willing to help indoctrinate the kids is an ally and whoever is slowing the process down is an enemy, it would seem. God forbid a child have to wait long enough to actually be sure about such a major decision, right? No, no, let's get the ball rolling before they have a chance to change their mind! Gotta get those numbers up! Maybe people should be spending more time trying to find the real cause of the 42% suicide rate among trans people, instead of trying to get more kids to go down that road. We know it's not "the bullying." Chattel slaves and Holocaust Jews didn't have anywhere near that high of a suicide rate and I dare say they were bullied worse than trans people in the 21st century. Maybe it's being told for so long that transitionjng will help the depression and dysphoria, only to find out after years of hormones, chemicals, and surgeries, that it didn't...

It's just that they sit in a solution, in a sealed can, that helps keep them from growing anything unwanted. Dent a can and cause a little pin hole and you'll end up with the same problems. The only way to completely trust your food is to grow/raise it yourself. Since I don't own a farm and I'm not a paranoid nut bag, I'll go ahead and continue to eat a varied diet based on foods that are processed as little as possible. Yes, that includes sardines. No, that will never be my only source of meat.

  460.  @jeffsimpson1421  I remember a time when people didn't conflate "legal" and "normal." I haven't seen any 17-year-olds walking around with rifles and vests in my city. Most people haven't. In fact, you probably haven't. Nobody said it was normal. It is, however, legal in a lot of places. In fact, it used to be legal in even more jurisdictions. You know, back in the day? In fact, it was even a lot more normal to see teens with rifles then, too. Yeah. Back then, there were actually quite a lot of teenagers who had rifles/shotguns with them wherever they went - they just had them in their vehicles. It was perfectly normal to have a long gun in your vehicle. Go to any suburban or rural high school and you'd find parking lots full of vehicles with long guns in them. It was weird to find that said vehicles were even locked, yet nobody was gunning down their classmates. The guns have always been here and were once a much bigger part of our culture. Since that's true, maybe it's time to start focusing on the underlying causes of violence, rather than talking about the 'scary' 17-year-old with a gun - that he used to defend himself from said violence.

  462. We got here by taking a good idea too far. Once upon a time, renters had no rights. They could be tossed out with no warning and no reason, at a moment's notice. Perfectly respectable tenants who paid their rent on time and took good care of the homes they were renting could just be booted onto the street, with no chance to find somewhere else to live. This, obviously, was a bad situation that many slum lords took full advantage of. Laws started to be put in place to protect good people from being tossed out onto the street. However, those laws were added to and added to, to the point where bad actors could take advantage of them. Now, instead of slum lords victimizing good tenants, we have squatters victimizing homeowners and landlords. Basically, where there's a loophole in the system, there will be scumbags who will exploit it. What the world needs is fewer scumbags.

  465.  @eliasshedd  He has already flip-flopped on that, like he does everything else. I've got some news for you: The guy who said kids could get AIDS from touching cereal boxes does not have the final say on how diseases spread. I don't really care what Fauci says, one way or another. I watch the data and see what it says. So far, the data is very promising. By the way, the data doesn't only say that Omicron is milder. It also says that being vaccinated only provides about 35% protection from catching Omicron and being boosted only brings you up to about 75%. The data says that the relatively few who are dying with Omicron have serious comorbidities and/or are elderly...regardless of vaccination status. So, Fauci can sing and dance to whichever tune he chooses on a given day. The data is the data.

If those urbanites had stayed in their cities where they belong, we wouldn't be in as bad of a real estate situation as we are, now.

  477. Double jab gives you a "whopping" 35% protection level from getting Omicron.

  485. "Solutions" would be the answer to why that can't happen. The solutions from both sides are fundamentally different. Gun owners believe that the solution to gun crime is for law abiding citizens to carry guns to defend themselves. The other side believes that the solution to gun crime is to reduce the number of people who carry guns. How would you resolve this very large discrepancy? This isn't Coke vs Pepsi. Here's the conversation, in a nutshell: Person 1: I want you, me and anyone else in good standing to be able to carry and use a gun for self defense. It's the only way to reduce gun crime! Person 2: I DON'T want you, me or anyone else to be able to carry and use a gun for self defense. It's the only way to reduce gun crime! There's your two extremes. Put them in a room together if you want but you're not going to get a compromise. At least, not more of one than we've already gotten.

The dealers are trying to convince people who are thinking about buying their spouse or kid a car for Christmas, to choose their dealership. It has been going on for as long as car dealerships have existed. That's a big reason the trucks don't have discount stickers on them.

  503. The fact that this one was so sensationalized (as well as each one proceeding it) is the reason it has become so common. Suddenly, there was a way for angry teens with violent urges to become immortalized. Rather than quietly kill themselves, the Dylan Klebolds of the world now want to take a dozen kids with them. Rather than get into a drunken encounter with police and end up shot, the Eric Harris' of the world now want to take it out on everything that moves. They draw inspiration and even a sense of justification from the previous shooters. A while back, the news started reporting about the suicide problem in the US. The more they reported on it, the more the suicide rate increased. When they finally stopped running stories about suicide in every broadcast, the suicide rate started dropping back down. Anyone who profits off of stories like these are profiting off of the deaths of the future victims they help create.

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!"

People with little to no money move to those places to try to get a piece of the pie (and mostly don't do any better than they would have anywhere else). The rich keep getting richer and building more shiny things to attract their cheap labor force. The cheap labor force keeps showing up to be used and inevitably priced out of living in the very city they work in (that's those commuters you talked about). All because most people forget everything they learned in high school Econ the minute they hear they could be making twice as much money as they are now (in a place where it costs five times as much to survive). How exactly is that a defense for anything you've said, or even a rebuttal to anything I've said?

Out of the 330+ million people in the US, 600,000 have died. That must put it up near heart disease or diabetes in regards to lethality, right? So, if the majority of people started exercising frequently and eating right, they could avoid dying from any of the three, without having to get a highly experimental - and frankly, less than effective - vaccine? Sounds good! Thanks for the idea!

  516. We've got a ton of colleges for a reason. It's not because there are a bunch of people from out of state who have always dreamed of going to college in, say, Berea. There are plenty of locals keeping those schools open. No surprise about California, though.

  521.  @purepat4017  "CHOP" is the lie that some people inside are telling, since realizing that declaring it autonomous is akin to the Confederacy declaring themselves sovereign. CHAZ was the declaration of intent. Changing the name now doesn't change that declaration. Besides, CHOP (Capitol Hill Occupied Zone) is still off the mark. It should be something that reflects the region, intent, and effect behind it. It's in Seattle, there are no cars allowed and it's about stopping abuse of power from those in positions of authority, right? I suggest calling it the Seattle Pedestrian Antifa Zone. Viva la SPAZ! 😂

We clearly have very different views. You have every right to yours and I have no interest in changing them. Have a nice life.

  530. I think it's high time we heavily regulate automatic weapons. I propose a "National Firearms Act" banning the production and sale of any new automatic weapons for sale to civilians. Any existing automatics should be monitored by the ATF to ensure it's illegal to transfer these weapons to anyone who doesn't pass strict background checks. There should be plenty of paperwork, along with sizeable fees involved. This will have the added benefit of drastically increasing the cost of those grandfathered weapons, well into the $10,000+ range. It should also be illegal for anyone to modify the internal workings of a semi-automatic firearm to make it fully automatic. Who's with me?!

He decided to be a Fed and then decided to accept a position as an undercover agent, then accepted this assignment. Those were all his decisions. I'm in construction. I was on a crew once that liked to ignore safety protocols. The crew lead tried to get me to do some high rise work without a harness. I refused. He threatened my job. I quit. Guess what: I'm still working, just not with that crew. Also, I'm not dead. And unlike this guy, I've never endangered my family for a paycheck. Thank you for the laugh, though.

That's not the "gotcha" you think it is. You're admitting that California has more than enough money to deal with its problems but that money isn't making it to where it's supposed to go. That's called corruption. You're proving the point you're trying to argue against.

If that's the case, let me be the one to tell you that you're wrong. There! Now you can hopefully make some progress with your critical thinking skills. Have a nice day.

  545.  @jamesdana4333  Nevermind, I found it mentioned in Scientific American. Here's an interesting point from said article: “Trans people have brains that are different from males and females, a unique kind of brain,” Guillamon says. “It is simplistic to say that a female-to-male transgender person is a female trapped in a male body. It's not because they have a male brain but a transsexual brain.” Of course, behavior and experience shape brain anatomy, so it is impossible to say if these subtle differences are inborn. When the person who did the study disagrees with your assertion, I have to take their word for it. Trans people apparently don't have the same brains as those with whom they identify. They have unique brains that aren't quite one or the other. What any of that has to do with gender is beyond me - since it is constantly argued that gender is a social construct, not a physiological one.
    8
  546.  @bababooeyee  I wasn't interpreting (or misinterpreting) the study at all. I was quoting the researcher responsible for said study, along with the writer of the article. Meanwhile, I will again point out an inconsistency. You are busy trying to prove that gender is tied to the makeup of the brain. This runs completely counter to the current trending argument, that gender is a social construct. I appreciate your extensive knowledge on the subject of brain development but all you've really done is proven my point. The entire subject is riddled with inconsistencies. - Most say gender is a social construct. You and some others say it's tied to brain chemistry/development. - Most say that gender and sex are not linked. Meanwhile, they push to be able to change the sex (not gender) on their birth certificate and driver's license. - Most are pushing for "trans rights" while many are actively trying to criminalize the act of "mis-gendering" people (even though the Trans community can't seem to agree on a basis for what gender even is). Again, I honestly appreciate the time you've taken to point out a field of study in which I am less than well versed. I will be looking into it further, as it's quite fascinating stuff. However, it does nothing to disprove my point, that the whole discussion is full of inconsistencies. Also, be very careful with whom you share this information. Feminists have spent decades putting down the idea that there is such a thing as "male" and "female" brains. Such claims were used for a long time to promote the idea that women were not well equipped for many things, due to said differences. You might want to start future statements by pointing out some way in which this proves feminine superiority, lest you be labeled a misogynist. Of course, you can only mention feminine superiority over cis men. If you don't preface that claim with a disclaimer that it doesn't imply superiority over Trans brains, you're likely to be labeled a TERF and shamed for that stance, too. See, it's all very combative and tribal ...ahem..."team oriented" (disclaimer: I didn't mean to imply a connection with first nations people, African heritage, or popular tattoos of the 90's). You probably think I'm being outlandish but not really. These are the real conversations I've had with people. This is my lived experience, to borrow a phrase. The entire thing is a hotbed of inconsistencies, outright fallacies, and vicious attacks for disagreement (even though there is no solid position with which to agree). It's just a minefield. Anyway, I've taken enough of your time. Thanks again for the information and I will be looking into it further. Have a great life.

  547. "You used to be able to count on the courts." True. There are decades of court cases wherein judges knowingly backed unconstitutional laws.

  548. Yeah, we moved from SB to Lompoc before finally fleeing SoCal and heading North. We own a two story home now and take yearly vacations to Santa Barbara to see my wife's family, and shake our heads at the conditions people are willing to put up with in order to stay there. We did manage to talk her best friend into moving up here. Now she and her family live in a 3-bedroom apartment, instead of a single room in someone else's house. Her cousin is still down there and is living out of her car with her daughter and working at a gas station. Her justification is "Santa Barbara has everything!" My response is "And you can't afford to enjoy any of it!" Absolute lunacy.

  552. I don't have a dog in the fight but I will say, I find it interesting that some outlets are using this photo that was taken earlier in the morning and others are using another photo that was taken later, after significantly more people had entered. It also seems like the ones who use the earlier photo are the outlets who have more of an interest in discrediting Trump. The problem is, when you do things like that, you're actually giving him legitimacy by proving that there is a media bias against him from major sites. He doesn't need any help. Just use facts and Trump will discredit himself, more often than not.

  553. A) M855 is NOT classified as ARMOR PIERCING rounds. M995 is armor piercing. There was never a discussion about M995s. You people wanted to get rid of M855s, which is what the NRA and GOP were fighting. Your argument is a strawman. B) People who are on a watchlist ARE NOT PROVEN TERRORISTS. They are SUSPECTED of being LINKED to POSSIBLE terrorists. WE DO NOT TAKE AWAY THE RIGHTS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE. If you're so sure they're terrorists, why aren't you clamoring to have these people pulled off the streets? Why aren't you asking for them to be put in a detention facility until their innocence can be proven? IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE NOT A FASCIST COUNTRY. You don't want people to be allowed their Rights because they were put on a list? HA! IF THEY'RE CRIMINALS THEN CONVICT THEM! Otherwise, you can shove your fascism!

NEWS FLASH: There are already guns that look like pens (including ones that can actually write), cane handles and many other things - and have been for decades. The cops don't shoot people for pulling out pens, yet you think they're going to start randomly shooting people who pull out their phones? Utter stupidity. As for the argument about "being able to quickly stash a gun in your pocket" (with an obvious tone that you must be doing something nefarious), there are THOUSANDS of guns that fit easily into a pocket - including, of course, the pen guns. All arguments against this gun are invalid.

  557. Wait.... You guys are upset that "innocent until proven guilty" is finally being enforced for people defending themselves from attackers?! And you clearly have never dealt with the legal system or you'd know that your hypothetical scenarios are ridiculous. Judges are not radical talking heads on YouTube. They're capable of using logic and reasoning. Also, you seem to be forgetting that most self defense situations don't go to court. If it's a clear cut case, you don't get charged. The only time it goes to court is when the DA feels there is enough evidence to prosecute. If the DA has said evidence, it's not a problem. If not, you shouldn't have been charged in the first place (innocent until proven guilty). There's no statute of limitation on murder. They have plenty of time to build a case against you. I don't agree with the $200,000 payout because frankly, if I am ever put in the position of having to take a life to defend myself and THEN have to defend myself in court for it, I'm seeking compensation from the family who had a hand in creating the type of person who would attack me with lethal force. Maybe if people were held accountable for the monsters they create, parents would start doing their job! I'm about sick of the sympathy for people who knew damn well their kid wasn't right and didn't do a damn thing to help them. TO ALL THE PARENTS OUT THERE: If you suspect your kid has violent or criminal tendencies and you aren't actively doing something about it, their future life of crime is YOUR FAULT! I won't shed one single tear for you when someone has to put your kid down to save their life or the lives of others. YOU did this. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying to protect your feelings. If you want your kids to live long, happy lives, do something about it. People aren't laying down and taking it any more. Your kid WILL die in this world if you don't do something to prevent it.

This thing shouldn't retail for more than $900 (and that's being generous).

  560. It's worse. I've been evicted three times from places where I was always on time with my rent, never caused trouble and kept the place clean. Two wanted their homes back to sell and one wanted to move back into her house, to retire (was selling her larger home for the bigger payday). There's very little chance of being evicted from the home I now own. I pay my mortgage on time and there's no reason to think I'll ever have to deal with an imminent domain situation where I am. Renting was far worse than owning.

  569.  @rexx9496  Nope, you're wrong. The majority of people leaving California are the ones who can afford to leave California. Those who are barely making their rent can't afford to spend $3500-$5000 on a moving van and fuel for said van, plus another $20,000 or more on a down payment and closing costs for a new home. They're definitely not the ones offering tens of thousands of dollars over asking price. And, given that they're the ones who are most likely to be working normal jobs, they're not the ones buying rural homes at top dollar, that are more than an hour from the nearest metro area. When you sell a house in most of California, you have the kind of money to affect the housing prices in a neighborhood, pretty much anywhere else. When tens of thousands of you all sell your houses and move to Idaho, you gentrify Idaho. Zoning arguments are crap. Californians aren't moving to other States, looking for apartments to rent. They're overpaying for homes and paying cash on the barrel head. Thanks for playing, though.

They could have picked anyone other candidate and been better off. Instead, they went with a man who has been called "Crazy Uncle Joe" for at least a decade. A man whose official stance on women defending themselves with guns is for them to get rid of their AR15s for being "too powerful." That instead, they should get a double-barrel shotgun and fire both barrels randomly into the night, if they hear a noise outside their house (which is both illegal and unsafe). Talk about Trump all you want but don't presume that everyone who criticizes Biden is a Trump supporter. There are a whole lot of us who aren't.

Most EVs that have been sold in the US have been Teslas. Most Teslas have been $60k+. If you can afford a $60k+ secondary vehicle (relatively few people dove right in with one as their primary), you damn sure don't need my tax money going back in your pocket. Put my tax money toward improving and widening roads (which is what they're supposed to be doing with it, anyway). Smoother travel means better gas mileage for everyone. Better mileage means reduced emissions from everyone. But no, let's help buy another millionaire a $100,000 SUV instead, right?

"jongallardo" is right, though. You want to avoid the armpit of the US. So, stay away from NYC, LA, SF, Chicago...pretty much every major city.

Armed store owners and their kin, on rooftops and in front of stores, in the LA riots, are a perfect symbol of Americanism. We will not be bullied by groups of criminals. It's really that simple.

  593.  @scotchgod8478  So, now one State is representative of the entire US? I understand that California seems impressively large to those living in low population Countries like Canada, Australia, etc...but it's just one State. We have 50 States. Bringing up one State - the condition of which can be directly attributed to being a Democrat super-majority - is hardly proof of the US being like a third world Country. California chose its fate. It has the fifth largest GDP in the world and still has monumental issues. Being a rich State that chooses to spend that money poorly is ridiculous and avoidable. Most third world Countries can't turn things around by simply pulling their heads out of their asses. California can.

  594. ​ @TheBandit7613  Exactly. I "retired" into being a handyman and I'm working more than I did when I was doing remodel. It's crazy. There is almost no competition and I'm booked out for the foreseeable future. I don't even handle the big stuff, any more. Small tile jobs, light electrical and plumbing, some flooring here and there...and I'm out straight. I even have contracts with a few business to do their maintenance, because they can't find anyone to hire to do the job (and they are offering pretty good money for those positions, considering what little needs done). I almost feel bad getting paid my hourly to change lightbulbs and touch-up paint but they insist, because they want to make sure I keep showing up (which I've assured them I will, anyway).

We absolutely need to protect those who are most vulnerable. That doesn't mean we need to shut down the Country. It means we need to tailor things around reduced contact with and increased sanitation for those people. The rest of us might need a few days off work if we get sick, just like every Winter.

  599. Narc 1820 You're right. White people don't have a culture, we have many cultures. So does every other race. Cultures are based far more on region than race. This is why people from the mountainous regions of China have little in common with people from Beijing, for example. Throughout most of the world, different cultures change and grow naturally by interacting with neighboring cultures. Anyone who is actively speaking against this practice (which has made the human race what it is today) is in the wrong. There is nothing positive about limiting where people can get inspiration.

The tenth amendment says it's up to the States. You had better hope that the Justices in this case are a bias as they were during PP v Casey and Roe v Wade, or you're not going to like the outcome.

I must have 50-100 of them at any given time (I pick up a pack whenever I see a good deal). When we're out in the woods in the winter, we use them to line our coats. Just because something is pragmatic, doesn't mean it's cruel. A cartoon themed bed sheet would be softer and would look better in photos for people like you...but those kids would be freezing at night. No such problem with these blankets.

Oh wait, no you didn't. When my kids aren't at home and they need to be warm, they have no problem using space blankets. The kids in this story are A) Not at home and B) Need to be warm. If it's good enough for my kids, it's good enough for them. "It's not fuzzy" is not equivalent to inhumane treatment. You don't have an argument.

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?

It took about six months to get to the point of having to turn work away and I've been doing so ever since. I struggle to keep it down to 40 hours/week. I'm honestly working more now than I did doing remodel (but the work is typically easier). Nobody can do basic things for themselves any more and there's almost no competition in my field. It's the first time in my relatively long career that I've had people try to outbid other customers for my time, because they've had things that have needed doing for several years, and can't get anyone. It's crazy. We need more people in the trades. The money is there for the taking and I don't have enough hands to grab it all.

A large percentage will probably avoid getting vaccinated, though more due to their own opinions than his. A much smaller percentage will get COVID. An even smaller percentage might die. They key here is that virtually none of it will be because Joe Rogan talked about his use of Ivermectin. That's just not the way it works any more. People who listen to Rogan's podcast do so because he says things they agree with, not because he convinced them of anything. This is called confirmation bias and it's what makes the world go 'round these days. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I burst your bubble? Did you actually think you had a following because you changed minds? HA! No. You have a following because you're saying things that other people want to believe or already do. You're no different than Joe Rogan in that regard. As for that rant in the beginning about people lying, I'm not sure if it was funny or just sad. Do you truly not comprehend the difference between a guest on a podcast lying and a news organization doing so? Are you confused as to who the Fourth Estate is and what function they serve?

  653. It's actually harder to homeschool your kids in California than in most of the Country. In order to do so, you either have to have a teaching credential for each grade you're teaching or you have to apply for private school status for your home. The latter is done in October, so you have to apply ten months before the school year in which you want to start and it's only a two week window in which you can apply. Then, of course, you have to wait and hope that you're approved. Then, you have to reapply every year. It is done this way on purpose, to keep as many kids in public school as possible. They are funded based on the number of students enrolled. The California teachers' union is pretty powerful, so they tend to get what they want. The sad thing is, with all that power, California primary education is mostly in the toilet. Kentucky, for example, is one of the poorest States in the union and they often rank better in K-12 education and graduation rates than California, which is the richest, by far. On the plus side, there are more and more charter schools opening up with remote learning programs. My oldest is enrolled in one and it has allowed him to get on the fast track for early graduation. He starts his college courses next semester and should graduate high school by the end of next year (a year early). He was a solid D student in public school. Taking him away from the distractions and mediocre-at-best teachers (his current teachers are terrific) has him bringing in nothing but A and B grades, while getting through his work at record pace. My younger son will be starting there next year. He's already an Honors-level student. Unfortunately, his public school has no Honors or GATE programs, so he spends a lot of time doodling and waiting for his teachers to come up with more work for him. He loves school work, so the ability to really cut loose and work at his own pace should have him nearly catching his older brother. Anyway, yeah. California is definitely not about the children.

Even when a kid pulls an ear or tail, my dogs look at them apologetically, like they're sorry for whatever they did to make the kid do that. It wouldn't matter if my dogs ever got loose (they haven't yet but you never know,) they wouldn't be a threat to anyone who isn't threatening them. And before it becomes a topic, I have a 120 pound Rottweiler and a 135 pound German Shepherd x English Mastiff. It's not the breed, it's the upbringing that makes the dog.

You can clearly see throughout the video that he had an extended mag in it, sticking down past the guy's hand. Fun facts: 1. Hi Points are dirt cheap, so they're favorites of criminals. 2. The previous iteration of the gun shown was used in Columbine. It was designed specifically to conform to the restrictions put forth by the '94 Assault Weapons Ban...thus proving that such bans do nothing to effect gun crime.

  687. Those people tend to get warnings, written up, and - if it continues - lose their jobs a lot faster when their performance can be tracked in person. Then, they learn a lesson about earning a paycheck and - hopefully - do better on the next go 'round. So yes, it does matter. Very few people are actually capable of self-management to the point of keeping productivity up, regardless of the setting. Most of those people are also very motivated, so they tend to already be working for themselves. It's an even smaller percentage who are still working as employees.

Imagine if we applied that same logic across the board: Drunk driving should be legal because in Countries where it's banned, people still drive drunk and the drunk drivers often die. Or perhaps, Suicide should be legal because in Countries where it's banned, people still commit suicide and the suicidal people often die. Should we try the obvious one? Murder should be legal because in Countries where it's banned, people still commit murder and the murderers often die.

  693. Arisce, no. Children do not know who they are. They are children. They can't "know who they are" because who they are is changing every day. Yes, we change throughout our lives but nothing like we do as children. The personality changes we go through in our first twenty years of life are drastically greater than those we go through for the entire rest of our life, after that. The fact that people are making the decision to stop natural physical processes that help with that psychological development is extremely troubling. If you always knew who you were (as you claimed) that means you have never grown or developed as a person. You have always been that person you "knew" you were from the earliest memories of your conscious mind. So, are you saying you were born a fully developed person (unlikely), or that you are - mentally and emotionally - still the child you were when you made the decision that you know yourself? It would have to be one or the other. Parents do know more about what children are going through than children do. Parents have already gone through a lot of it (even if not every, specific part of it) and have made it through to the other side. By your claims, parents are wholly unnecessary because kids are already complete when they are born. They need no guidance from those who came before them. That's obviously false.

That is absolutely true. People act like sex is a transaction that's supposed to happen just because two people are together. There isn't even a consideration that it takes a long time to know someone well enough to truly trust them. Why? Because "sex feel good" and "no sex feel bad." The more we progress, the more we turn back into neanderthals, I swear.

You see, a right can't exist without the requisite power to defend said right. People who live in Countries where they are not allowed to defend themselves fully, don't actually have a right to live. We do, here in the US. That's a wonderful thing.

  712.  @degummybear  Wow, no. Math is facts. Science is the study of everything. Science is theory, experimentation, review, lather, rinse, repeat. Now, (actual) vaccines are very good. They stop you from catching certain diseases. I'm current on all of my required (actual) vaccinations. However, the dozen or so shots around the world for COVID-19 don't fit the definition of a vaccine because they (stay with me now) DON'T stop you from getting the disease. They are akin to the lamb skin condoms people used before latex became the popular choice. This is backed by loads of scientific research - something you claim to believe in. The very fact that the medical community (you know, the people who have way more knowledge than you about medicine and disease) is split on taking the vaccine should give you pause. Instead, you choose to write off those medical professionals who disagree with the side you've chosen. That tells me you don't have a scientific mind. Scientists see new data and adjust their theories accordingly. Zealots (like you) stubbornly refuse to accept any new information if it doesn't align with their (your) chosen position. Swallow your pride and accept the fact that even the scientists you deify (well, the good ones, anyway) admit that they aren't always right. The pursuit of knowledge requires humility and flexibility, not politics and cheerleading. The current facts (and you can ask any scientist or doctor to verify this) about the COVID-19 "vaccines" are as follows (simplified for you): - Are any of the COVID-19 "vaccines" as effective at stopping people from getting the target virus as the vaccines we've been taking for generations? No. - Will they alleviate some symptoms? Yes. - Will they stop the spread of COVID-19? No. - Are many of them made using a relatively new and mostly untested method (mRNA)? Yes. - Does anyone know what the long term side effects will be? No. There are the facts. You can verify them if you have a scientific mind, or you can deny them outright if you have the mind of a zealot. It's that simple. Your move.

I also like it when a doctor not only gives their opinion on what actions should be taken but also gives a good explanation as to why they feel that is the right course. I prefer more data and less spin. I'm weird like that. "Appeal to authority" is a logical fallacy. I don't believe anyone based solely on title. If you have facts, present them and I'll have a look. S/He who shows me the most complete and verifiable data set tends to hold my attention. Talking heads with MD next to their name, who give a summary of their interpretation of data and then make bold claims about what should be done? They tend to get shuffled to the bottom of my dance card.

I will say, I find it amusing how many people think Trump is the Devil because of this election. Apparently there are now a lot of people who have no idea what grandstanding and campaign promises are. I'm not saying he's the new hope or anything but he's not what most seem to think. Every Presidential candidate we've ever had has played it up for the Press so they can get those fringe voters. Trump took it to the level you'd expect from a reality TV star. Nothing more. Ever since he's won he's been calm, thoughtful and seemingly pretty reasonable (for a Republican, anyway).

  728. +Tom Sigsworth Exactly. That's the entire point of negotiating salary and discussing advancement opportunities before you accept a job. You have a certain amount of money you need to earn and the potential employer has a certain amount they're willing to pay. If you accept a wage that won't pay your bills, that's your fault not the employer's. Having a third party step in and force your boss to pay you more after you agreed to your wage, sounds like something out of a bad mafia movie.

  729. +Tommi Turunen I love responses like this. You ignore the fact that that a minimum wage hike of this magnitude doesn't just affect minimum wage employees but EVERYONE who is making less than $15/hour. You ignore the fact that this means every medium to small company is going to take a major hit from having to move ALL of their employees to that wage or higher. You ignore the fact that this is only a "barely livable wage" in a few States and that in the majority of the Country, $15/hour is WAY more than a living wage and MORE than is necessary for entry level employment. You ignore the fact that the big corporations who can absorb the cost, won't. That they will simply automate or hike prices. You ignore the fact that the top of the pyramid NEVER suffers from these things. So, you're white. Great. You're well off. Super. You're enrolled in college. Wonderful. Now graduate, live in the real world for a while and come back when you have something to offer that makes sense in THIS Country. Being yet another YouTuber who claims that American companies will just start doing things the way European companies do is ignorant at best. Hate? No. I don't hate you. I pity you. You honestly believe what you're saying even though it's just a regurgitation of whichever teacher happens to be your favorite this semester. It's just sad.

Nobody is going to cut profits because a bunch of entry-level workers feel entitled to more money than they agreed to work for. So, many people will lose their jobs, many small businesses will go under and massive corporations will use it as an excuse to up their prices further than they need to - thus causing EVERYONE to have to pay more and making your "cost of living increase" worthless. But please, feel free to tell us all about how, in your world, 2+2=22

  739. Dane Potmo It's quite telling that you think "fracturing" is the only way for the Republican Party to diminish in number. In case you hadn't noticed, the last eight years has created a lot of future Liberals and Progressives. The Republican Party is made up of mostly elderly people. As they die off and the next generation reaches voting age, the scales will tip. Well, unless the Democrat leaders keep driving people away by continuing the shit show they've been running lately. Also, if - after four years of having Trump at the helm - we don't have a significant increase in the number of Democrats in this Country, it will be a lot more telling of the quality of the Blue leadership than the Red. As for your claim that Republicans always vote for Republicans, I'd ask you; how did we end up with Trump, then? He was a (slightly) left-leaning Independent who decided to jump on the Republican ticket. He was running against a bunch of actual Republicans in the primaries. Unlike the Dems, Republicans don't allow third-party voters to vote in their primaries....yet Trump handily dispatched all of those Republicans to become their nominee. That doesn't sound like a very strong Party allegiance to me. Sounds more like the Republicans voted for the best sales pitch while we Dems merely towed the Party line (well, not all of us but still).

  762.  @findingmo7049  60% of the US is vaccinated. 80% of Omicron cases in the US are vaccinated. Omicron already accounts for more than 73% of cases in the US. So far, they won't tell us how many Omicron cases are people with boosters but I'm willing to bet it's high, if they're not shouting it from the rooftops. Now, the SA and UK data can help us a lot. The US is a melting pot with a wide range of different people, climates, and geography. Taking data from different regions can only help us know what we're in for. So far, Omicron is taking over in every Country it hits, cases are increasing and, on a long enough timeline (that isn't very long at all), hospitalizations, severe cases, and deaths are decreasing. Basically, we're all going to get Omicron, get it soon, survive it, and get that good immunity boost. This should push Delta out pretty quickly, since virtually all of us will be equipped to fight it off (not that it's a big threat to the general populous already, but free immunity is better than none). After this, we're likely to see COVID-19 turn into a seasonal cold within a year (though, I'd wager closer to six months). It will survive and even thrive by not killing us. We'll just take an extra day or two of sick leave every year.

Your analogy of making someone have parts of their own body removed is not at all analogous to expecting a woman who gets pregnant to acknowledge the natural result of sex and allow the person they created to live. But I'll ask you your opinion. When is it a child? Is it a child at 14 weeks? At 21? What about one week before its due date? What about an hour before? Is a child not a child until it has breached the birthing canal? Is it your position that a baby born two months early is a child and one that is aborted when it's full term is not? Your sweeping dismissal leaves a lot of room for thinking you might not have a solid position on this. Perhaps you should clarify.

  765. Julie Nielsen Actually, you do have to experience it to know what it's like. A rape victim can describe every detail of their attack to you and you still won't know what it's like to be raped. Likewise, you can be told in great detail what Hell is like and still not know what it's like. It doesn't matter how long ago you were saved or how devoted you are to your faith. You do have to experience Hell to know what it's like. Just as you have to experience God's love to know what it's like. That is exactly the point I was making when you intervened with your apathetic diatribe. Furthermore, trying to justify your apathy by claiming it's akin to God not forcing people to believe in him is a stretch, to say the least. You are not The Father and you have no say over what I do. Yours is not a position of letting your child make their own mistakes. Yours is a position of telling a brother to 'go to Hell, if you want to be stupid' (paraphrasing but not by much). Maybe just stop being so prideful, admit your error and move on. There's only one perfect being, right? Then it's okay that you did something wrong. It's expected.

  773. Facebook is the armpit of the Internet. If more people who complained about it would just stop using it, other networks would replace it. Why did everyone switch to Facebook? Because MySpace was a horrible mess and Facebook was clean and simple. Now think about how much worse Facebook is now, compared to how MySpace was then. Gaudy wallpapers and music players are nothing compared to massive privacy issues and extortion.

  774. ​@william breen Or, you know, soak your T-shirt in cold water once in awhile. Those who have ever actually done a hard day's work in the Summer know how to deal with it. Ice is a thing that exists. Cold water is a thing that exists. They both do a great job of keeping a person cool - even in the hottest, swampiest States in the South. People are talking like most folks are going to have major problems in these situations but if that were true, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc would all just be graveyards. Florida is where many of the elderly go to retire and in the Summer, it's so damned humid you feel like you're drinking the air. If they can handle it, I'm pretty sure most folks can.

  777. Kosal Yous It sounds like you think people shouldn't call out cruelty when they see it because other cruelty exists. That's a terrible argument. The existence of bull riding does not justify sewing snakes' mouths shut. You may think it's futile to speak out against wrong-doing in the world but that simply means you're ignoring all of the times when doing so has created change. If you see it, call it out. You may not make a difference but someone else might hear you who will.

  787.  @ReaderRabbitRy  Freedom of Assembly is a first amendment right. The first amendment starts "Congress shall make no law" and then makes no mention of any other governing body. The tenth amendments says that any powers not granted to the Federal government by the Constitution and not restricted from the States by it, belong to the States and the people. What all of this means is that the Federal government can not put restrictions on your freedom of assembly but the State and the people (by way of voting on propositions to do so) can. This is why many jurisdictions have permit processes and limitations on where you can assemble. It's perfectly constitutional to do so.

You can literally pull a computer out of your pocket, have any food you want delivered to your front step, communicate with the driver, and pay for it...while sitting on your toilet. In fact, you can yell "Hey Alexa" and then you don't even have to expend the energy of holding and swiping your phone. If you have an Alexa-enabled bidet, you don't even have to clean your own butt when you're done. What's more, that applies to pretty much any working-class or higher individual in the US. That is just one example. Decadence is SOOO much worse now than it used to be.

If that's the case then why do I have to sift through miles of anti-Jewish comments? It seems your own postings are proving you wrong.

  791.  @boosterh1113  Simple. Urban laws for urban areas, and rural laws for the rest. The Federal government should be reduced to its actual Constitutional authority. Federal laws should only pertain to Federal issues (which are all handily and specifically outlined within the US Constitution). State laws should only pertain to Statewide issues. Local laws should handle everything else. That combined with a big push for those in cities to mind their own business and stop trying to expand their laws into rural areas, is the only way to see any kind of balance between the two.

  792. It's a pretty sad statement, that your "go to" is that someone has to be unique to care about sexual assault and paedophilia.

So....you do something unconstitutional to try to get around it? Something that will be smacked down at best and start a war at worst. A war with the States that don't interfere with their citizens ability to be extremely well armed. Oh and also, the US military since, again, this is unconstitutional. So, a few gun hating Socialists vs...The greatest military in the world AND a militia so large that it dwarfs most Countries in the world. Yeah, okay. Admit it, this sounded better in your head, didn't it? I mean, before somebody really laid out how completely idiotic and suicidal it is. You were like "Say, that sounds like a swell idea! We'll get a bunch of States to stand together against the US, for the sake of suppressing the minority! We'll even claim it's about States' Rights! Nobody has ever tried THAT before!" Maybe some day there will be a controversial statue of you on the news, too! Won't that be great?

  820. So, to you freedom means more government regulations? That's a really weird definition of freedom. The fact is, freedom is dangerous by its very nature. Those who are afraid ask for less freedom under the guise of perceived safety. The safest place in the world is a padded cell, or a hospital bed in a chemical coma. That's all the regulation you could possibly ask for. You'll be very safe but I doubt anyone would call that freedom. To desire freedom is to accept the responsibilities and possible dangers that go with it. To desire that politicians take on those responsibilities for you is to desire subjugation, not freedom.

  822.  Big Dick Black  Cool story. Meanwhile rates, in this case, only serve to hide the obvious. So many people are moving out of California, as compared to moving in, that the largest moving truck rental in the Country can't keep up with demand. That's not a common thing. It's not like U-Haul has been running out of trucks in California for decades. It's not due to poor planning on their part. It's due to an influx of people leaving - that was large enough to more than offset those who were moving in.

California can afford to do better with their public school system, yet they're ranked 29th in the country. Meanwhile, Kentucky is 28th in GDP and is ranked 17th in public education. California would have to surpass 12 states to beat Kentucky in public school education. That's inexcusable.

  827. UBC refers to those States in which they require NICS checks even for private transactions. California, for example, is a UBC State. It's also the perfect example of how UBC doesn't work. There are so many under-the-table gun sales going on in California, it's hilarious. They haven't done anything to stifle illegal activity. In truth, they've increased it exponentially. Same with the ammo background checks. They created a huge "black market" for ammo, from people who either A) don't want to pay extra and wait for a background check every time they want to go plinking, or B) don't feel they should have to put their name on a DOJ list of "approved" people, just to shoot guns they've owned legally for decades.

Just like if I put some family heirlooms in a storage unit and pay my monthly bill, you don't have a right to cut my lock and take my stuff. It's really that simple. Land that isn't being used is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing. It's just sitting there being land. It doesn't matter if you personally think other use cases would be more beneficial. Just like it doesn't matter if you think my grandfather's antique desk should be in your house, rather than my storage unit. It's bad enough that we live under threat of imminent domain. You want that to extend to any @$$hole who thinks they deserve what someone else has.

All you've really done is made yourself look ignorant and destroyed any credibility you have.

  838. It would actually be relatively hard to find cartridges with vitamin E acetate in them. The few cases they looked into, were from Chinese knock-off cartridges, often in States where it is illegal to vape THC. In other words, they came from shady sources willing to deal on the black market. Also, the vast majority of vaping is nicotine based, not THC based, and there have been no reported cases of vitamin E acetate in nicotine cartridges, that I've found. So, yeah. If you're a pot smoker living in a State where it's illegal, stay away from vaping. If you're just trying to find an effective method to quit smoking cigarettes, there's little concern. The Royal College of Physicians, the American Cancer Society, and the Food and Drug Administration have all admitted that vaping is much, much safer than smoking.

  841. Car companies have been competing since the early 1900's. The prices haven't dropped. Coke and Pepsi have been duking it out for decades and a 20 oz costs almost $2 in any (competing) convenience store. In a true Capitalist society, competition would make prices drop. Corporate America got sick of that game, so they stopped abiding by the rules of true Capitalism. Shareholders, back room deals and unspoken "understandings" let them work together to screw us out of our money. They still compete with each other but not like they would if they had any respect for the consumer.

Now you're saying that Ivermectin DOES NOT help as a treatment for COVID. No ifs, ands, or buts. Okay, may I ask for your medical credentials? I'd like to compare them to those of the ACTUAL DOCTOR who prescribed Rogan Ivermectin as part of a treatment regimen when he had COVID. You're doing the same thing CNN did. You're ignoring the facts. Joe Rogan was prescribed Ivermectin by a doctor, as part of a treatment for his COVID. This particular treatment appears to have worked, given that Rogan tested negative for COVID about three days after he first tested positive. If you can't dispute these facts, you really have nothing valid to say on the subject.

So, you're advocating for books like the one talked about in this video to be similarly edited, to be appropriate for use in schools. That is why you brought up the Bible, right? It's not because you were attempting a cheap "gotcha" like your hero Joy Reid, and ended up playing yourself just like she did...right?

The people who first contracted it were exposed to several chemicals and the doctors merely stated that diacetyl was the most likely culprit.

That's why the South laughs whenever Californians try to claim some intellectual high ground. They know that having an expensive phone and paying too much for housing doesn't make you intelligent.

However, when comparing calibers and/or firearms, factory ammo offers a more consistent baseline. It also offers more relevant data for the majority - since most folks don't roll their own.

You don't think you've got it backwards at all? How about, instead of saying "Why aren't you attacking THEM?!" try asking "Why can't police in places like Chicago be more like police in Oregon?!" or saying "Hey cops! THIS is how you are supposed to treat citizens! Learn something!" No, instead everyone cries for what they really want to see: more bloodshed. Disgusting.

  887. Isn't it funny how a random person can talk about an incident that happened to someone and it's dismissed as an anecdote but if a self proclaimed "news source" talks about it, it's magically transformed into concrete evidence to support an agenda? Yes, bad things DO happen sometimes (OMG! I can't believe he said that! GASP!). Occasionally those bad things even support your agenda. What DOESN'T support your agenda is, well, your agenda. You claim that people are just being paranoid for wanting guns and that it's just unfounded fear mongering. Meanwhile, you claim that gun violence and specifically, mass shootings, are out of control. Which is it? Is the US a safe place where nobody needs to worry about defending themselves or is gun crime out of control and people need protection? Oh, that's right. It's that gun violence is high but nobody should try to defend themselves. After all, if you're killed by a criminal with a gun, TYT will celebrate you but if you take responsibility for your own survival, they'll crucify you. I think I'll stick with my current plan of staying alive and enjoying the fact that you hate me for it. I know it's hard for you to comprehend that a person is capable of surviving for more than a day around guns but the fact is, your anecdotal evidence does nothing to disprove the fact that more than a hundred million people in this Country have guns and are living full lives. Besides, if your off-the-wall claims are true, all the gun owners will be dead within the next year or so anyway, right? I mean, if they're really that dangerous then there's no other viable conclusion. What really scares you is knowing that it's NOT true and we're going to be here for a long, long time. You know I'm right. Somehow we manage to keep living on, adding to our collections and eventually, passing them on to our children. How can that be? I mean by all accounts, there shouldn't be any citizens left in this Country, what with all the guns randomly exploding and taking out entire city blocks....or whatever it is you think they do when people aren't looking. None of it really matters anyway. The fact is, of all the people who clamor for gun confiscation, I haven't seen a single one who is willing to step up and try taking the guns themselves. 330 million is a lot of guns. It's pretty naive to think that they could be taken against people's will, without a massive loss of life.

That is completely different from saying (or even implying) that they have active noise cancelling technology. B) Do car manufacturers have to list the ability to keep out rain and wind as a feature, or is that something that's obvious to any reasonable person? Have you ever thought to yourself, "Well, it's a really nice car but I better ask the salesperson for documentation showing that it seals out the elements"? Of course not. Such a thought would be ridiculous. Just as thinking that speakers placed directly in/on your ears are NOT expected to help drown out ambient noise and make their own sound the primary focus.

They'd have a heck of a time trying to pass a law that says you can't transport your gun across your property in your vehicle loaded with your ammo. Technically you don't even have to have a driver's license to drive on private property either. The laws are based on public safety, which is not a reasonable concern in the middle of a privately owned field.

That probably explains why county roads suck but I promise, you didn't pay for them, even if they do get used to transport your food to your local grocery store (you're welcome). My water comes from a well that I paid to have dug and goes to a septic tank that I paid to have installed, so you can stop patting yourself on the back for any waterways you think you funded. The schools get "so much" money from the State that they're constantly raising funds for even the essentials. Thanks...I guess. Everything else is private companies and neighbors helping neighbors, so...I'm sorry, what were you saying again?

  902.  @tonytheetiger3750  Well, the .223 is not a high caliber and at 55-70 grains, is not a heavy load. An AR15 has a pistol grip, so it's terrible for shooting from the hip and has to be held at chest or shoulder height for any effectiveness. Anyone who has ever fired a rifle or shotgun knows that a traditional stock is much easier to shoot from the hip. Pistol grips are for quickly aligning your sights while keeping your wrist at a more natural position. Anything made for killing with the least amount of focus and for war would have automatic and/or 3-round burst capability and an AR15 has neither of those things. I'm not sure what you're talking about with "gaming" as there are many semiautomatic rifles that are used for both competitive shooting and hunting (including the AR15). Neither of which is ever called "gaming," though. Are you talking about video games? That's the only thing I ever hear of being called gaming and I promise, nobody uses real rifles for such things. By your description, the weapons you're talking about are mostly WWII era weapons. Most modern sporting rifles don't align with your opinion of what an assault weapon is at all. Maybe stop listening to people who don't know anything about guns. Repeating their nonsense isn't helping anyone. I know for a fact there are Liberal/Democrat gun clubs out there who would help you gather factual information about these firearms. You would be surprised to know that most politicians and media figures have absolutely no idea what they're talking about on this subject.

They are still doing so. That means there are people who died from car accidents, gun shots, suicide, etc who got added to the tally, simply due to testing positive for Covid at some point during their time in the hospital.

Our right to keep and bear arms is predecated on the idea that we have a right to use lethal force to defend ourselves, our families, our property, and our Country. We will never have to fear a paper target uprising. Therefore, by defining a specific type of weapon as "assault weapons" (the only kind protected by the 2A) and then banning them, the politicians involved have broken their oaths at best and committed treason at worst.

Not only did that result in the death of quite a few pets but the lion itself was put down, due to extreme health issues, including injuries sustained from multiple encounters with vehicles. Most Americans are long-since separated from nature. California is a perfect example of this. Of the forty million people in California, relatively few of them have any idea how to behave in a world with predators. If they did, they wouldn't cheer for legislation that helps disarm them around the worst predators in the world: humans. Californians, for the most part, are not aware and do not take precautions. There's plenty of reason to worry. Then again, maybe that's good reason to reintroduce the State mascot back into California. I wonder how many of you would support legislation that would have grizzly bears roaming the streets and parks of LA? We could make them a protected species, too. After all, they were in California before people were. They deserve to wander wherever they want, and people should just understand and go on about their business, right?

  942. ​ @Whats-It-To-Ya  A Retic clutch can have anywhere from 20 to 100 eggs (usually about 40). Burns average about 35 eggs. Anacondaa average 30. They all lay at least one clutch per year. Even with other animals eating their eggs and their young, there are still way more surviving than dying. If there are 100 female Retics out there laying (there are way more, it's just an example) and half of their babies are surviving, that means there will be 2000 more retics in the wild the next year. Half of those are female and in three years, they'll be old enough to start breeding. 1000x20=20,000 and that's not including all the new clutches from the original 100, for that three years. You can kill on sight all you want but the ones that you're not seeing (which are the majority) are multiplying faster than rabbits.

The bottom line is that it will let a whole lot of parents - who are unhappy with California's lackluster schools - take their kids out of public school, which reduces funding. The teachers' unions won't have it, so they make sure whichever politicians they buy support them in making it harder for parents to do so.

  980. Entry level workers control a very large percentage of the market in California. The cost of nearly everything has gone up every year that they've bumped up the minimum wage, on their way to $15. People stopped paying attention to that when Covid lockdowns spiked it even higher but it was still there. Now, you can argue that the minimum wage increase didn't cause the inflation, and that it was companies using it as an excuse to raise prices. Well, that's fine but they still had the excuse, which means the wage increase did cause the inflation. In places like California, minimum wage will never be enough for long, no matter how high it gets. Cost of living has to go down in order for there to be a working class that can afford to live. That will never happen here, other than when there is disaster on a national scale. California real estate is worth gold. Realtors won't accept lower commissions, homeowners won't accept a market that doesn't increase dramatically every ten years, and those who have managed to carve out a piece for themselves don't want "the poors" moving into their neighborhoods. What's left is the overpriced rentals, that are such, partially due to (again) the high real estate values. I bought my house nine years ago for $125,000. Next year I'll be selling it for what looks to be about $260,000 - probably to some Southern Californian (I'm in NorCal) looking to find some way to afford to hold on to living in California. They'll likely bring their higher (but not high enough for SoCal) paying job with them via remote work and try to tell themselves that 110+ degree Summers aren't that bad because "It's a dry heat." Tell me how a minimum wage increase is ever going to help someone keep up with a market like that. From the time they declared the increase to the time they'll reach it (next year) the cost of living has jumped enough to more than cover the difference. Blame whatever you want but it doesn't matter to the gas station attendant whose $15/hr isn't making ends meet any better than $7.25/hr is doing for the gas station attendants in Tennessee.

  982.  @frederickloren-ey8uj  Teaching Kindergarten. Back then, teachers mostly started at lower grade levels and slowly moved up. This meant that teachers in higher grades had more real world experience in the field, and also put a larger age gap between them and students. It made sense. Now, with all of the teacher shortages, they'll take anyone with a teaching credential and have them teaching any grade. My son's high school music teacher is 23. She looks younger than a lot of her students. She wanted to teach elementary school but they already did away with the music program there. This was the only available position for teaching music, without her having to relocate.

  987.  @Dennis-nc3vw  That is not a version of what they were saying, at all. They called pedophilia a sexuality, which means they don't see it as a mental disorder but as a natural proclivity, akin to heterosexuality. Furthermore, many criminals are victims of something terrible. That's pretty much how criminality and depravity exists, is through paying it forward. You're basically rationalizing away all need for the criminal justice system. Personally, I think we need a new approach. Anyone who gives their life to protect children is a hero in my book. I think we need to promote that idea, heavily. Any pedo who makes the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of protecting the children they "love," should have their name added to a huge memorial. We should have a day of celebration, commemorating their sacrifice. They should be given the choice to be remembered as true heroes, rather than feeling like they have to live a long, shameful life in the shadows.

Every year they make a list of States ranked by the number of people entering/leaving, based on their rentals for the year. California ranked dead last and they couldn't even get an accurate count because they ran out of trucks and then couldn't keep enough of them coming back in to meet the needs of those leaving. If there are more people moving to California than leaving, there should be plenty of U-Haul trucks to go around, shouldn't there?

You'll hate it. If you don't believe me, just look at Zillow to see how many people moved inland during the pandemic, who are now trying to sell and move back. It's crazy how many listings are from people who bought in 2020-2022. Don't end up like them.

  1004. But I mean, seriously. If you're otherwise living your life legally and not walking down the street hitting a bong, how likely are you to actually get busted for weed? There are plenty of people who drink in their own homes in "dry" counties. They aren't worried about getting busted. Those who do the same with weed are rarely faced with citations for personal use. It's usually when people decide they need to smoke in public, or in their car at work that there's a problem. I would argue that if the use is truly recreational - be it alcohol or marijuana - you should be able to get through a work day without it.

If someone is attacking you while wearing one of these, you don't need to be able to kill them. You only need to incapacitate them enough to end the threat. shoot for the face mask and you're going to take out the eyes, break the nose/jaw, crack the skull, etc. They're pretty well done fighting and even if not, they're not seeing straight. You now have time to put rounds in the side/back of their head as they're trying to get their bearings.

However, it is much easier to point at homeschooling, charter schools, etc and say "Look at the bad things about them!" than it is to actually fix the broken system that is causing them to gain popularity. Regulation of homeschooling is definitely up there on my list but it's far below fixing the many problems with public schools.

It has been a law since the 90s that toy guns have to have an orange muzzle. Either they painted the guns to look more real or they bought them on the internet from an international shipper who doesn't care about US laws. How do I know? Because my son bought airsoft guns that weren't properly marked. The difference is, I took them, painted orange on them and told him if he repaints them black, I'll trash them and he'll be grounded for six months. He can be mad all he wants because being mad is a good indicator that you're not dead. Playing with toy guns that look real is a good way to find out which cops are fastest on the draw.

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...

I especially liked the part where one person was claiming their opinion mattered more than another person's because of their race. That was hilarious. I mean, I suppose it might be a plausible argument on some topics but when talking about the motives and methods of a dead celebrity who wouldn't have been reading this thread, even if he were still alive? Just comedy gold. Especially when considering who that celebrity was and what his feelings were about racial equality. So good. Thanks again for the entertaining thread.

