  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. This interviewer is frustratingly dense.

  10. Isn't that the litmus test? If California politicians think it's a good idea, it should probably be avoided.

  11. 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.

  12. Lol. So the Alt-Right gets to represent the Right, now? Does that mean Stalin represents the Left?
    522
  13. 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.

  14. I just bought my children bicycle helmets the other day. The blue one cost the exact, same amount as the pink one.
    442
  15. 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.

  16. Hulk isn't a pitbull. He's a pit/mastiff cross.

  17. 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.

  18. This video currently has 7,016 Likes and 25,362 Dislikes. Videos like this are the reason YouTube hid the dislike count. Fortunately, there are browser extensions that fix it. Edit: For those wondering, the Chrome extension is called Return YouTube Dislike. It works on ChromeOS and desktop Chrome browser.

  19. When you hope your state is on a "worst" list, so that people stop moving there and housing prices go back to being reasonable.
    289
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. "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
  23. 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.

  24. For sexual assault. Wonder why he was pulling people over and seeing what they look like before driving off?
    245
  25. 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.
    245
  26. Kinda goes with the whole "unpredictable" thing.
    232
  27. I think, starting today, people should have to pass a background check before being able to purchase a firearm. Oh wait...
    229
  28. You're talking to a society that decided Beats were good enough. Audio quality is clearly secondary to style and brand recognition.

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

  30. 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
  31. "...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
  32. 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.

  36.  @prestonhanson501  Neither has anyone else, including you. What a ridiculous statement.
    162
  37. "Let's all move to the coast," they said. "We'll build great big cities," they said.
    146
  38. 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
  39. 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
  40. 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.

  41. He actually said it. He did the "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!" line with Russia. The man really is a walking meme.
    135
  42. That clip of Don Lemmon saying the exact same things Crowder and Shapiro have been called racist for saying, is just too perfect.
    130
  43. 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
  44. "They're not just transitioning kids, willy-nilly." "They did it to me." "That was abuse." Exactly.
    115
  45. 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
  46. Glass back, no headphone jack and a notch. It's like this phone is a homage to Apple's worst design ideas.
    111
  47. 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.

  48. 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.

  50. 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
  51. 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
  52. 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
  53. 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
  54. Are you telling me that campaign promises are just lies? Gosh, I'm shocked.
    83
  55. 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
  56. 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.

  57. 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...

  58. 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.

  59. When Google Assistant calls a company that has an automated menu, will it press 1 for English or 2 for Spanish?
    77
  60. 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
  61. For that price you can buy a car.
    74
  62. 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.
    73
  63. 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
  64. I mean...they ultimately work for the current President, so...
    72
  65. 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
  66. 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.
    67
  67. 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.

  68. 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
  69. 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
  70. 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
  71. 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.

  72. T-shirt cannon packed with a fishing net.
    58
  73. Damn! I've gotta give Shep some credit. He came out swinging on the death count thing! I'm not used to seeing these folks hold people's feet to the fire like that. That's how it's done!
    57
  74. "Vampires, pretending to be humans, pretending to be vampires. How avant garde."
    57
  75. 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.

  78.  @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.'
    55
  79. "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.

  81. Too far CNN. You can shit on our public officials all you want - that's part of what they're there for - but the minute you start attacking the People, you've put yourselves in the political cross hairs. I give it a year before CNN stands for #CancelledNewsNetwork

  83. "Unbourboned by what has gin."
    47
  84. 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.
    47
  85. Truth. I deleted Facebook before deleting Facebook was cool.

  90.  @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.

  92. 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.
    41
  93. 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!
    41
  94. 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.

  96. I've got you beat. I just found two VHS tapes form Blockbuster I forgot to return!
    39
  97. 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.
    39
  98. 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
  99.  @cal4625  There are no accidental shootings. They're called negligent discharges. The news media came up with the phrase "accidental shooting."
    37
  100. 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
  101. Don't forget, they also hand out free syringes to be left on the sidewalks.
    36
  102. 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.
    36
  103.  @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.
    36
  104. Especially considering their mandatory service policy. You would think they'd trust their own veterans with guns.
    35
  105. 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
  106.  @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.

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

  108. 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.

  109. 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
  110. #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
  111. 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
  112. 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...
    32
  113. 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.
    32
  114. That sigh of relief when your state doesn't appear on a Briggs video.

  115. 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.
    31
  116.  @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
  117. 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!

  124. 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.

  125. 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.

  126. "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.

  128.  @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.

  131. 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.

  139.  @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.

  140. 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.

  148. 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.

  157. 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.

  160.  @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
  161. 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.

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.

  166.  @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?

  168. 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.

  179. 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.

  182. 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.

  186. 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.

  218. @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.

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.

  223.  @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.

  224. 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.

  225.  @nxdboi  We still don't know if anyone has died from Omicron. All of them have been declared as died "with" Omicron. No clear statements as to whether Omicron was the cause, or simply existed within the patients at the time of death. They never tell us that part.

  227. I hear ya. These Coasties see a city trending, flock to it, pay over asking price - to ensure a quick purchase, and price everyone else out of the place where they grew up. They decided to go for mass gentrification. It's horrible.

  228. 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.

  229. Non-combative means not combative, even though "combative" is the root word. It's not an oxymoron, it's an antonym.

  230. 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.

  233.  @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.

  245. So you're saying you didn't watch the debate? Ben said, if we're going to get the money out of politics, we also need to get the pandering from groups like TYT and "news" outlets out as well. 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.

  246. Shrunoti Karpe You can have them. Anyone who is willing to leave the Country after losing one election isn't cut out for life in the US, anyway. They're the same schmucks who think giving college kids "safe spaces" - so they don't have to deal with conflict and learn how to process it - is somehow a good idea. Sounds like your leader would suit them perfectly and it would stop them from continually trying to turn the US into Canada.

Even violent criminals are getting processed out the same day they're arrested. They don't bother going to their court dates, so they get a bench warrant. 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.

You can't use a criminal allegation as grounds for contract nullification without proving in a court of law that the crime occurred. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

  265. 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.

I'm seeing houses going back on the market that sold during the pandemic, and now they're asking $100,000+ over what they paid...just three years later! Insanity! These people started bidding wars and drove prices sky high. Now that their bosses are forcing them to go back to the office (instead of working remotely) they think they should be rewarded for their impulsive behavior. It's despicable.

  270. 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.

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.

  273.  @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
  274.  @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.

  286. 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.

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.

  292. Europeans who live in the US do tend to love it here. It's the ones who have never been here - or who vacationed in one of the giant cesspool cities - who have animosity for the US. 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.

Now, if we're talking about shotgun blanks, that can be a different story but the projectile is usually a cardboard shot card.

  297. 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.

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.

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.

That way, they'll have no choice but to vote for the Party that offers them financial aid. The people living in those areas feel they have little option to escape poverty than to commit crimes. Malcolm X saw right through the Liberal agenda and warned people but they didn't listen. But sure, Conservatives are the problem...

  327. You're absolutely right and I don't understand it at all. I'm relocating in about a year. I did a lot of research and chose a State that aligns closely with my politics, personality, and budget (along with a bunch of other factors). 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.

So, basically, they should be reduced to the Bureau of Explosives and then be absorbed into OSHA.

  344. 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."

Hillary voters screamed that they'd leave if they don't get their way. Trump supporters laughed and offered them a ride to the border. Hillary supporters back-pedaled. 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.

