I think there’s some real confusion going on in this article and, then not shockingly, in the comments below. In Tibetan Buddhism, any sex that’s not straight up generic sex meant for creating a new life is considered misconduct. That’s for everyone, and it’s rooted in many things, not the least of which is the idea

Your analogy fails — the difference with “If the government outlawed the making of new Dodge Charger Hellcats because of some technicality that says no new sedan can have over 700 horsepower” — is that the 700 hp legal Hellcat is amazing and works great and is perfect legal today, and if grandfathered in by a later

The problem isn’t parking it’s how many assholes drove in to the city. Solution is simple; take the train or STFH!

No dude, crosstown is longer than uptown/downtown. Get out of your car and stop being a selfish [redacted] and you might know this.

Can’t we just bite the bullet and raise taxes, hire more guys, use better materials, and not run most of the cash spent into kickbacks for firms our elected officials have shares in? It seems like that might actually be the way to go? We’re going to have to do all but the last one (yeah, I know, it’d be nice but

Or maybe they're Instagramming their generators.

Yeah! Someone profiting from exploiting your likeness without your permission! Sue!

Jan Brewer’s intensely shitty beliefs and actions aside, it would suck to have your image used without permission in those ads. Can you imagine logging into Facebook and seeing an ad featuring your picture that basically says, “Don’t want to be like this poor, sad ugly person over here? Try our miracle cream!”

The US have that kind of problem too. You can barely hear what people are telling you over the noise of gunshots.

Is that why we Americans hate social democracies? “They make us look bad!”

A gun simply will not protect you if you’re caught off-guard, which is generally the only situation in which having a gun at the ready might protect you. When Gabby Giffords was shot, the shooter was tackled by an unarmed man, while a man even closer who had a sidearm instinctively ducked... as anyone would.

Also, he may experience depression. And having a gun in the house when depressed makes for an all too easy suicide.

Honestly, I think the problem isn’t so much gun ownership, but the motivation most people in the country have for purchasing weapons in the first place. When was the last time you heard a ‘gun enthusiast’ talk about hunting? Hell, at your average Cabella’s or Bass Pro, hunting rifles are displayed off to the side,

He would be better off with a good alarm system.

It wasn’t criticism. It’s just a factual counterpoint.

Gun nuts are so fucking scary, you guys. I live in a blue state and went to a gun law forum after Sandy Hook.

Do not give up on this fight. The NRA wants you to believe it is impossible. It is not.

As I said to my husband yesterday, it's time to get over our American bullshit bravado that insists we do everything best and look at the countries where gun violence isn't an issue and take a page from their books. We don't have to win at everything, guys. Shit. We're acting like that annoying person who digs their

Why getting a gun to protect yourself doesn't matter: you are not a tactical expert and are not at the ready round the clock. A correctional officer was killed at this home opening the door for what he thought was a pizza delivery. He previously advocated for getting guns for protection.

If someone gunning down 20 little kids didn’t change the gun laws nothing will. Sad but true.