  1060. You guys are aware that these videos stay on YouTube, right? I mean, once you upload a video about daylight savings time, it's here until you remove it. There's really no need for so many people to upload two videos about daylight savings time every year. We all get it. We know what the flaws are and we agree. You were passionate enough to make a video about it. We weren't. It stands to reason that you're the better candidate to actually do something about it. Maybe, in a few months, you could upload a video outlining what you intend to do about the problem instead. You could have links to a petition and for people to get ahold of their representatives... it could be great! But you'll probably just come back here and say the same things you say every time it comes up, to ensure that you still get to complain about it again, next year. I guess the name says it all. If you're always on "The Verge" of something, you never actually get there.

  1062. Also not sure why the need to point out racism in this video, except to add a little more fuel to the fire. If you want to be mad about racism involving who can and can't get away with open carrying, maybe it's time to talk to all of the unarmed people who insist on getting panicked about a black guy with a gun but only nervous about a white guy with a gun. Maybe it's time to talk to the cops about equality. You'll notice it's not the pro-gun crowd that shoots minorities for carrying, it's the police. You won't see white pro-gun people run out of a Chipotle dialing 911 if they see a minority group doing an open carry demonstration. In fact, they'd most likely walk up, shake their hand and have a nice conversation. If you want to talk about racism when it comes to gun rights, let's talk about the real cause instead of trying to brand every story about a person who carries a gun and happens to be white as some kind of racist movement. In case you hadn't noticed, we advocate for ALL sane, law abiding adults to have the right to own and carry guns.

They work really well at courthouses and airports, yet they aren't being implemented to protect our most precious resource. As for your comparison between locks and guns, I'm not sure how that is relevant to a discussion about carrying a firearm in a public place. I can't lock myself up while simultaneously walking around in public, can you? And yes, guns are made for putting holes in things. Nobody is disputing that. That's why it's called using deadly force. The fact that locks are passive is irrelevant. Just because something is passive doesn't mean it's a solution for a particular problem. Singing songs is passive too and that's not going to stop a mugger or a rapist either.

Unfortunately there are a lot of cowards in the world who like to make themselves feel better by claiming that everyone else would be just as cowardly in the same situation. I've got news for you; there are plenty of us who have fought back against people armed with guns, knives, bats, you name it. Your assumptions don't change that fact. It's one thing to be a coward. It's another to project your cowardice onto others. You don't know any better than he does whether he would stand and fight. Nobody does until they're faced with a real life or death decision. Who knows? Maybe you'd nut up and handle your business too. It's far less likely, considering your self professed desire to flee but it's still not something you can know about yourself until you're staring down an attacker. You can throw all the "what ifs" in the world around but this is one subject that you can't talk your way out of. You've either been there and know what you would do or you haven't but either way, nobody can foresee what another person would do. There is no formula for it. It has nothing to do with news outlets, religion, government officials or any other irrelevant thing you'd like to bring up to detract from the point of the conversation. It's just action and reaction.

  1078.  @diamondback3150  Notice how they don't seem to have a mental health epidemic in Wyoming, either. It's almost as though there's something to the entire lifestyle that keeps such things from being much of an issue. Most mentally unstable people weren't born that way. Living in certain environments with certain stimuli is what increases it. More laws are just a band-aid on a much bigger problem. I live in California, which has some of the most restrictions. I happen to be a law abiding citizen. However, if I wanted to buy a gun without one of the State mandated background checks, I know probably half a dozen people I could call to source one for me and I'd have that gun in less than ten days (the standard "cooling off" period). Not to get personal but the problem with "solutions" that come from people outside of certain lifestyles, is that they don't at all reflect the reality of those lifestyles. In California, it is now much easier to get a gun illegally than legally. I've had to wade through background checks and safety tests to get my firearms. I have at least three neighbors who I can say - with absolute certainty - did not. They laugh at me for doing it "by the book" but I have a wife, kids, and a dog and don't ever want to give the police a reason to kick in my door. Those with less to lose don't care what laws get passed in Sacramento, because they know it's not making their lives any harder. Mental health checks won't stop much of anything. Dealing with the appalling condition of our mental health services and pushing for lifestyles that don't promote mental instability is the right move. Otherwise, all you're doing is giving me more paperwork to fill out and making me revisit the question of whether it's worth the risk to just buy my next gun under the table.

It's almost as though turning people into criminals for doing nothing wrong is just making for more crime. Crazy.

  1080. Dogooddles Meegle And there is the problem with talking to new voters. Our election process is not a popular vote. The electoral college has always decided the election. They're not mutually exclusive. We are not a Democracy. We are a Republic and always have been. I'm sorry if someone lied to you about that. The rules of the Presidential election have been in place for over two hundred years. If you voted, you agreed to those rules. You don't get to sit down at a chess board, play, lose, and then whine because you "would have won if we were playing checkers!" Hillary lost, fair and square. Even if there were an argument to be made, it was over the minute she publicly conceded. If you don't want the same to happen in the future, petition your representatives to repeal the electoral college. If you don't, then you are accepting that this is the way elections work in this Country.

They are no more effective at penetrating body armor than, say, a .308 round. Shall we get rid of every hunting rifle round? Research, then comment. C) 99% of gun crime in the US is committed with handguns. Of the 1% that is committed with long guns, less than 1% are committed with semiautomatic rifles. There has not been a recorded crime committed with a fully automatic weapon in decades. Research, then comment. By your way of reasoning, we should have a HUGE legislation battle to ban the weapons and ammunition that are responsible for the LEAST amount of gun crime. That makes no sense. While we're at it, let's ban Lamborghinis. I mean, they're rarely involved in crimes but they look really dangerous, so... Research. Then comment.

  1094.  @aienbalosaienbalos4186  California Prop. 8 was the same-sex marriage proposition that was put on the ballot when Obama first ran for President. That year, record numbers of black voters went to the polls. Their contribution is what tipped the scales and kept Prop 8 from becoming law (at the time). I love talking about this because the irony is truly delicious. The Democrats thought that having a black candidate to bring out black voters would help them push through any "progressive" legislation they put on the ballot. As it turned out, the black community in 2008 was actually quite traditional, in general. Just another piece of proof that the Democrats only get the "black vote" because of the incentives they offer and not the politics they represent.

  1095. Luckie, thank you for pointing out this issue. Yes, kids whose parents did them wrong (like your mother when she didn't tell you you were a girl at a young age) often go looking for people to identify with. They're trying to fill a hole in their life, due to being so conflicted. You latched onto trans-identifying people, rather than being given the help you needed in understanding who you really were. That is definitely a big problem with the amplification of such a small group. It turns into recruitment, even if it isn't intended that way.

Since Kentucky (other than UK and EKU) isn't exactly a hotspot for out-of-state enrollment, it stands to reason that plenty of Kentuckians go on to college. California is no surprise, though. If you've ever walked around downtown in any major, coastal city, your ears will ring with all of the asinine conversations going on around you.

There was one recently, where a guy rented a vacation home through AirBnB and just never left. The city/police won't help the owner get rid of him. The squatter has since re-listed the house on AirBnB and is making money off of it, while he's living there. We went too far in the other direction when we started protecting tenants and occupants. Someone who is essentially trespassing on your land often has more rights than you do, as far as the courts are concerned.

The RCP officially endorses them as a smoking cessation device. The ACS is appalled at all of the groups and politicians spreading misinformation about the "dangers" of vaping. Whether you like it or not, there has been definitive research done by reputable medical groups. That research shows that vaping is 92-98% less harmful than smoking. It's just a fact.

  1110. Bushrod Rust Johnson You're talking about laws that were changed when the people agreed to allow sidewalks to be built next to roads for "public safety," when automobiles first hit the scene. Furthermore, we can discuss who "made" the majority of the roads but there's no argument as to who did the majority of the paving. Don't get me wrong, I agree with your principles but there isn't a legal leg to stand on in that debate. The people gave over that power to the government and it would take a serious majority to take it back. The Libertarian Party hasn't exactly been taking over, lately. So, I doubt we'll be seeing those changes any time in the near future.

  1151.  @xena6343  I love it when children respond to my comments. You can always tell they're children by the blatant naiveté in their statements. Like claiming that I should donate to people who do something so fundamentally wrong, in hopes that they'll magically see the error of their ways. Or that the only way these "simple farmers" could possibly manage to keep the snakes from eating their eggs is to drive needles and thread through their mouths, repeatedly. It couldn't be that there's a fundamental lack of concern for the welfare of the animals, right? No, that couldn't be. People never treat animals badly in a factory farm environment unless they absolutely have to... Please, stay in school and then go out and get some life experiences. Come back in ten years and tell me all about how you still give these people the benefit of the doubt.

In other words, their very use of the term "assault weapons" in their bills means they should be immediately disregarded for being unconstitutional. The only thing the 2A protects is our right to weapons for assault/counter-assault, not tools for hunting.

As someone who has been into small gadgets since long before netbooks, I can tell you that most people can get used to this size of keyboard, while anything smaller becomes a hunt-n-peck situation pretty quickly.

There is no valid argument against 3D printing guns. We've already been making guns ourselves for many, many years.

I also don't eat my own feces, so I'm sure that gives you even more reason to look down your nose. I'm so sorry for my lack of "enlightenment." Here's the really relevant part, though. This is a news update about a group of children stuck in a flooded cave, fighting for their lives. Your incredible arrogance made you watch this video and then jump directly into peddling your lifestyle with no thought as to whether it actually made any sense to do so (as can be seen by reading the responses to your comment). You're the type of disgusting person that the rest of us hold up as a negative stereotype of what Vegans are. You actually manage to set your movement back when you engage with another person publicly. The fact that you're so oblivious to it just makes it that much more fun to throw stones at you. Keep it coming. You're only hurting yourself. Meanwhile, every second you spend wasting keystrokes on me, is another second you're not out there screwing up someone else's view of what can be a healthy lifestyle choice (Veganism, not feces munching.

Until then, I don't really want to hear what solutions worked for tiny Countries with small populations of subservient citizens, who didn't own half the number of guns we do and were never told it was their inalienable right to have them. You people are adorable when you try to compare other Countries' subjects to US citizens. When you try to compare a few million people with over 300 million people. Hell, California alone has a higher population than Canada. Throw in Texas and we have about as many people in two States as there are in the UK. Do you really think you're solving big Country problems with small Country solutions? HA! Come back when you have something of value to add. "Just take the guns" only works in places with populations so insignificant that they have to form a continental union to have any real power.

  1180. So, I can take a booster to "protect" me from Omicron...or I can just get Omicron? 60% of people in the US are vaccinated. 80% of Omicron cases in the US are vaccinated. I have a hard time believing that more of the same vaccine is going to stop a variant that, by all accounts, the vaccine is actually creating susceptibility to. Meanwhile, if I get Omicron, I can look forward to a runny nose, a scratchy throat, a mild cough, some fatigue, and possibly some body aches. In other words, exactly how I spend all Winter feeling, due to working outside all day. Plus, I'll get some nice, natural immunity boost from it. I'm sorry, where is the up side to the booster? Oh, that's right. You need those quarterly earnings. That couldn't possibly be why you're pushing for people to get boosters every three months, could it? Nah, I'm sure that's a complete coincidence.

Hunting: If it takes more than 3 shots, you probably shouldn't be hunting. The 10mm offers faster follow-ups, in case you need them. The .44 Magnum offers you more power, so that you're less likely to need follow-up shots. At that point, it all comes down to preference (and the unending debate between revolvers and semi-autos... but let's not).

It did not have 4x4, therefore that cannot have been a defining characteristic. Oops.

  1189. Exactly. It's not as though Congress is unaware of this situation. If it behooved them to do so, they would expand the definition of an automatic weapon in a lawful manner. They have not.

  1194.  @ConvictedFelon2024  Interesting that you had to add the word "developed" to make your statement true. If there was a direct correlation - as you're implying - the US would have the highest rate of gun violence in the entire world, not just the developed world. After all, we don't just have the most guns, we have the most by a WIDE margin. The next ten Countries don't equal the number of civilian guns the US has. Current estimates have us at approximately 640 million civilian guns. That's roughly twice as many guns as there are US citizens. We should all be dead already, if there's a direct link between the number of guns and gun violence. Of course, there isn't a direct link, which is why people like you choose to jump back and forth between comparing global statistics to "developed world" statistics. It's the only way to make an argument.

You even going so far as to imply he was a Klan member, which he wasn't and isn't. It's like you want to be on the wrong side of history. That's okay.

The state is letting two parties pay the taxes and then granting ownership to the person who happens to sit on the land, rather than the person who paid for it. How about I start paying your mini storage bill (while you're paying it, as well) and rather than them telling you about it, they cut off your lock, give me a lock and key and declare that all your stuff is mine, now?

Seeing as how he was 18, the only thing he could buy legally is a long gun. Did you see him pull a rifle or shotgun? No. He pulled a handgun. He either got a hold of a parent's gun or he bought it/was given it illegally outside the home.

  1229.  @erikanders3343  Really? Just like all the others? I'm pretty sure I've never had to take a booster 3-6 months after getting vaccinated with anything else. I'm pretty sure they've never told me I might have to take a booster every fiscal quarter (a coincidence, I'm sure) for the foreseeable future. I'm pretty sure none of the vaccines I've taken are under a 50+ year veil, wherein I'm not allowed to know too much about them. And before you falsely claim it's the same as a yearly flu shot, it's not. Every year, they modify the flu shot to work against the dominant variant. All previous flu shots continue to work against the variants for which they were created. This "vaccine" is made for the wild type COVID, and they just keep pumping people full of the same recipe, hoping it might work a bit. It was not as effective against Delta and it's nowhere near as effective against Omicron. However, they keep pushing you to just take more of it. Don't ask too many questions about it, though. You're not allowed to know until long after you're on social security.

I'm saying, sometimes people do stupid shit and other people get hurt because of it. Where there's an overpass, some bored teenagers and nearby rubble to throw in the back of a truck, there's a formula for bad things to happen. It really doesn't have to be a vast government coverup every time. It's okay to believe that "they" aren't behind every bad thing that happens.

I said we should protect those who are most at risk. It mostly kills elderly people and those with compromised immune/respiratory systems. They should be getting the bulk of the any aid package, so they can afford the extra costs involved with self isolation. That money would go a lot further if it wasn't also being given to otherwise healthy people who are both willing to work and to follow safety protocols. C. As far as I know, nobody has been refused treatment for COVID-19 due to their insurance plan (or lack thereof). Why would that change?

  1253. Bas J. Do you think confidence comes naturally to most people? Guess again. Confidence comes from doing something that makes you uncomfortable and realizing that, no matter how it turned out, you're still okay. I think absolutely everyone should walk up to a person who they believe is so far out of their league, that person probably won't even talk to them. Get that one out of the way and say, "Hey, I'm still me. Nothing that person said or did changed that fact. I may be a little embarrassed but that's okay. Being embarrassed isn't the end of the world. I'm fine." Then, the next time there's much less pressure. Next time you're out walking around, look for that oh-so-typical couple, where there's an absolutely gorgeous girl and a guy who looks (and acts) like something you scraped off your shoe. That guy isn't smarter, funnier or more charming than most. He just had the nerve to walk up and say "Hi, I'm (insert typical douchebag name)" and start a conversation with her. He knew there was nothing to lose because he didn't have her, yet. There's no secret formula. Be nice and see if they want to be nice to you. If not, you dodged a bullet by finding out how they treat people. If, however, they do decide to be nice back to you, you may have just started something great.

  1258. If I'm paying my property taxes, I didn't abandon anything. If I wasn't paying said taxes, the government would have already taken the property. I bet you think it's okay to break into people's storage units and take their stuff, too, don't you? After all, they've just "abandoned" that property. Never mind that they are paying regularly to keep it. Never mind that if they really didn't want it, they would sell it or give it away. No, no, that doesn't matter. What matters is you found an excuse to take something that someone else paid for, that they don't happen to be guarding when you find it. You have a criminal mindset. You might want to look into that before it leads you down a bad path.

  1268. They already did. California has higher standards for chicken farms than most of the Country. It passed with relatively little pushback. They could easily petition for more standards and would likely get them, if that's what they were after. These people don't want better quality of life for livestock before they become food. They only care whether they become food (for humans). She stole two chickens and one of them died - likely from a heart attack, due to the stress of being stolen. It doesn't matter to them that one of the chickens died because it "died free* (meaning in the hands of different humans) and "won't be eaten" (meaning worms will eat it, instead of people).

The criminals break a window, steal the gun, go out and kill someone, then the media and those of a certain political group blame the person who abided by the sign. "How irresponsible to leave your gun in your car, where it can get stolen!" Okay, fine. Next time, we'll ignore the signs you folks put up in your store windows.

Hormone blockers are the first step - which, you're right, feels great when your body is trying to deal with balancing its changes (thank you for pointing out that the false assurances start even earlier than I stated). Then comes the hormone treatments, which do, in fact, cause euphoria. All in all, it usually takes 3-5 years after the full transition for a person to realize how badly they screwed themselves up - and that it didn't help their depression or dysphoria. That probably explains the insanely high suicide rate for post-op trans people. You can be wrong for the rest of your life and it won't change reality.

Meanwhile, if you drive further, don't have the ability to charge at home/forget to do so, or get hit with a Winter storm, you're not totally screwed. There are zero Wrangler 4xEs, Prius Primes, etc stuck at these charging stations right now. Their owners are out living their lives while these Tesla owners are sitting in the freezing cold.

Or maybe you think that Thanksgiving started because the pilgrims and the natives all wanted to hold hands and skip through the fields together. I mean, if it's taught in public schools it must be true, right? C. Lincoln would have a hell of a lot more in common with modern Conservatives than modern Liberals. In fact, he'd be "worse." Where do you think he'd stand on the welfare state? Gun control? National security? Single payer healthcare? Trans rights? Yeah, think about it.

  1300.  Bacons Strip  Who's justification? I'm a staunch Constitutionalist and I mean staunch. I believe that it's unconstitutional for the government to deny any free citizen their right to keep and bear arms. Yes, that includes ex-convicts. If you've paid your debt to society and are no longer a threat, you should have all of your rights restored. If you are still a threat and can't be trusted with the rights of a free citizen, you shouldn't be walking the streets. If such things were meant to be limited by government, that would have been expressed within the Constitution. It wasn't. In fact the tenth amendment clearly states who has power over what. No government body or official has the Constitutional authority to infringe on the people's right to keep and bear arms.

Unfortunately, those with your line of thinking in the military do their best to keep our soldiers from thinking they have a choice.

  1316. Owain Harris Wood is incredibly renewable. You rotate your groves to replenish the soil - it's called farming. We have more paper and lumber than ever before and the VAST majority of it comes from groves that exist specifically for that purpose. Furthermore, even if you were right (you're not), you'd still be comparing "somewhat renewable" to "not at all renewable." There's no contest. My house is made of wood and was built in 1903. Many brick homes in the area have seen significant degradation but my house (along with many other wood frame houses in the area) is still standing strong. The concrete foundation crumbled and had to be re-poured and the wood house is still standing. Wood IS the superior framing material for houses. There are few places where this rule does not apply. We've even seen a boom in the reuse of lumber from houses and barns to make everything from furniture to fences, to pretty much anything else that can be made from wood. How many reclaimed brick coffee tables have you seen? Wood wins. All day, every day.

  1346.  John Doe  Have you ever met someone who escaped Cuba or Soviet Russia? Believe me, you'll never find someone who appreciates our Constitutional Republic more than one who has suffered under a dictatorship. The Californians who want to pay less to live in the same circumstances move to Oregon, Washington, and Austin Texas. The ones who want to be free of oppression are moving to places like Tennessee. Those other Californians think the South is just a bunch of Klansmen. They would never try to move there. Don't blindly hate people who want nothing more than to support and expand your way of life. Believe me, we all need more allies in this culture war.

  1353. You think it's dumb to move out of a State because of politics? So, people who believe firmly it's their right to have an abortion should stay in a State where it's essentially illegal? People who believe firmly in their right to keep and bear arms should stay in a State that makes it virtually impossible to do so? The politics of a place are important. Thanks to so many people thinking it's okay to vote away the rights of their fellow citizens, it can be a very compelling reason to move. I thought you said you were a Libertarian. You certainly don't sound like one.

Dr. Campbell missed this important subtlety yesterday and today. There are zero confirmed deaths from Omicron.

  1358. That's because it's all she has. If she tells people that the vast majority of people who are catching Omicron are vaccinated, she'll have a harder time selling them on a booster. The fact is, at this point, getting vaccinated/boosted probably won't help. It takes two weeks after a shot for you to be at peak immunity (still not fully immune). With the way this variant is blowing through the population, a shot probably won't have time to do anything. Truth be told though, it doesn't look like it will do anything, anyway. 60% of the US is vaccinated. 80% of Omicron cases in the US are among the vaccinated. Quick math says that Omicron isn't just unaffected by the vaccine. It kinda looks like it's attracted to it.

I know that's hard for you to understand - what with being an idiot and all - but the rest of us have been speaking about a very specific topic. The funny part is that you seem to want to focus on me, even though there have been several people in this discussion. That only speaks to your inability to keep up with what has been a straightforward conversation. B) Randomly calling people racist when they haven't said or done anything racist only makes you look stupid. Though - as has already been mentioned - you're clearly an idiot, so it's probably a sensation you're used to. C) Of course my children aren't in that position. I would never risk putting them through something like that. I mean, not unless it was a far better fate than what they were facing. In which case, it would be a conscious decision on my part and I wouldn't put the blame for my actions on anyone else. That's called being an adult. Have a nice day.

A person who kills a bunch of people is a mass murderer. We have evidence of him being a mass murderer. A person who commits such an act due to a political motivation or to coerce a response from the general public is a terrorist. There is no evidence of that, yet. If they find evidence of such, his status will be moved from mass murderer to terrorist.

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.

  1386.  @bababooeyee  A) I'm not confusing anything. The current sociopolitical conversation is about whether gender is a social construct and whether a person can be a gender that does not align with their sex. You are talking about the makeup of people's brains, which has little to do with either and isn't being discussed by the intellectuals or the picket-swinging activists with any great regularity. B) What common, every day people - like Cindy from Starbucks - have to say on this topic carries a lot more weight - regarding the future of the movement - than any scientist studying brain makeup. Why? Because Cindy has a million followers on Twitter while your scientist doesn't have a hundred. Sadly, that means Cindy has more sway in how society views things. You want to dismiss the loud and mouthy as a background issue. However, every group does have them (as you said) and that's why they're leading every movement down the drain. We're not in the midst of the largest national divide since the Civil War because people are elevating rational, moderate voices. Cindy from Starbucks is leading the charge and Barry from Big O Tires is her main opposition. They both have more sway than either of us, or our various sources. All because the world loves to watch them fight. So please, don't try to tell me that the hundreds of people I've interacted with - who all have the same inconsistent arguments - are irrelevant. In several years of discussions, I've managed to stumble across maybe a dozen people like you. You're not leading the movement. Yours is not the majority opinion. You're an outlier. Get a few million people to repeat what you say and I'll change my opinion. Until then: the majority rules and the majority is spouting inconsistent nonsense that they learned from whichever "popular" people they follow.

He was merely interested in freeing them and entertained the idea of sending them back to Africa. Hundreds of thousands of people died because the President was sick of being nagged and wasn't willing to push for a diplomatic solution.

The HP recip saw destroys absolutely any brushed recip Ryobi has ever made and that's before you put a HP battery in it. The HP chainsaws are leagues better than the brushed. Same with the drills, circular saws, multi-tools...any others that I can think of. The brushed tools are largely just the Father's Day presents you buy for the guy who occasionally hangs a set of blinds in his house or builds a birdhouse with his son for Boy Scouts. The brushless are actually worth calling tools (for the most part). There is no value comparison between the two lines, as they're not remotely for the same people.

  1404. Penny Polendina Who is trying to undo death with more life? We don't breed more livestock to appease some higher being for the ones we killed. We breed more livestock to EAT them. It's not like when we plant a grove of trees to make up for deforestation. It's more akin to the groves we have that are specifically used and replanted for our products. As for comparing cannibalism to eating animal meat and forced breeding of humans to that of livestock, well, good luck with that argument. Livestock are not our equals. The value of any given life is decided by the ecosystem in which it exists. In human society, we price animal meat by the pound. If I decide to take a stroll through the North woods unarmed, it's the mountain lions and the grizzlies that get to decide what MY life's worth. The fact is that we figured out how to take ourselves out of their food chain and create our own. Are there things that should be changed about our system? Absolutely. Are false analogies comparing human women and children to cows and pigs going to do anything to help with that? Not in the slightest.

He's been following this stuff pretty closely, so I'm certain he knows who we're dealing with and what they require for a peaceful resolution.

That is, after all, what it would take to end this "peacefully."

  1407. +ensayofr Lots of Muslims already carry guns (did that fact scare you?). There's no religious background check to buy a firearm or to get a carry permit (in the places that require one). You see, the FIRST amendment secures your Right to choose whatever religion you want and the SECOND amendment secures your Right to own and carry guns (keep and bear arms). Also, why the hell are you talking about having guns at every protest? Who said anything about making it mandatory to carry a gun at a protest? What is it about YouTubers and extremism? Everything is black and white with you. And yes, I am technically a genius, but that hardly helps your argument any. Thanks for noticing and highlighting that fact, though. Stay in school, work hard and someday you may understand that oversimplification and sweeping generalization are never the correct responses to any problem.

In the case of Feminists, the most public representation is the extremists and nobody is coming out to denounce them. An example of this is the current Republican Presidential candidate. Right now he represents the Republicans in the race. Anyone who sees coverage of him sees the "face of the Republicans." The main difference is that unlike with Feminism, there are plenty of Republicans who publicly denounce Trump for not representing the Party accurately. If "Feminists" don't want "man haters" to represent them, they should say or do something about it. As it stands though, it seems like the majority of Feminists don't have a problem with it.

  1412. Killing is amoral, not immoral. Intent and circumstances dictate the morality of the act. If you walk down the street and kill the guy walking towards you because you wanted to watch him die, that's murder and it's immoral. If you killed the same guy because he rushed you with a knife, that's self defense and is both moral and legal.

  1421. El Jefe One doesn't need to forget their roots to integrate in the US. Again, there are hundreds of millions of people here from all walks of life. Nobody stops the Mexican community from celebrating Cinco de Mayo. No one tells the Jewish community they have to give up Hannukah. That's not what integration is about at all. Integration is about accepting and living by the laws and rules put out by your newly chosen society. We drive on the right hand side of the road. We treat dogs as pets and cows as food. We treat men and women as equals. These are some examples of things people coming from another Country may find unusual but HAVE to accept in order to be accepted here. THAT is integration. As for the other guy's claims, well, I disagree. Anyone who has ever lived in New York knows that multiculturalism is easily accomplished as long as all cultures respect each others' boundaries. The problem is coming from those who are trying to push it in a very unnatural way (i.e. trying to make the host culture conform too much and the entering cultures conform too little). This creates huge issues. We have had lots of cultures in this Country for a long time and it works fine.

This is completely unnatural and will lead to our destruction. Every evil genius needs someone to stand on their neck once in a while and tell them "NO." Otherwise, they'll simply continue to destroy society and then leave to live out their days in their own, private paradises. Just because we can automate everything, that doesn't mean we should. If it takes a threat of violence to turn the tide, so be it. If it takes actual violence, then that's what needs to happen. These people are doing interviews where they smile for the camera and admit that they're fully aware of what they are doing to us and have no intention of stopping. What if Hitler had been arrested before he started the Holocaust? What if Stalin had been overthrown before the great famines? What if the tech heads were put in check before they brought about complete societal collapse? I really don't think "Welfare checks for all" is the answer.

  1440. +Jimmy Kraktov I'm not disputing that at all - I love a numbers matching resto as much as anyone and the old bugs are incredibly reliable when done right. My point is if you're going to heavily modify a VW (and I won't judge anyone for choosing mod over resto - different strokes for different folks), there are MUCH cooler and cheaper ways of doing it. The problem I'm seeing is that more and more hipsters are turning money hungry. They want to be "alternative" but they want to do it in a very mainstream, capitalist way. Now, I don't have a problem with capitalism but I do have a problem with people who claim to be shouting down Babylon while practicing the same price gouging, consumer screwing techniques as those they hate.

  1447. Amelia Bee You have every right to fall off a cliff, too but that's an overreaction as well, I'd say. Anyone who "hates and fears" guns is irrational. That's all there is to it.

  1448. +Karthik Arunkumar A) The shooter used handguns, not a "fucking MACHINE GUN." B) The rifle that was found later (not on the shooter) was a semiautomatic rifle, not a "fucking MACHINE GUN." C) Automatic weapons are hard to find and prohibitively expensive (we're talking $20,000+). This is why none of the mass shootings - from Columbine to UCC - have involved a "fucking MACHINE GUN."

  1449. +Raava You're given two options when someone has a gun to your head: A) Fight B) Accept your fate Fighting gives you a chance. Accepting your fate doesn't. That's really all there is to the discussion. It doesn't matter how many people will back you up or how easily a crowd gets panicked. Each person makes their own choice but nobody has ever survived a bullet because they closed their eyes a little tighter before the shooter pulled the trigger.
    2
  1450. +grant kohler Agreed. Stay safe.
    2
  1451. +Raava Wow, nice strawmen. You should really get yourself a cornfield. Where did you say "every man for himself"? How about every time you admitted and eluded that you would run away at the very first opportunity and never once mentioned worrying about anyone else's safety? Hell, you even said that if a shooter was busy killing other people you'd take advantage of their slaughter to run away while the gunman is distracted. You also said that you would only fight back if you absolutely had to. You have been preaching "every man for himself" from the beginning. I'm the one without communication skills? Ha! You don't even understand your own statements! And yes, frankly, I do feel that the victims should have fought back. That's called an opinion. We're all allowed to have them. TO BE CLEAR: That is not an implication that it's their fault they were shot. It is the gunman's fault they were shot. That doesn't mean their way of dealing with the situation was any good. For the record, if you try to claim victim blaming at this point I'll have verification that you're just spouting pre-canned responses. It's a weak argument at best and it's used by those who can only think in black and white. If a drunk driver hits someone in a crosswalk and it turns out that the victim just stood in the middle of the road, fully aware it was coming, while the car approached and mowed them down, it's not "victim blaming" to ask why the pedestrian didn't try to move out of the way. Furthermore, why do you keep bringing up things like "right wing" and Fox news? Are you so far left that anyone who believes in a basic code of morality looks "right wing" to you? And at no point did I say that everyone who doesn't agree with me is a coward. I said that you, specifically, are a coward. I didn't even use it in a derogatory manner. You said exactly what you would do in one of these situations and it just so happens that you are the actual, dictionary definition of a coward. I didn't write Webster's Dictionary. If you don't like that you fit the definition of a coward, you can take it up with Webster.... or grow a spine. It's not up to me or anyone else to redefine the English language to preserve your feelings. How can you claim to be for higher education and then get upset when people use the correct words when describing a person? I didn't call you a moron because you're not a moron. I didn't call you a jerk because you're not a jerk. I called you a coward... because you are a coward. As I told you before, that's fine. You're allowed to be a coward. I'm not trying to take away your Right to run and hide while others die. What I have a problem with is that you keep implying that those who are not cowards ("you people," as you so eloquently put it) are somehow backward and need to be scrubbed from society. I have to assume it's a defense mechanism, whereas you were angry about being told you're a coward, you felt the need to take an opposing position and stand firm - regardless of the validity of said position. This is called a knee-jerk reaction. It's an emotional response, not an intellectual one. If you weren't being so emotional you'd realize that it's those with a desire to do the right thing who keep you safe. Without them, society would fall. So you can try to claim that we're going to be gone in the next 30 years but you had better hope not. Without us there's just criminals and victims. I have to assume you'd be the latter.

  1452. +Raava Wow. That was the longest "Nuh uh" I've ever seen. If you think my laying out my position clearly and refusing to let you claim to speak for everyone are red herrings then there's no helping you. You don't have an argument to counter. I called you a coward and told you that you can't possibly know what others will feel or do. You have since continued to try and claim that everyone else would feel and do what you would. Proving that you were doing exactly what I accused you of - but on a larger scale - isn't an argument. I don't know why I'm trying to explain this to you. Nevermind. If you think everyone in the world thinks and acts like you then you just go right ahead and keep thinking so. I don't rightly care. This conversation is so old at this point it's not even funny. In fact, here: You're not a coward. There, is that better? Did that fix your little feelings? Can you finally sleep at night now? It's the only possible reason you're still talking to me at this point. So, you're a brave little soldier and running away while others die is the right thing to do. Also, you're a powerful telepath and are capable of knowing the hearts and minds of everyone else. Okay? Are we done yet? Are you vindicated, or whatever? I friggin' hope so. At this point it's like being leg humped by a chihuahua.

Then when I call others on their crap, I get white knights telling me all about how I need to be more understanding of other people's plight. It's bullshit. I'm done. It's really simple for me from here on out. If I yell "Death to (insert here)" it means I want them dead. Likewise, anyone who says "Death to America" is calling for the death of myself, my wife and my children. I'm done catering to others who want to spend their days spewing vitriol in my direction while I get told it's not their fault. Own your words and say what you mean.

  1457. The outrage here is hilarious. The same people who want to deny people their Constitutional Rights are pissed about a dress code. I know, I know, "It's freedom of expression!" To which I say: That Right is outdated. They never could have imagined what kinds of clothes people would have access to or what they would do with them. You should only be able to exercise that Right under strict guidelines and supervision. People who express themselves in public tend to make other people nervous. Sound familiar? Try it this way: That Right is outdated. They never could have imagined what kinds of guns people would have access to or what they would do with them. You should only be able to exercise that Right under strict guidelines and supervision. People who carry guns in public tend to make other people nervous. It's not funny when people start screwing with the Rights YOU care about, is it? Maybe it's time for everyone to start focusing on the issue of overreaching government rather than thinking you can ask them to overreach on some things and they won't do so on everything else.

  1458. So...the idea is to prove all of the misogynists right by ensuring that the first woman (elected) to be POTUS does a terrible job? Didn't really think this one through, I think. It might actually be a better idea to put Trump in office, so that feminists at least have someone to point at and say, "See?! Patriarchy! Systemic sexism!" I mean, isn't it better to be able to point to the bad choices of a male President than to try to defend the bad choices of a female President? Maybe we should try again in four years. We'll put our heads together and come up with someone who belongs in the history books next to people like Susan B. Anthony and Rosa Parks. I don't see how this one deserves the honor.

It doesn't matter that it's more efficient than a car in the city because EVERY bicycle is more efficient than a car in the city and there are millions of perfectly functional bikes that cost far less than this gimmicky pile. Electric assisted bicycles are a fad right now, so everyone who comes out with one jacks the price up to milk the new market. A $350 bike with $500 worth of components added to it is worth $850. It's that simple. But please, keep arguing. It's amusing to watch.

It's not like we've decided to ignore the framework of our election process and do it this way instead. This is the way it works in the US. It's one of the many reasons why I laugh when people call this a democracy. It isn't. It's a Constitutional republic with some democratic features. You might want it to be different but that's not to say that it should necessarily be different. But if you have a good case for changing it, I'd be happy to read it.

You do realize that that's insane, right? In fact, the MAJOR caveat they had to make because of using a battery that fits in the top tube is that the electric assist isn't nearly as powerful as those found on some $1000 bikes. You've essentially said that it's worth three times as much money because it's prettier and less functional than other bikes in its category. I have to assume at this point that you're a long time Apple customer.

  1467. Because after all, most people in their teens and twenties are known for their ability to make rational decisions based on the long-term effects of said decision. Just curious but which age group is the one with the highest occurrences of unwanted pregnancies and single parents? How about the age range when most alcohol and substance abuse starts? And how old are people, typically, when they enter a life of crime? It's almost as if we're still figuring things out when we're young and we make a lot of bad judgement calls in the process. I'm not sure if that's the demographic to look to for answers to questions like "Who should be the most powerful person in the Country?" We are talking about the age group that came up with the alcohol colonic (no, really), after all.

  1469. +Artaneius Really? Personally, I don't see how equality can exist without morality. It's people's morality that leads them to consider the strife of others and do something about it. Immoral people do not concern themselves with the problems of the world unless said problems adversely affect them as individuals. They worry only about that which brings them personal gain and pleasure. I suppose a world without morality would be somewhat equal. I mean, at that point EVERYONE would treat each other badly...but I don't think that's the kind of equality we want.

  1470. +TiggerLiveToo People need to make up their minds. Either we live in a dangerous society full of gun violence or we don't. "There will never be a defensive situation" means that all of the gun control talk lately is purely based on media hype and we don't have a problem with gun violence in this Country. If that's the case then we don't need expanded gun control. The other option is that there IS a gun violence problem and we DO need gun control but that would also mean that people are perfectly justified in feeling that they may need to defend themselves at some point. You can't have it both ways. Do we have a lot of dangerous criminals getting and using guns or is expanding gun control measures pointless?

  1471. Maou Unless his uncle is wearing a T-shirt that says "I'm carrying thousands of dollars" or doing something else equally telling, he's no more of a target than anyone else. Someone wearing a nice watch or an expensive suit is a much more obvious target than some guy with a backpack. Regardless, you're letting the point go right over your head. He said his uncle carries the gun to protect the money, because otherwise he won't be able to pay his employees. He's protecting the money. Human life is more important than money. You can't justify protecting money with a gun but not human life.

  1473. Sarah Bearheart Many first world citizens fail to see how truly nuts it is to have a population drowning in cars and motorcycles because owning and driving them is so culturally normal for them. For people who live in cultures where this is not normal it appears utterly insane and funnily enough, people in those cultures are not hankering to have these vehicle ownership "privileges." And before you counter with typical rhetoric: - There are more guns than cars in the US - Cars are much more heavily restricted than guns - Cars aren't even designed to hurt people And yet cars still manage to kill and injure far more people than guns in the US every year (and intent means nothing to the dead or their families). Not to mention all of the pollution. See the thing is, cars are socially acceptable. Even though the majority of people could rely on mass transit, we like cars so we defend them. We accept the body count attached to them because the majority say cars are a good thing. Anyone looking at the death toll in the US from an unbiased standpoint would say that getting the majority of cars off the streets is far more important than getting the guns. That's never going to happen though, is it?
    2
  1474. Sarah Bearheart You're right. Guns don't exist for the same reasons as cars. That, however, is completely irrelevant. I like how you turn it around at the end though with a vague "cars can be cleaner for health and environment." Cleaner than what? Cleaner than guns? Cleaner than cars currently are? How exactly does that stop the endless deaths that are caused by bad drivers? And no, the people who are against the massive amounts of cars on the roads aren't against technology. Far from it. It's not like there are growing numbers of Quakers speaking out on the Internet about this subject. Maybe try educating yourself before casting judgement on an entire segment of the population.

  1475. You don't actually know why the NRA opposed the smart gun, do you? Tell the truth, you like using current buzzwords to sound cool but don't actually read more than 140 characters about these topics, right?
    2
  1476. +Aditya Kar The "smart gun" technology that was being proposed was A) unproven B) built directly into the firearm and C) was already being "required" by New Jersey once the first one sold, even though it was unproven and built into the firearm. This meant that a State was trying to set a legal precedent requiring all handguns (those things people buy for self defense) being sold after a certain point (that being the point at which the first "smart gun" was sold in New Jersey) to have an unproven locking system that could potentially keep the owner of the firearm from being able to use it effectively. Once a State sets a legal precedent, other States often follow with the ability to say "well, they did it so we can too" (that's what legal precedent is). The NRA, it's members (aka US citizens), the vast majority of gun owners in New Jersey and yes, firearms manufacturers, all rallied against this because it had the potential to A) put a lot of unreliable firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens B) greatly reduce the variety of handguns available and C) make even entry level handguns prohibitively expensive. Now, the reason your comment is so outlandish is because there are already biometric gun safes and lock boxes on the market and the NRA doesn't have a problem with any of them. All this is, is a biometric trigger lock and so far, nobody is trying to mandate that everyone has to use an unproven, biometric trigger lock on their guns. You see, it's called choice. The NRA doesn't oppose new options, they oppose new legislation. It's really that simple.

To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, try looking up videos of Burning Man. Yeah, not exactly a "government sanctioned" lifestyle. If you think we're somehow oppressed here, I think you need to reexamine how you define that word. The only "government sanctions" are called laws. Our laws don't stop us from defending our lives with necessary force. In the UK you'd go to prison if you shot someone for trying to kill you. That's freedom? If you don't have the Right to defend your life then you don't actually have a Right to live. Everything else is just gravy.... but we do have a LOT of gravy here, too.

  1493. Great video. I really like that "tactical" vest. I might have to get one for my smaller dog (75 pounds), since the MOLLE pouches look to be better suited for small, light items. Our big boy (125 pounds so far) is already outfitted with a decent enough pack (for now) and won't be getting a new one until he's done growing. One tip for anyone considering dog packs. A good rule of thumb is that a healthy dog can only carry up to 15% of its own weight safely when traveling more than a mile or two. That's 7.5 pounds for a 50 pound dog, 15 pounds for a 100 pound dog, etc. If you want your dog to be able to haul more than that, it's recommended that you have them pull a cart or sled instead.
    2
  1494. Also (and I can't believe I didn't mention this first), ALWAYS balance your dog's pack as best as you can. Uneven weight distribution hurts their joints just as much as ours (if not more so). If you want them to carry water, consider using two 16 ounce bottles (one on each side) instead of one 32 ounce (for example). If you have to, throw an extra towel or something in the lighter side to balance the pack. It's actually better for them to carry a little extra balanced weight than a lesser amount of unbalanced weight.

  1495. +cian madigan Makes me wonder about some people's definition of the word "free." I prefer the definition that describes my ability to choose for myself what I want to pay for. For example: "I am FREE to buy health insurance if I want it," as opposed to "I am forced to have FREE healthcare through a mandatory increase in my taxes." I have to pay for it either way but one of them allows me to prioritize my own needs - almost as though I'm an adult, or something.

It's not the court system - which is the ONLY system that is supposed to be able to deny an individual's Rights. If the FBI is so sure these people are threats, why are they walking the streets? Why are they able to shop in all the same stores you and I do and have access to all of the same bomb making chemicals that we have access to? People claim that gun owners are scared, yet we're not the ones trying to strip the freedoms of innocent people "just in case." And yes, we are still innocent until proven guilty

  1504. They kept the rear door shape of the JL so that there would be tons of door options available for the Gladiator from day one. Any aftermarket JL doors will fit on the Gladiator. It's a huge bonus when you don't have to wait for the aftermarket to catch up to a new vehicle design. I know someone who actually started buying his aftermarket parts before he could even buy a Gladiator, because so much was already available (due to it essentially being a JL from the doors, forward).

  1505.  @ibchuckd  "All the guys!" Yes, there have been sooo many cases of that happening each year, right? Oh, it's not that many? And you'll be in the same situation when your Tesla dies under trees, or in Winter? Oh, that's right! You won't get nearly as much sun in the Winter, so you'll be out there for at least two days and you're not going to get nearly as far on a charge when you have to drive through thick snow. More than enough time to freeze to death, too. You really haven't thought this out, have you? That's okay. Most people who are looking at the Cybertruck haven't even driven in dirt, let alone a hard trail. It's just not in your wheelhouse, so you have no prior knowledge to pull from. Meanwhile, you don't have to worry about me if I get stuck without a way out (anything's possible, I suppose). I grew up hunting, hiking, camping, and wheeling these woods. I can survive out here as long as I need to. If I see you scraping Ice off your solar panels, I'll be sure to drop you off some rabbit. It's delicious, if you know how to cook it...and are capable of building a fire. Can you build a fire without charcoal and lighter fluid? Maybe I'll go ahead and cook it for you, just in case. See you on the trails!

  1507.  @anibalhyrulesantihero7021  California has a $200,000,000,000 (that's two hundred billion dollars) surplus that their governor loves to brag about. Meanwhile, kids in Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, etc, are getting a better education on average. No excuses.

  1508.  @lilshaz8378  It's not "huh" at all. California doesn't care about the middle, working, or lower class people in the State, so public schools suck. Their private schools are great because they don't have to make due with the scraps the State provides. The colleges are top notch because the State funnels all kinds of money into them, to attract the next generation of rich/well off people into the State. California has the 5th-6th (depending on the year) highest GDP in the world...with a population about the same as Canada. The _only reason for any of this State's failings are incompetence or apathy in government. With a $200,000,000,000 surplus, they could afford to do a lot better in several areas. They don't. They're happy maintaining the status quo.

I mean, really look at it, rather than just taking other people's word for what's in the photo. It's sad when people are so trusting of the media that they even believe lies when the truth is right in front of their face. There are salutes, yes but there are also kids clearly waving. Others with fists up (not a NAZI thing, that I know of). Several with their arms down. I can't really tell if the seemingly Asian kid who is laughing has his arm up...but he definitely doesn't seem to be afraid of all these "NAZIs." Use your eyes.

  1512. No, they won't. They will continue to do so, so that they can get sued and appeal it all the way up to the Supreme Court. That way, SCOTUS can put down this "sue the manufacturer" nonsense once and for all, before Biden decides to enact it Federally. You can't sue Ford for someone mowing down a parade full of people with a Ford Escape and you can't sue Smith & Wesson for someone using a M&P15 to shoot up a school. Why? Because neither was designed for that purpose. They were used in a manner other than directed. This is a slam dunk of a case. I'm so glad Newsom lost his temper and did something stupid. This one is going to be a nice win for the 2A community.

Isn't that what Europeans want most for the US?

  1516. I see several hands straight up with fingers spread (waving), a peace sign, a couple of fists, an "okay" 👌, some with no visible arm raised or gesture, and the rest angled out like NAZI salutes. And let's face it, that's about the right ratio of teenagers who make incredibly inappropriate jokes on the Internet. Of course they went with the narrative that this was a picture of an entire group of boys doing the NAZI salute and one who didn't. After all, anyone who was there and didn't immediately start "punching the NAZIs" is just a fellow NAZI, too. Facts should never get in the way of a good narrative. Even when those facts are quite literally, right in front of your face.

Interstates are a perfect example of Federal tax money being wasted.

  1519.  111xelent  Thanks. I just hate what the media and politicians have made people think about these firearms. I don't expect everyone to be knowledgeable about firearms but I do expect those who are tasked with writing laws and informing the public to at least have a basic understanding of them. When I see people reciting these common fallacies, I have to say something. AR15s chambered in .223 (5.56 NATO) aren't even legal to hunt larger game with in some States, because they can't reliably take them down in one shot. They're fine for feral pigs, coyotes, and other such animals but no humane hunter carries a .223 rifle for true large game. The 5.56 NATO round was chosen for its light weight (soldiers can carry more of them than the 7.62x51 that was used previously). It was well known that it wasn't nearly as effective as the 7.62 for killing but the military decided that it was worthwhile to increase available rounds. The logic was that it was sufficient to wound some of the enemy soldiers, because that would still take them out of the fight. Since war is about winning and not genocide, the decision to switch to the comparatively anemic 5.56 NATO was made. Most people don't know that, though. They think "That looks like a Rambo machine gun and Rambo kills hundreds of people all by himself in those movies! That's way too dangerous!" Meanwhile, their grandfather's 30-06 hunting rifle was punching fist-sized holes out of the far side of elk at 500 yards. It's amazing how far from the truth we've gotten.

  1520.  111xelent  I feel ya. Are you enjoying the new ammo background checks? I swear, Gruesome Newsom is the worst thing that ever happened to this State. On the plus side, I've revamped my reloading bench and have talked several other people into loading their own ammo. If nothing else, their ridiculous laws continue to make us more resourceful. If anything, I'll spend even more on ammo now, out of spite... and they still won't get a single dollar from me for their redundant background checks. I actually had someone try to tell me that it would stop felons from getting ammo. If background checks don't stop felons from getting guns, how are they going to stop them from getting ammo?! Ha! Just ridiculous.

No shock as to being in the middle of something so traumatic. No sputtering like someone who is enraged. Just a very clear, concise message, spoken with a political tone. I would keep an eye on this one. He comes across as someone who is capable of similar acts, in the name of furthering the cause.

  1528.  @elephantoflight3362  Omicron is non-lethal. Its most prevalent side effects are runny nose, mild cough, scratchy throat, fatigue, and headache. Nobody is dying from it and virtually nobody is getting severely ill from it. Those are the facts. You don't have to agree. After all, I can't force you to be right.

  1529.  @rd-lw4td  Ha! Omicron is the equivalent to a cold. Runny nose, sore throat, mild cough, headache...it's kept at bay by Robitussin. Please, tell me the current death rate, or even severe case rate from Omicron. Go ahead. It should be a quick Google search away. I mean, they've been talking about how scary it is, so you know there are plenty of outlets giving the death and severe case rates, right? Unless, of course, it's not actually that bad at all. In which case, all you'll find are COVID numbers in general, and nothing specifying any numbers for Omicron, other than cases. And don't bother with the one case the media jumped on in the UK. All of the news outlets were saying that person died from Omicron when, in fact, they died with Omicron. As soon as that was pointed out to them, they stopped talking about that case. However, even if they had died of Omicron, that would be one case in, what, hundreds of thousands at this point? Millions? Not exactly the "fucks you up" variant you seem to think it is.

  1532.  @drnickatnyte2688  I'd take it a step further. Every American who comes of age has the constitutional right to own and carry (keep and bear) firearms. So be it. Then every American should be required to take firearm safety training in high school, in order to graduate. Rights come with responsibilities. Since we all have the right, we should want everyone to know how to exercise that right, responsibly. High school is the perfect place because it is already Federally regulated and required, and it's the last stop before we turn 18 and are legally able to exercise those rights. Personally, I think high schools should have an entire class dedicated to teaching about all of our Constitutional rights, and the responsibilities inherent with them. Entire generations of responsible, well informed citizens sound pretty good to me.

  1546.  @1018Tim  I don't agree with making anything take longer. A right delayed is a right denied. If you want better training, so be it. Mandatory firearm safety classes in every high school in America. Owning and carrying guns are rights that belong to everyone. Therefore, everyone should understand those rights before they come of age, regardless of whether they choose to exercise them.

"Your honor, he didn't use the weapon he had and then he ran away at the first show of force. Clearly, he should hang." is not a statement any prosecutor would make.

It almost seems like they intended to get into it (since it's highly unlikely that someone bumped into someone else and they both just happened to be the ones who snuck guns into the club). How exactly would stricter gun laws stop people - who want to have a shootout at a nightclub - from doing so? It didn't help Chicago. They made it illegal to carry, so everyone just carried illegally. Paper may beat rock but it doesn't stop crime.

It's something that has to be done through parenting. Next time you're at a school function, take a good, long look at the other parents and ask yourself if you really think the majotity of them are instilling good values in their children. Chances are fair that you'll be looking at at least one parent of a future mass shooter in that crowd. We used to have machine guns and very few mass shootings. Now we have proposed bans on semi-autos and unending mass shootings. I think I'd lime to go back to the times of more freedom and less carnage, thanks.

We no longer need you." God let out a chuckle and said, "Really? Show me, then." The Scientist was indignant about being laughed at and reached down to pick up some soil. He was going to prove himself God's equal and shut him up. As his hand touched the ground, God said, "I don't think so! You go get your own dirt!"

Everyone who is completely asymptomatic or who just has the sniffles but tests positive will be out of work for two weeks. On the plus side, getting the real infection rate numbers in will give us a much better picture of the virus. Chances are pretty good that it's even less severe than even South Africa is claiming.

  1575. TL;DR: - It's harder to do things the legal way, so it's justifiable that people are doing things illegally. - Some people who come here illegally are just doing it so they can send American money to other Countries, even faster than it's already going. - Middle class white people won't do manual labor, so that means no Americans will. - The system isn't perfect, so it's okay that people circumvent our laws while we're trying to sort it out. - Also, refugees exist and even though refugees and immigrants are two different discussions, we'll lump them together for sympathy points. By the way; as an employer in California, if I report undocumented immigrants, I will be charged with a crime. This doesn't mean that I will hire them but I'm damn sure not risking a major fine or jail time in order to comply with Federal law, either. Since California has arguably the highest number of undocumented immigrants, the State is ensuring that Federal law is not enforced for a very large percentage of undocumented immigrants.

