  1. Re:Standing in the corner found effective. on Texas GOP Educational Platform Opposes Teaching Critical Thinking Skills · · Score: -1

    Our crime rate is high because real punishment has been replaced with a time out system that only turns petty criminals into hardened criminals and ends up harming the rest of society in the name of protecting the so called civil rights of people who have absolutely no problem taking away the lives and property of the honest people out there.

    If we flogged petty criminals and hanged the hardened criminals instead of sending them up the river to live with their own kind and become better criminals at the tax payer's expense we wouldn't have this problem.

    No they don't. Compare the crime rate in Singapore, where they still use corporal punishment, to the crime rate here in the US where timeouts are pretty much all the courts have to offer.

  3. Re:stopped using it? on Why Microsoft Killed the Windows Start Button · · Score: 0

    I support a couple hundred staff (small tech school), and by far the most common trouble call after deploying a new computer is "this computer doesn't have Outlook". The correct translation for this, in our case, is "Outlook isn't on my desktop, so it must not be installed".

    Being that computer illiterate should be grounds for immediate termination. There are plenty of other people out there who are unemployed or underemployed who actually can use a computer without needing you to paste everything to their desktop.

    Life isn't fair. Get over it. You don't have the right to force others to cater to whatever lifestyle or limitation you may have just because it makes things convenient for you.

    Don't like not being catered to? Tough shit. I don't like getting up at 4am so I can go to work and earn a pay cheque, but you don't see me crying to the government and demanding that businesses give things to me for free.

    This is why we need to switch to a civil law system, stop relying on invalid precedent, and have all current and former justices hanged as enemies of the Constitution.

    We're not in agreement because as I said before, that isn't what they meant by regulated and the amendment doesn't apply only to people in a formal militia. It's an individual right, just as the 1st Amendment is. The constitution does not allow for any infringement on your right to keep and bear arms.

    Allowing them to infringe on your 2nd Amendment rights in any way is as unacceptable as letting them infringe your 1st Amendment rights by creating "free speech zones".

    And that's where the well regulated part comes in. You can't just expect the population to own guns and defend themselves and their state without learning to shoot and practicing often.

    In the context of the Second Amendment, a well regulated militia means a militia that is well trained and organized so that it can adequately respond to a threat. It does not mean regulating weapons, and the phrase well regulated has nothing to do with the fact that the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

    DC vs Heller pretty much put an end to that bullshit regardless when it reestablished that the 2nd Amendment was an individual right and not a collective right.

    The First Amendment doesn't include the text "shall not be infringed." The Second Amendment does.