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.

  364.  @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.

  366.  @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.

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

Most of the time, Christmas cars are bought by men for their wives or by both parents for their kids. Most of the time, this is the slowest sales period of the year for truck sales.

  400. 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?

  415.  @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! 😂

As of now, Omicron has a 100% survival rate.

Also, if you think my moving to a State that almost perfectly aligns with my positions (to help keep it that way, with my vote) rather than staying in California and fighting a lost battle - is idiotic...I don't think we have much to discuss, here. We clearly have very different views. You have every right to yours and I have no interest in changing them. Have a nice life.

  422. 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?!

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.

  435.  @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
  436.  @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.

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

  438. 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.

  441. 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.

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!

  444. I love it when people who don't know anything about guns speak with authority on the subject. It's hilarious. 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.

  446. 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.

  449. 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.

Bridezilla had to relent because his side of the aisle was going to look pretty empty in her wedding video/photos. Luckily, after that one, he figured out that he didn't have to settle for a woman with horrible values and his current wife is wonderful.

  455.  @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. So many in fact, that they're already talking about alternatives to Biden, to put on the Democrat ticket in 2024.

Also, having been struck by a 12 foot Retic and a 14 foot Burm (and a bunch of other snakes but I digress), it's nothing like being hit by a boxer. It's more like getting hit by a grade schooler, except you get some scratches left in you from the teeth. You watch way too many movies. Try documentaries next time.

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

  520. This. I spent years doing remodel contracting. I've "retired" into being a handyman. I thought it might be a tough transition but honestly, I don't even advertise. 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.

  524. Did you just say that a large percentage of people who listen to Joe Rogan's podcast are going to avoid getting vaccinated, get COVID, and die? Really? 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? Do you really think the news should only be held to the standards of two random people having a conversation? Really? But like, REALLY? Come on.

All of the kids swarm them, squealing and grabbing and the dogs love it. 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. Whoever raised the two Rotties in this video deserves to be dragged down a long gravel road behind a truck.

Then, they're awarding the property to the party who is trespassing on it, rather than the party who actualy owns it.

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.

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.

  560. 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.

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."

Even you get to defend yourself from violent attackers - up to and including using lethal force. It's part of your right to live. 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.

  579.  @xbrito3368  Personally, I'm happy to believe a doctor who reports positive and negative information over a doctor who is obviously neglecting to report anything positive. 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).

If these people had light skin and banjos, you'd call them bigoted hillbillies for using force to protect their backward ways. Double standards don't help anyone.

  587. +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.
    5
  588. +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. Education requires understanding, not blind obedience.
    5
  589. +Jesse and Jan You can debate all you want. It's not going to change basic economics or the major differences between the US and European Countries. You can't pay out more money without either taking in more money or cutting profits. 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

  590. I love all of the people pretending that we still had turn of the century healthcare within the last decade. As though the majority of the US was people dying in the streets because they were being turned away from hospitals in droves for lack of insurance. Short memories, I guess. Either that or YouTube is mostly full of people who aren't old enough to have been able to spell "insurance" eight years ago. Hmmm, maybe I'm on to something there...

Frankly, if the mass shooters already have AR15s and AK47s, I'm thinking I need one too. It's called a fair fight.

Two planes crashing into two food processing plants in a week should be peculiar enough to make anyone wonder if there's something more going on. Instead, you choose to cover yourself in a safety blanket of stats. Tell me, how many times per week do planes crash into food processing plants in the US? It must be quite frequently for you to be so dismissive, right? I guess if fires happen and planes sometimes manage not to destroy their intended target, everything is just fine...

Show all the stats you want to a group of young, healthy people and they will still pair up, trade diseases and get each other pregnant. Why? Because feeling good is paramount and sex feels good. They will lie to themselves and each other to get it. They will convince themselves that they are the exception. Why? Because "Everyone is special" and "Do what makes you happy" are two cornerstones of our society, now.

  615.  @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.

  616.  @OxundHeiner  That IS the discussion. It's the entire reason for the conflict in the first place. The determination of when life begins is paramount to the entire thing. 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.

  617. 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. Make it a self-lesson instead of ground from which to fight. Move forward.

  620. They run insanely long trains through Northern California all the time. I was driving through a smaller city up there and saw a coupler explode between two cars. Thankfully, the train was crawling at the time, so it just lead to further decoupling from the recoil. However, the train sat there, cutting part of the town in half for about ten hours. After seeing this video, I'm just glad it wasn't a lot worse.

Gaudy wallpapers and music players are nothing compared to massive privacy issues and extortion.

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.

The existence of bull riding does not justify sewing snakes' mouths shut.

You may not make a difference but someone else might hear you who will.

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.

  635.  @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.

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!"

  656. 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.

  658.  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.

  662. 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.

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.

I'm good with you interpreting it wrong and being too afraid to leave your house because you actually believe the nonsense you're spouting. Of course, I don't think that's true. I think you're intentionally spouting this nonsense with no actual belief in it, in order to be inflammatory. That's okay, too. All you've really done is made yourself look ignorant and destroyed any credibility you have.

  670. 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.

  673. 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.

A kid is far more likely to die playing in and around a pool than they are by having guns in their home.

  708. 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.

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.

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.

  720.  @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.

  749. I would argue that all constitutionally protected arms are for assault. The 2A doesn't protect our right to hunt squirrels or shoot paper targets. 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?

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.

  757. I'd say that's what we're all banking on. It's pretty much the same idea behind the boosters. The idea is to get something into your system that will increase immunity in the short term, so that we're better protected against worse variants. Given the givens of what's happening in South Africa, I'd say that's exactly what's happening. Everyone is getting hit with Omicron, beating it, getting an immunity boost and smothering Delta.

Keeping your rifle instead of throwing it on the ground is textbook proper firearm training, and as such, is not wrong. Yours is a strange "reality." I'm glad I don't live in it.

  776.  @ShonnMorris  That's not true. California already lost one Congressional seat due to population decrease (for the first time in history) and there are projections that it could lose up to five more by 2030. It's making a difference. The problem is that California has a population larger than Canada, so it's gonna take a while for it to empty out enough to matter.
    4
  777.  @ShonnMorris  The focus was population. There are fewer and fewer people moving into California to replace the hoards who are leaving. Thus, lower Congressional seat count. Though, to be fair, that has less to do with California's terrible reputation and more to do with its insane cost of living.

  789. 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.

  791.  @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.

  802. If California's outflow is less than their inflow, how did U-Haul run out of trucks in California last year? 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?

If you're on the West Coast and need a change, move to the East Coast and vise versa. They call the rest of them flyover states for a reason. You don't want to move there. It's boring and backward. 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.

The world would be a much better place if people would accept words as they are defined.

  811. 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.

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...

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 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.

  869. +Mike A) Almost nobody has fully automatic weapons in the US. Research, then comment B) M855 are NOT classified as armor piercing rounds. 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.

  876. 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.

It does not require her to comfort him like a friend. If she was doing it to humanize him in front of the judge, it's not going to work. If she did it because she feels even the slightest empathy for this piece of garbage, she should do some serious soul searching. This sex-trafficking, minor-impregnating, woman-beating, mass-murdering, POS is evil. That's all there is to it.

  882. Kentucky has at least one college in virtually every moderate to large town/city. That's not fiscally possible without a good number of students going on to college after high school. 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. It hurts to think about how many of those people can vote.

