I would argue we live in a crazy society WITH guns. As I mentioned before, its more difficult than its ever been to buy a gun. Mail order rifles, machine guns, pistols, etc., without even verifying the address or calling the purchaser up until the 60s. The difference is the culture, not the...

I was steadily losing weight when I made sure not to gorge when up (not too much at least :rofl:). On a break since I am likely to have a to test for a new job (interviewing heavily at the moment) and now I have to be VERY careful about how much I eat without the metabolism boost. If your food...

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD YES. Especially when vaped!!! A WHOLE SEASON!!

I just find the discussion so heavy handed depending on what the most recent tragedy happens to be. It makes honest discussion incredibly difficult. And I am well aware of Reagan's failure in this regard. That was a monster that would have been as easy to "fix" as our current political...

You're ignoring the allocation of data, I'm not ignoring the source of the data. That article assumes the same thing the DoD does, that every death of an able bodied male is considered the death of a combatant (or "potential combatant), which there is absolutely, positively no way of knowing...

Except those statistical calculations are completely ignoring the part where the US considers all deaths of post-pubescent men as potential combatants. Which happens to be the largest number of deaths reported by any account of drone strikes. We only exclude post-pubescent males from potential...

Obama drastically increased drone attacks well before he took soldiers out. And this isn't my opinion, this is the Bureau of Investigative Journalism. 'The Bureau has tracked drone strike casualties in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia from 2004 onwards. In Yemen and Somalia these figures also...

Aren't these the same police shooting unarmed civilians, choking out medical patients, and abusing their captives? Isn't that tyranny? We are discussing an issue that is only relevant after the dismantling of the mental health structure (that was incredibly abusive) but actually kept these...

Then why have drone attacks almost quadrupled post Cheney? Except they're not. See my previous post with the link. We (DoD) are labeling all post-pubescent men as "potential" threats, so we aren't including them in our civilian casualty report. It's rather convenient, and rather disgusting...

Good luck. The DEA, FDA, and CDC are all just rotations for pharma/agra execs and C-suites. And some DoD people as well. We are talking about a system where major drug companies make their own generics just to keep the profits in house, and at the same time re-patent drugs with isometric...

For me its about diminishing returns. Yes, I could spend 2.3x as much for a Pax2 or FF2, but from the videos I have seen, I wouldn't be getting 2x the clouds. Flavor? Perhaps, but I don't partake for flavor, I partake for fun. And even then, I don't know that the "premo" line of vapes the...

Depends on what industry you work in. Politics, yes. Gun trafficking, yes. School teacher, depends on where you live. It's an interesting world. And not necessarily in a good way.

Not sure how Atheism isn't a belief system when the entirety of the basis revolves on a lack of evidence for something as opposed of for something.

I find it interesting that there are several (although I can only think of one off the top of my head) where Muslim religious rights have trumped equal rights issues. Specifically, a Muslim taxi driver kicked out a gay couple for kissing in the back seat *gasps!* and he won the civil suit. If...

Oh I'm sure they mean it, just not in a nice way.:rofl:

I find it hard to argue the comparison between driving and firearms. For one, driving/owning a car isn't specifically written into the constitution. Secondly, driving is inherently MUCH more dangerous than carrying a gun. Even if everyone in the country had guns, bumping into each other...

They might be seclusive, but does that mean they are violent? I think that's what he was getting at.

Sorry, had to edit this out. I meant what I said, but it doesn't add to the discussion in a responsible way.

That's interesting logic, considering that PEOPLE are required to be in religion, PEOPLE are required to pull a trigger, and PEOPLE are responsible for their actions, not their religion, but I digress. And then what about the good that comes from religion? Do we really only judge religions...

Just based on what I have seen here: Cloud Evo/Vap3/Plenty/7th Floor line (since the heating element is all the same) for desktops tend to get the best accolades. If you're into bags then Volcano? I hate the idea of bags personally, but that's once again a taste preference. For portables...
