"The popularity of the image spawned urban legends that Santa Claus was invented by The Coca-Cola Company or that Santa wears red and white because they are the colors used to promote the Coca-Cola brand.[35] Historically, Coca-Cola was not the first soft drink company to utilize the modern image of Santa Claus in its advertising—White Rock Beverages had already used a red and white Santa to sell mineral water in 1915 and then in advertisements for its ginger ale in 1923.[36][37][38] Earlier still, Santa Claus had appeared dressed in red and white and essentially in his current form on several covers of Puck magazine in the first few years of the 20th century.[39]"

Why the hell would we want the folks in that state to have the ability to override the popular vote in the other 49 states, when they can't even get their own state into the democratic socialist utopia they're trying to make?
Pipelines are only safer then the alternatives when things like the safest route is taken. In this case the safest route was close to Bismark and the people of Bismark protested so the pipeline was moved to go under a lake instead of the shorter route under the river.
Completely wrong on multiple points.
1. It wasn't the safest route, 2. the people of Bismark didn't even have a chance to complain because the early plan was killed before it even got submitted to State-level agencies. 3. It wasn't the shortest route either. 4. It's still going under the river. The 'Lake' is a manmade reservoir in which the river was just widened via a dam.
The Army Corps of Engineers nixed the idea because it made the pipeline 10 miles longer AND it make it much harder to keep the pipeline the minimum 500 feet from homes and put the water of far more people at risk. http://abcnews.go.com/US/previ...
Just an FYI, the entire state of North Dakota has less than 1 million people. Bismark has 67k people, and the entire Standing Rock Reservation has about 8k people.
Also FYI - over 80% of those arrested at the DAPL protests are not Natives - neither North Dakota/South Dakota citizens, nor Standing Rock tribal members.
I think the Standing Rock tribe did get screwed repeatedly historically, and had a right to protest and be heard. However, the Army Corps of Engineers hadn't even made their determination regarding permits to go under the river yet, so none of the sabotage and militant action was justified. All the idiots going "Hey, Why did Bismark get a pass? RACISM!" were jumping the gun because the same agency that made the determination RE: BIsmark were still assessing the Standing Rock crossing - the approval process hadn't even been completed yet.
In reality, most of the protesters currently at the camp in ND have been bouncing from one camp to another along the route causing trouble, spills, and related environmental damage. http://www.dailykos.com/story/...
The Standing Rock camp just got the most publicity, and the tribe got used again. This time for the alt-left's ideological extremism.
Not following the voters' will is the entire purpose of the electoral college.
Uh, no. They're following the voters' will IN THEIR STATE. Trump won the popular vote in 30 of the states. Clinton won in 20 - including California, and that state's electors will vote for her.
Complaining about the unfairness of the electoral college while pining for the ONE state that gave her the extra 4 million votes to have the power to sway the election is just ludicrous.
Uh, no. It accepts that black people are more likely to get shot as a percentage of population.
There's a reason for that - as a percentage of population, blacks are more likely to be involved in both non-violent and violent crime, which makes them (as a percentage of population) far more likely to interact with police, than whites. (FBI/Census)
For example: despite blacks being only 13% of the overall population, there were more black murder victims than White and Latino combined - and over 90% were killed by black perpetrators.
This is what annoys the hell out of me in regards to all these claims of police racism. For the most part, when controlled for actual crime rates and police interaction, the claims don't hold up and generally suggest the opposite.
Fake news? Misleading news? Where does the deliberate selection of one statistic while leaving out context and 'explanatory' information in favor of an ideological position fit in to this discussion?
These statistics aren't 'racist' but if you (or a newspaper) use them, that's the first accusation they'll face.
It might have been 'steadily declining' but the rate of decline increased drastically starting in mid 2008. http://www.tradingeconomics.co... (switch it to line graph)
And just because someone has a 'job' doesn't mean it's a good job - in fact there are a lot of very skilled people who are working shit jobs just to put food on the table because their previous jobs have never come back. Gallup has a very nice ongoing poll that shows just how bad it really is: http://www.gallup.com/poll/125...
