Only jihadist culture is so demented that they think these videos help their cause.
Oh I don't know... ever seen a US Army recruiting commercial? Less gore by a longshot, but the principle is the same - glorification of war and violence under the tagline "kill people who disagree with your governing leaders!"
Remember the US soldier who slaughtered a bunch of women and kids with a machine gun? There are plenty of Americans who would be happy to show that video to the world over and over again - so maybe we're not the flawless, perfected society we seem to think ourselves when judging others.
If you're a parent and aren't using youtube's free, built in parental controls, that's your bad not society's. Don't be a douche and foist your responsibilities off on everyone else.
The right to travel is basically saying the government doesn't have a right to lock you into one position not allowing you to move by any means you have available to you.
Citation needed.
Also, if right to travel doesn't pertain to means of transportation, what if the government said private jets were now the only vehicle you could legally travel in? Wouldn't that prohibit our right to travel freely? Or are you going to pretend a person could walk from LA to NY in any amount of time considered reasonable in the 21st Century?
Speaking of prices, who pays the price when some untrained Uber taxi driver crashes during the emergency condition, causing emergency services to have to divert resources from where they are needed to handle the greedy idiot who crashed his car? The driver? Uber? Or does society pay for it, and thus have incentive to keep those morons from creating unnecessary dangerous situations in the name of avarice?
Price gouging, especially during an emergency situation, is illegal in many places. So basically what Uber is doing here is making themselves legally liable to return every red cent they collect over the normal rate during the snowstorm, not to mention inviting punitive damages.
Not that I disagree with the premise, but it's important to note that some people don't have access to busses nor horses (which, take it from the voice of experience, are really hard to park without being hassled), and cabs are too expensive... but they do own a car.
If we had kick-ass, Euro style public transit all over America, I would agree with you wholeheartedly. But we don't.
First, I'd like to point out that you would have had an excellent point here, if you hadn't resorted to generalization - no, not all gun rights advocates are 'Duck Dynasty' types who fail to properly handle their weapons. In fact, like most groups, the extreme idiots you speak of are a slim minority who just happens to be incredibly visible.
Second, regarding Ferguson - we were at fucking work. The whole world doesn't shut down because some fascist cops somewhere did some fascist shit. Yea, it's bullshit, and a lot of us feel that if we could have been there we would have, but you know what? We've got mortgages to pay and kids to feed.
Finally, also regarding Ferguson - where the fuck where you, Judgy McJudgington?
This. While people waste energy bitching about 3D printed guns, the Copyright Mafia is going to walk in like a boss, unopposed, and get all those unpleasant laws passed for themselves.
People have been able to make reasonably reliable firearms with $30 and a trip to the hardware store since... well, since the advent of hardware stores; Google 'zip guns.'
Still waiting to see nails, rubber bands, and steel pipe to be regulated.

Yea, because Islam is the problem, not intolerant pieces of shit who want the world to share their beliefs by means of force in general...
He's not claiming to. Which you would know had you read the actual conversation, rather than offering a kneejerk reaction.
Search Ebay for sold items with "Box Only" in the title. You'd be amazed how much some OEM boxes sell for.
Why is that a problem?
Because it's another example of turning Ask Slashdot into Slashdot, Please Do My Job.
Remind me to never ask you for directions. Sheesh.
And those that don't have it but claim they do give those of us who actually have Celiac Disease a bad name.

You don't have a right to be able to afford anything.
I never said that. You didn't really miss my entire point because I said "cabs are more expensive than owning a car," did you?
Go read the post I responded to, then read mine again.

That just made my morning, ha.
Did you read the part where it also erased his backups?
I think the moral here is, don't leave your backup drive plugged in when you're not running backups.
Wow, only $30,000 for a car with less than half the range of my $27,000 Volkswagen TDI? Where do I not sign up?
Seriously though, it would be nice if Chevy tried to one-up the competition for once, rather than catch-up to them.
I found the phrase "cradle-to-career" particularly onerous.
No kidding - remember when phone booths were a thing? Maybe we need to bring those back.
Remember that mentality next time you see someone you agree with trying to express a right.

I would recommend, if OP is concerned about criminals harming him or his loved ones, to get a gun and learn how to use it.
Something tells me he's not gonna go for it, though.

Was that so hard?
The guy elected previously tanked a baseball team and multiple oil companies. He was voted for by all the people who didn't vote for Obama.
By your logic (or rather, lack thereof), no one should be "allowed" their right to vote.
