Okay, so we're allowed one drink before we drive, and many people have their one drink before moving on to soda; but in the US it seems like people are happy to get totally blasted and crawl behind the wheel of a car... And then even talk about it with their friends afterwards instead of being suitably ashamed, which is bizarre to me
You know some real assholes. Our drunk-driving incidents would be much higher if this were actually the case.
The creator of MADD quit the group because she felt it had achieved its purpose of creating awareness of the dangers of drunk driving. It's too bad she didn't disband it first, because it turned into a temperance lobby.
At BAC 0.02%, your driving is not impaired in any meaningful way. Being mildly tired from a long day at work would have more of an impact. It's nice to see that the prohibitionist ladies that ruined the USA's liquor industry and emboldened organized crime in the 1920s are right at home in Norway.
Our lives are not impaired in any meaningful way, but we have less road accidents, fatalities and injuries per capita.
So has Larkin sniffed glue or used fireworks "inappropriately"? The UK is a country that allows Muslim clerics who call for the extermination of Jews in, but keeps martial artists and talk radio hosts who have committed no crime out.
There are a very few non-smoking bars in the city...you can't smoke inside, but they do have patios you can go out onto if you want to light one up. No one forces anyone to go into a smoking establishment (patron or worker)...it should be free choice for the owner of the private business.
These kind don't care, because being vaccinated is for the "common good" or "general welfare". They talk about "herd immunity" as if it's an argument in favor of vaccinations for health reasons, when it's really just an argument for vaccination for political reasons. Forcing a penis into someone's body for the "common good" is entirely within the realm of reason, given enough time and "progress".
News flash: nearly all kids are "disease ridden". I always get my worst stomach-emptying afflictions when I've spent a lot of time around someone else's kids-- vaccinated or no. Yours aren't little sparkling angels of cleanliness. And even if they were, if they had been vaccinated they'd be safe, right?
I agree that when someone makes an irrational argument, they totally should be brutally beaten. It's definitely the only way. I'm sure they'll see it your way once you bully them into submission.
Rich people can and do make their money by investing in domestic real estate and businesses. The fact is that someone has to risk money to research, produce, and sell a new product or service. Turning the control of our economy over to the worker would be a failure for us as it was for the Soviet Union, because the worker (the employee) does not see the big picture. If he did, he would get the most experience and education he could, then start his OWN business.
Some people just want to show up, do a decent job, make decent wages, and go home to be with their families. That's fine for them. But for some of us, we're bored and tired with that, and we want to put some of our time and money at risk with the hope that we can become investors or start businesses and be the boss-- or at least our OWN boss.
Rich people like Warren Buffett are laughing at how stupid we are to think that he's for the 99%. Why the hell would he advocate anything to harm himself? He already knows how to dodge his "Buffett Rule"! But he wants the new investor who is trying to get out of the cycle of employee-hood to be stonewalled by yet another in a long line of rules and regulations designed to stop the middle class from becoming rich and threatening the elite.
How many times do we have to soak those who are successful before we'll admit they've paid their "fair share"? It's like this commercial I heard on the radio today, telling me I should get some nice stuff for my Mom because the pain of childbirth was so nasty. That was nearly forty years ago! I hope I've made up for that by now (especially because she passed a few years ago).
No, it doesn't make sense because there are darn few Christians who were alive when these policies were in place. I'm not responsible for the unscriptural beliefs those who came before me, nor should I quietly endure intolerant "jokes" from trolls on Slashdot.
Hitler was born Catholic, and had Jewish friends when he was young. This is documented fact. I only hope that whoever modded me "Troll" chooses to enlighten himself before being allowed to moderate again.
Yeah, yeah, and Ted Nugent got unanimous applause for insinuating that he or someone else would assassinate the President.
That's funny... all I heard was Nugent claiming he would be dead or in jail. I kinda thought there could be a lot of other ways one could end up dead or in jail... and since Nugent didn't mention Obama being dead, assassinating the president isn't the most logical one.
The sad fact is that "life" is a basic right of the Englightenment, so if you believe a unborn child is human, you will oppose abortion. If you don't, you indeed would be insane to oppose abortion rights. This is not me advocating one side or another; it's just logic. Name calling, finger pointing, or downmods are simply a way of ignoring the issue.
Rand Paul doesn't oppose integration. Besides, forcing private businesses to do anything is inherently anti-freedom. It might be moral, but it de facto gives power to the government and takes it from the people.

Please don't summarily convict people for crimes you didn't personally witness.
False.
Maybe in Thailand.
By making such an absurd interpretation of his post, I think you proved just what kind of bigotry rules your own thoughts.
Pennsylvania used to require helmets, but STOPPED several years ago.

Post hoc.

It must be nice, living outside Amerika...

Actually, I take it back: he was a liberal... a classical liberal. Definitely did not believe in the righteousness of human government.
How stupid do you have to believe that Nugent is threatening anyone? You tell me. By the way, Jesus wasn't a liberal.

The spending on SDI was about $3 billion a year during Reagan's presidency.
Democracy! Segregation also had the support of the majority of citizens in some of the southern states.
Nonsense. And I said the same to everyone who protested my selection of avocado color-coordinated appliances.
