    You also need to consider how many more gun deaths/crimes occur because of the increased availability of guns

    "Their censorship is generally harmful and undesirable. We'd be better off without their blatant political bias"

    But how can I tell if what you are saying is true if you can't point to the comments that you say were unjustly pulled.

  3. I think your talking about what people call vacation sex with a no strings attached guarantee, they could pay for sex in Canada if they wanted to but a vacation is a vacation, and it's nice to hear that they're helping you raise your self-esteem.

  4. Yeah, I guess your referring to Trump, but as a rule I don't see what's good about repulsing most women and being charged with sexual assault.

  5. "However, many women actually like guys who act like men and give women attention. Not talking about the attention from aggressive alpha-males who are macho and groping. Rather, guys who understand and appreciate that women are different than men and rejoice in the feminine side"

    Kind of but I'd be less categorical in general. The feminine side can also include being clearer about your interest in a specific individual and in each step along the way of a burgeoning relationship.

  6. "When middle-aged Québecoise housewives come back from their cheap all-inclusive trips to Cuba, they all gush about how "real men" hit on them aggressively over there"

    Women have explained to me it's obvious that these "real men" are simply looking for a way into Canada.

    I'd guess that people are starting to realize that the autopilot tech that's been hyped as just around the corner isn't really going to happen, and in the meantime the auto industry will continue with it's incremental improvements and that maybe one day, with the some combination of 'smart cars' and 'smart roads', we'll start to see vehicles that can actually be referred to as self piloting.

  8. And spelling mistakes: "that was very good" is rated 1% likely toxic, and "that was veri good" is rated 6% likely toxic.

  9. It's not the same for all listeners, part of the interest of radio or broadcast TV, is the idea that others are listening to the same thing at the same time.

    Making rules to bypass current law while hoping the rules won't be challenged is a republican thing too. Eventually the rule usually gets changed but in the mean time they got their way.

    Sadly it's just as much a republican thing too

    From NYT's the article:

    "China calls them “ecological migrants”: 329,000 people whom the government had relocated from lands distressed by climate change, industrialization, poor policies and human activity to 161 hastily built villages. They were the fifth wave in an environmental and poverty alleviation program that has resettled 1.14 million residents of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, a territory of dunes and mosques and camels along the ancient Silk Road."

  17. I'm not suggesting the US ban all outsiders, I'm suggesting the value of the ban is highly questionable.

  18. "I support the ban - our safety comes ahead of their convenience"

    But does it increase your safety. What about other countries, what about those that get through anyway, what about 9/11 terrorists, 15 where from Saudi Arabia, two where from the United Arab Emirates, and one was from Egypt, and one was from Lebanon.

  19. Understood, thanks, I misread "and that's it"

  20. Right, it was the "and that's it" that threw me off.

  21. "the brain you are born with affects the personality you exhibit in life, and that's it."

    I wonder how you got that idea, and what happened to environmental shaping.

    "so in that case why do anything? right?"

    If one thinks natural selection implies we can't choose or our choices are meaningless, maybe, but I don't, and natural selection doesn't imply it.

    My point second point was directed towards arguments in general that use the idea that x is wrong because it is tampering with natural selection, which I disagree with for the reasons I wrote.

    "I'm talking about warning label stupid"

    That is very common, even in higher iq people, and anyone with an iq of 70 can drive a car. So if you don't want to get hit by a car driven by a 'stupid' person it's good to tone down the 'autopilot' analogy.

    "We have tampered with natural selection with our regulations and safety labels"

    Some low iq people are more intelligent than some high iq people in many situations. Natural selection seems to prefer a large spread of iq. Human's are part of the process of natural selection, we can't step out of it, i.e. in a general sense, if we tamper, the tampering has been naturally selected.

    "there has to be some kind of a time limit where after X seconds decelerate"

    It seems like it takes from 1 to 5 minutes for a warning depending on road conditions, and then a series of 3 warnings every 15 seconds after that.
