While most of the examples you have given *could* be stopped if the crime committed is in progress by a beat cop the majority are up to detectives and special divisions of the police force to handle/solve, which you usually don't see driving around in marked cars.
People are often pulled over by police in unmarked cars, as well. It's part of the fundraising by the police state. If I were governor of my state, unmarked cars would be illegal to use except by detectives. An unmarked car can still be identified as police because of the modifications, but they've purposely made the most obvious part-- the light bar-- extremely small. If you are in REAL trouble and need a cop, you won't even be able to find a cruiser because it'll mostly look like any old Charger or Taurus. If they're really supposed to protect us, as the anti-gun lobby suggests, they need to be VISIBLE.
Yes, it does matter. I think the lesson here is that someone died because TWO drivers weren't paying attention. Thus, not paying attention is the issue. In the same situation, if the stopped driver had been playing with his stereo or looking through the glove box, he would be no more or less in danger.
You're right, they are wrong. It's the loosening of lending requirements by Fannie and Freddie in 1999 that caused the bubble. The Bush administration wanted to create an agency in the Treasury department to oversee them, but Barney Frank and his buddies shot it down. Ironically, in 2006 Frank claimed Republicans tried to do nothing to avoid the crisis.
Last I heard, your broadband already sucked and was controlled by two companies. And I hate to burst your socialist bubble, but it doesn't matter whether the government is left or right wing. With state capitalism, you have two or three companies in fake competition with poor service. With socialism, you have one company, no competition, and poor service.
I could have told you that putting a ski resort on top of a landfill was stupid. For one, the purpose of a landfill is for the trash to actually break down; this is an exothermic process that is going to give off heat-- not something you want happening on your ski slope. How about not cherry-picking worst-case scenarios and really talking about solutions?
We've come close to solving the REAL pollution issue with oil. The sulfur and CO emissions from vehicles are amazingly low. That, since you were apparently born yesterday, was what environmentalists focused on before big, bag climate change. The second big problem, of course, is the rare oil spill. This doesn't fix that, but until it is no longer human nature to cut corners or make mistakes we're never going to stop having problems like that.
Why don't you leave them alone? Does it really bother you that others live differently? I doubt you'd mess with them if they retaliated, right? So you're bullying someone because you know they are peaceful and won't pose a threat to you.
Could you really have missed my point? Biden only wants subjects to have shotguns for self-defense, yet the latest murderer decided to use a shotgun to kill 12 people. Clearly, banning the rifles Biden doesn't like would make little difference when one can kill 12 people in minutes with a shotgun.
You need to actually study philosophy a little before arguing again that the right to arms is only a right in the US. It's a right of everyone; it's just the US that protects it the best. Try Kant, Hume, Hobbes, and Locke. Arguing that it isn't a right because people abuse it is like arguing I don't have a right to a penis because some men commit rape.

It doesn't make a difference as long as you're still living in your mom's basement.
Who said anything about health care? You also have rampant censorship of media and video games, and no firearm rights. Irrelevant.
How many more rivers can we dam? How many more towns can we flood?
I'm sure they'd love to hear you say that in person. I'll buy you a plane ticket.
I'd let these guys use the inverter in my car for .001 BTC/min.
To be fair, DSL in 1997 was 256K-640K. Now it's 1-2 M.

I think cocks like you need to stop quashing debate and try holding your ideas up to your own lofty ideals.

It won't bring back the dodo, solve the honey bee population drop, or put the genie back in the bottle either.
One problem at a time. We don't need a world dictator to crush everyone under his boot-heel so that ideologues can have their Gaia.
Or make them speak like C3PO. It'll make picking up their body parts and stuffing them in a Wookiee's backpack that much more satisfying.
Nope, patent examiners have a union. They can't strike, but they'll make sure Congress and the President keep the status quo.
If it's legal in Arizona to have that plate frame, that police officer broke the law by pulling you over.
No, what that study proved is that people are lied to so often, that once they form an opinion they simply refuse to believe anything new.

That makes you the bad guy.

Any of those semiautomatic arms suitable for military use? Didn't think so.
What is the "crime index"? Only crimes involving firearms?
First you would have to present evidence that the draft is the cause of the low incidence of crime using firearms. I say it is the training.