  884. ​ @davidstephan5116  More or less. My uncle got an acre upstate through squatters rights. There are always funny little details in different jurisdictions but yes, people have absolutely been pulling this crap for as long as we've had property rights in the US. 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.

  885. 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.

However, last I checked we were talking about what's going on in Virginia, specifically. Hell, arrest them all and see what charges we can get to stick. I'm sure there aren't more than ten State/Federal politicians in the entire Country whose hands are completely clean.

  889. Same. When she came out and said she'd do everything in her power to reverse the Heller decision, my mind was made up.

  893. After this person died (of other causes) they tested the blood, sequenced the DNA, and determined that they also had Omicron. Notice that while CNN is sloppily saying "died from Omicron," Johnson is very carefully saying "died with Omicron." It's a very important difference. I will definitely die WITH tendinitis but I can pretty much guarantee that I won't die FROM tendinitis. Same with Omicron. So far, it has a 100% survival rate.

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.

The only thing the 2A protects is our right to weapons for assault/counter-assault, not tools for hunting.

You have no excuse for your appalling sentence structure. As for the rest, I admitted nothing about fasting but you're right about not drinking my own waste or limiting my diet to something "so good for you" that you most often have to supplement using bottled vitamins. 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. You're on your own with that one).

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.

  955. 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.

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.

Visit a rock quarry some time and see how logical your choice is for the future of this planet.

  969. If the property owner hadn't been paying the taxes, the state would have already taken the property. This isn't about people being derelict in paying their taxes. 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? Does that sound right to you?

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.

  987.  @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.

When you're getting filthy rich off a vaccine that has an effective lifespan similar to that of a carton of eggs, you're not good people.

So no, I'm not saying there was some complex plan to kill someone. That sounds a little bit closer to your line of thinking, anyway. 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.

  1007. 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.

  1013. 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).

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."

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

  1047. 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.

  1068. phloridababe Wrong. Electric stand-up scooters are not a DMV issue. Having a "working motor" isn't a qualifier. In fact, you can drive a gas powered motorcycle on the street with no license or registration, as long as the engine is 49cc or smaller. People convert bicycles all the time without legal issue. Research, then comment.

  1073.  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.

  1079. 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.

  1084. 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.

  1090. Cool Beans You're missing the point. Labels are assigned based on evidence. A lack of evidence means you withhold the label until/unless evidence is found. 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.

  1095. "It's not a perfect analogy." You're right, it's a deeply flawed analogy. Parent and adoptive parent are not antonyms. They do not exist at the opposite ends of a binary (or a spectrum, if you need to lie to yourself). One is a stand-in for the other. A man is an adult human male. A woman is an adult human female. They're not interchangeable.

They can't have that, so they need to make their subscribers think there's a war against minorities. There isn't, of course...so they have to make things up.

  1100.  @jogi453  It's not like they're new chemicals. Between the FDA, Universities, independent scientists and specialty researchers (i.e. Cancer researchers), there aren't too many things that haven't been tested for carcinogens. A simple process of submitting ingredients lists to be checked against a database is all that's needed and happens to be the standard for all sorts of foods and drugs. Nobody freaks out when Nestlé comes out with a new candy because all of the food grade ingredients (which are what's used in eliquid) are already well documented with the FDA.

  1101.  @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.

The tenth amendment says that any powers not granted to the Federal government by the Constitution, are reserved for the States and the people of the United States. That means it's up to the States to decide whether to mandate vaccines, since the Federal government was not granted that power (and that was reinforced by SCOTUS in 1905).

That takes the "I'm with her" message away from the Dems, while also having a more centrist candidate - who will get a whole lot of votes from the middle.

Slaves were not and in fact, Abraham Lincoln and his ilk did not see them as being equal. He stated that he had no interest in securing equality for the slaves because they were not equal to whites, in his eyes. 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.

  1114.  @JakkiPi  Bought all of my HP tools and batteries on sale. Not sure why anyone pays retail when there are constantly deals on kits. Just got a HP 10" sliding compund miter saw, 4ah HP battery, charger, and miter saw stand for $250. There isn't a brushed Ryobi miter saw that will touch it. 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.

  1118. Cenk says he wants us to peacefully break the cycle of violence. 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. This leads me to believe that Cenk wants everyone to convert to Islam and adhere to the extreme interpretations that ISIS and other such groups believe in. That is, after all, what it would take to end this "peacefully."

  1119. +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.

  1123. +Gabriel Cowley That "sub-group" makes up the majority of what people see as the "representatives" of the group. When you think of any group, you tend to envision it's most public form. 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.

  1124. 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.

Now, if you want an analogous situation you should look up what happened when the Black Panthers armed themselves and marched through a city chanting for the deaths of police officers. You might be surprised to know that all the police did was direct traffic for them. Kinda puts holes in the "everything is racist" mantra you're supporting.

  1133. Go down to Home Depot one morning and see what the daily wage being offered to day workers is. Then come back and tell us all that the fifty or so jobs per town - that are being filled by people who are willing to work for drastically less than minimum wage - aren't affecting anything. That American citizens are all just lazy and that's why they're losing out on these jobs. Liberals can't have it both ways. You can't claim that we need a $15/hour minimum wage in this Country and that people can survive just fine on $5/hour, to compete with undocumented immigrants. Choose one.

  1143. +Melokie Neptune Yet some of us somehow manage to continue to look at other employment prospects while working at a less than desirable job. That's how the vast majority of people become more than just a busboy or burger flipper. Just because you need to take a job doesn't mean you have to keep it. In fact, the best time to look for a new employer is when you are currently employed. But don't let facts get in the way of rationalizing the act of doing as little as possible to better your existence.

  1145. I'd say it's about time for the "jocks" and the "frat boys" to return us to a natural balance. The problem is that the "nerds" have become the leaders in industry. They are living out every sci fi movie where the amoral genius does whatever he wants, without any concern for the consequences to society at large. 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.

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.

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.

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.

  1156. 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.

  1158. +Ken Mastri You can go ahead and argue but it doesn't change the fact that this bike isn't worth the price of a car. 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.

  1164. 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.

  1166. +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.

  1167. +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?

  1168. 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
  1169. +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.

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.

  1181. 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
  1182. 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.

  1183. +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

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).

  1194.  @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.

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.

  1202.  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.

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!

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.

  1233. What is Washington going to do? The sheer number of homicidal people in this Country is mind blowing. Even if there was some magical way to do away with the more than half a billion guns in the US, it wouldn't change how murderous our people hwve become. Washington can't legislate morality. 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.

  1234. What the hell? How is a border wall blocking trade and immigration? Is this guy so ignorant as to think we're walling off the current, legal entry points, or is he being disingenuous for the sake of making the wall look worse than it actually is? A wall would not prohibit ANY legal trade or immigration. It's ridiculous to say that we need to be able to cross the border illegally in order to promote free trade and immigration.

  1235.  The Herman Cain Awards  For a long time, virtually everyone in the US did have a gun. The murder rate was lower back then. In fact, even the "Wild West" had a lower murder rate than we do now. For a very long time, anyone could walk into any hardware or department store and buy guns. It's almost as though the problem is societal and has little to do with how much access we have to guns...

