    So, you want the freedom to take other people's freedoms because you are a bigot?

    The first amendment guarentees everyone the freedom to practice their religion. It does not guarantee that you will not witness other's practicing of their religion.

    I guess the example I was thinking about doesn't involve the ACLU...however, I have seen previous examples where the ACLU sought to prevent other's from exercising their religion because they didn't like it, not because somehow the state was involved.

    I don't exactly think that $10 is expensive for a USB-C cable, and in fact, all of these cables that are bad are in that ballpark.

    Second Monoprice, but I have never bought something like a USB-C cable from them. (USB-C to C cables peak at 3 A, that is a huge amount of power to put through little cables)

    The ACLU believes we should all have freedom from ever seeing any religious practice. I don't even know how you could say they believe in any freedoms.

  5. The funniest part of the whole case was that it was a government owned phone. The FBI should have been able to gain access without any issue, but Apple decided that they wouldn't help in this specific case...

    Though all the conspiracy theories going around do come very close for second place.

    2) Apple unlocked the phone data for the FBI when asked.
    3) The FBI "lost" the password for the data that Apple had already provided in a manner that also meant Apple could not simply repeat what they did in step 2.

    WHAT? Links please, as everything I have read says that is not true.

  7. Buy only Anker cables? They are sold on Amazon, and are very high quality for pretty low prices.

    So, since you want to get rid of the military, have you called the constitutional convention needed and written up the constitutional amendment?

    Last I checked, NASA wasn't MANDATED by the constitution.

    I would say rabid environmentalists are anti-nuke, because they think the wind and solar power generation will totally produce enough power to decommission all the nuclear plants.

    1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: “XY” and “XX” are genetic markers of health – not genetic markers of a disorder.

    Corporate tax rates are based on profits. If the company spends all its money in various ways, it has no profit, therefore pays no tax. The only way to get around that would be to tax revenue, which would be like humans are taxed, on total income. I just don't see any other way to make it work.
