Aww, how cute.  It thinks it's people.  I give the object 1/10, but only because it got me to respond.  That's the best I can do.

As usual going with just the item titles:
6) No shit.
5) No shit.
4) Um, for whom?  Didn't you just say gun owners aren't a unified group? Tell that shit to folks in the ghetto with no self defense against gangs or the police (who more often than not aren't even there to begin with, much less protecting anyone but their own paychecks and their guilty peers).
3) So why don't gun control freaks start doing that?  I see a metric fuck ton of that shit from them than I do the gun lovers.
2) No shit.  It's also a thing for young black urban males.  And for people who just want a means of self defense.  Duh.
1) Horseshit.  What do you think the effect of gun laws/restrictions/regulations/etc are?

And if you think I'm being too hard on him, remember he's the same guy who wrote this:  http://www.cracked.com/article_20134_8-election-myths-you-probably-believe.html
Looks like we found a contender for David Wong of worst cracked.com author!

Well, let's see:

1. The brain washing stays with you forever.

Mostly true, as would any indoctrination undergone as an adolescent.

2. The treatment methods are insane (and ineffective).

If what she describes is true, then yeah. However, there is no reason to believe all such programs are run like this. Also, sometimes these methods are used only per parental request.

3. There's literally no regulation.

Unsubstantiated at best. Even if the state doesn't have specific rules, the federal gov't does, and all child neglect/abuse laws still apply.

4. Kid's die in there care.

I guess.

5. Your Parents give you up to a private company.

No, actually they don't. They give a private company permission to transport you to a care facility, and provide treatment. Also, in most cases, the parents are fully aware of the treatment plan, and must specifically approve anything that's extraordinary.

6. Your parents can hire people to take you away.

Maybe? Treatment against a patient's will is legally complicated at best, and depending on the circumstances, being transported as she describes would count as negligence/abuse. When I went, the people came during the day, at an expected time (I was told it was for something else), and when they conducted the home interview, it was explained to my parents exactly what would happen. I was present, but it was clear nobody was talking to me. At that time, it was discussed things like how often and how long I would be allowed to call home, receive mail/packages, etc.

In other words, a mixed bag at best.

Major fail in the graphic they used: "Their [Montana's] roads also had no speed limits back in the '90s." Yes, and accidents and fatalities DROPPED DRAMATICALLY. Notice how they didn't mention that part?

Actually, when my family traveled through Montana in the late 80's, there were signs every few miles that said "55 MEANS 55", and the graphics on them tended to indicate they were dead serious about the speed limit.

Oh yeah, because saying the one thing that you were forced to say as a kid totally makes you real fucking edgy and cool. Also, way to blatantly lie about kids not being forced to recite the stupid pledge. That's just as blatantly stupid as when Christians whine that they got rid of "god" from school. Only a moron would actually think this.

Wow, why to miss the point of an image.

This is more problem from inflation rather than minimum wage.

I would wager that the minimum wage (of course along with the inflation) is the reason why food is becoming more expensive. Because now that the price of labor is fixed that makes food more costly to produce and therefore as a result the food prices go up.