  1577. A) Everything the government involves themselves in ends up costing taxpayers WAY more than it should. B) Our current street signs and lights are VERY simple to understand. My ten-year-old could likely pass the written exam. If a driverless car isn't capable of knowing the difference between a big, red octagon with the word STOP and a big, yellow triangle with the word YIELD, I definitely don't trust it to know the difference between a speed bump and a person. Or are we all supposed to start wearing clothes with big QR codes on them, to let the machines know to spare us? No. They can be either be adapted to the world as it is, or they can be scrapped as a pipe dream until such time as they're viable. We have no pressing need to expedite the inclusion of driverless cars. Especially considering that - if the government was going to do anything about the mortality rates - it would be sooo much easier and more affordable to just make it harder to get a driver's license and add a zero tolerance law for drunk driving (as in, get caught once and lose your license forever, nationally). They haven't and they won't. Why? Because they make a lot of money off of vehicle sales tax and registration. Those get reduced with less drivers and all but disappear in your driverless Utopia.

  1585. So, the defense against the poop in San Francisco "myth" is...that it's actually true, it's a big problem, but you feel that it's happening in every, single town in the US, too. No, no it's not. We have homeless in my city. They're not dropping trou on sidewalks, stairs, streets, etc. Most tend to use wooded areas and restrooms at the various parks (where they often live). They still have a modicum of self respect and won't just cop a squat wherever they're standing. Even those without any self respect don't really want to be arrested for public indecency. See, the police in some cities actually do their jobs, unlike in SF.

  1587.  @vercoda9997  We don't "know" the mortality rate of any variant because we don't test every case to see which variant it is. Now do we know of all the cases that were asymptomatic/low symptom. We base the mortality rate on the numbers we have at a given point in time. Currently, the Omicron variant has a 100% survival rate, based on the tens of thousands of cases we know about (the numbers we have at this given point). I don't understand the mentality of people like you.

There's no way I can afford a new, electric pickup and none of the affordable EVs will carry my tools. Walking to work is obviously not an option, either. Of course, I know their third option is for me to quit my job and collect government assistance - rather than earn an honest living - so they really don't have any reasonable answers for me.

Why do simpletons feel so compelled to speak about things of which they know nothing? I mean, yeah, we get it. You don't like guns. That's fine. Just say that. Say that you don't think guns should exist because bad things happen sometimes. I'm sure that's the root of your argument, so just go with it.

  1602. That nonsense they're getting into halfway through the video is just that: nonsense. They're saying Omicron is 80% less likely to hospitalize you and 70% less likely to bring severe disease in those who do get hospitalized. THEN, to cover their butts with those in charge, they try to claim that's because of a high rate of natural immunity in SA. I call bullsh*t. If the high rate of natural immunity were the cause, it would also have been causing their Delta hospitalization numbers to wane. It didn't. It wasn't until Omicron took over in SA that the numbers of hospitalized, severely ill, and dying dropped. Omicron is far less severe, period. No need for caveats or addendums.

  1615.  @obcl8569  My kids are both honor students on the fast track to early graduation. They've picked their primary and backup colleges. They know what career paths they want and generally what it will take to get there. They're 14 and 16. They both have small social circles with good kids. They have real friends, instead of "followers" and know what it means to actually be someone's friend. My "poor kids" are happier and better adjusted than most people I've ever met. But I guess I should throw all of that away so they can have unfettered access to the Internet, right? No thanks. I think I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Yes, I do use a social media platform while telling my kids they can't. I also watch R rated movies and have the occasional glass of my favorite bourbon. See there are differences between adults and children. Parents are supposed to restrict children's access to certain things, until such time as they are mature enough to responsibly handle those things. Or do you think it's hypocritical that I don't let my kids smoke, drink, and carry guns around town? Am I being rude to you? Sure. If that's such a big deal to you, you should probably get off social media, yourself. There's a whole lot worse than mere rudeness on here, which is yet another reason why my kids aren't on social media. They don't need that kind of vitriol in their lives, yet. You do you. I'll keep failing my "poor" kids in the manner I have been. If the worst thing they have to complain about when they're adults is that I wouldn't let them have Tik Tok, I'll just have to find a way to live with that. 😏

  1616.  @obcl8569  You claim I made a threat and that I spewed vitriol at you. Okay, we'll go with that delusion. If you think that's bad, your parents are the ones who should have been concerned with making sure their kid was ready for the real world. As for the rest, it's pretty much just you making strawman arguments, due to lack of ability to contradict what I've said. That's fine. I'm used to people like you. You say a lot and yet nothing at all, thinking filler will help hide the lack of substance in your comments. It doesn't. Anyway, I'm glad you're done arguing, since you didn't have anything of substance to respond with in the first place. I just hope you're not also the type who insists on having the last word as a substitute for an actual win. However, if so, feel free. I'm done here, as well. Have a nice life.

  1618. "Trans kids are valid and it's not a decision that they're making." Roughly one in two thousand kids is a "valid trans kid." It has become trendy to use being trans as the latest rebellion for kids. In the early 2000s, it was being gay/lesbian/bisexual. Suddenly there were a ton of kids who claimed to be one of the aforementioned. The vast majority did not continue on in that way. The big difference is that those kids didn't have a slew of "supporters" who were trying to convince them to halt their development and prepare for surgery, to make substantial alterations to their bodies. You harm fewer people by putting a minimum age on physical transition than you do by allowing it to start early. It's really that simple.

They're living (the ones who survive) through a period that was created by parents who sat their kids in front of screens and never bothered to find out what was going into their heads. The result has been disgusting on all fronts. The next generation will hopefully learn from this mistake and actually raise their children, instead of merely feeding them and giving them shiny things.

  1638.  @lizhoward9754  It's more about county regulations than State. For instance, in one county I lived in in California, many tiny homes wouldn't be allowed. Not because of the trendy, glorified, sheds themselves, but because of property issues in the seat of the county. They had originally allowed people to divvy off sub-sized lots that had in-law quarters on them - so they could be sold separately. That turned into a problem, so the whole county now requires new residences to be no less than 625 square feet. Since the average tiny home is something like 250 square feet, most are disqualified for use as residential housing anywhere in the county. It would blow your mind how many old regulations are on the books in different counties - specifically written to deal with inconceivable problems. That's why it's so important to do your due dilligence. P.S. If you ever find yourself in Kentucky, don't walk down the street with an ice cream cone in your back pocket. That's illegal.

Sorry kid but you chose to engage someone on an open forum. Out here in the real world, if you swing first, you're not the victim. A person with empathy does not abuse animals, just as a person with empathy does not abuse children. Making excuses for such behavior is reprehensible. If a given culture accepts such disgusting practices then the culture is wrong, along with those who perpetuate it. "They don't know any better" isn't a good excuse for slavery, pedophilia, animal abuse, or any of the other atrocities people commit. It's really that simple. These people do not care that they are stabbing animals in the face to help them achieve financial success. They are no better than the people who stab bulls before a bullfight, or the ones who throw "bait dogs" to their pitbulls to train them to kill. As for my comment's weight on the situation, I have no illusions that the people in this video will read it, nor that they would change their behavior if they did. The video's comment section exists so that people can (wait for it) post their comments about the video. Nothing more. I did exactly that: I relayed my opinion after seeing the video. You're the one who applied false motives to my statement. You know what happens when you assume, right?

Unless there's a special form someone has to fill out to become a BLM protester, you have absolutely no authority to claim anyone is NOT a BLM protester. If I stand in the middle of the street right now and start chanting "Black Lives Matter!," I have every right to call myself a BLM protester. If I then start attacking people, you don't get to claim I'm not. That's the thing people don't seem to understand. If you have a giant, headless, disorganized group, you have no say over who represents you. Anyone who watched Occupy Wall Street's fall from existence should know better than to start a group in the same manner.

Those should be mandatory and not be able to power down until the vehicle is returned to the station's vehicle pool. We have 2TB micro SD cards now, along with inexpensive 10TB hard drives, so storage is a ridiculous reason not to record continuously. It's not like these are 4K cameras.

At best, they should have a "bathroom" button that they can hit right before they enter a restroom to pause recording. If they hit it right before interacting with a detainee, it should be an automatic termination for misconduct.

  1663.  @chrisbeer5685   Issue 1: Ask any Democrat about gun control and the second amendment. They will tell you that a form not being available as soon as a law passes and having to meet with an authority figure they deem necessary, are not infringements on your rights. California has pulled the same and worse, yet those laws are considered perfectly valid by the majority. That pertains to an enumerated constitutional right. The general consensus seems to be that a right delayed is not a right denied. Mind you, that's not my position, it's the position of the Democrats (and apparenlty now, the Republicans). Take it up with them if you have a problem with that reasoning but the courts seem to back it. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure you're telling me that before this law, a person didn't even need to see a doctor before starting to medically transition. That's pretty scary. I have to wait for the doctor if I need to be prescribed a painkiller. Why should it be easier to get on hormone blockers than to get prescription strength ibuprofen? Issue 2: So, they're not preventing children from socially transitioning, just advising against it. Okay, and? States don't ban people from having unprotected sex but they advise against it. People want to do something and the government says they shouldn't. Welcome to the club! If this is the first time you've ever run into an issue where the government advised against you doing something you wanted to do, you've either lived a very blessed or a very short life. This new idea that any pushback from government, whatsoever, is some kind of tyranny, is asinine. We live in a two party system. Absolutely everyone gets pushback from the government throughout their lives. It's never going to change, either. Bottom line: No States are preventing adults from transitioning and no States are preventing kids from socially transitioning. Your receipts prove that you are overblowing the situation to make it seem more dire than it is.

I get to jump through hoop after hoop, having to prove time and time again that I am an upstanding citizen. Meanwhile, the only people these laws don't bother are those who don't want to own guns and, of course, criminals. See, neither you nor the guy who might shoot you one day is all that inconvenienced by these laws. - He's going to steal or buy a stolen gun. - You're going to continue to think the police will get there in time. - He's going to show up, rob you, and shoot you. - You're going to die. - He's going to run away. - The police are going to show up eventually and write up a report. - They'll run the serial number (if your killer leaves the gun behind, which he probably won't) and come up with the name of some guy who had his gun stolen five years prior. - Your case will go unsolved. - Your family will go public, demanding politicians enact more useless laws. - Your killer will laugh at the next anti-gun press conference ABC airs, while loading yet another stolen gun. - I'm going to be standing in line, waiting for a psych evaluation, a physical, and an IQ test to prove, yet again, that I should be allowed to buy a gun (even though I already have guns and have never harmed anyone). Thanks but I don't think I'll be subscribing to your brand of "logic" any time soon.

  1670. I think it's about time we stop banning adult products and bring back a time honored tradition: Shaming. Good parents need to shame bad parents, publicly. When the government has an argument for stepping in, there's a problem. The government should never have to step in on raising children. We cut people way too much slack, nowadays. "Oh, Karen's raising Tommy all by herself, so we can't be too hard on her about his behavior." I call BS. Millions of people are raising their kids by themselves. It's the new normal. Furthermore, when your kid is negatively affecting a bunch of other kids, you should be getting called out by other parents. You're not just screwing up your own kid, you're sending it down the line to other kids, too. No excuses. No passes. Just good, old fashioned shame.

  1671. The solar cover won't work with the tent in place. Oops. Still doesn't make sense to get this over a traditional 4x4.
    2
  1672.  @spencereyes235  Because it doesn't matter how many gas cans you bring, when this thing runs out of juice in the woods, you're screwed. It's that simple. Even the solar cover will only net about 5-10 miles (on road) worth of electricity per day. So, you get to spend all day (hopefully) sitting in a sunny spot, so you can maybe make it out of the woods...if you camp close to roads. However, we're talking about comparing it to real 4x4s, not AWD crossovers with 6" of ground clearance. In which case, we're talking about doing long, difficult trails to get to your destination. Again, when a normal 4x4 runs low on gas, you grab a gas can and add fuel. Worst case scenario, you can borrow some from someone else on the trail. Nobody carries a spare Tesla charger or a 50 mile extension cord in their gear. I suppose you could carry a generator and fuel and enjoy your 8-12 hour "charge break" wherever your truck dies. Personally, I'd rather just pour that fuel in my tank and hit the trail. I'm weird like that.

  1676.  @1flash3571  Cool story. Why don't you offer to double what you pay to the IRS then? Did you know you can do that? You can offer up as much money as you want to the government. I'm sure they'll do exactly what you want them to do with it... People like you don't put your money where your mouth is, though. No, your type pays their bare minimum and then scoffs at someone like me for having the audacity to take a tax break on money I've donated to local charities. And for the record, your reading comprehension really sucks. At no pint did I say I have a problem with EVs or cleaner, better air. In fact, I suggested a practical way for the government to use that tax money to help with that very situation. I did say that I shouldn't have to subsidize the purchase of high dollar cars by people who can already afford them. If you have a problem with my not wanting to buy toys for rich people, well, I don't rightly care. You can be wrong all your life and it won't cost me one second of sleep. Have fun with that whole "being irrational" thing. You're well on your way to being a bona fide extremist!

  1682.  @bly2790  I've seen the PE classes and the cafeteria menu. They don't care about healthy students. Furthermore, all you have to do is go back a year to see what the teachers' unions were yelling about. Teacher health and teacher safety, teacher pay. They allowed kids to go from six feet social distancing to three feet, so that the teachers wouldn't have to split their classes and work a little harder...but they made sure all of those students were masked and sitting more than six feet from the teachers' desks. If they cared about the health of students, they wouldn't be packing them in at half the distance the CDC recommended. They don't care about the students. They want kids vaccinated to protect themselves from the kids who they now have sitting too close and spreading the disease. Why? SO they don't have to split their classes and work a little harder.

    2
  1686.  @starshipdriver8536  That's adorable but clearly, you've A) never driven off-road and B) never seen how drastically the range of EVs is reduced while towing (which is much closer to the mileage you get off-roading). Also, I hope you're bringing quite a few panels if you're hoping to charge up to 40 miles worth per day. Pack them well, so the glass doesn't break on the trail. Those of us who actually wheel never pack anything glass, if we can help it. Far too fragile for real trails.
    2
  1687.  @starshipdriver8536  We'll see about the body panels and glass once they've actually passed testing for street use. Until then, they're a fantasy. The solar panels might handle some hail but hail isn't a normal trail condition. Being slammed around in the bed or up against a tree is a normal trail condition. Who is trying to talk about hail? As for range, that's where the ability to carry gas cans gives ICE vehicles the advantage. No waiting for your panels to eventually give you more range. Pour it in and go. Air bags that give you 16" of ground clearance are a cute gimmick but at that extension, they don't give you even as much flex as a cheap, aftermarket lift kit (oops). And you'd better hope those skid plates are indestructible. Come down hard on a rock with an ICE and you might break a pan or a driveshaft. Come down hard on a rock in an EV and you could start a 1000° battery fire that can't be put out with an extinguisher and potentially burn down thousands of acres of forest (again, oops). Go ahead and get your Tesla. Just try to roll it off the trail when it dies. The rest of us need to get by.
    2
  1688.  @starshipdriver8536  You really don't know how any of this works, do you? The reason street legal vehicles are as fragile as they are is because it's required by law. Either Tesla's truck isn't as tough as they claim or they're going to have to make it far less tough to be legal for use on the highway. Either way, you're not getting an indestructible Tesla. It's that simple. The rest is mostly just you talking crap about a Ford, which really doesn't bother me. I'm just here to burst your bubble about the Cybertruck. I couldn't care less about a Ford truck. Hammer away. I'm not the one living in a fantasy land.
    2
  1689.  @starshipdriver8536  No, genius. It won't be built like an APC. It will be mass produced with the same minimum number of crumple zones as any other modern street vehicle, or it won't be certified as legal for highway use. It's not complicated. You and Elon aren't going to hold hands and cruise down the road in an illegal vehicle. Either Tesla will abide by the law or their "super tough" truck will have to be towed to the trails. There is no argument to be had.

Guess what: they fought, too! I guess that means all Italians are violent, right? At least, that's what your "logic" dictates. Face it, you're a bigot. You have an isolated experience with certain dogs and you let that dictate your outlook on their entire breed(s). You're really no better than the people who say all Mexicans are illegals or all Black people are lazy. It's the exact same thing, you just feel comfortable saying it because nobody calls you a bigot for being bigoted against dog breeds. Meanwhile, I grew up with a father who volunteered for the Doberman Rescue Society and who had a love of both Dobermans and Rottweilers. We had Dobies that came from all manner of abusive homes. The vast majority were scared of their own shadows, not savage. The few that were made mean were easier to rehabilitate than the ones that were just made scared. More than a dozen Dobermans came to us to foster and every one of them left stable, loving, and good with kids, cats, etc. The Rotties we had were the most loyal and loving dogs I've ever seen. ...but I'm sure a pack of stupid drunks are better at drawing out the true character of a dog than a loving family, right?

Two shots and a booster to get to 75% protection? Those are terrible numbers. Are there any other vaccines out there that you take 3 times just to get to "probably safe?" Also, with the insane spread of Omicron, how effective is 75%, really? I mean, if we're going to be interacting with Omicron infected people every day, that means every, single one of those people has a 25% chance of giving you breakthrough Covid. Basically, if you interact with at least 4 infected people, you're virtually guaranteed to get Covid, statistically.

States were always free to trade and work with each other, as they pleased, so things like what you're describing would happen naturally, anyway. Meanwhile, the Federal government had a lot less say over everything, so the States weren't forced to deal with each other so much. Not exactly like the EU but along that lines (and we did it first).

They've been trying hard to set up a program where we're getting yearly boosters, funded by our taxes. If people get natural immunity, their trillion dollar plan is foiled.

Considering it's a tobacco and coal State with major swaths of rural Counties, I'd say that's an incredibly good average. California ranks 24th highest, with all of their environmental laws, and tofu-eating health nuts. And unlike Kentucky, California has what those on the Right call "socialized healthcare." I mean, yes, half of the Country is cheaper than Kentucky but then, half of the Country is more expensive, too.

  1754.  @st3435  Nicotine is no more dangerous or addictive than caffeine. It's the combination of nicotine with the MAOIs (and several other things) found in the tar in tobacco that makes cigarettes so addictive, as well as dangerous. One good thing that has come from the vaping trend is that - for the first time in history - we're doing extensive research on nicotine as a standalone substance. Previous, it was tested in tobacco products, almost exclusively. This led to pretty flawed data. Cigarettes are highly addictive and incredibly dangerous to the lungs, heart, etc. Nicotine (at standard levels) suspended in vegetable glycerin is not.

Most of the remote workers who moved to rural areas will be back in town, where they belong.

  1756. A. The report didn't say anything about liquid fuel, which makes sense since this story isn't about liquid fuel. It's actually pretty weird that you're bringing it up. It's almost like you're personally offended, or something. B. Most of the things we own that use Lithium batteries, don't have liquid fuel alternatives. I've never seen a gas-powered phone, laptop, tablet, compact drill, circular saw, impact driver, etc. Also, very few people actually own the current version of EVs - that have Lithium batteries in them - and most never will, so there's another non-issue. EV adoption really doesn't have a chance of picking up steam until they at least have stable, solid-state batteries, that have much better range and are a lot more affordable to replace. C. I've seen authentic battery packs from nearly every major tool brand go up in flames. These are companies that use 18650 and 21700 cells made by Sony and Samsung (the two top brands for these kinds of cells). It's not about "cheap Asian knockoffs" (amusing, considering nearly all of these types of cells are made in Asia). It's about these batteries having a shelf life and a relatively narrow threshold for safe operating conditions. That combined with a much more volatile reaction to being pushed beyond said threshold is absolutely cause for concern to anyone with any sense. Batteries are not a new thing. Household batteries that can spontaneously combust at thousands of degrees, release huge clouds of poisonous gas, and can barely be controlled by current fire suppression methods are a pretty new thing. That's why it's newsworthy.

How many insurance companies are considering jacking prices of, or refusing policies to people who park ICE vehicles in garages? How many ICE vehicles spontaneously combust when sitting in the garage, while your family sleeps? How many ICE vehicles reignite any time within 72 hours of the first fire being put out, with little to no warning? When the batteries in most EVs are the new solid-state sodium cells, there should be a lot less to worry about (hopefully). Currently, an EV is filled with several hundred pounds of highly unstable chemicals, that burn far hotter than gasoline, and de-gas at an insane rate. This is a very loose rung on the ladder to EV success.

  1758.  @C_G1443  There have been more ICE vehicles - by several orders of magnitude - than EVs. Of course there are more instances of them catching fire. There are more instances of them doing pretty much everything. However, there's a _huge difference between an ICE fire and an EV fire. It's pretty much the difference between a Zippo and a blow torch. As for the insurance, you're wrong. They're already starting to look at such things in Europe and if you think US insurance companies aren't going to jump on the bandwagon, you've never dealt with an insurance company. They absolutely love charging extra for things, as well as making exclusions to help them keep their money.

  1759.  @C_G1443  You hadn't said anything about rates in the comment to which I responded. You said more. How embarrassing that you can't even keep track of your own statements. As for rates of EV fires decreasing, I wouldn't hold my breath. The market is about to get flooded with cheap, Chinese EVs that will cut all kinds of corners to protect the bottom line. It's going to be a lot of bad press for EVs in our 24 hour news cycle.

Every new, "relevant" generation has pushed us closer and closer to the brink. The entire world would be an objectively better place if a bunch of "Progressives" hadn't decided that we should do "better" than living like the Amish. For one thing - and most importantly - there would be far fewer humans.

  1764. I'm currently in Northern California but have roots in Kentucky. In the beginning of this Summer, we had weather that almost perfectly emulated Kentucky's. You should have heard all of these babies whining about how humid it was (40-55%, maybe). Most West Coasters wouldn't last a year in Kentucky. Luckily, some of them seem to be figuring that out, as I'm seeing more and more listings back on the market that were sold within the last 2-3 years. I have to assume they were Californians who bought during Covid and have since figured out that they don't really fit there.

  1767. No. The projected number of 1 million EVs sold in the US for 2023 is grossly inflated through deception. It's a lie. They are counting a projection of over 900,000 Hybrid sales among them. Hybrids have internal combustion engines. They are not EVs. About 68,000 actual EVs sold in the US in 2022. Even if EV sales triple this year (which obviously isn't going to happen) they wouldn't be anywhere near 1 million.

  1769. Raja Vamshi Chatharasi You named two people who moved out of India to become successful. That's not an argument you should make when trying to claim your Country isn't poor. All that says is that, if India is poor, it's because all of your talented people go to richer Countries to become successful - rather than staying in India and helping to make it better.

  1770. What he said was way off the mark from what the issue is. "Oh, the gold rush!" Come on. It doesn't matter that a bunch of people moved to California to pursue their dreams. That's not why they're moving out of California. They're fleeing terrible results of policies that most of the rest of the Country said were crazy, to begin with. Because California has a massive population, any exodus from there is potentially terrible for any place in the wake of it. Californians are the reason people in States like Idaho can no longer afford to continue to live in their own home State. Californians decided to escape the mess they made of California. So, they started picking areas and buying up houses. Since they had a lot of money from selling California houses, they happily overpaid for said properties and inflated the market way beyond the reach of locals. This, of course, also spiked the rental prices. Californians are busy gentrifying the rest of the Country and then getting upset when people get mad about it. Sorry but nobody wants to become the next homeless people you trip over on your way to Starbucks. But yeah...gold rush and dreams, or something.

  1773. If that's the point then the test is pointless. They might as well have rented a Corvette and tried to run it in snow with stock tires. They claim they're comparing an AWD car to a 4WD truck to see which is better in the snow. They're not. They're comparing tires that are terrible in the snow with tires that are okay in the snow...just because they happened to come stock on the two vehicles they chose. The minute your tires lose traction, it doesn't matter what vehicle you're in or what features it has. That's all there is to it.

Fortunately, here in the real world we have companies like Cooper that make good tires for people who can't afford your utopian tires. FYI: The majority of the US is in the 'price matters' tax bracket. Screaming "LET THEM EAT CAKE!" just makes you look like an out of touch douchebag.

Grass is softer than gravel when you fall, so why not just have him walk on the grass? It's not like he has some incredibly full, high-end yard. It looks about like mine and I don't get my shorts in a twist about the kids walking and even playing on the grass. Seems like a ridiculous fight.

Name me the $300 air rifle that's putting down elk and grizzly bears from safe (over 100 yards) distances, consistently. Air guns are novelties. A mediocre solution to a problem that was already solved by gun powder.

  1790. Nah, the remote work revolution is already starting to fold. Employers found out that a whole lot of people who work from home tend to screw around and not get things done. Even the ones who are allowing remote work are starting to require office hours for at least a couple of days/week. When you have to go into the office regularly, you can't live out in the sticks. The few remote work positions you can find have way more applicants than they need. The price of houses in remote areas are starting to come down again (they had spiked during the pandemic) because of people having to sell homes they just bought, and move back to the cities to find/keep jobs. My wife has been a remote worker for over 15 years. Friends and family constantly ask her to get them jobs because they "want to get paid to stay home, too." People don't understand that when you work from home, you have to work from home. My wife has an office in our house. When she's working, she's not playing with the kids or watching TV. She's working. We don't go in and bug her because she's not "home," she's working. Most people don't have what it takes to give that kind of dedication to their job. So, most people don't last doing remote work.

  1795.  @Osprey1994  The drug "laws" they are enforcing are Federal. The problem with that is that the US Constitution does not grant the Federal government the authority to regulate drugs on any level. It does, however, say that any powers not specifically granted to the Federal government by the Constitution and not restricted from the States, belong to the States, and the people. That was so important for the structure of this Country, that the founders made it the tenth amendment of the bill of rights. It's written in plain English... that politicians, judges, and lawyers choose to ignore, for their political agendas. Law enforcement officers are not required to violate the US Constitution by any code or law. Anyone who wants to enforce actual laws would learn what they are, first. If they did that, these "laws" would start disappearing, as the cases against them received more support from the right people.

They're way too busy stealing people's stuff to sell for drugs, or beating on each other up to pay attention to politics.

  1811. Coldlight So instead of looking up the facts about Leland Yee and his dealings, you decide to go with "I didn't see it, so it didn't happen." Good call. Nothing like willful ignorance of the facts to keep from having to admit to legitimate problems. You want to deny people their rights based on how they look and whether they answer some questions right. The flaws in that are obvious and plentiful but I guess in a sea of terrible suggestions, it's not the absolute worst I've heard (but that's really not saying much). While we're going by looks, should we also consider the statistical probability of someone using a gun to commit crime based on race? How about religion? What about based on the crime rate in their neighborhood? I mean, if we're going to make suggestions that trample on people's Constitutional rights, we might as well start stepping on civil liberties too, right? Most of the rest of what you said pretty much boils down to being one, long appeal to emotion fallacy, so I really don't have anything for you on that.

  1812. Naftul Zvi A) A database? Sure. As long as there is a clause saying that any Federal agency that uses said database to try to confiscate guns forfeits their position as a Federal agency and are subject to the same treatment as anyone else who trespasses with the intent to commit theft. B) Mental health checks/background checks. Sounds good...provided that said checks have a well laid out framework and an easy to follow appeals process (I'm big on the fourth amendment, too). C) Coldlights points about the second amendment are complete horseshit. The Constitution itself says that our RIGHTS are endowed by our creator (whether one believes in such or not) and guaranteed for We, the People of the United States by the Constitution itself. I'm not sure who he thinks "the citizens" are but it is We, the People. The National Guard was never part of the original plan and is a supplement to the Militia, not a replacement of such. If anyone can show me a document that proves otherwise, I'd be happy to read it. No Constitutional lawyer I've ever heard of - including President Obama - adhered to Coldlights ass-backward view of the Constitution. So yes, I can ignore his points because nobody who matters would take them seriously, either. D) How is going from "Let's judge people by the expression on their face" to "Let's judge people by how they look AND who they pray to" a laughable leap in logic? Hell, at least there are statistics to use in one argument. Nobody has ever tracked the percentage of mass shootings done by people who "look shady." If you don't think such things would bring massive discrimination suits, I'd argue that maybe you aren't ready to be discussing Federal law. I think that about covers it. Going to bed now. Have a good night.

  1813. asdharleychuck123 Again, you're talking about how it what it was "read to mean" but disregard the fact that reading things like the Federalist Papers and other relevant documents of the time will tell you what the founders actually thought about the subject - in their own words. Am I going to take some random politician's, judge's or the NRA's word for it, or would I rather read the actual statements penned by the actual framers of the Constitution? Yes, there are other angles to attack gun issues from but that doesn't matter. The gun rights supporters are arguing from the aspect of the second amendment and they don't much need anything else. How do you think your argument stacks up, when you're essentially trying to tell people that someone's interpretation of the Second Amendment is somehow more relevant than the Founders'? It doesn't work. Interpretation is for when there's uncertainty about what a law or amendment means. There's no misunderstanding. It is written plainly and backed up by historical documentation. The reason others have "interpreted" it differently is because they found it to be problematic. It is. The thing people seem to miss is that we have a Constitutionally guaranteed right to own and carry weapons. There is no documented right to raise your kids to be borderline sociopaths with a strong homicidal urge. There's no right to pad the walls and hide the knives so we can let violent criminals take over "safely." Everyone screams about "morality" and "civilized society" when it comes to guns. Meanwhile, a truly moral and civilized society can have a gun on every hip without incident. That's hard work, though. Gosh, that would take effort from most of us at a local level. Nah, we'll just do what every other lazy, submissive populous does and pad the walls...

  1817.  @louieberg2942  Nice strawman. Did you make it yourself or did it come pre-assembled? I never said there weren't kids throwing up a NAZI salute or whether there were bad intentions behind them. However, pretending to know that every kid in this group is going along with a "NAZI" joke, simply because they're in the same photo is absurd. Furthermore (and to my original point), the media claiming that this is a picture of an entire group of boys doing the NAZI salute and one "brave young man," standing against the crowd, is a flat out lie. It's more propaganda to stoke the fires. This shouldn't be national news. This should be a matter for the school district and the local school. There isn't a story here beyond the very typical "Dumbass Teens Ruin Prom Photo. Those Gesturing Offensively Will Be Suspended And Banned From Prom." That's it.

All of this leads to more trust between law abiding citizens and law enforcement, which we desperately need.

  1824. Neither one of them do, or they wouldn't be defending the government, or the corporations. Government overreach is bad for everyone, as it forces businesses to raise prices (hurts customers), reduce staff (hurts customers and employees), or go out of business (hurts customers and employees). Meanwhile, profitable companies pretending that they have a fiduciary responsibility to overcharge customers and underpay workers, for the sake of increasing profits every quarter for their shareholders, is bad for customers and employees, too. The term "business ethics" has become an oxymoron. For some reason, there has been a major shift. There used to be long-term stocks and short-term stocks. Long-term stocks were the ones you bought as a plan to use for retirement. Short-term stocks were the ones you bought thinking they were about to have a big payoff. Nowadays, most stockholders and corporations seem to think that all of their long-term stocks should pay dividends like short-term stocks. All that does is help create unsustainable inflation. Unfortunately, whenever corporations go too far in taking advantage of their employees and customers, it gives the government an excuse to step in and mess things up even more (as they always do). That's where we are right now.

  1825.  @vie2210  That's where the car came to a stop. If you're a professional driver, you should know that cars don't just stop dead in their tracks when something hits their windshield. Plus, you can see from the damage to the front of the car that it went had bounced off of at least a couple of those concrete dividers. I think you're stuck on the idea that everyone has time to hit the brakes. That's not the case. A car traveling at 65+ mph can coast a very long way, if something doesn't bring it to a stop (which going by the condition of the front of the car, something did). Furthermore, your anecdote about "there's fences" doesn't take into account those which are in disrepair (you know, that infrastructure issue you mentioned earlier) or those that simply haven't yet been fenced (yes, they do exist). Yes, this is speculation but then, that's all either of us has been doing. Now look at 0:17 into the video. They're standing under an overpass, inspecting it. Why would they do that? Whether it was because someone threw the concrete off of it or it chunked off and fell by itself, the car would have had to have passed under it to get hit. Your latest reply actually goes against your original conspiracy theory. Now I have to ask: If the car was nowhere near an overpass, got hit by a piece of concrete and came to a dead stop (so hard that both front wheels were torn loose) where does your new theory say the concrete came from? Space? A special concrete airplane? Or is it possible that someone chucked a piece of concrete off the overpass seen in the video, hit the windshield, killed the driver and the car kept moving forward (as they do) until it had wrecked its front end enough to come to a stop where it appears at around 0:40 in the video? I have an easier time believing that than whatever it is your new implications are pointing to.

  1826.  @vie2210  First, that's not a newer vehicle. Second, the airbag sensors are in the front, rear and sides of a vehicle, near common impact zones. I could throw bowling balls through your windshield at you all day and it would never trigger the airbags or (on newer cars) the brake lockup feature. As for the idea that a piece of debris - traveling in the same general direction as this car - could fall off a truck and through the windshield (without a bounce) with enough force to kill the driver runs pretty counterintuitive to the laws of physics. A body in motion stays in motion. If they were both travelling, say, West at relatively equal speeds, the impact would be at nearly 0 mph. He would have to have been hauling ass past the truck for it to have even made it all the way through the windshield (they're laminated). As for your little snipe at the end, your reading comprehension is lacking. At no point did I even imply that "some drunk teenager did it, open and shut." I presented a plausible alternative to your paranoid ramblings. You pressed me on it and I backed it up - whereas you folded on your claims. Never once did I say "This is what happened." I have no idea what happened. I just know that there are much better odds of some scenarios than others. Your latest scenario is at least getting within the realm of possible, so I applaud you for the effort. However, that wasn't a real forensic hypothesis. It was spit-balling out of frustration of having your other theories dismantled (with your own help). At least we're off the "It's a vast conspiracy!" nonsense. Baby steps.

  1828. The ATF should have no need to classify specific pistol braces. They're pistol braces. They are legal. Furthermore, none of that is relevant. They didn't write a rule saying that all new pistol braces on the market have to get approval. They wrote a rule saying that everyone who bought a type of accessory - that was deemed perfectly legal - will become felons for the crime of simply continuing on with their lives. That means anyone who doesn't know about the new rules will be de facto criminals.

My small generator is a 2000/1600W AIPower that is plenty quiet, reliable and fuel efficient but misses the advertised mark on output by just a bit. Both have been way better than I expected for the price.

  1837. You're arguing that people can't have opinions about this case because they aren't his jurors (or, in your words, smarter than the jurors). That's ridiculous. Everyone is free to have an opinion about anything. Nobody said anything about being "qualified to free or jail anyone." You don't have any more say over people's right to an opinion - or to express their opinion - than anyone but those twelve jurors and the judge have the right to decide this case. As for your nonsense about nobody else being able to have even half of the facts, you are aware that the entire trial has been live streamed, aren't you? It's perfectly reasonable to think there are quite a few people out there who have seen all of the facts that have been presented to the jury. In fact, a great many people are serious fans of true crime, and love nothing more than following a case like this in real time. Did you forget that this is the 21st century? Nobody is waiting for the next morning's newspaper to find out what had been said in court that day.

Are we really going to pretend it's Trump's fault that he thinks he's desirable to women? If you spent your entire life having men just go along with whatever you wanted, are you honestly going to claim that you wouldn't think it was because you were alluring in some way? Come on. We all want to be seen as appealing to those we are attracted to. Very few people will question it too hard when it actually happens.

  1846. jerry Miller That's cute, trying to dodge the facts by saying "hunting" rifles when the OP simply said rifles. It's like you know you're full of it but don't want to admit it. But hey, while you're Googling, why not look up who was responsible for pushing the '94 AWB that banned people from owning a whole slew of different rifles (hint: it wasn't the Republicans). Then take a look at who was trying to make it permanent in 2004, when it was about to expire and it turned out to have no measurable effect on gun violence. Yeah, that's right. Democrats already know that banning those rifles doesn't make a difference but they want them gone, regardless. If I voted Democrat, I'd be pretty pissed at my representatives for trying so hard to push legislation that did nothing to help the first time around. Fun Fact: Columbine (known as the shooting that started this trend) occurred during that period between '94 and' 04, when all of the "evil" black rifles were banned. It's almost as though those kids didn't much care what kind of guns they used...

  1848.  @Spideera  He's a criminal because being an 18 year old with a handgun in a high school who not only discharges the gun but hits unintended targets is four different CRIMINAL charges. The law about such things doesn't change because you've been dealt a bad hand. It doesn't matter what his name is, what his mental state is, or what he looks like. That's a deck loaded with felonies.

The fact that nobody wanta to know where their chicken nuggets come from is the exact reason things have gotten so bad in factory farming. If more people were paying attention, it would result in a better situation for the animals, overall.

  1851. ​ @GA_Styles  Let's say he did have a fixed mortgage. I do. I've been making the same monthly mortgage payment for more than a decade. Of course, insurance has skyrocketed, gas prices have skyrocketed, taxes have skyrocketed, utilities have skyrocketed, and groceries have skyrocketed. My set mortgage price means very little when absolutely everything else has gone up. I'm selling and leaving California. I have to assume you don't pay your own bills.

  1852.  @GA_Styles  No worries there. My wife and I are both in positions wherein we get to take our income with us. Also, unlike all of the fools who are busy trying to move back to the coasts - now that their comapnies have realized most people can't work from home successfully - we've both been in our careers for decades. There's no concern of being called back to the office, since we never worked there in the first place. Let's look at facts, though. If you're making $70/hour as a handyman in California and end up making $50/hour as a handyman in Missouri, Tennessee, Kansas, etc...you're still in a much better financial position.

  1863. "They didn't expect to be staring down the barrel of a gun." And that, right there, is the main problem. When the state government decriminalizes robbery, while criminalizing gun use/ownership, you get emboldened criminals. Anyone who victimizes others and doesn't expect to end up staring down a gun barrel, is a damned fool. Californians are about done being victims for the sake of political grandstanding. Once pushed to he breaking point, it's gonna get real bad out there...for the criminals.

It's pretty much night and day.

  1870.  @jddrafts  Wrong. This is the information age. That means that every vote DOES matter now. You could have made that argument thirty years ago but not now. It doesn't just matter whether your candidate wins, any more. The voting gets broken down and scrutinized and broadcast across the entire Internet. Every, single vote is one that will help show what people actually want. That helps to get others to follow suit. If people believe they are alone on an issue, they'll usually give up. If they see that there are others out there that feel the way they do, there's more chance of them voting for change. Every vote matters. Maybe not the way you want them to but they do. It's one of the few good things that has come of the Internet age.

  1871. That's the thing. These books are available at the public libraries. The entire argument for keeping them in schools for the sake of "freedom" is completely false. That's how you can tell that none of these people actually promote reading in their households. My children had public library cards at five years old. Our library goes so far that if they don't have a book, they let you order it online from their computers. The book gets shipped to your home and from the when it's delivered, you get the normal two weeks to read the book before you have to bring it in. Then they put the card sleeve inside, stamp it, etc. My kids have read so many brand-new books for free, it's crazy. Anyone who really cares about keeping their kids reading, doesn't rely solely on the extremely limited school libraries.

  1872.  @tommytruth7595  He cares so much about us that he bypassed Congress to redefine "automatic weapon" and turn thousands of otherwise law abiding citizens into criminals for owning a novelty item? He cares so much that he said "I like taking the guns and then worry about due process after. That stuff can take too long." Yeah, that's a real caring President. Too bad he doesn't care about the Constitution that he swore an oath to uphold and defend. I voted for him once but I'm done with the" lesser of two evils" nonsense. I'll vote third party and encourage others to do so from here on out. The two party system is destroying this Country. P.S. Your "caring" Republican President was a New York Democrat for many, many years. It wasn't until Obama that he started to switch sides (which was more likely just him knowing that Democrats wouldn't vote for him when he ran, so he jumped ship).

  1876.  @steveb796  If you're not talking about taking all the funs then you're not talking about making any difference. Only people who don't know anything about guns think you need an AR15 to kill a bunch of people. Hell, the Columbine killers used a couple of handguns a pistol carbine and a couple of shotguns. None had larger than ten round magazines. If you're not talking about banning all the guns, you're just posturing for the sake of it. How sad.

You're the type who would push to take such decisions out of the hands of medical professionals and give them to some board of bureaucrats. "Healthcare is a human right!" Sure it is. That's why people want to give the government the power to deny people that "right."

About the time these cars start "safely" pulling across 5 lanes of traffic to stop - because the drivers swerved "too many times" - it's going to be pure chaos. Then the ones behind them will do the same, as those drivers try to avoid the cars ahead of them. It's going to be absolutely insane. On the right day, the I-5 might back up, all the way to Mexico!

  1894. A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. The National Guard is a militia. The constitution says that a militia is necessary to the security of a free state. Securing the border is a major part of the security of border states. Seems like they're doing their job.

  1895. Magma Kojote Why do so many people think the military would blindly eradicate their own families at the word of the government? Especially when they've sworn an oath to defend the people and Constitution of the United States against all enemies? The second the government turns on the people, they are the enemy. Any orders given to kill innocent Americans are unlawful orders. The military has no duty to stand against the people when the people choose to exercise our Constitutionally protected right to dissolve and reform the government any time we choose. Any resistance to the will of the people would come from actual government agencies (FBI, NSA, ATF, DHS, etc). There are over 100 million gun owners in the US with nearly 400 million guns. I don't see a handful of three-letter agencies being very effective against the will of the people...unless the people are unarmed, that is.

As to the answer to the second question, regarding finding that which is causing you stress and getting rid of it: What if the thing that's causing you stress is the unrelenting "news" stories surrounding the C-19 shot, pressuring people into getting jabbed? Could you do me a solid and stop giving me a tension headache? That would be great, thanks.

  1897. The same reason it's legal to use a chainsaw. Yes, if you use it improperly, it will likely harm you. No, that doesn't mean I want the government to ban chainsaws. If you use teflon, you should use it within the safe temperature range. Since I don't care to be that careful, I use pretty much everything except teflon. I have cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, enameled, and copper cookware. There are plenty of viable alternatives available and some of them are even more affordable. Just buy good cookware. If more people cared more about their health and less about being lazy, teflon wouldn't exist. The same can be said for fast food. In fact, if people were to stop eating fast food for a month or two, they could afford some fairly nice cookware and some meat and veggies to cook in it.

  1898. This is the way that Democrats protect the law abiding from the criminals? By making detailed lists of people who jumped through hoops to follow the law and then publish that list on the open Internet for all to see? WIth friends like that, who needs enemies?

  1899.  @claytonhenrickson9326  I'm aware. It was also a ruling in a time when dictionaries have expanded the definition of literally to also mean figuratively, due to common (mis)usage. That is a very important part of that case. No such issue exists here.

  1900. ​@richardmorgan1588 Who is talking about shooting someone by accident? It's not an accidental shooting if you shoot someone in a ski mask, waving a gun around, even if it turns out the gun was fake. It was still an intentional shooting and it was a clean shoot. If you rob a convenience store with a fake gun, they still prosecute you for armed robbery. Why? Because it's not up to the public to assume the seemingly viable deadly threat they're facing is actually a toy. You chose to present yourself as an armed robber, so you will be treated as such by both the people in the convenience store and by the courts. If you get shot by the clerk or a bystander, that's on you for tricking them into thinking you're a deadly threat.

  1906. So that my 5-year-old isn't the one that blows her own head off and winds up on the news, if she ever comes across a firearm. Can you say the same of your kid?

  1907. Keith Munro That's a great question. How much experience did the shooter have? Did you stalk him and make sure he wasn't out in the Nevada desert every day practicing for this? You act like this guy walked into it cold, knowing nothing about what he wanted to do. This was planned out and had backup plans to boot. But you think he just randomly chose from his arsenal and magically ended up with the ones he used? He obviously knew he could handle those guns, so I'm not sure why you're doubting it. Furthermore, bump firing 5.56 is hardly that big of a deal. If he had been running something with real kick, I might agree with you but practice + adrenaline + a relatively low powered round means that yes, he would have easily been able to handle it.
    2
  1908. Just a thought: Maybe taking a Catholic/Catholic adjacent demographic, telling them that trans is real, their kids can be trans, and there's nothing they can do about it...isn't the way to keep their vote. Think about it. The huge wave of black voters in 2008 were the reason gay marriage didn't pass in California. Blacks and Hispanincs are predominantly conservative. They vote Democrat because they've been convinced that Republicans are all bigots who want them dead. It's becoming obvious who the real racists are and that doesn't bode well for the Democrat Party.

  1909. Nah, it'll be fine. The show will stop losing subs before it gets down to 2 million (which is a number most new YouTubers would kill for). The simp army will continue to engage with the show down in the comments for a while, which will keep the algorithm working in its favor. They can't help themselves. They created fake relationships with what equates to a modern day TV personality, and they can't deal with the "loss." Reagan will find her rhythm and start gaining new followers of her own, and the show's numbers will stabilize. Brett will start posting to her own channel, at which time, her army will bombard her videos' comments sections with tales of how valiant they were on her behalf. Then, if they're really lucky, Brett will actually read and respond to the comments on that channel...which is a lot more than she did with the ones on "The Comments Section with Brett Cooper."

Most cars manufactured in the last 20 years could be retrofitted with a control module in under an hour. Oops.

  1914. What is the point of spending millions of dollars to release a remake that is, for all intents and purposes, a "digitally remastered" version of the original? Honestly, there is little enough difference between these dragons and the originals that it really isn't worth the money you spent on actors. The dragon scenes in this trailer honestly just look like they took the original footage and added a filter.

  1919.  @jbarton1541  You poor, misguided soul. Let me help you. A little history lesson for you: Back in the 80's school kids liked to make up meanings for different hand gestures. It's not surprising because their parents liked to make up nonsense about symbolism on things like Marlboro cigarettes. Anyway, kids started deciding that the "Okay" hand gesture kinda looked like a 'W' and a 'P.' Of course, it was declared that this meant "White Power." It spread around, as things like that do, and a good laugh was had by anyone who wasn't a moron. The best part was when you convinced some poor schmuck it was true and they would flash it to groups of Neo-NAZIs, thinking it was doing something to keep them safe (it wasn't). The looks on their faces were good for a laugh. In fact, more than a few people caught beatings from said NAZIs because they thought the person was hitting on them, or mocking them (that part wasn't funny). Fast forward a few decades and we come to the era of Internet trolls. Some of the most prominent of which are the members of 4chan. One day, they decided to take the old trope and spread it around on the Internet, to see if they could get stupid people to believe it. Well, it worked. Stupid people in the corporate media ran with it and stupid people who believe everything corporate media says believed it. Those who knew the truth of the symbol's origin were happy to continue trolling the stupid people because, frankly, it was funny. Even Right and Far Right groups got in on the joke, which of course made the stupid people feel completely vindicated in their idiocy. However, now the joke has gone too far. Stupid people are actually trying to persecute people over a hand gesture that has no actual ties to NAZIism. So, here we are, having this discussion. I know it hurts to learn this but you've been duped. You were guided by stupid people into believing a stupid thing. You were way too trusting and now you just look foolish to the millions upon millions of people who were in on the joke. Please, feel free to spread the word amongst your fellow dupes. I know it's embarrassing to admit to falling for such an obvious joke but really, it's better than being willfully ignorant in the face of the truth. I wish you good fortunes and a fulfilling life.

  1929. Then don't jaywalk, don't get into drug/gang activity, and do plenty of cardio. Car accidents, gang/drug crime and heart disease have a much better chance of killing you than a random active shooter. Truth be told, there are dozens of things more likely to kill you but I really didn't want to delve that deep into making a list. You get the point. Perspective is key. Don't give yourself a heart attack worrying about something that likely won't happen to you.

What's worse is that he's not going to be effective enough to strengthen your cause. He'll only piss off enough people to make the pendulum swing too far in the other direction. He was the lesser of two evils but I hate to think about what's going to replace him. Hey, how do you Alt-Righters feel about having the first Jewish trans-lesbian President? That's probably what's in store, now that the Right is eating itself.

  1939. I roll my own #4 buckshot for my home defense shotgun. Seems (by my testing) to be the best mix of stopping power and proper penetration properties (less over-penetration).

  1940. Gruesome Newsom just signed into law a new bill. If someone sues California for violating their Constitutional rights and they lose (which is often the case, since the 9th circuit court is corrupt) they now have to pay the State's legal fees. That's right, California is now using financial ruin as an intimidation tactic to keep people from puahing back against government overreach. Welcome to paradise.

  1942. 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.

  1943. Also from Upstate New York, originally. When I was a kid, we used the gas oven and all four stove burners for heat when the power went out. When it's -5F and the power is going to be out for days, a gas or wood stove becomes essential for survival.

  1944.  @danielbarber9423  It's almost adorable how naive you are. No, it's not. What you're seeing from whatever coastal city you live in is not the norm. Not even close. I'd invite you to do some actual travelling around this Country and see what I mean. People know that meat comes from dead animals. It has never been a secret. The hunting culture alone is immense in the US, as is the meat industry. That's countless people who are directly and indirectly involved in the process. You're going to try to convince people who kill their own food, people who kill other people's food, and people who eat the food that their relatives killed that they wrong? Nope, sorry. Then there are all of the urbanites who simply don't care. You think the next generation is becoming more empathetic? Have you talked to any of them? Have you seen the reports of record numbers of school shootings? You're fooling yourself, all because you know a person who became vegan on their own, while their classmates were running over prostitues in GTA and blowing up animals in Minecraft.

  1952. You think the type of motor makes any difference? Modern ICE vehicles are nearly all drive-by-wire, brake-by-wire, electronically controlled transmissions, etc. Hell, many have remote start/stop and push-button ignitions. With a few servos and RF units, you could remotely control the majority of cars made today. They could literally start your car and drive it down the road, from the other side of the world. I have no use for EVs but to pretend they need EVs to exist in order to control cars is just ridiculous.

  1953. Play lethal games, win lethal prizes. I'm sorry for those who will mourn him. Here's hoping more people explain to loved ones who are heading down the wrong road that pointing a gun at someone is a declaration. You're declaring that you're willing to take their life. In that moment, you're simultaneously giving up your right to live. The minute you threaten to take someone's life, they have every right to end yours. A little reminder for the would-be criminals out there. Currently, there are over 460 million guns in the US. That's enough to arm every, single US citizen and have about 130 million guns left over. The vast majority of those guns belong to average citizens who just want to live their lives. Eventually, you will come across one of them and they will shoot you if you pull a gun on them.

  1954. That's essentially Europe's primary, useful function. They make for a great retirement community for those who made good money elsewhere. They're like a giant North Carolina or Florida.

That's not some conspiracy theory. It's documented on various news outlets, along with a leaked email between two people at the CDC about why they were doing it. Changing the definition of a word to try to prove something fits that word is, in fact, proving it doesn't.

The FBI and DOJ wouldn't even have to be instructed not to pursue it because they would refuse to do so, outright. They wouldn't want to cause the kind of havoc that would obviously occur. There's no point in releasing the list, other than to confirm the suspicions that some of us have had for a long time. That's all. The world would continue on in its downward spiral and we would be no closer to cleaning up this mess.

  1967. I was fortunate enough to have gotten my older son out of his public school and into a charter school with a robust distance learning program, right before the pandemic hit (a coincidence that felt like winning the lottery). I had gotten my younger son enrolled in another charter school for the next semester but couldn't get him in sooner. The difference between their next few months was like night and day. My younger son - who is a straight A student - spent weeks waiting for his school to figure out how to educate kids that all had school issued Chromebooks. Why? Because for some reason, using the same, exact tools they had been using in the classroom the whole time suddenly became a foreign concept to these "educators." Instead, they made us drive to the school every week, pick up a work packet, drop off the previous week's, lather, rinse, repeat. Of course, the packets were a joke and my son would finish them the first day. It wasn't even up to the already low standard of the education they were giving him in school. So many kids in my district fell behind, hard. Especially when the district announced that they wouldn't be grading the work. Simply giving students a pass or fail based on whether they turned it in. At this point, there is still a large segment of students who never caught back up. It doesn't matter, though. They'll graduate on time, with a significant hole in their education. That's all the public schools in most of California are, after all; meat processing plants that are just moving the cattle through. No Child Left Behind...because otherwise, people will see how bad we are at our jobs! Meanwhile, my older son went from being behind to blowing my mind with the work he was churning out. They told us about the fast track program they offer during orientation. The idea of early graduation was never something he considered attainable, before. So, free from social distractions (until after his schooling is done) and middling teachers (his current ones are great) he is now set to graduate a year early, with some college courses already under his belt. I've since gotten my younger son into another charter school that allowed him to catch up and bypass his previous level. They're pretty good but not as good as the other charter school. They still have certain limitations on how far the students can get. He will be enrolling in his brother's school in the Fall and is ecstatic about it. He wants to see if he can catch up to his older (by two years) brother before he graduates and at that school, he has the opportunity to do so. Public school? They can keep it. My boys are so much better off now than they were.

