Red Flag Laws = Gun Confiscation Orders. Just because they aren't using the most accurate terms doesn't mean I am editorializing the article. Look at their implementation in the states. All of these laws have the same ends, gun co

Those are my feelings too.. I understand how the public can be swayed by inaccurate media representations, but it's Y Combinator which seems to portray itself as a source of intelligent people.

I agree with what you're saying, but I don't think the "liberal mentality" is a problem. Plenty of liberals realize they are actually pro-gun if you just sit them down and explain the restrictions which are already in pl

The Onion is typically an unreliable source, why not listen to 538 writers who did the research? 'I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise.[1]' [1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/op

You're right, he said the ice caps would be gone by 2014 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsioIw4bvzI ). How are they looking?

The problem is that people hold vaccines and "herd immunity" so dearly to themselves that they're afraid to accept that they have side effects just like any other medication. Gardasil (HPV Vaccine) for example is responsible

You can do that if you want, "fire in a movie theater" was an argument in an overturned Supreme Court ruling.

Seriously? I just assume most people on there are in high school, it seems like a place where the lowest common denominator ideas get upvoted and everything else gets nailed.

I went to Syracuse University and the police force there are a joke. They're your average overpaid, overworked hillbillies who will smoke a cigar in your face while issuing you a ticket and send everything less than a SWAT team to brea

I hope railroading this guy assures that none of my amazon packages are ever stolen in this kind of scheme again. I don't feel bad for him whatsoever. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Um. Yes? What has this guy done in the past 5 years? All the linked commenters saying how great his work is posted 10 year old videos of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Maybe the better question is, is Walt Mossberg still relevant to the technol

Reducing carbon emissions sounds good until you consider that you could actually just save up some money, move somewhere away from the shore, and live out the rest of your life. What incentives are the carbon-reducing crowds providing for t

You should do some reading on pre-public education America, there actually wasn't much demand for it and private education served communities very well.

It's difficult to take someone seriously when they emphasize everything with the word fuck.

Seriously. Does anybody think GDPR is more than just virtue signaling so they can fine companies?

Be careful - in some states like New York this can cost you the ability to ever purchase a gun and be able to defend your life.

Books are incredibly powerful mind viruses and we have done a really great job of weaponizing them over the past thousand years.

Yes, soy destroys almost all sexual organ/sexual development facets of the human experience. Just last week they found that women who were fed soy formula when they were babies have a higher risk of experiencing bad cramps during their

Guessing or using social engineering to get into a Campaign manager's email account is easier than executing a hack across hundreds of counties in a different country. Palin's email account was hacked in 2008... do we think that e

Do you have a link to General Malcolm Stewart's argument? I'd like to read up on it to learn more about this perspective.

Somebody actually ran on this ticket a few years back and lost - their campaign signs said something along the lines of "RED LIGHT CAMERAS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL". The revenue question is more a matter of ideology. You could always

Oh Christ. Why is Citizen's United bad? All it says is you can make a political film leading up to an election and the production of that film shouldn't count as a campaign contribution. It's a perfect example of freedom of s

Yes I know - I grew up in Suffolk County. The people continue voting for politicians that allow these initiatives to occur. It's a feel good solution because at least some people believe the traffic light cameras solve the problem of c

I don't think this is a good example of government corruption. It's just a population stunned by lack of education trying a feel-good solution to a problem that works against their best interests. It's the same as most laws i

It's a beautiful quote and sentiment. But seriously, how unrealistic is that? The bad guys are still going to be here three generations from now and the world is still going to need people with hard skills.

I find this article bizarre. I wake up at 5AM so that I can juggle personal goals - fitness, hobbies, etc with my workday which goes from ~10-5. I typically can work out in the morning, beat my coworkers to work (start work at 7:30, they ge
