CO2 is clean? Please tell me you're joking. CO2 in the atmosphere makes the planet warmer. That's not an opinion, it's a well-established scientific fact. Don't believe me? Put two bottles of water in the sun, with thermometers in both. Drop an Alka-Seltzer into one of them. That one will get hotter than the other.
CO2 may not be "clean" but its not as bad as the boogie men are making it out be. the fact is CO2 is a vital part of the circle of life.
I'll pay more for food that has stricter controls on quality. You're taking the argument to an irrational extreme; "Safe Food" is unattainable. What we can do is make it safer through reasonable regulation and testing. Which is where we are now.
Ok, good for you, and when poor people cant buy food because it has to pass 100 regulations before it hits the shelf what about them? How about we continue the "choice" thing, as long as items are properly marked whats the issue? Or as for your last point on there, at what point is it "safe enough" people have made it thousands of years without the government telling people what they can and cant eat.
Then they should fix them. The specs are freely available and attainable by any competent company. What you're bitching about is companies cutting corners and getting called on it. Anyone with a working tape measure can determine if something is 3 feet tall; someone who builds that stuff for a living has no excuse for that.
Next you are going to tell us that every building with a drive up ATM should have braile on it as well for all those blind drivers out there because.. the law! A little common sense goes along way, regulations leave little room for common sense. If the ramp is 1 degree off, is it stopping people from using it? If no WHO THE FUCK CARES???
stuck with TW now, and I can say ive had them out a number of times and never once was i charged. In fact i usually got 6 months of free showtime out of it
pretty much. Break into my home, get shot in the face. its as simple as that. If more people held that attitude, We would have way less home invasions.
you realize the christians have not been killing non believers for hundreds of years now? theres only one religion out there that still kills non believers. If you are going to make an argument, at least make it reality based
cant talk for him but my objection is giving a school a DB of all kids finger prints. Im SO SURE that it would NEVER be accessed by law enforcement for fishing expeditions....
I was in HS from 99 to 03. We had ID cards, but we didnt need them for anything. I didnt think anything of it
Jr year (2002-2002) the security guards started not allowing students in without showing ID. Now, the security guard knew damn near every kid in school (we had a full HS of under 500 people) but no student was allowed in without the id.
Tell me, what good reason is there for that other than getting the students more used to submitting to authority? If the security guard didnt know the student fine, but if he did he STILL had to check every single ID.
I disagree. Especially on the superiority front. If you wanna talk about politics (why I dont know no one brought it up but ill bite) the ones who feel superior are the elitists, AKA the liberals who feel they know everything and are better than everyone.
back to topic, I see WAY more stories on athiests bitching about the things I listed above than I see anything from the tea party trying to convince others they are wrong
its not about ease, its about getting kids used to submitting to authority. Oh you want that food? sorry you cant have it unless you jump through our hoops.
no one cares about it being an option. The problem is that places like NJ dont want it to be AN option, they want it to be THE ONLY option when it becomes available.
By all means, buy this gun if you want it. if it makes you happy great! But dont tell me that I also have to buy your gun and only your gun (or gun with your technology in it)
I for one have no problem stopping criminals with guns when needed also 2.5 million crimes stopped with guns, it doesnt say they were used 2.5 million times or they killed 2.5 million people. If you are going to call someone an idiot at least have a valid point
fair enough, but why take the chance? If you want to play "could have" instead I take say something along the lines of " If they didnt have a gun, the criminal (who already broke in) could have tied up the father while he raped the 4 year old in front of it" I suppose I could also say "he could have baked cookies for the family whos house he broke into" Regardless, dont break into homes and you wont have to worry about getting shot
you are aware that "well regulated" at the time written simply meant "working weapons" right? I mean all you have to do is think about it logically and you would understand it does not mean regulated as we use the word today.
the second amendment was written as a way to protect us FROM the federal government. As such, why would we need to be regulated by the same people the amendment is supposed to give us the option of protecting ourselves from said federal government?? Its simply not logical on top of the fact that it doesnt mean what you think it means.
most of this problem is the NRA. the NRA targeted the first safe-gun and wiped it from stores everywhere. they spun uncited rhetoric about the unreliabiltiy or the technology and pounded the communism/fascism fear, uncertainty, and doubt into the public that a biometric or safer firearm was simply another cobblestone in the road to hitler/stalin/mao.
No we can blame places likeNJ who have laws on the books that bans all existing weapons as soon as one of these smart guns becomes mainstream. If it were not for laws like that, the NRA would not have to go out of their way to point out the flaws. Im no fan of the NRA as a whole, pulled my membership years ago, but the problem is with the government, not the NRA
is it that high? I know for a fact its higher than accidental gun deaths, but ive never found an accurate number of guns used for defense because they tend not to report when its done right. kinda like how we only ever hear about bad cops when the vast majority do their jobs well daily
how long did it take to bypass the iphone fingerprint lock? a couple days?? no, I dont want any electronic locks on someone as important as a gun Flick the safety off and shoot, thats it
just because you dont hear about all the guns that save lives, doesnt mean it doesnt happen. for every accidental gun death out there, there are numerous stories of people saving their lives with guns. Just the other day a father and his 4 year old were at home in bed and someone broke in, If the father was unarmed he and his 4 year old would be dead. Instead we have 1 more dead criminal. No one should be upset with dead criminals
really? to me it seems more that the athiests are trying to prove something to the others on how superior they are. Now im an atheist in the i dont believe in god and thats it. I dont go around bitching about nativity scenes, I understand that they make a large number of people happy so be it! I dont care about the 10 commandments at the courthouse because lets be honest, religious or not they are good rules to live by and the basis of our legal system. I dont care about "under god" in the pledge, I simple dont say it ( i stand politely while the pledge is happening).
Yet there is a large number of atheists who claim not to believe in god, but spend their every waking moment trying to get god out of the picture. If they dont believe in him, why do they care if others do?
there are a good number of atheists out there like me who live and let live, but there is a large movement of "religious atheists" I think these people tended to be religious as children and feel they need to prove something.

FUNDED by the government, Created at a university
why is being self sufficient considered nutty?
i know right? because we never had those things prior to big government before....
stuck with TW now, and I can say ive had them out a number of times and never once was i charged. In fact i usually got 6 months of free showtime out of it
always. if you dont have it when you need it, you are screwed
pretty much. Break into my home, get shot in the face. its as simple as that. If more people held that attitude, We would have way less home invasions.
fucking complacent britfag sheep
Thats what we are doing now right??
perhaps "large" was the wrong word. Vocal and actually brings BS to court over nothing would be more proper
you realize the christians have not been killing non believers for hundreds of years now? theres only one religion out there that still kills non believers. If you are going to make an argument, at least make it reality based

you are proving my point for me AC

We should have the morality to stand on our own, not rely on the authority of others.
I dont think you are aware of the irony of your statement
I disagree. Especially on the superiority front. If you wanna talk about politics (why I dont know no one brought it up but ill bite) the ones who feel superior are the elitists, AKA the liberals who feel they know everything and are better than everyone.

technically, the people ARE the militia, therefore no need to distinguish between the 2
I for one have no problem stopping criminals with guns when needed also 2.5 million crimes stopped with guns, it doesnt say they were used 2.5 million times or they killed 2.5 million people. If you are going to call someone an idiot at least have a valid point

to a well regulated militia.
Ahh yes the ol "regulated" argument
