  1. You'd be surprised at the number of conservatives who encourage minorities and liberals to be armed. I've seen it in action too. A couple of the shooting ranges I've been to in the last few months had a lot of people of color practicing their skills or learning to shoot for the first time. That made me happy.
  2. You guys are pants on head crazy if you think a vaccine passport would work in America. Even if you were successful in implementing such a system, the backlash would be big enough to cause the Democrats to lose bigger (they are already going to big) in 2022.
  3. Throwback to the 1700s when Scotland made a bunch of dumb financial moves and was forced to join the English in a new union.
  4. Be Scotland Vote to break away from UK and rejoin EU Multi year negotiation to join EU Joins EU EU dissolves shortly after Billions in debt and economy sunk, Scotland joins England and Wales to form the country of Great Britain
  5. Back when weed was legalized in Washington state, the state set up a tax revenue sharing system for all participating counties and city governments - basically if that municipality allowed weed shops to open in their communities, they would also get a cut of the taxes collected. The very red Yakima city council in Eastern Washington voted to not allow legal sales, and they also argued that they should still be able to get a cut of the revenue because of the negative impact of legal weed.
  6. The real news is that Jeff Bezos is finally launching people into space in July!* Blue Origin was actually founded BEFORE SpaceX. *Not into orbit, just into suborbital space, straight up and down.
  7. The other day at work, we were talking (literally talking) about a product of some kind, and the next day when I opened up my Facebook app on my phone, there were a bunch of ads on my stream about that product. I thought that was weird, and I verified that I didn't search for that thing by looking through my search history on Chrome. I legit think that the Facebook app was listening to our conversation.
  8. The reward should be cash, and not some sort of tax credit or other bullshit like that.
  9. Exploration for exploration's sake? I know it's a TV show, but that's sort of the point of Star Trek. Captain Kirk wasn't going around trying to conquer planets or do harm, his mission was to explore and increase humanity's shared knowledge. As to why they just wouldn't set up a telescope...I suppose we could conduct quite a bit of research on Antarctica with satellites, but we still chose to send researches there to study the continent, and the Earth as a whole.
  10. I reject the argument that UFOs/Aliens cannot or have not visited the Earth, because the distances between solar systems is light years, making travel all but impossible. It's a bad argument because it's very likely the technology at play is eons ahead of what man has thought up, and we simply don't know everything about physics. We "know" the laws of physics, until we discover some new quirk or alternative explanation. That isn't to say that faster than light travel is possible, but surely Aliens have the knowledge and technology to cover vast distances in very little time.
  11. There's nothing left of Vista after that Spirit Cooking party Bill and Melinda threw (with the Clintons, of course) back in 2013.
  12. When we still lived in Oregon, I made it a point to cut down the tall grass behind my house. It wasn't our property, but the city didn't maintain it (very steep), and it was a huge fire hazard by the time it all dried out in ~June.
  13. Libruls: Let's set up safe injection sites for heroin users AND ban cigarettes. Conservacucks: Let's wage a war on heroin and have babies smoke cigarettes. Libertarians: Let's set up safe injection sites and let people smoke if they want to. They can wreck their bodies if they so choose.
  14. Bans work well. We can then have the cops kill more black people for selling tobacco, like are being killed now over other drugs.
  15. My awesome idea: Remove nicotine from all tobacco products, but still allow nicotine laced products like vapes, gum, etc.
  16. FDA revives effort to ban menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars WWW.FOX5DC.COM The FDA said Thursday it will work toward a ban of menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars. But any menthol ban would take years to implement and will likely face legal challenges from tobacco companies. I don't want people to smoke, but I also don't feel it's the government's job to prevent people from consuming tobacco.
  17. Funny enough, SCOTUS kind of threw out their previous 2nd Amendment precedent from the 1930s, when they said that only arms that are used in the military are protected. Also, SCOTUS kept black people in chains in the 1850s, because, in part, they feared if blacks were free, they would be able strut around armed like white men: "It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognized as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right ... to keep and carry arms wherever they went."
