Whatever Obama doesn't do.

I'm not surprised, the median of humanity is no better than cavemen. Only a tiny, tiny fraction of us actually invent things like cell phones and robots, the rest of us just use them to send each...

If that is the case, they should spend their time arguing against those policies, and not attempting to manufacture scandals for impeachment.

How the fuck do you get here from what he said?

The point is, I don't think anyone thinks that Bush wasn't effective at driving his agenda. He successfully pushed for war in Iraq, Medicare Part D,...

The point is, their government funding policy to date has been about equivalent to implementing a non-progressive tax policy. The US also has a flat-to-regressive tax policy, so really the...

91.3% of that debt is owned by Japanese citizens, so "debt service" means interest payments to their own citizens.

Nice. Thanks for making it easy.

I know you'll say you didn't actually say that. Anyone with half a brain can deduce the...

Remember, ILC is not conservative. He just thinks abortion is murder, the "mainstream media" is "in the tank" for Obama, charity substitutes for taxes, and happens to be obsessed with Benghazi.

3D printers aren't magic, they won't be able to manufacture things that can't already be manufactured in some way. The advantage of 3D printers is automation (and therefore cost), not the materials...

Not arguing with you, but I just want to point out this is one of the biggest flaws of libertarianism.

It is very easy for people to incur more liability by doing every day tasks of modern...

Exactly my experience...more than once.

If anyone actually cared that much about a target, 3D printers don't make a difference. Just get a block of ABS and drill a hole in it. That's about the same thing as the 3D printed version, just...

From page one of this very thread:

In reply to a post about the "democratically controlled congress".

Your entire MO is to nitpick an irrelevant detail of an argument that even if invalidated,...

Identifying relevance is not your strong point.

The reason it is set up like this is to spread the DOD budget around, so the DOD budget doesn't look quite so obscene.

The military is generally more sane than the civilian government when it...

Romney wasn't chastised purely because he was wealthy, he was chastised for the way he appeared to earn his money, which looked a lot like being an economic parasite. On top of that, he advocated for...

What part of "2-3 shots" is long lasting or reliable? I sure as fuck would not fire that gun while it was in my hands (or within 10 feet of it really). That's why I compared them to weapons of the...

Is that why I've been hearing about Obama's failure on Gitmo in the MSM? You like to say that you aren't a republican, but you've so completely eaten the republican media bullshit you forget to turn...

We've got a post-labor-scarcity economy now. The govt will give everyone a living income, or people will take it ("take up arms").

It does seem like the Obama admin is in the wrong on this one. Hopefully they lose the court appeal. You would make more sense if you used current news (where the issue is a 15 year old age limit)...

When it comes to irresponsible gun ownership, often it is un-involved bystanders that are the victim of the stupid, not the perpetrators of the stupid.

All drugs have safety concerns, the question is whether those concerns are outweighed by their benefits. In this case, Plan B is certainly safer than a pregnancy, which is actually a fairly dangerous...

You mean the guy that's going to prison? Do you want him to go to prison twice or something?

3D printed guns are not going to be long lasting or reliable for the forseeable future. In a manner of speaking, they are more similar to the weapons of the era when the constitution was written. I...

Again, the issue is about how easy it is to break the laws in question. In the case of drugs, considering the most common drug there is grows practically by itself, it's almost as silly as trying to...

Until there is a border control and customs inspection at every port of entry between states/cities that have gun restrictions and those that don't, local gun control laws are mostly pointless. I...

That was the farthest and fastest moving of the goal posts I've ever seen. But thanks for offering to "make it fair to me".

Why do you keep pulling these stupid hunches out of your asses when we have the numbers readily available that show these statements are false?

Tried that. Coincidentally, a political faction...

I didn't really make an argument, I just pointed out your assumptions were false. I'm sorry that disturbs you so much. If you were a rational person, that would prompt some kind of re-evaluation of...

Ah yes, the brilliant "guns don't kill people" argument. Read my post again, I didn't say anything about guns, the noun, killing people.

You'd guess wrong:...

YOUR rights extend as far as they don't infringe on others' rights. The right to own guns in the US has led to more people being deprived of their right to life and health than the converse.

I'm so tired of hearing that guns "accidentally go off" in the hands of little kids that happen to be pointing at other people. The likliehood of that actually happening as described is...

Marx's predictions about capitalism are correct, but I don't think his prescription (communism) is correct.

You have more posts than anyone else in this thread, and barely even one of them is relevant to the topic at hand. Sounds like a meltdown to me.

I didn't say it was likely, but the capacity is there. In the right (wrong?) situation, and the right (wrong?) hands, what I said is absolutely possible. On the other hand, it is completely...

So you agree it's stupid to attempt to relate "we should ban guns" logic with "we should ban Muslims" logic? Because if so, then we are in agreement!

1. There were 11,000 firearm homicides in 2010 (roughly extrapolating, that implies ~133,000 people since 2001), not 'dozens', and almost twice that number of suicides. Yes, I know you specifically...

Yeah, maintaining control of the nuclear weapons of the Soviet Union was all rainbows and sunshine: http://www.fas.org/spp/starwars/crs/91-144.htm