  1974. I don't really think it was a strength thing in this situation. Watch the clip. When she got hit with the soup, it put her completely off track. She's drenched and her eyes and nose are stgarting to burn from the spices. She's a 105 lb girl who was low-key pepper sprayed. Plus, you can see by her telling of the incident that she is probably not the violent type (mannerisms are all wrong). Her reaction is exactly what I would expect, given the givens.

If you bring one of their batteries in and put it on the counter, they don't even bother looking to see the date on it. They just tell you to go grab a new one and bring it back to them. Then, they scan it, give you a "receipt" to get out the door and send you on your way. It's awesome.

  1982. ​ @jonathanwilliams7920  It has never been harder to get a gun in the US. We used to buy REAL machine guns (not these wannabe semi-autos) in corner stores and through catalogs, with no background checks at all. The common denominator is that every year, there are more people who are comfortable with murdering others. More people who want to commit suicide but want to take others with them when they go. But hey, keep pretending guns are somehow the new thing that are causing these issues, rather than dealing with the real issues that lead people to turn into monsters. It's been working great so far! 👍

  1998. I'm sorry but you're full of it. If the property owners weren't already paying their property taxes, the state would have foreclosed on it before the squatters got there. If I own something and I'm paying my taxes on it, you have no right to decide I don't want it - even if you also decide to pay my taxes. If I didn't want it, I would sell it or give it away. That's how it works. How is it that nimrods will claim that it's okay to steal a property because someone isn't "using" it? Meanwhile, if the property owner turned it into a reserve and then didn't "use" it, that would be a different story? The trees and animals on my dirt don't care how I classify my land but somehow, people do. Maybe I want to let the animals have it for thirty years until I'm ready to retire. Nah, that's not okay because, um...reasons. Your username suits you in ways you don't fully comprehend.

  2008. That's the thing. These largely aren't cases of people no longer paying their property taxes. Those properties do get seized by the state in most cases, and are auctioned off at tax auctions (I've been to quite a few of them). These are cases where people are paying their taxes, someone else starts paying them too, and instead of the state refusing the extra payments or notifying the property owner, the state allows this to go on long enough and then declares the trespasser to be the rightful owner. It's basically a long-term bribe to get the state to steal property and give it to you.

  2011. Even the big corporate fast food chains are going to end up closing restaurants. There are six fast food joints in my city. Friday and Saturday nights used to see lines around their parking lots to get to the drive-thru. Now, it's rare to see more than one other car in line when you pull in. They've all raised their prices and reduced their workforce, so now they screw up the orders even worse than they used to and it costs more. Most folks around here are getting fast food a lot less than we used to. There's no point when you can eat in a real restaurant for a similar price and actually get the food you ordered. Don't worry, though. When that industry tanks, California politicians will spin it as a good thing, since fast food is unhealthy. Plus, they'll have all those people - who used to work fast food - receiving more government assistance. That's basically like buying votes. Nobody votes against the politicians putting food on their table, even if those politicians are responsible for them losing their jobs in the first place.
    2
  2012. That's okay. My burgers are better than most burger joints', anyway. In all seriousness though, he's absolutely right. You can't even slow the spread in places like NYC. The population density is insane there. Anyone who has ever walked through NYC can tell you that any virus that requires six feet of distancing is going to infect everyone there. They're like cattle at a slaughterhouse. Just packed in together, rubbing shoulders with everyone they pass.

  2014. hellasow b Um, you might want to rethink your "guns of their time" stance. At the time, the 2nd amendment was also protecting private citizens' right to own cannons. I really don't think you want to go there. Anyway, your premise is false, regardless. "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the Right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." "The people" had the same firearms available to them as any modern (for the time) army. Do you really think the founders intended for the militia to continue using muskets when any invading force was upgrading their arms? They knew about things like the Puckle gun at the time the Constitution was penned. They didn't add any clauses that said "But if guns get, like, really powerful and stuff, the People totally shouldn't have those." Why? Because they were building a Country based on individual freedoms. They fought to get out from under the thumb of an overreaching government. The Second Amendment was put in pace so that no American would ever have to submit to one again. So yeah, I'm pretty sure they'd have been cool with AKs and ARs. You really shouldn't try to argue for more Federal regulations by invoking the founding fathers. They'd have probably shot you for treason. Just sayin'.

Not to mention, the man could well have decided to "defend" himself from the "intruder" dog in "his" house with that shotgun. Every, single, thing about this situation was made worse by an unlocked door. Just flip the lever. It's not even hard to do.

  2019. Try using one in a power outage. I've had my power knocked out for days in the Winter. A gas stove/oven is a handy way to keep from freezing, while you keep from starving. The alternative would be having to run a gas generator for the furnace and stove. Any way you slice it, the grid is not trustworthy, so having other fuel sources and appliances that use them are necessary to a lot of us. Not to mention, gas appliances are typically cheaper to run. I have a gas stove, furnace, and water heater because of this fact. Having extra money every month is never a bad thing.

  2020.  @sobuboss  That's exactly the point. Federal laws like these typically screw over millions of people who aren't considered when writing bills. A law that doesn't negatively affect "Sondre's" region can cause people to freeze to death in the Northern parts of the US. It doesn't matter if induction stoves are "better" or if there are more efficient heating methods. When it's -10°F, the roads are buried under a foot of snow, and the power is out, what matters is living through it.

  2029. Inland, Northern California (I-5 corridor). The climate is going from dry and desert like to having four seasons and enough rain to provide plenty of water. If you're smart, you'll get in on it early, while the real estate is significantly cheaper than SoCal. Within the next few years, the market is going to go insane, as everyone scrambles to buy up property. Lakes, rivers, mountains, and lots of land. Within ten years, Redding will be a major California city. Anyone buying in Shasta or any of the surrounding counties right now, is basically printing money for tomorrow. While fools are moving inland, away from the richest State in the union (and the only one taking climate change seriously) the smart money is just moving North.

It's a relatively tiny sliver of coastline, packed with too many people vs the entire rest of the State, with people spread out in a healthy way. Unfortunately, California's big cities are huge, so you end up with extremely high concentrations of people voting for things that only make sense to those who are drowning in problems.

  2035. It's not a new shot. They wouldn't waste the R&D money on that. It's the exact, same as the first. They see an opportunity to get people onto a treatment plan that happens to align with their fiscal quarters. You see, they figured out a while ago that cures are not as profitable as treatments. So, they come up with a shot that is just good enough to sell to those who are scared and desperate. Then they resell them the same thing every three months, to keep their profit margins up. It's a beautifully crafted system that the fearful will not question. Why? Because they're afraid that if they stop complying, they'll die. Nobody else is claiming to be able to "save" them and they can't fathom a world wherein they have to just protect themselves. Throw in some politicians who love getting kickbacks and news media that thrives on sensationalism and you've got a perfect storm. Omicron is thus far non-lethal. It's really fast moving. It also appears to be completely resistant to the shots. We'll pretty much all get it and then we'll all have what we need to fight off future variants. This is the beginning of the end for big Pharma's record breaking profits and they're scared as hell. $40,000,000,000/year allows you to buy off a lot of doctors, politicians, and news pundits. The coverage will get worse as we all get better. Guaranteed.

  2045. This makes perfect sense. I mean, California (richest State in the Union) sits below Kentucky (one of the poorest States in the Union) in K-12 education and graduation rates. They could spend some of their massive tax base to attract better teachers, create effective curricula, buy top of the line learning materials, etc...but it's cheaper to just game the system. That way, school boards can continue to pocket major amounts of cash, while still artificially inflating the education numbers. See? Best of both worlds!

  2046. I live in California. What kind of gun do you want? They're all here and unlike the crippled versions, the good ones don't require any paperwork (because they're not registered). I follow my State's laws because I don't want my kids growing up without their father. However, if I were so inclined, I could have everything a person from any other State has inside of a week. California hasn't done a damn thing to stop criminals from having anything. The only reason I don't have them is because I choose not to be a criminal.

  2048. They all know how to solve these problems. They just won't. Granted, some states don't have the resources to make the kinds of changes that are necessary, however states like California don't have that excuse. Their refusal to change things is all about keeping plenty of people voting for the politicians who keep them reliant on the state for their income. California's super-majority gets to pass all manner of terrible laws, and spend their way from a $200,000,000,000 surplus to a $65,000,000,000 deficit in just three years, because the majority aren't willing to vote against the people who provide them with government assistance.

By your reasoning, we should start calling it "Political Removal of Residence," even though it's not about politics.

  2051. azem321 You've got that backwards. When LAW ENFORCEMENT decides it's an act of terrorism, they apply different resources. The media calling it a terrorist attack has nothing to do with it.

I fully support making real change to our law enforcement agencies. I fully support putting major pressure on the government to make that happen. However, that's not what these people did. They chose to steal American soil and declare themselves sovereign. They'll be extremely lucky if they aren't treated like the Confederacy.

The major difference between "kids today" and previous generations, is the sheer volume of outside influence today's kids have. My generation's influences were family, church (for those who went,) friends, school, radio, and about 50 - regulated - cable TV channels. This generation has all of that and an endless stream of random, unfiltered content. Of course they are harder to reach, but to imply that they are the first generation of kids who lack fully formed critical thinking skills, is disingenuous at best.

They're really very good at scaring people into sticking with voting for one of the two big Parties. They make sure nothing changes. These people are referred to by the politicians they vote for as "useful idiots."

Sometimes they conquered others and sometimes they fended off conquerors. The strong survive. Assigning modern interpretations of morality to it long after the fact, is disingenuous at best. Yes, the entire story should be told. No, that shouldn't change the fact that we celebrate the man who helped lead the way for the United States to exist, today. Any American who feels otherwise should put their money where their mouth is: Lead by example and vacate this continent. Give your home to an indigenous person and swim back to Europe.

  2083. lina Arroyo What do you mean? Those societies exist today. Every Country in existence right now either invaded others or fought off invaders. You're a proud Italian, so you should know that your own Country's history is filled with such things. As far as I know, Italy is still there. It hasn't "self destructed." The strong survived. My point stands. Yes, we should behave better than people did then. I never said otherwise. What I said was that we should not apply our modern version of morality to people who lived hundreds of years ago. It's really that simple. Edit: As far as other cultures needing praise, I agree completely. The minute they form a holiday that is ACTUALLY about that and NOT about taking a holiday away from someone else, I'll back them completely. This, however, is not what that is. Happy Columbus Day

If you're 6', 200lbs, and aren't muscular, you're overweight/unhealthy. At the bottom end of the spectrum, a 6' man can be as little as 160 and still be healthy. This would be the area someone should be if they have very little muscle (desk job, doesn't work out, etc). So, an actual, average, healthy, 6' tall man should be around 178 - to account for average muscle mass.

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.

Just because some people keep them doesn't mean they have anything to do with a discussion about regular house pets. Furthermore, even those who do keep deadly snakes or big cats, are rarely killed by them. The chances are less than 1 in 1,000,000 for either. Meanwhile, your chances of being killed by a Corn Snake, Ball Python, etc, are the same as that of being killed by a tabby cat...except, of course, for those with severe pet allergies. They technically can be killed by house cats, simply by coming in contact with their fur. Meanwhile, virtually nobody is allergic to reptile scales. Snakes are the superior pet. It's not even close. There is enough ignorance and irrational fear on the Internet. Please don't openly spread more.

  2104. Vincino Gstar Really? Can you name any other Constitutional Right they've taken away? No? Why is that? Maybe because they know there are enough privately owned guns to arm the entire Country and a mass confiscation would lead to another revolutionary war. This isn't some tiny European Country with a few hundred thousand guns. We have more than 350 million guns and founding documents that say if the government ever tries to take them, we have the right to dismantle it and rebuild as we see fit. And don't bother with the "But the military" argument. There are very few among our military who would fire on American civilians for defending Rights that they, themselves took an oath to protect. This Country belongs to We, the People. The government is a bunch of hired employees who get fired if they step out of line. There is no authority in this Country greater than the will of the People. But if you're so gung ho, why not lead the charge? Start knocking on doors and insisting the 100+ million gun owners give up their guns and see how far that gets you.

Everyone figures it's a 30-30 or 357 Magnum...until I squeeze the bang switch. Man, the looks I get when that thing goes off are hilarious! Unfortunately, I can't find anyone making "California friendly" hunting ammo for it, so it has been relegated to the range. I think I'm gonna go ahead and try my hand at loading, though. It seems like a waste not to take it out and put it to its proper use. Anyway, thanks for the conversation. Enjoy that Sharps of yours and let me know if you're ever planning to part with it!

  2117.  @Ptaku93  Sting? Not sure what you mean by sting but okay. I spend money on our kids and our pets. Your comment is in no way offensive, it's just naive and overly simplistic. When you have enough money to do more than the bare minimum, it's not an "either/or" proposition. Your "insight" only applies to people who can't afford both. Hence, why I said it was oversimplified.

  2123. All so true. The last time we went back to visit my wife's family, I was glad to be driving a Suburban. I can't imagine what those roads would have done to the underside of a sedan. It's funny because all of the parking and most of the street widths are clearly designed for sub-compacts but the road conditions are nearly as bad as the dirt road I take up to the lake to go fishing. Maybe I should pick up a cheap Suzuki Samurai for our next trip down. I can certainly afford to have a third vehicle, now that I don't live there.

  2124. 4:19 I've got to disagree with you, there. They don't have Constitutionally enumerated rights. However, in a place where there is no government, you actually have more rights. There are no laws restricting said rights. In the Seattle Pedestrian Autonomous Zone (SPAZ,) there are zero legal restrictions on any freedoms. Of course, the part that people don't get is that without government, there's nobody to defend those rights for you. You have to defend them for yourself. It's the very definition of dangerous freedom

If it was ever just about speed, everyone would be running twin turbos in the absolute lightest cars they could find. That's not the case, though.

Brushless motors are more efficient across the board. That's an objective fact. You can love brushed tools all day long. Lord knows I love the ones I have left. That doesn't change reality and it doesn't mean I need to act offended that better technology has come along since I started working. A direct comparison between brushed and brushless tools in the same category will show the brushless tools having a better power:battery life ratio. That's all there is to it. I swear, fanboys are ridiculous.

The gas is already being used to create motion and the heat generated is a natural byproduct. The air conditioner uses gas, as it requires a pump to engage and circulate coolant, which creates drag on the motor.

  2144. Zoe Thomas But that was my point. It's not that you are causing it, just like it's not most Jehovah's Witnesses causing it. It's that there are very vocal members of both camps who - due to their overbearing nature - make the rest of you look bad. The most vocal Vegans are typically incredibly arrogant. They look down on everyone else and cast dispersions on anyone who doesn't choose to be Vegan as well. Those people become the "Poster People" for Veganism, simply by virtue of being the loudest. You get lumped in with them because most people don't even know that there are rational Vegans. How could they? Those of you who are, aren't exactly standing up on soapboxes to project your moderate message to the masses. It sucks but it's how things are.

  2145. Penny Polendina Of course animal life has a value. All life has a value. It's assigned by those with the checkbook. Animal life is worth as much as people are willing to pay to for it. Likewise, human life is worth as much as we are willing to pay to preserve it. No more, no less. It's not about animal lives having no value, it's about them having far less value. When discussing the "TUV" vs "XYZ" of how we treat our food, you have to be able to make a value-based argument to make headway. The end result is GOING to be dead animals regardless of how they're treated. It's hard to convince people to pay more for a dead cow, simply to give it a slightly better life before its inevitable death and consumption. You have to work a different angle. Example: Kobe beef is arguably the best tasting meat in the world. The cows live better than a lot of people do and the end result is the most tender, flavorful steak you'll ever taste. It also happens to be the most expensive and hardest to find beef in the world, due to it only being produced on a small scale. If we were to start rolling out changes to US cattle facilities to bring them up to the standards used to produce Kobe beef, we could all be eating far superior meat to what we have now and for a fraction of the cost of Kobe. See? Suddenly, there's value in giving livestock a better life. There's a reason for the average dead cow eater to care how that cow lived. We want everything the super rich have and we want it for Walmart prices. Will we ever get to the point where all cows are treated as well as Kobe cows? No. Would we be able to drastically increase their living conditions from what they are now? Most likely.

  2146. Penny Polendina Wow, you are incredibly adept at extracting exactly what you want from someone's statement and discarding everything they actually said. I had no idea I was talking to someone with such an advanced case of denial. I'll leave you to that. There really is no reason to carry the discussion any further than it has gone. Be well.
    1
  2147. Penny Polendina What argument? You haven't said anything to refute. I told you how SOCIETY places value on LIFE and you came back with nonsense about a person's income and expense. I talked about the way to add value to giving better care to livestock and you sputtered about balancing the number of lives taken with the number of lives created. Nothing you said would even remotely be construed as a logical or evidence based argument against anything I said. How exactly am I supposed to proceed? Should I counter your irrelevant retort with a dissertation on my favorite color? Would you like a sonnet about the benefits of button-fly jeans? Either one would be about as relevant as the "argument" you last presented. Now, if you'd like to give my comment another read and try coming back with something that actually addresses the things I talked about, I would be happy to keep this going. Otherwise, if you're just going to change the subject, there's really no point. You can go ahead and come back with another "clever quip" about me and "win"... or whatever it is you think having the last word in a YouTube thread gets you. Let's see which way you go with it.

Therefore, if someone wants to add to something they've already said, they must either launch a browser to log in on, or reply to their own comment. I did not feel like going through the process of logging into YouTube in my browser, simply to add one point to my statement, so this was the method I chose. If this bothers you, I would suggest contacting the YouTube development team and telling them to allow editing in the Android app.

  2150. 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.

California wants the refugees and the refugees want to go to a place where they'll be accepted. Why do the other 49 States even have to be involved? I thought we were only talking about 10,000 people. The second largest State can surely absorb that. All kidding aside, a buddy of mine is a.... migrant worker. He's all pissed right now, saying "What the hell?! Those guys are going to come here and take all the jobs! There's too many of us as it is!" I'm not gonna lie. I laughed my ass off.

  2155. "What are Mexicans?" People who are from Mexico. Also used to refer to people whose family came from Mexico. Gosh, that was a hard conversation. It's not like the word Mexican is taboo. Ask a Mexican. We love the word Mexican. It's called pride!
    1
  2156. Martin Poulter I never said he was. I'm saying that it wasn't funny satire because the unspoken punchline equates to a mundane conversation that anyone who isn't Mexican (and some who are) inevitably end up having with their children. When kids hear a word they haven't learned yet, they ask their parents what it means. If they hear the word Mexican from the President, it's no worse than them hearing it from anyone else. There are plenty of awful words that Trump has said that I wouldn't want my kids to hear from the leader of the Country. Mexican isn't one of them. tl;dr: It wasn't funny. It was lame and sad.

  2157. Prodigous Pig Mexicans don't come from Spain, genius. Mexicans come from Mexico. You see, the Spanish went to Mexico a long, long time ago and decided to settle in and make whoopie with the indigenous people. Many, many years later, Spanish and indigenous roots both exist in Mexico. That does not mean that all Mexicans are of Spanish lineage. Nor does it mean that all Mexicans are of indigenous lineage. It just means that both lines do exist there. Regardless, Mexicans don't come from Spain. Not unless they happen to be from Mexican lineage and were born/raised in Spain. Your crude generalization is just that. Furthermore, it was a pointless statement that added nothing to the conversation... Oh, crap. I just realized that I'm probably talking to a troll. Damn it, you got me. Good trolling. I wasn't expecting it at all. Take a bow.

Though I admit that in this particular instance, he is speaking mostly of the media about their reporting of this story. I don't dispute this. You'll notice that my first paragraph was about/to Cenk, while my second was about/to those who continue to call for bloodshed in the name of equality. I apologize if my intended audience for each was unclear. Be well.

  2162. +crass1w Oh, okay. So you just want to be the judge and jury and watch the killing from the safety of your home. That's great. What a humanitarian. I don't know whether they will leave peacefully. Neither do you. That's something that will be decided by their interactions with the negotiator. Again, the difference is that I'm not writing off the situation and calling for mass murder. I WANT it to end peaceably. You are right about one thing (kind of). They should be treated like anyone else in the same situation. That means that ANYONE in the same situation should be given the chance to live through it. But I guess people like you think every crime merits a death sentence. Equality through bloodshed...what a twisted idea.

  2163. +crass1w Someone hasn't done the reading. This whole thing is about government land seizures via imminent domain. What? You thought a bunch of guys just randomly decided they liked a certain piece of dirt and moved in? They're protesting the taking of private ranches by the Federal government. It's actually pretty hilarious seeing someone spouting on about a story they know absolutely nothing about...while calling everyone else in the discussion a moron. Seriously, that made my day. Thank you for that well placed punchline to the joke that is "crass1w."

  2164. +crass1w The Hammonds are an excuse for the Bundy group to be there. Nothing more. If you did any research other than listening to Cenk, you'd know exactly why they are up there. For the record, living in the same State where something is happening doesn't magically cure you of blind ignorance. Also, what exactly is an "info war," some kind of debate forum or something? I get my facts through research. The information isn't exactly hard to find. You might start with a simple Google search.
    1
  2165. +crass1w So you think that because you followed the Hammond case that gives you insight into the current situation with Ammon Bundy and his group? Sure buddy, okay. Keep lying to yourself about why they are there....but maybe ask yourself something. If they are actually there because of the Hammonds and not a larger imminent domain protest, why are they staying in spite of the Hammonds distancing themselves from the group? Also, why do these people, in every interview, keep saying that they are there to protest the Bureau of Land Management seizing private property through imminent domain? Apparently "crass1w" is so amazing that he's capable of just knowing - even better than the protesters themselves - why they are protesting. That's so incredible, I'd dare call it unbelievable.....because it's not actually believable.

  2172. While I don't think people need to walk around with rifles, I understand the point. People have such an insane, knee-jerk reaction when they see people carrying guns and they shouldn't. We're becoming a country that fears guns so much that it sends people screaming in every direction. We have emergency preparedness drills in schools so our children know how to react in an ACTUAL emergency, yet adults act like stampeding cattle at the first hint of (supposed) danger. A) The guns aren't going away, so it's time for people to get used to them again (that's right, I said again) and learn the difference between an uncomfortable situation and a real emergency. B) These employees are perfect examples of what NOT to do unless you want to needlessly escalate a situation (which they did). C) Did I mention that the guns aren't going anywhere? That's okay, it bears repeating.
    1
  2173. A) We are not a Democracy. Anyone telling you otherwise is an idiot or a liar. B) The comparisons made in this video are a stretch, to say the least. C) The only time anyone complains about the Electoral College is when they don't get their way. Then, suddenly it's a problem. It's the equivalent to sitting down at a chess board, playing the game, losing and then complaining that you would have rather been playing checkers. The rules of the game have been in place for a couple hundred years. There's no excuse for not knowing how to play. D) Apparently, Trevor and Adam don't know this but swing States change all the time. They changed drastically this election. A candidate can't just concentrate on "a few swing States" and expect to win. In fact, there are only a handful of "dark blue" and "dark red" States. All the rest are up for grabs (obviously). The Electoral College is not perfect but the concept is sound. A few modifications are all that's needed. I'm so tired of the "burn it all down" mentality.

  2174. +Gabriel Cowley Whether it seems strange to you or not, it's how things work. We're talking about public perception, not what your responsibilities are. If you are okay with certain people representing a group you belong to, you let them speak for said group. If you are not okay with it, you speak up. You use the example of whether you should speak out against Communists. That depends. Do you feel that Communists are publicly claiming that their brand of "Leftism" is the only true Leftism? Do you think that the public, in general, feels that anyone left of center is a Communist? If so, I would imagine you might have something to say about that. I assume that you don't though, given that you are using this example to try to disprove my statement. Again, this is a perception issue. Feminists are perceived as "man-hating femi-nazis" because they are being represented as such. If it's not up to Feminists to deal with whether or not they're okay with being perceived this way, who do you propose is responsible for dealing with it?
    1
  2175. +Gabriel Cowley All good points. But consider this: A) Whether the extremists are getting attention by themselves or by "anti's" holding them up as examples, they're still being seen. Denouncing them sends a clear message to all. Staying silent allows everyone to draw their own conclusions as to why you're staying silent. Meanwhile, you take the "high ground" of not directly attacking your opposition. B) If the general populous were able to easily dismiss extremists, ignore the opposition and draw their own conclusions, Feminism would be more popular and we wouldn't be seeing more and more people coming out publicly to ensure the world knows they're not a Feminist... right?
    1
  2176. +Felix Avenier Careful. You're treading very close to making a "No true Scotsman" claim. The fact is that we don't get to just dismiss our least desirable representatives by simply holding up a dictionary. There are truly off-the-wall people who claim to speak for Feminism. They spew all kinds of nonsense and hate in the name of an ideology that is supposed to be based on equality. They don't adhere to the dictionary definition of Feminism. That doesn't mean they're not Feminists. It just means they're bad Feminists. I guess what I'm trying to say is that actions speak louder than words. At the time of the Crusades, Christianity wasn't a "peaceful religion based on the teachings of a pacifist savior," regardless of what the written definition claimed. It was a religion of fear, hate and genocide. The book didn't change. The people did.

  2177. +Gabriel Cowley Oh, I'm not saying to accept that it's the most prominent side. Nor am I suggesting launching an assault on extremism. That, in itself, would be extreme. Merely a change in dialogue. For example, rather than just "Feminism isn't about women's superiority" one would say "Feminism isn't about women's superiority, regardless of what [insert extremist] would like you to believe." A simple change but an effective one. Enough of these small clarifications and the extremists will do what they always do: form a new group where they can claim to be right about everything and be supported by their extremist pals. They'll still be lunatics but at least they won't be setting the movement back any more. What's more, they'll draw the fire from the "antis" who currently attack Feminism primarily because of the extremists. The very existence of MRAs proves that the crazies are having a lasting, negative effect. The discussion hasn't really been about equality for quite some time. It's not that people like you and I don't want to talk about equality. It's that the conversation immediately gets dominated by both "Feminists" and "MRAs" who want to shout about how evil the other is. The peaceful are never well served by allowing the violent to speak for them.

  2186. You're complaining about this as though it's not commonplace in every war since the dawn of time. You say things like "We've gotten to the point" when we've always been at that point. At times of war the people cheer for their side's killer(s). This is even more prominent in less advanced societies where superstitions are more embedded in the culture. Face it, complaining about the use of propaganda and figure heads in times of war is like complaining about the use of guns and bombs. It's pointless. Does it suck? Yup. Is it going to change? Nope. War brings out the worst in people. You can't change that.

  2188. Chad Ross Unfortunately, in this case the State had to step in because one of the cities (I forget which) had overstepped and passed a law on the issue. It escalated and got taken to the State level. It never should have been a local, State OR Federal issue. We all know societal norms are that gender is based on sex. We shouldn't have to put pictures of penises and vaginas on the doors to let sane adults with critical thinking skills know which bathroom to use. A bathroom is a place where you excrete waste from whichever body part you possess. The thing the advocates can't seem to wrap their minds around is if it were about your sexuality, we would already have lesbians in the "men's" room and gay men in the "women's" room. We didn't do that because it's not about that. Tl;dr: I agree!

If there was violence, surely there was at least an INTENDED victim, right? Otherwise it seems like you want to change the definition of violence to include "carrying a firearm," in which case, millions of people in more than 40 states need to be charged with violent crimes, merely for possessing a gun. Please, point out the violence to me (and I mean the actual violence not the kind you made up in your head).

  2193. +Mike Jordan It's adorable that you think most of these guys don't carry every day, everywhere they go. I guess you think every time they go to the grocery store wearing their gun, they're actually planning a hostile takeover. Most of the guns I've seen in the videos are handguns. The few rifles I've seen were most likely already in their trucks (that's how they roll in the sticks). You act like it's some big conspiracy that they have guns when in reality, they'd have them even if they were going out to dinner. Sorry to burst your bubble but carrying a gun is not, in itself, indicative of an underlying plot. To clarify, I'm in no way saying that there wasn't intent for some of them but to throw everyone under the bus - who happened to be carrying when someone suggested going to the reserve - is complete BS and anyone who lives in the real world knows it. If you want to go after Bundy and a handful of others for intent, that's fine but it simply does not apply to everyone (or even the majority) who are there.

  2200. Tia Williams An average of 500,000 crimes are stopped every year by armed citizens. The vast majority do not end in the death of anyone. I'd say that's probably what the "average" armed citizen is going to do (since it's what they currently do). I don't think most people realize just how many guns they are around every day without incident. Part of that "better training" you mentioned that the police has is that a lot of them are trained to perceive threats sooner. They are constantly on alert that they may be in a lethal situation, so they are trained that it's better to be wrong and alive than wrong and dead. That being said, I have every respect for those who put it on the line for the rest of us. Just saying, their training is not in the fine art of "duck and run." They are there to confront the situation by whatever means are necessary. That's an entirely different role and mindset from those who carry to defend themselves. The majority carry for the sake of having a gun if they ever need it. That has actually worked out quite well thus far. It's incredibly rare that you hear about a concealed carry permit holder mixed up in a wrongful shooting. In fact, you don't often hear about permit holders at all. they're not out there, guns blazing, being masked vigilantes. They're just people who happen to carry. I do believe in mandatory training, though. Not just for those who want to carry a gun but for everyone with the right to do so. It's way too important of a topic for so many to be so misinformed about the capabilities and safe handling practices of firearms. Mandatory training would go a long way in not only moving the conversation forward but also in reducing the already relatively low rate of accidental shootings. Not to mention, it would help take the glamour away that Hollywood has put on guns and return them to their rightful place; as a specific tool with a specific purpose. We teach safe sex and safe driving as a matter of principle. Now we just need to convince people it's better that their teens actually know about gun safety than to just tell them "Don't touch! That's bad!" and hope for the best. That's my compromise. I'll agree to stricter training as long as it's for everyone to whom the second amendment applies.

A side note for anyone who wants to blame the gun: Guys like this will do things like this with whatever they have available.

  2213. The second amendment to the Constitution exists to protect us from a tyrannical government. If Hillary Clinton tries to abolish the second amendment, she is taking the first major step towards that tyranny. MANY 2A supporters have said that it would be the last straw. That our right to dissolve and rebuild our government (as outlined in the Declaration of Independence) would be exercised at that point. Predicting that people would do exactly what they said they would do is not a death threat. If I said "This white guy is going to walk down the street shouting 'white power!' and nobody can do anything about it. Well, maybe the Black Panthers will do something but that will be a sad day" is that a death threat? No. It's a statement of the obvious outcome. Well, obvious to anyone who isn't trying to twist things to fit their agenda, anyway.

  2214. +darkenergylambda No. She said she would do everything in her power to overturn the Supreme Court's ruling - that the 2A applies to self defense. She's also said that she wants to do away with handguns and semiautomatic rifles. She's also said that she's fine with guns for hunting but nothing more. You're defending her, so why does it seem like I've seen more of her speeches? Secondly, I don't drink. Sorry. As for your sad interpretation of the second amendment, your ignorance to the types of firearms available at that time and your lack of understanding of the terms "well regulated" and "militia," I would invite you to take your history lessons from historians, not morning talk show hosts. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. But thanks for playing.
    1
  2215. +DAK4Blizzard Let me see if I understand your argument. You're saying that the second amendment isn't to secure our ability to defend ourselves against tyranny.....because other Countries have strict gun laws and democracy? That doesn't make any sense. You might want to try again because your comment reads less like a coherent thought and more like you accidentally regurgitated two separate things you've read before at the same time. Maybe start with explaining your first position: If the second amendment isn't what I claim it is, then what is it? Then maybe you can move on to explaining why you think other Countries' laws have any bearing on the reason our Constitutional Rights exist.
    1
  2216. +DAK4Blizzard Oh really? Please quote the part that says anything about hunting or even securing property for that matter. Last I checked there's nothing in there about either. Now, the Supreme Court has said that our Right to keep and bear arms is ALSO (meaning additionally to the original intent specified) for the sake of self defense and defense of property but even THEY have made no mention of hunting that I've ever seen. Where are you getting this ridiculous information from?
    1
  2217. +DAK4Blizzard And there you have it. That would be the inherent flaw in your argument. You seem to think that your observational opinion has some bearing on the legal ramifications of our Constitution. Trust me, it doesn't. You and your opinions are in no way important to our founding documents. A couple of things for you to do some research on to help you better understand the Country you live in: A) The Constitution B) The Declaration of Independence C) The Federalist Papers These are a good place to start. And remember, your opinion is not legal doctrine. P.S. The United States is not a Democracy. It's a Constitutional Republic with some key democratic features. I understand that you don't like history but refusing to understand it for the sake of lying to yourself about the Country you live in is just sad.

  2218. +DAK4Blizzard SCOTUS can't repeal an amendment. This is exactly what I'm talking about. You don't know the first thing about our government, our founding documents or how the system works. I'm not going to be your history and law professor. If you have ground to stand on, do so. So far I've had nothing to defend against because you haven't said anything remotely accurate to refute my original claims. Please, either present something more substantial than "I've never seen an armed rebellion and other Countries have gun laws, so the second amendment is for hunting" or find someone else's leg to hump. I'll help you. You need to show how "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the Right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" means "Guns are for hunting and home security." I don't even need to cite the Federalist Papers to show that you're wrong. A basic grasp of the English language is really all that's needed.
    1
  2219. +DAK4Blizzard You still haven't said anything that counters my claims. Why would I bother digging through anything to refute...nothing?
    1
  2220. +DAK4Blizzard Win your point? You never made any points about the security of a free State. You said we don't use militias to defend the Country any more. There's a big difference between defending the Country as a whole and defending a State. Tell me, in the event of a tyrannical government taking power (and givennour two options, it's hardly far fetched), which branch(es) of the military would be designated for the government and which would be set aside to protect us from said government? Oh, that's right. There isn't a clause for that when you enlist. When you serve in the military, the President is your commander in chief. We're on the cusp of having either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in charge of the most powerful military in the world...and you don't think we still need to be able to defend ourselves from tyranny? Ha! You're a funny one, I'll give you that.
    1
  2221. +DAK4Blizzard Yes, because historically, the bigger army always wins, right? I mean, that's why we're still a British colony after all. It's also why we so easily dispatched the Vietnamese and the North Koreans in those wars, right? Wait, no. We didn't. So let's try to tidy this up because now you're just trying to spread it in every direction possible. Your claim is that the second amendment - which specifically lists militias as the primary reason for our Right to bear arms and outlines no other reason whatsoever - is not for the sake of being able to form militias. You claim that it has somehow transformed into meaning that we get to have guns for home defense and hunting and that it no longer applies to militias because you feel we don't need them any more. That's a pretty bold claim but I'll make it really easy for you. Just provide a link to the documents that changed the meaning of the second amendment to exclude militias and to include hunting (I've already seen the Heller transcripts, so I don't need you to show that they add self/home defense to the definition). It's that easy. My claim is that the second amendment applies to militias and self/home defense. I've now cited my sources, which are the second amendment itself and the SCOTUS' Heller decision. Your "every day observations" don't trump written law. So, all you need is two sources. One for the addition of hunting to, and one for the exclusion of militias from the definition of the second amendment. It's really that simple. Please don't respond without your sources. You don't actually have an argument without them. Your opinion as to whether militias are necessary is irrelevant. My opinion as to whether militias are necessary is irrelevant. We're talking about the legal definition of the second amendment to the Constitution. So, no more redirects. No more rhetoric. Just facts. PROVE that I'm wrong or walk away.
    1
  2222. +DAK4Blizzard So you're saying that you can't provide any evidence to support your claim that the second amendment is NOT for the sake of militias and that it IS for hunting.....so you're going to attempt to redirect. Again. Sorry but no dice. Provide sources to back up your claims. It should be easy. Why are you dodging? Is the second amendment for hunting or not? If so, show documentation. Has the second amendment been changed to exclude militias or not? If so, show documentation. I'll be happy to pick apart the rest of your nonsense as soon as you back up the cornerstone to your entire argument. If you can't then you don't have an argument to pick apart.

When she publicly stated, in plain words, that she wanted to ban handguns and semiautomatic rifles completely? That kind of "extreme few?" It seems that the word "few" isn't very comforting when one of them is running for President. She doesn't support reasonable regulations. She supports confiscations and bans. She said so herself. How is it that so few people have actually watched her speeches? I'm not a Democrat (or a Republican) but I still made sure to research the candidates.

But at least both sides have scared plenty of people into thinking they should only ever vote Blue or Red, right? You did this to yourselves. Deal with it.
    1
  2230. PwnyGOD Actually, I wasn't referring to that and it's the first I'm seeing of it. That was about some interview. I'm talking about a speech I watched her give after one of the mass shootings. If I find it, I'll post a link but I assure you, I have no interest in the NRA or their shtick. As for her policies, they're pretty clear. She wants the Heller decision reversed. She's made no bones about that. The Heller decision determined that the second amendment was not simply protecting a State's Right to a militia but also the individual Right to keep and bear arms for home/self defense. Now, if that decision is reversed, then suddenly, we no longer have a Right to defend ourselves with firearms. If that's the case, then we have no "need" for anything other than hunting rifles and shotguns (nobody hunts with a handgun). She has been sure to say on many occasions that she has no problem with guns...for hunting. So, even if I can't find the video of the speech, it's not exactly necessary. She doesn't want to reverse Heller because she thinks we should be able to have the types of guns people carry for self defense. Can you really justify her desire to take away our Right to defend ourselves with a firearm as "common sense" gun control? That goes way beyond background checks and registration.

  2231. Because stories about people who DON'T support family values getting caught cheating aren't shocking (for some reason). I think the most important thing to remember in these stories is that the rest of us are perfect and have never said or done anything that goes against our core beliefs. Also that those beliefs would somehow be automatically nullified if we ever did. It is funny to me that she says right at the beginning that if it were two democrats, they wouldn't have anything to say.... as though it's somehow less heinous for a democrat to have an affair than a republican. That's actually more sad to me than the story itself. Cheating is cheating no matter who is doing it.

  2237. This only requires a simple vetting process that doesn't have to deny anyone of a particular religion. Only of particular extremes.

Question 2: Are you willing to abide by and be held accountable to the laws of the United States, even when they conflict with Sharia Law? Question 3: What do you feel is the proper punishment for women who dress themselves in skirts and low cut shirts? Question 4: When the conflict is over, are you willing to return home to Syria and - if you so choose - go through the proper channels to become a legal citizen of the United States? Question 5: Are you willing to stay in the disaster relief camps that we built for our own citizens to use in the event their homes are destroyed? Seems like a pretty easy process to me.

  2239. +manzilla48 Anyone with access to a hardware store and a Walmart has access to the tools to kill many people. Explosives aren't rocket science and neither are slam-fire guns. A combination of the two can easily dispatch lots of people. Shall we outlaw fertilizer, cleaning supplies, plumbing pipes, etc. too?
    1
  2240. +manzilla48 I didn't say guns aren't easier, I said mass killing isn't hard without them. The reason we have more mass killings is because we have more twisted bastards with an inclination to kill lots of people. Not exactly the kind of folks I'm looking to disarm myself around. Now, if you really want to get into all of the talking points on why we have so many mass killings, we can but honestly, it mostly boils down to this: Our society is screwed up. If it were the guns themselves, how then did my grandfather (and many others of his generation) go to school every day with a shotgun and/or rifle hanging in his back window, leave his truck unlocked (giving anyone who walked by access to it) and never once end up in the middle of a school shooting? The fact is that guns used to be everywhere in the US - more so than today. You could buy one over the counter in most stores. Any teenager could go in, buy as many guns as they could afford, buy the ammo to match and walk down the street with their purchases...yet school shootings were unheard of. Tell me how, exactly does that mesh with this new age "guns are bad and solely responsible for the uptick in shootings" philosophy that has become trendy? I've got news for you: Guns aren't bad. Violent criminals are bad. Family members and teachers who ignore obvious signs of mental instability in children are bad. Parents who allow untrained children access to weapons are bad. I'm really glad the band-aid approach worked for the UK however, we're not ready to give up and allow our government to treat us all like potential criminals. As for Paris, I had no idea that fully automatic AK47s were legal there. They're not even legal here for most people and we're the "gun nuts." Or were you saying that they aren't legal and the terrorists still managed to easily get their hands on them (which kind of goes against your position that gun bans work to deter mass killings)?
    1
  2241. El Jefe And that's fine, though honestly, it's not that big of a deal here. Beyond culture, there are various reasons one might not make eye contact, including simple shyness. I know lots of people who don't make eye contact with people very often and it has never caused an issue beyond a simple "Are you okay?" from the other person. That's the minor stuff that doesn't tend to matter in such a diverse Country.
    1
  2242. El Jefe If they're offensive enough, they'll be charged with a crime. It really depends on the situation. If we're talking about violence or sexual assault (or worse,) then that's a crime and falls under the "obey all laws" part of the discussion anyway. If he's merely talking down to women or acting in a way where he presents himself as superior, he'll likely just end up sad and alone, talking about how terrible women are. It's not like the US is some horrible place where anyone who steps out of line is beaten to a pulp. Again, we're getting into things that aren't really about integration at that point. Here's the thing; anyone immigrating to another Country does so with the understanding that they know what that Country is like and wants to be there. If someone (to use the current example) truly believes that women are second class citizens and should be treated as such, they're out of their mind to move to a Country where it is illegal to do so. That's their own fault for moving there and they should take responsibility for their actions. To go another way with it, I value my right to own a firearm. I would be crazy to move to a Country where they are banned. If I did and then bought a gun illegally, that's my fault and I deserve the prison sentence.
    1
  2243. Vivim I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that minorities in the US were treating you badly? That does happen a lot here but they don't consider it racist since whites are the majority in the US (and yes, I'm aware that racism is merely the act of feeling your own race is superior to another but people here seem to think it only counts if you're the majority). I am curious where you visited, though. Saying that you've been to the US doesn't really mean much. You'll run into drastically different types of people from one borough of New York City to the next, let alone travelling to different States. As I mentioned previously, there are a LOT of people here with a wide cross section of different cultures. You can't even make generalizations about "white people" here because they come from so many different backgrounds and then they're influenced, again, by where they live. An Irish guy from Boston and an Irish guy from Sacramento are likely to have very little in common. I'm sorry to hear that you were treated badly but what did you expect? You're white. White people are not well liked in the US right now. Even white people are busy blaming white people for everything.

  2247. They are protesters. Just like the Black Panthers who armed themselves with semiautomatic rifles and marched through a city calling for the deaths of police officers...which is why they didn't get shot either. Believe it or not, the inclusion of firearms does not directly equate violence and the inclusion of white people doesn't equate racist. Sorry.

  2248. +Mayheamk K They didn't take over the Federal government. What are you talking about?

  2249. +Mayheamk K Well, yes. It does SOUND a lot more impressive if you say "armed militia takes over federal building" instead of "protesters occupy an empty building in the middle of nowhere - some of them carrying guns" but really, the second description paints a more accurate picture. A bunch of people went to a protest. After the protest, some of them decided to take it further. They went to a wildlife reserve, went into the unoccupied building on the reserve and didn't leave. It's not terrorism. It's not a heinous act. At absolute most it's trespassing unless something else happens before it's over. I don't see why people feel the need to make any more of this than it is.
    1
  2250. +Mayheamk K Actually, I'm not at all anti-government. I just don't buy into the Orwellian ideology that anyone who stands up and says no to the government is somehow the worst possible being on earth. It's called activism and we have a longstanding history of it here. You've already tipped your hand. You aren't mad because of what they're doing. You're mad because they're white and nobody has shot them yet. Now you want to act like it's a huge deal when they're not actually hurting anyone. I'm sorry you haven't gotten your fill of activist murder for the week. I may not agree with their message and I may not choose their methods but I'm not going to throw a tantrum because yet another activist group is boycotting something. I believe in free speech. I believe in the right to assemble. I believe in the right to petition. I believe in the right to keep and bear arms. What do you believe in?
    1
  2251. +Mayheamk K So, last year when a group of Black Panthers marched through a city calling for the deaths of police officers, while fully armed...that wasn't okay either? Or was it okay because they didn't occupy an empty building in the middle of nowhere? Don't let semantics and rhetoric get in the way of the obvious. A group protest is fine by me - regardless of its message. The court system is only one of the ways we change things in this Country. You can't tell me that the equal rights movement would have been successful in the courts if it hadn't been for the crowds of activists who took to the streets. As for your claim on guns, it's funny how the guns have been here the whole time, yet everyone wants to blame the guns for the uptick in violence. The guns haven't changed that much in the past 100 years. In fact, one of the most popular handguns today has been around since 1911, the AK has been around since the 50s and the AR has been around since the 80s....yet the mass shootings only started gaining popularity in the late 90s (DURING the assault weapons ban, when nobody could even buy an AR or AK). I don't think the guns have become more malicious, I think the people have. I think I'd rather do away with this recent trend of violence than do away with the means I use to protect my family from it.

  2252. There is a line. It's called freedom of expression. It is a Right that goes hand-in-hand with free speech. It's the most liberally supported Right in the US. You either support someone's Right to express themselves or you don't. If we meter people's Rights based on people being offended by them, then I feel your position on this is offensive (Hannah). Therefore, you're not allowed to express that opinion publicly any more. Nowhere in the Constitution or in any Supreme Court ruling does it state that your Rights have to be exercised in a manner that is deemed tasteful by the masses. The only caveats are made for the sake of public safety.

  2254. +BoringMan It's a show about the lives of some of the cast members of the original. That's called a spinoff. Joey didn't have the same theme song as friends. Angel didn't have the same theme song as Buffy. Why would Fuller House have the same theme song as Full House? In fact, if it's merely a continuation of Full House, why did they change the name? Last I checked, they don't change the name of a show when it gets picked up by a different network after being canceled, no matter how long it has been out of production. The Simpsons is still The Simpsons, Saturday Night Live is still Saturday Night Live and Fuller House is still a spinoff.

  2256. I call BS. Everyone knows Paris has strong gun control laws, so it's impossible for petty criminals to get their hands on them...
    1
  2257. +Jesus Christ I live in California and know all about the laws you're speaking about. Due to the fact that I wanted to keep my standard magazine release, I had to remove the pistol grip, folding stock and flash suppressor from my AK-47. You know what's amazing about that? My rifle still fires the same ammo at the same speed with the same amount of damage! They made me change the way my gun LOOKS and it hasn't changed ANYTHING about its lethality! What's even more ridiculous is that people like you see my AK and think "DANGER!" Meanwhile, I can pull out my 30-06 and because it's a long barrel and has a walnut stock, you just think of it as a hunting gun....unless, of course, I attach the bipod. Then it magically turns into a "sniper rifle." It's sad to see such ignorance in a time when all of this information is literally at your fingertips.
    1
  2258. +Jesus Christ Yeah, that's great except for the fact that: A) there are already a ton of extended magazines in California B) mag changes don't take that long C) you can legally buy rebuild kits and cases for magazines over 10 rounds in California - allowing anyone who wants them here to build them You folks still don't seem to get the fact that criminals don't care about the law. All this ridiculous law has done is made it so that I, as a responsible gun owner had to make cosmetic changes to my rifle and plug up the bottom of my magazines - all to give you the illusion that you're safer. Meanwhile, any criminal with an AK is NOT going to modify a damn thing. The only thing that is going to happen because of this law is the next time someone uses a sporting rifle in a violent crime and the cops take him out, they'll be able to say they could have charged him with 5 felonies instead of three (which is total crap, since they always drop the lesser charges and then plea bargain the major one). If you really want to see a difference, start a petition to get the DAs and judges in this country to stop being so soft on violent criminals.
    1
  2259. +Jesus Christ Yes, of course. You would be the type to compare magazine restrictions to child rape and claim that less laws is the same as lawlessness. It's clear that conversation is over because you have just proven to be completely unreasonable. I will respond to your other claim though. You think I get the same enjoyment from my rifle, now that I've had to heavily modify it and reduce the magazine capacity? You're wrong. The whole point to pistol grips and collapsible stocks is to make the gun more comfortable to shoot. I chose an AK for a sporting rifle specifically because I prefer the feel of it over my "hunting" rifle. However, when push came to shove, I was forced to choose between comfort or the ability to quickly reload. Since I know for a fact that this law hasn't gotten higher capacity magazines out of the hands of criminals, I was forced to choose faster reload. All because people like you are under the misconception that by passing this law, you've magically made all of the criminals who already have them walk into the police stations and turn over their mags. While the pro-restriction crowd is busy celebrating their "victory," the criminals are laughing their asses off. The ONLY people who have been adversely affected by this law are responsible gun owners. Thanks a lot.
    1
  2260. +Charles Eye P.S. A pistol grip has nothing to do with "sniping" people and higher capacity magazines aren't restricted to use in movie theaters....but I wouldn't expect you to know that since, like so many others, you clearly know very little about the firearms that you want to restrict.
    1
  2261. +Jesus Christ Now you're comparing larger magazines to bombs... Yeah, we're done. I can't reason with anyone who compares extra bullets in my rifle to child rape and explosive ordinance.
    1
  2262. +Jesus Christ Where did I admit my argument was flawed? I think you need to up your meds. Let's get back on topic, shall we? Can you show even one instance where the use of a pistol grip, adjustable stock or flash suppressor allowed someone to kill a group of people more effectively? Do you realize that Sandy Hook was carried out using two pistols and that the rifle was later discovered in the trunk of his car (ask CNN)? By your logic, he couldn't have done what he did effectively because he was just using pistols and not his "evil" AR. After all, there were no tactical modifications on his pistols. Do you really think he would have killed more people if his pistols had been equipped with folding stocks and flash suppressors? Are you even aware that the majority of gun crimes and fun deaths in the US are perpetrated using pistols, not rifles (even though rifles are easier to obtain through legal channels)? You sound just like the politicians who pushed for this law: "DAT LUKZ SCAREY! IT WUZ ON DA NEWZ A CUPPLE TIMEZ! MAEK IT GO AWAY!!! GOST GUNZ SHUTE 30 MAGUHZEEN CLIP AROUND THINGIEZ PER SEKUND! ITZ CUZ IT LUKS SCAREYER DAN UTHER GUZ!!! Seriously though, do some research. Look at the actual statistics. The stock, grip and muzzle aren't what makes a gun dangerous. The bullet, the firing pin and the person pulling the trigger are. But please, feel free to provide the source links that prove the grip, stock and/or flash suppressor make a gun more lethal. Just be sure they're LEGITIMATE sources (DOJ, FBI, independent NEUTRAL groups who show their source, etc are acceptable. Anti-gun sites need not apply). Otherwise you're just wasting keystrokes.
    1
  2263. +Jesus Christ And again, what proof do you have that banning a folding/collapsible stock and pistol grip has any affect on the lethality of a firearm? Or that making a person choose between them and a quick change magazine makes any sense at all? Or whether anyone has ever been stopped from killing people because they had to change magazines? You do a lot of grandstanding, yet you fail to answer the simple questions that are presented to you. My rifle no longer has your "evil features" on it. Because of this, it still has the stock mag release. If I want to carry as many bullets as I did before, I can. If I want to fire off rounds until my rifle burns up, I can. A mag change takes roughly 1.5 seconds. Not nearly enough time for someone to realize you stopped shooting due to reloading (rather than just pausing to look for targets), asses the shot, come out from behind cover and fire an accurate round. By the way, since you seem to have a hard time with this, I'll explain. There is a big difference between just laws and unjust laws. Our country is built on just laws that are designed specifically for the protection of the people. UNjust laws are laws that take away the rights of the people without good cause. A law that says I can't make my rifle LOOK a certain way because people who have little to no experience with firearms think it makes my rifle scarier, even though such features have NOTHING to do with the lethality of the round, is an unjust law. NOBODY will EVER be saved from a gunshot due to the gun not having an adjustable stock. It's a fantasy created in the minds of the same people who genuinely think they can just say "Guns are illegal now" and they'll magically disappear from the hands of criminals. Nice strawman arguments though. Let's see, so far you've said that unreasonable restrictions=anti-rape laws, extended magazines=baby rape, pistol grips and folding stocks=increased lethality and standing up for your rights=desiring anarchy. How can anyone think these are reasonable restrictions when they're championed by such unreasonable people? Now, if you're not going to back up your claims, we should both just go ahead and move on. All you are doing is trying to spread your wild philosophies about "deadly" stocks and "killer" pistol grips without any factual information to back you up. Maybe it's time to visit your local gun range and become educated about firearms before you claim to know what's right for responsible, law abiding citizens.
    1
  2264. +Jesus Christ It's too bad that words aren't just interchangeable things with no meaning. Otherwise you might have a good point.
    1
  2265. +Jesus Christ Because inserting random words in place of others is merely a cheap tactic to try and undermine someone's argument when you don't have anything to back up your claims. It's as asinine as someone saying "If you're against the death penalty then you're pro-life and that means you're anti-abortion." You see, that's something I wouldn't say because it's a ridiculous, self serving rant that has nothing to do with the conversation and doesn't make any sense. Much like all of the comparisons you've made thus far. We're not talking about rape, child molestation or anything else you keep running off about. We are talking about gun laws that in no way affect a criminal's ability to do harm to people with guns. Something you still have yet to address properly. Is my gun less comfortable to use now? Yes. Is it less lethal? No. Are you trying to claim that a less comfortable gun will keep a criminal from using it effectively, even though most criminals' weapon of choice is a handgun (far less comfortable or accurate than a rifle)? You seem to be. Try again but first, maybe go look up the stats on gun crime in the US. Mainly the number of crimes committed using pistols vs rifles. Maybe then you'll realize that while this law has affected most of the responsible rifle owners in California, it has only affected a small percent of criminals (and by affected, I mean it's just one more charge that will get plea bargained away when they get to court. Most DAs drop the smaller charges and focus on the primary offence - meaning that virtually no violent criminal will be convicted of having a pistol grip without a bullet button). Way to go!
    1
  2266. +Jesus Christ As a sweeping generalization of all laws, of course it's ridiculous. I am not an Anarchist. I have no desire to overthrow the government or drive down the road at a hundred miles/hour with my hair on fire. However, that doesn't mean that every law that gets passed makes sense or is the least bit affective. Making a gun accessory illegal that is purely for comfort is one of those laws. To use a silly comparison in a legitimate way, it would be like saying that a guy who was running a child prostitution ring enjoyed wearing loafers, so loafers are now illegal and anyone caught wearing loafers will be suspected of child molestation. So now, regular people who wear loafers are having to throw away shoes they've enjoyed for years and the majority of child molesters are still running around in sneakers. And before you say it, no. I'm not saying that child molestation is equivalent to gun violence or that shoes are equivalent to pistol grips. I'm merely using a simile so that people who have never handled a gun will understand what role these accessories actually play in the crime (most people wear shoes and understand that how a person accessorizes has nothing to do with whether they're a criminal).
    1
  2267. +Charles Eye P.S. I'm talking about the stock and pistol grip. I don't know how you circled back around to the flash suppressor because I stopped talking about that a while ago.
    1
  2268. +Jesus Christ Okay, all you're doing now is ducking so you can let the point go over your head. It's clear we're getting nowhere. You feel safer because of this law and that's all that really matters. The general population has an overwhelming need to feel safer...whether they actually are or not. Enjoy your warm, fuzzy feelings...just don't forget to keep locking your doors at night. Goodbye.

