Good for your mom, but virtually no one is saying “force all teachers to carry a gun at all times”. What is being said though, is allow teachers who are comfortable doing so, to exercise the same rights they’d have almost every other place they’d go in their daily life. People hear arming teachers and think that means…

See now, you say that’s obvious, but there’s just as much evidence that increasing the number of legally owned guns and the ability to carry them over the past 20 years has decreased crime in many places. The places with the worst gun crime also tend to have the strictest gun laws. So... maybe it’s not about…

...are not reporters but are somehow employed in “media,” full time.

Because after a certain point, it makes more sense to have a singular, unified command rather than have each branch have competing interests. Not having all of our space-focused military resources under one command just leaves more room for waste and duplicated efforts. As I said, the basic idea is sound, and under…

I know you’re being sarcastic, and while Space Force in and of itself is a dumb idea sure to be a military spending boondoggle, having a dedicated command that focuses on the militarization of space is probably a good idea given that all the countries that we would be likely to be engaged in a conflict with are…

I ordered some Amazon brand oil last time I changed mine because it was the cheapest option. I didn’t need it that day and was ordering the filter anyway, so it made the most sense. I’m not one of those guys who’s got huge motor oil brand loyalty, as long as it’s the right kind for my car, it’s getting dumped in. I’ll…

Expanding background checks will do nothing when in our current system people routinely fall through the cracks (the Texas church shooter who should’ve been disqualified but the Air Force never reported him), straw purchases will always be a thing (which are already illegal), as will flat out illegal private sales of…

At this point it’s fair to say unions make labor look like a domestic violence victim.

The best solution I can see is to agitate for the kinds of protections unions used to offer, be it by demanding it of your representatives or via ballot initiative. The time of unions has long passed, and they often do as much harm to society and the workers they’re supposed to represent as they supposedly do those…

I mean, what was the most expensive Chrysler product back in the 90's? A Viper? These guys were trying to have a good time, not wrap themselves around a telephone pole.

It’s also a sad commentary on the jumbled up mess that is various industries that have nothing to do with each other being represented under one blanket union organization. I’m looking at you, AFL-CIO, SEIU, and UFCW. In a world where relationships between workers unions made sense, nobody would question whether a…

If that’s what you think it’s all about, it’s eminently clear that you’ve never even attempted to hunt, or you’d know that “killing something to supplement your manhood” doesn’t even factor into it. Also it completely discounts women hunters, but I guess people of all stripes have sexist views.

So what you’re saying is you’re incredibly entitled and don’t want any connection to the food that goes on your table, or to think about what had to happen for it to get there. Got it.

I’d also rather that not have to be the case, but I feel that at this point, beggars cannot be choosers either. I’ll take a W where and however we can get one.

I heard about that one but I’m not quite familiar with the details, I just heard it was bad.

I was able to go to the MC50 show in Detroit a couple months ago and man can Wayne Kramer still play. What’s very interesting is the kind of punk The MC5 and Wayne specifically were into wasn’t as much about being anarchist as it was about being radically patriotic. About loving your country so much that you’re…

Hey, if Hannibal Burress could bring down Bill Cosby with a comedy set, there’s hope yet.

Yeah, because fuck any kind of self-sufficiency, right?! Never mind that without hunting, deer populations in Michigan would fucking explode because we killed off all the natural predators over 100 years ago. Just because you don’t like to think about what had to happen for the meat to get to your table doesn’t mean…

So limit the permits in those areas to bow only. Problem solved. An arrow isn’t traveling far in thick woods anyway, so if any poncho-wearing hippies wander off the quad into the woods, they’ve likely scared all the deer away anyway.

Not to mention, a bullet/shotgun shell/arrow is way cheaper than capturing a deer, anesthetizing it, sterilizing it, and releasing it back into the wild. Only a hippie dippie place like Ann Arbor would come up with such an idea over simply selling deer tags for dirt cheap to attract hunters to come and harvest them.
