You must be a true coward to shudder at the idea that someone near you might actually be carrying a firearm. I suppose you believe it might go off by itself, or that Bernard Goetz-style incidents are a daily occurrence.
I'm not understanding why people don't seem to realize we also have all those things in the USA. Unfortunately, since there is little motivation for these folks to better themselves, families live for generations on public assistance instead of pulling themselves out.
The problem is when we have politicians bail out failing companies, then prop up those companies by creating a market for them USING OUR OWN TAX MONEY in an attempt to make themselves look good. To top it off, then they blame a weak recovery on "rich" people, when it's they who took away all the inexpensive transportation.
Please let me know where I can find a guy who is willing to pay $3,000 for a 1995 Civic with 199,000 miles on it. I'd like to see what a true sucker looks like.
Wow... if you think that "free market" types are behind the ACA, you're pretty clueless. The whole idea is to cause the system to collapse so that the government HAS to step in to take everything over.
Even if there was no social stigma attached, it would not be legal in this "progressive" day and age for the same reason you're forced to wear seat belts, motorcycle or bicycle helmets, and get vaccinations for your kids in public school. If we were to allow the risky sexual behavior that defines prostitution while forcing compliance with rules that only limit individual rights, we would be hypocrites of the highest order.
It's not the "no true Scotsman" argument any more than pointing out the fact that most atheists are peaceful doesn't mean Stalin couldn't possibly have been an atheist.
First, you assume that because someone is religious they must include references to God in everything they create, even legal documents. Second, you forget about the Declaration of Independence; while not the law of the land, it's evidence of the religious beliefs of the founders that you conveniently ignore.
Jeremiah Wright is a "brown person", and no one has hauled him in for questioning. Whether he believes in a slightly different god from the WBC is up for debate.

Thanks for the laugh, Captain Hyperbole.
I'm pretty sure locking the doors constitutes a safety violation.
No senior release? If I'm 18 years old and I have met the curriculum requirements, I'm bailing out after my last class.
One out of three ain't bad.
The federal government was essentially giving ANYONE free or cheap land in those days due to the manifest destiny ideology.
Professional drivers also don't have traction control or airbags.
White trash and rednecks are the only groups we're allowed to be bigoted toward anymore.

In my state of PA, we have folks complaining about paying $13.50 for a state ID and you're suggesting they buy a $3,000 car?
Unfortunately, you also sound and smell like a truck stop when you drive it.

If you want to see someone torture a three-wheeler, try Jeremy Clarkson.
That hasn't kept the "progressives" from requiring seat belts, helmets, and vaccinations.
I'm not sure why you're targeting the USA when the great majority of the world prohibits prostitution.

Apparently you missed the obvious evidence that the GP poster "agm" is the bigot you are looking for.

Anyone see the irony in that statement? You're part of the problem.
Who believes that we attacked Iraq for religious reasons, other than you and two moderators?

Straw man arguments like yours are part of the problem.