  1242.  @ellobetchess  1. Low risk is not nonexistent. 2. I've had IVs before, so I don't mind a needle being in my arm a little longer. Not sure how they're going to miss the correct dosage if they start out with the right dosage in the needle (not that one less microgram is going to make that much of a difference anyway). 3. I'm not a cow and it isn't a slaughterhouse. If it takes an extra minute to make absolutely sure that it's done right, so be it. First, do no harm. If I want to play fast and loose with injections, I'll become a drug addict.

  1243.  @Surrealitivity  I'm gonna need your source link for claiming that Omicron is only mild in the vaccinated and those who have "strong" immune systems. Also, what does that mean to you? Are you aware that the vast majority of people have strong immune systems? If so, that means you're saying that the vast majority of people have nothing to fear from Omicron...which is true. Maybe I misunderstood and you're actually agreeing with OP.

  1244.  @galupproperties3098  I work outdoors most of the year, doing construction. The runny nose, scratchy throat, cough, and sneezing are from the cold, wet air. Everything else is from the work. It's completely normal.
    2
  1245.  @galupproperties3098  That was a wild 180. I mentioned that I have these symptoms a lot. You asked if that was normal. I explained that it was. Then, you come at me with the death of your father. I'm truly sorry for your loss, as my own father has COPD and likely won't survive any variant. However, I fail to see how that has to do with my statements about my own symptoms.

  1246. Until they can prove to the powers that be, that it will crumple in all the right places to be DOT approved, I'm not holding my breath for this "ultra-durable" shell. Car companies bring out all kinds of outlandish things on their prototypes but most of them never make it to production.
    2
  1247. Yup. The economy will grind to a screeching halt come January, when all of those free tests get passed out and we start seeing who actually tests positive. 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.

  1248. 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.

  1252. I smoked 2 packs/day for 20 years (Marlboro 100s, mainly). I tried everything to quit and nothing worked. When e-cigarettes started becoming popular, I tried to quit using tobacco flavors. All that did was make me want a real cigarette. I tried again a year later but with various flavors. That worked! I haven't had a cigarette in almost 4 years and I don't want one! My eliquid comes from an American company that has a great reputation. I'm not hurting anyone. They need to leave us be.

  1254. Of course medical organizations support transitioning. It's a multi-BILLION dollar industry. Plastic surgeons and pharmaceutical companies have been making money off of people's body issues for decades. Big pharma loves coming out with "treatments" for things like this because people are lining up to take them. Why would they bother disagreeing with it? There's no such thing as business ethics any more and that's all the medical industry is...a business.

  1255. "Her dad was murdered last year." And was it "Runnon" who did it? Did your man catch you paying off your drug dealer in "creative" ways and lose his temper? That would wrap this whole story up very predictably.

  1256. 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.

  1258.  @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.

  1264. I love the "walk to work" and "buy an electric" responses. I'm a handyman. I spend all day, every day, lugging tools around town to different customers' homes and businesses. 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.

  1265. Go to Northern California. The prices are much cheaper than the rest of the State and they don't have snow or tornadoes. Of course, the wildfires and earthquakes are a bit of an issue...

  1266. "Or do we really want to wait for the next person, taking their second amendment right to the extreme?" What an asinine thing to say. None of the amendments to the constitution outline a right to murder people. It's not in the second or any other amendment. 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. It's naive and untenable but at least it's not a false claim.

I guess it's a good thing you're "cute" (at least by your own claims). Did you want to try that again - with an actual answer - or is empty, meaningless snark your legacy?

  1270. 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.

  1274. Alright but like, are these guys gay or bi? Are they attracted to their wives at all? Do they love their wives? I mean, cheating is cheating, regardless of who you're doing it with. The real issue seems to be more about a complete lack of self-control. If you're looking to be in a committed relationship, then commit. If you're about that conga line life, leave your wife and go get you some. Basically, man up.

  1275.    Except that your very first statement is patently false. It seems all that other stuff you listed is irrelevant to the massive number of people leaving California every year.

I can tell you've never accidentally touched a live 400V DC line...because you're breathing right now. EVs have scary amounts of stored energy, that are far more dangerous than an ICE vehicle's single, 12V battery.

  1281.  @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. 😏
    2
  1282.  @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.

  1283. "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.

  1292. When the children who live now realize the error of their parents' ways and raise their kids to have more morality and self control. 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.

Further, we should have to prove our necessity of each and every item before purchasing. Free people should always have to ask their government's permission to do anything. It's only natural to treat adults like children who need to be given permission to live their lives. [Sarcasm overload. Reboot to continue]

  1304.  @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.

The local facilities won't allow me to test anywhere near that frequently and there's no way I'm spending that kind of money on home tests (I have bills to pay and a family to feed). Even every few days is too much. Maybe if there was something to fear from it but there really isn't.

  1311.  @xena6343  And there it is. You berate me for my opinion about animal abusers. I respond in kind and then you try to play the victim. 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?

  1312. Yeah but there's a problem with this comparison. Yes, people move from other States to California. However, the average "I'm goin' to California!" Liberal Southerner, is still more conservative than your average "I'm gettin' out of California!" Conservative Californian. The exchange rate is pretty far off. Especially since, as you mentioned, it's still more Californians coming in than others moving out.

  1314. RydarGames We call that the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. 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.

  1315. And now they will. Omicron is resistant to the vaccine that they're pushing and the infected have a 100% survival rate. Everyone will get it. Everyone will survive (other than cases like this one, where someone dies of something else and they try to claim it's because of Omicron). Everyone will build up immunity. Life will finally go on.

A lot of police cruisers have dashcams and backseat cams that are wired to the car battery. 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. You can store days of 480p video on a 2TB card/drive.

  1322.  danielrn133  Everyone who works in retail, food service, medical, etc, etc, etc, is video recorded throughout their workday. They don't get to turn off the cameras around them whenever they feel like having sex at work. Why should police be able to? 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.

  1323.  @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've committed no offense greater than traveling above the speed limit my entire life. What do I get for my responsible behavior? 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.

  1330.  @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.

    2
  1339.  @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
  1340.  @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
  1341.  @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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

  1397. 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.

  1398.  @C_G1443  How many of the ICE fires are so dangerous after being put out, that tow truck companies are refusing to tow them? 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.

  1399.  @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.

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.

  1404. 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.

  1407. 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.

  1410. 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.

That's about all it's for. I can pick up a decent enough rifle to take out any animal in North America and have decent follow-up speed for about $250-$300, new. 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.

  1428. 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.

  1433.  @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.

  1454. 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.

  1455.  @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.

  1456.  @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.

  1458. 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.

  1469. 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...

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.

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.

  1490. 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.

  1491.  @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).

  1495.  @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!

  1512. 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.

  1513.  @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.

  1514. ​@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.

  1519. 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.

  1520. 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.

  1521. 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.

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.

  1530.  @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.

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?

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.

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! 👍

I don't care who is in office at the time, I'm going to voice my disapproval. I didn't make COVID tests political. Biden did, when he decided to create a shortage by muscling in on the supply chain. If you don't like people criticizing bad political decisions, move to North Korea. Nobody is allowed to "make things political" there. However, I assure you that the grass is greener here, in the land of the free.

  1597. 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.

  1601. Why would he bother going that far with it? Nowadays, all you have to do is say you're trans. He wouldn't have to change his sex, clothing or even his demeanor.

  1604. 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.

  1607. 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
  1608. 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.

  1609. 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'.

If he had tried the knob and failed, he likely would have wandered off again. Instead, he made it inside, which makes it so much worse for the psyche of those girls. 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.

