I've even seen them ending up in the ocean and harbors. Teens will litter them on the shoreline and not realize (or care) that the high tide will take them.

I use the strategy for a few things - including when I want to get reviews of a product or service. There's still potential for manipulation there, but you can judge the replies based on the user history - and you know that businesses

Are there some good examples of living artists/creatives who fit this description? I'd love to take a look.

Good - you have the skills needed to bootstrap the thing for cheap. Don't even worry about what's going to happen after your MVP right now - you'll have to work your ass off to ever get to that point. My advice is to NOT spen

Why don't you see how far you can go without quitting your jobs or spending any significant money? Putting up a website is free nowadays. No need to form a company until it seems like you might actually start making deals or need it fo

Fair point, but slamming into large, stationary vehicles seems to be a recurring theme for the autopilot incidents. I'd put my money on this being autopilot.

I'm not using the term incorrectly. You're changing my argument's meaning from 'some' to 'ALL' - and then refuting the weaker argument. I feel like you're arguing from a place of emotion and clearly a

> Many gun owners do only have one gun for protection You keep using this logic, but it's just another strawman. I've never claimed these statements apply to everyone - that's a very weak interpretation, so I don't th

> The idea of the dog protecting the family is common amongst all large dog owners, it's not really specific to pitbull owners. Ok then my argument still holds true, and you're just upset that I called out pitbulls specifically

Not necessarily strangers, but just in casual conversations with people in public places. Which guns they think are badass, the high price of ammunition, the annoyances of new regulations, etc.

I didn't mean to imply that there wouldn't be a payment - although it's not always the case.

If you asked pitbull owners what the benefits of their dog was, I assume most would put something like 'protects my family/house' on their list, or joke around about what would happen if an unlucky intruder chose their house

Well I assume rural areas have much higher rates of gun ownership, for one.

Because a lot of people claim they want a pitbull for home protection purposes, so it makes sense that they'd be more likely than average to have other means of protection as well.

You may be right - but enough people do make it obvious that criminals wouldn't ever have a problem locating those households. Even without that obvious stuff, I've found that a lot of gun owners can't resist 'gun talk&#

That's a straw man (I never said this applied to ALL gun owners), and I'd actually say that making straw man arguments in response to perceived negative comments about guns is also correlated with ownership - thus, I assume you ar

Bumper stickers, t-shirts, 2nd-amendment-related flags are probably a good place to start. Campaign signs, etc. Voter registration, political donations, etc. I'm guessing pitbull ownership is also correlated. Souped up trucks. Mailers

A gift would still follow the state's laws on firearms transfers and eligibility, which can involve various forms and middlemen. With a straw purchase you're just handing the gun to someone else. It's more of a gray area when

Not if there's a border checkpoint to enter cities - I wouldn't be surprised to see that sort of thing at some point down the line. Like customs.

Love your UI - nice work. Edit - no way for me to delete my account though Just as a note - the reason I decided to stop using it was it was too hard for me to find anyone else on there, just kind of gave up and left.

I understand a lot of those, but why is "beaver cleaver" on the list? I could see how it might be used in a dirty way, but that can't be the most common way it's used, right?

That's fine with me. I suppose if other arthropods are already legally classified as fish then it's not much of a leap. Not sure what impact bees have on aquatic ecosystems though - I was able to google something about potential p

I donated ONE TIME to a classical radio network in Southern California and over the next 5 years they proceeded to send me mailers that cost at least what I'd donated. They did eventually stop.

was anyone else hoping when he said Windows wouldn't cut it he was going to start talking about Linux? Just kidding of course (kind of). Sounds like a fun project.
