The various Yakuza families been allowed to remain in power because the good(?) thing about the Yakuza is that their presence eliminates most petty criminals in the area (because they don't like competition). They will also help out quite a bit during disasters because there's nothing worse for business than when most of their customers become unable to pay for their "services."

One of the comments said that picking answers that were sexist against men gave them a result of only 7% sexist. Verified by picking my own misandrist answers and got 6%. Very typical of Buzzfeed.

And to follow the logic of other people in this topic, why then would going through the second abortion be hypocrisy, then? Isn't she simply changing her mind on an issue? We've established that changing your mind isn't hypocrisy. When does it become hypocrisy? After how many mind changes? What if she has a third abortion? She could theoretically change her mind countless times and never be a hypocrite under this logic.

You are allowed a change of mind, not flip-flopping like a goddamned politician.

Eh, I'm not convinced. I get that people can change their minds of positions, of course they can. I do it too. But if they change their mind on a position after directly benefiting from the former position, then that's hypocrisy to me.

Then you simply don't know what hypocrisy actually is, but perhaps that's because you see abortion as a positive thing ("benefiting") whereas she saw it as something bad after having gone through it once. Now if she does go through with the second abortion after having become anti-abortion, then that would be hypocrisy.

Who wants a cat when you can have a dog? Well-trained dogs don't make a house smell like litter, piss, and shit, and as long as you bathe your dog once a week, the house won't smell like dog either.

Yeah they just make other people's lawn smell like that

That's not a bad idea.

Why 8 years?

There are a few that are 52 and older that I would most likely find to still be very much bangable even after they hit 60 (Cindy Crawford, Elizabeth Hurley, and Sandra Bullock to name a few), but I really can't think of any that are already 60 off the top of my head.

So because you believe that resisting a tyrannical US government today is essentially impossible, we should all just abandon the original intent of the 2nd Amendment which was that every able-bodied man would own a firearm and ammunition that was appropriate for military service (the equivalent today would be the AR-15 or some other STANAG-compatible rifle) that he would bring with him if called upon to serve in the militia if necessary?

It wasn't hypocrisy until she planned the second abortion.

I think being anti-abortion after you've already had one abortion is extremely hypocritical.

People are allowed to have a change of heart. Now if she were anti-abortion before her first abortion and remained anti-abortion afterwards, then that would be hypocritical of her.

I'm noticing that like 80% of the people ITT aren't even bothering to read the first post, let alone the topic, which says a lot about me expecting good discourse on CE I suppose.

No need to directly address your topic when your entire premise is flawed and irrelevant from the get-go. Gun ownership should never be contingent on what some random schmuck considers appropriate for home defense or hunting.
---

Hmm...

The entire premise of your topic is flawed and irrelevant from the very beginning.

Because semi-auto rifles are considered ordinary military equipment (US v Miller) and individual ownership of firearms is not contingent on military or militia service (US v Heller), even if such weapons are not "needed" for home defense, ownership of such weapons are still very much covered by the Constitution.

Unless you can manage to repeal the 2nd (a snowball has a better chance in hell than for this to happen) or you can stuff the SCOTUS with hoplophobes (fat chance), privately-owned semi-auto rifles are an eternal American right.

This probably senile centenarian former-justice's opinion does not represent the at-large opinion of the left.

It doesn't. But as a former Supreme Court justice, I'm willing to give his opinion some of my time, because he's clearly earned it.

I personally wouldn't give any credence to the opinion of someone that has consistently been proven wrong on a particular issue, in this case the 2nd Amendment.

1270 on his SAT'

isnt the SAT out of 2400 now

Think it's back to 1600.

Wait, when did this happen? I remember I took my SAT back in like 2005ish and the 2400 score just came out like the year before.

What's with the 1600 score now? Is it still 800 math and 800 reading? Is there still an essay?

Reading and writing are scored together, and math is separate as always.

Amendments bear the exact same respect and authority as the original text of the Constitution, and it is a fallacy to view them any different unless it has been superseded by any future amendment. Until then, deal with it.

Ok let's make future amendment to repeal 2nd amendment

Good luck, because you are going to need a whole damn lot of luck to get at least 38 states on board with this exercise in futility for the foreseeable future.

Why are we blaming the person instead of his fists? I don't get it.

You only blame the weapon if it is a gun. Otherwise, you should always blame the person for being violent instead of the weapon making the person violent.

How old are the kids? 5-10 or 15-17?

Old enough to get shot in a classroom for no reason. And old enough to care about that.

And yet still young enough for adults to use them like human shields against criticism of their positions.

Good job, hollow, I guess they haven't taken enough shots for your cause yet.

Isn't it funny how high schoolers are still considered children by some when it suits them and essentially as adults when it doesn't.

"Many of these students that are speaking out against gun violence are already old enough to vote or nearly so. We should treat them as the adults they are and listen to what they have to say."

"They are just children scared for their lives. Stop being mean to them!"

This is really dangerous reasoning, since Russia has time and again attempted to manipulate public opinion in a variety of Western countries and on a variety of political agenda.

So, to disregard it as a cheap bogeyman is simply a mistake.

I don't even know how you conflate "SJW" with "Russian foreign policy"... These are and should remain two distinct concepts.

And we haven't done the same in other countries since the 20th century? Face it, foreign actors attempting to influence the outcomes of elections is the rule today, not the exception.

And I notice you're only countering the last point - not the one about how complaining that we can't touch entitlement programs is EXACTLY how we're in the financial quagmire we're in right now.

$1.3 trillion omnibus spending package for fiscal 2018, including nearly $700 billion for the military and $591 billion for non-defense funding.

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2018/03/22/heres-what-military-gets-13-trillion-omnibus-spending-bill.html

tfw the defense budget makes up the majority of our government spending in an entire fiscal year,
can't believe those entitlement programs are sucking us dry ;_;

if only we could find a way to pay for them.

The spending bill only address discretionary spending which is about a third of the overall budget which includes mandatory spending (mainly entitlements) and interest payments.

Andrew Johnson was a much worse person and leader than Trump is. There is no debating that. If you think so, you're a fool.

The Emancipation Proclomation had one exclusion. Tennessee. Johnson's state. Guy literally wanted to keep slaves. The only reason he became President was because Lincoln wanted to appease the south by nominating the only guy that didn't defect from the Union from the south.

Rewriting history now? Several slave states had been excluded on the basis that they were not being controlled by Confederate forces at the time of its issuance. In particular those that were excluded either remained with the Union instead of joining the Confederacy (Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, and Missouri), have already been occupied by Union forces (Tennessee, lower Louisiana), or have seceded from a Confederate state (now West Virginia).