  1614. 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.
    2
  1615.  @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.

  1622. 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.

  1627. 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.

  1635. 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!

  1636. 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.

  1638. 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.

  1641. 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.

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.

  1668. 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.

The parents, on the other hand, have just showed the judge and jury exactly what kind of parents they are. This could well play a role in their conviction and sentencing. I hope the judge is mentally adding an extra five years to their sentences right now.

  1682.  @dchawk81  Why do more and more people think that nit-picking makes them seem intelligent? If you have to dissect every statement, wring any generalizations out of it and then argue against it, you're doing it wrong. Anyone with half a brain can see that OP was making a general statement, not a fully exclusionary one. Furthermore, OP didn't say you couldn't understand what the use cases are, only that if you don't understand that there are use cases, you live a very different life. If you're going to nit-pick, you could at least take the time to be right.

  1687. 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.

  1690.  @t-bfr45-70  Our LGS had a Sharps in 45-70 in great shape for $750, once (What the deuce?!). No layaway available. Missed it by two days. I learned a hard lesson about always putting money away for "the next gun." I'll be a Sharps-hooter yet! As for the snipes, I've been shooting them for years. I still don't know why the kids have such a hard time finding them.

  1691.  @t-bfr45-70  Thanks! I've yet to bump up to 45-70. My "biggun" is my grandfather's handed-down Marlin 444s. It's a blast pulling that old lever gun out at the range. 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!

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.

  1703. 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

Hell, people are still doing center bolt 350 swaps in large numbers and that motor has been considered obsolete for a long time. 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.

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.

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.

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.

  1730. +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.

  1731. +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."

  1732. +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
  1733. +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.

  1740. 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.

  1741. +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
  1742. +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
  1743. +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.

  1744. +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.

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.

  1756. +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.

This was a revenge killing plain and simple. It's sick bastards like this who make the rest of us look bad. A side note for anyone who wants to blame the gun: Guys like this will do things like this with whatever they have available. The only difference a gun ban would have made is that these two would have been killed with an axe. That's not a comfort to me.

  1766. This seems like a very expensive way of knowing....exactly what anyone who lives in any given place knows. Honestly, do the police really need expensive software to tell them where the "bad parts" of town are? I guess if the software is "objectively" profiling, the police won't get in as much trouble as if they just patrol the obvious areas.

  1767. Yeah, I can't get behind a holster version but as an at-home trigger lock, it has serious potential.

  1768. 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.
    1
  1769. +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
  1770. +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
  1771. +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
  1772. +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.
    1
  1773. +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
  1774. +DAK4Blizzard You still haven't said anything that counters my claims. Why would I bother digging through anything to refute...nothing?
    1
  1775. +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
  1776. +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
  1777. +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.

  1778. Wait. A nuke is not a gun. Why do people always talk about explosives and armed vehicles when talking about guns. A bomb is not a gun. A tank is not a gun. A grenade is not a gun. Why is that hard to understand? Or is it that you understand it perfectly but saying outlandish things like this makes your opposition look bad?

  1780. Billion Dollar Biscuit I'm clueless...but you're the one who doesn't comprehend what a joke is. Hmmm....
    1
  1781. PwnyGOD You mean like Clinton, when she publicly said she wanted to enact similar restrictions as those in the UK? 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.
    1
  1782. Billion Dollar Biscuit Typical. I don't agree with the Left, therefore I must agree with the Right? So sad. I've got news for you, cupcake. I think both sides are pretty pathetic right now. These two imbeciles are the best you could come up with? I mean, the minor party candidates were a joke, too but not nearly as bad as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. 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
  1783. 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.

  1784. 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.

  1785. +GorillaGuerilla I never said otherwise. I was referring to the vein popping out of his forehead towards the end there.

  1786. My take is that the bikinis are excessive unless that's what they're going to be wearing on the job. If you want to make sure that your flight attendants look the absolute best in their uniforms, that totally fine. As Cenk said, Hooters is a prime example.
    1
  1787. LOL@ "bringing racism back to the White House." As though a black President somehow meant that there wasn't racism there any more. So naive.
    1
  1788. "You could defend free speech and choose not to offend millions of people." No. Free speech is a Right. There is no Right to not be offended. "Aren't you afraid of inciting violence?" Anyone who would cause harm to another person over a cartoon is in the wrong. Why not also ask openly gay men to go back in the closet to keep from "inciting violence?"
    1
  1789. This only requires a simple vetting process that doesn't have to deny anyone of a particular religion. Only of particular extremes. Question 1: Do you believe that Sharia Law is above the laws of the United States? 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.

  1790. +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
  1791. +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)?

  1795. 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.
    1
  1796. +Mayheamk K They didn't take over the Federal government. What are you talking about?
    1
  1797. +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
  1798. +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
  1799. +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.
    1
  1800. 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.

  1801. So glad other companies aren't doing this. As much as I liked my original Motorola Droid, I'd spam them with hate mail of they ever announced they were bringing it back (complete with Android 2.2).
    1
  1802. 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
  1803. +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
  1804. +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
  1805. +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
  1806. +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
  1807. +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
  1808. +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
  1809. +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
  1810. +Jesus Christ It's too bad that words aren't just interchangeable things with no meaning. Otherwise you might have a good point.
    1
  1811. +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
  1812. +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).

  1813. +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.

  1814. +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.

  1815. +Jesus Christ Yeah, because those kids wouldn't have been shot if the shooter had used 10 round mags instead...

  1819. +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.

  1820. 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.

  1821. +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
  1822. +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
  1823. +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
  1824. +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
  1825. +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
  1826. +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
  1827. +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
  1828. +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
  1829. +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
  1830. +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
  1831. +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
  1832. +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
  1833. +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
  1834. +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.

  1847. 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.

  1848. 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!

The majority of protests don't need extra police presence. Of the countless protests that have occurred in the US, only a very small percentage of them have turned violent. Of that already small percent, an even smaller percentage turned into more than what a few officers could handle. Face it. It's a money grab and a way to limit our First Amendment Rights. Plain and simple.

  1861. 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

  1865. 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.

  1868. 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.

  1870. "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.

  1872. +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
  1873. +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.

  1874. +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.
    1
  1875. +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
  1876. +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.

  1877. +Jesse and Jan No, I wasn't talking to you. That's why your name isn't anywhere in my last comment.

Again, you quoted it so you should know.

  1878. +Loon Atic What other reason? Maybe because it's a YouTube novel attached to the end of a conversation that has already gone on far longer than was necessary. In other words: because I'm now bored with this and I don't come to YouTube to be bored. And no, cheap tactics aren't going to work to goad me into doing what you want. I'm not some prideful teenager who can be easily trolled. Good day.

  1879. 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.

  1881. 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.

  1885. So now being suspected of something is the same as being convicted of it? Wow. It's sad how some people are so afraid of the world that they're willing to strip the Rights of anyone who gets put on some list. What are the requisites for being put on this list? Who decides? 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!

  1886. 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.

Anyone who wants to tax me for having a different skin color than someone else had better bring a more substantial argument than the drivel in this article.

  1897. +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.
    1
  1898. +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.

With all the bleeding hearts who are jumping on the "they can't control themselves" bandwagon, it's only a matter of time before these monsters are allowed to waive prison time in lieu of weekly therapy sessions and a promise not to do it again. 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.

  1910. +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.