If you total all of the other 49 states (including all of those "highly populated areas") leaving out California, the results are thus:
Trump: 58.4M Clinton: 56.9M
Clinton only wins the popular vote because of a 5 million vote swing in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Somehow people are complaining that the electoral vote is unfair, while their own proposed system (straight vote) would have just one populous and ideologically-homogeneous area having the power to over-ride the results of the other 49 states. This is proof the electoral college WORKS, not the other way around.
Clinton only has a lead in the popular vote because of ONE state - California. Take California out of the mix, and Trump wins by MILLIONS when the popular vote is totaled from the other 49 states.
Arguing about the unfairness of the electoral college and the supposed inequality in relative weight of votes in regards to electoral value is completely insane when the end result would be that picking up a few extra million votes in just one populous state would negate the value of votes in the other 49.
We are NOT A DEMOCRACY. There are well documented and valid reasons for that decision. The fact that in this instance just one regional population group could have dictated the election in the proposed system - counter to the results of the other 49 states - is a perfect example of the wisdom of the existing electoral college system.
Seriously. A perfect example of how average individuals get fscked while the rich can do what they want. Every other fucking tweet/instagram/facebook post by a celeb is a commercial endorsement of some sort, I don't see the FTC making a fuss - until it's a (well-dressed) average American - THEN it's a problem.
The grenade can inflict injuries (e.g. penetrating eye wounds) out to 15 metres (49 ft) from the site of detonation. Victims caught within 3 metres (10 ft) of the detonation site are almost certain to be killed or severely wounded."
If you think all these words are confusing, you should really stop.
regulated - this one I'll admit is confusing from modern times. It meant self-organizing. Back in the day a town or village, if there were a need(war), the people would grab their guns and supplies, self-organize, and choose their captains/leaders before reporting for duty. A perfect example of this is Abraham Lincoln, who was elected captain of his first volunteer company that was organized to fight Black Hawk. He was elected by popular vote with no military experience. The company then reported for duty and swore allegiance.
Militia - means the same thing it always has, the media has just turned it into a negative security - means the same thing, self-protection. State - means the same thing, self-organized independent grouping of people. See 'nation-state' or 'city-state' people - means the same thing it always has, the general population. "bear arms" - again, same thing, the ability to own and use weapons infringed - unbelivable that his confuses you - means restricted and/or removed.
You can not have a weapon without buying it first.
Not correct. You can make any standard firearm at home - rifle, handgun, shotgun, completely legally. You don't need a license unless you start selling/transferring, or if you're making full-auto/destructive device weapons.
And for that matter, states often don't ban the outright ownership of the swords,brass knuckles, etc. Instead the public possession of them is outlawed. In Minnesota, I can own an auto-knife/switchblade.sword. But I can't carry it in public.
They cannot die soon enough. 95% of my mail is paper spam that goes straight into the trash. The rest is either packages (that could go by UPS instead) or bills from Luddite companies that are too dumb to figure out how to save money by sending e-bills.
USPS is faster and cheaper for 90% of the stuff I ship or receive, I've got no complaints. As for the junk mail, blame the credit card companies.
I haven't sent or received a personal letter in over a decade. Why would anyone prefer that over email?
No cards? No official mail? Not much of a life eh?
Plenty of countries no longer have a government run postal service. They are doing just fine.
Our postal service isn't really government run (well, depending on your definitions I guess). It's a self-financing entity that has a bit of government protection while the employees are considered civil servants. As long as it's self-financing, there's really no reason not to have it around.
For some reason they seem to hire people who can't read an address, let alone get out of their fucking car.
Delivery #1 - Phone call from Washington DC number, girl who can't speak English asks for wrong name, asks if I live at address that is incorrect. Once I figure out who the hell it is, I say correct address they say ok. (It's an apartment, there's a fricking buzzer) 1 hour later I get call from same number, I tell her to buzz the door, she doesn't, says she's outside. I go outside and she's half a block down buzzing the wrong building. (our buildings are clearly marked with the number on it) FFS lady!
Delivery #2 - Another call from DC number, dude says he's outside. I go outside, and dude is parked in the middle of the street blocking traffic, opens his door and passes the box to me from the seat of his car.
