It's impossible to focus on getting rid of military grade assault weapons because the NRA controls Republicans and Democrats are split between wanting to ban all guns and wanting to create registries as if we're in a socialist country or something;

maybe it truly is the cost of freedom.

Making new laws is somewhat pointless because the laws on the books are not being properly enforced already.

Seems to me the solution is to get the lobbyists out of Washington and do away with that ruling from the Supreme Court that Corporations are People. These would be longterm goals and I don't think American people have the attention span to carry them through, so you might be right: Having guns readily available might be the cost of this version of freedom (there's more than one).

The odd thing to me about present-day America is that there are more restrictions in getting a gym membership and buying medicine in bulk than voting and purchasing a gun. How did that happen?

We got here by years and years of both sides not wanting to deal with the problem or finding a way together to make it worse. Neither side seems to want to get rid of lobbyists and other special interests, and that ruling by the Supreme Court is heavily supported by the Republican party who could easily pass legislation to say corporations are not people but refuse to at this time. Remember, it was a 5-4 decision of the more right-leaning justices against the more left-leaning justices that decided corporations are people so in that light one side was the problem. However, overall, we got here because of both sides.

Uh.. that is the definition of a corporation. 
Having a corporation limits the liability of specific people - and allows a company to continue after the executives die, retire, resign, etc. 
There is a downside also.. in that the executives in charge get taxed as a corporation, and again as individuals.  If the business was not a corporation - they would only get hit with with a corporate tax.

Also, you mentioned that the Supreme Court is packed with republicans.  Well, whose fault is that?  In the past 24 years.. we had 8 years of Clinton and 8 years of Obama.  It's going to get much more republican because the moonbats were so sure that Hillary was going to win, that the senile moonbats such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg did not retire during Obama so they could find another moonbat to replace them.  There are 3 moonbat justices that are so old and senile that they won't last the 4 or 8 years of Trump.

@aadam101:

I would rather eat Hillary's snatch then get anywhere near a naked Trump.

OMG, I just realized what could actually force me into committing suicide. If those were my two choices, I'd just leave this world permanently.
:blownose:

That reminds me of the question I have asked moonbats many times, but never gotten an answer.  If not Trump.. who?  They typically reply "ANYBODY!" without specifying anyone.  It's funny that even though they only had two choices - Trump or Hillary - none of them have the guts to say that they would prefer Hillary.  I did hear one mentally disturbed bitch democratic strategist say yesterday that she wishes Obama was president - which is ironic - because Obama has already completed 2 terms and can never be president again.  Oprah can't be president because the Russians have nude photos of her when she was 350 pounds having sex with Gayle King - and they could blackmail her.

@cteavin, you make a great point about the cherry picking and this thread makes a great point overall. Where is that line? I believe conservatism is severely needed to stop governmental overreach into our freedoms (especially guns and the freedom to love), but that it should be done in a manner to protect all Americans and not just those who are seen as worthy of that protection. Like Frederick said, it is just like the attacks on free speech by the left. They like to believe they're advocating for free speech but they're actually advocating for limited speech tailored to their points of view.

This is me not caring about the alleged sexism but being very happy that he's getting kicked out of Hollywood after ruining so many movies. #WhateverItTakes #SaveOurMovies #TheseWomenCouldHaveSaidNo

She's 19, for heaven's sake, and heading to Harvard, and you're calling her a "dumb b."

If you want to troll on Weinstein, surely there are better and fairer targets than Malia.

You enjoy clothing reviews?  Get a hosting gig on E! network's Fashion Police.   :twg:

At 19, I was a junior (3rd year) in Engineering at my University. 
I think it's time for Malia to get out of her diapers and pop the pacifier out of her mouth.

Seems that Malia is plenty old enough to be a boozer and stoner.

Women dress like that all the time. Oi, you should see Japanese women in the snow here – and kids! It'll be zero and they have to wear short pants because that's the uniform.

As to whether a topic is good enough for P&D's D is debate, if someone is going to challenge something, then that topic is fair game. The picture is funny. Obama's child is now an adult. Chelsa and Melania, like it or not, are public figures and now fair game. If you wanna broaden the topic, is there anything/anyone that we, in a free Western country can't mock, joke about, or turn into satire? Ask Danielle Tosh about rape jokes…

I don't have the time to look for it but the English language Chinese newspapers have reported that Beijing has begun to openly talk about what a war would look like and what a NK without Kim in charge would be. This is supposed to send a message to NK. Since Kim wants to remain in power this is all likely bluster.

Over here, they're not taking it seriously.

North Korea and China have "Cried Wolf" so many times that nobody takes them seriously.

If China were to have any military conflict with the USA.. who would they sell all their slave made shit to?

To the rest of the world?

There's that video of the black chick with her fatherless kids living in a hotel screeching "somebody needs to pay for all these kids".    Turned out that all 10+ kids each had a different father.

