Maybe you've seen this Paul Weyrich clip, very pertinent to the subject at hand (Reagan/1980's/suppressing the minority vote).

Thanks for the information, it makes sense that that would have been the law in the past. I would not promote capital punishment as a sentence for rape. I would be fine with long sentences of hard labor (preferably on infrastructure projects) handed out for all violent crimes including rape, as well as "white collar"…

Personally speaking, I believe that sentences for "white collar" crimes such as fraud should be more severe. I mentioned in a different thread that rape (a violent crime), should be treated more severely than marijuana use & personal cultivation in our society. It is currently not (on a federal level and 48 out of the…

Thanks for the information. It's good to know that things have temporarily reversed course. I hope those TRAP laws are scraped and accessibility is prioritized. Sometimes I think about the fact that I'm only willing to live in maybe 4 out of the 50 states, for political reasons, and wish that was not the case.

Does anyone know what happened to the Virginia "forced vaginal ultrasound" bill?

Like I stated before, I understand your point about the low-hanging fruit (in that it is easier to bust someone for marijuana than rape).

I understand your point about the "low-hanging fruit".

Your post made me smile. "Go back to Wichita, hipsters!"

The fact that people in authority tend to view rape less seriously than the crime of marijuana possession, for example, says a lot about our society.

Ok i'll bite. I don't dispute anything you wrote. I don't know how many people witnessed the murder.

"we're driving to your parents house just for a visit and your sleeping in your brother's bed. won't you sneak into my room and crawl under the covers, start nonsense in your sleep"

Good for him. Most people these days wouldn't lift a finger to help someone in distress. Kitty Genovese, anyone? The bystander effect and diffusion of responsibility are a thing. Whenever these sorts of situations come to the media light, I ask my "philosophically Anarchist" self, would I put myself at risk of…

Sadface indeed.

"You guys have real coke here?"

Anarchist here. I advocate the disolution of the current state and the creation of a web of inter-connected federations, based on the principles of Voluntary Free-Association and Direct Democracy. Picard out.

If that is you in the gif Laura, then I think you are bad (Not bad as in awful but Urban Dictionary's definition). Not that your fishing for compliments, just my unsolicited opinion.

Who cares. Ass > greenbacks. Use hemp as a substitute instead, if it was good enough for our founding documents, it's good enough for our bank notes. End rant.

I'm super terrified of babies and my gf wants to have one with me at some point. My natural inclination during sex is to "pull in"...so I've decided we're no longer having sex for the foreseeable future.

I have no idea who this woman is. I admit my knowledge of feminism is limited. I dislike patriarchy because I dislike hierarchy in general. Regardless, I believe in equality of the sexes and genders. Call me a "fellow traveler" or a feminist, idk.

Always remember to eject from the cockpit. You don't want to go out like Jek Porkins. R.I.P.