  1913. +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
  1914. +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
  1915. +MaxadBarre You as well.
    1
  1916. +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
  1917. +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
  1918. +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.

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.

  1945. Or maybe, just maybe, he carries a gun to defend HIMSELF. As I've said before, a gun is not a cape. I'm not carrying so I can protect you. You are responsible for your own existence. 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.

  1946. +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.

  1948. +Meditche Gov. A) It's government property, not private property and trespassing there is a misdemeanor at best but more likely a ticketable infraction. 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
  1949. +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
  1950. +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.
    1
  1951. +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.

  1952. +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? I'm starting to think you're actually a conservative posing as a liberal to make them look bad. Is that the case? Am I a victim of some of the best trolling I've ever seen? If so, you win the Internet. If not, please start reading up on these subjects before you talk about them in public.

  1953. +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
  1954. +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
  1955. +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.

  1985. +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.

And you know, I find it interesting that for all of the gun control clamor from the Left, I haven't heard of a single petition to ban Kathy Griffin from buying a gun now. This is exactly the type of thing that should have gun control advocates up in arms; Someone who has made violent threats to another person, lost their job (and possibly career) and is publicly blaming the person she made the threats to in the first place. Oh, it's because she's who she is and her intended victim is who he is. That's right, I forgot. We have a longstanding tradition of double-standards in this Country.

  1991. - TYT champions the minimum wage increase. - Several of us mention that fast food restaurants will simply move towards automation faster, because it will be cheaper in the long run and executives won't foot the bill. - A fast food chain talks about moving towards automation faster if a minimum wage increase occurs. - TYT claims that it's just an excuse and there's no evidence that the minimum wage increase is the cause of fast food restaurants now considering moving towards automation. - The rest of us laugh at TYT for not understanding that a direct statement from a fast food executive, saying that they are considering automation due to the threat of a minimum wage increase, IS evidence unless someone can PROVE that he's lying. 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.

  1998. +Nox Lucis So...it's better for nobody to have the Right to defend themselves from radicals? All because those of you who don't like guns don't think others aren't capable of using them? That's a great perspective that sure was effective in Paris... Look, I get it. You're one of those people who doesn't trust yourself with a gun. 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. More importantly, your decision to kneel and cry should never hinder someone else's ability to stand and fight.

  1999. +Daan Steijger France already announced an airstrike in retaliation. So much for that argument. As for what the terrorists want: they want people huddled in fear and dying. It's that simple. They don't want people arming themselves and putting up a resistance. They want the "infidels" wiped from the face of the earth. 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.

  2001. +Sascha Kramarenko "Arming everyone with guns doesn't stop the massacres in America" Newsflash: Only about 1/3 of the US is armed and most of that is in rural and suburban areas. 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.
    1
  2002. +gusgus 1991 Well, considering the story you're commenting on is undeniable proof that NOT fighting back doesn't work, I don't think you have much of an argument. One hand: Terrorists attack, everyone is unarmed, hundreds of people die before the terrorists are finally killed. Other hand: Terrorists attack, armed citizens fire back, only a dozen or so die before the terrorists are killed. 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.
    1
  2003. +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
  2004. +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.

I'll happily respond tomorrow if you want to continue this but for now, I need sleep.

  2006. +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.

  2007. +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
  2008. +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.

  2009. +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.

    1
  2011. +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
  2012. +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
  2013. +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.

  2019. +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
  2020. +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
  2021. +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
  2022. +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
  2023. +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.

  2024. I love the emphasis "Jill Stein has raised millions of dollars for this..." And? That's not hard to do. Go on Kickstarter and you can find an endless supply of bad ideas that have raised millions of dollars. There has never been a shortage of people who are willing to waste money on frivolous crap that doesn't do anything. Furthermore, Clinton jumping in at this point is just disgusting. 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.

  2025. 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.

  2026. 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've seen plenty of one sided articles and reports from every major news source. The point isn't WHERE you get your news, it's whether you put it through the reality filter. 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.

People die slipping in a wet tub more often than out on the trail, even when accounting for the discrepancy between the demographics. That will probably change once you and yours are out there with your Cybertrucks, though. Hopefully when you cause even more overreaching legislation to protect people from themselves, they'll just ban EVs from the trails and not close them entirely. Fingers crossed!

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.

  2064.  @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.

  2085. Earthwalker40 I'd also clarify that the tank you could buy would not have a working cannon or gun turret. Those would have to be disabled. 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.

Great candidates for owning cast iron. People whose primary concern is whether something is maintanence-free and place actual performance in second place, should just go buy some teflon.

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.

  2116. b1itsjustme Last I checked, we've only ever "changed" one amendment and it was the one prohibiting us from having alcohol. Not siding with the other guy but we don't make a habit of using the Constitution to remove people's rights. The one time we did, it went very badly for everyone.
    1
  2117. 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.
    1
  2118. b1itsjustme No you won't. There are over five million members in the NRA and hundreds of businesses support it. They rewrote their bylaws so that the organization can't be derailed by mob rule. You have to be a lifetime member or a five+ year member to even vote for the officials who still answer to guys like LaPierre. You can't and won't take over the NRA. It's an empty threat. 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.

While there are a lot of idiotic politicians, most idiots are not politicians.

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.

  2137.  @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.

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.

The REAL issue is the more than 300 people who took in pets, only to abandon them when they became inconvenient.

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.

  2180. 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.

  2201.  @jaybee9269  Yeah, okay but in all seriousness, most Conservatives are going to be looking for another candidate, not a long-shot martyr. 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?
    1
  2202.  @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. If that's what passes for a patriot these days, the US is doomed.

  2204.  @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.

  2207. As a father of two, I do not think parents should be able to consent on behalf of their children for any of these things they're talking about. 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.

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.

  2211. 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.

  2214. ​ @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.

  2224.  @jasonsands5881  Yes, cities are. The highest concentrations of everything wrong with the world occur in large cities. Violence and pollution being chief among them. 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.

  2229. Call me Mommy Well, you can disagree with every law enforcement agent on the scene if it makes you feel better. It doesn't really matter. The facts are out there and one more looney screaming about it on YouTube doesn't affect that. I did get a chuckle from "A normal person doesn['t] argue with their mother in law and then go shoot numerous people attending church." That argument is dripping with the obvious flaw that a normal person doesn't shoot up a church FOR ANY REASON. Trying to claim that an unstable person won't do something extreme for one reason but will for another is ridiculous. Anyway, go ahead and fire off some edgy reply so you can feel like you "won" or whatever. Congratulations! Your prize is that you get to continue being wrong! Yay!

  2231. 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.

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.

  2255. 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...

  2266. To be fair, the Dewalt is made to perform best with Flexvolt batteries and the Ryobi with HP batteries. 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).

What's inhumane is people getting animals as pets and then changing their minds and turning them in to shelters.

  2280. 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.

  2288. "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.

  2292.  @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).

  2300. 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.

  2304.  @TheParentalRevolution  There have been zero deaths from Omicron. Therefore, it currently has a 100% survival rate. Your honest conversation consists of arguing against math.

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.

  2305. Whenever I see a story like this (way more often than we should) I wonder how many ballots aren't being dumped but are being taken, filled out, and sent in fraudulently.

  2306. It makes me sad that there are only about 4.5 million civilian guns in Ukraine. By contrast, there are over 600 million civilian guns in the US.

Ukraine's military and armed citizens (the militia) may be enough to push them back, if they work together.

  2315. 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.

