Like Christian fundies who miss the point when they look at gay people asking for the right to marry and assume the demand is for anything to marry anything else
That's not what they're assuming. They're using a slippery slope argument. If they pointed out that it's unfair that polygamy is still illegal, that would be a more solid line of reasoning.
Hurricane Sandy was barely a CAT 1, and "major" hurricanes are CAT 3 and above. So the OP could have been correct if he had said "no major hurricanes in the last 10 years," which would address the scaremongerers post-Katrina/Wilma who, with no evidence to back them, claimed that we would be experiencing dozens of major hurricanes by now.
But thanks to our steadfast refusal to address climate change
We (as in both private parties and governments alike) are addressing it-- it's just that we're not really addressing it enough. This bullshit trolling causing the fences-sitters to jump over to the true deniers and dig in.
You know that if any appreciable number of people (like, 1% of the population should be enough) take your strategy, they're going to ban those cars from the road? It will probably take the path of forcing anyone who has a non-networked vehicle to get a "vintage" registration that limits the annual mileage.
The idea is that it's short-circuiting the natural selection that would make women with narrow pelvises less likely to pass on their genetic characteristics.
Because, of course, everyone is responsible for the actions of his adult children. They're essentially the same person, so if your offspring does something foolish, you should suffer the same fate.
First of all, certain things are required on the packaging. Those are regulations.
The ingredients list is one of those things. It's supposed to reflect what is inside. If it doesn't, that's fraud.
If you want to ensure that every container accurately reflects its ingredients, you'll have to have FDA inspectors present at every production facility, just like USDA inspectors are present at every slaughterhouse.
You'll be sure there's aloe in the aloe gel. The only problem is, it will cost so much to manufacture that only megacorps will be able to sell any. Small businesses will be shut out. And the products will probably cost twice as much.
What we need are more studies like these, to catch the fraudsters-- not more regulations.
Seriously... I never engaged in rampant shoplifting, arson, or vandalism. I may have TP'd a house. I stole something ONCE. Call me goody two-shoes. My parents had too much oversight to allow me to roam with packs.
*sigh* He's not. You never saw Rev. Sharpton hanging out with David Duke, but you saw him with Trump. You saw Jesse Jackson with Trump. You saw Latinos rallying for Trump
This "Trump is a racist" meme was entirely fabricated by the left-wing media that took offense to his "Mexican rapist" speech-- when "Mexican" is a nationality and arguably an ethnicity, not a race-- and decided to pretend he was advocating for white supremacy. Trump also once made a contemptuous statement about women-- about the same time Hillary was calling young black men "superpredators" and lauding the continued disarmament of them through gun control laws. I am aghast at how much traction this completely fact-free narrative took-- but not surprised, because it's easier to vilify someone than refute his points and policies. And I'm a guy who voted for Gary Johnson.
It's funny how state agreements outside the Constitution are OK when they're left-wing states. They could form a Constitutional Convention, and abolish the electoral college that way, but no-- that would give weight to the smaller states, and they would need 75% of the states to ratify. Let's just have populous states like California and NY make all of our decisions for us, instead.
In related news, US President Barack Obama also criticized the telephone, SMS, email, the USPS, cubicle walls, break rooms, dinner parties, and little folded pieces of paper passed in Math class* for repeating "attacks" and "outright lies".
* yes, kids probably don't do this anymore and it really dates me to say so. Suck it.
I installed Windows 10 on a Compaq laptop from 2006 that was running XP (and "designed for Vista"). By technical standards, this is an unwise move. But this is a platform that Microsoft claims will run as well on Windows 10, if not better.
It has 2 GB RAM and passed the assessment. With Windows 10, every time I boot it grinds the hard disk for 15 minutes straight, updating Defender and basically using all the RAM on the system for its own purposes. It would also force updates and REBOOT WHILE I WAS USING IT until I used domain policy to disable that. It's only by having it linked to a domain that this PC is usable. I do still have to disable, then enable the driver for the sound card on every boot, because even though it passed the assessment the sound card does not work until I do this.

Hi, I'm a "reading the fucking post before you respond Nazi".
The OP was missing punctuation, case, AND NEWLINES.
So I guess he's a "screwed up everything but the spelling" Nazi.

One button is all you need. Great idea.

We're not badly designed. We may just be doing things with our bodies that they weren't designed for.
Is it crazy to suggest that people shouldn't have kids if their plan is to immediately go on welfare, rather than support their own family?
And I'm glad that vegans aren't having babies.
No, it's not. Evolution is something that happens over multiple generations, because it's tied to DNA.
HELLO? WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY, SONNY? You listen to Smegmabreath? What an odd name for a band. NOW GET OFF MY LAWN
That's funny, because we said the same things about Obama in regards to being a community organizer, and we were all called racists for it.

The ingredients list included "aloe vera", idiot.
So you want to test every container of every product that is made for consumption, right?
It's hard to say it's unregulated.

The question would be, where did they get the idea to conjugate "to bring" as "brung"?
Why is it that I want to try that one first? Might be the "Plan 9" of interactive fiction.

A Republican President must have been elected.
