so you admit, now, that tea partiers are exactly like everybody else and they aren't a special form of pure evil (but which tea partiers are you talking about? - the original ones that were essentially social progressives and fiscal conservatives? - or the current caricature of the far religious right that doesn't resemble the original intent at all (because on the right the religious nutters tried to absorb them, and on the left who mischaracterized them as religious nutters - because both were afraid of the movement) funny how the extremists on both sides worked together to derail something that threatened their status quo) ...

my service was meaningful - to me, and the org I worked in afterwards: We used a VA loan on our first house - it went smooth enough though quite a bit of useless administrivia though IMO - so grateful that we didn't have to do that for our next house though. The commercial loan process is much easier/friendlier Health care - I agree, I never want to have to deal with them for health issues - ever - government control of healthcare.... the exit interview process.......everything needed to get you out was streamlined and easy - everything that was a pre-requisite to getting VA benefits after you left? it was designed to create confusion and a 'what the fuck' attitude and just have everyone give up and not get all their applications in place. I have no doubt it was on purpose - shameful and disgusting ...

can we get even more basic? just ask them to recite Pi to 5 significant digits - if they need 'significant digits' explained to them or the spelling, then they don't get to reproduce (unless they are willing to pay offsets). ...

Clearly it would have to be implemented on a go forward basis. for 'mistakes', if they don't pass, mandatory abortions retroactive abortions? we'd need to establish a cut off date post birthing event - I'd say more than 18 years post the birthing event would be very distasteful ...

Me, I do care what he thinks and feels about. It's kind of why I'm pro death penalty. if you want him to suffer, or be afraid, or experience remorse or whatever.... Those arguments are more about people expressing their emotions/outrage against the criminal. I'm just noting that pro or anti I'm seeing a lot of those sentiments as justification for those positions on the topic. whatever - that's fine - expressing ourselves is great. But pandering to people's feelings should have nothing to do with justice. So it's a bad rationalization for or against DP. But - if 95% of the population (pro-or anti) can't disconnect their emotions from doing the right thing (ie assessing it rationally), rather than the thing that makes them "FEEL" better, then that's actually to biggest argument against the DP I've ever seen. And I'm for a rational application of the DP - I think it's necessary. But the inability of people to be adults about it.......makes me think we aren't capable of doing it right yet. ...

The whole thread is distasteful - and 95% about people's visceral feelings. So you know any response is already flawed from the start Pro DP - we need revenge Anti DP - make him suffer forever closure for the families - they are already victims - it's up to them how they recover, justice isn't about those families, it's about everyone. I'm still looking for the others that don't care if "he" feels or "thinks" about anything: Pro DP - Calmly and dispassionately remove this threat from society by humanely assassinating the threat. Anti DP - Calmly and dispassionately remove this threat from society by humanely imprisoning him for life You see no where in either position should we care one bit about Tsarnaev's experience..... I was aghast at all the news coverage trying to discern if he felt any 'remorse' - this is entirely unimportant. It's about protecting society, not Tsarnaev's. ...

Open Carry laws apply equally to everyone, don't they?

I agree, the cost of politicians trying to grow power by taking a simple self defense case and rebranding it falsely as a race issue is very expensive to the people. And it dilutes 'real' racial issues that should get honest attention. ...

NOT taking that bait. You and I might agree that manners and common sense and civility should prevail in our interactions and discourse with one another but there is no constitutional guarantee against being insulted. I think you overlooked the "Even so, we still have to protect your rights" comment I understand - most people here think that having a personal opinion on stuff automatically infers a desire to legislate - I'm not one of them ...

this is a function of most all of the world's great religions but it begs the question - is it real? or is it a survival mechanism on the large scale?

agreed - that was so tongue in cheek and poking at various certain someones by using today's standards instead of those from then.... but you'll get a feel for our personalities here if you stick around (hope you do)..I'm here mostly for my entertainment. But seriously the truly faithful religious types are inwardly strong and this stuff slides right off - those that get a bit "outraged", well, they need to be poked frequently. Hyper sensitive types tend to indicate people with weak faith, not strong. ...

a good idea in principle, but if you do it for groceries, wash those things frequently - food can leave nasty stuff in those especially when they just simmer in the car for the next trip to the store maybe the soapy washes will cancel the recycling benefits, but better than getting food poisoning as for the rest of the post - appears we agree. I only take exception to statements that puts us "outside" of nature - I think that's a tactical misuse of words to try and affect an emotional stance. If we want to do that, I think considering us as part of nature is more effective to the message. And it's less arrogant in general. ...

I agree - to point to an area, or demographic, and say - THERE's the boogieman. gives one a sense of comfort in their own area - or at least something one can act on. Plus it's 'convenient' to attack the entire demographic, rather than do the extra work of sifting through the individuals to find the real threats. Still, it's different than noting propensities and playing the odds. But that gets twisted too. ...

Did the author attend public or private school? Yes. 3 logicians walk into a bar. the bartender asks - "Do you three want drinks?"
