Cults have always been like that though. If these people are of the age of majority and there is no proof that they are being held against their will, there is not much that the law can do other than keep an eye on the situation and be on the lookout for criminal behavior.

Those seats do not look like they are capable of seating two ordinary-sized human being. My shoulders alone look like they would take up about 2/3rds of the space.

I think the term statutory rapist is more appropriate. To the best of my knowledge (and I admit I have no interest in R. Kelly or his music, so maybe I missed something), he has never been accused of messing around with prepubescent children. Pedophilia is a very disturbing and very specific mental illness.

If you are in the path of totality, you can look at the sun during the phase of total eclipse, but the moments right before that phase and right afterwards are the most dangerous, so be sure to get an accurate chronometer, know exactly when the phase of totality starts, and be generous with the time to avoid looking…

Microsoft operating systems fully supports USB C and Thunderbolt 3. Microsoft is not nearly as big of a hardware manufacturer as companies like Apple, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Asus, Dell, et cetera.

The National Guard and Coast Guard along with the various branches of the Reserve are probably strong enough to handle any sort of serious aggression against our homeland in the post-Soviet era.

Working retail IT support in college was an interesting experience, because you are in a position of power/knowledge over a lot of your clients, but many of them still feel entitled to act like jerks toward you or your co-workers. The worst ones are entitled, stupid, and convinced that they are right. I imagine that…

There really is not any compelling scientific evidence that USDA certified organic food is going to be safer for you.

It’s not just the GOP; there are inherent flaws in the ACA. The GOP stands in the way of fixing the flaws.

It is unfortunate, but it is very unlikely that it reaches the legal definition of negligent homicide in terms of criminal law. Self defense, including against domestic animals, is a complete defense. Convicting someone of a crime when they claim self-defense requires proving beyond all reasonable doubt that either…

I think one of the biggest barriers to VR being popular is cost and adoption. Without content, nobody can justify the cost and without widespread adoption, it is hard to develop killer-app functionality.

I never close the bathroom door when taking a dump. If guests complain, I just tell them, “it’s my house!”

Overheating in electric motors damages the windings.

You understand that Trump voters and Republican voters are not the same set, right? There is a lot of overlap, but we tended to see a lot of better-educated, wealthier, more metropolitan urban areas where Trump had a very poor showing even though the voters were highly Republican-leaning.

Here is the way I look at it. The Republican candidate last year won the election by a 23% margin. Those are the types of margins you expect for a Democrat running for Statewide office in California. The margin of this vote is probably well under 5%, which made it a very competitive race.

The problems I have with your argument:

Threatening someone through hate and destruction is not a sufficient condition for terrorism.

Although when you see the persecution of religious folks by atheists, the atheism is generally part of some greater political philosophy, and more of a secondary or tertiary part. The persecution is generally to get people to fall in line with the primary philosophy rather than an ends to itself (the Soviets wanted…

There are people of peace and people of violence. Religion is just one of the many excuses violent or peaceful people use to justify their actions.
