You mean as it was implied that force was used rather than him being “ordered”, “instructed” or “commanded”? With sections like “the gun-haver—who claimed to have a license to carry the weapon—was forced to the ground. This guy is not being charged with anything.” I really can’t imagine why... 

Studies have shown that it actually does tend that way, though due to the topic it does vary on a number of issues not the least of which is the health of the relationship. Newsweek put out a survey years ago where it showed married couples had sex on average 70 times a year which came out to 7x as often as non-married…

Also, there were no negative effects of the Japanese internment camps less than 80 years ago. Right...?

Generally speaking castle doctrine applies to your vehicle as well as your home. So its been legal to defend your car (if you’re in it) for the last couple decades with lethal force. Has nothing to do with open or concealed carry states and I would be more concerned with concealed as you can at least see in advance…

I would partially say it comes down to the denomination, I’ve been to many denominations over the years and here is my general take. Baptists and some of the more fundamentalist sects may get a little abrasive but others like the Episcopal church tend to be more welcoming to visitors and those who are curious. It…

A lower minimum wage like $9-10 nationwide with local variances permitted makes sense, the problem is that minimum wage should not be viewed as a career. the fast food industry (non-management) should be a place to get job experience and money in high school or college, it should not be viewed as a long term career.…

In all fairness, the dance wouldn’t belong to him. If the first time it was used/popularized was as a part of his acting for a show the rights would go to the producing company. A game dev can’t claim copyright on their portion of the code, the studio can. Also, trying to copyright it how many years later and only…

Which is exactly why nationwide minimum wages don’t make much sense. Down here in Houston I was able to buy a 5 bedroom 3ksq ft house on a $50k salary. Seems they haven’t figured out different areas have different markets...

Hot dogs are not Tacos for a very simple reason. There is a very clear difference in that Tacos are food while hotdogs are trash. Please do not confuse the two.

I still think GW2 had a pretty good one...

Except that is a complete mis-characterization of my statement and the facts to fit your opinion and views. Additionally by your statements I can tell you did not read the cited studies so don’t ask for evidence and deny it exists when received. The problem and the difference is the physical component which you are…

There is actually a very simple reason for the divergence between the two arguments on violence vs sexual materials. When playing a violent video game your brain releases serotonin and dopamine as you accomplish tasks set before you in the game. Your brain understands the link between do X in game, you accomplish…

It is very different from the gateway drug argument. That argument implies an escalation separate from the original activity or source of the high, this deals directly with the steadily increasing amounts of stimulation chasing a high. So instead of the argument that weed leads to cocaine, it is the argument that as…

To put it simply there is no equivalence between the two due to physiological reactions, namely: Brain Chemistry

That is a good question, while I don’t have information on them specifically it would have to come down to whether or not they are classified as compulsive behaviors. Compulsive behaviors take many forms ranging from voyeurism/stalking, Pedophilia, Ephebophilia, etc.

Except psychologically speaking that isn’t how it works, ready access to the material generally reinforces the behavior as though it is acceptable to society either in part or in whole. Behaviors escalate rather than holding steady, most people don’t wake up and say “I really feel like raping a child today” and…

Counterpoint: A large percentage of the playerbase is 18 and under. Scrubs went off the air in 2010 and was not a top 10 viewership show while it aired. Turk’s dance aired in 1 episode of season 9 which was the lowest rated season of Scrub’s run. In other words, rather than it erasing anything, it introduced literally…

“Protip: your dictionary definition doesn’t work here. Shut up.”
 

Maybe a song based on mutual derision and condescension isn’t the best avenue to pursue praise or positivity? In that section especially the female portion is written as snarky/snide while the male portion is written as indignant/irritated. I don’t know that you could switch the roles without it becoming worse so…

Except juries are never “held accountable”, saying “lets up the charge to a higher tier and now you better decide the way we want you to, even though we chose to increase the burden of proof required” doesn’t exactly play well. Additionally it seems people forget that the defense does not have to prove she is…