  2316. 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.

Fortunately, Peterson saved it for them by being able to push through all of her empty and false accusations. It seems their plan backfired.

  2355. @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.

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.

Therefore, any and all Federal regulations over any drugs - other than interstate transport regulations - are, in fact, unconstitutional. 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.

  2403. 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.

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.

  2420.  @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.

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?

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?

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.

  2436.  @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.

That's my theory, anyway.

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.

  2453. ​ @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.

  2485. This whole topic boils down to some relatively simple steps. Step 1: Buy any combination of cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, and/or copper cookware. Step 2: Learn how to cook properly with your chosen cookware. Step 3: Stop pretending that having to scrub the occasional pan is some kind of oppressive act. Most of any stuck on food can be boiled off in a few minutes, anyway. It's called deglazing and everyone who knows how to cook knows it works for cleanup, as well as making sauces.

  2495. "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.

Everything looked so easy and nice. So, people started buying up rural land around the US, to try their hand at it. Then they found out that it's actually really hard work. As though all of the advancements in comfort and convenience that have been made over the past couple of centuries, were for no reason at all. Now, most of them are trying to sell their land and move back to the comforts of modern living.

  2508. 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.

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.

I like that you brought up traffic laws because just like with vaccines, he doesn't have to authority to make mandates about those, either. Traffic laws are State and local laws. Any Federal laws have to go through Congress. Executive orders don't cover such things, as POTUS has continually proven.

For the sake of ideological consistency, would you like to explore methods of making voter ID laws more fair...or repeal the Federal law requiring ID for firearm purchases?

A baby is not an assailant, therefore, it shouldn't be treated as such. Do you see how much mental gymnastics you have to do to compare the two? It's ridiculous. 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.

It typically goes something like "It's not my job to teach you how to be a better ally. You need to care about this enough to look into it and figure it out for yourself." 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. They have to protect their incredibly fragile view of the world, at all costs. It's would be fascinating if it wasn't so terrifying.

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.

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.

  2598. 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.

  2599. 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.

  2602.  @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.

  2625. 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.
    1
  2626. 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. I do not defend the actions of those men at all. They should be tried, sentenced and jailed. That doesn't mean that their actions equate to a sex trade obligation for all women at Fox News. Try harder.

  2642.  @MegaWeitzel  You think nobody in Europe is vaping? Then I'm guessing you've never been there. The EU has established very specific rules for the sale of e-liquid and e-cigarettes/mods because of the major impact vaping has had. The Royal College of Physicians has officially endorsed vaping as a safer alternative/cessation method for smoking tobacco. Vaping has hit Europe in a big way. They just don't demonize it the way certain groups in the US have.

  2643.  @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.

I'd say the odds are good that Kamala pulled the ol' Lewinsky kneel and bob in the oval office, to get Biden to give her a shot at running for president...and Jill found out.

  2679.  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.

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.

If nobody buys it as a trailer park, they'll evict everyone and sell it as an empty lot! Boo hoo all you want but these "evil people" are coming in and keeping these parks from closing. They're keeping these people from ending up on the streets. God forbid they actually make a buck in the process, right?

  2704.  @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.

The easiest way to tell if they are is to look at how many babysitters they need. We have a lot, already. It's past time for some real, human growth.

The British didn't out us because they still have the same deal going with several other nations and don't want us to take them down, too. Mutually assured destruction. The "dead" natives were all paid actors. That's how their ancestors could afford to build casinos years later. They were just waiting for that clause in their non-disclosure agreements to timeout, so they could get to spending the money. Do your homework.

If you're doing 55 mph, that's five and a half car lengths between you. It's an easy way to stay safe and not get pulled over.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  2808. Of course it is. Just like firearm purchase ID laws. They were designed to keep black people from legally obtaining firearms. 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 feel you deserve a particular wage, hold out for it. More men do this than women, so more men make a high salary than women. B) Yes, you can do whatever you want with your body. However, your actions always have consequences. If you decide to start eating a ton of unhealthy food, the consequence is often that you'll get fat. If you decide to have penile-vaginal sex, the consequence is often that you'll get pregnant. None of this stuff is rocket science. Feminists do their entire movement a disservice by seemingly not understanding relatively simple concepts.

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

  2832. My Suburban cost me $2500 almost six years ago. I've put maybe $8000 worth of gas in it in that time. I've probably spent a couple grand on maintenance. 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).

They even made sure to talk about several rifles as separate things (along with a few truly unique ones) to divert attention from the fact that they were AR pattern rifles.

  2861.  @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
  2862.  @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 vast majority of Trump supporters would still turn out to vote for either one, just to burn the Democrats for what they've been pulling.

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.

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.

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.

  2901.  @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
  2902.  @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
  2903.  @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.

  2904.  @Ryooken  You just defined migration the same way I did, yet you claim I'm the one who is clueless. Yes, please keep schooling me by repeating my words back to me and claiming I didn't say them. That'll show me!
    1
  2905.  @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. They simply have some overlap. From here out, please try to only argue with things I've actually said. I'm getting sick of your strawmen - they look nothing like me.

  2906.  @Ryooken  I never said any of that. Really, honestly, you NEED to work on your reading comprehension skills. All you've done is read what you wanted me to be saying into what I've actually said. Seriously. I have no reason to back-pedal because I don't care about you or your opinion of me. You could fall off the face of the earth tomorrow and I wouldn't lose a moment of sleep. I have no reason to try to change anything about what I said. I'm just not going to sit idly by while you put words in my mouth. Take off your blinders, swallow your pride and try again, without the bias. You will be utterly shocked at how differently it reads when you're not making presumptions. ...or don't. At this point you're really just a waste of my time. I don't really feel obliged to waste any more, one way or another. Learn from your mistakes, repeat them...it makes no difference to me. Have a nice life. Or don't. Your call.

Let's not kid ourselves; people are emotionally tied to their political parties the same way they are emotionally tied to their chosen sports teams. If Gary Johnson really is the best candidate the Libertarians can come up with, then the party is doomed. Nobody wanted him to be their President. The people who DID vote for him across party lines were doing so out of protest against the two worst candidates the Dems and Repubs ever produced...and the Libertarians STILL couldn't beat them.

  2928. 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?

More importantly, we wouldn't have had an industrial revolution, that has led to climate change aka the next great extinction event.

Just because someone isn't currently charged with a crime, doesn't mean their actions weren't criminal. As for the end there, you lost me.

  2945.  @GA_Styles  Cool story. Meanwhile, the cost of living in California is significantly higher than most other states. 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.

  2949.  @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. The fact that humans don't give birth to anything other than humans (as we already covered) means that human life begins at the very first stages of development.

  2962.  @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.

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.

  2966. 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.

It's funny that you crapped on someone for praying when what you propose is arguably just as unlikely to help.

Much better to pivot and go after the wife. After all, she's been pushing for sex to stay in the bedroom and out of sight of children. So, it was hypocritical for her to [checks notes] have sex in a bedroom and not in the sight of children... But hey, at least now there are swaths of kids who will hear about it. Some activist teachers might even talk about it in school. Just more of the same. The Right trying to keep sex in the bedroom and the Left trying to expose it to kids {ahem) the public.

  2989.  @skoolboi9901  True Conservatism would have saved the planet. If it weren't for "Progressives," people would all be living like the Amish right now. 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.

  2990. 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.