In the UK, we don't really see anyone other than whites with lots of kids because that would be racist.   Heather [what's her name] had 12 kids and made so much money on welfare that she could afford to buy her boyfriend pilot training (£200 - £250 an hour), stable a horse (about £350 a month), several pedigree dogs (£600 - £1,200 each), parrots (£1,000 each)  and countless other things.    Another family showed the parents saying they make to much money on welfare to bother getting jobs.  They said that getting jobs would severely cut their income, to normal levels.

That is cheap for pedigree dogs.  Parrots in that price range would be large cockatoos, macaws, blue front amazons, and African Grays.

I've seen several cases of divorced women living off the money that is supposed to be child support.  Never get divorced before the kids are 18!

@raphjd:

It's clearly an SJW move and one not based on reality.

HIV/AIDS can be deadly, whereas the others aren't.     That to me is the difference.

We've also had cases where both males and females have purposely infected others out of revenge for them getting it.

++++

This doesn't affect "gift givers" as they are called.  This is because the "bug chasers" are actively seeking it.    The law only knowingly giving it without telling the victim.   It also doesn't affect those that know they are POZ but don't tell their sex partner, and the sex partner doesn't get it.

I know of one case where a guy with AIDS committed suicide simply by refusing all treatment.  He was very depressed, didn't want to live anymore, and let nature take it's course.  The sad thing is, he was a nice guy.  He has been abandoned by his parents, did a couple of years in the military, wound up living with a sugar daddy (who later produced a few terrible movies starring Brent Corrigan), then working at Walt Disney World, got sick, refused treatment, and died.  Ironically, his parents took care of him in his last months.  Perhaps the reason he allowed his health to fail is that his failing health got him the love and attention of his parents back.

Actually, religion has it's own section and it's all encompassing, unless it has a political slant.

@MrMazda:

If they were putting things that were outright illegal in their TOS, they'd of been shut down by the US government, or otherwise fined HEAVILY a long ass time ago… That being said though, I don't doubt for so much as one second that they'll do as shady of things as they can legally get away with.

For example, did you know that if you allow Facebook or Messenger to access your camera and/or microphone, that Facebook can spy on you without your knowledge at any time? Don't believe me? Read their TOS. I turned off the permissions to access my location the day that Facebook tried to make it MANDATORY to post your location with all of your posts. It seems that with every update that they roll out, they're doing shadier and shadier shit. I've contemplated getting rid of my Facebook account because of it for some time now.

Thanks for that information!  It's shocking what Facebook gets away with!
I am certain that if people knew what was in the TOS, a MASSIVE number of people would get rid of their Facebook accounts which would cripple their operation.  Even if they didn't get rid of their accounts, they would stop USING their accounts.

@raphjd:

In the UK, TV news is legally required to be unbiased but it's not, not really.

The BBC de-muslimed  the Paris McDonald's killer.   This is the norm in the west.

Breakfast type shows aren't counted as "news"  so they can put whatever slant they want, as long as their official news slot is unbiased.

++++

Other than literally killing off a bunch of liberal twat bags and replacing them with centrists, I don't know how to solve the problem.

England has a real problem now.  It has become heavily influenced by muslims and moonbats.. to the point where when Lilibet invited the Donald to come visit, he can't go because a visit would result in riots.  That is probably due to the fact that the mayor of London is a muslim plonker who pulls no punches when it comes to Trump.  It seems to me that the PM has the right to criticize a world leader such as Trump, but th e mayor of London should keep his mouth shut when it comes to international relations.

She was fired because she used her account as part of her job.      If she had used her account as just a personal thing, she would not have been fired.

@cteavin:

From a Facebook conversation I've been having.

"How can we agree on funding for public programs when the GOP insists that we don’t have enough money to fund them? How can they seriously believe there’s no money? There is money, we just spend much of it on the US military and tax breaks for corporations and the rich. Now, if we agreed on how much money goes to the Pentagon and tax breaks vs. food stamps and other forms of welfare, we maybe figure out something, BUT…"

That question is too broad.   What public program is not getting enough money?  It sounds to me like someone is bitching that they are not getting their abortion program funded.

Their abortion program?

😛

I think this refers to Planned Parenthood through a lot of programs are cut.

The US is really not much different that NK in that The Military is the number one in both countries. The US happens to have more wealth, so they can still afford to pay for Social Security, Healthcare (for some), and Veterans. If the US keeps cutting public programs and continues to increase the military, well, that line between the two becomes thinner and thinner.

Here's another similarity: The US has The Highest number of people in prison on the planet and those people work while incarcerated. NK does the same thing.

My personal beef is that education keeps getting cut. Is it really surprised that we're having such problems with SJW's poor thinking skills when we no longer teach them reason, rhetoric, logic? Kids are crammed together in awful conditions to pass tests.