These people are wearing Amazon badges/clothing. It's a wonder they managed to get dressed in the morning.
FYI - I get packages _all the time_ and FedEx, UPS, and USPS - even DHL has never had a single problem delivering to me.
That's just a single case. There are plenty of situations that you need papers or you're doing something illegally/black market. Want to rent an apartment? want to buy a house? want a loan? want benefits? want a job?
Again, I've have no concerns or sympathy for someone who who chooses to live as a cash-only squatter. Legal immigrants don't have this problem, working people don't have this problem, retired pensioners don't have this problem.
"Historically, in this country, the social contract has not amounted to "papers, please!" That was supposed to be the kind of thing reserved for commies and fascists,"
Popular myth and Hollywood. And yes, the social contract HAS generally demanded that you produce papers. You want a job? Papers please. You want a loan? Papers please. You want government benefits? Papers please!
"Also, driver's license does not actually signify either citizenship or legal status. The amount of supporting documentation that is required to issue one varies from state to state, and not all of them ask for an SSN. Of course, even if it did, not everyone has a driver's license - as the name makes evident, it's a document that is issued for a specific reason, and not all people even need it."
You're right that it doesn't signify citizenship or legal status, but it does establish identity. And the supporting documentation required to get one does require establishing said identity - or did until some of these states changed the laws so that illegal immigrants could get a driver's license (and those driver's licenses are different from 'normal' driver's licenses.)
"how exactly you imagine checking for it."
The same way we've already been doing it: you want a job? Papers please. You want a loan? Papers please. You want government benefits? Papers please! The problem is right now we're not enforcing it hard enough - _punish_ companies/people using illegal labor and they'll stop doing it once it's no longer cost-effective.
In the US your driver's license is often enough, as you had to provide a SSN for that, and to get an SSN you need to prove your identity and eligibility. Which the vast majority of Americans have, and legal immigrants are expected to have their green card on them.
Proving you are who you say you are, and that you have the right you say you have, doesn't seem any more of a burden than having to actually pay for your groceries at the store.
One really has to wonder why some people don't have a birth certificate/SSN/Identification. I'd wager that the vast majority (save for older folks born in remote areas) don't have a legitimate reason, as they've apparently not worked in this country, or worked for cash (and haven't paid taxes), etc. Aside from a few legitimate cases, I really don't care about the rest of these people who have already decided to live outside the social contract.
"I thought the whole thing was a honeypot designed to get the contact info for crackpots and terrorists in the first place; if it wasn't I might have ordered one."
Your ignorance of the law is disheartening. It's not illegal to make your own gun, it's just illegal to sell it.
"Fix the real problem, control the receivers just like finished rifles!"
What problem? Rifles are used less than fists or knives to murder someone. Your ignorance of basic knowledge of any so-called 'problem' is asinine.
It's over 300m, last estimate I saw was 350m. I like it when people bring numbers into this argument because people often forget the scale of this issue, and they also forget to compare numbers from various sources to look at the big picture.
1980: Population - 220m Guns - 175m Homicides 23,000
2014 (2015 FBI crime stats are _still_ not released..) Population - 320m Guns - 350m Homicides 14,000
For all of the whining about guns not making people safer, that more guns equals more murders/crimes, etc, an actual look at some basic data very very strongly suggests otherwise.
I appreciate what Johnson is doing, and most of what he stands for - I even voted for him in the last election.
However his stances on Immigration and labor/jobs have always concerned me, Johnson is a libertarian, and the libertarian position on labor is ridiculously business-friendly, and the immigration position is akin to open borders.
After watching entertainment and other companies like Disney exploit H1-Bs, listening to tech cos cry wolf on the lack of STEM-qualified applicants to justify their actions, outsourcing countless manufacturing/tech/service/etc jobs, I've had enough. Fixing the artificially-depressed labor market,and ending immigrant labor exploitation are important priorities for me this year - and they may have the side effect of reducing crime and helping with some social issues - a community that works is a community that works.
Johnson isn't going to fix immigration and labor, it's against his party's principles.
