Coffee and TV

Gonna take the kicker Trevor Moore:

Weird how all the big cities with the lowest crime rates are also ran by Democrats. It's almost as if there's no correlation.

Moses. (Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin) EDIT: I'm stoopid, was thinking of the Declaration of Independence.

Link to all the teams. I really like the Zona one. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1033590860018543.1073741864.131819213529050&type=3

I didn't, but it's highly regulated and vastly safer than it was before.

No, your theory was that prohibition automatically *doesn't* work, I'm saying there's bound to be examples where prohibition is successful, particularly when you're discussing things that aren't vices in the way gambling, alcohol, or maybe drugs are.

Settle down. I'm just trying to dissect your theory that prohibition automatically doesn't work.

Are guns a vice in the way alcohol or gambling might be?

I think that was the main issue at hand. You don't want anyone who disagrees with your viewpoint to not speak at your University then you're in the wrong place, but I think the difference was specifically when and where Abbot was speaking.

Not quite sure if that's the best analogy. It really depends on what the demand of the product is and how much effort is put into enforcement.

I don't know why I watched the video....I guess it was different than what I expected. The world is cruel, and this is tragic. EDIT: I watched the video that was the live broadcast, not the shooter's personal one. F-ck that, I ain't doing that.

Think it's pretty funny they nabbed some hypocrites tho

Let's go back to pre-EPA when rivers were catching fire and children could play in mountains of carcinogens.

People love to bring up that lawsuit as an example of being over litigious, but in reality it was actually a completely fair lawsuit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald's_Restaurants

Accepted in American society, and Mexico had plenty of indentured servants themselves, so their outlawing of slavery was fairly hypocritical. I'm not gonna pretend like slavery was anything besides what it was, abhorrent, but at some point when honoring the history of this country there's gotta be a line drawn. For all the faults the founding fathers may have had: owning slaves, discrimination against women, allowing only landowners to vote, they were still enlightened thinkers of their time, and they were still responsible for creating a Republic that was more representative of the people. I don't however, see it fit to honor soldiers or politicians who willingly sought to secede from the very Union they were supposed to have an oath to. Those are traitors in my book, and should be recognized as such.

Slavery was widely accepted at the time and was long before then as well. I'm not one to think we should tear down a Washington or Jefferson or Houston statue, I'm more bothered that the South has basically rewritten history to honor those who succeeded as if they were committing an honorable act.

Weird how in that quote you bolded some words of Lee talking about the dissolution of the Union was the most awful thing, yet he served as a high military commander for the treasonous army. His actions seem to be at war with his original statements in 1861. At least Sam Houston wasn't too prideful to see through the BS when it was all going down.

Meh...you can agree or disagree with our reasoning for being in Vietnam but at the end of the day it was an American War. To me the Civil War soldiers are no different than Benedict Arnold, whose bust was removed West Point long ago.

"sacrificed themselves for the community".....to fight for slavery and traitors

Now if they could do something about that confederate memorial, that'd be cool.
