There’s nothing inflammatory about saying “some people did something”, you disingenuous twat. It’s the opposite of inflammatory. It’s clinical and so bereft of context as to be almost meaningless. One has to become enraged not at what she said, but what she DIDN’T say.

You know what I want, Aunt Becky? I want to be able to send my kids to college without going $100,000-plus into debt. I’d like to send them to their first-choice colleges — they both were accepted — but guess what we face? A horrible higher-education financing system that too often places ridiculous burdens on

What are the tangible negatives? Other than having to install a second service...so minor.

Game developers getting 18% more of your money is a huge benefit to the customer: The game developer can invest more in the games you love, and has less incentive to depend on trashy DLC models.

What i said was that taking away people’s civil rights to try to force them to solve one problem whilst ignoring other more serious ones is illogical and wrong-headed. I also said that taking away people’s rights to leave their homes and use public spaces was not even allowed in the heat of the AIDS crisis

But we have taken away the civil liberties of everyone with children in the case of car seats- one of your examples. People are FORCED to have a car seat to take their child from the hospital after birth, they are fined and can have their license taken away potentially if they are caught without their child in a car

You are the one inserting your emotions and moral beliefs into what should be a cut and dried matter of obvious public health here, dipshit. People here are telling you how and why this is serious, you just aren’t listening (and yes, I agree with their well reasoned arguments). The more you dig your heels in, the less

I’m all up for debate but your car seat argument is flawed.

Not very easy, if, for example, you wear a mask and gloves. And measles is way less dangerous than AIDS was at the time.

I and all my 3 siblings are ALL over 50 years of age. ***NONE OF US EVER HAD THE MEASLES***. Why? We were VACCINATED against it as little kids. When I and my younger brother were born (1965 and ‘66) the vaccine had already been available for 2 years. When my two older siblings were born, it was 1-2 years away.

I’ll be more succinct than the other people already dragging you.
You’re a fucking idiot.

Unless an unbelted child is thrown from a crashing car and hits another child, the consequences for not using a car seat are usually fairly specific to the family responsible.  Going to school with measles will infect anyone not able to be vaccinated, though, which is the equivalent of crashing the car into a

No, no. Mock the farmers. Mock the everloving shit out of them.

I don’t really follow celebrities. Is Kanye West not a tube station?

How sad is it that my reaction to this was “Yeah, that sounds about right for United Healthcare.” It is like pulling teeth to get them to pay for anything. I had to get several MRIs a few years ago and I had to get put in the hospital for a week just to get a 20-minute test.

Except that it would be very bad PR for them to publicly say go ahead, have a major studio do just that, then punish them for it. 

They made the move because Valve’s cut ate too much money that would otherwise go to the devs.

They’re fighting back against a shitty move.


A few things with that.

- Maybe this would be a better example of what you’re suggesting if it didn’t come with a $10 discount?
