    I find it Interesting that you consider being called a liberal insulting. That was unexpected and not my intention but it certainly says a lot about how you feel about liberals.

    Have fun with that.

    To double down on what Rei said;

    The rest of science *may* only have 10% of the data, but I promise you're not smart enough to know the data is worthless either.

    So in the meantime the rest of the community that enjoys exploring new things, forming hypothesis, and experimenting will continue to bring us out of the stone age. As they have for centuries.

    Sure they have to make a dollar, and a lot of times they may nudge a decimal point to keep the lights on, but the modern technology we enjoy sure has hell justifies a lot for their discipline.

    Or use the gravitational forces of our sun to focus a beam or use as a reflector and with the Earth as a giant listening station.

    Hopefully without insta-frying the Earth.

    At this point the possibilities are as endless as our imagination. We won't know until we understand more. But I would suggest just skipping the fancy mathematical equations used to make the scientists look smarter and get the cable guy to start manipulating magnetic fields.

    Get 'er Done!

    If anything I have found most tech centers to be thoroughly disgustingly overwhelmingly liberal to the point where you question whether or not these people actually have brains. Don't you dare ask some of these nuts to fact check and follow the money train or they start the ad-hominem attacks and petition to have you fired from your job.

    I am 40+ to there's likely a LOT of 'Get off my Lawn' in there but please, lets get some balance going at least in the political / activist spectrum.

    It's HUGE actually,

    The very first practical application of understanding how gravity works would be ... Artificial Gravity'.

    Pretty important and a *really nice to have* for growing plants and keeping humans and possibly animals healthy in low-grav like the moon, space. Or defeating the forces of acceleration and deceleration etc. Anywhere a force must be exerted or defeated.

    Sure it's in an infant state of understanding right now, but the more we learn about how it works, the closer we come to making the above happen.

    But you don't need to take a class or anything to own a gun.

    You don't need a license to own a car either. To drive one yes. To conceal carry or open carry a firearm, you also need a licence.

    There are far fewer of those than there are psychotics, so you've already reduced the potential number of people who can kill lots of innocent people.

    Those people use Bombs which are already illegal everywhere. If you can't buy it, people will build it.

    Doesn't matter whether or not you can bump fire anything. You're only going to hit the person *in front of you* in a crowded room with both an Axe or a Gun. If you want a faster axe swing two of them.

    The point you may or may not have deliberately missed is it really doesn't matter what tool you turn into a weapon. Whether the tool involved is a Gun or an Axe if someone wishes you harm they will be, and have been, creative about it.

    All private sales in California must employ a licensed firearms dealer as middleman,

    They can suck it. And I can get one legally.

    Nobody does a background check or require a cooling period for buying a car or licensing as a doctor and those kill WAY more people per year than Guns can even get close to.

    Anti Gun retards need to stop cherry picking their statistics and focus on what's really killing people if there's going to be any real positive change.

    Nightclubs themselves don't identify with any sexuality at all considering the bulk of buildings in my experience have been fully asexual. Calling a nightclub, service station, or your local YMCA, 'Gay' just doesn't fit.

    I would be terribly uncomfortable coming across a gay building specifically if it were male, not knowing how it would manifest it's desires for me. Or worse, entering a female building without permission thereby perpetuating 'rape culture', or *cough* Interrupting two buildings 'getting it on'. Could get a bit messy.
