anything more than a casual interest in guns, knives and other weapons should be kept an eye on, in children or adults.
I shudder to think what a LARPer or cosplay enthusiast might do if unleashed unsupervised on the public. What other unhealthy but perfectly legal interests should people be monitored for?
That would be your opinion, and in the US it's wrong, felony convictions and such notwithstanding. Is the phrase "gun rights" so frightening to you it really needs scare quotes?
which is fucking stupid to start with
It's a stupid opinion, I'll give you that, but you have the right to hold it.
And if you can't be arsed to certify...
There are many good arguments against having to have a license or certification, just look at places in the US where this idea has been implemented already.
the sense of entitlement is fucking sky high!.
I agree, you're incredibly entitled. You actually disregard the US Bill of Rights because what it says is contrary to what you think people should be doing. Amazing.
This cop may or may not have done something wrong.
Can we can agree that shooting and killing completely innocent people is "wrong"? Is there any indication this guy was NOT shot by a cop? So a POS caused the SWAT team to be dispatched. Sorta like calling in a fake bomb threat. When it comes down to reality, who pulled the trigger that ended an innocent life? What are we doing about THAT problem?
I am enjoying a delicious breakfast burrito. Who's the smart one now?
I think if you eat it while you're IN your coastal Florida house it balances out. You actually end up ahead if you have US gov't backed flood insurance.
So... Your point is that he typo'ed a number, and your correction makes his point stronger. Then you skipped pointing out the faulty "Logic" part entirely. Bravo!
I've explained it in the past with a car analogy. You get in your car, turn the key and just drive away, right? Everyone understands there is a TON more going on with their car and that they don't understand how it works though it's obvious it does. Explain that just like the car, doing better / faster / more elegantly gets more difficult to accomplish on the back end the simpler it looks to the end user on the front end. This is why it's not really fair to look at a well done piece of code and decide it's not an accomplishment.
It's another branch on the same tree. It's "I successfully lied to someone, how dare they?" To put it another way if I were to cut the brakes on someone's car and they get in an accident, it's their fault for driving their car with faulty breaks, right? It's Slashdot. We MUST have a car analogy!
There's an idea (that seems mostly promulgated by overweight people) that being obese is not a health issue. Anything implying that you might want to not be overweight might therefore be construed as a judgement that obesity is a bad thing. For a humorous example of these people, head over to YouTube and search on "fat acceptance".
That's deliberately to misconstrue which is quite the opposite of clarification. Don't be disingenuous.
Funny, I read that and hear the teacher from Charlie Brown squawking. I note you didn't clarify your needlessly verbose drivel there.
In answer to the question "What data are you referring to?" you answer "What do you want?". And then fail to link to any data. You don't even show any data. You do bring up STEM and admit we don't actually KNOW why there are less women in it despite the very serious efforts being made to get women into those fields. So... nice tap dance?
Even if formal legal equality has been achieved (and I'm not conceding that point), that hardly excludes gender based discrimination
I noticed that while you're not "conceding that point" you present no evidence to the contrary. Again. I'd also like to point out that because something is not excluded does not mean it's by default included. You can't claim a gender bias because gender bias is not excluded. You can posit it as a possibility.
Do you not see your family as a unit? Is this some war between you and your unfortunate wife?
Maybe you're OK with your wife exclusively defining who is legally part of your family, and that's your choice. I'm an active father. Not a bystander. To each their own.
There's nothing quite as pathetic as the sound of privilege crying "oppression."
I don't know, how about pompous male feminists with blinders on?
Once you reach a certain speed moving forward, you probably only do need to worry about what you can see through the windshield. How many multiples of "safe" that speed is would be a matter of debate. Regardless, "whoosh" seems an entirely appropriate comment under those circumstances.
What's more American than violence against Nazis, anyway?
I'd definitely put freedom of speech WAY higher in importance than violence against Nazis. Putting aside for a moment that freedom of speech is a defining characteristic of America to be proud of, I would say the removal of the freedom of speech would present a far greater threat to our country than Nazis. Do they really frighten you that much?
...repudiating nine-times' experience as a corrective to those other anecdotes to denigrate merely...
So to clarify that needlessly fancy statement, one anecdote counters all the ones in the article so nine-times' anecdote must be right. Sure buddy.
...data, that so clearly points to women, and not men, being the recipients of negative treatment on the basis of gender...
Now that's funny. What data are you referring to? Name me one right men have that women don't. Name me one law that elevates men over women. Have you ever known a man who has gotten a divorce? If you ever have kids, pay attention to how much the man gets to contribute to the entire process. It was certainly educational for me! Holy carp, what rock do you live under? Hang on, are you a feminist?
Ah! Clearly I misunderstood! I was under the impression that people were saying things they wanted to say (free speech) and other people were stifling that speech by removing / hiding / disappearing it. So you're saying that free speech isn't being stifled and something is being done to the Nazis themselves? Strange how I missed that part.
I fail to see how the content of the story affects weather nine-times' anecdote should be considered data. Did you have anything useful to contribute or are you just another blowhard AC?
When you read an article that describes this incredible thing and all the advantages it brings, and how easy / painless it would be to implement, I kinda start to feel like a car salesman is telling me how cheap some car is. I suspect there's more to the story, and quite possibly a good reason Apple's not enabling this service.
Anyone out there have the other half of the story? I'm gonna go get some caffeine.
Everything bad on the internet ends in ".ru", right?
There was a time when the smell of marijuana made me feel better about society. Not because of the drug itself, but that smell meant there were people out there who realized some of our rules are silly / outdated and refuse to follow them. Websites with the.ru domain are like that. They may be good bad or even illegal, but they probably have exactly what someone wanted to put up without respect to weather it's approved of in Germany or Ireland or America. In this context, "bad" is an awfully subjective concept.
People are doing something we don't agree with! And where they're doing it there's nothing wrong with it, so we're legally powerless! So let's whine about it really loudly!!!
Is this really a good way to react to a thing you don't like on the internet?

Spot on! Wish I had mod points, but I've been posting here anyway...

none of you deserve "gun rights"

"how do you protect yourself - individually or as a group - from tyranny _without_ having armed force as an option?"
Call the police?

I stand corrected. For anyone not already familiar with the (attempted) quote:

Absolutely. Why aren't you?

It's hard out there for "white male discontent".
I'd say free speech is taking quite a beating.
I fail to see how the content of the story affects weather nine-times' anecdote should be considered data.

Well as long as you have a personal anecdote I guess that's all the data we should ask for?
