Well, it doesn't help that most of the gun enthusiasts' arguments for why they need their guns involve killing other people. That and I don't think that anyone needs a semi-automatic "assault-style" weapon to hunt

I don't find Mexican to be derogatory in and of itself (obviously someone could use it in a derogatory fashion), but I would avoid assuming that any random Hispanic person is Mexican though. Does that mean I'm being "politi

The FDA has its own set of problems. I feel like increasing funding doesn't guarantee that they will spend it on sorting out this fake food business.

Isn't a bit naive to think that your solution, which has obvious flaws is one-size-fits-all? I use cloud storage (e.g.) have access to my password file between my computers and my mobile devices. NFS shares on ~/share that only wo

No, but it's one of the obstacles to overcome if you want more male teachers.

The second paragraph doesn't necessarily connect to the first one. It's possible to believe there are no good solutions, while still seeing it as a problem.

"Netflix and chill" is current code for having sex. The idea is that you go over to someone's house turn on Netflix and proceed to ignore it while you have sex. @hnbroseph was playing off of the fact that this is another ph

If you vote for Candidate B just so that Candidate A doesn't get into office does that make me culpable for all of the bad things that Candidate B does in office? Do I "lose my right" to complain about Candidate B's bad

Farmers do this for a number of reasons: - Constantly feeding livestock antibiotics makes them grow bigger. The mechanism for why this happens is not understood (but who cares because bigger livestock means more money). - It is costly to

My point was less about action, than the view point that the dissenters should just give in to the status quo. And that anyone complaining about the status quo is just a whiner.

That's a different story than claiming that actual Native Americans that are offended by it should just "suck it up." I can give other examples. For example, this past weekend saw an air show about downtown Toronto as part of

Most people I've come across that argue against this stuff have some sort of straw man SJW in mind that is offended at the drop of a hat, but these people never really materialize or if they do no one can quantify that they are anyth

Can you quantify this? How many of these people exist? To me this just sounds like some sort of "stranger danger" boogeyman. A problem that is much smaller than you make it out to be.

This is a straw man. No one is going to call you our for using a piece of code because it lacks "inclusive" language, unless you decide to use a library with a name like `libniggerjew`. Or something that maybe includes variable na

Flooding them with antibiotics isn't just to "keep them alive." It makes them grow bigger (i.e. more meat to sell means more money). This is a big part of the resistance to ending the practice too.
