Yeah, plenty of white supremacist gangs in prison already. Would be redundant.

Lol

They said,

Hamas are not good guys by any stretch

and then you say,

How the hell Hamas are the good guys […]?

Not only a straw man, but you’re literally acting like they made the complete opposite argument. Bad faith, dude. Bad faith.

Not even going to get into the whole, “they pushed Israel for so long that it finally snapped” thing. Just a complete historical revisionism.

Do people actually buy this shit?

The reason things can be censored in schools is because of the “bong hits 4 Jesus” case that went to the Supreme Court who said the school taking it down didn’t violate their freedom of speeech because “it could reasonably seen as promoting drug use at a school event”.

Fucking stupid case because if I recall it was at a parade for the Olympic torch coming through their town (doesn’t sound like a school event to me) and was not on school property.

Just a kid who happened to go to school being harassed, outside of school, by a principal at a public parade in their town, for holding a silly sign.

So what is there a caveat to 1A that says, “Congress can make no law […] unless that speech or expression may reasonably be seen as promoting drug use”?

What a bullshit country run by octogenarian Christians who just won’t leave people the fuck alone.

Yeah if only they had their own secular, democratically elected leaders. And maybe those leaders could even decide to nationalize their oil.

What could possibly go wrong for them?

Good response, but just to let people know: Alanon is run by The “Church” of Scientology. An abusive cult that trafficks humans and ruins people’s lives.

Do you think this is Threads’ final form? Embrace, extend, extinguish. This is what corporations do. Everything is a zero sum game in their minds, and they will act in the best interest of shareholders. That shit has no business here.

Scalia’s vote in Heller (singled him out because it was openly against his so-called “originalist” school of thought) undid far more than just fifteen years of precedent.

What if libraries stopped existing because they were completely replaced by something else? Militias stopped existing when we created a standing army. Or, if you want to be charitable, they’ve evolved into “National Guard” who are often armed. They are also well-regulated, as the amendment requires.

Also, this analogy is shit, you can’t take someone’s life in a split second, without a thought, with a fucking book. Give me a break.

I’ve seen this again and again with younger people in particular (though I’ve also seen the occasional boomer behave similarly). It’s like people have no concept of how long things can take in the real world sometimes.

How in the fuck does this guy’s hair affect anybody else in literally any way? Absurd

America is huge, it varies wildly by region. Nobody in my area gives a shit about stuff like that, and didn’t ~25 years ago when I was in HS either

I hate everyone you mentioned, but Cruz and Cornyn are federal legislators. They don’t pass state laws. That’s not how it works.

Until housing is no longer seen as an investment, which can only happen if we are allowed to build sufficient housing

It can happen through legislation.

I would say it’s like 1000x closer to energy drinks than coffee, are you kidding? Monster even makes Lemonade flavors of energy drink. It’s the same thing. People aren’t drinking 30oz of coffee, then getting a free refill or two.

Apparently Panera’s defence is that each customer should look up and read the detailed ingredient list and have enough specialized nutritional knowledge to know which dosages constitute a danger to their life.

AKA the position of every libertarian ever. No big deal, just some collateral damage while the “free market” “corrects itself.”

You know, everyone keeps saying “the worst part is the hypocrisy,” but I disagree. I think the worst part was the raping.

(I feel kind of bad making this joke in this thread, but on the other hand… Norm. So…)

Honestly, if I met someone on a dating app, and she ghosted me early on for “having green text bubbles,” I’d consider that a bullet dodged.
