    No, just give them money; just enough to live and not become a worse burden through crime and homelessness. It's called a Basic Income or Negative Income Tax.

    I really doubt that copies can also occupy the same space time coordinate.

    I don't see why that is convincing. If you replace one block it becomes "the original ship of Theseus minus one block", and eventually "about half the original ship of Theseus, the rest a restoration", then "a restoration of the ship of Theseus, with a few original pieces" and then just a replica.

  21. Re:it tells you one thing, at least on Adam Lanza Destroyed His Computer Before Rampage · · Score: 1

    http://www.aic.gov.au/statistics/homicide.html It has been on a declining trend with no statistically significant fluctuations (note only 300 total homicides). Note also that a constant homicide rate is actually about -5% year on year in per capita due to pop growth. Australia never had gun culture or ghetto culture so the homicide rate was always really low. Regardless it's all a strawman. Most of the calls for gun control stem from preventing massacres not low number homicide. In that regard the Australian gun control worked perfectly - we have had zero since Port Arthur.

  22. Re:it tells you one thing, at least on Adam Lanza Destroyed His Computer Before Rampage · · Score: 1

    1. no we have proper gun control. every gun must be registered and have a purpose, i.e. you must belong to a shooting club or own a license. 2. therefore not 100% of guns have been taken. and a 30x drop is the opposite of not working, if you aren't stupid 3. adam lanza was not a criminal he was mentally ill
