Yet another logic fail: by it's very nature, free speech is not private. No one is disputing your constitutional right to own a gun, we're just trying to track the irresponsible gun owners so we know how to avoid them. Ironically, trying to shut that down WOULD be an infringement on free speech! Similarly, the app

I already pointed out the similarity of the app you're defending to the online web sites that published the names and addresses of abortion doctors. What makes you think the gun nut community is going to react any more peacefully to people who are trying to regulate their lethal hobby?

Not sure why you're having so much trouble understanding this. Many gun owners are normal people, but many of them are paranoid, trigger-happy gun nuts. Any person can go nuts and attack me at any time for any reason (just look at your local police blotter) but gun owners are not only far more dangerous when they do

So you're terrified that burglars are going to break into your house and steal all your guns? Given that the guns are a.) supposed to be stored under lock and key and b.) quite possibly in the hands of a trigger-happy gun owner, what on earth makes you think this is a risk burglars are eager to take? Using the same

I never assumed you had children, I'm just using the idea of a playdate as an example of why knowing which households may have unsecured guns would be useful to know. That's the purpose of the app and that's what I'd likely use it for. I'd also probably use it to check whether anyone near a prospective house I'm

You’re still hung up on the privacy shibboleth which is not the point. The point is that one app is designed to target for execution people you disagree with, and the other app is designed to let people know where danger exists. We have sex offender maps for the exact same reason and I don’t hear you whining about

Really? How often do people without guns shoot other people? Never? Yeah, that would be because they DON’T OWN GUNS IN THE FIRST PLACE. It’s actually quite sane for me to assume that I’m more likely to be shot by someone who owns guns and not at all hysterical. If someone wants to hurt me without a gun, I have

Yeah, you let me know when someone is shot with an opinion. The point you are desperately avoiding is that the worst consequence of labeling the locations of purportedly unsafe guns is an LEO coming by to make sure they’re stored properly. The worst consequence of labeling the locations of people who speak out against

I don’t care if it’s completely accurate, it factors into my decision to let my daughter play with kids in the same location as potentially unsafe weapons. And to answer your other question, that app is also something that WOULD trigger an ask as to whether or not the owner had guns lying around. Without some sort of

It's tempting to just quote Dan Savage and point out that oral should be standard on all models, but this goes a bit beyond that. No one is obligated to do anything they don't want to, and at that baseline point she's perfectly fine. Having a toyboy she uses purely to provide unreciprocated cunnilingus is also ok as

Frankly, I'm glad to know about the app that tracks unsafe guns geographically. I don't want my daughter going to a house for a playdate if it's likely that there are unsafe guns in that house. Bitch about privacy and constitutional rights all you want, I'm not going to take the risk of my only daughter becoming a

That's the one thing that's kept me from mortgaging my house in order to buy one....

My brother and I learned how to do basic chores early on when my mother simply told us to. We were doing our own cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. from about 10 or 12 on. We were both amazed when we got to college and found that everyone around us couldn't figure out how to separate whites from colors or wipe down a

Dude, reg flags all over the place here. If your bride trusts you so little that being out of her sight for 20mins automatically equals cheating, your marriage is doomed. You should have called it off and run like mad...

No freaking idea. My normally crazy mom was actually really good at my first wedding, but my fiancee's (normally sane) mom had a few moments of batshit WTF-ery. Perfect example: my fiancee was the valedictorian of her very upscale New England private high school so we were able to use the lovely non-denominational

I'll admit there's a discrepancy, but the issue goes beyond gender. The number of times I've had to bring my daughter back to my wife in order to tell her there's no changing space in the men's is minuscule - when she's able to successfully find one in the ladies! 99% of the time she comes back 2min later to report

I have never, ever encountered a public restroom floor anywhere even close to being clean enough to consider changing my daughter on. Yes, I've got the roll-up changing pad which is fantastic, but I will take my daughter out to the car and do the trunk/hatchback change rather than put her on the floor. Sure, she might

If you don't mind used, take a look at the Mazda5.

That's why I bought a Mazda5 when I was looking for a mini-minivan.

Nope - I'm 6'2" and I am perfectly comfortable in my 2012 Mazda5. I've taken 12+ hour trips in it with no issues and I've even ridden comfortably in the third row for hours at a time. It also cost me about $8000 less than the Transit reviewed above. Combine that with Japanese quality and contrast with Ford's poor
