Ok bro.

What "dumb shit stat" are you referring to? The article I linked to was about a study of a whole host of outcomes, not of one cherry picked statistic.

Total myth. From the racist 1980s GOP minds that brought you "Just Say No" and DARE:

We have huge wilderness areas (representing more acres than all the national parks combined) all over the country that don't have roads or campgrounds, or anything else similar. Consequently very few people visit, and you probably don't hear much about them. A situation that I personally love.

I don't need anything fancy, just set it on that log next to a quarter or something and take a non-blurry photo straight on.

I'd prefer more useful photos. Size comparisons and straight-on shots, without the wonky perspective, DOF, or pretty backgrounds.

"Welfare" isn't just for homeless people or those with absolutely no assets though. Most programs are means tested, meaning that when you apply you fill out a bunch of forms documenting your income and assets. From that, they determine both whether your qualify at all, and if so, for how much assistance.

Even if their income is too low to have ever paid income taxes, virtually everyone in the US pays other taxes like sales tax. But you're right, a few homeless people may have avoided ever paying anytaxes.

Homeless people aren't some other species. They're tax paying citizens who have had things fall apart. Like this lady.

What are you talking about? This article and comments are pretty much identical to the Jezebel article and comments.

Basically every single American is on some sort of "subsidy".

Leaving aside the question of how dangerous it is, nicotine is still physically addictive. Doesn't matter whether it's burnt, chewed, or vaporized, you still get physically addicted, go through withdrawal when quitting.

The DOTA 2 model is pretty much only possible because of Steam.

You should read Reason's article on how all those racist Ron Paul newsletters came to be. It was part of an outreach effort towards conservatives by the libertarians that they called "outreach to rednecks." It's instructive because they understood why the conservatives/Republicans were "fiscally conservative," and…

Dems run every single ghetto because every single ghetto is Black, and Black people are Dems. But so are Jews and Asians, and they and their enclaves are some of the best educated and wealthiest in the nation.

You should stop and re-read what you just wrote.

The Republicans ran Detroit from the 1920s to the early 1960s, ie., roughly the time period during which these photos were taken. The Dems didn't take over until Detroit fell apart, all the white people left, and the largely Black population that was left behind in Detroit voted the Dems in.

Not the carnival?

The particle accelerator caused the lightning storm.
