. The truth is most of these deaths are black on black murders done with illegal guns..
The truth is most of the deaths are gang murders. Black gangs, Hispanic/Latino gangs, and yes White gangs/motorcylce clubs etc.
Its gang activity. Whether it's Jesse James and his gangs back in the day, or Al Capone and his ilk, or the bloods and crips and latin kings today its mostly gang activity. Trying to cast this on one race of people when its obvious that this is not the case is...well.. short sighted to say the least.
The problem is not the guns its the culture. plain and simple.
The right to bear arms does not limit one to just one type of arm. It didn't say the right to bear rifles or pistols it says arms including artillery and canons and tanks. those are arms.
How about letting the marketplace decide? Just label the foods and let the market decide. Right now the market cannot decide because the market cannot differenciate between GMO and non-GMO
When you focus all your efforts only on Washington it gets lobbied against by Monsanto. Monsanto owns washington. Just look at the recent patent reform bill that was going to outlaw software-patents for example. MS, Apple, IBM, EMC, and Oracle lobbied hard against getting rid of software patents and so where are we now? Still stuck with software-patents. Likewise with lifeform patents. If I can avoid products where agressive litigious companies patent dominant species and go around suing then I will do just that and encourage everyone to do the same.
My problem with GMOs is the patents and the patent abuse. SOrry will not support GMO until the companies such as Monsanto stop abusing patents. Also i have a problem with the superweeds that are now cropping up as a result of drenching crops with roundup. Also when patented seed contaminates non GMO crops the non-GMO farmer has to pay Monsanto for a license or get sued out of business. Its the practices of the companies that turn me against it and until they stop i will avoid and tell everyone to avoid these patent encumbered crops. NO one company should be allowed to own all corn or all soybean because their patented crap has displaced natural crops.
For me its a result of Monsanto patenting food staples and suing world + dog. I don't agree with a few multinationals owning patents of the world's food staples so I will do everything I can to avoid GMO products for this reason and this reason only. And I will continue to warn everyone I know against purchasing GMO products until they are no longer patented and the companies stop abusing the patents. THe End.
Yes but patenting lifeforms then suing zealously over those patented lifeforms that contaminate non-gmo farms is bad so say no to GMO until they quit patenting life.
Stop trolling pro troll. I know that you know that had Google joined with Microsoft to purchase the patents under the conditions Microsoft had layed out it would not have stopped Microsoft from attacking Google's partners HTC, Samsung, Motorola at the time and others using Android with these same patents. And slinging around the talking points of Microsoft does nothing for your credibility on this matter.
THIS!!! exactly this. Sony used to be a pro-technology company until they got into the content business and now have become one of the biggest assholes. I went from owning exlusively Sony products to running far far away from anything Sony because of their behavior once they got into the content business. Will not purchase or reccomend Sony products until they leave that business. They are one of the MPAA and RIAA biggest members.
B&N did not settle. They countersued and exposed the patetents Microsoft were threatening them with. Then Microsoft payed B&N millions of dollars to go away.
And IIRC EMC along with Microsoft and IBM lobbied to shoot down software-patent reform bill in congress recently. Won't be purchasing anymore products from this group.
First of all I'm not "Left WIng" Im as pro second ammendment as they come. SO you have no clue who I am. Your Limbaugh/Culter bubble does not allow you to see rationally. You only see in black and white. Liberal and Conservatives. Stuck in the talk radio Matrix without any clue of reality. I never claimed to be better than anyone.
Because people are not paranoid like you doesn't mean they are "ultra-left wing" LOL
Also I do agree with you in your previous post about the overreactions of the zero-tolerance-lets-not-think croud. Many examples of that such as the kid who shows up to school with plastic knives in the back of his moms car. She purchased the knives and forgot them in the car. THe kid drives car to school. Expelled. And yes that is moronic.
There actually is valid reason to assess people's mental capacity and mental state though. A lot of the centrists and right wingers are agreeing that maybe it would make sense to keep crazy people from acquiring weapons.
The problem is though, as you hint, that left wingers are going to define "crazy". Already we see children being taken into custody for the act of play acting in schools.
Bite a pop-tart into the shape of a gun, and school officials call in the cops. Imagine that. Point a finger and say "POW", and you're marked for life as a crazy person prone to violence.
I suppose that some liberal will read your post, and mine, and be begging for the opportunity to drag us onto an analyst's couch.
its amazing to see someone living in the Hannity/Limbaugh/Fox/Culter bubble on Slashdot. Hey did you know that Evolution is real and the world is not 6000 years old?
What made McCarthyism bad not the hunt for subversives per se, it was tossing out the constitution in the hunt for subversives.
Gee, now why does that sound so familiar?
It's deja vu all over again.
Those who fail to learn from history...
Strat
It sounds familiar because your hero Michelle Bachman was recently calling for an investigation of people in congress who are not "American enough" So yeah... Deja Vu.
so the perp hears the thunk on their car as the leave and once they are out of sight they simply stop the car and carjack someone with a different car to get away. putting them at risk.
MOD this up! Couldnt have said it better. MS forcing HTC to pay upwards of $5 per device sold over sofware patents in Linux else see them in court is partially what got HTC in the situation they are in now. Now why would HTC play ball unless MS offers to pay them all the money lost from that Linux License and stop charging them that extortion fee.
Please also remember the Microsoft is actively running an Linux and Android software patent scheme which i'm sure device manufacturers are not amused by. So why should they help MS when MS is threatening to sue them over open source code? Why? And no MS in the marketplace is never good. not even if they are the underdog. MS has proven time and time again that they are sleeze. From usurping standards to running software patent extortion schemes. They do not play fairly in any market and never let their products stand on their own merit ever. Its always some form of coersion to get their products to dominate the marketplace from pressuring retailers, to pressuring manufacturers to block alternative OS on their hardware to enforcing that on arm devices etc.
Microsoft threatened HTC into paying for a "Linux License" back when HTC started producing Android phones. I think they pay upwards of $5 to Microsoft per Android phone. Now MS is crawling to HTC to "Please load our OS on your devices" I would say that MS actions in the marketplace has put a bad taste in the mouth of hardware vendors so they figure if they are already paying MS for Android then why help them by loading Windows? Chickens coming home to roost for Microsoft it seems.
The harm of obamacare? Are you that brainwashed by Ted Craze already? Can you point to some instances from non-partisan sources that demonstrate that it is harming anyone? Can you demonstrate that if it's harming anyone that its causing more harm than good? Thanks ill be waiting.

THey could just not bother at all. is there anyone else offering bug bounties on software they didn't even write to begin with? Anyone?
Or Texas for that matter.
yeah and add Texas to the list.

in the US influenza has a higher approval rating than congress right now.
Sorry Daily Caller is an "opposition" propoganda news source and therefore is hardly credible.