  2269. +Jesus Christ Yeah, because those kids wouldn't have been shot if the shooter had used 10 round mags instead...

  2273. +Jesus Christ I'm being agreeable in hopes that it will get you to stop beating a dead horse. You think you're right. I think I'm right. You claiming that something as complex as a school shooting can be simplified into a math problem is naive at best and offensive at worst. I'm done arguing against such ridiculous claims. So again: Yup.

  2274. I'll laugh my ass off if this leads to the Secret Service recommending the Trumps move into the White House early to make protecting them easier. Not into the Presidential Wing or anything but it would still be some serious salt for the open wound.

  2275. +tetapunui Military killing machines? Really? I love it when people who know nothing about a topic insist on speaking with self-proclaimed authority on said topic. This mindset would be adorable if it wasn't so toxic. Come back when you can tell me the difference in lethality between an AR15, a Ruger Ranch Rifle and a Mossberg 500. The truth might just shock you.
    1
  2276. +Elite 1984 A) I never commented about military vs civilian guns. In fact, I didn't even list any military guns B) I never said anything about knowing the difference between ARs, bolt guns and shotguns. I spoke of the lethality of the three I listed. Furthermore, I didn't list any "bolt guns." A Ruger Ranch Rifle is semiautomatic. C) You're wrong. When making claims about which guns to ban and which ones to keep, a working knowledge of firearms is extremely important. Otherwise you just come off as some kind of an idiot who wants to ban things based on looks instead of capabilities. Especially if you want to ban a type of rifle that is neither more lethal, nor more used for crime than another.
    1
  2277. +Elite 1984 Now you're simply putting words in my mouth. I never said anything about whether he was allowed to have an opinion about violence. I called him out on his BS statement about "military killing machines you can buy from a gun show stall in America." It's a false statement unless he's talking about current military grade handguns or antique surplus rifles, which are the only kinds of military weapons we can buy. Given the fact that nobody has ever mentioned having a problem with 1911s, Sig Sauers, etc or Mosin Nagants, SKSs, etc, I have to assume that he's one of the masses of uninformed media slaves who thinks guns like the AR15 are military firearms. They're wrong. The military has never and will never issue AR15s to any of their service men or women. Furthermore, civilians do not have access to the M4s, M16s, etc that the military uses.
    1
  2278. +Elite 1984 And the fact that you imply that without select fire an AR15 is anything more than a neutered rifle, not fit for anything more than personal defense (since it fires a sub-par round for effectively taking any large game consistently) is just as laughable. It's just a home defense rifle and people are losing their minds over it. My .308, 30-30 and 12 gauge are devastating firearms. My .223 is an afternoon of fun at the range and an effective way to stop a threat without too much over penetration. It's no more effective in a mass shooting scenario than a pistol carbine or even a couple of handguns. That's just a fact. Now, for the last time, I don't give a damn about his political views or his ability to voice them. I never questioned his political views or mentioned them in any way. I called him out on a BS statement because I can't stand people who talk about things they don't understand. To clarify, that would be the guns themselves. Not the violence. Not the politics. The guns. I can't possibly make myself any clearer on this point so if you still don't get it, that's your problem.
    1
  2279. +Elite 1984 Are you friggin kidding me? How are you not getting this yet? HIS VIEWS ABOUT THE GUNS THEMSELVES ARE TOXIC! THE FACT THAT SO MANY IDIOTS KEEP IMPLYING THAT THESE CIVILIAN RIFLES ARE SOMEHOW MORE DEADLY THAN OTHER CIVILIAN RIFLES IS TOXIC! THE IDIOCY SURROUNDING THE IDEA THAT GETTING RID OF CERTAIN RIFLES BASED ON COSMETICS WILL SOMEHOW SOLVE ANYTHING IS TOXIC! How is this not obvious to you? You seem otherwise intelligent, yet you keep letting my point go right over your head.
    1
  2280. +Elite 1984 Whatever you need to tell yourself to feel justified in your little tirade. There are these really cool things in the English language called inference and implication. You might want to study up on them. Knowing what they are and learning to recognize them is the difference between understanding what someone is saying beyond their written/spoken words and having to take everything at face value. I'm just kidding. I'm quite sure that you know full well what the underlying implications of his statement are and you're just looking for an excuse to give me a hard time. You found a tiny bone to pick and gave it your best shot. In other words, you're no better than I. Way to raise the bar...
    1
  2281. +Elite 1984 There's no back pedalling to it. I do know what I said. I do know what I meant. I explained clearly what I meant, repeatedly. You're the one who is still having a hard time understanding. You tried to claim I was attempting to nullify his general opinions by countering a specific absurdity he made about firearms availability in the US. You ignore the fact that I haven't made a single claim against anything else he said. You don't like the fact that your argument makes no sense, so you're (yet again) trying to claim that I meant something other than what I said and meant. I'm sorry if everyone who has knowledge about firearms doesn't fit nicely into your little narrative but that's life, bud. But please, feel free to continue to misinterpret my clearly written statements. It is your right to be as ignorant as you want to be. Some children find it helpful to put their fingers in their ears and sing "LALALALALA" to avoid hearing things they don't like. This obviously won't work for a text based conversation but I suppose you could just close your eyes really tight and stomp your feet. That will sure show me.
    1
  2282. +Elite 1984 You could have saved yourself a lot of keystrokes by just saying "Nuh uh, that's you!" Using more words doesn't make it a better argument. You're wrong. Deal with it and move on. You're not helping yourself by continuing to argue because you're still arguing against a position I never took. Rather than accepting that and moving on, you feel the need to try to convince me that I meant something that I didn't. This tactic is never going to work. If you're not going to leave it alone, you could at least try to argue against my actual statement. Otherwise you really are just arguing against your own misperceptions. A person's positions and statements don't change just because you want them to. You're not nearly that important. Now, do you have anything to say that doesn't involve you claiming you know my motives better than I do?
    1
  2283. +Elite 1984 So....you DON'T have anything to say other than to try to argue against statements I never made. Fine. Every comment I've made is still here. If I said something having to do with something other than his statement about the guns themselves, feel free to point it out. If not, you don't have an argument. It's really that simple. No more vague claims or double speak. Quote me. Post exactly what I said that speaks to anything other than his ignorance of firearms or firearms ignorance at large. Just think, if you can do so then you "win" or whatever.
    1
  2284. +Elite 1984 To the first part: How is it so hard for you to realize that I wasn't "trying" to disregard the rest of his statement? I didn't comment on anything else he said because I don't take issue with anything else he said. Is that really so hard for you to wrap your head around? Are you really so polarized that you can't possibly comprehend that there are people in the world who aren't definitively "Left" or "Right" on every, single sentence spoken in this world? To the second part: You're cherry-picking and you know it. Troll harder. Now, if you don't have a point of your own to make, I don't see how this conversation has anywhere to go. The really funny part is that you obviously have way more interest in discrediting me than he does and he's the one I called out. Are you his mother or something? I've got news for you lady; if you don't want your kid getting picked on, you shouldn't let him play on the Internet...or anywhere public.
    1
  2285. +Elite 1984 This isn't a disagreement. I made a statement. You completely misunderstood that statement. You've been humping my leg about it ever since. It's really that simple. Make all of the claims in the world and it doesn't change. But please, keep wasting your time trying to prove your point. The sheer number of keystrokes you've wasted at this point makes the whole thing hilarious at this point. Please, type up ten more paragraphs about how my statement about guns wasn't REALLY about guns. Tell me more about my political views because clearly you know me better than anyone on earth, including myself. In fact, I'll bet you could even tell me who I'm voting for in the next election, since you're such an expert on all that is Charles. Come on, let's see your next novel. I'll bet it'll be just as funny as all the rest.
    1
  2286. +Elite 1984 Come on, can't you do better than that? You essentially just repeated your previous drivel. Are you getting tired or just out of new ways to say, "You may have said one thing but you really meant something completely different and I'm right because...um....reasons"? Come on, you can do it. Well, probably not, since you don't actually have an argument but it's not like you've let that stop you so far. Tell me more about the things I never said, hero.
    1
  2287. +Elite 1984 Except that I said A and openly admit to saying A. You claim I said B and have yet to provide any evidence of me saying B, so you resort to trying to claim that I meant B when I said A. I don't blame you. You're far from the first person to try to change the argument when they don't have any ground to stand on. Nor are you the first to resort to weak insults as a defense mechanism. It's okay, you don't have to keep trying. Everyone reading this knows you've got nothing.
    1
  2288. +Elite 1984 Holy cow. You really are simple, aren't you? Okay, one more time. Slowly. - I called him out on his ignorance of GUNS, not gun violence because I disagreed with his statement about GUNS. - FOR THE RECORD (again): I do not take issue with ANY other claim in his comment. How many times have I reiterated this? I AGREE with every other statement in his comment. - His views on GUNS are toxic. I said it because it's true. It's the same garbage that every other unaware person is spewing about these rifles and it is false. It's a fear tactic used to make the general public fear these guns more by making people think they are capable of more than they are. I don't care what the topic of conversation is. When people attempt to perpetuate this misinformation, I'm GOING to call them on it. That's right, you've done absolutely nothing to stop me from doing so. - Your case is closed because you never had one. You came here looking for a fight so you did your best to twist my statement because when you tried to counter my initial and ACTUAL claim, I made quick work of you. You clearly don't like being wrong so you made up an argument about my intent because you can't technically lose an argument where neither side can provide a source link. All you have is your ability to claim I'm lying. That's it. Nothing more. The problem is that your claim that I'm lying is no more valid than my claim that I'm not and since your claim is the accusation, the burden of proof (not opinion, PROOF) lies with you. You didn't pick a winnable fight. You picked a stalemate at best. I would strongly recommend petitioning your school to start a debate team. You desperately need the practice. "Nuh uh, you meant something else" is a terrible argument no matter how many times and different ways you say it.

  2289. +Elite 1984 That is exactly the closing argument I expected.

  2303. Is it really that newsworthy for someone to tell the truth about her? She has all but said this herself. She doesn't agree with the Supreme Court's decision about Americans' Right to firearms for self defense. She doesn't believe in the necessity of the militia. In fact, all she has said that is positive about firearm ownership is that she believes in people's Right to hunt...which is not protected under the 2nd amendment in any way. Hilary Clinton does not believe in the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution. She has said outright that she will continue to challenge the SCOTUS decision pertaining to our Right to defend ourselves with firearms. She has said that she believes all handguns and semiautomatic rifles (you know, the guns that were designed for personal protection instead of hunting) should be banned. These are facts. As such, she can not legally swear an oath to defend and uphold the Constitution, so technically, she's not eligible to become the President.

  2304. Wait, let me word that properly for you: "The NRA is stopping the Federal Government from taking Rights away from thousands of people who the FBI has never even CHARGED with a crime, let alone got a conviction. Nobody currently on the terrorist watchlist has ever carried out an attack, yet a couple who wasn't on the list did." So, let me see if I can understand. You folks want to ban a specific type of rifle that is responsible for less than 1% of all gun crime in the US. Ban magazines that, again, are used in less than 1% of gun crime. And take Rights away from American citizens without due process, because someone at the FBI decided to put their name on a list. Yeah, that's insane. Please stop with the emotional, knee-jerk reactions. A quick question: Can anyone tell me what the process is for getting put on the watchlist? I'd love to know because the FBI sure is playing that one close to the vest. Do you have to be directly involved with terrorism? Do you have to be friends with someone who is involved with terrorism? Do you have to have spoken to someone who is involved with terrorism? What is the minimum requirement? By the way, if you honestly feel that the 20,000 people on the list are a real threat, WHY AREN'T YOU MAD THAT THE FBI IS ALLOWING 20,000 DANGEROUS PEOPLE TO WALK THE STREETS?! If they're that bad, why do they have access to the public? Why can they buy everything they need to build explosives and also be allowed access to schools, malls etc? You're mad that they have access to guns? If they're really terrorists then I'M mad that they have free access to my children's school!

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.

  2320. DeathBloodFunnyGuy Actually, all it would take to drastically reduce the number of people killed by cars, is for everyone who could use public transportation, to do so. As it stands, most people are far too privileged for that and would never dream of giving up their private morning commute for a bus or train ride. We've seen the numbers year after year. Cars kill more people than guns in the US and there are actually less cars on the road than guns in private ownership. The masses have decided that it's worth it - that all those deaths are acceptable losses - for the sake of private commutes and using the drive-thru. If five people are killed and ten are wounded by a tweaker with a truck, the response is "That bastard!" If the same number of people are killed and harmed by a tweaker with a handgun, it's "We need more gun control laws!" Why are the victims of vehicle collisions robbed of the public outcry? Because more people like cars than guns. Sad, isn't it? Hell, climate change is still a controversial topic (hysterically). Vehicle deaths are accepted as fact by all (kinda hard to tell a dead guy that he isn't). Yet somehow, climate change has done more to affect change in this area than vehicle deaths have. /rant

  2324. Actually, hammers kill more people than rifles, not guns overall. However, cars kill far more people than guns and there are quite a few more guns here than cars on the road. Not to mention the fact that cars have many more safety features and require licensing to use them. Considering that cars weren't even designed to kill, it seems they're far more lethal than guns. I think the "safety oriented" people in the US should start trying to ban cars. It would save far more lives than banning guns.

  2328. When has a minimum wage increase ever occurred without an increase in the cost of living? Why do people deserve more money than the amount they agreed to work for without doing more work than they agreed to do? What are minimum wage employees willing to do for their extra income? Is there a compromise to be reached or is it just "We want more money so give it to us!"? I see a whole lot of reasons why people want more money for doing the same amount of work they were doing yesterday but I don't see anyone explaining why employers should feel obligated to pay them more. Does it suck at the bottom? Of course. It's the bottom. The idea is to do your best to climb up from the bottom. Not to ask everyone else to give you carpet and air conditioning. Anyone clamoring for a higher minimum wage rather than more mid-tier jobs is doing it wrong. If you want more money, do something that's worth more. If you are genuinely trying to do so and there are no GOOD jobs available, THAT'S what you write to your representatives about. If the masses would stand up and say "We want to do better and be better and we can't do that until there are offices to fill and desks to sit behind!" it would come across a lot less lazy and "take care of poor us" than the current mantra of "Gimme gimme gimme! We still work at jobs that are supposed to be for high school students and retirees but we want to support a family without putting out any extra work or learning a new trade!" If you're really trying to settle for making a living wage at a McJob, I feel sorry for you. Somewhere along the line you gave up on yourself.

  2330. "This is a place where kids are..." So the kids aren't allowed on public streets in Texas? The "but the kids" argument is null and void in an area where people carry openly in public. The kids are already around the guns all of the time. Thinking about it, it pretty much nullifies the whole discussion. What is the point in restricting openly carrying firearms in a place where A) Those who open carry can legally carry concealed and B) People walk around with guns openly anyway? I mean what kind of denial do you have to be in to see a guy with a gun on his side in the parking lot, then when you see him inside - after he's untucked his shirt to cover his gun - and think, "Oh, okay. I'm safe now that I can't see his gun"? The same argument applies to the President being there. A guy with a handgun license concealing his gun is no less of a threat to the President. In fact, it poses a greater risk because the Secret Service doesn't know who is armed as easily. What is so much more dangerous about everyone with a gun SHOWING that they have a gun? Anyone? She screams about people walking around so afraid that they feel compelled to carry a gun, yet she's the one trembling at the very thought of seeing a gun in public. Seems telling... P.S. Ana, you're not Cenk. You don't pull of the Limbaugh rant very well.

  2332. +Jesse and Jan And everything in your comparison between then and now is due to inflation. Period. The thing you're nit getting is that the majority of inflation happens right AFTER a minimum wage increase because the powers that be realize that they can double the amount they need to upcharge and most people won't bother to call them on it. I'm actually surprised that someone your age is pushing for yet another minimum wage increase instead of calling for a return of the American work ethic. I'm supposed to be the "dumb kid" asking for handouts and you're supposed to be the responsible adult telling me to work hard and EARN a raise. Just goes to show that there were lazy people, even back then. And for the record, I own my own home too and support a family. Just like you, I started at the bottom. The difference is that I did it with my eyes open - knowing full well that I had to work hard and carve out a place for myself in order to pay for the life I've chosen. I was doing just fine living in a single-room apartment when I was working for minimum wage. I decided I wanted more out of my life, so I EARNED it. I didn't say, "Well, now I want a wife and kids, two dogs and a house and it's up to the government to force my boss to pay me more." No. I wanted more so I found a way to pay for it. If more people did it the RIGHT way, they wouldn't be trying to support large families on part-time, minimum wage employment. There's no two ways about it.
    1
  2333. +Jesse and Jan And again, I already covered this. Artificial inflation happens every time we get a minimum wage hike. The best way to make things even more unattainable is to bump the minimum wage because big businesses take advantage of the fact that everyone already assumes that the costs will go up. You can't change that with an even BIGGER minimum wage bump - only make it worse. The solution to the issue you're talking about isn't a higher wage, it's a return to a way of life that included ethical business practices. You want housing to stop increasing exponentially? Then the real estate agents need to stop telling people what they "could" get for their homes. Take it from someone who worked very closely with realtors for many years. Most of them are more crooked than a hillbilly smile. An industry as important as housing should not be controlled by commission based salespeople. Their entire world revolves around getting the cost of real estate to go up so that they can make more money per sale. Even buyer's agents don't try to get prices reduced during a negotiation any more. They try for "post sale rebates" so that the house will technically sell for more money and will keep the market looking like houses are worth more than they are. And trust me, as soon as everyone is making $15/hour nationally, you're going to see a MAJOR spike in real estate prices throughout the Country. Don't believe me? Just wait and see. I still talk to several of my old real estate contacts and they're chomping at the bit, waiting for the increase to go through. They can't wait to start kicking the prices up on houses. Will it really make you feel better when people in Ohio and Kentucky have to pay as much for a house as you do in Oregon or I do in California? That doesn't sound right to me at all. If anything, I think the artificial cost of living in the coastal States should go down. Instead, you folks are going to make the cost of living in the middle skyrocket. Great plan. Even Governor Jerry Brown said that while he was going to allow the increase to happen in California, it didn't make fiscal sense to do so. That he was doing it only because he thought it might increase morale. He said it publicly, so you can feel free to look it up. It's a pretty rare thing for Governor Moonbeam and me to see eye-to-eye on anything, so I take it as a pretty clear sign when it does happen. When the Liberal Governor of one of the mist Liberal States is sounding Conservative to you, it means you've gone WAY too far to the Left.

  2334. +Jesse and Jan Someone told you that but I'm not that someone. Bottom line: minimum wage is not supposed to be a way for a single income to support a large family who owns their own home. Minimum wage is supposed to support a single person, living a minimal lifestyle. It's survival. If you want more out of life, you're supposed to earn it, not have the government force your employer to give it to you. I don't really care that you bought a house and supported a family on minimum wage. All that proves is minimum wage was too high back then. Everyone seems to think that pumping gas or slinging burgers means they are entitled to a nice car, a big TV and an iPad. It doesn't. It means you can pay rent on a tiny apartment (or a room in a co-rented house) and buy yourself groceries. That's it. A roof and food for ONE. All else is luxury that you have to earn by doing MORE than the minimum.

  2335. +Jesse and Jan Are you really trying to say that, since a skilled labor wage increased at a certain rate that minimum wage for unskilled labor should have automatically done the same - even though we've already established that minimum wage in your day was higher than it needed to be? I'd say we're done here.
    1
  2336. +Jesse and Jan Wow. I've already explained all of that to you several times. You refuse to acknowledge this and so I'm done. Keep getting the Federal government to increase the minimum wage and you'll continue to watch corporations take advantage of the poor math skills that most Americans have these days. There's no argument to be had. We can't change things by doing more of the same. Have a nice life.

  2339. thegazette I'm honestly way too tired and far too disinterested to get into this with you right now. I will say that I found one thing you said as being quite funny and also telling of what kind of person I'm talking to: "If you say get a second job, you have never worked retail/food service." This is a ridiculous statement and most anyone with multiple jobs would agree. The majority of people who have multiple jobs are working service jobs. Do you really think that most people are getting done with a shift as a paralegal to go moonlight as an accountant? No, of course not. "Harder to get a second job" is not the same as impossible to get a second job. Your implication - that it's outrageous to expect people to have multiple service industry jobs - is nullified by reality. Sounds to me like you're probably a millennial who has received at least one participation trophy in your life and who was never taught that life is hard. The inconvenience of balancing a busy schedule is merely that; an inconvenience. It sucks and nobody ever said it wouldn't. You either work to get ahead or you whine to get a handout. Anyway, have a nice life.

  2341. Ellaine Anderson You are aware that you can just go back and edit your comments, right? You don't actually have to leave me separate ones every time something "clever" decides to fall out of your head. Now, let's cover your BS: You taught your son to work hard. He does so. Rather than being the person who got laid off, he's the one the company valued enough to keep. He's still making money while someone else is standing in an unemployment line....and your first thought is "Why aren't they paying him more money?!" You answered this yourself. If they're laying people off, it's not because they're experiencing a financial windfall. Sounds like your son works for a place that's struggling. They had to make some hard decisions. They recognized his strong work ethic and decided he was worth keeping. Gosh, such animals! As for your assumptions about me, I had to laugh while reading. So stereotypical of you to think that someone telling people to "work hard and make something of themselves" didn't have to do so, himself. Sorry, dear but I'm no hypocrite. I scraped my way up to where I am (which isn't very high but I'm proud of what I've built). But then, my life bothers people like you because I'm proof that it can be done and that others can do it, too. Can everyone do it? No, of course not. But a lot of people can and don't, because they're constantly being told by people like you that "the game is rigged, so there's no point in trying." Who is the bigger asshole: The person telling people that they can make something of themselves or the one telling people that they can't? One of the problems is that the genuinely downtrodden have had their programs bombarded by those who think they're entitled to an easy life. Nobody is entitled to anything they can't provide for themselves through work, trade or barter. That being said, as a society, we should always try to provide for those who can't do so. However, if it weren't for all those who won't do for themselves, there would be more available for those who can't do so. There's no manual for life. If you see an opportunity, you go after it. If you don't see one, you try to make one. If you fail, you try again. You keep swinging until the fight is over. ...Or you can complain on the Internet about life not being fair, to a bunch of people who already know it isn't. It's your choice but the second one isn't going to do a damn thing for you.

It's not the court system - which is the ONLY system that is supposed to be able to deny an individual's Rights. If the FBI is so sure these people are threats, why are they walking the streets? Why are they able to shop in all the same stores you and I do and have access to all of the same bomb making chemicals that we have access to? People claim that gun owners are scared, yet we're not the ones trying to strip the freedoms of innocent people "just in case." And yes, we are still innocent until proven guilty!

  2346. samiamrg7 First, don't bother citing mortality rates unless you're going to tell me that modern medicine has cured death. 40,000 people might die every year because of poor health coverage but the rest die in spite of it. If more people actually cared about their health, they wouldn't require so much healthcare. If you want me to keep paying for healthcare for the disenfranchised, maybe I should get a say in what they eat, what they smoke, how they exercise, etc. How about you run that compromise by them and see what they think? Second, I agree that healthcare costs are a big deal. That doesn't mean that throwing out the baby with the bath water for the sake of "mild improvements" was the right thing to do. Third, "Getting rid of it would hurt the American people" is way too general of a statement. Getting rid of it flat out would hurt a relatively small percentage of the American people and help a different percentage...but then, nobody is talking about getting rid of it outright without putting something else in place, are they? I'd say that taking a hard look at the flaws in the old system and how to fix them would be a good start. Competition breeds lower prices. Transparency forces honesty. Overreaching legislation just creates angry people looking to circumvent the system.

  2348. sniffthecactus duh Yes and thus far all attempts at stopping the circulation of guns among criminals have failed. The fact is, the easiest way to get people to stop carrying guns is to make them feel safe to do so. To gun owners, the idea of not carrying a gun when there are criminals with guns is like moving to a bad neighborhood and taking the locks off their doors and windows. Your point may be correct but it also isn't rooted in reality in this Country. There are more than 350 million legal guns in the US and countless illegal ones. Nobody has proposed any feasible plan to do anything about all of the illegal ones, so it's kinda hard to convince people not to carry legally as a countermeasure.

  2349. That's because we've become a Country whose primary focus is social issues. Actual political issues are boring and don't make for fun Twitter fights.

We're perfectly capable of not meeting our own goals without signing this agreement and that way, we get our public shaming up front.

  2361. +Justin And again, that's called affirmative action. People should be killed based on individual situations, not your need to balance some PC scale. The fact that you think basic census stats are something to base kill rates on is laughable. I suppose you think convictions should work the same way, right? We should just turn a blind eye once a certain percentage of a minority commits crimes? After all, charging anyone else of said minority once their percentage has been met would feel racist. Let's all forget about crime statistics and personal responsibility, right? We'll just focus on making things LOOK equal so that people like you can keep pretending that it makes the world a better place to do so.

  2362. +Justin I never claimed insight into the reason for the discrepancy. I just know better than to think there's a simple answer to such a complex issue. You, on the other hand, making sweeping generalizations about proportionality as though there can be such a thing in this situation. In order for the police kill rate to be proportional to the population, police would have to plan ahead. They would have to decide how many of each group has to be killed each year to remain balanced and adjust those numbers throughout the year to account for unforseen situations. That may be the kind of place you want to live in but not me.

Better to thin them out now and avoid the rush. And in case anyone is wondering, yes. If someone were to do the same to one of my children, I WOULD KILL THEM. It doesn't matter how long after the fact I found out. There's no statute of limitation on a father's rage. If you think I'm bloodthirsty then you either don't have or don't love a child.

  2375. Gnomelord0 Where did I say anything about morality? The person I responded to claimed that "high-school dropouts" would be voting for Trump. I argued against his statement. I said nothing about morality in one direction or the other.

  2377. +lilsqrll But that's the point. It's NOT harder to charge them (according to due process) because the burden of proof has ALWAYS been on the prosecution. This is a redundant law that merely speaks to how often Florida's DAs have been ruining people financially over trumped up charges. This is the government telling the prosecutors to stop stop charging people with a crime when they have no evidence of one. It's also the government saying, "Look, our people have been screwing up a lot lately and as a result, a lot of people have had to spend everything they have to defend against BS charges. We want to make that right." Now, while I don't fully agree with the State paying your legal fees, I do commend them for stepping up and offering people compensation of it turns out the prosecutor didn't have enough evidence for a conviction in the first place. All this is saying is that Florida believes in due process enough to back it up. Nothing has changed on paper as far as the way it works. The prosecutors just have to actually do their job now. I guarantee if the words "Florida" and "self defense" were swapped for "California" and "PETA activism," TYT would be singing a different tune. After all, only CERTAIN people should be treated fairly by the law.

  2379. +grant kohler No problem. One thing I can say, though, is that if you do end up confronting your attacker, you're only going to be as good as your muscle memory. My first experience with this almost ended badly as I got cut pretty deep. I always figured I'd just know what to do instinctively. I learned my lesson the hard way. After that I started training for self defense. The next time I was attacked I walked away clean (if you hadn't already guessed, I've spent a lot of time in pretty rough neighborhoods). When the adrenaline kicks in your brain takes a backseat. It's up to your body to know what to do and that's only possible with repetition training. If you're going to be responsible for your own survival (as everyone should) it's best to give yourself the tools to do so. Train in self defense. Even if you can't dedicate your life to it, you should learn the basics. If you have the desire to do so, you can train with a knife or firearm. It is your Right, after all and contrary to popular belief, it is fairly easy to become proficient with a firearm. In fact, most people who are willing to do one class/training session per week are better prepared than most law enforcement officers (the majority of whom spend far less time at the range than they should and almost never take stress based training beyond the minimum required). But I digress. My point is that you should train to a level you're comfortable with so that you have an edge if you ever have to fight for your life. You don't need to become a "super ninja commando" or a "gun slinging sniper" (unless that's something you want to do) but everything you learn about self defense could very well save your life or someone else's some day. Take care of yourself, friend.

  2380. +Raava Yes, you summed it up nicely. If given the opportunity you feel you would run away and let others die. Others would risk death protecting people, rather than live knowing they did nothing to help. That's the way it goes and unfortunately there are a lot more of your sort in the world every day. It's no longer considered "cool" to man up and do the right thing. Not when you can justify your inaction by claiming it was "common sense" to run away. But at least you always have your "Well, I mean if I absolutely HAD to fight to save my own skin" to fall back on, right?

  2381. +Raava "Fortunately, people who think like you will be off this earth in 20-35 years." Sorry for your bad luck but most of us have families and are raising our children to know right from wrong. You'd probably be much happier if there weren't any male role models to show boys how to become respectable men (because then you'd get your 30 year goal) but fortunately, it's not your choice. I have two boys who are growing up into fine young men. Who knows? One of them might pull one of your kids from a burning building some day. You see, that's more of that "BS heroics" you detest so much. I mean, wouldn't the world be a much better place if firefighters put their lives first, too? If you're right about your little 30 year prophecy, that's exactly what everyone will be doing; letting each other burn. Sorry pal, not on my watch.

  2382. +Raava You're right, you clearly have no idea what I'm talking about. Especially if you think intelligence, progression and inclusion are counterintuitive to what I'm talking about. I'm talking about morality, character and a desire to do the right thing. Just because you think of yourself as a progressive and intelligent person, that does not mean that your self professed cowardice is an intelligent or progressive quality. You really shouldn't diminish sound ideologies by lumping them in with your argument against being of good character. An ideal world is one where the majority of people are intelligent, progressive AND willing to do the right thing in the face of adversity. By the way, what is so "inclusive" about your way of doing things? I don't think "every man for himself" in an emergency is all that inclusive. One could even go so far as to call it incredibly selfish.
    1
  2383. +Raava - No. Thinking someone could have done something differently is called hindsight. Wondering if something could have been done differently is called inquiry. Claiming that someone is responsible for something that happened to them is victim blaming. I understand that you're having a hard time with this concept because it requires one to think deeper than just "He said something that I can twist to make him look like the bad guy!" - Stop trying to speak for everyone else. Everyone has their own reasons for their actions. You don't get to claim that everyone is a coward just because you want to feel like you're in the majority. At best this is a sad attempt to (again) try to put words in my mouth so you can try to claim some imaginary victory by making me look like the bad guy. If you can't refute my claims, stop arguing. In case you've forgotten them, here you go: A) Morality is good B) Being of good character is good C) Doing the right thing is good D) Trying to save lives is good E) Cowardice is not good F) Selfishness is not good G) Freedom to choose, however, is paramount There, I made them really simple for you. If you have a problem with any of these claims, please present a counter argument. Otherwise I don't see that we have anything else to discuss. Wait, there is just one more thing. Would you please stop with all of this left wing, right wing nonsense? This is a public forum. Anyone who doesn't know any better and reads this discussion is likely to think that you're saying liberals/progressives/Democrats are prone to cowardice and conservatives/Republicans are prone to heroism. That's simply not the case. It's not "right wing" or "left wing" to do the right thing. It's an individual choice. You claim I'm the one who sees things in black and white, yet you're the one who has been continually putting this discussion through the polarity filter. Stop it. Not everything is about your precious party war. You're not going to turn a discussion about personal responsibility into yet another mindless political debate, so stop trying. If you are incapable of speaking as yourself instead of as a party representative, feel free to not respond. P.S. I did get a chuckle out of the Bourne comment, though. That was actually pretty good stuff (no sarcasm).

  2384. +Raava Except that again, you're professing that it's black and white. It's not. You seem to think that everyone who didn't run headlong into gunfire fits the dictionary definition of a coward. They don't. You're lumping people who didn't have the opportunity/means/strategy to fight back in with those who had no inclination to do so. That's as false of an argument as I've ever seen. Most of these shootings are over in minutes and span multiple areas. The general public is largely untrained. Just because you're inclined to do something doesn't mean you're suicidal. I am not saying that every shooting has been in places where there were people waiting for their opportunity to strike back (I don't claim to know everyone's intentions the way you do). I am saying that it is far more complex than your polarized narrative would have people believe. "Nobody did anything" is not the same as "Everyone was too scared to act." As for your whole trip where you're quoting Webster's, again I'll say, I didn't write the book. If you don't like what's written in it that's your problem. If you don't like me using the English language, again that's your problem. If anyone else would like to stand up and profess that, even if given the opportunity to act, they would rather run away than concern themselves with the lives of others, I will gladly call them cowards too. The problem here is that you continually presume to be able to speak for everyone who has ever NOT fought back. You think that everyone has your motivations. You arrogantly imply knowledge into the hearts and minds of the majority of people who have been faced with violence. Given that you seem to have never been faced with it yourself, I don't understand how you can make such an implication. What could you possibly know about it other than "well, the news didn't report that anyone fought back, so I guess that means they're all like me"? I am not and will not make sweeping statements about those who have faced such violence (unlike you) because I don't claim to know their intentions. You told me yours. They didn't. Stop hiding behind others and argue this for yourself, coward. Back to the victims in this story: A) Do I think they should have done something different? Yes, of course. Anyone who thinks that a slaughter should have been carried out the same way, even if there's a possibility of improving someone's odds of living, is an idiot. B) Do I profess to know the situation well enough to say that there was an obvious solution that would have worked? Of course not. I wasn't there. If there was, then I WOULD blame the victims for not doing it. Unlike you, I'm not concerned with being PC. If people have an obvious chance at extending their life then it's up to them to do so. I don't personally feel that it should come at the expense of other people's lives but again, that is a choice that everyone has to make for themselves. If you remember correctly, this all started because you smugly tried to claim foresight into the actions of another - implying that he would run away like "anyone else." I don't know if it was because you think all people who would act consider themselves superior to you but after your last response, it would seem that way. You reiterate your statement that you would run if possible and fight if necessary. Okay, good. That's the choice you believe you would make. If that choice is valid to you, why then do you find it necessary to attack those who feel that their first reaction wouldn't be to run? Why do you feel the need to tell them they would do exactly what you would do? You don't know him. There's no competition in this. Nobody "wins" if either of you are ever faced with such a situation. It's just people and their choices. You said yourself that every situation is different, yet you seem to be saying that everyone's response would and should be the same as yours. That those of us who believe in acting on the behalf of others are going to be gone in 30 years (really not sure where you got that figure) and that it's somehow a good thing. So now I'm going to ask you directly: Why is it so important to you that everyone be like you? Why do you WANT a world without people who are inclined to stand and fight for others? And actually, you don't have to answer me but you should really try to answer it for yourself. I truly hope it's more complex than "You're not like me so I don't like you."

  2386. Actually, the "enemy" is ISIS, Al Queda and any other terrorist organization, the majority of whom happen to be radicals who support Islam (hence, "radical Islam").
    1
  2387. +MaxadBarre Maybe the moderate Muslim community can start showing their disapproval of such groups by helping to come up with some adequately insulting names that don't involve their own religion. It would be better if all of their leaders would stand up and publicly denounce them but, you know...baby steps.
    1
  2388. +MaxadBarre I think it's time you get over it. When groups do bad things in the name of Jesus, they're called Christian extremists. When groups do bad things in the name of Muhammed, guess what, we're going to call them Islamic extremists. By the way, Muslims make up roughly 25% of the world's population. 20% of the Muslim population would only be 5% of the world's population. So no, I would hardly call it the end of the world if 5% of the population got really mad considering how much of the world is already there.
    1
  2389. +MaxadBarre You as well.
    1
  2390. +MaxadBarre I do not disagree with any of these points. As Christianity is the majority religion of the West, there is an almost unavoidable bias against Islam. Surely you can agree that a similar bias exists in the East pertaining to Christianity. I am not saying that this is fair or just, merely that perspective will always play a roll in the reporting of events. Everyone is the "good guy" from their own point of view and those who have conflicting ideologies take the subconscious (and sometimes conscious) position as the "bad guy." Obviously there are other factors at play such as basic morality, social norms, etc but it almost always comes down to like-minded vs the opposition. I would like to ask you again though, what is it that separates ISIS from Islam. I don't profess to have a vast knowledge of Islam but I am trying to learn in order to be fair. You have said several times in this thread that ISIS is not an Islamic terrorist organization but said they were Jihad. What is the actual difference? Isn't Jihad an army of Muslims fighting for Islam? (forgive my ignorance if I'm off base. There's a lot of misinformation mixed in with facts on these subjects)
    1
  2391. +MaxadBarre Thank you for clarifying. Having sifted through a sea of commentary on the issue, I was getting a very different impression. A great many people claim that ISIS is following Mohammed's instructions in the Qur'an. Admittedly, I have not yet read the Qur'an, so I don't have an opinion in this area as of now. As for discouraging other Muslims from thinking it's righteous to join ISIS, I couldn't agree more. Obviously we don't need more terrorists in the world. I do feel, however, that the labels are somewhat semantic in this regard. One who believes in peaceful coexistence is not easily swayed to violence. One who believes in violence is not kept peaceful for long. In an ideal world, the general public would always treat the sins of individuals as individual sins but that's not the planet upon which we reside. While pleading with non-Muslims over labels may help some, it won't be enough to make a significant difference. Instead I would concentrate on reminding Muslims that this period in history is merely a test of their faith and resolve. That many people have faced unjustified bias and misdirected hate since the dawn of time and the truly righteous are those who do not succumb to anger and indignation in the face of misunderstanding. Furthermore, doing so publicly (such as this discussion) will do more to help sway the view of those who misunderstand Muslims than shouting at them about terminology. A man standing in a park reminding people to be peaceful brings far more peace than a man shouting at people to change. Remember, the only way to direct the narrative is to lead by example. Be well, my friend.
    1
  2392. +MaxadBarre Well, thank you. Though I admit, I am just as susceptible to knee jerk reactions as anyone else. Anger and fear always drive us to lash out first and ask questions later. And don't worry, the Qur'an will be joining the Bible, Torah and Tao Te Ching on my list of spiritual texts. To add to Helen Keller's thoughts on obedience, I believe that opinion without understanding is also blindness. I would invite you to study many texts as well. There is a plethora of knowledge that can only be gained through first hand study.

Feel free to tell your people to come to the US and get some equal treatment (we're all about equal rights). While you're busy back pedaling, maybe you ought to tell your citizens to shut the hell up. Anyone who wants" death to America" can give it a try. We'll send their asses home in body bags before the National Guard even gets out of bed. As for your sideways crap about "Oh no, we just mean your government and policies," you can stuff that too. Our government is far from perfect but it's OURS. The only ones who get to dismantle it is the American people. Every one of our politicians is also an American citizen. Any outside threat to them is a threat to us and will be treated the same. Death to America? Give it your best shot, bitches. If you're having a hard time finding us, we're the ones with the huge military and heavily armed citizenry. Don't worry, you'll be dead so quick you won't even know it happened.

Since it was your idea, you go first. Go out, disable your airbags and cut off your seatbelts. Then go take all of the breakers out of your breaker box and hard wire your entire house.

You want to ban ARs and AKs because of what they CAN do (but typically don't) and keep handguns because they're not as capable as ARs and AKs......even though handguns are responsible for the VAST majority of gun crimes? Okay. I want to ban Lamborghinis and Ferraris. They are capable of evading high speed pursuit. Granted, the majority of speeding incidents and traffic accidents involve Hondas and Toyotas but that doesn't matter. Why do we need these guns? Because they were banned for a decade and it made no difference. Why should we continue to restrict the ownership of something that, when it was restricted previously, had absolutely no effect on the amount of people who died?

You immediately dismiss all other candidates as "protest votes" and don't even consider whether any of them might actually be closer to Bernie, politically, than the other candidate who happens to have a "D" after their title. The fact is that Bernie is a lot more Socialist than Democrat. He and Hillary are almost nothing alike, yet you are willing to essentially vote against what you're preferred candidate stands for if it means making sure to be "loyal" to your party. I've never claimed a political party and I never will. This allows me to vote for candidates based on their merits, rather than the letter after their name. If more people did so, we wouldn't have the ridiculous power imbalance and divisive polarity we have today.

If you're not going to take your survival seriously in a world where people are shot every day, that's on you. Why do people who refuse to defend themselves think it's someone else's responsibility to do it for them? You don't get special protection for being passive about your own survival. Nobody on earth cares about your life more than you do. This guy took the necessary steps to ensure his survival and guess what? He's still alive.

  2427. +profd65 And that argument still stands. If this guy had been on the scene (not across campus) he would have been in a position to defend himself with force. If the guy who rushed the attacker (and got shot 5 times for his trouble) had a gun, he could have taken the guy down before he got those shots off. Also, if you think martial arts training is sufficient protection in a Country where mass shootings happen - on average - every two months, you might want to reevaluate your position. That is, unless you also avoid all schools, shopping centers, movie theaters and anywhere else that people gather in mass. I'd never shoot someone for the contents of my wallet but it's getting to the point where being involved in a mass killing is like having your identity stolen: It's not a matter of IF but WHEN it's going to happen. It'll continue this way until people start saying something about these lunatics BEFORE they kill rather than in a TV interview after the fact. It would be really great to get them on the books as soon as possible, so the mental health portion of the universal background check system can start doing its job. Maybe the military could start helping with that too, since this guy attempted to enlist and was turned away. But I digress. This man was not a coward. He did exactly what everyone else there did. He tried to stay alive. Until you're in the same position, your judgement is pretty empty.

  2428. Watched with an open mind. Still not seeing how either one would be worse than Trump or Clinton. The fact is that either Stein or Johnson will be a complete lame duck. Congress won't allow a third-party President to be effective in anything they attempt. Mainly because if they prove to be successful, there will be more competition in all upcoming elections. Clinton has the Democrats in her pocket and the ability to sway some Republicans. Trump got to where he is by being very good at backroom deals. Either one can be dangerous as President. Neither Stein nor Johnson is capable of doing anything other than filling the chair for four years while the big two come up with more jagged pills for us to swallow. Honestly, I'd rather have an ineffective President than a dangerous one. Let's coast for this term and see what 2020 has to offer.

B) "They threatened to wreck all the trees..." Okay. I once "threatened" to cut down my neighbor's tree. Would you like to point a gun at me for it? Have me arrested? What is the charge? C) "...and are absolutely going to kill animals." Umm....I don't even know where to start with this one. I guess once they actually COMMIT that act, you could charge them with poaching....but they haven't, so you can't. Where is the terrorism?
    1
  2431. +Meditche Gov. A) No. Killing animals without a license is called poaching, not terrorism. So far it's a moot point because they haven't actually killed any animals at this point. B) No. At no point did I say that trespassing was okay. I said that it was a minor crime and NOT terrorism like you claim. If you came into my house, I would have you charged with trespassing. I would not turn to the Internet to tell everyone that there was a terrorist in my house. I'm not insane. C) Seriously, can you please provide evidence of terrorism instead of making things up and trying desperately to twist my statements.
    1
  2432. +AeriosDFY2 I never said otherwise. I believe that they should be charged with the APPROPRIATE crimes and tried before a jury of their peers. This is the way ALL civil disobedience cases are supposed to be handled. Before 2011 people actually knew what terrorists were. Nowadays everyone seems to think that if you both carry a gun and disagree with a government policy, you're a terrorist. This simply isn't the case.

  2433. +AeriosDFY2 That's funny. Tell me, what gun control measures will stop "crap like this and all the cops shooting everyone"? I'm okay with sensible gun control measures but to me, sensible means it'll actually do something positive. I haven't heard a single proposal that would be the least bit effective. So please, tell me how gun control can stop activists from taking over empty buildings and stop cops from shooting everyone. Well, I guess taking the guns away from the cops would help with the second one but that doesn't seem reasonable to me either.

  2434. +AeriosDFY2 You're completely delusional. Cops shoot unarmed people all the time. Recently a naked man was shot to death by cops. Are you saying they thought his penis was a gun?

If so, you win the Internet. If not, please start reading up on these subjects before you talk about them in public.

  2435. +AeriosDFY2 My fault, I misread. I agree that the police (not all but a lot) are way too trigger happy these days. I still don't see any of the current gun control proposals helping with this, though.
    1
  2436. +AeriosDFY2 What Country do you think this is? You say "let" as though people have to ask permission to own guns. It's a right, not a privilege. Not to mention that a system like that would require national gun confiscation, which would be the bloodiest thing to happen in this Country since the Civil War. Okay, let's try again but we'll start with some facts: - There a roughly 350 million privately owned guns in the US and more being bought every day. - Roughly 1/3 of American citizens own guns. - There are about 100 million more guns than cars in the US, yet, even though cars are MUCH more heavily regulated, cars kill more people every year. - There were about 33,000 gun deaths in the US in 2014. Roughly 75% of gun deaths are suicides. The remaining 25% are divided up between justified police shootings, justified self defense shootings and actual homicides. Of the actual homicides, the majority are products of gang violence. - Guns are used around 800,000 times/year to PREVENT crime in the US. This obviously includes a very large number of occurrences when the mere act of drawing a gun was enough to deter the attacker. - Gun crime has been steadily reducing over the past twenty years. Now, without starting a war and without denying American citizens their Constitutionally protected rights, what legal, sensible gun control laws can be put in place that would effectively reduce gun crime faster than it currently is. My personal thoughts are that we should make firearm safety classes mandatory for all Americans. However, the only way to do that Constitutionally is to include it in high school curriculums the way we did with sex ed and require a passing grade in order to graduate. I personally think this is completely reasonable since it is every American's right, whether they choose to exercise it or not. It's the only effective way to create more responsible gun owners. A nice byproduct is that those who don't like guns will at least know what they're talking about, so they won't grow up to be politicians who say things like, "This ghost gun can fire a 30 magazine round clip in half a second" or "Get a shotgun and if you hear someone outside, fire two blasts out your front door to scare them off." By the way, that last one was said by none other than our very own Vice President. Thanks, crazy Uncle Joe...
    1
  2437. +AeriosDFY2 As I said, mandatory firearms education. That's all we've got on a legal level. The fact of the matter is that there are no legal restrictions that can stop suicide, gang violence or mass killings. As much as it pains most people to hear, we can't just ask the government to put a band-aid on it this time. If we want the killing to stop, we have to stop raising killers. It's that simple. The guns have always been here. The uptick of homicidal maniacs is what has changed. Moral parents raising moral children is the only thing that will work. All else is empty legislation in the name of not wanting to roll up our sleeves and fix this broken Country. Convict the criminals and create better citizens. It's not actually that hard, it's just that most people are incredibly lazy and want nothing more than to ask the government to do it for them.

If you can't afford or can't foresee being able to afford to pay for your parole, stay in and finish your sentence. I also believe in prisoner work programs that pay (at least partially) for their own incarceration. If you're convicted of a crime, that shouldn't mean that society has to foot the bill for you. Once you serve your time though, you should be allowed to resume life like everyone else. When kids break the rules, they're punished. After the punishment is over, they get to keep living their lives as usual. If we raise children to believe this is the way the world works then it should actually BE the way the world works.

Would your uncle be wrong if he decided that he is more valuable than his daily deposits and wants to carry even when he's not delivering money? Granted, that seems to be the way society feels.

  2472. clarice525 That's certainly one way to put it. Of course, that ignores the fact that a lot of people ask for assistance with such things who aren't actually incompetent (and as such, would have been among those who were restricted) but that's no big deal, right? We should all be okay with the Federal Government stripping people of various rights without due process. After all, due process isn't even in the top three, so it must not be that important, right? Now, if you'd like to discuss having a judge look at evidence that someone should lose said rights, that's another thing. That's called adjudication and it already exists.

  2473. clarice525 I hope you don't think I'm defending Trump. Just the premise for his statement on this subject. But yes, I am a strong supporter of adjudication and in fact, would love to see it get more attention in the media. Maybe then we can work on streamlining and normalizing the process so people can feel confident in using it. As it stands, most people have no idea what it is or how it works and they feel guilty for starting the process even if they do (most States require a relative or caretaker to adjudicate someone). We want to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. The people closest to them are the most likely to notice signs of such things.

  2474. Eisdax How is it insane? Last I checked, Texas has a lower gun crime rate than, say, California and their carry laws are far more lax than Cali's. It's almost as though it's not the upstanding citizens who abide by the law that are the problem. Perhaps States like California, New York, etc should do something about the fact that they have so many violent criminals walking the streets. Then they wouldn't feel the need to tell everyone else what they can and can't do.

  2479. +Aditya Kar The "smart gun" technology that was being proposed was A) unproven B) built directly into the firearm and C) was already being "required" by New Jersey once the first one sold, even though it was unproven and built into the firearm. This meant that a State was trying to set a legal precedent requiring all handguns (those things people buy for self defense) being sold after a certain point (that being the point at which the first "smart gun" was sold in New Jersey) to have an unproven locking system that could potentially keep the owner of the firearm from being able to use it effectively. Once a State sets a legal precedent, other States often follow with the ability to say "well, they did it so we can too" (that's what legal precedent is). The NRA, it's members (aka US citizens), the vast majority of gun owners in New Jersey and yes, firearms manufacturers, all rallied against this because it had the potential to A) put a lot of unreliable firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens B) greatly reduce the variety of handguns available and C) make even entry level handguns prohibitively expensive. Now, the reason your comment is so outlandish is because there are already biometric gun safes and lock boxes on the market and the NRA doesn't have a problem with any of them. All this is, is a biometric trigger lock and so far, nobody is trying to mandate that everyone has to use an unproven, biometric trigger lock on their guns. You see, it's called choice. The NRA doesn't oppose new options, they oppose new legislation. It's really that simple.

