  1. Re:Really? on Using a Bomb Robot to Kill a Suspect Is an Unprecedented Shift in Policing (vice.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Both jobs entail this - I've been a cop and quit because I could stand the fact that there were too many scumbags with badges and I had to deal with too many scumbags without badges. I'm a fireman now and I tell you this: Both jobs require that you risk your life, and you do it gladly because you're helping to protect the society in which you live. But when someone is trying to kill you indiscriminately because of the job you do, that is just terrorism, pure and simple.

    I actually find Liberals WORSE than conservatives for being authoritarian.

    Sorry, you're wrong. Conservatives tend to believe in rule of law, with the law being reasonable. Liberals tend to believe in the supremecy of the state over the individual. Frankly, there are no American conservatives for the most part - they're all liberals.

    And I vaguely remember seeing a similar article in 1999, saying that the ozone layer would be back to the 1960s levels by the 2030s. Or something.

    You really nailed it!

  7. If as a nation the USA (and presumably other first world countries) are going to compete, it's creativity and innovation that is going to get us there, NOT conformity. One of the problems we are having now is that schools are turning out masses of drones who can't think - though the little snowflakes believe they are the best thing since sliced bread for the world.

    I hear what you are saying. But it is mathematically impossible for a libertarian to win the presidency. So a vote for libertarian is a vote for a Democrat - because the only people who vote libertarian are right leaning people - in the sense that 'right' means 'individuals have more rights than the state.' This is the pragmatic truth.

    True but I would argue that Mrs. Clinton HAS murdered a lot of people and is dishonest about it. So that's two strikes against her.

  11. I suspect AC's comment was sarcasm. But of course, I do not know this. BTW I have a stay at home wife. We discussed it and she decided she'd rather be at home than out in the paid workforce. But the problem we now see is that women who CHOOSE to stay out of the paid workforce are poorly treated by women who are in paid work. I rather always thought that 'liberation' meant that you had more choices, rather than fewer.

    And if you factor out black on black crime - and black on non black crime - our violent crime rate drops way closer to western European levels. Unfortunately this is not politically correct so it isn't possible to research to figure out why this is so - because to do so would be said to be racist. Personally I think ignoring it is more racist, but that's the left's idea, not mine.

    Um, I really hate to tell you this, but the NRA supports law abiding people having the right to own arms if they chose to regardless of skin color. It is the national socialist democrats who do not.

    These trends were way in evidence prior to the 1980s. They really started with the hippies in the 1960s who said 'destroy the establishment' aka 'destroy the country.' Are we surprised that they have? And that they are now in power in this administration? And the last one? And the one before that?

    Of course it is, but it's Democrats who are the racists, as they have been since they enacted first gun control in South Carolina to keep freed slaves from getting weapons. It's hard to believe how a party that claims to be so antiracist is so pro-racist. Such a tragedy, because they've collectively destroyed blacks in America.

    It would be hard for Scotland to secede from Great Britain. From the United Kingdom, yes, which is a political entity but last I noted, GB was the island on which they lived. And Northern Ireland is in ... Ireland, not Great Britain.

    I don't make fun of people who get a liberal education - despite having a technical degree I've read history, literature, and other traditionally 'liberal arts' items. I make fun of people who get liberal arts degrees having learned absolutely zero about anything of consequence. History, literature, philosophy, are NOT in that category, though they are difficult to apply as a job related skill except to be well read and able to communicate.

    hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha Most of the laws on the books are unconstitutional.