Since Walmart gets their pod supply directly from Juul and doesn't sell THC vapes, there's zero chance of anyone being affected by their products.

    1
  3012.  @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.

  3021. 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.

  3034. 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?

  3047. "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.

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.

  3075. @EmergenC1000 No, it's not. That number was for December 25th and 26th. Reporting agencies that were closed for Christmas added those numbers to the next day's report. This has been discussed on many videos and articles about our "record" number. Of course, they don't mention it in the headline because that wouldn't induce fear.

  3077. A) California has way too many people. Even without climate change, it's not sustainable. B) Grocery stores toss out literal tons of food every year. So much food goes to waste, even now. 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.

  3080. 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.

"But he was bullied" is a cop-out. Hundreds of millions of people have been bullied and we don't kill people over it.

  3105. 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.

  3124. 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.

  3127. 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.

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.

  3176.  @danielfox3003  You just did exactly what Briggs did: Admitted that the place sucks now but then tried to justify it. 'Other cities suck, too' is not the strong defense you think it is. 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.

  3177.  @danielfox3003  Nope, not into Shapiro either. There's strike three! Again, you elude to how bad it is by saying that you'd rather live in Portland than any other big city. 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.

If you don't, wait a month and drop your choice of custom ROMs on it. It's a fully hackable, open source game console! If you don't like what it is now, just turn it into something you do want. At absolute least, you can run XBMC on it and have a better set top box than anything else on the market.

  3193.  @nunyabusiness3082  Emphasis (bold) added by me. You're wrong. Any toy gun that looks like a real gun must be marked. Section 4 of the Federal Energy Management Improvement Act of 1988 made it unlawful for any person to manufacture, enter into commerce, ship, transport, or receive any toy, look-alike, or imitation firearm unless the firearm contains, or has affixed to it, a marking approved by the Secretary of Commerce. 15 U.S.C. 5001. 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).

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.

We've always been able to build guns because we've always had the right to own and carry guns. 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. You're unfit to govern in this Country. I'm talking to every politician and law enforcement officer in the US. Your limitations are clearly documented. Abide by the rules or find another job.

  3215. "Military style" huh? That's a funny term that misleads the ignorant. I have a "military style" sheath knife, too. 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."

  3219. @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.

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.

  3228. 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.

  3231. @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.

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.

  3254.  @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.

Give those a try. Otherwise, what you're doing is called procreation for a reason.

  3259. Your anecdote about your nephew is that at six years old, he ran at a burning propane tank...and none of you adults stopped him? Great. Well, now we know why he was dumb enough to try to fight someone who had a rifle, using a skateboard. The adults in his life never taught him any common sense. Meanwhile, Rittenhouse was the one he attacked. Your nephew hit someone in the head with a skateboard for the crime of...running away from an angry mob. Hmmm...yeah, no. That's not actually a crime. I'm sorry your nephew did what he did. If he hadn't tried to brain someone in the street, he would still be alive today.

  3273. 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).

  3283. 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.

  3290. 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.

  3291.  @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.

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.

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.

No, it was most likely kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies that did that.

  3371. A police officer patrols my children's school while another patrols the surrounding area. Nothing scary or militant, just a couple of officers hanging around. The only incident that has happened was a fight between two morons at the apartments across the street and the police were there in under two minutes. THAT is the kind of response time I want to see around schools. My city decided to go against the grain and use some of our officers to protect our most valuable resource: our children. If this windbag wasn't so caught up in his agenda and political grandstanding, he'd be telling other cities to do the same. Instead, he wants to waste everyone's time by stirring up the same stalemate we've been in for years. Gosh, let's fight about gun laws. That's the easiest way to ensure nothing effective gets done! But at least I'll get reelected by the people who are stupid enough to think that will ever change!

  3380. It's fun to play make believe on the internet, isn't it? Meanwhile, you're mad because some rodents were being used as snake food, instead of some other rodents being used as snake food. The only real difference is that these ones were an active burden on shelters, while the others are bred for the purpose. This helped solve a problem, while providing more food for animals that have owners who actually take care of them. I know, I know. That's a lot of deep thinking to ask of someone whose go-to response is "Hulk smash!" but still, you could at least try to do better.

  3381. 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.

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.

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.

  3408. 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!"

  3415. 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.

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.

  3457. California politicians don't have to justify anything. They have a solid super-majority and will keep it for the foreseeable future. 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.

All the while, they continue getting more people hooked on government assistance. Nobody votes Democrat harder than someone whose life depends on it. Again, not "unintended consequences." It's just called "the plan."

  3513.  @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
  3514.  @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. Rapists aren't out there with their fingers crossed - hoping against hope - that they are getting their victims pregnant. You can't possibly be that stupid.

  3551. 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.

  3558.  @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.

  3571. "If you noticed your car losing power over time, you may not need that new turbo to regain your speed." What an incredibly dumb statement. If you notice your power decreasing, of course that means you need to do maintenance work. Noticing a decrease in performance is not the same as simply wanting more performance than what you can get under optimal conditions. Who buys a turbo due to noticing decreased performance?

  3572. Nice slight of hand with the statistics: "In the UK, in 2014, there were 24 gun homicide deaths for the whole year. In the US on Christmas day, there were 27 deaths." Why are you comparing the number of people who were murdered with guns in the UK in one year...to the number of people who happened to die of anything on Christmas in the US? What a completely asinine comparison. Hell, even if we're talking gun deaths, you're intentionally including suicides, while omitting suicides in the UK. Government propaganda.

  3583. 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.

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.

One of my best friends grew up a ward of the State. He spent his childhood being bounced around from foster home to group home to foster home. He aged out. 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? Because it would have been easier for the mother he never knew, who went on to live her life without him.

  3601. As far as performance goes, here are your answers: The 9Ah is superior across the board. The closest you can get to it is the 6Ah HP and it's not that close. 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.

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?

  3611. 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.

  3613.  @martyzielinski1442  Neither can most snakes. You talking about the relatively few deadly snakes - when discussing pets - would be like me bringing up tigers and lions. 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.

  3614. 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.

The biggest difference is that even the relatively high levels of diacetyl found in cigarettes isn't causing popcorn lung, while the vitamin E acetate in certain THC cartridges are giving people issues.

  3648. 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).

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. They're not going to fight hard against decisions that bring back some sanity.

  3706. 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.

  3707.  @cindylou-who9193  Of course he's not alone. There are way more people who are mindlessly afraid of snakes than there are sane, rational people. 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.

  3711. Robert Nrobretual Your one vote means more when it comes to changing your State laws than when changing Federal laws. 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.

  3719.  @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.

  3726. ​@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.

Too many Dems will turn out specifically to vote against Trump. Too few Republicans will turn out to vote for a man who, the news media has convinced, will be in prison soon. Trump is one of the few people on earth who can't beat the Numb-skull In Chief right now. We're officially looking at four more years of the man who shit his pants in front of the Pope. Maybe I'll take an extended vacation until it's over. Then we get to see if Trump can beat Gruesome Newsom, when he runs for President - since he'll still be eligible for another four years at that point.

  3736. 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.

  3738. If the Democrats want to win in 2020, they have to choose a truly moderate candidate. Someone who makes those deep in either camp look like an extremist. The majority of people choose a party but neither party fully represents the majority of people. Someone who is reasonable and level-headed has a chance of winning in the next election. An extreme Leftist does not. That being said, I'm not sure they even know what a moderate looks like at this point.