Side note: Three people sitting behind a desk, doing "old man" impressions isn't evidence that he's lying. It's what children do when they don't like something another kid says to them on the playground. Apparently, Cenk and Co. don't like it when the very thing they're told will happen, happens.

That's fine but don't project your inabilities onto others. You can only speak to how you would react in a given situation. Claiming some insight into the capabilities of every person involved in these attacks is a pretty weak argument. People should be allowed to decide for themselves what they're capable of. It's called personal responsibility and there's far too little of it in this world. These people had no choice as to their fate. None. There's nothing sophisticated or cultured about large groups of people being slaughtered like livestock because they lacked the means to defend their Right to live. You can't have world peace unless all of the bad people are gone. Until that day, it will always be better to have the choice whether you want to stand and fight or kneel and cry.

If you think talking will stop that kind of hatred, I'm glad you weren't in charge when we were fighting the Nazis. Most situations should not be handled with violence but some of them have to be. When someone is willing to die to kill you, the only option is to kill them before they get close enough to reach their goal. In this case it's an easy moral choice because they already want to die. Obliging them before they can take innocent people with them is the ONLY course of action that works.

The cities have the highest gun crime rates and the lowest number of legally owned firearms. Mass shootings have become more prevalent as of late and typically in suburban areas HOWEVER, they are almost exclusively in gun free zones. The mass shootings that have occurred outside of suburban areas have been in cities, where again, very few law abiding citizens own guns. So, if nearly all of the shootings in the US are happening where the fewest citizens are armed, how exactly can you justify the claim that a well armed populous doesn't stop shootings by pointing to the US as an example? It seems we actually disprove your theory.

In a no win situation, you go with the option that causes the least amount of innocent death. People are GOING to die in these situations. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise. Prayer circles and diplomacy don't stop extremists. Bullets do. This isn't debatable.

  2501. +Sascha Kramarenko Way to try turning the argument into something I never said. All I did was correct the blatantly incorrect claims that everyone in the US is armed and that's why we have a lot of gun crime. If you want to get into this, fine. I'll oblige you. The reason we have lots of gun crime is because we have a broken system that doesn't enforce the laws on the books and that releases violent criminals long before their sentences should be up. We have straw purchases with no investigations leading to their prosecution. We have unmedicated psychos walking the streets. We have gangs that would give most third world rebel armies a run for their money. THAT'S why we have so much gun crime. Believe me, your cute little cat burglars wouldn't be all that terrifying even if they had guns. Your criminals are simply not of the same maniacal level that ours are. You don't have nearly as much to worry about.
    1
  2502. +Sascha Kramarenko That's funny. I love it when people try the "we have criminals too" argument. If your criminals were as bad, you'd have as much death. It's really that simple. You're right, it's nit about the guns. Here, when they can't get guns, they maul you with bats, machetes, axes... whatever's handy. Your "different way of doing things" would not stop our criminals. Gangs would (and do) carry machetes. Mass killers would (and have) build bombs. Your claim is that it isn't about the guns...but then you go on to talk about gun violence like it's a separate issue from any other kind of violence. The double speak is strong in your argument. Anyway, I'm going to bed. You can respond if you like but you won't get an answer for a few hours at least.
    1
  2503. +gusgus 1991 So create a training system. It's not hard. Nobody said to do it exactly like the US. I'm not disputing the importance of firearms education. In fact, I believe in advanced classes with real life scenario drills for everyone. Now, as I told the other guy, I'm going to bed. I'll happily respond tomorrow if you want to continue this but for now, I need sleep.
    1
  2504. +Sascha Kramarenko I won't dispute that your criminal justice system is better. I honestly don't know much about it other than your lower number of criminals, so I'll give you that based on that metric. As for the gun control, I personally think places like GB have taken it too far but then, they have a long history of overstepping and taking too many Rights away from the populous. I really don't see why - if they've jumped through every hoop, filed every form and passed every check - a person should not be allowed to carry a firearm. Then again, I also don't understand the idea that a government thinks it can legislate away a living thing's natural born right to defend its self, family and home. Every creature on earth is born knowing it has that right, yet parliament thinks they know better? They're essentially making survival instinct illegal. Now, while we need some serious changes in this Country, those two things aren't up for grabs. There's a fine line between safety and oppression and trying to tell people they can't fight for their own Right to live is on the wrong side of that line.
    1
  2505. +Sascha Kramarenko The average home invasion in the US is enacted by 2-5 attackers. A woman in Detroit managed to defend herself and her children from 5 men who kicked in her front door in the middle of the afternoon - with her husband's semiautomatic rifle. It's really easy for people to say "just karate chop them or swing a bat" when it's not their life on the line. What would you tell this woman? "Sorry. I know you're a responsible gun owner but we don't like guns, so you can't have one any more. Here's a baseball bat and a Karate class pamphlet. Have fun being gang raped while your children watch. But hey, if you survive it, you get to spend the rest of your life waking up in cold sweats and jumping at every sound, for fear that they'll come back for another go at you." I don't much care for Europe's version of this story.
    1
  2506. +Sascha Kramarenko Except that it happens quite a bit here. The majority of gun owners who are confronted with these situations survive them and stop their attackers. Apparently 1% is a bit conservative. I really don't understand how people can claim that guns are such efficient killing machines that can lay waste to large groups of people and then, out of the other side of theirs mouths, claim that anyone who used a gun to successfully defend themselves was just lucky. Which is it? Are guns an efficient way of dispatching multiple targets or aren't they? I know the answer but then, I have a lot of hands on experience with various types of firearms. Mass shooters don't have special forces training that makes them better with their weapons than regular citizens. They have guns and time at the range, just like everyone else. To imply that guns are only capable of killing innocent people and that they have an ingrained inability to stop criminals is naive at best. I promise, a bullet doesn't do a background check before it hits you. A gun fired by a woman defending her children is no less effective than a gun fired by a police officer (Yes, I said it. The police have a TERRIBLE shot:hit ratio. Google it). Speaking of which, I'd like to weigh in on your conversation with Joe. The great majority of Police officers in the US retire having never fired at a person while on duty. The majority of gun owners can make the same claim. Somehow, you feel that the Police who patrol my neighborhood need a gun more than I do, even though statistically they're not much more likely to need them than I am. Why do the Police get special privileges? Are their lives worth mire than mine? My wife's? My children's? I know for a fact that I have more range time in than most of them and that the majority aren't even required to have stress based training (a course that's readily available throughout the Country). Remember, when seconds matter, the Police are only minutes away. I'm not comforted by the fact that the guys who come to make a report after an incident, are armed. Especially since they're such lousy shots anyway. I can tell you for certain that I can empty an entire magazine at intruders in my home without ever endangering my children (not that I would likely need all 30 rounds to get the job done but still). I can also tell you that the Police can't make that claim. I would MUCH rather handle the situation and let the cops do the paperwork than have a shootout in my house between the Police and the guys who broke in.
    1
  2507. +Sascha Kramarenko - A man stopped attackers with his bare hands so everyone should be able to? No. - The Police are "special" and the citizens are not? Hell no. - Police control the crime? Ha! They capture criminals AFTER THE FACT and put them in jail. - Your criminals are soft, therefore our criminals are? Do you not see how this conversation is getting redundant? If your criminals were as bad as ours, they would be killing as many people. Again, it's that simple. - The FACT that the majority of Police officers NEVER have to use their guns is incorrect? Try again. Seriously, the blatant ignoring of facts and making claims that Police are somehow more worthy than everyone else is getting pretty annoying. Not to mention the FACT that we have far more criminals who are willing to kill. If we didn't, you wouldn't be busy telling people to give up guns BECAUSE NOBODY WOULD BE GETTING SHOT. If you're not going to face the realities of this issue and just keep implying that our criminal element is really just a bunch of softies who are only made bad by the presence of guns, there's no point in continuing this discussion. You blame the weapon. I blame the person wielding it. One of these positions applies responsibility to a living, breathing being with the ability to reason and make choices. The other position applies the responsibility to an inanimate object that is wholly incapable of acting on its own behalf. Yeah, I think we're done. You have a nice life.

  2508. +Sascha Kramarenko The body count, for starters.
    1
  2509. +Sascha Kramarenko You're still not getting it. You seem to think that every violent criminal in the US has a gun. They don't. Not even the majority do. You're so focused on "gun crime" that you don't bother to look at "overall murder rate." I would recommend spending some time perusing the FBI's crime statistics before continuing this conversation. Notice that I said crime, not just gun crime. All of it. And feel free to compare it to your own Country's numbers. When you're done you should have a much better understanding of the situation. Maybe then you'll be able to see that what you're suggesting really is a band-aid on a belly wound. Until then, this conversation has nowhere to go.
    1
  2510. +Sascha Kramarenko Way to skim through and find only what you're looking for. Please, continue ignoring all of the other unspeakable acts. I wouldn't want you to hurt that fragile position of yours. Does everyone in your Country think murder is the only violent crime or are you unique in that regard? Did the words "for starters" magically jump off the screen after I typed body count? You wanted to know why I think our criminals are so much worse. It's all there in black and white. Of course, the anti-gun crowd will always ignore the rest of the picture because it doesn't support their (your) agenda. Meanwhile, the rest of us look at all of the facts and know exactly why we need the guns (that's right, I said need). But please, keep that narrow focus. Don't do as I suggested by looking at the crime statistics in their entirety. Just keep looking for the numbers that will stop you from having to consider the possibility that you are trying to claim to have a solution to the problems of a Country that you know relatively little about. Of course you think your solution would work here. After all, it worked for you and it's not like there is a mountain of societal and cultural differences that adversely affect such an idea, right? You just keep on believing that and I'll just keep shaking my head in disbelief.
    1
  2511. +Sascha Kramarenko See, you just showed your true colors. I said that we can make changes that would allow us to improve these numbers and increase the decline without having to give up our Rights but you're buried so deep in anti-gun dogma that your brain actually translated that into "we'll do nothing and just hope it gets better." You are so focused on the guns that you don't actually care about anything else. The gun crime rate in the US could plummet overnight and you wouldn't care because your problem isn't actually the death, it's the guns themselves. If we ever got to the point of zero gun deaths, you'd immediately jump on the "See, you don't need them! Melt the guns down!" bandwagon because even if there wasn't a single instance, you would still have that deeply ingrained fear of them. It doesn't matter that they're thousands of miles away. It doesn't matter how many or how few people are hurt by them. All that matters is that you don't like them so you make it your mission to rally against them. Now seriously, there's no point in continuing this. I like guns and believe in freedom and personal responsibility. You don't like guns and believe in government overreach and tasking others with your safety. We will never see eye to eye on this. Neither of us will "win." You will continue being a European without a gun and I will continue being an American with a gun. Feel free to post some witty reply so you can feel like you "won" by getting the last word. Goodbye.

  2517. +Dann DaMann Just thought I'd add my two cents: A) It's not so much a "gun issue" as it is a "horrible, amoral, impoverished, parentless, do what you want because society will make excuses for you, constantly surrounded by violence but that can't possibly be the problem...issue." Each generation is more lax on what is acceptable and because of it, worse and worse things are becoming the norm (who knew?). B) As for what I'm doing about it, I've done it. I bought, train with and carry a gun. People have every right to raise their children to be criminals. Nothing will stop it because nobody wants to. However, the right to act like that ends where my rights begin. The amazing thing to me is how many people inadvertently protect bad parenting, violent behavior and lifetimes of bad choices by focusing on HOW someone's hurting people rather than WHY. As always, the easy answer is more convenient than the right one. I guess people's right to be heartless beasts is more important than my right to defend myself from it.
    1
  2518. +Dann DaMann I understand where you're coming from. I come from a family who is very split on these issues, so I was raised to understand both sides (and agree fully with neither). One of the biggest hurdles really boils down to a cultural issue. Some people view guns as tools. Something that, if not handled responsibly, can cause harm (just as a chainsaw, nail gun, sledge hammer, etc must be handled properly). These people don't understand people being upset about openly carried firearms because to them, it's like someone being offended by a carpenter walking into a store wearing a tool belt. On the other side are the people who see guns as a symbol of violence and crime. They don't feel there is any place for them in civilised society, so wearing one in the open is so offensive to them that it's almost taken personally. This fundamental difference is what keeps any reasonable discussion from happening. The "OMG, it's a gun!" crowd and the "Relax, it's just a gun" crowd simply cannot see eye to eye. Neither side is wrong, per se. They just both take it to an emotional level that disallows any real compromise.
    1
  2519. +Parneli Jones That's exactly my point. One side feels that rights supersede safety. The other believes safety supersedes rights. It is no more "wrong" to want to be safe than it is to want to be free. The balance can only be struck once everyone realizes that they are of equal importance. At which point we can end the stalemate over guns and look for solutions to the REASONS that there are so many homicidal and suicidal people in the US. There are answers that don't involve confiscating guns, it's just that nobody wants to bother with them because they think, for some reason, that it would be easier to show up at a couple hundred million people's homes and try to take their guns. My problem is that I have a hard time understanding why some people think that things like better training for school counsellors, doubling the staff (and expanding training) for child protective services, adopting free psychology programs for the public and cracking down harder on violent criminals is more difficult than a nationwide gun confiscation in a Country with more than 350 million guns. Clearly they've never tried to take someone's gun away from them (and clearly they're not going to volunteer to be the ones doing the actual disarming). The thing they forget is that this isn't Australia or the UK. It would not go down the way it did in those countries and the loss of life would be higher than any battle fought on American soil to date.
    1
  2520. +Parneli Jones I never said anything about social security, so I'm not sure why you felt the need to expand on that. Again, things like the right to vote are, in fact, rights. They are not privileges that can be easily revoked. In fact, I dare say the right to vote is held with as much regard in this country as the right to bear arms. Try to take either from the people and an uprising will ensue. Again, different rights come from different places. The key is that the only reason we even know we have these rights is because someone wrote them down. It begs the question: does a person in another country have the same natural born rights as we do, even though nobody told them they do? Of course they do. They just have a much harder time securing those rights because they had no idea they had them in the first place. Most would first have to replace their government first, which is much harder to do because they gave up their guns. It's a bit of a paradox.
    1
  2521. +Parneli Jones Okay. I feel like we're splitting hairs here but try this. The framers did not give us the rights outlined in the Bill of Rights. They merely documented them. Our government, being a democratic republic, is merely a group of representatives that we, the people, have chosen to handle our paperwork for us (I know that's an oversimplification but bear with me). That being said, any rights "given" by our government and not directly challenged by the majority of the citizens are merely a further written clarification of the rights we are to be born with. Therefore, any documented rights pertaining to things such as voting, marriage, free speech, etc are all our rights, regardless of which piece of paper they are written on. They are not privileges because they are defined as such. Therefore, they can not be merely taken away like a privilege can. If you need evidence of this, try taking away something like the right to vote. The people will not allow it and will protect that right. By force if necessary. The only thing that truly defines a right is whether or not the people will stand against its removal. That which is given up willingly is not a right in the minds of those who give it up - and that is the only place where a right truly exists. You either believe you are free or you don't. Those who don't, aren't. At the point when a right is challenged, it doesn't matter where you think that right came from. All that matters is whether you truly believe it's yours and whether you're willing to stand up for it. The rest is just semantics.

  2523. Sun Rise If you voted, then you willingly took part in the election process and agreed to the rules we've been following for roughly 200 years. There's no point in losing a game of chess and then complaining that it should be more like checkers. If you don't like the electoral college, then by all means contact your representatives and tell them so. Get others to do the same. Help build support to do away with it. The only problem is that everyone hates the electoral college...until it benefits their Party. Then, suddenly, it's a wonderful system - put in place by the founders to protect us from the "other guy." I don't think people actually care that much, as long as they get their way. It's the ones who lose who always make the most noise. This is why I never drink election year wine. Too many sour grapes in the mix.

She stays quiet while her people commit assault, destroy property and halt traffic around the Country but now she wants to come out and be part of a process that can't help in any conceivable way? That's not a leader. It's a desperate, old woman trying to grab one last moment in the spotlight. Sad.

If someone is elected to the office of POTUS, takes their oath to uphold the Constitution and has already made public statements that run counter to the Constitution....shouldn't they then be charged with perjury? At absolute least, shouldn't you be disqualified from being able to run for office if you have stated publicly that you are not going to uphold the Constitution? In case you're wondering, this applies to both major party candidates. I think it's time to disqualify them both and make this an election for the candidates who actually support the US and its way of life.

  2526. Talks about the AR-15 being used in numerous shootings.....then mentions that it's one of the most popular rifles in the US... Does nobody realize that this is simple statistics? The AR-15 is NOT more deadly than any other high caliber rifle. It's merely the most popular . There are dozens of semi-auto rifles that use the exact same .223/5.56 ammo and can fire it just as fast. The AR-15 is popular with certain crowds for the same reason it's scary to others: it looks tactical. Take away the most popular gun and the second most popular will move up the ranks. While we're talking statistics, .22 caliber guns are responsible for the most gun deaths every year in the US. Is it because the .22 is the ultimate bullet? Hell no! In fact, most people who say they're buying a 22 for self defense get laughed at and offered a BB gun as a viable alternative. The reason .22s kill the most people is because there are ten times more of them than any other caliber gun. Does anyone REALLY think banning the AR will stop sick people from picking up any of the other rifles to do their dirty work? Of course not! In fact, if you somehow managed to magically make all of the guns disappear tomorrow, all that would change for the criminally insane is that they would have to look up instructions on how to build bombs! But hey, at least we'll all still have our camera phones and rape whistles when the criminals start blowing things up...

I have just about every major news organization in my feed, specifically so I can filter the fluff out of the actual news. Comparing several angles of the same story quickly reveals the actual facts. I don't much care how the people delivering the news "feel" about the topic, regardless of whether they got a job at the Times, the Journal, etc. Limiting your news sources won't give you unbiased news so much as give you the bias you're looking for.

Maybe you can all get together and start a 4x4 club. You an call yourselves the Goldilocks Guys! Your slogan can be "We Only Wheel When It's Just Right!" Ha!

  2569.  @tomtom7955  Well, if you see a tadpole in a pond, you know that it is alive and that it will become a frog, if left to its natural progression. If you drop a big rock on said tadpole, you have killed it, right? Does it really matter whether it has grown legs? Does it matter whether it can hop up on land, yet? The only "moral" conundrum is that frogs develop in ponds and people develop in other people. In order for the analogy to be perfect, the pond would have to be alive. Of course, even if the pond were alive; if it went on Tinder, picked up a frog and let him raw dog her...the tadpole would still be alive, wouldn't it?

You not only have to accept that your daughter identifies as a radish, you have to pursue the treatments necessary to turn her into a radish. If not, they can fine you up to $10,000 and throw you in jail. They have no problem throwing a taxpayer out of a public library.

  2573.  @chadmiller7876  There are coils in yours, as well. You simply throw yours away after your wick gets gunky, while I clean mine and replace the cotton. Yours are no safer than mine. As for those who sub-ohm, that's their prerogative.

  2574.  @chadmiller7876  I appreciate your anecdote but the fact is that far more kids are using Juul and other pod systems than RDAs/RTAs. The clouds may "look cool" to them but most are far more interested in something they can A) afford and B) not get caught with. Vaping in the school parking lot with a $100 setup - that sends up huge clouds, that give away what you're doing - is just a good way to be out $100. Most kids don't bring bongs to school, they bring "sneak-a-tokes." They don't take jugs of vodka, they take pocket-size bottles. If your nephew and his buddies are sub-ohming, I'm sorry to say they have fewer basic survival instincts than average teenager (and that's saying something). The things that are making people sick are Chinese-made THC pods and counterfeit Juul pods that have things like vitamin E acetate in them. Tell me again, how is it that the rebuildables are giving vaping a bad name? Also, the amount of metal that comes off a coil has far more to do with the type of metal used and the frequency it's replaced than with the size of the coil. Good talk.

That's the answer to the question right now. He didn't ask how many people will die tomorrow, so no, it's not a moving target. It's a request for the current data.

However, as to your main point, people with enough money can get whatever they want in any Country. That's not unique to the US. Money is power. Once you cross certain monetary thresholds, laws become more like suggestions. That is, in fact, why the NFA was penned in this way. It was to keep the working and middle classes from having things without prohibiting the rich. At the time, a $200 tax stamp for a suppressor or SBR was astronomical. No provision was put in place for inflation, so now it's chump change. An avid shooter can spend that much on ammo over the weekend. Anyway, just wanted add a couple more of my cents. Carry on.

There's no crisis to cold symptoms, which is the vast majority of cases from Omicron. South Africa doesn't have nearly the medical infrastructure we do and they're doing fine. They also don't have near the vaccination rate we do and again, they're doing fine. Omicron is only scary to the media, politicians, and pharmaceutical companies because it signals an end to all of this. We're all going to get it - vaccinated or not, we're all going to survive it, and we're all going to have that sweet, sweet immunity boost from it. All future variants are likely to be just as mild, if not more so and we'll all move on with our lives. In a year's time, COVID-19 will likely be just another seasonal cold. No more record profits for the pharmaceutical companies. No more kickbacks to politicians. No more sensationalist headlines for the media. Meanwhile, the rest of us will be fine.

It wasn't long ago that we were hearing all kinds of noise because McEnroe called Serena the best female player in the world, instead of calling her the best player in the world. Let's just do away with the silly gender classifications and make everyone play the same game on the same court.

Name me a judge that won't threaten you with a contempt charge for speaking over them. Lots of limitations on our freedoms. Of course, the difference is right there, in writing. The First amendment says "Congress shall make no law," while the second amendment says "shall not be infringed." The first amendment is a limitation on the Federal government's power over the several rights outlined in said amendmet. The second amendment is a blanket restriction on the power of any and all governing bodies, over the right to keep and bear arms. Clear as day.

    1
  2652. b1itsjustme Yes. However, in those 27 changes to the Constitution, only one time was one implemented specifically to restrict the freedoms of the people. It was changed back very quickly when the government realized that doing so caused a massive, nation wide backlash that they couldn't control. No amendment has sought to restrict citizen rights that were previously outlined and secured by another amendment. Comparing, say, redefining the second amendment to, for instance, giving women the right to vote...is disingenuous at best. Nobody reading this thinks you're talking about trying to give American citizens more rights. Your stumbling block is that you can't seem to get your head around the idea that this Country was founded on the principles of individual liberty and personal responsibility. The act of altering the founding document to the contrary is simply not something we will stand for. It's just that simple.

  2653. b1itsjustme No you won't. There are over five million members in the NRA and hundreds of businesses support it.

The funny thing is that I'm no fan of the NRA. They play games that I can't stand. I'm just not ignorant enough to A) think staging some kind of coup would work or B) that the NRA is even worth arguing about in this. The NRA backed or stepped aside for every major gun rights violation since their inception. They did nothing to stop the '94 AWB. They ENDORSED the NFA. The talking heads have people like you shouting about an organization that promotes gun safety and responsible ownership. Ooohhhh, scary. Do away with the NRA and its members will just go over to the GOA, who, unlike the NRA, staunchly opposes any and all infringements to the second amendment, whatsoever. They want to fight - not only to retain the guns we have - but also to repeal past restrictions. So you go ahead and pretend you're going to do anything to the NRA. Hell, accomplish it if you think you can. Just be aware that the Devil you know is often better than the Devil you don't.

  2656. For the past decade or so, my family has had "out-food Friday." Every Friday night, one of us got to choose the fast food restaurant and the movie we would watch. After a decade of rising prices and worse quality (both in the food and the service) I had enough. A couple months ago, I declared Friday nights "Dad Cooks Friday." Now, we take turns deciding what I'm going to make for dinner to go with the weekly movie. We've been eating things like STEAK DINNERS for less than the cost of fast food. Far better food and we ALWAYS get what we ordered, now. I'll never go back to weekly fast food. It doesn't matter what they do. I'm done. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some bacon double cheeseburgers to start putting together for tonight's dinner.

  2665.  @jammer6524  I lived in poverty. Now I don't. I'm not rich by any stretch but I have a good life of modest means. Should I not have had that chance? Should I have been denied that because people on the Internet like to pretend that starting out bad is worse than not starting out at all? Should my children have never been born (since I wouldn't be here to father them)? They're both good kids with promising futures but since they're a product of one of those "poverty cases," you would have them cease to exist? What of my wife? I love her with all my heart and she loves me the same. She is my best friend. We grew up together. Should she be alone? Should she be with someone who isn't as right for her? Maybe you think she shouldn't have been born, either? After all, she came from the same neighborhood I did. I guess that means she's just as disposable oops! I mean...no, I meant disposable, because that's what you mean. You don't value our lives because our parents weren't well off. I've got news for you: You're not actually on the moral high ground when you say that poor people are better off dead. If you actually cared, you'd be advocating for more charitable giving, not more abortions. If all of the so-called "caring" people in this world gave even a small portion towards organizations that help those in poverty...you wouldn't have a statistic to quote to support your views on abortion. Well, that explains that.

  2675.  @jamesoneil1388  Except in both of your "examples" those you mention are not, in fact, authorities. The appeal to authority fallacy is based on the idea that a person of authority in a particular field must be right, simply die to the fact that they work in that field. That is, of course, nonsense. Biologists can be wrong about biology. Plumbers can be wrong about plumbing. Invoke case studies, or even raw data. Don't invoke titles. People with titles are wrong every day. That is why the appeal to authority is always a logical fallacy.
    1
  2676.  @bellsTheorem1138  No, no it's not. Appeal to authority is the logical fallacy that someone who specializes in a field must be right, simply by virtue of specializing in said field. If that were true, plumbing would never leak, doctors would never get sued, and rockets would never fall out of the sky.

Also, Target would have been largely ignored (like every other comapny during pride month) but they decided to sell clothes designed to help male children tuck their genitalia, to appear as girls. Obviously, the idea of convincing children that they are a different gender than they actually are doesn't sit well with a lot of people.

  2685.  @1018Tim  A. The woman looking to protect herself from a violent ex deserves instant gratification. Her dying because you're okay with delays doesn't change the fact that her right was denied for the rest of her life. Unless you know the moment and circumstances of my death, you can't say with any authority whether delays are acceptable. B. Our rights aren't based on what's usual. If someone wants their first or only gun for home defense to be an AR15, that's their business, not mine or yours. C. You're still arguing for delays, rather than acknowledging that with my plan, they're unnecessary. If everyone is required to take firearm safety in order to graduate high school, we'll have that issue dealt with in one generation. There are no other (so-called) solutions being offered that will do as much for safe gun ownership in as little an amount of time.

  2697. Exactly. Every person who is mad about this is focused on the wrong end of the pipeline. All the shelters are full, with more pouring in every day.

The REAL issue is the more than 300 people who took in pets, only to abandon them when they became inconvenient. If it weren't for the sea of people dumping off their pets at shelters, there wouldn't be a problem to solve.

There are too damned many animals in the shelters - to the point where now even the shelters are abandoning them, just like their owners. These rodents weren't going to have some wonderful life. They died a little sooner than natural but at least they fed animals that actually are being cared for by responsible pet owners. There's no tragedy here. It's animals eating animals that nobody wanted as pets...just like every other day of the year.

Sorry, no. It doesn't matter if prop 13 keeps your property tax low, when you can sell your house, buy a better one on a larger property, for less money, and be paying lower property tax somewhere else. Even people who are delusional enough to be okay with the rest of the nonsense, are still capable of doing that math.

  2730. I agree that broadband needs to be far reaching but not for the same reason. More remote internet access is more education access for remote people. The benefit of that in a State like West Virginia cannot be overstated. The whole remote worker scene is already starting to implode on itself. Employers are starting to push at least partial in-office time every week. It's hard to live three hours from the city when you have to go into the office 2-3 days/week. Other employers are ending the experiment entirely. That's without discussing the impossibility of moving to another State. As it turns out, very few people are actually productive when working from home and most of those were already working remotely before the pandemic. Those who don't want to go back to the office will be competing against a sea of others for the few remote jobs that will be left. As predicted, the experiment (and thus, the vacation) is over. Remote work will go back to being a niche field - even if a slightly larger niche than before.

The implication that it's okay to fear all men because of something a man may have done to a woman, is no less ridiculous than fearing all people of a given race because of the actions of a few.

Believe it or not, the majority of people don't want another civil war. The ones who do have likely never seen anything close to combat. The idea of IEDS going off in neighborhoods, killing family and neighbors isn't actually appealing. Certainly not over Donald Trump. Many of us are old enough to remember him from his "glory" days in the 80s and 90s. That was back when he was a Democrat...along with several other parties, whenever it was advantageous to switch sides. Donald Trump is an opportunist, because that's what it takes to be an elitist billionaire. He wants his name on the next wall to be seen from space, because he wants a giant monument to him. He's not a patriot. He's not worth going to war over. So, who's the backup candidate?

  2762.  @TallulahSoie  In what way is he a patriot? The man endorsed red flag laws, saying "I like taking the guns and worry about due process after." He circumvented Congress to have the ATF redefine existing gun laws, to imprison Americans for owning certain firearm accessories. That gave Biden precedence to have the ATF redefine other laws, to try to imprison even more Americans for having other firearm accessories. Why did Trump do it? To try to leverage money from the Democrats, to fund a wall he claimed Mexico was going to pay for. But hey, we don't worry about motives, right? He gave a campaign speech where he said the second amendment would be safe if he won. Then, like every other politician, he went back on his word.

  2764.  @jaybee9269  More of the same. "The forefathers would be stacking bodies!" Not for this guy, they wouldn't. I know all about our forefathers and their beliefs. I agree with them. However, if you think a single one of them would support going to war because Donald Trump is in jail, you should lay off the fentanyl. Trump doesn't believe in "We, the People." He believes in "I, the Donald." He's a self-serving Manhattanite who got elected because his sound bites and posts were good for memes and sh*tposting against the Left. You want to have a call to arms to support a man who has proven that he will disarm you, if it helps him negotiate a deal? Just, wow. Anyone who is willing to kill their fellow Americans over this guy is not a patriot, nor a Constitutionalist. They're just pro-Trump. America needs real candidates, like we used to have. I find it baffling that people can come on here and quote truly great men, while bickering about a choice between two men who aren't fit to polish those great men's boots. It's ridiculous. We're fighting over the scraps that we're given, rather than demanding the leaders we deserve. Stand for THAT and you'll find me shoulder to shoulder with you.

  2767. For the record, there's no such thing as "men's divisions" in most sports. The Feminists saw to that years ago. We call it men's sports but it's actually open to women, too. So, we have women's sports and "open" divisions. Any trans people who want to play sports are welcome to try their hand against all the men in the open divisions.

Currently, we have a world full of adults who are seemingly incapable of making good decisions about sex, marriage, and elective surgeries for themselves. So now we think mommy, who has four kids with three different guys - two of whom are now ex-husbands - is going to make good decisions about her children's gender surgeries? Just stop.

  2772. Gender and sex are synonymous. The word "gender" became popularized as an alternative word for "sex" at a time when it was considered vulgar to use the word "sex" in mixed company. Then, some random guy came along and started claiming they were different things. Fast forward to the era of everyone making up new definitions for words, and of course that guy's nonsense has become popular. It's just not that deep.

  2774. That's pretty much it. US national news is like reality TV for the rest of the world. They think the US is a trailer park next to a ghetto, firing machine guns across the fence at each other. Why? Because our own news media portrays us that way. They are also responsible for this increase in mass shootings. Back in the day, the national news networks all decided to start reporting on suicides, regularly. As expected, suicides started to increase. When the media finally decided they were part of the problem and stopped reporting, the suicide rate plateau'd and then started dropping. They did the same thing with mass shootings only now, they refuse to stop reporting on them. They know they're part of the problem but they don't care. They make money, hand-over-fist, by reporting on mass shootings. It's disgusting.

  2777. ​ @rod-abreu  There were 31.5 million NICS checks run last year. There were 2.5 million run just last month. There have been over 448 million NICS checks since 1998. Each NICS check accounts for at least one, if not multiple, firearm transfers. There are an estimated 650 million guns currently in the hands of American civilians. Your idea is completely unfeasible. You people are trying to hold back the ocean with umbrellas. It's time to stop with the fantasy of being like the UK. It's never going to happen. The ONLY way forward is to deal with the things that have created such a spike in homicidal maniacs in this Country. That's the other thing we seem to have the most of, and it's the main thing causing the problem.

The overreaching laws that stifle the everyday lives of regular people just minding their business, are reactions to the issues in big cities. Cities are absolutely ruining the world. Contrast that with the "terrible tragedies" of people not minding their business, and a lack of things to do for those who don't know how to entertain themselves and I'm gonna have to say that rural life wins. Especially when you consider that if most people actually cared about others minding their business, they wouldn't post everything on social media and hold their breath, waiting for the 👍and comments to roll in. By the way, the easy solution to that one is to not live in town. People have a real hard time minding my business when they aren't right across the street or next door.

That argument is dripping with the obvious flaw that a normal person doesn't shoot up a church FOR ANY REASON.

  2800. Planned Parenthood was formed for the specific goal of controlling the number of black people in the US, to ensure they can never reach a plurality with, or majority over white people. That's not some wild conspiracy theory, it's a documented fact. They have carried on in their mission and have been very successful. To this day, the majority of abortions performed in the US are of black babies. If Democrats don't want black children to have to grow up in impoverished, predominantly black areas, why have they spent decades controlling those areas and not doing anything to help the people living there to have better opportunities? It's all a sham to get votes.

  2804. Boy George here is missing the plot. The issue for the "Progressives" isn't the idea of a trans who's Muslim. The issue for them is the idea of anyone on their "side" believing in any religion. "Progressives" are largely atheist. They only ever backed Islam because it grinds the gears of so many Christians. Now they're backing Palestine against Israel because Israel is an ally of the US. They're basically just trolls when it comes to any support of religion or religious nation. So, when one of their own says they've accepted a religion (ESPECIALLY an Abrahamic religion) they lose their collective minds.

  2822. While I want to believe that Juul is just misunderstood, I'm having a hard time with it. Marketing aside, their nicotine levels are insanely high. When I quit smoking, I was using 24mg/ml eliquid and getting more than enough nicotine (for some background, I was a 2 pack/day Marlboro 100s smoker for 20 years). My father used the same level and he smoked almost twice as much as I did (no, really), for 50 years. The only reason I can see for making 50mg/ml eliquid is to ensure someone gets hooked on your product and isn't willing to replace it with another one. Combined with the marketing controversy, it makes it seem like they are pulling the "catch 'em early and keep 'em hooked" routine. I hope I'm wrong. I'm a strong advocate for vaping as a smoking alternative. That's why I'm quick to criticize those companies that give it a bad name. If your eliquid is sold in boxes that look like apple juice boxes, I stand against you. If you're making tanks that look like Poke balls, I don't have your back. Vaping is for adults. We need our flavors and we need our nicotine tiers. We don't need cutesy cartoon characters. Those of you who are guilty of these things, it's time to grow up.

That's just a good way to have your landlord throw you out afterward, so he can charge the next tenants more rent to live in a utility-free home. The rich get richer. Same story, new chapter.

  2828. Regular Insomniac Wrong. Workplace shootings are full of adults who are responsible for their own place in this world. School shootings are full of children who rely on the rest of us to secure their place in this world until they're old enough to do so for themselves. Furthermore, trying to use vanity to discourage protecting children is despicable. "Is this Iraq?" Why? Do Iraqis take the safety of their children more seriously than we do? No but people like you are more concerned with public image than with doing what needs to be done. While you're working to implement a system that creates kinder, gentler authority figures, there are people out there, right now, working themselves up to a boiling point. Why pretend it has to be one or the other? Implement guards now to protect all of the kids who will be vulnerable for the next several decades before your program proves out. That's the problem with most of these "solutions." They don't solve anything for tomorrow's victims or the ones after that. They only (maybe) help people years from now. We have a problem now, so we need a response now (or at least, as soon as possible). Any answers dealing with vague notions of what it might solve in the future are irrelevant until the children are protected. The future is theirs, anyway. You can't promise a better future - filled with kind, gentle authority figures - to a single one of the kids that died today. It's too late for them. Of course, we could have protected them and given them lives to look forward to, but then someone might have compared us to Iraq. How unappealing...

  2835. I'm not about "F*ck the police" but I see no problem with regular citizens having better/more guns than the police. I think people seem to forget that the police do not exist for the sake of killing people. They're not executioners. Their guns are only supposed to leave their holsters when absolutely necessary. In the event of being outnumbered/outgunned, they already have protocol for calling in backup. Note that the police carry handguns on their hips and (typically) shotguns in their cruisers. That means they're outgunned in a whole lot of home calls. I know plenty of people who have more than just a handgun and a shotgun. It's not a big deal because the vast majority of us are not going to have a shootout with the police. It's simply not an issue.

Believing you're something you're not is a delusion. Believing that cutting off body parts is the way to cure depression and dysphoria is ridiculous. That's why trans people have an extremely high suicide rate and gay people do not. If I told someone I was depressed and wanted to cut off my hand - because I thought it would make me happy - they would have me committed, and rightly so. The only reason trans people are treated differently (now) is because the medical industry realized there's more money in gender reassignment than there is in therapy. It's now a multi-billion dollar industry. If a large enough group starts calling themselves trans-abled, the medical industry will happily start performing their amputations, too.

It would be interesting to see how they would each stack up with their optimum battery setup, across all tests. I'd say at least a 6Ah battery (9Ah+ would be better) for each of them and the "performance" batteries for those saws that claim a benefit from them. These are, after all, the full-size circular saws. They're more likely to be purchased for serious use than the 6.5" and smaller saws (I mean, other than the brushed Ridgid - that saw is a toy compared to their brushless offerings).

If a doctor tells a fat person that their weight is unhealthy, they're publicly shamed as fatphobic. If they tell a trans woman that they're not pregnant but actually probably have cancer, they're publicly shamed as transphobic. What happens if they tell gay men that their promiscuity (something that has become a protected cultural cornerstone) is what's spreading Monkeypox? You guessed it; they get publicly shamed as homophobic.

  2865. I'm confused. Is it your position that in order to care about people, one has to make themselves responsible for the lives of those people? I'm not allowed to want my co-worker to live, unless I'm willing to pay for every aspect of that person's life? That's a really weird position to take. Does that mean you don't actually care about kids being shot in schools because you're not out there, actively being a human shield for them? I mean, that is the logic behind your statement, after all. I guess I'll take you at your word. Julia Sipes - by her own philosophy - does not care about children being murdered in schools. If she did, she would be taking an active role in the lives of every child in the US.

  2874. "Producer Reagan was given acting lessons to sound more like Brett." And? DW decided they needed a fake bedroom podcast show, with a young, female host. So, they built a set and hired someone to play the part. Fast forward to contract renegotiations and it obviously didn't go well. So, they picked someone who was already an employee to take over their fake bedroom podcast show. Big shock, it's another young, female host. They know the formula that has worked so far, so they coached her on how to follow that formula. Anyone crying in this situation is ridiculous. Brett's obviously going to go on to do her own channel. You'll still be able to ogle her and pretend you're in love with her mind. Reagan will take over The Comments Section, and those who are into blondes can pretend they're in love with her mind.

  2879.  @jamesricker3997  Interesting hypothesis. How exactly did you come up with that number and how does it differ from the number of deaths we would get from Delta - which is already a much more contagious strain than any previous ones? Were looking at a stain that, by all legitimate accounts, should result in far fewer hospitalizations. That, in turn, results in more available resources for the severely ill, of which there will be far fewer as well. We're not talking about marginal differences in severity. 80% lower hospitalization rate and 70% lower instance of severe illness is better no matter how you slice it.

I'm more than aware of the mistakes that are and have been made in dog breeding but to throw the entire practice under the bus is just lazy activism. It allows you to feel self-righteous without actually having to put in the effort of knowing what you're talking about. See, if you had done even a modicum of research into the subject, you would know that there has been a growing movement (especially in the last decade) of breeders who are breeding for health and wellness first. The breeders who push for exaggerated features are slowly being pushed aside by those who breed for function. Of course, this is obviously happening more in the realm of useful dogs (working breeds and the like) but there are a few purse rat breeders who are doing the same. You didn't want to know that, though. You just wanted to be able to ignorantly slam a massive group of people, regardless of the fact that many of them truly love their dogs and want to see them thrive. Nope, much easier for your narrow, little mind to process everything in two dimension, right? Sorry to burst your bubble but people who paint everything in broad strokes are typically wrong about a lot. You seem to be no exception.

There are 450,000,000+ guns in the US. They're not going away. Correlation arguments are meaningless because they're not going to suddenly make nearly half a billion guns go poof. The only way forward is to reduce the number of people with suicidal and homicidal urges. That can only occur through societal and economic change. We are in a position where it is imperative for us to be happier, more well adjusted people as a nation. That is the only way to meaningfully affect change in the violent death rate (I really hate it when people only care about victims of guns and not any other kind of violent crime. They come across as simply disliking guns, rather than wanting to keep people from dying horribly).

  2887. Yeah...that's a garbage excuse. If you don't know what weapon you're drawing, don't draw it. There's a reason they wear their taser on the opposite hip (which you can see clearly in the video). It's so that they don't accidentally grab one when reaching for the other. She reached her right hand down and grabbed her gun. It was a reaction born of bad weapons training and then bad follow-up practice. She clearly spent way more time practicing her gun draw than her taser draw, which is why her muscle memory caused this to happen. If you spend all of your time practicing to draw your lethal weapon, you won't do the right thing when you need your non-lethal and, as you say, the adrenaline is pumping. Furthermore, people should not be in danger of being negligently killed by police. That is not their purpose. It was more important to violently restrain this person than it was to let him survive the encounter. That's all kinds of wrong. If he got away, so what? I mean that; so what? They had his plate number. They had the make and model of his car. They had his identity. They easily could have called it in and attempted to arrest him later, when it could be handled better. Unfortunately, ego and bad training become key factors. They aren't trained to deescalate and they don't want to go back to the precinct and be teased for letting someone get away. Awww, poor babies. How many people are dead because of pride and bad training? It's not worth it.

I stated the facts as they currently exist. If facts don't have a place in your conversation then please stop calling it an honest one.

  2906. What do feelings have to do with sports? We didn't separate male and female sports because of feelings. We did it because of physical differences that make it unfair (and sometimes, unsafe) for females to have to compete with males. It's really that simple. Your feelings are irrelevant. Your "identity" is irrelevant. It's physical competition, so it is regulated by measurable physical characteristics. Men run faster than women, as a rule. This isn't up for debate. It's a verifiable, statistical fact that is reinforced every time a track meet occurs and the times for each runner are recorded. It's not sexism and it's not "muh patriarchy." Athletes go out and try their hardest. Some win, some lose... and apparently, some change genders when they can't handle the loss.

  2907. THe thing is, they can never stop the problem with a gun ban. Throughout history, the majority of gun crime is perpetrated using the most common, affordable guns that suit the purpose. The Supreme Court has ruled that you can't ban guns in common use. That means that you can't ban the guns that are actually used for most gun crime (it's also why this ban will be overturned, if passed). It's time for everyone to point this out, in all public forums. Banning the Honda Civic won't stop people from driving drunk. It will just mean that they'll do so in Toyota Corollas more often.

This isn't a debate, and if it weren't for the fact that this woman is clearly outgunned by Peterson at every turn, I'd call it an embarrassment that shouldn't be aired. Fortunately, Peterson saved it for them by being able to push through all of her empty and false accusations. It seems their plan backfired.

  2940.  @caitthecat  People like you baffle me. Don't want to trust the guard? That's fine. They're human and humans are imperfect. The rest of your argument is ridiculous. No guns? Are you delusional? By current estimates, there are more than 650 MILLION guns in the US. That's nearly enough to supply every man, woman, and child with two guns, each. One in ten people in the US carries a gun legally, while countless people do so illegally. That means that every day you leave your house, you're likely encountering people with guns. You are entirely surrounded by guns, all the time. They're everywhere. More importantly, nobody cared whether "Rensie Nilsiac" or any other random YouTube commenter trusted them before they bought their guns. Meanwhile, we're talking about a gas station in North Philadelphia. If you think those security guards brought the first guns into that neighborhood, you are even less intelligent than I've been giving you credit for (and believe me, that's not a high bar at this point). Their being there is a reaction to violent acts that are being committed there, regularly. If you're more afraid of a paid security guard shooting you at that gas station than you are of one of the many criminals there doing so, you're even dumber than I had thought after dropping the bar for you previously. Think before you type. It's a simple rule and incredibly affective at keeping people from thinking you're a moron.

For every Conservative woman in a bikini calendar, there are countless "empowered women" doing OnlyFans and posting nip slip content on Instagram. If this is what feminism had looked like in the 80s and 90s, it would have had a whole lot more male support.

  2958.  @TEverettReynolds  Because the trailer park belongs to him. He can be held responsible if people are committing crimes on his property and he is aware of it. A buddy of mine was charged with aiding and abetting because he rented out a storage room to a guy and it turned out the guy was a drug dealer and was storing meth in there. The judge dismissed his case because the room had its own entrance with its own lock/key. That being said, the trailer park owner seemed more like he was using the law as a reason to harass her about her cameras, rather than actually being concerned about his own culpability. I just wanted to clarify why someone would legitimately care.

There's nothing vibrant or neon about a steak, yet it tastes better than any of this stuff they're adding dyes to. Cereal should be pale. It's basically just filler, anyway. Sugar cereal should just go away. Why raise your kids to think that the best way to start their day is with a bowl of diabetes?

  2962. @Triggered Liberal Arthropod So, in other words, the easiest way to avoid being charged after the fact is to buy a cheap lockbox, destroy it, and then tell the cops you had it secured. Doesn't sound like a law that is going to affect the right people. You'll mostly be jailing grandmas who don't keep their finger on the pulse of gun legislation.
    1
  2963. @Triggered Liberal Arthropod I'm not saying otherwise. Let me clarify. Someone chooses not to store their gun properly. Someone else breaks in and steals their gun. Upon discovering the theft, the gun owner runs to harbor freight, buys a cheap lockbox, damages it and then calls the police to report the theft. Alternatively, in the case of a handgun, one could simply say that they had the gun secured in a portable safe with which the burglar absconded.

  2964. Yes, I do. Unlike you, some of us are able to think beyond what our Party tells us to. I hate all of you extremists equally. ANYONE who politicizes tragedies is a steaming pile of crap.

You're supposed to pretend that one side (whichever one is the preferred one in the conversation) is in lock-step and the other is a giant ball of hypocrisy. The truth is, ideological inconsistency is the only thing both sides truly have in common.

  2987. Yeah...I'm not seeing the problem. MoviePass' target demographic is not the people who are going to pay extra for the "added experience" theater most of the time, anyway. Those like my wife and I - who do occasionally take in a 3D movie - would still pay extra for it, even if we had MoviePass (since we gladly pay extra for it without it). We would certainly go see more movies with it, which would result in more overpriced concession sales. If MoviePass is losing money, they should obviously adjust for it. The "sell at a loss and make it up in volume" model is asinine to someone with even a fifth grade math comprehension level. As it stands though, it's their money to waste. If some consumers get a chance to take advantage of that and - for once - make out better than the corporation they're doing business with...so be it. I'm not going to shed any tears over people not getting screwed. So, can we add AMC to your list of corporate sponsors? This comes off as paid sniper fire.

It would really blow their minds to know I started shooting at the same age, and they would die of a stroke if they knew how many guns I've owned. Now, my sons have their own knife collections and they, too, spend plenty of time shooting. Neither of them is 18, yet. Stay across the pond.

Obviously, it won't suit everyone's needs but then, no vehicle does. It's a seven seater SUV that gets up to 400 miles on a charge and has all-wheel-drive. That's gonna tick a lot of boxes for a lot of people. Especially when you consider the tax bracket of the people who will be buying most of these.

I have a real problem with the rampant marijuana and other addictive substance abuse in this Country. That does not mean I support government overreach.

  3028. Reducing the amount of nicotine in cigarettes means that people will smoke more in order to get the same nicotine fix. More cigarettes means more taxes. No, millions of smokers will not quit smoking due to lower amounts of nicotine. In fact, because of the lies being spread about how bad nicotine is (tar is the real problem, not nicotine) more people will smoke. They will view cigarettes as less harmful and less potentially addictive than they previously were and not worry so much. This move will increase smoking. Meanwhile, they thing that is 97% less harmful than smoking and is supported as a viable smoking cessation method in the UK (vaping) will continue to be destroyed by ignorant, middle-class, white women and the men who they control. Why? Because the people who directly benefit from the sale of cigarettes told them that vaping is the next boogeyman that is going to hurt their kids.

The fact is, the vast majority of people in the US drive far less than 200 miles/day. This car's range more than meets the basic needs of most people in that regard. Then there's the fact that its mere existence in the market helps to drive more competition to meet or beat this range at a lower price point. While this may not happen overnight, it will happen. More and more people will choose EVs for their commute. More and more businesses will install chargers for the convenience of their employees and their customers (and again, that good PR).

Especially if he had also been personally responsible for the deaths of Americans in Benghazi... Trump was the most hated candidate in history...except for the one he was running against.

  3051.  @6971robi  Any politician that said they wanted to expand welfare/assistance programs was saying that. Or were you thinking I meant they said "We'll give you free stuff" verbatim? That's the Democrats, Bub. They're all about promising the world and then giving jack shit...until the next election cycle. Yeah, they gave us Obama. What exactly did Obama do for black communities? Not much other than "be black." He really didn't end up being any better than any other Democrat in that regard. As for what the Republicans say, well, they say "Get a job, raise your kids, stay off drugs and don't commit crimes." I don't think that would be offensive to anyone who was already handling their business. As for what they do for black neighborhoods, it would be great if we could keep some in office in those districts long enough to find out. They don't last long, though. They don't promise sunshine and rainbows, so they get replaced by lying Democrats pretty quickly.

  3052.  @6971robi  Why are you talking about one Democrat's actions (Obama)? Is it because it's noteworthy that a Democrat did those things? Seems like it. As for Trump, I don't want to hear it. He's a RINO who jumped on the Republican ticket because he knew it was the only way he could win. He's been flopping back and forth between Red and Blue for as long as it has been advantageous to his business. As for that last part, I've got some news for you: When the Republicans talk about reducing welfare programs and forcing those who can work to get off their asses, that means everybody. They don't say "Well, let's boot the blacks off welfare but let all the white people stay on." What reality distortion field have you been living in?

  3058. A sitting President shouldn't be prosecuted, though. They should be impeached first, so that the Country can continue to function under a different President while the one in question is being prosecuted. But why do something silly like that when you can undermine the integrity of the Presidency instead, right?
    1
  3059.  @lajohnson1967  Yes because someone in the middle of being prosecuted is fully capable of doing their job while working on their defense, right? No. You impeach the President, allow the VP to take over as President and then you can prosecute the (now ex) President until the cows come home. The Country keeps functioning properly, you get your conviction and you maintain the integrity of the office of Presidency. Why would we skip that step? If you've got enough evidence to prosecute, you've got enough to impeach.

  3063. ​ @justinjames1339 The studies are out. Masking was ineffective. That really shouldn't be surprising, since the most popular style of masks said right on the box that they did not prevent the transmission of viruses, such as Covid-19. The second most popular masks were random pieces of cloth with cute pictures on them, that were never tested for effectiveness, whatsoever. It was security theater. They were duping the people who couldn't be bothered thinking for themselves, into believing something was helping. - These are the same people who claimed we had to be a minimum of six feet apart and then changed it to three feet apart for children in schools. Why? So that teachers wouldn't have to work longer days from having their class size cut in half/number of classes doubled. - They said that we were safe to take off our masks when sitting down at indoor restaurants, after telling us we weren't safe to sit down at the beach. - They shut down the majority of stores and forced us all into one or two, for the sake of our "safety." - They fired hospital staff while telling us that the hospitals are overcrowded. Exactly how much crap are you willing to swallow to protect your delusion that these people care about you?

