Steps the person could have taken to avoid getting shot. Not gotten behind the wheel so intoxicated he passed out in drive for an extended period of time and was unresponsive to loud noises such as honks. Not illegally kept a loaded gun on his lap while driving intoxicated. (The gun DID have a clip(magazine), it was…

I had the same thought. He has nearly 8 million subscribers, and was sponsored to make the shield, and the headline suggests some random guy threw one together. Though the entire article seems kinda half-assed, so...

Calling Notch a Nazi is anti-semitic, as it trivializes the horrors perpetrated by actual Nazis. You know, actually murdering millions, not just tweeting something you don’t like.  But feel free to continue calling everyone a Nazi.

More accurate to say “Don’t report on this because the developer might be more motivated to fix it”

Not gambling, as there is a 100% chance you will lose your money and get a virtual item in return. Most people call that shopping.

Before he murdered 5 people, he was previously convicted of beating his girlfriend with a baseball bat and stabbing her with a knife. But sure, he is the real victim here. If only HR hadn’t made him hurt people just like his girlfriend did before, then everything would be okay.

How many rap artists have a criminal record and songs that promote or allude to violence? Should the FBI be arresting them? Unless there is a specific threat, law enforcement cannot do anything. Being misogynistic isn’t a crime, nor is writing bad songs.  Which also applies to rappers as well as this guy.

He was in the drive-through with the engine running and in drive, not in a parking spot.  The latter would make this a very different situation.  

History has proven it time and time again, making vices illegal only serves to strengthen the criminal element around it.

Yes, I went to the very same site. Try again.

Not true, I looked it up before posting. https://berniesanders.com/issues/medicare-for-all/

No, I literally am not. Bernie’s single payer is based on the rich paying for it. My proposal was people pay for their own insurance, with the government giving loans for continuity during unemployment. The payment for said insurance would be taken directly out of people’s paychecks.

I just Googled it. There are studies both for and against spanking.

You cannot compare a wife and child. Would you tell your wife she is not allowed to do something? Would you ground her? Would you take away her phone if she misbehaved? Would you put your wife in time-out? Would you deny her desert if she refuses to eat her vegetables?  I would hope not. Yet all those are used with…

I like this article/comments. The next time someone says the country should put more emphasis on public transportation rather than privately owned cars or uber-like services, I am going to link here.

The line is where the community is affected and not just the individual. A fire can burn down an entire city if not addressed, which is why it needs to be part of the community service and cannot rely on an individual’s desire/ability to hire the service. Individual health care, not so much. Outside of pandemics,…

The only country close in size (with HSR) is China. 

Fire fighting is not a socialist service, it is a basic part of society or any community really. The same with the military. They are both directly related to the community as a whole. Essentially infrastructure. Infrastructure is not socialist.

No, democratic government is NOT inherently socialist. The government is there to give everyone a voice, and help guarantee the rights of the people. Socialism is about guaranteeing outcomes for the people.

“Capitalism is the path to totalitarianism.” Incorrect.
