  1. Re:Ban guns on Congresswoman and Staff Gunned Down · · Score: 1

    If you believe home invasion is unlikely, try substituting the synonym armed burglary, which the armed forces (US or Brit) do not respond to.

    "It's the first killing weapon where you don't have to be within physical contact of your victim to kill them, and it's accurate."

    Bow and arrow, spear, thrown dagger, rock.

    "If someone would like you dead and they don't have a gun then the obstacles are nearly always insurmountable and the feeling passes."

    Number one murder weapon - knife. You might wanna revamp your arguments.

    It is *not* a personal hygiene problem. Your skin secretes oils continually. You'd have to wash every half hour or hour.

    Wow. You do not understand the word crime. Look it up.

    How in hell would the copier be 'held accountable' if no crime is committed? Goody two-shoes feelings? No, that's why he ripped off the authors in the first place, no goody feelings. He must be forced.

    It should go on his record? Yep, he did the crime. Jail time? Note to you: all crimes do not result in jail time.

  5. Re:Their choice on Amazon Censorship Expands · · Score: 1

    No. Amazon does not have power and responsibility over a specific subject. They just sell stuff. The person flagging an item is a worker, not some 'official'. If the did have the P&R, then they could prevent Barnes & Noble from selling the same book.

    "Corporate overlords" Jeez, get out of the social studies programs and live some real life.

    Uh, no. We are not at all certain what caused the event. Guesses include large or multiple meteor impacts, increased volcanism, or sudden release of methane hydrates from the sea floor. Your last sentence belies the reason you excluded two of the three.

    ('loss' of 'right' to distribute their own works does not mean something was taken from them, because that's exactly the 'right' that I think shouldn't exist),

    Elevating yourself to the position of god doesn't validate your beliefs.

    Perhaps you might explain better why you believe an artist should not have the right to distribute their own works.

    "No, the inequality of wealth has a reasonable effect on the level of social cohesion within a country."

    So does the basement level for poverty.
    Raise either sufficiently and you can raise cohesion. Another name for that cohesion is placidity or contentment. It's not mandatory that every one own the same amount for (most) everyone to be content.

    Switzerland is roughly equivalent to New York state. Some states don't find it all that hard to modify and repeal their laws.
