You make these statements as if they are a certainty. If you would step from the echo chamber for just a moment, perhaps you might see that many of the accusations thrown at the Republican candidate were trumped up by the media. I'm op

Because it's an addiction and by design, very difficult to quit. As for the gum, I can tell you that it's a rather poor replacement for cigarettes. It doesn't really eliminate (and barely curbs) the need for a cigarette.

I think the more mainstream media sources have the Trump stuff covered already. Since they have done a poor job releasing and publicizing information on Clinton, I think wikileaks is providing a valuable service. I assume since many mainstr

There's guilty, where you have evidence that points to a suspects guilt, and then there's (for example) "I did this thing in full view of 100 people and cameras" guilty. That's already pretty big difference between

I'm not a lawyer or a legislator. I don't have the legal wherewithal to know exactly how to word a potential codification of death penalty requirements based on a large amount of forensic evidence and a confession. It doesn't

I'm thinking more along the lines of a Jeffery Dahmer. There was overwhelming forensic evidence of guilt, along with full confessions. In that case, guilt was all but irrefutable. I've yet to hear an argument as to why someone li

I'm not advocating the death penalty in crimes of passion of even simple murder. I'm advocating for the death penalty for the "monsters" of the world such as Jeffrey Dahmer.

"With no eyewitnesses or technical forensic evidence to connect him to the crimes..." So no, not like that at all.

If there is any question of guilt, then the death penalty would not be an appropriate sentence. There are many examples where there is no question of guilt, where I feel the death penalty would be completely appropriate. Admitted serial kil

While it may not serve as a deterrent, in my opinion there are people that have performed actions so heinous and grizzly that they should not be allowed to live. The death penalty should be reserved for only the most depraved and irredeem

If someone is offended that often, maybe they are the problem and not everyone else.

People are upset because they still use those antiquated connectors and adapters are a huge pain in the ass. The first Android phone had no headphone jack, and it was a pain in the ass. Bluetooth hasn't progressed very much since then

Whoa there! I don't think the poster to which you responded said that marijuana should be criminalized, only that the risks are downplayed significantly by supporters of legalization. As a user myself, I tend to agree. It can be very e

That sounds an awful lot like profiling to me, and the social narrative is that profiling is wrong and immoral. Or is it ok to profile as long as you are profiling someone you perceive to be a member of a privileged class? I have a hard tim

If all white men are not to blame, then there's really no need to point out that the abusers are straight, white, and male.

For what it's worth, most transactions don't require a signature. They only time I've had to sign when using my debit card is when the transaction is in the 100s (not sure of the exact amount).

Not the OP, but I used a taxi in NYC last year that still used the imprint machine.

Isn't it also possible that the fact that most Muslims aren't white circumstantial? If not, then why not? Isn't it possible that another explanation is that these people are scared of Muslim terrorists, and they are having a

(disclaimer: also not a Trump supporter) I don't think Trump's opponents assume that his supporters are against all immigration at all. I think his opponents deliberately misinterpret Trumps' message to paint his supporters a

You seem to be painting with a very broad brush, friend. Perhaps you don't know as much about conservatives as you think. Just because some conservatives hold antiquated views doesn't mean it's true of all (or even the majori

As soon as Loretta Lynch announced that she would follow the recommendations of the FBI, I had a very strong feeling that there would be no charges filed.

Agreed. The "back of the queue" comment made by President Obama was merely posturing by the administration and doesn't necessarily reflect the views of Americans as a whole or even American politicians as a whole.

That may have been the intent. The million dollar a flavor fee isn't too large a hurdle for the likes of Phillip Morris, but will be ruinous for most of their competition.

When that happens, that government won't need Google to give them the information. Chances are they already have it. AT&T's secret rooms have been public knowledge since at least 2006.

As far as I know, data obtained using ECHELON or Predator or whatever they are are calling it this month, would not be admissible in court. The spying approach might work for the NSA, but the FBI needs data they can use in a court case.
