"If you were to stop deforestation tomorrow, the world's established and regrowing forests would remove half of fossil fuel emissions,"
Doesn't this strike you as a tragic logic fail? Read through your argument. Trees reduce CO2, we have lost a lot of trees (abilility to remove CO2) and vastly increased CO2 output. HOWEVER all we need to do is "stop deforestation" (not even increase forest cover!) and we will magically remove half of all fossil fuel emissions?
Why don't you try being a nudist in USA and see how much people respect your right to choice. In some cultures eye contact is considered threatening. In most xenophobia like yours is quite offensive.
I'm going to start my own company to prove that free culture can be profitable for creators.
Great, are you going to do all that shit for free? Or are you just going to "set up a company" then try and get others to do all the creative work so you can slim something off what they do like a real pro?
Picking what things you need cover for? Sounds like a great fun game to play against your insurance company, you're bound to win against all those trained actuaries.
Indeed, how can you argue with people who say they'd prefer it if mothers died in childbirth or children died of cancer to having to pay a couple of dollars a month? It goes a little beyond selfishness.
In other countries in the world like India and China where death traps are still freely available? You don't think those would be available on the American market as well if those laws weren't in place?
Does it matter when they make a fortune buying and selling while they are going? You can bet when the tune stops even if they are accidentally still holding the bag they'll be looking for some recompense for their losses from public coffers.
Like it or not we are all "forced" to do things to live in a fair and reasonable society, you are just too blinkered by your preconceptions to realise that this is in fact essential. It would be worth remebering at this point as you've likely forgotten that this whole conversation is a result of your assertion that cars would be just as safe if it wasn't for the safety laws" (paraphrased) demonstrably wrong.
And you my friend are typical of the self-centred idiocy that proudly declares "No-one should infringe n my freedom" while being the first to whine like a little bitch as soon as someone beats you half to death and takes all your money. Make your mind up.
No, because I was wearing my seatbelt and safely protected by the mandatory safety features of my car when your thick skull passes through my windshield.
That's exactly what I've been saying! Would you like to buy one of my children's night lights? It's made with the very finest reclaimed plutonium, kids can keep it under their pillows and still see the gentle warming glow.

Actually going for a walk in the forest or grassland and eating lunch is pretty much the definition of "picnic".

And the award for worst use of statistics of the day goes to Rubycodez! Keep at it champ.
Mein Führer, have a bit of respect.

Maybe you should try and spend it so it serves it's purpose, that is literally the only use for money anyway.

Please show your examples from other countries with sane health care systems. Thanks.
Of course, that's why no-one gardens any more.

You're recommending a compressor to counter the over-compression of the TV signal to generate loudness?
You could try burning all those straw men you have.

That was a TFT touch screen so while it was technically capacitive it was still awful. Even casual use destroyed it and the precision wasn't there.
No, because I was wearing my seatbelt and safely protected by the mandatory safety features of my car when your thick skull passes through my windshield.
Because when your lifeless (but still ignorant) corpse flies through the window it might injure me.
Have you considered "fear of competition"?
Marked Flamebait, a travesty.

If the government didn't regulate safety you'd probably still be driving with no seatbelt on because it made it hard to reach the glovebox.