  3066. No, what we desperately need to do is elect Constitutionalists to all levels of office. What we're going to have to settle for (for now) is electing Trump. Let's not pretend that Trump actually cares about gun rights. He was an open proponent for red flag laws and made the ATF unlawfully change the definition of an automatic weapon. He turned thousands and thousands of Americans into felons for owning a novelty piece of plastic crap. The man is not on our side. In his next term, he doesn't have to worry about being reelected. All the Democrats will have to do is promise him all the funding he needs for his wall, if he doesn't obstruct their anti-gun bills. I guarantee you that he will choose his legacy over the American people. ...he's just better than Biden.

Why drive something that will just get laughed at by people with better engines for trying (and failing) to sound like them? It's an economy 4 cylinder. Just jump in the Subaru and cruise quietly through the woods. All the Rav4 is doing is scaring away the deer without the benefit of sounding like a real engine.

  3076.  @GhalidiusTrident  Teaching about sex in Sex Ed is one thing. Teaching about gender identity in English class is another. Even California requires parents to sign a permission slip for their children to take Sex Ed. This way, parents know it is happening and can be prepared for any questions and such. Teachers who decide they are actually missionaries for their cause and introduce such subjects in entirely different classes are no longer teachers. They're activists. As such, they should be dismissed. Kids aren't given enough time to learn these subjects as it is. Now they have to get derailed because some activist thinks it's more important for kids to learn about neo-pronouns than how to conjugate a verb. 1/4000 people have gender dysphoria. The average number of students per public school in the US is 407. The average number of schools in a district is 5.6. That's 2,279.2 students per district, meaning there is roughly one genuinely gender dysphoric student for every two school districts. That would make gender identity one of the least important things to be taught in schools. It is an order of magnitude more important to teach about something as menial as table manners, than gender identity. At least most kids will run into situations where table manners will be useful knowledge.

  3089. It would be interesting to compare this to the very common instance of people becoming more conservative as they get older. I would be interested to find out if people tend to be more "liberal minded" when younger, due to the need to gain more information quickly as we develop, and then become more "conservative minded" once they feel they have gained enough information to live their lives. That's my theory, anyway.

  3090. @Icarus Loved If that were the case, I would imagine people would become more Liberal as they age. Fear of a competitive Capitalist society would make someone want more social safety nets, not fewer.

  3091. @Icarus Loved Who is talking about Socialism? I'm not referring to the last five minutes of history, when everyone has drawn their lines around "Socialism" vs Trump Naziism" or whatever other extreme claims people are making. I'm talking about actual Liberalism and Conservatism. We have had various social safety nets in this Country for a long, long time. They were not heavily referred to as Socialism, Communism, etc throughout most of our history. Now, that being said, if people were becoming more and more afraid of their Capitalist society as they grew older, the pattern would be exactly reversed. People would become more Liberal out of defense of their own interests. They haven't done that. They go the opposite direction. People who are more Liberal to start end up being more Conservative. It doesn't make sense to claim that's because people are afraid of Capitalism.

  3092.  @theaviationist.5719  That would be a good point, if we were talking about geriatrics. However, people tend to start becoming more conservative as early as their late twenties to early thirties. That really doesn't jibe with your "old and frail" theory.

  3093. ​ @jamess.7981 They serve peanuts and pretzels in bars because they are salty and make you want something to drink. It's also a hand to mouth action that helps keep smokers inside, where they're going to order more drinks, rather than outside smoking. Setting a bowl of free peanuts or pretzels in front of someone in a bar is almost guaranteed to get them to order at least one more drink than they had planned to have. Casinos go for the bigger goals. They'll often serve free drinks, as long as you're gambling. Your inhibitions get lower and lower, so you're happy to keep throwing away money. If you want to have one drink with friends, stay away from the peanuts. If you want to drink all night for cheap, sit yourself at a nickel slot machine with $10, go for minimum bet every time, and give yourself a minute or two between plays. And then call a cab or an Uber. There's never a good reason to drive drunk.

It is a consequence that largely only effects those taking part in said irresponsible behavior. As such, it is not the government's place to intervene.

Perhaps, it's time to for the government to back away from the parenting role and allow adults to deal with the natural consequences of their own actions.

  3153. "Could vaping be used to help people quit smoking? Well, there are some studies that say it could." Studies? There are countless success stories. Easily in the tens of millions or more. It's so effective that even the UK officially lists it as a smoking cessation method. You know, a country with true, single-payer healthcare. A country wherein people's health is directly tied to the financial well being of the government. The Royal College of Physicians concluded that vaping is 97% less harmfup than smoking. The American Cancer Society agreed. Not sure why you're claiming medical professionals aren't ready to sign off on vaping as smoking cessation, when them doing so is the reason the UK moved forward with said classification. The reason the US is so against it, is because the real power here is bored, middle class, housewives. They rally to "protect the children!" and everyone else falls in line. It doesn't matter to them that California's various vape bans have caused an increase in youth smoking for the first time in 20 years. No, no. What matters is "Think of the children!" without actually outting any thought into anything, at all.

Get the A/S or A/Ts and the roof liner package if you want it quieter and more comfortable on the road. Rubicon is an off-road platform that is street legal.

  3171. So, if you want to live in a better state than California, just move to any state that isn't Mississippi, Arkansas, or Louisiana. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Having lived in California for 27 years, it's incredibly sad to see just how bad it has gotten. There was so much promise there and it's pretty much all gone. Eventually, all that's going to be left is homeless, criminals, and victims. The rich will leave once there's no one left to serve them lattes and mow their golf courses. Come to think of it, that's probably why they're so soft on immigration. They see the writing on the wall and they need a new labor force to replace the one that's leaving. Wait. A bunch of rich Democrats with a foreign, dark-skinned workforce, working for far less than standard wages. Maybe that's why most of the South ranks higher than California. While those states are progressing forward (albeit slowly) California is adopting the role of being the new Confederacy.

  3181. A bold stance? Are you kidding? Nobody is responsible for your safety but you. That's a fact that has been backed up by the Supreme Court. You are your only defense in this world. There's nothing bold, radical, or edgy about that. This Sheriff is telling people the truth of the matter. The police are not your security guards. They carry guns primarily to protect themselves and secondarily to protect others - if they happen to be in the area when an attack is happening. Most of what they do is showing up after you've been victimized, to collect evidence and file a report. This shouldn't shock anyone, as it has been that way for a long, long time. Protect your life, liberty, and property. Chances are pretty good that you're the only one who will.

  3183.  @TSpartanDR  First, you're welcome. Second, if we're exhausting all options, that should put a kid well into the 18+ age range before we're to the point of hormone blockers and/or hormone therapy. That would make this a non-issue. As for the bathroom, you know as well as I do that bathrooms were not separated based on what someone feels like, but what they physically are. It was - to put it frankly - to keep penises and vaginas separate. Notice that we didn't change the bathroom rules when Gay rights happened. There was never a push for having gay men in women's bathrooms and lesbian women in men's bathroom, due to their sexual attractions. Why, then, would we change the bathroom rules now? It is a matter of fact that incidents of rape and sexual assault increase when people with penises have more access to people with vaginas, in private locations. That is just the way of it. Separating the two - in areas where they have to be exposed - is just good sense. And a thank you to you, as well. I very much appreciate civil discourse.

Then, because he's a firearms instructor - who surely knows tons of gun owners - he could just pick up the phone, call whichever guy had been talking about selling a couple of his guns last week at the range (believe me, there's always someone looking to do so) and bought those. Did you actually think that taking someone's guns away stops them from getting more? Ha! I live in California. The strictest state in the union, as far as gun laws are concerned. I can throw a rock and hit someone who will sell you a gun under the table, and I'm not a firearms instructor.

  3189. 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...

You trust people to defend themselves from attackers, therefore you trust them to kill their offspring? That's asinine.

Most people are introduced to things slowly, over time, throughout their childhood - as they become more and more mature, and capable of comprehending things. That is the point. Children don't grow up well adjusted by having mature and complex issues (typically referred to as adult issues) just dropped in their laps. Kids have 18 years to become adults. Forcing it on them early just deprives them of their childhood. I appreciate that my parents didn't take me to burlesque shows when I was a kid. I actually got to be a kid.

Their paradoxical thinking is truly dizzying. It's not unlike the way clinically delusional people will make their delusions more and more elaborate in response to any challenge to their validity.

Whoever regrets their own decision - to get drunk and hookup - more? Is it automatically the woman because "Inequality!" or is it simply because (in this case) the girl was an 8 and the guy was a 4? I also find it interesting that you have a category for "men hitting women" and not just hitting, in general. If all things are equal then anyone hitting anyone is equally bad. Most of those movies have women slapping men, too. If that's acceptable, then it's a double standard. It's hypocrisy. It's just more inequality. Either it's socially unacceptable to hit other people or everyone is fair game. That's how equality works.

  3266. ​ Mr. M  A) Most young men are struggling with identity. They make it into a big deal these days but it's really just part of growing up. You can't figure out who you are by excusing yourself from doing things, because you don't know who you are. It's a paradox. It leads nowhere. B) Most people work a full-time job that they don't like. Again, you're just describing being normal. This is another thing that people today are trying to cast as some terrible tragedy. It's not. It's just a job. Furthermore, if you're working 9-5, you're there an hour less than most, every day. Make the best of the things you have to do, so you can focus your energy on the things you want to do. C) If you want to learn to dance, you don't have to spend money on private lessons. Most YMCA type places and community centers either have dance classes or have information about classes being held by volunteers. They're free. You're figuring out who you are, so this is the perfect opportunity for you. You're at a fork in the road. You can be a guy who makes moves, or you can be a guy who makes excuses. You can't be both at the same time. If you choose to be a guy who makes moves, you're no longer waiting to find out who you are. Instead, you're deciding who you are. That's power. It all starts with that first choice.

It's common knowledge among the residents that you're probably going to be asked if you live there and if you have proof. As a matter of courtesy, you show your fob to prove that you are allowed to be there (because otherwise, the tenant who just let you in has violated their lease agreement). This woman took it further than most would but then, the guy was more stubborn than most, as well. Two wrongs. She was wrong to be so pushy and he was wrong to assume his skin color was the primary motivating factor. Anyone who has lived in this type of building will tell you the same.

Both of them left the line good and hard and would bark the tires going into second (and third), without trying. The way he was driving, it looked like he was trying to conserve fuel.

  3281. Alternative Title: Top 10 States To Move To If You're A Remote Worker Who Wants To Make Their Dollar go Much, Much Further The thing about low income States is that most things also cost less there. We're talking about places where the average home value is $40,000-$100,000. Gas is under $3.00/gallon. Vehicle registration is $20-$50/year. Yes, the average income is lower. So is the cost of living. If you can manage to make an above average wage for the area (which is easier than doing so in the high income States) you can have a really comfortable life. Heck, with the huge increase in the availability of alternative income streams in the past decade, even someone who isn't making much at their primary job can make enough to live high on the hog in these places. California, New York, Massachusetts, etc? Not so much.

  3282. It started with frivolous lawsuits that drove the cost of practicing medicine through the roof (doctors and hospitals pay out the a$$ for malpractice insurance). That was compounded by so many people not paying their hospital bills, that rates went up to account for the loss of revenue. Insurance companies were already largely screwing us over, due to not being a truly free market. Then, they slipped on the sandpaper condom when the government told them they had to provide insurance to everyone. Now you have a basic understanding of why healthcare is so expensive. If people didn't try to get rich off of doctors, other people worked out payment plans with the hospitals, Insurance companies had to actually compete for our business, and government hadn't given them an excuse to jack prices...we'd be doing okay right now. Then there's the whole pharmaceutical side of things but that's a horse of a putrid color.

  3285.  @barongerhardt  A) Yes, I would happily have an activist company against State overreach, in a time when doing so can be extremely profitable. Now is the perfect time. B) Toyota definitely didn't ask for these regulations. Toyota is all about hybrids and hydrogen. They don't believe in full EVs. C) Other States and the Federal government only follow California's lead because they see it working. If they saw serious push back, they'd think twice. Even if they still move forward with implimentation, it would be further down the road. More time before EV mandates hit is something we need. The grid will crumble with our current timeline. Even faster if other States start jumping on the bandwagon due to a lack of push back.

It hurts but that's about it. They kill by constricting. He did exactly as much as was necessary to save the dog. Your reaction is akin to saying if you saw a cat scratch your kid's face, you'd kill him for it. That's a gross overreaction to the situation. Though, in this case I'd assume that you have a deep-seated, irrational fear of cats...the way you clearly do of snakes. Calm down, it's just a snake. It didn't even do as much damage to that dog as another dog could have.

  3316. Rosencrantz23ph You don't understand the difference between being sexually harassed and having sex? If I pinch your ass or tell you I think you're hot, is that the same as having sex with you? No. It's a huge leap to go from "Some men at Fox have sexually harassed women" to "Every woman at Fox is having sex with someone there, in order to keep their job." And since you can't prove a negative and the burden of proof is on the accuser, it's up to those who have such a bold theory to prove that it's actually happening. So, where is the proof that Fox News requires women to sleep with male co-workers in order to keep their jobs? P.S. I genuinely detest people like you, for making me feel the need to defend such organizations. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize them. There's no need for outlandish claims. All you're doing is giving ammunition to the other side of the debate.

  3317. Rosencrantz23ph So you're saying you don't have proof of actual sex being traded for employment either. Thank you. You could have just said that, instead of being so sensational about it.

Try harder.

  3326. Why do the FBI and police need an amendment ensuring that the People have a right to bear arms? Government agents do not require citizen rights to be constitutionally protected. That's like saying the First amendment is there to protect a Presidential candidate's right to speak publicly and have the press write about it. Instead of looking at the pieces you like, how about you study the entire amendment? It's actually pretty clear: A well regulated militia (a properly functioning citizen armed force), being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of The People (that's you, me, your cousin mark, your aunt Sally...the citizens) to keep and bear arms (to own and carry weapons) shall not be infringed (will not be restricted). Like it or not, that's the law of the land. Is it problematic to some? Sure. Do you have a choice whether it exists? Not really. Can you choose to go to a Country that doesn't support this right?

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.

  3337.  @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.

  3340. Now, remember folks.A felon still has 5th amendment protections. Because of this, they are not required to incriminate themselves. Therefore (and this has been reinforced by Supreme Court decisions) they are not legally required to apply for carry permits or to register their weapons. Why? Because that would require them to admit to illegally possessing a firearm. The criminals really, actually, objectively, have more rights than you do. These laws are not and never were designed to stop criminals. They have always been for infringing on the rights of the law abiding. First they did it to keep newly freed black people from getting guns. Men and women whose only "offense" was being born the "wrong" color. Then they decided - since it worked so well - to expand it, and keep expanding it, so that it affected everyone of working class and below. There isn't a single gun law that adversely affects the rich and powerful. Meanwhile, they've done nothing to affect the criminal use of guns. Why would they? As long as there are people out there scaring people, there are plenty of people to cheer for the next batch of infringements. They'll do nothing to stop violent crime (since they're not designed to) and politicians will come up with another way to step on the working class. Lather, rinse, repeat.

  3384.  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.

You don't get to give up on an animal and then pretend to be outraged when that animal didn't live the life you wanted for it. Over 300 rodents that were abandoned at a shelter and people are mad at the guy selling food to responsible pet owners. Give me a break. Until we start actively shaming all of the people who treat pets like toys - and do something about the insane number of animals that get abandoned every year - I don't want to hear it.

In reality, he's a dude who went too far down the rabbit hole, looking into giant conspiracies and decided to go the route of "all politicians are the enemy." Not that he's necessarily wrong but he definitely handled it wrong. Meanwhile, you can listen to the 911 calls and read the reports. It's obvious he and Paul knew each other.

It's popular because it's a gas efficient car with a bed. Truck people who aren't insane enough to pay the insane prices the market has created for new trucks, just buy used trucks. The Maverick came along at a time when truck manufacturers have convinced a lot of people that they don't need a truck. It's perfect for all of the people who need more than a car and less than a truck. Ram looks to be following suit. The manufacturers are loving this because they get to keep soaking stupid people (and people with an actual need) for WAY too much money by keeping real trucks at high prices. Then, they'll get to sell these Utes to people who refuse to spend that much to haul air 90% of the time, but want more utility than a sedan or SUV can offer. You can tell he really hates this. I don't blame him. It's going to keep the prices of real trucks high for the foreseeable future.

  3417.  @minimushrom  Okay, you were making sense until you claimed that Omicron was going to make it difficult for medical systems to cope. There have been plenty of cases of it at this point. The data shows that it has not caused a single death in the over forty Countries where it has been found. They can't even manage to co me up with any number of severe cases worth talking about. Even the news sites that love causing fear will mention that Omicron is spreading and then quickly switch to talking about how many people Delta is killing. At this point, I'm comfortable predicting that Omicron is our savior variant. Yes, it will blow through the population at a record pace...and kill/disable virtually nobody. It will infect the vaccinated and the unvaccinated alike, because the vaccines aren't doing much of anything to prevent this one. Most everyone will build more than just antibodies for COVID-19 because of Omicron. We'll all get those good T-cells and lasting cellular memory that makes vaccine boosters pointless (not that there's really any point to them against Omicron, anyway). Thanks to Omicron, there's a very real chance of us reaching herd immunity and returning to normal lives. That idea displeases certain people. Those people can take their $36,000,000,000/year honey pot and use it as a suppository for all I care. They did their job. They made their money. Now it's time for them to get out of the way.

That's simply un-American. There are some important questions that need answered, though. What is his sentencing going to look like? Are they going to give him four years in prison, just so they can keep him from being able to serve his term as president? If he gets elected while serving his sentence, can he pardon himself? We're in uncharted waters here.

If you don't think people own their pets, try taking one of mine and see if you don't leave in the back of a squad car. It won't matter if they go with you of their own free will because their will does not matter to the discussion of ownership. People and animals are not equal.

Being able to buy a nice house in a good neighborhood for less than what I was spending to rent a bedroom in someone else's crappy apartment doesn't make me feel poor at all. When it gets too cold, I turn on my furnace. When it gets too hot, I turn on my air conditioner. My cost of living is so much lower that now I can afford to take my family on vacations to SB and actually enjoy it, rather than just dreaming about being able to. My wife has family down there. One of her cousins refuses to move because "It's Santa Barbara! They have everything here!" Last I heard, she was living in her car with her daughter and working at a gas station. If she worked at a gas station in my town, she'd be able to afford her own apartment. But hey, the weather sure is nice...

At the end, he berates the woman who said implied that the rape accusation was less important than the threesome admission...after spending the entire video talking about the threesome and not the rape. TYT is clearly far more concerned with pointing out Republican hypocrisy than they are with a woman being victimized. Of course, if they were to focus on this flimsy rape accusation, they might have to face the fact that sometimes, people do lie about rape - especially when a political is involved. Ooh, no. We don't want to tug on that string. No, it's better to ignore the rape accusation altogether. This was hilarious. Thanks.

  3514. Unafiliated voters aren't necessarily moderates. You said that California is about 30% Liberal and 30% Conservative, with moderates making up the other 40%. If someone always votes for Liberal candidates, they're a Liberal. California didn't become the Democrat super-majority it is because "moderates lean left." It became that way because a lot of left-leaning independent voters vote Democrat. Why? Because we have a two-party system in most places in the US. When you're a Liberal (or a Progressive) who isn't a Democrat, and you are only given a choice between a Democrat and a Republican, you're going to vote for the Democrat. California is a super-majority because the majority of California voters want Democrats to have unchecked power. There isn't a moderate on Earth who thinks one party should have complete control.

It's a toy I used to teach my children on, before handing them a real rifle (and after giving them time with a .177 BB gun). Those that actually manage to move decent caliber bullets at a useful velocity are prohibitively expensive compared to the firearms they're trying to match. Air guns are not a reasonable alternative to real firearms. That's all there is to it.

The Black Panthers scared the crap out of white people, so those white people started coming up with ways to reduce the number of black people who could own guns. It worked so well that they've now decided to apply it to voting (and since so many States support it for guns, it has a leg to stand on in the courts). If you can require an ID for one constitutional right, you can require ID for another. It's called precedence. Racist, systemic, precedence.

If you decide to have penile-vaginal sex, the consequence is often that you'll get pregnant. None of this stuff is rocket science.

Also, non-trans kids only get put on puberty blockers when it's absolutely, medically necessary. Then, they're taken off as soon as humanly possible. Why?

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.

I'm under $13,000 in five years and it hauls things like the Bobcat I rented to trench my backyard. It also takes me up the chopped up trail to my favorite fishing hole. I'm well within the EV "mostly sticks around town" demographic, yet I can't find a good reason to drop $30,000 on one. I could easily pick up a used Corolla for another couple grand if I wanted really good mileage. It would still take more than a decade to get to the cost of a new EV (and by then, there will be plenty of used ones on the market).

That's about as terrible as the argument that black people are too inept to get an ID, even though every person collecting disability payments has one.

How exactly do foreign nations deserve to have their flags on American public buildings, when various flags that represent different Americans' beliefs don't? All or nothing. No more backdoor Sharia bullshit. You can't hang a cross on one of their city's public buildings but you can have flags from Muslim Countries with Muslim governments. This is not American patriotism. They're testing their boundaries, while morons cheer for them.

The American Flag stands for the rights and freedoms of all those standing under her, whether you happen to agree with them or not. I'm sick of all the pride flags everywhere but I'm more sick of corruption in government. Now I have to argue with people who are defending a Muslim council that says they'll allow flags from Countries under Sharia law to fly, while they ban flags from American Rights movements.

He buys a 3D printer and pumps out a new bump stock every day. Ban 3D printers. He holds a pen in front of the trigger and lets the recoil do the rest. All that without even mentioning the fact that he was a millionaire who could buy whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. If the man wanted a full auto AK, he could have flown to a foreign crap hole and shipped a crate of them back for himself. No reasonable legislation would have prevented this. None. Sometimes bad things happen that can't be avoided. It's tragic, it's messed up and it's true. This guy knew exactly what he was doing. He planned it out and stockpiled until he knew he was ready.

  3607. Coldlight If you think banning plans stops anything, you've never spent any time looking at 3D printer sites. Don't argue from a place of ignorance. If you think current 3D printers can't build a bump stock that can withstand the measly amount of recoil from a little 5.56, you've never spent any time around a 3D printer OR an AR. If you think import bans stop automatic weapons from crossing our shores, you should talk to ex-Senator Leland Yee (Dem) about how many RPGs, automatic rifles and grenades he helped smuggle in for Chinese gangs in California (Go ahead, Google it. I'll wait). Furthermore, if you think even half of the containers at every port in the US is checked for contents, you're delusional. I can tell you with the utmost certainty that people are shipping guns, drugs and even people into this Country 24 hours/day. As for the strawman bullshit at the end, troll harder.

  3608. Naftul Zvi You're right, the original plan was for infantry grade weapons and also things like cannons (yeah, we had those back then). The point was to allow the citizenry to be able to match force against an opposing military. That meant having access to the same weapons. Or do you really think the founding fathers intended for the militia to continue using muskets while other armies were upgrading to things like the Puckle gun and the Pepperbox revolver. Oh, you didn't know that there were already repeater firearms back then? Well, now you do. People like you really shouldn't argue from the Constitutional side of this. The founding fathers wanted the populous armed and ready to fight, if need be. That didn't mean bringing a knife to a gunfight and hoping for the best. There have been a lot of concessions allowed that limit the weapons available to the citizens but given the current administration, I'm not sure you want too many people bringing to light what our actual Second Amendment Right really is. Especially given what it means when you take the entire thing into context. I could see Trump deciding to repeal the NFA in the name of his loyal constituents. Is that what you want? If so, keep talking about the Second Amendment because technically, the NFA is unconstitutional.
    1
  3609. Naftul Zvi In case you're interested in knowing what you're arguing. The founders were fully aware of these weapons. Weapons available when the second amendment was added to the Constitution of the United States (1791): -Thee Cookson rifle features a two-chamber horizontally-mounted rotating drum. Loading was accomplished by lowering a lever which was mounted on the left side of the rifle. This caused the chambers to line up with two magazines contained within the buttstock and allowed one .55 caliber lead ball and a 60-grain powder charge to fall into their respective chambers. When the lever was returned to its original position, the ball dropped into the chamber, and the powder charge lined up behind it. At the same time, the hammer was cocked, the pan was primed, and the frizzen was lowered. After firing the rifle, the process could be repeated. -The Brown Bess muskets used by both sides fires a .75 caliber round. -Cannons (Weapons of the American Revolution) were legal to own. There are some notable private artillery organizations still in existence today. Many early naval vessels were also privately-owned and were outfitted with cannons. -Swivel guns were smaller cannons with fixed mounts that could be quickly aimed in any direction. -Mortars were indirect fire weapons. Smaller mortars were sometimes used as grenade launchers. -The ammunition for cannons and similar heavy weapons was not limited to large solid metal balls. There were exploding cannon balls, case shot, grape shot, bar shot (two balls chained together), and even hot shot (when the metal projectile was made red-hot just prior to loading in order to set structures on fire). -Hand grenades. Though not as prevalent as in later periods, yeah we had hand grenades then. -The Puckle gun was the first known revolving cannon. It fired a 32mm round, had a 11-round revolving cylinder, and was invented in 1718. It never saw mass production but demonstrations were performed and it was covered by the newspapers. What killed it was the fact that the parts for it could not be easily produced at that time. -The Girandoni Air Rifle fired a .46 caliber projectile and had a 20-round magazine. It was invented in 1779 and was used by the Lewis and Clark expedition. -The Belton flintlock was offered to Congress in 1777. It was capable of firing up to either sixteen or twenty rounds within either sixteen, ten, or five seconds. There are no known surviving examples but it was believed to function similar to a roman candle.

Of course, I'm not currently discussing the NRA with anyone, as I am not a member and don't support the direction they've taken. I was talking about the Founders and their intent behind the Second Amendment, which your linked video spoke very little about.

  3611. Naftul Zvi I never disputed that measures should be taken. In fact, you'll notice that I even agreed to some off hand a few comments ago. That doesn't change the fact that people arguing for gun control should stay as far away from the Second Amendment as possible. It's a losing battle before you even start it. I've argued it from both sides. There's no winning against: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the Right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The whole argument is right there, in black and white. The people's right to own and carry weapons will not be restricted, because they need them for security (in modern English). Change tactics. The Second Amendment is pretty clear and you'll never get 2/3 of Congress to agree to changing it. Find a different angle and hope whoever you're talking to doesn't jump straight to the 2A. I'm not your enemy. I'm not against making major changes to a lot of things in order to help save lives. I'm just telling you that you're never going to get anywhere arguing about the Second Amendment.

Because of their penalties and improvement costs, my electricity bill has doubled in a few, short years (after all, it's my fault they never reinvested their billions and billions of dollars into infrastructure). If every power company suddenly starts making huge investments into modernizing the grid, get ready for poverty to skyrocket. The tens of millions of people who are living paycheck to paycheck will suddenly stop being able to make ends meet. Then, the government will step in and subsidize the power companies' progress. How will they pay for it? By taxing the same people who can no longer afford their energy bills. "We can fix the grid!" is a shortsighted response that will only serve to make matters worse.

  3633.  @HerbalAssailant  Calling BS on that one. I live in a small city with very little tax base (so no extra to spend on frivolities). The lunches at my kids' schools are good enough that they sometimes take a couple of dollars with them to get a side to go along with the lunches I make them. If a school isn't providing options that taste good within the parameters, that is the failing of that school. I really don't think it's that, though. Much more likely is that so many kids eat so much crap nowadays that anything not dripping with sweet or salty flavor comes across as bland. Anywhere else in the world, a vegetable tastes like a vegetable. Here, it tastes like "Not enough sugar! WAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
    1
  3634.  @HerbalAssailant  No, you're clearly the one who doesn't understand. You are trying to put the blame of your bad experience on these regulations, where that's clearly not the problem. If there was a problem with the food in your school, it was up to the parents and students to let the school know that it needed to change. Repealing a nationwide healthy foods program because some schools didn't bother to put effort into making the food taste good is utterly ridiculous. It is completely feasible for schools to make healthy foods that also taste good (even those with little to no extra money to spend). Furthermore, if the lunches were that bad, why weren't you making your own and bringing it in? I know that the concept is lost on some parents but my kids have been able to make sandwiches since they were six years old. I expect anyone at a high school level to be able to figure out how to feed themselves. But I digress. If your school didn't bother trying to make healthy food taste good then there's no reason to believe they're going to try to make food that tastes good even a little bit healthy. I guess it's better to promote terrible dietary practices, if the alternative is people actually having to get off their lazy butts and tell their local school district that they want good food to taste better, right? I mean, we wouldn't want anyone having to be an active participant in their own lives or the things that affect it. That might lead to people taking responsibility for themselves and making better choices. We don't want any of that in this glorious age of instant gratification and passing the buck. Nope, better to just roll back the healthy lunches and pass around the sugary, high cholesterol slop. Sure, it's killing you but at least it tastes good!

The thing about using trees for lumber is that it means we need trees. They have to allow more tree growth if they want trees to cut down later. Switching to hemp means those trees are no longer necessary for lumber and in fact, are in the way of hemp growth. So, how much deforestation are we talking about for this "eco-friendly" alternative?

Those are mostly about virtue signalling to the far Left, to make them forget that Biden hasn't done anything for them since getting elected. I mean, look at what they're trying to ban. Nothing that would do anything to reduce actual gun homicides. Not that any ban would. The majority are from gang violence. Gangs don't turn in their alreafy illegal guns.

  3671. Even if this "credit increase hack" was legal, it's still idiotic. Every time you transfer money from one LLC to another, that counts as income for the receiving LLC. Income gets taxed. Every time you do this, you're telling the IRS you made that much money, so they should tax you on it. Do it enough and you can end up owing the IRS more money than you actually have.

  3675. I'm gonna have to argue with her about this. She claims we can't change who we're attracted to. That's a lie. We can't change who we're not attracted to (for the most part) but we can definitely make ourselves not be attracted to certain groups. It's about dedication. If a pedophile really wants to ensure they never hurt a child, there are plenty of negative reinforcement techniques that will stifle and then remove their attraction. Personally, if I was a pedophile and couldn't remove the attraction through other means, I would be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure I never hurt a child. So, the question is this: If they really just love kids...how much do they love them? Are they willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect them? No? They're actually just perverts with a desire for something so unspeakable that nobody on earth is willing to associate with them? Alright, that clears it up.

  3680. AOC is advocating that children in abusive homes be kept in abusive homes, wherein at any point, their "secret identity" could accidentally get out and cause the parents to harm said children. That's a terrible take. If a child is being abused, they need to be encouraged to come forward and tell someone who can help them escape the abuse. What they don't need to do is live a secret life in which every day they have the constant fear of being hurt. For the record, an awkward conversation with parents who don't necessarily agree with you is not abuse. A parent asking questions and/or challenging your position is not abuse. A parent offering alternative explanations for the things you're feeling is not abuse. Those things are just called communication. It can be very uncomfortable but nowhere in the Bill of Rights are you guaranteed a life of total comfort.

  3686.  @DragoonEnNoir  You're right. They also pretend to stand for gun rights and then stand back and watch whenever they're actually needed. They've been doing it for a very long time. The NFA, the Hughes amendment, the '94 AWB...all done with the NRA standing idly by. They're very good at making themselves look like they're doing something (like recently piggy-backing a lawsuit that other gun rights organizations had already put in all the legwork for) but when it comes down to getting things done, they're a joke. The only people who think they're doing any good for gun rights are shills and dupes. Fortunately, there are plenty of dupes on the other side of the debate who keep their sights on the NRA, while the real gun rights groups have time to grow.

  3688.  @Ryooken  The minute they landed in another Country they were...NO LONGER IN THEIR COUNTRY. They were done with the act of fleeing their Country the minute they made land elsewhere. At that point it becomes part tense: They FLED their Country. They're not seeking refuge any more because they already have that. What they're doing now is illegally migrating. How is such a simple concept so hard for so many to comprehend? If they land on our shores and ask for refugee status, that's one thing. If they land elsewhere and then decide they like our Country better, that's a different thing entirely. Beggars can't be choosy.
    1
  3689.  @Ryooken  Irrelevant. We're talking about refuge seekers, not migration. When you're fleeing a threat, you're only doing so until you're safe from that threat. Once you are safe, you don't continue to flee. The minute they were received in another Country, they were no longer fleeing the threat. They had received... (wait for it)...REFUGE. Once you have received refuge, you are no longer seeking it. At that point, if you choose to change Countries, you're doing so as a migrant, not a refuge seeker (remember, you already have refuge). In which case, you follow all of the same, legal steps as anyone else who is migrating because you are in no more danger than anyone else any more.
    1
  3690.  @Ryooken  So, when someone from Canada moves to the US (a demonstrably less safe Country) they're refuge seeking? Try again. This time, maybe without the obvious bias in your thinking. Migration is simply moving from one area to another. Seeking refuge is searching for safety. You can seek refuge in a church down the street or a police station in some cases. You cannot, however, migrate there.

  3692.  @Ryooken  You're really bad at reading. I didn't exclude either of those from the definition of migration. I merely implied that you can't conflate the two, simply because they are both forms of movement (migration) and that seeking refuge can be broken out as its own thing, because it does not automatically involve migration. mi​grate verb mi·​grate | \ ˈmī-ˌgrāt , mī-ˈgrāt \ mi​grat​ed; mi​grat​ing Collegiate Definition intransitive ​verb 1: to move from one country, place, or locality to another //Thousands of workers migrate to this area in the summer. 2: to pass usually periodically from one region or climate to another for feeding or breeding //The whales migrate between their feeding ground in the north and their breeding ground in the Caribbean. 3: to change position or location in an organism or substance //filarial worms migrate within the human body ref​uge noun ref·​uge | \ ˈre-(ˌ)fyüj , also -(ˌ)fyüzh \ Collegiate Definition (Entry 1 of 2) 1: shelter or protection from danger or distress 2: a place that provides shelter or protection 3: something to which one has recourse in difficulty verb ref​uged; ref​ug​ing Collegiate Definition (Entry 2 of 2) transitive ​verb : to give refuge to intransitive ​verb : to seek or take refuge The two are not inextricably linked.

  3721. Are you kidding me?! NEW?!? Okay, one more time for those who haven't been paying attention: This has been known the WHOLE TIME. At the very beginning, they told us not to use masks because N95s and equivalents were the ONLY masks effective at stopping Covid, short of actual respirators/gas masks. They didn't want us buying up the N95s because they wanted them available for hospital workers. Then, they came out and told people to wear inferior masks because they saw that people were getting upset that they weren't being "protected" from each other by a mandate. Now, even when they're admitting (again) that the masks people are using are crap, they're stopping short of telling people to switch to N95s. Why? Because they don't want to admit that they duped everyone (even though it's obvious to those with an IQ above 80). Is everyone on the same page, now?

Global inflation didn't even things out, it just raised prices across the board. If you leave a place with, say $5/gallon for gas and $0.44/KW for electricity and go to a place with $3.50/gallon for gas and $0.12/KW for electricity, it doesn't really matter that it used to be even cheaper in that place. Saving about $300/month on electricity alone is a big deal. Even if absolutely everything else cost the same (which it doesn't, by a long shot) that still puts you $300 ahead every month. California is actively trying to price people out at this point. There's really no other logical explanation. So, wish granted. I'm out.

  3746.  @bernlin2000  A woman's opinion that it's not a child is as valid as a racist's opinion that a POC isn't human. Opinions are not important. Human beings only give birth to other human beings. We don't sometimes have guinea pigs or cats. We only have human beings. Therefore, that "invasion" is a human being that has human rights. Since the vast majority of abortions come from consensual sex, that means that human being was put there through the informed consent of the mother (everyone old enough to procreate in the US knows that sex leads to pregnancy and that no birth control method is 100% effective). If I invite someone into my home, I don't get to then shoot them for trespassing. Infants aren't viable outside the womb. They will die without a caretaker. That being said - for the sake of ideological consistency - you can either believe that mothers can kill all children who can't yet take care of themselves or you can agree that "viability" is not the strong argument you think it is. Potential life is sperm swimming towards an egg. Life is the successful fertilization of said egg and the corresponding growth/development that follows. That development continues throughout the rest of our young lives, into adulthood.

  3757.  @donnahalsted7718  Another person who has never had a job. Most people can't stop paying taxes. Taxes are taken out of you paycheck by the company for which you work. You can say "Hey, stop taking taxes out of my payxheck!" and they'll laugh at you. When you're old enough to have your first job, you'll find out what I'm talking about, firsthand.

  3758.  @donnahalsted7718  Again, you seem to be missing the point, entirely. The only way for the majority of people to stop paying taxes is to quit their jobs. Taxes are collected automatically from people's regular pay. They don't physically possess that money at any point. Therefore, they cannot withhold it. This seems like something a legitimate business owner would know. Makes me think you might be telling tall tales.

  3762. Narc 1820 If that's the case, I haven't seen it. I've lived in four different States and more than twenty five different cities (including several major ones) and I've not seen any major areas of segregation (other than NYC but that place exists in a vacuum). I guess it never occurred to me to look for segregated neighborhoods but then, if you have to look for them... Also, I would love to see you present the argument that culture is intellectual property in a court of law. If culture was considered IP, the NAACP would have already sued every white rock musician in history. There would be copyrights on most of the trends you were going on about and the entire black community would have much more money than they do currently. But if you're right and culture belongs to a specific group, name me one culture that has been unaffected by outside influence. Otherwise, you're not going to win your court case. Prior art is a big decider in these cases. If you can't prove that your cultural trends weren't influenced by other cultures, there is no IP claim.
    1
  3763. Narc 1820 You keep using the word segregation. I do not think it means what you think it means. Either that or you actually believe that Chinatown, Little Italy, Spanish Harlem, the Bronx, etc are all there because the government mandated that the races are not allowed to live in the same neighborhoods. Tribalism is not segregation. Segregation is a system of forced separation. Go to New York and apply for an apartment in any of those neighborhoods and you'll get it (barring any credit or employment issues). There's no racial prerequisite to live in any of them. As for your IP argument, you're still off base and I'm assuming it's due to a level of victim mentality. You claim white people have decided that "oppressed minority culture" is fair use (implying that dominant majority culture is not). Okay, I'll bite. There have been several prominent black Country singers. There have been thousands of black football, basketball and baseball players. All of these fields were born of white culture. How many of these athletes and performers have been sued for cultural appropriation? After all, if what you're saying is true then only white people are allowed to engage in cultural appropriation, right? Why would any majority - as evil as you're implying whites to be - allow minorities to just come in and take what they want from their culture? That doesn't sound very dictatorial to me? No. Culture is an ever-changing thing that is greatly affected by any and all other cultures with which it interacts. Modern American "Black culture" could not exist without modern American "White culture" and vice versa. Why? Because they are intertwined in a million different ways each and every day. So much so that nobody is capable of drawing clear lines between them. I would invite you to make a big pot of beef stew some time and then try to get the beef flavor out of the carrots and the carrot flavor out of the potatoes. It would be easier than separating Black and White culture, that's for sure. Why? Because it's all American culture. Like it or not, we all share in each other's cultures every day. If that bothers you, that's really too bad. The vast majority of us live peacefully with each other, sharing our cultures happily. We all bring our own unique dishes to the potluck and we don't label the food based on which race is allowed to eat it. We share as much as we want with whoever we want and we don't ask for DNA tests first. Those of you who try to draw hard lines between Black, White, Brown, etc, are largely ignored in every day life. Unfortunately, the media likes to shine a spotlight on you for ratings but most of the rest of us dismiss you as extremists and continue on with our lives. Not that your opinion doesn't matter as much as the next person's. It's just that it's completely counterproductive. Never in the history of the world have people been brought together by focusing on their differences. The negativity of people who insist on trying to keep some kind of karmic scorecard, only serves to create more division. "Well, your great grandpa may or may not have done X, so you're guilty by nature of your skin color!" That's a racist sentiment. Racism breeds racism. When the majority of people on all sides realize this, we can move forward. Until then, it's pointless YouTube conversations for everyone! Yay!

  3766.  @chrismagnussen4304  Okay, so where are all of the Omicron deaths and severe cases? We've been told how fast this variant moves. There should be deaths by now. South Africa should be swimming in bodies, having had their hospitals overrun by Omicron patients that they can't keep up with. Where are they? The media is so desperate to show us that Omicron is lethal, that they grabbed the first death of someone with Omicron in the UK and claimed they died from Omicron. Of course, when people tried to follow up, that got swept under the rug really quickly. Omicron is "so dangerous" that nobody is dying and almost nobody is getting severely ill from it. As for any talk about vaccines helping: 60% of the US is vaccinated. 80% of Omicron cases in the US are vaccinated. There has been no correlation between vaccine status and severity of symptoms from Omicron in the US. Some quick math will tell you that A) Getting the vaccine won't help you survive or have reduced symptoms from Omicron and B) Getting vaccinated won't help you keep from getting Omicron. In fact, by the numbers, the vaccine seems to be making people more susceptible to Omicron - not that it matters, since it's most likely not going to kill you or do any lasting damage. Omicron is our way out of this. The pharmaceutical companies - that have been working really hard to get us on a regimen of taking their vaccine every fiscal quarter - are nervous about this. Show me a doctor and I'll show you someone who loves money. Pharmaceutical companies have lots of money. If this guy doesn't have a severely inflated bank account after this interview, I'll eat my hat.

  3767.  @ichirocharles1  Try to avoid the appeal to authority arguments in regards to the FDA. They are the same organization that approves all of the incredibly unhealthy foods people pour down their gullets every day. Diabetes and heart disease aren't the top killers in this Country because of black market foods. Also, the FDA has not even approved any of the COVID-19 vaccines people are taking. They approved a clone of the Pfizer vaccine that isn't available at the moment. Meanwhile, Pfizer is so trustworthy that they just had to recall all batches of Chantix due to high carcinogen levels. That's right, their anti-smoking meds could actually give you cancer. Like I said, avoid the appeal to authority arguments on this one. The authorities have a pretty bad track record.

  3770. Omicron is the dominant variant in new case infections, not hospitalizations. The death tolls are from the people who are losing the fight with other variants after a week or more. This was predictable, as we get spikes after every holiday. After another two to three weeks, we'll start seeing if there is a significantly different lethality for Omicron in the US vs other Countries. However, given the numbers from those other Countries, the future is looking pretty bright, so far. Omicron should infect enough people to push out the other variants, altogether. Given that it has shown to be so mild, that will give virtually everyone a fighting chance. If it's successful around the globe, all new variants should stem from Omicron, meaning that they'll be likely to be even more mild and even more contagious. What does that mean? That means, if all goes well, we'll have another cold to add to our cold and flu season, and life will move on.

Instead, "Progressives" kept pushing for the world to be easier to live in. It's all of the modern decadence that has caused the untenable amounts of pollution. "Progress" is what led to ships crossing oceans, which led to more wars, more colonizing and the intercontinental slave trade. Conservatives of each generation largely want to be left alone, to work, raise a family, and mind their own business. Then the Progressives come around and stir things up. Whenever that happens, they throw the baby out with the bath water and make something unforeseen (by them) way worse, while trying to make something else better. You're guilty of this, yourself. You talk about trying to do things the "best way." The best way was for people to live in small groups, minding their own business, living whatever life they could make for themselves. "Progress" has been the opposite of that, throughout history. Arrogant morons who think they know better than the next guy how that guy should live. It's asinine.

The players who initially took a knee this year did so primarily because they thought Kapernick's contract was not renewed for legitimately supporting a cause (which it wasn't). The next wave did it because Trump said not to (toddlers or teenagers? your call). In case you hadn't noticed, for all of the coverage this has gotten, virtually none of it has looked into any correlation between police shootings and systemic racism. Why? Because that's not what it's about. Kapernick helped hamstring BLM by turning the spotlight on himself. If he was any kind of BLM supporter, he would have come out and redirected the message by now. He hasn't. His name is all over the place and that's all he was looking for.

  3798. A relative handful of rich slave owners want to fight to keep their slaves. They don't have the numbers. They start a campaign, telling all of the poor people around them that the Federal government wants to come in and take away more of their freedom and independence. That they should form a new Country with more freedom. Poor people line up with whatever arms they can muster, to fight for the freedom they feel is threatened. Generations later, the descendants of the poor who fought that war defend their ancestors as having fought for independence. The main thing that separates the Revolutionary War from the Civil War in the hearts and minds of the masses, is that keeping slavery wasn't a primary concern for the slave owners who started the Revolutionary War. The Southerners who defend the Confederacy tend not to be the descendants of rich slave owners. They're the descendants of poor people who got sold a bill of goods. Southerners are a proud people. They're not going to throw great-great-grandaddy under the bus just because some Northerners want to attribute the motives of a handful of greedy, rich, slave owners, to him. No, sir. That simply will not stand. To their mind, great-great-grandaddy was a good, hard-working, salt-of-the-earth, Southerner. He fought for Southern independence, and no amount of commentary from a bunch of rich Northerners is going to change their mind on the subject. This is the core of why there is still animosity over this subject, today. It is only made worse by the glib remarks about Southerners just being a bunch of racists for not denouncing the Confederacy. Someone else mentioned that the South is an honor society. That's true. They're not going to denounce their family over the opinions of strangers.

  3826.  @timogul  A) My point is that relying on the idea that others will protect you is naive. That the ability for people to take up arms in defense of themselves and their home is fundamental to the very right to live. B) I'm fully aware of the second amendment of the Constitution. The "well regulated" portion refers to the militia - not the gun ownership - and in the common definition of the time, meant properly functioning, not heavily restricted. C) That Constitution you referred to was written by those who never wanted the government to have a standing army. The fact that the US military is the largest in the world goes against the founding principles of the Country. The people were only ever to be called to service during a time of war. Perhaps that's why the government has made sure to stick its nose in every conflict they could find; to keep people from thinking about that fact too hard. I mean, if the US is surrounded by enemies, it becomes unreasonable to tell the government to disband their military until the next war. D) US civilian gun ownership is not the detriment. US socioeconomic strife is the number one cause of gun violence (drug/gang/poverty related crime). Depression is the next in line (suicide). Significantly reducing just those two factors would leave the US with roughly 600,000,000 civilian guns and a violent crime rate similar to Canada, the UK, Australia, etc. Unfortunately, those in control of the most populous cities (those with the highest poverty, depression, drug abuse, and gang presence) seem to be bent on keeping things exactly the way they are. I guess it's easier to write more gun laws, than it is to better the lives of those who are suffering to the point of feeling the need to turn to violence...

Because they had high doses of a carcinogen in them. That's right, Pfizer's way of helping you avoid cancer is to...give you cancer.

  3836. The one singing wasn't exactly wrong. Gender is just pretend. By that, I obviously mean that the currently accepted idea that gender is a separable thing from sex, and that it has anything to do with your feelings...is just pretend. They made that up. Also, since gender is just pretend, there is no reason to use it on legal documentation, or to determine what bathroom, locker room, sport teams, etc is appropriate for anyone. I very much agree with that song. Sex is the determining factor for these things and gender is a word we started using as a synonym for sex, because it's a less vulgar word to use in mixed company. That's all.

  3839. "Why shouldn't this book be in schools?" Because it has incestuous child rape and strap-on dildos in it. "Okay but...what's the author's name?!" Irrelevant. "Why shouldn't a Liberal parent be able to say that their kid should have access to this book?" Nobody said they can't. If they feel that strongly about it, the public library system exists, as well as numerous retailers that distribute books. So, why does incestuous child rape need to be in school books?

  3844. Notice they're insisting on reducing nicotine but not tar. The tar is the amalgam of chemicals that give you cancer, heart disease, lung disease, etc. Nicotine has similar effects on the body to caffeine. By reducing the nicotine, they're just going to make people smoke twice as much, which will only serve to increase health problems. In short, Joe Biden and the FDA are trying to kill people.

  3857. I'm guessing you're young. Okay, here's a thought exercise. If you rent a mini storage and put a bunch of stuff in there, is it yours? Do you deserve to have it, even though you don't choose to use it right now? If you're still paying your monthly rental (the way these people are still paying their property taxes and mortgages) does someone have the right to go and take your stuff out of your storage unit? I mean, if you didn't want that stuff, one would think you would sell it or give it away. So, why is it okay for someone to think you shouldn't have it, just because you're saving it to use later in your life? Are you not allowed to save things for later? How about money? If you decide to open a savings account and put money away for a few years, can I have it? If not, why? You weren't doing anything with it for a long time. By your logic, that means I should be able to just empty your and everyone else's savings accounts, right?

  3870. "If you're unvaccinated...a Winter of severe illness and death..." Really? Are you sure? The top symptoms in the vast majority of both vaccinated and unvaccinated, basically read like the label on a bottle of Robitussin. Runny nose, cough (mild), scratchy throat, headache, fatigue, body aches...the basic cold/flu symptoms. They don't even seem to be losing their taste/smell at any measurable rate, like with the others variants. Look, I get it. This is your last chance to scare people into getting their government-funded pharmaceuticals, before the cat is out of the bag. How many shares of Pfizer do you own at this point? Or is it simply that they've offered you a high paying job if you manage to keep this going for another X years? Either way, you're all done. People are seeing the numbers. Omicron spreads ridiculously fast and hits with all the force of a wet spaghetti noodle in the vast majority of cases. This is our Winter of transformation. Virtually everyone is getting COVID this time around and virtually everyone is going to survive it. By this time next year, any variant that's left will be a seasonal cold. We're witnessing the beginning of the end, which is why you folks are all Hellfire and brimstone over it. Your control is slipping away before your eyes, along with your kickbacks. Too bad, so sad. You'll have to find some other way to scare people into giving you more power and money.

  3880. "Black women have the highest rate of abortion." Yes, that's exactly what Margaret Sanger wanted. - An open racist comes up with a plan to keep black Americans from reaching the same population numbers as white Americans - to keep them from having any real voting power. - Democrats (the Party that brought you slavery, Jim Crow, the KKK, and Margaret Sanger herself) continue to support the organization she built (Planned Parenthood) well into the 21st century. - Democrats keep predominantly black city centers impoverished, to keep black people from feeling like they should have more kids. - Planned Parenthood continues to ensure black Americans never get enough numbers to make a real difference. This is what you're fighting for. You're fighting to carry on the legacy of eugenics in America. You're openly supporting the work of someone who could have been on a bowling team with the likes of Dr. Mengele.

Now he has a loving wife and two wonderful children. Shall I tell his kids that "George Martinez" says they shouldn't exist because their father should have been aborted? Should I tell his wife that her happiness is an illusion because she's married to someone who should never have been born? You're a disgusting person.

  3900. The trans community seems to conflate sex and gender quite a bit. Your birth certificate and driver's license declare a person's sex, yet the trans community has been fighting (and winning) the battle to be able to put their gender on those documents. In Canada for instance, you can have your gender identity on your driver's license now and you can have the sex line on your children's birth certificates left blank until they're old enough to decide for themselves. If sex and gender are different, then what is there to decide?

We're armed to the teeth and duty bound to use those arms against tyranny. We also have a military that is sworn to defend the people from all enemies, foreign and domestic - and to disobey any unlawful order. This isn't Venezuela, North Korea, Hong Kong, etc. We're gonna be fine.

I'm already seeing people screaming about respecting the psycho's pronouns and not "deadnaming" her. I think this one might end up being their Hail Mary play.

  3905. Nobody ever got popcorn lung from vaping. There is more diacetyl in Marlboro 100s than there was in even the most buttery flavored eliquid. Even so, the vaping community/industry did away with using diacetyl without a single case occuring and without even a hint of government oversight. What you're talking about was Evali. Evali was caused by vitamin E acetate - that was in Chinese THC cartridges, not nicotine eliquid. There has never been even a moderate disease linked to nicotine vaping. Also, this isn't about supporting the US vaping industry. It's about supporting the US tobacco companies' vape products. There are hundreds of small, American businesses making mods, tanks, and eliquid. They're all being trampled on by the FDA's regulations. Only the large companies can afford to get through the approval process. Most of those companies are foreign, while two or three are here and are owned (in some capacity) by big tobacco companies. I respect your opinions, Styx. However, in this case, you sound like a MSNBC viewer. Please do some real research into vaping before speaking on the subject.

We don't actually need California's agriculture. It could all stop tomorrow and we'd still have plenty of food. C) Is California going to use its $200,000,000,000 over taxing (ahem) "surplus" to pay for this pipeline...or expect the Federal government to pay for it? I wouldn't worry too much. By the time people are done fleeing from California's insane policies and the politicians bully out the farmers after buying up their water rights, you and the few people left will have plenty of water.

