Thanks Shane. :)

And on a similar note:

"We libertarians just need to infiltrate the Republican party!"--a few too many libertarians.

Because that worked so well for Ron Paul in 2008 & 2012.

The words "battered spouse syndrome" comes to mind with the ones still saying that.

So uh... did some research on this, and I just learned that @ozchrisrock is not, in fact, Chris Rock's twitter. That would be (surprise) @chrisrock.

I... I feel more stupid than usual.

EDIT: For what it's worth, I also learned this account has also been accused of plagarism. So... that's a thing.

QuoteRoll them sleeves up then. No need for me already ubermensch immune system. Only shots I got were the ones the army forced me and I've gone through enough detoxs to flush the poison out

someone's response to yet another st udy that debunks the supposed link between  vaccines and autism. and he is probably using t he term ubermensch unironically as he IS a white nationalist who liked to  pretend to be libertarian like Ryan Faulk.


As an aside, Let's have an experiment. Let's  assume they are right. unlikely but let's assume. That they are absolutely %100 correct in assum9ing vaccines cause Autism. So. The. @#$%. What? Are these people seriously trying that death by measles or smallpox is a better outocme th an living wiht autism? What a bunch of elitist pricks. So basically if they're wrong, than they're idiots. If they're rig ht, than they're bigots. there's no way they can come out of the argument looking good.

It's easy to ignore the few people who are actually endangered at the moment because as long as the anti-vax idiocy doesn't spread too much, they are protected enough to have the luxury to not care.

Detox ... And for a vaccine, above that ...

QuoteI know how the term regulate works Daniel. I've taken a couple law classes. I've also gone through the history of our law in high school. I know how it works. It is you that doesn't understand gun control. Gun control doesn't put guns into the hands of the elite. No. As already mentioned, gun control doesn't mean making guns illegal to purchase/own. Citizens are still able to purchase guns, it just means that it is regulated. Transportation is regulated. Doesn't mean cars are only in the hands of the elite. Do you agree that violent felons should be prohibited from purchasing or owning guns? If so, you support gun control. How about restriction based off age? You agree with that? If so, you are supporting a form of gun control/regulation. Same goes for the mentally unstable. They are prohibited from owning them because of their mental health issues. That is gun control/regulation. I know how this works daniel. I've studied this subject.

Daniel Wilcox You are suggesting regulate means to restrict. when it in fact means the opposite in this context.

Jason Dietzel Correct daniel. The original understanding of the Second is that the "people" are the people of the militia. As long as you were part of the local militia, which acted like the police force back in the day as a means to provide security for the community, you could keep and bear arms. Also, this only applied to free men (white) as women and blacks were not allowed to keep and bear arms.

Now, the Second has been reinterpreted to mean individual rights to keep and bear arms...and I'm fine with that, as long as it is properly regulated.

Funny how that isn't what they said in the ratification debates.

"Before a standing army can rule the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States." —Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (1787).

It's like the worst of the other brands of woo:  moon hoaxers, creationists, anti-vaxxers, etc all combined.  I chimed in as well.  I didn't have much to add, but oh well.

Another fail: https://twitter.com/IronFury51488/status/592836785098612736  Not Dave's post, but the replies from @thatfishscale and @rk70534 defending the Baltimore Riots that are currently underway.  Stay classy, folks...

Those kind of answers really pisses me off because those rioters, do they have a code of conduct as a group, or are they a disorganized mass with no goals ? They clearly are the latter and that's why they loot shops and break other people's stuff instead of focusing on say, taking control of the police, getting evidence that they are denied, etc.
People don't want to aknowledge it, but fuck, humans are dumb as a group. That's just a fact of life. You don't trust a crowd, ever.

What a prick.



Shit like this is why we'll never be able to have a serious discussion of police brutality in this country. Whether it's the blatant casual racism or condescending excuse making. Fucking hell.

Quoteregarding your claim that the government does not have the right to regulate business, well here is where you are wrong: the Commerce Clause from Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the Constitution states that US Congress shall have power "to regulate commerce with foreign nations (Foreign Commerce Clause), and among the several states (Interstate Commerce Clause), and with the Indian tribes (Indian Commerce Clause). The Necessary and Proper Clause can also be considered in relation to the Commerce Clause.

Quotedirect your attention to Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution: here, it states that Congress has the power to organize, arm and DISCIPLINE (aka regulate according to any dictionary) the militia. Plus, it states later on, that the individual states can enforce regulations prescribed by Congress, and appoint officers of the militia. If you look up the word "militia," you will see that it is a body of citizens who are responsible for the defense and public safety of communities...much like how the police department is now doing. militias are the predecessors to the police department. also, the militia can be used by the government in leiu of a standing army. George Washington even used militias to put down armed rebellions. one of the biggest concerns was that there shouldn't be a standing army in peace time, and the Constitution even suggests the standing army be reviewed every two years to see whether it should be defunded and disbanded. our founding fathers didn't want a standing army in peacetime and thought a militia would be best for community policing and defense.

Quoteso, the Second Amendment is about militias. the right to keep and bear arms is granted to the body of citizens in a militia, but only if that militia meets the standards/regulations prescribed by the government.
