I think he's taking poetic license there.

Selling the blood was pulling the trigger, both done with intent. Whether that action would result in a death was unknown to them in the strict sense, but they knew there was significant risk. Frankly my example is probably being genero

Thinking in terms of "our side" and "other side" is part of the problem I think. I may pay taxes to one of the involved parties, but that's not a rational reason to root for that side like it was my preferred sport

The root contention here is over the word "prevent". You questioned this: > "Signed agreements do not prevent your information from being used in other ways." But I guess you now understand why contracts do not pr

If you deliberately loaded a single round into a revolver, spun the cylinder and then put the gun against your neighbors head and pulled the trigger, would that not be murder in the 1-in-6 chance that your neighbors brains were blown out?

The law does not prevent anybody from murdering you with an axe. The law forbids people to murder you with an axe. Once you understand the distinction there, you will understand the answer to your question.

As I understand it, it applies to corporations deliberately manufacturing foods that way. It would be ridiculous if the law applied to fruits, but it doesn't. And nobody would earnestly call for the law to be applied in that way exce

I've seen sources for less cannabis, but I'm skeptical that the proportion of opioid/prescription medication abuse is down. Furthermore there is also the very serious issue of adderrall abuse, which is very common, and doubt

I'm referring to the practice of eating breaded chicken ("nuggets" and/or "fingers"/"tenders") with copious amounts of ketchup. I think a lot of people have a blindspot to the nutrition of condim

Furthermore I wouldn't call it cheap. If you want a cheap breakfast meat, sausage meat is significantly cheaper. Spam being shelf-stable often makes it worth the price though; I love it when camping.

Do they take less drugs, or do they just take less recreational drugs? Anecdotally, I'd wager kids are taking more drugs than ever before, specifically the kind that come with a prescription. And we could really get into the weeds

Are kinder eggs actually a dangerous product, or are they just getting swept up by broader American legislation? It's my understanding the American law preventing the importation of kinder eggs is a law against inedible objects from b

Has there been any change in the rate of depression or other mental disorders in minors, and if so, is loss of autonomy one of the factors in this?

Are you trying to suggest that the racial makeup of Germany is inferior to America? I'd say population size, geographic properties (location, climate, resources, etc) and economic history count for much more than any racial inferiorit

> "(and saying they "should DIE & go to HELL!" is somewhat more to just saying they should go to hell)" Is it? It just seems redundant to me. Redundancy may be offensive, but it shouldn't be illegal!

> "insults, death threats" There is a world of difference between these two things. To my knowledge death threats are illegal in every American state. Insulting people is generally legal, just like it should be.

I disagree with your conclusion. While it's true technological advances have rendered many traditional forms of soap boxes obsolete, that means we need to develop new more capable soap boxes. But perhaps this is what you allude to wi

The soap box has not been exhausted. It's not something you use once or twice and then give up on. And because the soap box has not been exhausted, the ballot box has necessarily not been employed to the full extent. The ammo box is

Maybe this says more about climate than it does about governments. Of course if that's true, that people care more about the weather than the government, maybe that in itself is saying something.

Personally I prefer that US police look ugly and militaristic when they do it, since that sort of poor PR will work against them in the long run. If they presented themselves with a peaceful and calm aesthetic, the problem of asset forfeit

I disagree and I strongly discourage you from shooting people. There is still a large portion of the public who don't know what civil forfeiture is or why it's a bad thing. If you want to make a difference the best thing you c

There is a common saying: "There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury and ammo. Please use in that order." Emphasis on Please use in that order. I can't believe this needs to be emphasi

It's logical of course, but I see the irony. Or maybe it's not irony, nobody really knows what irony is, but it's mildly.. amusing? It makes half my face smile in a manner similar to but not quite like a smirk.