  3913. Strangefacekid A lot of people buy that many weapons in a year. The FBI and ATF have finite resources for investigating those people. This man was a millionaire in his 60s with no priors. Even if he popped up on their radar, he would have ended up near the bottom of a very long list of people to track. Then they would go back to tracking the "militia" groups in the midwest and near the border and the new Black Panthers. This wasn't the kind of guy who makes anyone raise an eyebrow. His father's history may have given them pause for a second but again, not enough to merit resources. A retirement aged guy spending lots of money on his hobby, out in the Nevada desert. Nothing out of the ordinary. Waco had plenty of other things that made it climb to the top of the list besides buying a lot of guns.

Out on the dunes, a winch isn't nearly as useful as lockers. You spend most of your time far from a winch point. That's why most of those rigs carry Maxx Traxx. You're far more likely to be able to get yourself out with locking diffs and some tracks than with a winch. They're just two entirely different types of wheeling. Meanwhile, they put front and rear lockers on the Rubicon - which is a trail rig that's far more likely to be near trees to winch from. If they can put them on the Rubi, they should definitely be putting at least one on the Mojave. It only makes sense.

You presume to know for whom I voted when I've not made even a hint that I voted for either of the two bumblers. You accuse me of being taken for a ride by a President for whom I didn't vote, and of undermining our democracy. Why? Because I pointed out your incorrect use of the popular vote. I was trying to help you look less ignorant in your future conversations. Apparently, that wasn't in the cards. Have a nice life.

Plus, just because you're not allowed to sublet, doesn't mean you didn't do so. That means they could get you evicted from your apartment for violating your lease, simply by claiming you sublet to them. It's your word against theirs and the law protects them.

  3950. Find me any location in the US that hasn't had a racial issue attached to it - especially in the South. Go ahead, I'll wait. Oh, you can't? That's what I thought. Newsflash: This Country had slavery and then Jim Crow. There were racial atrocities being committed all over the Country. This included injustice at every courthouse, town hall, etc. "iT's A rAcIsT sPoT" is some BS and you know it. Even California - which didn't allow slavery - was complicit in allowing slave owners to bring their slaves with them when they went. Why? Because "property rights." Yeah, even California saw slaves as property. There is no clean ground. Either learn to deal with that fact or move. If you choose the latter, know that there isn't a single nation on Earth that is free of historical atrocities. Leave the man alone. Neither the song, nor the video, is racist. I promise, it's meant as a threat to scumbags of all races.

We know that politicians will take bribes to look the other way. We demanded the change, anyway. Enjoy the microplastics that are in your food, water, and even in your own muscle tissue, now.

Who is the bigger bully: the kid who pushes a kid in a locker because he's having troubles at home, or the kid who shoots other kids because of troubles he's having at school? "But he was bullied" is a cop-out. Hundreds of millions of people have been bullied and we don't kill people over it.

  3963. Now do the same poll but ask them if they even know what Roe v. Wade decided and what the prevailing law of the land on the subject of abortion is (hint: it's not Roe v. Wade). Most Americans who are asked that question think Roe v. Wade is about a woman's right to choose. It's not. It declares a woman's right to privacy over her medical records. That, of course, is a ridiculous premise, given that you can't legally have doctor assisted suicide in most of the US, even thought that, too, is a medical procedure. It's made more moot by the current trend of requiring people to prove vaccination status (medical information) to non-government and non-medical personnel. A majority don't want Roe v. Wade overturned because they have been convinced by the media and the talking heads on the Left that doing so would make abortion illegal in the US. It wouldn't. It would simply return the right to make legislation about abortions to the individual States. Then, just like with anything States have authority over, they would create different laws for each State. The blue States would still have blue abortion laws, the red States would have red abortion laws and, as always, the purple States would have a lot of debate on the subject. Those who don't support their State laws would mostly move to other States, just like they do now. Life would go on. P.S. The Supreme Court Justices are not Party affiliates. Not sure why you're talking about the GOP.

Even if Bush had done it, thry would have acknowledged (begrudgingly) that it was a good thing. The world has spiraled out of control. Disclaimer: Yes, I will put you down you as a drug dealer if you're a child trafficker. You're obviously not interested in having a lawful, upright business. You're probably sending the same child slaves to school yards to peddle your product to other kids.

  3978. I don't disagree that they should look at exceptions for rape and incest. I do disagree with him claiming that the SCOTUS decision created this ban in Kentucky. This law was written before Dobbs was ever a thing. It was written so that it would apply as soon as Roe was overturned. Even RBG knew that was inevitable - and she voted for Roe. The real issue is that Democrats in Congress have had 50 years to codify abortion laws. They didn't because they liked fearmongering about Republicans overturning Roe. All of the Democrats in office today are just as responsible as the SCOTUS Justices for this situation. Maybe it really is time for a Third Party.

  3989. Plug-in hybrids are the right way to go but politics is involved, so it has become gas vs electric. If people could buy affordable vehicles that would drive them to work and back on batteries they charge at home, but still be able to stop at a gas station when they need to do longer runs, that would be huge. People would use electricity almost exclusively. Most folks go to work, the store, and home on most days. That's it. A vehicle with a 40-50 mile range on its batteries is all that's needed for the majority of use. Then, the gas engine would get used for longer haul stuff, which happens much less frequently. It's going to get worse before it gets better. They're going to screw up thr mwrket by forcing out gas vehicles too soon. The infrastructure for EVs isn't there and it isn't going to get there. We're going to be sitting in the dark, waiting for the rolling blackouts to stop, while our power companies tell us to plug our cars into our houses and use up the only fuel our cars have, to run our furnaces.

That's not even getting into the gas powered tools. All-in-all, I'd say that cordless will get the job done most of the time, any more. However, I think a whole lot of homeowners are wasting a lot of money on various cordless tools. Most homeowners and DIYers would do well to buy a decent extension cord for $20 and then fill their garage with corded tools...and one cordless drill.

  3992. Actually, if you add up the Federally controlled lands and the privately owned land in California, the vast majority of those who own this State have no interest in leaving the US. The majority who do, are people who are renting someone else's property. They can leave whenever they want and it won't bother those of us who own this State, at all. I'm not really sure what's stopping them. If I wanted to leave, I'd have to give up my land. If they leave, they can take everything they own with them.

The number one thing that gets black people killed is their parents. These kids get it pounded into them that they need to fear the police. Then, when they actually have to interact with police, they act erratic and jumpy and make the police think they're hiding something. The situation snowballs quickly and suddenly, they're another headline. Not saying this is always the case or that it's the victim's fault.

I mean, sure, they _could use welfare programs to keep people down and ensure they vote for the party that always promises to increase the funding of such things but they don't. Why?

That means that in your personal life, you may associate (or not) with anyone you choose, for any reason. Whether or not you find that distasteful is irrelevant. B. At no point did he refuse to associate with this reporter. He asked that she bring a male along with her on the 16 hour trip, so they would not be alone. In that case, neither one would have to worry about "he said, she said" if something happened. If a woman asked for a third party to be there to ensure nothing happened to her, that would be a completely acceptable request and nobody would bat an eye. C. Arguing against a simple request to have a witness along is like arguing against police and citizens using cameras during their interactions, to protect them from false allegations or abuse. Would you be just as upset if he insisted on them having cameras record the entire trip? D. Given how hard this reporter is pushing to turn this into a major issue, I'd say he was 100% correct in his desire to protect himself. She was given one, simple request in order to monopolize 16 hours of his time and rather than either agreeing or refusing, she wants to drag him over the coals on national TV for it. I can't even imagine what she would come up with after 16 hours alone with him. Be mad if you want but it doesn't change anything. He had every right to ask for a witness and her behavior after the fact proves he was right to do so, in her case. She wasn't denied anything but when given the choice, she chose to play the part of the victim instead of playing the part of the journalist. You can thank people like her for creating the atmosphere in which more men feel like they need to protect themselves from mudslinging. Especially men with a lot to lose.

Nobody said they don't. However, there was a time when I would have chosen Portland over those other cities. Not any more. That really says all that needs to be said. Portland is just another in a long list of bad cities, now. It didn't used to be, by your own implication.

We've already covered the fact that big cities are, more or less, just horrible. The curve you're grading on is hilarious! You're just saying that Portland is the dumpster fire you prefer over the others. I've got news for you; there's a great, big Country out there. You don't actually have to choose to live in a dumpster fire. Also, I wasn't quoting you, I was paraphrasing. You don't use quotation marks when paraphrasing. It is, however, perfectly acceptable to use the apostrophe in place of quotations when doing so. I shouldn't have to explain that but then, you're the kind of guy who uses "too" at the end of "You don't have too" (see, I quoted you there, so it was appropriate to use quotation marks). Given that fact, I can understand how alternative uses for common punctuation might be beyond you.

In 1989, the Department of Commerce promulgated regulations implementing this law at 15 CFR part 1150. 54 FR 19356 (May 5, 1989). In 2013, the Department of Commerce moved those regulations to 15 CFR part 272. 78 FR 4764 (January 23, 2013).

  4083. Depends on your budget, time and willingness to put in extra work. Our dog is 135 lbs. He eats a lot but I do a lot to keep the price manageable. He gets 7-8 cups of premium kibble as a base and I supplement with grocery store vegetables and meats. A lot of the meat that's good for homemade dog food is actually pretty cheap. The pre-processed raw diet chub for dogs is really expensive but making your own and keeping an eye on deals can save a lot of money (plus, standards for our food are higher than those for dog food, so it's healthier for them). I'm not saying he's cheap to feed, or that it's not much cheaper to feed a small dog but I'm a working class guy who has no problem keeping his big dog fed.

You can't have the right to do something if you don't have the freedom to provide the means for yourself. The issue at hand is that more and more people seem to think it's the responsibility of the law abiding to prove that they are law abiding before being able to exercise a right. This is patently false, as is outlined by the very structure of our criminal justice system. I'm tired of being guilty until I prove myself innocent. We were never meant to live like that. Deal with the criminals, not the rest of us. If you can't figure out how to run a free society without trampling on the rights of regular citizens, step down from your position.

However, since it's not an actual "military spec" knife, it would never be issued to soldiers. It only looks like a military knife but won't function the same (hence the word "style" is used). Likewise, an AR-15 does not function the same as the M4 or M16, so they are just look-alikes. The sad part is, California's ban included rifles that didn't even look like any existing military spec rifles, so couldn't really be called military "style."

  4108. @lucky leprechaun A) I'm sorry that you don't like analogies, or understand how they work. B) Suicide should definitely be legal. People should have the right to take their own life. They should not have the right to take someone else's life. C) Why do Feminists pretend to be intersectional and then, as soon as abortion comes up, completely disregard all of the men who can get pregnant? You're either a trans ally or you're not. D) By your reasoning, "men" (by your definition of the word) should have no say in education, school shootings, child care, or anything else having to do with children. Perhaps we should use your own reasoning further. Since most "women" who have abortions have never had a child prior, your reasoning dictates that they shouldn't have a say in abortion (or anything else pertaining to children,) either. After all, they don't have any more firsthand knowledge of pregnancy or childbirth than the average "man," right? Oops. E) You're wrong. Men are restricted by the same laws as women. The difference is that most men don't have a choice to have a child, with the exception of trans-men (though, that term is really just a way to differentiate men with a uterus from those without). You're claiming some kind of victim status when you're the one with options. Even if this decision goes through and the laws get punted back to the States, you're still going to have the choice because most politicians know it's political suicide to ban abortions in 2022. Most men still won't have a choice. If they want kids, they have to hope to some day find someone with whom they can. Then, they have to hope that person doesn't abort their child and that they don't try to claim full custody. Meanwhile, all you have to do to have a kid is claim you're on the pill. All you have to do to avoid having a kid (or an abortion) is to actually be on said pill. We both know who has the real power in all of this.

Instead, they want to decide who gets healthcare, based on who they deem virtuous. It's just another way to control people. My father has COPD. Of course, he smoked for a good portion of his life. Cigarette addiction doesn't get the same sympathy as other substance addictions, so they would decide he should lose treatment and die. In a universal healthcare system, I have no power to stop it, short of flying him to another Country. Because they don't have that power, my sister and I can help pay to keep him alive and living as best as can be expected. They want to take that power away from me and give it to a panel of bureaucrats. No thanks.

I never said that you were telling doctors how to do triage. I'm saying it's not okay for the government to do so. I'm sure you've seen stories about doctors who are getting callous toward the unvaccinated. I'm sure you could also find doctors who are getting callous toward people who smoke, eat badly, etc. There's a big difference between "There are some doctors who may be biased" and "Everyone who makes health choices we disagree with will be treated as second class citizens, as a matter of official policy."

That kind of construction is incredibly expensive. A one bed, one bath, 900 sq/ft home would cost over half a million dollars to build. Virtually nobody in Kentucky could afford that. Meanwhile, the vast majority don't need a house built to that spec. Tornadoes in Kentucky almost never do this kind of damage. This is a freak storm event. Do you really want everyone in Kentucky to be homeless during the next storm because they can't afford your spiffy, new houses? No thanks. That's what storm cellars and insurance are for.

  4128. Cool. Let's say we go ahead and ban all guns tomorrow. There are currently about 650 million guns in the US. Not on store shelves or in warehouses. That's 650 million guns in homes and on the streets. Let's go ahead an pretend that you can get people to turn in 150 million of those guns (and believe me, I'm being generous). That's 500 million guns circulating and now everyone who has one is a felon. Overnight, you've created the exact conditions to start a civil war...AND you didn't even make a dent in the number of guns out there. Gun control in the US is a fantasy. The guns have been here since we were British colonies. Why, then, are mass shootings ramping up at this point in history? In the early 80s and prior, we had easy access to actual automatic weapons (not the pretender semi-autos we have now) and we didn't have this insane number of mass shootings. Weird, huh? It's almost as though the guns aren't the actual cause of the violence. As soon as people stop pretending they can do anything about the guns, we can start the real work. Once we start looking at the things that have caused so many people to get comfortable with mass murder, then we can start addressing those things and turn the tide. Until that happens, it will just be more pain, followed by more clamoring for asinine "solutions" that won't change anything.

  4133. @Rocky Mountain Way Wow, okay. We'll do this. "Return YouTube Dislike" was the best of the three for the most part. "Dislikes for YouTube" was the one working best on the last day they functioned (yesterday) before YouTube made some background changes that broke all three. It was no surprise that they were going to stop working at some point yesterday, as they advertised as much in their descriptions, at one point or another. Don't worry, though. They're actively working on trying to get around the new coding, so that those who choose to can again see the dislike count. As for your claims about them only restoring dislikes to older videos, that was only true for about five minutes (not literally, so don't be stupid) before the better two (named above) received updates. At that point, all videos showed current dislike counts, no matter how old. Of course, you likely read a half-assed article on some crappy tech site about them - back when they first hit the Web Store - so I'm sure you know more about it than someone who was actually using them for the past week... I do like how you tried to skew the argument by asking about which one is "currently" working...after the cutoff point when they stopped working. I'm sure I was supposed to know less about it than you and as such, panic when I "found out" they weren't working any more. Oops, sorry. I guess I spoiled that one. The funny thing is, with as hostile as you are about this, I have to assume you've got skin in the game. Are you one of the useless idiots at YouTube who came up with the terrible idea of getting rid of dislikes? Or are you one of the terrible content creators who benefit from it? If the latter, you know it's not going to stop you from seeing your dislikes, right? You'll still know you suck. EDIT: And just like that, "Dislikes For YouTube" is already back to working properly. Proper tallies for all videos, new and old. I just thought I'd share, since you're so concerned about it.

Of course, no amount of shots will make anyone fully protected because these aren't actually vaccines but I digress.

Either way, there is zero moral fiber in this person.

  4145. Nah, because even for occasional storm cleanup, you're going to need more than 9 minutes of runtime. When that can cost you $65-$250 for an extra battery versus putting another gallon of gas (even at California's $5+ per gallon) it takes a very long time to justify a battery-powered saw. Gas saws are still king - especially when those same storms knock out the power, so you can't recharge your batteries easily. Just ask those hit by the hurricanes how they felt about FEMA sending them battery-powered saws to cut their way out of the mountains. Gas is still king but it's nice that people with plenty of money and not a lot of trees to cut, have new toys to play with.

Even when other countries offer the children citizenship to try to help them, the government refuses and forces the parents to sit by while their child dies.

The settlement was the result of allegations that Pfizer falsely promoted the drugs Bextra Valdecoxib Tablets, Geodon Capsules, Lyrica Pregabalin, and Zyvox. Pfizer was also accused of paying kickbacks and submitting false claims to the government.  The settlement was the largest healthcare fraud settlement in the history of the Department of Justice at the time. Pfizer also agreed to a corporate integrity agreement with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services.

  4158. "40% of books reported are specifically addressing LGBT issues." Okay. So, I would start by asking why the authors of those books felt that they needed to include sexually explicit/inappropriate material in these books. Did they not intend them for school children? If not, they shouldn't be in school libraries. If they are meant for kids, they should follow the same content guidelines as the books that aren't banned. Also, 40% is less than half. That would mean that, potentially, 60% of the books removed dealt with heterosexual issues and were found to be too graphic for kids. Does she not understand how math works? I would hold the authors of those books to the same standards. Why did they feel the need to include inappropriate material in their books? Are these adult books or children's books? Do they belong in a school library or not? Equality is very important to me. I take issue with anyone who is trying to sexualize children, regardless of race, religion, creed, national origin, or sexual proclivity.

  4165.  @Yuuzas_Ei  I didn't say there were billions. I said there were nearly half a billion. Roughly 450 million by last count. Why are you embellishing an already high number? But to answer your question, it's because guns are durable goods - not disposable, and Americans buy what other countries might considsr to be a lot of guns. It's actually not hard to get to this number. If you're a multi-generational American, it's almost a certainty that you come from previous generations who had guns. When taken care of, guns last indefinitely. So, you get family heirloom guns that may have been your father's, grandfather's, great-grandfather's, etc. You grew up shooting those guns and you like them but you also want something smaller, like a handgun. Also, there's this new turkey shotgun you've been drooling over. Not to mention the deer rifle you've had since your dad first took you hunting. That's at least five guns right there, and you're not even an avid shooter. Then there's that carbine you've been wanting aince your buddy let you shoot his at the range last month. Then, of course there's your trusty .22, that has taken out many a varmint and is the cheapest way to spend time at the range. We're up to at least seven now, and you're still just a hobbyist. There are over 130,000,000 lawful gun owners in the US. It's actually shocking that there are only 450,000,000 guns in circulation. Reduce everyone to just one gun and that's still 130,000,000 legally owned firearms. Those numbers don't include all the ones the criminals have.

Feeling "horny" is the body trying to tell you to mate, and have children. Your question is as ridiculous as asking "So driving should be seen as a punishment for putting gas in your car? No, it should be seen as the obvious effect of your actions. If you want to get pleasure without getting pregnant, there are a multitude of options that can't result in sperm fertilizing an egg. Give those a try. Otherwise, what you're doing is called procreation for a reason.

  4189. This just means the lenders - that repossessed all of those vehicles that they sold to people who they knew weren't going to be able to pay their loan - are seeing that the interest rates are high enough that they're willing to sell them off at a loss. They know that when those vehicles sell again, they'll make their money back and then some. Meanwhile, the poor schmucks who got duped into panic-buying vehicles at insanely inflated prices are left holding the bag, as far as any remainder to the debt. They just did to car buyers what the mortgage companies did to home buyers before the last recession. The difference is, nobody is talking about punishing car dealers and lenders (not that they actually punished the mortgage companies but at least it was a topic of discussion).

  4204. That's why there's so little racism. Scratch the surface and you'll find a lot of class-based bigotry, though. That's the actual root of racism. People have an innate need to group up and feel superior to others. Race-based judgement is easiest because you can see a difference most easily. When there's a history that has kept certain groups poor, it ties the bigotry together in a neat, little bow. I live in a very white city. The cops here don't bully black folks much because there aren't too many to bully (and the ones who are here are mostly middle class). The cops do love circling the many trailer parks, though. The bored, middle and upper class white people here don't complain about black folks, either. They complain about the "white trash" on the other side of town (even though most of that "trash" is just poor people, struggling to pay their bills and feed their kids). The poor people hate them right back, because they have more (regardless of whether they worked for what they have). Hate is hate. It's never going to go away. It'll just change forms as needed.

  4214. Your implication seems to be that one must care about all life equally in order to be "Pro-Life." I would argue that is untrue. For instance, I feel that a person's life is valuable. I care about that life insofar as I feel they have a right to live their life. However, if said person does something directly opposed to maintaining their life, that does decrease its value in my eyes, as it clearly does not mean that much to them (and since one's own life should matter most to one's self, I have no reason to hold it in higher esteem). Non-human lives hold varying degrees of value to me. Granted, all living things presumably care about their own existence. I just don't happen to hold them on the same plane as human life. I consider that fair, since most species on earth hold their own species' existence higher than that of other species. I have empathy for lesser lives, in that I don't believe in torture or inhumanity of lesser creatures, if it can reduced or avoided. Yes, I do eat meat and feel that it is necessary. Yes, I do prefer to eat meat I have harvested myself from wild game. Why? Because I feel that a good life followed by a quick death is better than a miserable life followed by any type of death. Furthermore, I have yet to have anyone explain to me how a well placed bullet is somehow a worse death than disease, starvation, or being torn apart by coyotes (which are the leading causes of death in most game animals). Now, on to the issue at hand: Abortion. The way I see it, at some point between fertilization and birth, an egg becomes a person. We quibble back and forth about when that being becomes a being, mainly because there is not a definitive answer. Oh, people claim to know the answer but really, they're going with the opinion that best fits their position. There is no scientific consensus on the beginning of life. There really isn't even consensus on viability, since that is a moving target. As technology gets better, viability becomes possible earlier. There is no easy answer to when a person becomes a person. That leads to my philosophy on the subject (which is just one more voice in a sea of voices, all shouting out on the subject). If a person's life is valuable (which, I feel it is) and we can't determine when that life begins, then we simply shouldn't...for now. Why risk making the mistake of ending human life when we don't have to? Why not allow them to become people, with their own will, who can then determine for themselves the value of their lives? Why not give them the choice? Their mother and father had choices? They had four of them: Abstinence, contraception, adoption, and parenthood. Are four choices not enough for the 99%+ who are having abortions after consensual sex with non-family members? Why do they get five and the other person involved doesn't get any? That seems incredibly imbalanced to me. Now, if at some point down the road, they come up with the answer to when life begins, we could definitely revisit the subject. In fact, at that point, I would happily back legislation that allows abortions before the point of life. I believe that all rights belong to the people, except in the case that said rights interfere with those of others (the "Your right to swing your arm ends where my face begins" philosophy). The problem here is that with abortions, they're indiscriminately swinging their arms and not even concerning themselves with whether they're hitting someone else's face. Sorry for the lengthy reply but I felt your comment deserved a thoughtful response.

  4215.  @axiomhi8549  My only thought is that I feel like I've seen a different cross-section of pro-lifers than you have. I would say that all encompass some of the ideals you mentioned but that very few encompass all of them. I would also contend that many wouldn't see their positions on those subjects to be anti-life (for lack of a better word). The real disconnect occurs when you get to the root of the two, competing philosophies. Those of whom you speak are largely in the camp of individualism, whereas those opposed are typically collectivists. A collectivist feels everyone is everyone's responsibility. An individualist feels that everyone is responsible for themselves. When two positions are diametrically opposed, there is no way for them to find common ground, really. The collectivists will always feel that individualists are wrong for not wanting to be made to pay for others. Individualists will always think collectivists are wrong for wanting to force them to pay for others. More people need to realize this fundamental difference and more importantly, not dismiss the other out of hand. Neither is an objectively incorrect philosophy. They are two different ways of looking at the world. The vast majority of people don't even fit completely into the two. Most people believe in some collectivist structure and some individual freedom. The amount of each varies greatly from person to person but most people lean at least a touch more towards one. Understanding is our only way forward. We've tried the whole "picking teams" nonsense and it has gotten us nowhere. We're more divided than ever before. If we keep this up, it's not going to matter who is pro-this or pro-that, because we're going to be killing each other in the streets. Just my $0.02.

Why are they busy tweaking the same flawed formula when they should be working on a real vaccine that works as well as every other vaccine? Oh, that's right. They're currently getting people on a three month cycle for boosters. What else happens on a three month cycle? Oh, that's right; quarterly earnings reports! Funny how that works. They came up with vaccines that just happen to keep them getting paid quarterly. One has to assume that the politicians they're paying off are also receiving their bribes quarterly. What a convenient cycle of giving tax dollars to giant corporations and crooked politicians.

Meanwhile, I've come across some truly scummy guys lurking in the woods. Cracked-out weirdos who are much more aggressive and much less predictable than a bear. Either way, if you own, train with, and carry a firearm, you're far less likely to fall victim to a bear or a man.

Most States in the Union would have their median income drastically shift, simply by having a few billionaires move there. I wonder what New York, California, etc's median incomes would look like if not for the super-elites who make so very much money every year. I'd be willing to bet the numbers would be shocking to most people. Likewise, if a handful of said elites were to decide to move to, say, Kentucky...I'd bet they'd move nearly off the list (if not off it completely). Meanwhile, I'd rather my family and I be living off $30,000/year in Kentucky, Tennessee, etc, than trying to survive off the same amount in California. "Poverty" is a net that's cast pretty wide in these discussions.

  4333. How do people not understand that this is on purpose? These politicians aren't actually stupid. They're being very specific. They're only doing this in the fast food industry. Why? Because it allows them to pander to the simpletons who vote for them while burying only the fast food companies. They keep getting elected by those who love them for doing this. Meanwhile, when all of the fast food companies go under, they get to claim they were responsible for making Californians "healthier." If they actually thought this was a fiscally viable plan, they would be doing it for healthcare workers, grocery store clerks, etc. They know it won't work out, so they're protecting those who they actually need.

These were adults with agency and an ingrained compulsion to do whatever was necessary to save children. You kept them out to "preserve any further loss of life" (I have to assume you meant 'prevent,' not 'preserve'). If parents want to risk their lives for their children GET THE F#CK OUT OF THEIR WAY. You even dared to blame the fact that they weren't armed?! LAWS CREATED AND BACKED BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON PARENTS DON'T HAVE GUNS WITH THEM WHILE THE SHOOTERS DO, YOU PIECE OF SH#T! A warning to all law enforcement: Don't do that again. If you stand between us and saving our children, you're going to lose. If you're not going to deal with these situations, we will. You can stand aside or we can go through you. It's your choice.

I get that we're supposed to be playing some ridiculous political football game, where everyone cheers for their "team" but trying to associate the actions of a madman with your opposition is asinine. Hitler wasn't a "Far-Right Fascist" or a "Far-Left Socialist." Hitler was everything bad that exists within humanity, rolled up into one man. His various actions and orders can be divided up among the sides and distributed like hate-mongering playing cards. How about we all work on agreeing that he was a monster and just move on? This division really is going to destroy us. Anyone who is still peddling such - instead of looking for ways to fix the divide - is actively working towards our destruction. I don't want my beloved country to end up a footnote of history, like Rome. If you want to debate legitimate issues, great. Playing the "No, Hitler was on your team" game is just disgusting.

Nowhere in that framework did they give your agency permission to exist. Likewise, they never gave the Federal government the authority to create your agency or to enact firearm restrictions. At no point since then did the States or the People allow for an amendment that grants that authority. You are illegal. Your agency is illegal. Every "law" and "rule" your agency ever enforced is illegal. The "law" Congress passed 90 years ago that gave you any freedom to interpret laws is illegal. Go away.

The fact that your analogy doesn't at all account for the ability to talk to women and learn anything about them really tells me all I need to know. Like grabbing candy from a bowl, you invest just as much time in a relationship; you see which color looks appealing, pick one up, and feed your craving. It's really no wonder that you're worried about being cheated on. You offer nothing to fulfill the needs of the other person. Women aren't candy. The sooner you learn that, the better of you'll be.

  4372. It's almost as though political leanings consist of incredibly diverse groups of people, who mostly just vote the same because of a lack of options in our two party system. Kinda like how my sister votes blue because she is pro-choice but that doesn't mean she thinks men can be women. It's not like she has any options for candidates who actually support what she believes, so she chooses a handful of issues and supports the party that is least repugnant to those ends. If we had 3-5 viable parties in this country, you would see a very different split. That won't happen, though. The Dems and Repubs are both great at scaring people into sticking with the chosen party. Every election cycle they both roll out doom and gloom campaign. "You'll split the vote! The other side will win and bring about the end of the world! Doom! If you don't vote for us, you're voting against us! You'll be responsible for everything bad that happens! Shame!"

Yeah, that sounds about as rational as anything else you've said. The difference between you and me is that I hold people responsible for their own actions and statements. Only an ignorant bigot lumps an entire race together and judges them by the worst of the group. Thank you for your reply. You've managed to solidify my position nicely. You, Joey Youn, are a racist. An ignorant, hate-filled person who blindly attacks people based on the color of their skin. You're a poor example of a human being. MLK had a dream. You are the antithesis of that dream. You must be so proud. All you need is a pointy hood and you could be a Klansman's counterpart. Try this: say, "THARE GUNNA TAYK AR JOBZ EN RAYP AR WIMMEN!"

When someone challenges me on my racism, I assume they're white...and that most white people are racist! Here's a tirade about things that probably don't apply to you, Charles! However, I've decided you're white, so that means they do! Because white people are racist! How can you claim I lump people together?!" You have done a beautiful job - yet again - of proving my point. Thank you.

  4389. You know, I've been hearing this argument since the 80s. "More Sex Ed and contraception means fewer teen pregnancies." Why, then hasn't that been true? Sex Ed has expanded beyond high school and into middle school. Contraception is available all over the place and is free at any women's clinic. Yet somehow, teens are still getting pregnant. In fact, it has been happening more and more. Most of the schools in the seven different districts I went to were installing or had installed day cares to keep teen moms in school. Now, they're talking about putting one in my son's old middle school. MIDDLE SCHOOL. Twelve and thirteen year olds having kids at a high enough rate to necessitate day cares specifically for them at schools. Meanwhile, abortions have been readily available and are being performed by bus load every day. Somehow, it doesn't seem like Sex Ed is working. Maybe the idea of telling kids "We know you're going to have sex and lots of it, so go ahead and put on this rubber sensation stopper before you do!" is the wrong tact. Maybe, just maybe, it's time to do more than just pass out balloons and hope for the best. Perhaps even focus on responsibility, reality, and expected behavior, rather than pretending that every teen is going to be rebellious. Will it stop all teen pregnancies? Of course not. Can it possibly be any worse than what we're doing now? I highly doubt it.

If you get in their space and they quietly draw a gun and shoot you, they wanted to kill you. Rattlesnakes are the least likely venomous snake to bite you, unless you're foolish enough to ignore the obvious warning.

Well, people who don't believe everything they see on TV, anyway. This was a truly rare event. Given what all has been going on in the world, yes, a terrorist attack would certainly be on the short list of plausible explanations.

  4418. Your opening statement about how firearm transfers work isn't true, Tim. Private transfers are not Federally "restricted" or "relatively rare." The private transfer process you're talking about (FFL background check) is something that exists in some States - like California - but not across the board. Also, even in States like California, long gun transfers to direct family members are exempt. I can give a long gun to my wife, son, father, mother, etc without having to go through a FFL. Handguns have different rules, as always.

NorCal is experiencing actual Spring and Fall now, instead of just two weeks at either end of the Summer that's worthwhile. Yes, there are wildfires but given that the rains are coming back more regularly, this is a temporary issue. There were regular rains into June this year, and even some light ones in July. The climate shift is turning NorCal into an ideal location. Of course there are going to be some growing pains while the climate works out its new normal but it's obvious that NorCal is becoming the place to be while SoCal is going to be Nevada in ten years, or so. The smart money is on selling in the South - while the prices are high - and moving North.

  4437. They measure the torque at the wheels, since there's no flywheel to measure it from. While horsepower gets reduced on its way through the drivetrain, torque is typically increased. It's not at all uncommon for V8 trucks with the proper gear ratio to put out torque numbers even higher than this does, at the wheels. It feels really dishonest that the EV manufacturers don't make this clear.

  4438. That's a good question. Perhaps someone should remind girls and young women of that fact, repeatedly, to help them make good decisions about sex.

People like her don't contribute to society by paying taxes in any meaningful amount. Instead, she pays regular installments to the court.

They officially decided mail-in voting was going to be permanent after the Newsom recall failed. They don't actually need the lock-downs at this point. Newsom is simply pandering to the far Left, to help him when he eventually runs for POTUS.

Now it's big clouds for everyone. F#¢k 'em. As for why I vape, it's because it's the only thing that has ever worked to get me off of my 2 pack a day, 26 year addiction to cigarettes. Anyone who actually studies the research knows it's significantly less harmful to vape than to smoke. It's why the Royal College of Physicians (the same group that was the first to publicly come out against smoking) officially endorses vaping as a smoking cessation method.

Why do Progressives say (even just when called out) that it's okay for minorities to distrust the powers that be but it's not okay for white people to follow suit? That seems like bigotry to me. Like they're being condescending to minorities by holding white people to a higher standard. Question things. No matter what race, sex, religion, etc. that you are. Always question things. Just make sure that when you do, you're actually looking for the real answers to those questions. It's the only correct way forward.

  4524.  @allendean9807  I work at a 501c(3) shelter. We work with anyone needing assistance (food, shelter, employment, pretty much anything). I don't keep the statistics on our clients but we see quite a few who have/had unwanted pregnancies (the fact is, the vast majority of pregnancies in the US are unintentional). The outcome for the unwanted pregnancies that result in a child is that those children have a chance at a life. 100% of the unwanted pregnancies that go the other way result in the children not having a chance at a life. One of my coworkers has been doing this for over twenty years. A lot of the children she has helped keep in contact with her into adulthood. She tells me that more of them have made better of their lives than haven't. That's anecdotal but really, it doesn't matter that it is. Children are growing up and getting the chance to live. That's the single most important right we have. With life, there's hope. Without it, there's none.
    1
  4525.  @allendean9807  Okay, I'm genuinely trying to understand your position. You're saying: - A fetus is not a life, so doesn't have rights. - A mother is a life, so does have rights. - A mother has to carry the burden of either raising or putting a child up for adoption, so she is the only one whose opinion matters. - It's not okay to limit a woman's "right" to an abortion for the sake of the fetus. - We don't have the proper systems in place to care for unwanted children. - People who are pro-life are unilaterally opposed to said systems (even though the last March for Life rally had a fair share of Liberals and Progressives in attendance on the pro-life side). - If said systems were in place, it would then be okay to violate a woman's "right" to an abortion because the kids would have easier lives than under present circumstances. I highlighted the two important bits. Abortion is either a right or it's not. Talking about accommodations as though they are the deciding factor as to what the government does and does not have the authority to control is a flawed argument. Either a woman always has the right to abort a child, or it's merely a medical treatment that can be regulated by the government. It simply cannot be both. Personally, I tend to err on the side of caution. Let me explain: - In more than 99% of cases, women seeking abortions have already had choices they made. Those choices lead to pregnancy because at the end of the day, there is only one natural act that can lead to that result. Cause and effect are pretty straightforward in this matter and Sex Ed starts in middle school for most people. It's an informed decision. - A debate on when something is a fetus, a baby, a toddler, etc is unnecessary. It's a life from the time it starts developing and it's a human because humans don't sometimes create penguins or toaster ovens in their wombs. So, it's a human life. - If someone knowingly chooses the one act that creates a human life and then said act is successful, nobody should be shocked or upset about that. - If a human life matters at all, the circumstances of its upbringing are secondary to its fundamental right to life, itself. Yes, it's good to take care of those in need. Yes, we should definitely be doing better. No, that doesn't mean that anyone who is to be born into bad circumstances should have their life forfeited, "just in case" they might have a hard life. Plenty of people have started out at the bottom. The vast majority don't kill themselves. I take that to mean they'd rather be alive - regardless of how their mother may have felt about them.

Are you aware that if the child of a rape is born, then there's biological proof that the rape occured? Do you realize that such evidence can lead to more prosecutions of rapes? More prosecutions means fewer rapists on the streets, you know, raping people.

  4545. Considering how many people have been unable to get verified - only to have Twitter tell them they can get it done for thousands of dollars - I'd say $8/month is a deal. Furthermore, I think you're wrong about who cares more about the verification. People's voices are given more weight if they're verified. If you're famous and don't have a checkmark, you're considered a bot or fake account. That's fine to me, since I don't think the political opinions of actors, models, etc, should have any more weight than anyone else's. Paying for verification is fine by me. I'll continue to speak freely, for free because I feel no need to prove who I am. After all, I'm nobody. Anyone who doesn't want to pay the $8 can enjoy the same level of free speech as me.

  4564.  @coreysmayfield  Is that what you think is happening out there? Sure, there are a relatively low number of cases where that is true. Mostly though, it's people who are under qualified taking jobs they really have no future in, because employers are desperate for someone to fill the slot. This has no sustainability and will only lead to mass firings once things start to straighten out. Then, those people will be back to looking for the work they're actually qualified for - which is mostly service industry work. Unfortunately, automation is making its move while they're away, so most of them will probably end up on financial aid. Oh well, they'll make for a great addition to the Democrat voter base. People don't tend to vote against their own interests and virtually no one will vote against the party that supports welfare while they're actively collecting it. Of course, they'll also never get back on their feet again but that's okay. Those in charge don't really need them to, do they?

  4565.  @coreysmayfield  Yes, all of the "low wage" restaurant workers in California, who make $14-$15/hour, right? Oh, that's right! This phenomenon is happening all over the US, regardless of the wage. Oops! And before you try it, I live in California and know for a fact that as long as you aren't living in a coastal city, that wage will give you an apartment, a car, groceries, utilities...the works. Plenty of opportunities to make a decent wage, yet greed is causing a whole lot of people to aim further than their reach. I'm watching it happen in real time. They'll be back to their previous jobs just as soon as the latest crop of college graduates come out looking for work. Employers will drop the 'placeholder' employees they've taken on and snatch up those with current degrees. Relatively few of those will be the mid-life employment crisis people you're talking about. Then, all the ones who are jumping on remote work - and proving that most people aren't capable of being productive from home - will cause employers to do away with most remote positions and being people back into the office. The ship will right itself and everything will go back to relatively normal. As for those working for themselves, that should be fun to watch. I have been doing so for over a decade. I watch new "competition" come and go, as most people simply can't manage it. Working for yourself means you're running a company by yourself. It's not easy and it doesn't pay dividends for several years (and that's if you're lucky). The vast majority wash out - which isn't surprising, given that most people can't even work productively from home for someone else. This isn't a "workers' revolution." It's just ripples in a pond, after a splash.

Neither of us has a huge income. "The corporate structure" didn't cause the lootings. The lax laws on theft did. "The corporate structure" didn't cause homelessness. Greedy realtors/landlords, combined with increased drug abuse and mental health issues did. "The corporate structure" didn't cause the great resignation. A generation of people with no work ethic, combined with the government paying the lazy to quit their jobs did. The corporate structure is deeply flawed. It is not, however, the primary reason for what we're facing right now.

  4579. In other words, serving it up in two doses did enough damage to kids under five that they know it will get noticed by more than just "conspiracy theorists." So, they're testing spreading it out across three doses to see if they can get the percentage of severe side effects low enough to sneak it past most parents. Or, we could admit that the percentage of kids under five who are severely affected by C-19 is so low that it might as well be a rounding error. We don't even need to talk about the fact that it's orders of magnitude lower with Omicron compared to earlier variants. Kids that young don't need the vaccine, unless they're immuno-compromised or morbidly obese. In those relatively few cases, those children need a lot better protection than what the shots offer.

  4589.  @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.

  4620. So, as usual, if you want a good compact truck, buy a used one, spend a little money on making it like new, spend a little more to add lockers front and rear, save a total of probably $10,000+, and end up with a better truck all-around. I liked the Maverick a lot when it came out. It was a good deal when it came out. Ford rapidly upped the price, so that the only way to call it a good deal now is by comparing it to all of the other massively inflated new truck prices out there. It's nonsense that relies on the general population being ignorant. Sadly...they seem to be.

It's only going to get better from here...as long as we keep those in power from grabbing more before we get there. Did you hear that California is trying to mandate that all employees (not just government employees) and private contractors be made to get the jab? Why did they wait so long? If such a bold action is necessary at this point, how are the COVID numbers dropping at such an incredible rate? It's almost like Newsom and his cronies are personally benefiting from the sale of every shot. I would be interested to know how many of them (ahem) "their spouses" own stock in Pfizer.

He met a wonderful woman and is now an incredible father of two. To your mind, he should have been vacuumed out of his mother, his wife should be alone, and his kids shouldn't exist. Why?

The 3Ah HP Compact and higher batteries will spank any of the standard batteries when used in brushless tools with the extra contact points. The 3Ah compact runs 21700 cells instead of 18650, so it has a lot of power for its size (it's actually a touch more powerful than the 4Ah HP). The 1.5 and 2Ah HP batteries will beat the 1.5 and 2Ah standard batteries and will nearly compete with the 4Ah standard batteries.

  4650.  @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?

  4651. Okay, I get the need for the transition in the skit but let's not confuse things. Asking for a raise will not get you replaced by a robot. Negotiating salary is a natural and expected thing.

  4655. I would argue that the free market is not what's happening right now. Monopolies are as much a threat to the free market as government overreach. The idea of the free market is that someone can enter said market, compete, and - if their product/service is good enough - be able to elevate their station. Monopolies stifle that just as much as over-regulation.

We support law enforcement and teach our children to do the same. Keep pretending your "Gun Free Zone" signs stop bullets. I'm banking they will continue to be useless. At least my kids are safe.

Granted, the latter is actually illegal but somehow, that's better than saying one thing and doing another.

  4658. See, I'm okay with women-only and female-only spaces. Likewise, I'm okay with men-only and male-only spaces. I believe in equal protection under the law. That means that if a bunch of women want to hang out together without men, that's cool...as long as men are given the same right to pal around with the guys without women. Most equality isn't actually hard. All it really takes is people not trying to deny other people the right to their freedom. I spend all day, every day not denying people freedom. I'm too busy enjoying mine.

  4659. 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.

  4661. I've seen the video. Yes, his pedals have toe clips. Toe clips are so outdated that the only people who use them are those who have been doing so for decades. Everyone else uses platform pedals or clipless pedals. He got his left foot out fine when he stopped. Rather than lean to the left - onto his free foot - he pushed himself to the right and hadn't gotten his right foot out of the toe clip, yet. He fell over. As a long time mountain biker, I think you're all blowing this out of proportion. Everyone who attaches themselves to their pedals ends up laying on their side, feeling foolish at some point. That's the nature of the beast. It's really not more than that.

  4662. This video started out talking about complaints of sex ed in middle school going too far. It then goes on to promote what seems to be high school level sex ed.

Is that the message?

Option 2: There are a handful of men who think they're women and the rest are willing to pretend, in order to see women naked and win competitions.

  4706. My kids won't notice the difference. I make their lunches every day and even when they decide to get milk from school to go with their lunch, they prefer plain milk to chocolate milk. Maybe people like this very robust woman need to stop using butter and sugar to get their kids to eat. My sons eat their meals because they are being raised in a house where they are required to do so. I don't quite believe that children have been starving themselves at school since this went into affect. I see the menu that gets sent home every month and it all looks like tasty options. The kids who would turn it down are likely the kind of little roundies who could stand to skip a meal anyway (and yes, I do blame their parents for that). There was nothing wrong with mandating that public schools make their lunches healthier. The problem lies with the parents who let their kids eat mountains of crap and never make them eat a green vegetable (or slather them with butter and sugar, defeating the whole purpose of eating vegetables in the first place).

  4718. t500010000 No, there is nothing I would change about the profession I chose. That's specifically why I chose it. I make good money doing honest work. I knew the costs and benefits going in and I accepted them. If something were to change about my situation I wouldn't expect an entire industry to change for me. I would simply find something else I'm willing to do for a living. As for life or death, that argument might garner some sympathy if it wasn't common knowledge that slamming your body around every day of your life is going to leave it irreparably damaged. That's what they chose. My uncle now looks like a human question mark because of his decades doing construction. That doesn't mean it was up to the union to go against Federal law and tell him it's okay to toke up. If these guys were standing in front of Congress pleading their case against unjust and unconstitutional cannabis laws, I'd be with them all the way. Instead, they're crying into their guilded cereal bowls about how unfair it is that they have to follow the rules of the contracts they knowingly signed. For that, they can piss off. Or they can put their money where their mouths are; leave pro football and live off of the "measly" tens of millions of dollars they've made, along with all of the endorsement deals they get thrown their way. Gosh, it must be tough...

  4719. Ashton Shephard Actually, it's the people who have no strength of will or character who are the reason we're dealing with an opioid crisis. You see, if some people weren't so quick to seek out chemical relief, there wouldn't be an issue. The ability to abstain isn't a strength, it's a baseline. Everything short of that is merely a shortcoming. Weak people always resent those who don't share in their weaknesses. Sometimes the weak even try to come up with clever ways of insulting the strong, to distract from the fact that they are responsible for their own shortcomings.
    1
  4720. Ashton Shephard Of course addiction itself is not a choice and I never made any claim implying such. Using known addictive substances is a choice. Continuing to use them to the point of addiction is a choice. Giving in to that addiction repeatedly, instead of persevering over it, is a choice. Huh, how about that? It's almost as though free will doesn't have to lead to being a slave to chemicals. In fact, free will necessitates not being a slave to anything. It's actually incredibly easy to not become addicted to substances. For instance, I'm not addicted to methamphetamines. The way I accomplished this was to choose not to use methamphetamines. That created an environment where I was at zero risk of becoming addicted. I know, it's a pretty radical concept but hopefully it will catch on. I keep hearing that each generation is a bit smarter than the last. Here's hoping the next generation will be smart enough to simply avoid the chemicals that everyone knows are addictive. You just took the conversation from being about the free choice to use drugs, to being controlled by them at the physical and psychological level. That's really not the position you want to argue from in a discussion about the legal use of drugs. There are already too many addictive products being consumed legally. Adding more is simply a bad idea. You help reinforce this fact by bringing up the fact that three separate fields of science agree that addiction is a serious problem, once it occurs. Prevention would definitely be the best policy. Thank you for bringing it up, you've been very helpful. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were trying to help me.
    1
  4721. Ashton Shephard I love how you keep moving the goalposts. Do you want to talk about addiction, prescription use or personal use? You keep jumping around without ever actually countering my points. Addiction is linked to several things. Childhood trauma is one of them but there are plenty of people who are addicted to things, who did not suffer from childhood traumas. To imply otherwise is to discount the other two fields of science you referenced (arguing against yourself). As for medicinal use, have at it. Medicines should exist and should be prescribed by licensed physicians. I never said anything against that. Now, would you like to tackle the argument I actually made in the first place, or are you going to keep trying to dance round my very clear initial point? It may be difficult. I've read that habitual marijuana usage can make it hard for some people to focus and stay on topic. Perhaps that explains all of your jumping around.

What Skelly fails to realize is that, while the majority of people in the US believe abortion should be legal, the majority also believes that things have gotten out of hand and that abortions should be reigned in more. The generation who cheered for Roe v. Wade were sold the idea that abortions should be safe, legal, and rare. They're not rare. In fact, they're even pushing post-birth abortions at this point. Aborting someone who was born is called murder, no matter what trimester someone thinks life begins. Things have gone off the rails and most people are seeing that.

  4738. Wait, what are you mad about? If you're telling the truth and Black Americans live in the worst polluted areas, then they don't need a race-based policy to see benefits. If you're on the level then a policy based on cleaning up the worst offenders will help Black communities over White communities as a natural byproduct. Do you really need the government to come out and say that they're giving one group preferential treatment? Is it really more about the message than the actual results? Do you care more about using Black communities to push a message than you do about actually saving lives?

  4748. When Subaru realized that lesbians were buying their cars, they started catering to them with their marketing. Most people were fine with it. That was in the 90s. Now, Ford is advertising to one of their key demographics and suddenly everyone's upset? Are you aware that the entirety of the alphabet community is a larger group than just the lesbians? So, why is it okay for Subaru to target lesbians but not okay for Ford to target the whole enchilada? It's a damn rainbow painted on a truck. It's not like they strapped a rubber dildo on the front and called it a hood ornament. Meanwhile, if they had Charlotte McKinney sitting on the hood, spread eagle, in a string bikini, wiping "mayonnaise" off her face, that would be defended as "Hey, sex sells." On the other side of the aisle, they would defend the dildo and disparage McKinney. The hypocrisy of this generation is truly breathtaking.

  4775. Pure truth. Current estimates put us at a high of 650 million guns in civilian hands. Absolutely any plan that involves limiting the sale of guns is empty posturing.

  4787. A) The Supreme Court is at the top of a Constitutionally created (and protected) branch of the government, known as the Judicial branch. It has no more chance of ending than the Executive branch (President, VP, etc) or Legislative branch (Congress). B) The people of this Country have freedom as outlined by the US Constitution. The Supreme Court is the branch that looks at laws and determines whether or not they conform to said Constitution. I think what you're calling freedom is actually Anarchy. You wouldn't like Anarchy. You'd be killed within a week. C) Those "9 old people" are the only government power standing between us and total, Federal Authoritarianism. Without them, we'd have had to overthrow the government many times over by now. Why? Because politicians crave power and without anyone to stop them, they will just take it. The Supreme Court is flawed, so it hasn't stopped all Federal overreach but we're a whole lot better off than if it didn't exist at all. D) Stay in school, study hard, and learn the principles upon which this Country was founded. If you think SCOTUS is the enemy for upholding the Constitution, you still have a lot to learn.

If more people got their information from National Geographic instead of Hollywood, they'd have much less stressful lives. Instead, they think spiders and snakes are going to hunt them down and kill them. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. Florida Fish and Wildlife are going around to people's properties, slaughtering their properly housed, captive bred, pet reptiles to "save the Everglades" while ignorant snake haters cheer them on. They're doing nothing to solve the actual problem but they keep getting praise from folks who fear all snakes, so they'll just keep going. They just killed a guy's boa for the "crime" of looking kinda like a python. That's it. They're perfectly legal to own in Florida but this man's pet - that he raised for ten years - got killed because of how it looked to some ignorant people. Nobody cares, though, so these kinds of things will keep happening. All because millions of people are unwilling to let go of their ignorance and bias.

Furthermore, if you're in a State in which you feel the laws are genuinely too much to bear, you can move to another State that better reflects your views...and you can do so without a passport. That's one of the major benefits of the Union. Fifty different States to choose from and the freedom to do so as much as you like. Every new Federal law is going to conflict with some of the States because they are different from one another.

  4800.  @jordanabendroth6458  I've used dozens of drills - both brushed and brushless - over the years. There's plenty of difference. Obviously the comparison has to be between similar grades of drills. A brushless electric screwdriver isn't comparable to a brushed rotary hammer. You don't mention which two drills you used in your extensive comparison. As for impact drivers, yes, they exist and are better than drills at certain things but that really isn't relevant to a discussion about brushed vs brushless tools. Again, rotary hammers are "better" than electric screwdrivers but that's not what's being discussed.

  4809. ​@ericl2969 1957 was the first year 4WD was available as a factory option on the Suburban. Regardless, that's just goalpost shifting. The Suburban was the first SUV. It came out in 1933 commercially, and 1934 publicly. It didn't have 4WD because virtually nothing did at the time. You do know that having the first capacitive touchscreen (as opposed to resistive) didn't make the iPhone the first smartphone, right? Adding features to an existing type of product doesn't make you first. The Willys Jeep and the Scout are awesome vrhicles. They're just neither of them the first SUV.

  4819. DeSantis. Trump circumvented Congress and had the ATF change the definition of an automatic weapon to something so vague as to allow them to ban things like triggers. Trump was worse for gun rights than Obama. Furthermore, DeSantis may have praised red flag laws but Trump was one of the first to seek their implementation - while simultaneously admitting that they're unconstitutional. "I say take the guns first and then worry about due process after." - Donald Trump Beyond that, DeSantis winning won't get nearly as many cities burned to the ground. Truth be told, I think fewer Dems will come out to vote against DeSantis than Trump, so I'd say he has a better chance of actually winning against Biden.
